As Se Kyung grumbled and looked up, Tae Jo’s lips fell onto hers as if they had been waiting.
Their lips softly melded together, and hot breaths intertwined.
Unknowingly, Se Kyung gripped the tie tightly in her hand. Her toes, raised to match Tae Jo’s height, tingled.
“Ah, wait…”
Breathless from their deep kiss, Se Kyung gently pushed Tae Jo away, but only briefly. His lips returned, engulfing Se Kyung like a furious wave.
Overwhelmed by his force, Se Kyung staggered. Tae Jo caught her waist and gently pulled her down.
“Mmm.”
As the kiss deepened, a faint moan escaped Se Kyung’s lips.
He seemed like a beast that had lost all restraint. After thoroughly exploring her lips, Tae Jo suppressed his boiling desire and lifted her in his arms.
“…”
Panting breaths escaped her slightly open lips. Her gaze now leveled with Tae Jo’s.
Their eyes locked intensely in the heated atmosphere.
Tae Jo slowly caressed Se Kyung’s lips. Their red faces from holding breath, their wet lips from the fervent kisses, were provocatively alluring.
He gently kissed her lips, then bumped his forehead against hers.
“Only about 5 weeks left, right?”
5 weeks.
The last broadcast of the drama and the day they were to meet Tae Jo’s parents.
What once seemed so far away was gradually drawing near.
“Preparing for the wedding after meeting the parents seems a bit tight.”
Their noses brushed against each other, and his lips came close.
“Should we start with the marriage registration, then move in together?”
Whispering, Tae Jo’s words made Se Kyung chuckle softly. Look at this. He’s already talking about registering our marriage.
“Isn’t that too hasty?”
“Hasty? Ankko is growing day by day.”
Tae Jo recalled the ultrasound images Se Kyung had shown him.
Initially, the baby, round like a bean without eyes, nose, or mouth, was now growing rapidly, developing limbs and taking human form.
“With only 5 weeks left, think about it again. Whether you’re marrying me just for the baby.”
“I told you before. I find growing Ankko cute, and Yoon Se Kyung cute too.”
“…”
“So I want to live with both of you.”
Tae Jo slid his hand between Se Kyung’s fingers wearing the ring.
“But, you know, I feel like I haven’t properly heard it.”
“Heard what?”
“Whether you like me enough to want to marry me.”
“Of course…”
I’ve liked him. Ever since the moment I first met him and fell in love, all the way up to now.
But during all this time, how could I possibly express what I’ve been feeling? Even if I whisper ‘I love you’ dozens of times, it seems insufficient.
“…I do.”
“What?”
My voice was so quiet he didn’t catch it. When Tae Jo leaned in closer, asking me to repeat, I embraced his neck and whispered in his ear.
“I really do like you. So much that this moment feels like a dream.”
Facing Tae Jo, I smiled warmly. He tilted his head and kissed my lips again.
“Will you stay over tomorrow night at Gapyeong?”
“I said I’d see how it goes. But if Seok Ju comes, it might be hard to leave alone.”
After letting go of me, Tae Jo gazed at me.
“Do you want to come along with Manager Shin in the evening?”
“Would that be okay?”
“There’s a separate annex there. If you get tired, you can rest early. You wanted to go there, right?”
“I wanted to walk along the cherry blossom path with you…”
We hadn’t been able to go on a proper date outside yet. Seeing my longing look, Tae Jo said,
“It’s beautiful there with the lights on at night. Maybe we could sneak out for a walk when it’s quiet.”
“Then I’ll talk to Je Hoon about it.”
I smiled broadly and nodded.
“I’m in!”
Je Hoon raised his arms excitedly.
When I mentioned going to the Gapyeong training center after the ground advertisement shoot and dinner, Je Hoon agreed without hesitation.
“Aren’t you a bit disappointed? If we went early, we could’ve joined the treasure hunt.”
“No, I’m not really disappointed about that…”
“A million won cash for the first prize, you know?”
“Oh, that’s tempting. But I’m not good at finding things.”
Je Hoon shrugged with an awkward smile.
“But going empty-handed feels off. Seok Ju said he’s bringing traditional liquor from the countryside. Should we also bring something?”
“I guess. They’ve prepared most drinks and snacks, though.”
“Something from here? Not everyone there drinks alcohol.”
“Probably.”
Je Hoon scratched his forehead, pondering, but couldn’t come up with a suitable answer.
“If we eat dinner here and go, we’ll arrive around 9, right?”
“It depends on when the shoot ends. If traffic isn’t bad, that should be right.”
“Then they would have already had dinner there, so how about dessert? We could buy something from the nearby department store’s food hall.”
“Oh, that’s not a bad idea.”
Je Hoon clapped in agreement. Whether he genuinely liked the idea or just agreed with everything I said.
“Still, just to be sure, could you contact the early arrivals and ask if they want anything specific?”
“Okay, I will.”
Je Hoon made a call and left the dressing room. I watched him go and sent a message to Tae Jo.
I was excited about a late-night walk just with Tae Jo.
“Se Kyung, we’re about to start shooting.”
“Okay.”
Leaving the dressing room, a faint smile appeared on my lips.
Under the shade of a tree, Tae Jo looked at his phone. He had received a message from Se Kyung, saying they’d likely arrive at Gapyeong around 9 PM.
He quietly scanned the employees scattered around the large garden.
During the morning lecture in the auditorium, Mr. Kang had hidden prize notes throughout the garden.
With the prize money higher than last time, employee participation was greater.
Mr. Kang’s pride was soaring.
“Should I increase the prize next year too?”
“If you do, donate half your salary.”
Tae Jo’s comment soured Mr. Kang’s mood.
I need to cut down his overconfidence before it gets out of hand.
Turning away, Tae Jo walked towards the path lined with fully bloomed cherry trees.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
