“Why are you so surprised? As if you’ve done something wrong.”
Taejo, who chuckled, sat down on the floor, and Seyoung quickly lowered her body. But his hand was quicker at picking up the fallen underwear.
“…”
“…”
An awkward silence flowed between the two. Blushing, Seyoung snatched the underwear from Taejo’s hand.
“Is that… Did you buy it?”
“No. It’s a gift.”
“For whom?”
“For Yeryeong unnie.”
Seyoung glared at her husband. Taejo wiped his face with his dry hand.
“But why aren’t you wearing it?”
“How can I wear this?”
“Then what are you wearing now?”
Taejo, covering his mouth, asked Seyoung.
She couldn’t say anything and just pouted her lips. She couldn’t admit that she was wearing nothing under the bathrobe.
“Then… I’ll change and come out.”
Seyoung felt Taejo’s gaze slowly scanning her body. As she tried to get up and run into the bedroom, Taejo grabbed her hand.
“Why…”
Taejo, who had risen, approached Seyoung. The hand that had been holding her wrist subtly slid under her sleeve, brushing against her bare skin.
Whether he was touching her because the skin was itchy or the heart was itchy, Seyoung wasn’t sure. She slightly pulled away, and Taejo’s hand slipped under the sleeve.
“Right now, Kyuwon is sleeping.”
“Is that so?”
While Kyuwon was sleeping, why does your gaze change, Mr. Taejo?
Hesitant Seyoung swallowed the dry saliva. Glancing around to find a place to escape, she turned around, but in the meantime, Taejo approached and hugged Seyoung’s waist.
Something firm could be felt between the closely pressed bodies. The air surrounding the two suddenly became warm.
“A little disappointing. I wanted to see what you were wearing.”
Taejo’s gaze lingered on the underwear in Seyoung’s hand. The hand that wasn’t wrapping around her waist lightly swept up her back.
“Now, wait a moment…”
Feeling an alluring sensation creeping up her spine, Seyoung shivered. She blocked Taejo’s approaching lips with her fingertips.
“You, calm down a bit.”
Taejo met his wife’s eyes and bit her finger. There was no doubt that he was upset about her rejection.
“How am I supposed to calm down in this situation?”
Holding Seyoung tightly, Taejo entered the room. Placing Seyoung on the bed, he looked down at her, tossing his shirt aside.
“If you provoke someone, you should take responsibility.”
“Who provoked…”
Seyoung’s voice faded. Even as she spoke, her gaze was fixed on Taejo’s body.
Straight shoulders, a well-toned body from exercise, and balanced muscles beneath smooth skin.
“So, you don’t like it?”
With a sly smile, Taejo opened Seyoung’s gown. While Seyoung nervously adjusted the neckline, he explored the protruding collarbone.
Despite always being called a mischievous cat, maybe this man is the real mischievous one.
“Who said I don’t like it?”
Seyoung embraced Taejo’s neck with both hands. Pulling his face towards hers, she kissed his lips loudly.
“Just don’t leave any marks. I have to film a drama.”
“But they won’t be visible.”
After getting permission, Taejo covered Seyoung’s body with his own.
⭐⭐⭐
They were on their way to the hotel after having dinner at a nice restaurant.
Yeryeong smiled as she looked out the car window. When the car stopped at a signal, Yoonjo asked, seeing his wife smiling.
“Is there something interesting outside?”
“No.”
“But why are you smiling like there’s something enjoyable?”
Yoonjo held Yeryeong’s hand and gently squeezed her fingers. When the signal turned red again, Yoonjo, with his hand on the steering wheel, slowly pressed the accelerator.
“Just thinking about Dongseo.”
She toyed with the bouquet of flowers on her knee. She had a brief conversation with Seyoung before leaving home.
When I asked if she properly used the underwear I bought, she hesitated for a long time and said she couldn’t wear it, how cute it was.
“Why Dongseo?”
“I gave him a gift. He didn’t wear it properly, but it seems like the purpose was achieved.”
“Does your Dongseo like it?”
“He’s pretty and kind. He even booked a hotel suite for my birthday. Can I not look pretty?”
Yeryeong playfully kissed Yoonjo’s hand. When the car arrived at the hotel, the two handed the valet the keys and entered the lobby.
After checking in, the couple received their key card and headed straight for the elevator. Arriving at the 23rd-floor suite, Yeryeong inserted the key and entered.
“Oh my.”
Inside the brightly lit room, prepared gifts were waiting. A card in the flower basket contained Seyoung’s message congratulating Yeryeong on her birthday and wishing her a good night.
“Look at this. I can only look pretty if I do this.”
Yeryeong shook the card in her hand. Yoonjo sat beside her, and as she handed him the card, he examined it.
“There’s wine and cake here too. It looks like they’ve prepared for us to have a good time.”
Yeryeong, holding a wine bottle, used an opener to uncork the cork. After pouring wine into the glass, she handed it to Yoonjo.
“Yeryeong.”
“Yes?”
Yeryeong spun the glass once, bringing it to her lips. Choosing her words carefully, as if not to hurt her wife, Yoonjo hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“Should we stop? The trial at the hospital.”
Yeryeong’s hand paused. Yoonjo, uneasy about saying such words, managed a forced smile.
“Every time we go to the hospital, you seem to struggle.”
Although undergoing tests and receiving hormone injections at the hospital were challenging, Yoonjo knew that Seyoung secretly swallowed her tears every time the result turned out not to be a pregnancy.
Each time, Yoonjo felt helpless as there was nothing he could do for her.
“I know you want a child more than anyone. And I know you feel sorry about the child we sent away.”
But that’s why he had to be the one to speak first. Otherwise, Yeryeong might cling to the idea of having a child without caring about her own body.
“To be honest, it’s not easy.”
“…”
“But when I look at photos of you when you were young and Kyuwon, a desire arises in me too. I also want a child who looks like you.”
“Yeryeong.”
Yeryeong lowered the glass in her hand and smiled lightly at her husband.
“I understand. It must be as hard for you watching from the sidelines.”
“…”
“Still, can we try a little harder? I’ll continue the treatment until the end of this year. If it still doesn’t work… let’s think about it again then, okay?”
Yeryeong, nestled in Yoonjo’s embrace, looked up. Seeing her with a helpless look in her eyes, he lightly smiled, knowing he was weak in such situations.
“How can I win against you? But promise me one thing. I’ll take care of your body first.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve been exercising diligently lately.”
Smirking, Yeryeong placed her weight on Yoonjo. Lying on the sofa, he caressed his wife’s head.
At that moment, Yeryeong placed her hand on Yoonjo’s chest, raised her upper body abruptly, and said, “In that case, you should make an effort now too.”
“Huh? Now?”
Nodding confidently while looking at her surprised husband, Yeryeong continued, slipping her fingers under Yoonjo’s tie and loosening it.
“Hey, Yeryeong, this is the sofa here…”
“Darling, is the location important right now?”
Yoonjo’s Adam’s apple trembled at his bold wife’s actions. Yeryeong unbuttoned his shirt and, holding her husband’s lips with her own, asked, “Even though we haven’t started with the wine yet, is the location important?”
Before Yoonjo could respond, moans emanated from his lips. Silencing his repeated words with her soft lips, Yeryeong lifted her body over him, placing herself above her wife.
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…?
