But there was more to confirm. Taeseok exerted superhuman strength to hold onto the thread of reason.
“So, you just have to tell me about my weakness that Jihyun Jung mentioned, Yeoreum.”
The only thing he hadn’t figured out yet.
But Summer’s face suddenly darkened.
The video of Seo Taeseok. A horrifying term even to think about.
She didn’t want to talk about it. The impact of that video was significant when Summer said that they were still dating and circled around without saying that she wanted to start over. How could she not hesitate even at the moment they confirmed each other’s feelings like this?
Even if she understood, that uncontrollable video would inevitably grab Taeseok’s ankles at the most crucial moment. Perhaps the crucial moment would be the day he learned that Jihyun Jung had met Choi Yeoreum again.
“It’s okay. Just tell me. I’ll handle it.”
It won’t be solvable.
Even if it’s said that the original was deleted, it’s unknown how many copies exist, and the woman had already set several traps that couldn’t be escaped.
“…”
As Summer’s silence prolonged, Taeseok felt anger inside. Even though they had come this far, the damn threat made it impossible for her to open her mouth easily.
Until now, that woman has been disturbing Summer’s heart for over two years. She is prepared to inflict all possible pain. Unable to harm her physically, she has resolved to completely bury her socially.
Even though she harbored such dreadful thoughts, Summer, not wanting Taeseok to know the extremes of his cruel intentions, waited for a gentle answer with a smile.
After a long while, Summer spoke.
“But, Oppa, why does Jihyun Jung cling to you so much? Even when there are several other actors in the agency, why only cling to you?”
“Oh. I didn’t say that.”
Taeseok replied briefly.
“That woman loves me.”
It was a tone filled with sarcasm and disdain. Summer was surprised, her eyes widening.
“I haven’t thought about that… But people were saying that Poo Entertainment’s CEO, Shin Mincheol, and Jihyun Jung are going to reunite. There were even people openly buying stocks, saying they didn’t know how big the scale would be if HJ Entertainment and Poo Entertainment merged.”
It was an industry-wide rumor. Due to such rumors, Summer couldn’t be sure of Jihyun Jung’s feelings. There was nowhere she could openly ask.
“But just because we broke up doesn’t mean you’ll fall in love with Jihyun Jung, right?”
It was too distorted to be called love. Summer made a face.
“If Seo Taeseok breaks up with me and falls in love with another woman, and breaks up with her to meet another woman, did he plan to threaten breaking up every time?”
A soft touch wiped away the tears from Summer’s eyes. Whether Summer was frowning or not, Taeseok, with his forehead creased, lightly laughed.
“Don’t even think about breaking up with you.”
“…”
“And even if it’s hard, you have to tell me. That’s the only way to win.”
Taeseok’s voice became firm. Nevertheless, Summer’s mouth remained closed.
Suddenly, Taeseok was hospitalized, and confessing in a hospital where the feelings were uncontrollable, Summer was still hesitating. If they were to start over, Taeseok’s path would be entirely muddy.
I left for your flower road. Now it can’t be ruined.
If Jihyun Jung produces provocative articles with all kinds of media plays, the whole country will talk about video discussions only, and Seo Taeseok is right. No, it’s manipulation. It’s a fact.
The article will continue to expand, baseless informants will emerge, someone will claim to have seen it in person, and in the end, regardless of the truth, Taeseok will have to stir up trouble and apologize.
After a long and exhausting fight, he’ll just become that kind of person…
“Yeoreum.”
As if cutting off unnecessary thoughts, he called her firmly.
“Give me that baggage now.”
Their gazes crossed for a long time. Silence piled up in the quiet living room.
Despite that, now, should I start hoping? Because I’ve been tired for a long time…
“…There’s a certain video.”
Finally, Summer opened her mouth.
Kim Jeong-im’s footsteps, heading to the research lab after finishing the outpatient clinic, were surprisingly light. They hadn’t exchanged many words, but he liked the bright-faced young lady who his son liked.
This time, I hope we meet well. Youth.
“Professor! Flowers have been delivered, and they are in the research lab.”
He nodded at the nurse’s words. Unless it was a special day, there was no one who would give flowers as a gift. It couldn’t be the gruff husband.
“Thank you.”
Upon entering the research lab, a fresh spring was blooming on the desk.
It was a bouquet of bright flowers in pastel tones. Freesias, tulips, ranunculus venus; you are all so beautiful. The rich floral fragrance filled the research lab.
Inside the bouquet, there was a note.
<Professor Kim Jeong-im, thank you for your kindness and comforting me. Thanks to you, I could gather the courage. The drink you gave me that day was sweeter than flowers. Choi Yeoreum.>
“Who is this young lady?”
Kim Jeong-im, who had flower petals on her nose, read the note and burst into laughter. Where on earth did Seo Taeseok find such a jewel-like young lady?
At that moment, it became a serious consideration whether, if they were to break up again, he should personally intervene.
At the same time, there was a bouquet on the first floor.
Kim Mi-jin, the nurse sitting at the information desk, also made a puzzled expression when she saw the bouquet.
‘Choi Yeoreum. Who is Choi Yeoreum? Where have I heard that name… Ah!’
The day the article about Seo Taeseok came out. There was a woman who cried so miserably. Her expression was so desperate that it was an unforgettable memory.
<Thank you, Nurse Kim Mi-jin, for your kindness that day. It was a great help. Choi Yeoreum.>
“Oh my, such a gift…”
It was a day’s start as pleasant as the fragrance of flowers.
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…?
