The grandmother looked up at him, nodded once, and started wrapping the flowers. Her speed and skill were quite impressive.
In an instant, the flowers turned into a giant bouquet, and with the rich fragrance, butterflies seemed to flutter from somewhere. A massive bouquet, obscuring the grandmother’s face, was complete.
“Here you go.”
The grandmother handed him the flowers.
The moment he received them, he felt an electric shock running through his body. It felt like tingling from the spine to the brain. He even thought about the journey he had taken to receive these flowers.
It was beautiful.
It was a bouquet containing every color that could come from flowers. Taeseok felt like he had the whole world in his hands.
Although Taeseok had received countless bouquets at numerous film festivals, this feeling was unique. The intense floral scent almost paralyzed his nose. He wanted to deliver it to Summer as soon as possible.
“Thank you. How much is it?”
“It’s paid for.”
The grandmother’s voice was small, but it penetrated the air and stuck in his ears. It was as clear as listening through earphones.
Unable to refuse when she offered to create an enormous bouquet and not accept payment, as Taeseok started to voice his objections, she continued speaking.
“[Take care. And…]”
At the moment when the grandmother’s gaze felt unsettling, she uttered strange words.
“[It’ll be fine.]”
And then she disappeared.
In the brief moment when the bouquet blocked his view, the grandmother vanished like a mirage. Taeseok stood in the middle of the street, holding all the beauty of the world in his arms.
Undoubtedly, such a dream ingrained in his mind was a first.
The next day, Taeseok headed to the flower shop. The dream he had last night lingered, unforgettable. He wanted to prepare a bouquet similar to the one in his dream and give it as a gift to Summer.
Clang.
“Welcome… Oh my!”
The owner, who was arranging flowers, was startled and dropped a bunch. Taeseok casually picked them up and greeted.
“Yes. Hello. I’d like to buy some flowers.”
“Oh my, Mr. Seo Taeseok. A fan, I see.”
The owner greeted him in a hurry and shook hands.
“Are you going to give a gift to your girlfriend? What kind would you like?”
He added that it was a good thing he came today because the flowers had just arrived, and there were many types. He seemed ready to provide anything with just a word.
“Well… Give me a lot of different ones. A feeling of collecting all the beautiful flowers. How many flowers are in a bouquet of this size?”
Taeseok roughly indicated the size he wanted, making it look like he was creating an imaginary bouquet in the air. After assessing his embrace, the owner chuckled and replied.
“Well, I think it won’t fit less than 500. I’ll make it for you.”
“You said you liked me. Was that a lie?”
As he was leaving, it seemed like this oppa was curious about that. He wanted to fly away without any lingering feelings. How should he respond? If he says his feelings are genuine, it might be a bit burdensome.
I want to be a burden to you.
If your heart feels heavy, you might look back one day.
“When are you leaving?”
“Next week.”
Although Ji-hyuk said he would come back in two or three months, Young didn’t believe it. He seemed like someone preparing for a longer parting. When he learned that Ji-hyuk terminated his contract with Poo Entertainment and exclusive management, suspicions turned into certainty.
Shin Min-cheol let Ji-hyuk go without any penalties. No, waiting for him would be more appropriate. Ji-hyuk, who would return soon, was still waiting for him.
Young couldn’t believe such an unreasonable trust, but that’s how their relationship was. They believed that they wouldn’t end up like Ji Hyun-jeong and Seo Tae-seok.
“Yeah. There should be at least one friendship like that left on this ground.”
“I really like you. I didn’t want to confess like that. I regretted confessing a lot.”
“Why?”
“Huh?”
“Why do you like me?”
A bitter laugh escaped. He never expected such a foolish question. Why does he like her? Because Ji-hyuk’s smile was a light for the teenage girl who had a difficult family background. There were times when she lived just by looking at Ji-hyuk.
“I like him because he’s handsome. Oppa’s fans all say the same thing. I’m the same.”
No other words came to mind.
A moment of silence settled on the table in front of them.
“I’ll wait. I’ve waited quite a long time, so waiting a bit longer isn’t that difficult. After you come back, let’s meet again, and we…”
Young paused for a moment. After returning, he thought about what they could do.
Originally, they didn’t have much between them. They met a few times, had meals together, and were the lead actors in a drama, with Summer in the center. They never dated or became friends.
To be precise, they were in the process of becoming friends.
As the silence lingered, Ji-hyuk picked up from where Young left off.
“Yeah. After you come back, let’s have a drink again, just the two of us. I’ll contact you.”
For the first time in a while, he took a long drive.
He set his mind on a historical drama. Once the decision was made, there was much more to prepare. He wanted to outline the details roughly by the middle of this month.
True love that doesn’t let go of each other in the face of reality entwined with the era and ideology. The setting could be any school or police station in Gyeongseong, and the household environments of the male and female leads should be significantly different.
Summer created various stories in her mind.
But as she did, she felt tired.
Lately, she felt tired and sleepy easily. Despite firm determination to lose weight before the dress fitting day, once she got home, she found herself too busy crawling into bed. And soon, she dozed off.
‘What should I do? That’s why I gain weight around my waist.’
Her eyelids kept dropping. Summer confirmed that there was a parking space ahead and parked her car for a moment. Although she had almost arrived home, she was so sleepy that it seemed good to rest for a while.
She wiped her eyes with her hand and briefly rested her head on the steering wheel.
At that moment, a truck, as if shooting like an arrow, started rushing towards Summer.
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…?
