So Min added more words, mocking Ha Joon.
“I’ve known Ji An for sixteen years too. I know her just as well as you do.”
“Speak so I can understand.”
“I also said she was unlucky. On the day I planned to confess, instead of you, Ji An came out… Your highness Yoon wouldn’t have just said let’s each live our own lives, and Ji An wouldn’t have scratched your calm nerve for no reason. So I thought, you had her do another pointless thing. Like meeting a woman and asking her to reject you. But you didn’t like that, did you?”
Being accurately pointed out the facts, Ha Joon closed his lips tightly and looked straight at So Min.
Thinking it was an opportunity, So Min poured out the words she had been holding back like a bomb.
“Since we’re on the topic, I’ll add a little more. We, who have the expectations of our parents on our shoulders, don’t understand Ji An. We can’t say things like: if she’s smiling and laughing, I’ll give way, or I’ll help too. We never say such things.”
“Don’t push Ji An into a strange personality. It’s uncomfortable to hear… So where is she?”
In fact, So Min knew Ji An was in Jeju Island because she had talked to her about opening a class at the academy. Of course, it was a secret from Ha Joon.
After a moment, she let out an inscrutable laugh.
“How should I know where she is? And don’t act like you’re something to Ji An.”
“Lee So Min. Any more, and it’s crossing the line, not just for Ji An but for me too.”
But So Min didn’t care and continued her words.
“If you’re not going to take responsibility for Ji An’s life, stop worrying about it at this point.”
Ha Joon looked at So Min, who was nervously licking her lips, with a deep gaze.
Being older, he’d heard countless times that men and women can’t be friends, especially when marriage is brought into the picture.
It was obvious So Min would say something similar.
“Both I and Yu Jin live like this because of work, but our Ji An should also experience love and get married. She’s a child who feels a lot of loneliness. If you’re not going to do it, I won’t oppose it if you’ll let it go.”
Ha Joon didn’t like that someone else was talking about Ji An in that way.
He passed his hands over his face and exhaled softly.
The factbombardment was almost lethal at this point.
He had stayed up all night and even postponed going to work to find Yu Jin. He couldn’t even see the piledup case reports in front of him.
He wanted to ask So Min if she really worried about Ji An. If so, how could she calmly manage her work.
His voice came out hoarse.
“Why do you decide that? And how do you know what Ji An meant to me? You’re not in my shoes. I know my feelings clearly… I’m leaving.”
Ha Joon thought the days without Ji An were just unfamiliar. Also, he didn’t know because he had never thought about life without her.
But at this point, he seemed to know. He realized that life could be entirely shaken without Ji An.
Happy Officetel parking lot.
Getting into the elevator, Ha Joon cancelled the 9th floor with the red light on and pressed for the 1st floor.
He was at his wits’ end with the message that his phone had been turned off.
The excuse of being busy because of the case was exceedingly lame, and his regret was too late.
Exiting the common entrance, he pushed the door of the GX convenience store.
The parttimer Min Chan greeted him with a nod and then looked at Ha Joon with a puzzled expression.
In his memory, there was no reason for Ha Joon to visit this place if not for Ji An.
“She’s not here.”
“I know. Give me a pack of cigarettes.”
“What kind would you like?”
The cigarette pointed out by Ha Joon’s index finger was placed on the counter.
“Did your sister move well?”
“You… knew about it?”
Ha Joon’s voice lifted as if he had found a clue to the case.
Then Min Chan pointed at the potted plant by the window.
“Yes? Yes, because of that.”
It was Ji An’s special dandelion pot. Yellow dandelions were blooming all over the pots lined up side by side.
“Was that here?”
“Sister left it. She asked me to take care of it for a month.”
“A month?”
“Yes.”
Min Chan added while returning the card.
“But I think I’ll just leave it when the sister comes. The customers really like it.”
“Are you sure about the month?”
“Yes. She specifically mentioned a month.”
Returning to the officetel, Ha Joon collapsed onto the sofa.
A month, then. That meant she would come back. The date was not far off.
“I won’t need the phone call history.”
Leaning his head on the sofa’s headrest, Ha Joon opened his phone and fixated his gaze on the eleven digits.
He knew that no matter where Ji An was, she would be in contact with Jae Yoon.
“I have to say hello. I can make time.”
He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth again.
It was the cigarette he had quit because Ji An hated the smell so much she would gag.
The cigarette he had quit.
And now he was lighting up again and sitting there.
Looking at the number displayed on his phone, Ha Joon pressed the call button.
Click.
It’s Ha Joon.
“Yes, Father. This is Ha Joon.”
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…?
