Marriage would come later, perhaps in their late thirties, like most celebrities? It could wait until later. It wasn’t possible to turn a male actor’s peak value in his early thirties into a married man.
“I’m just thinking about it. Having a life with a baby wouldn’t be bad.”
Yeoreum thought about the peaceful family life that Tae-seok dreamed of.
Both of them grew up as outsiders, but their childhoods were entirely different. If Tae-seok grew up lonely under busy parents, Yeoreum grew up enjoying plenty of things as an outsider.
If you had to compare, Yeoreum valued her own life more than a happy home. Tae-seok knew that well, and they respected each other’s thoughts.
“Yeah. Someday, we’ll get married and have a baby. I’d like a son who looks like Oppa.”
Yeoreum played along with his imagination. Even if it was a topic she wasn’t interested in yet, talking about the future was a happy thing.
“Rather than a son, I prefer a daughter.”
“Goodness. Oppa! Mom would be upset if she hears.”
As Tae-seok kissed Yeoreum on the cheek, he thought about Kim Jung-im. Well, Mom wouldn’t be too upset. She’s quite individualistic and actually dislikes being bothered, so she probably wouldn’t mind much.
He just laughed it off.
“I searched during the day, and there’s a walking path around here. Oppa.”
“A walking path?”
“Yeah. It seems you can walk all the way along the beach.”
“Sounds good.”
“I’ll walk to the filming location tomorrow at lunchtime.”
“I’ll send a car. Don’t walk alone.”
“I want to walk.”
“It’s dangerous. Don’t go outside the pension.”
Yeoreum laughed.
“What could be dangerous in this quiet sea!”
Tae-seok swallowed his words. As if once wasn’t enough, he again delved into Yeoreum’s embrace. Yeoreum, who had been resisting, suddenly remembered and asked.
“Oppa, did you receive my letter by any chance?”
“Letter. What letter?”
Tae-seok’s hand traced the contours of Yeoreum’s face.
“Oh…! Just a moment.”
Blushing, Yeoreum moved away, but on the avoided side, Tae-seok’s other hand was waiting. Inevitably crumbling under the strong touch that wrapped around her waist, Yeoreum said.
“Two years ago, when Oppa left… Even if it’s just the last letter, I asked Ji Hyun-jung to give it to you…”
Tae-seok paused for a moment. Uttering curses beneath her breath that Yeoreum wouldn’t understand, he said.
“I didn’t receive it.”
“Oh.”
“If something like that remained, I wouldn’t have hated you.”
Tae-seok sharpened his words.
“What did you write?”
“Just… I thanked you… I felt sorry for leaving like that…”
Tae-seok came back again.
“I can’t forgive you anymore.”
Tae-seok coldly said, embracing Yeoreum warmly. Yeoreum didn’t see his eyes shining with anger. Once again, she fell into pleasure.
After Tae-seok finished a light walk and returned, Yeoreum was still asleep. Well, she had pushed herself hard yesterday. Feeling somewhat sorry, Tae-seok thought he should make breakfast.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he silently looked at the sleeping Yeoreum, thinking about good menu options for breakfast. Jjigae seemed okay, but there might be a shortage of ingredients…
At that moment, Yeoreum woke up.
“You came back smelling of the sea. Oppa.”
Smiling at Tae-seok, Yeoreum’s face made him lose his composure. Tae-seok, checking his watch, looked at Yeoreum again.
“Don’t tempt me since there’s no time.”
At his absurd reaction, Yeoreum laughed again.
“I might end up eating something else instead of breakfast. Stop laughing. My patience is running out.”
“Okay. I won’t laugh. Then I’ll cry.”
“Are you crazy?”
As Tae-seok lay on the bed, he grabbed Yeoreum’s wrist, lowered his waist, and looked into her eyes.
“How can I cry?”
“Oh, no. I didn’t mean that!”
“Why do you make me want to cry?”
As Yeoreum struggled, the blanket covering her went down a bit. Tae-seok sighed lowly.
“Don’t tempt me. Yeoreum.”
Yeoreum kept her mouth shut. It seemed that no matter what she said, it would only be a stimulus to Tae-seok.
“Crying on the bed. Don’t do it recklessly.”
“…….”
“You can make me cry like yesterday.”
Eventually, Yeoreum sniffled.
Suppressing desire with superhuman strength, Tae-seok released Yeoreum’s wrist. His face was filled with regret.
“……I’ll make breakfast.”
Tae-seok left for filming, leaving Yeoreum alone to do the dishes.
The breakfast he made was so delicious that it could rival most restaurants. Yeoreum often marveled at his cooking skills.
Even though they were both illegitimate children…
Compared to her, who didn’t do household chores properly, Tae-seok seemed mature in everything. Were his parents busy? Was that why he became good at everything on his own?
Being good at cooking is really unfair. She suddenly became curious about his mother, who raised such an excellent son. She heard she was a doctor. Was she scary or picky? The thought of meeting her made her somewhat nervous.
“No, there’s nothing to meet her about right now.”
Feeling like she had jumped the gun, she finished tidying up, got dressed, and headed out. She was planning to go to the filming location.
“Which way is the walking path?”
Standing at the entrance of the pension, she tried to figure out the direction. The sea was right in front, and a small trail appeared through the pine forest on the right. Yeoreum decided to walk in that direction.
“They said it’s about a 10-minute walk…”
That’s when it happened.
A long and strong arm suddenly emerged, grabbing Yeoreum’s arm and spinning her around. Caught off guard, she ended up entangled with that arm, pressed against the pension wall.
Naturally, she thought it was Tae-seok. After all, there was no one else who could grab her like this.
“Oppa! What’s this? The filming…”
Yeoreum called out, laughing. However, the approaching voice sounded unfamiliar.
“Who did you think it was, Oppa?”
Yeoreum, with her hair tucked into her scarf, raised her head suddenly.
“W-who?”
After fixing her disheveled bangs, her face finally became visible.
“Ji-hyuk?”
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…?
