The day to select the final winner of the competition had arrived.
“I’ve sent you the proposals of the final five candidates in advance, so I believe everyone has reviewed them. Let’s proceed with the meeting,” Secretary Park announced, signaling the start of the session. The executives sitting in the conference room began to scrutinize the proposals once more to make their final decision.
After a few minutes, the ultimate winner was selected through voting.
“Based on the voting results, we’ve decided on this proposal as the winning work. The results will be announced as scheduled tomorrow at 9 a.m. on the company’s website. Thank you for your hard work.” With a closing remark, the executives one by one left the meeting room.
Meanwhile, at Su Ah’s house.
The announcement day of the competition winner, which had suddenly come around to tomorrow, caused Su Ah to be in high spirits since morning. She was pacing around the room, making a fuss with her excited voice.
“Da Eun! It’s tomorrow. Tomorrow. The results are out tomorrow!”
“I know. Stop making such a fuss. You’re driving me crazy.”
“I’m just nervous. Huff! Huff! I hope my heart won’t explode before I even see the results. I could end up being rushed to the hospital.”
“If your heart were going to explode that easily, it would have exploded a few times by now. You’ve waited for interview results countless times already.”
Sigh. Sometimes, it seemed like Da Eun had no ability to empathize with others at all.
Looking askance at Da Eun, who was too calm because it wasn’t about her, Su Ah suddenly seemed to remember something, got up from her seat, and picked up her coat.
“Where are you going?”
“I just thought of something and I’m going to go out for a bit.”
“Where to?”
“If you want to go to a good place, you have to receive good energy, right?”
Leaving behind her cryptic words, Su Ah quickly left the house.
A short while later, the place where the hurrying Su Ah arrived was in front of Hyun Sung Group’s headquarters.
“If I want to join Hyun Sung Group, isn’t it natural for me to receive the energy of Hyun Sung Group?”
Inhale. Hah. Inhale. Hah.
Regardless of whether the surrounding people misunderstood her as a strange person or not, she was taking deep breaths when she heard,
“Could it be… Su Ah?”
Su Ah turned her head towards the source of her name and found a woman looking at her with a welcoming expression.
“Who…?”
“It’s me, Kim Ji Soo. We were in the same department at Myung Shin University, don’t you remember?”
“Ah…”
She remembered.
Myung Shin University’s Kim Ji Soo.
Kim Ji Soo, a name she didn’t want to recall ever again.
Kim Ji Soo, whom she had finally forgotten and was living without.
“Oh, right. Ji Soo. It’s been a long time.”
“Indeed. It’s the first time we’ve met like this since we graduated from university. Isn’t it? I’m so happy to see you.”
‘The attitude of not caring about others’ feelings, still the same.’
Su Ah’s eyes slightly crinkled.
“Sorry. I’m in the middle of going somewhere. I’ll go first.”
“Do you still keep in touch with Min Chul?”
Su Ah, who was about to turn around, stopped at Ji Soo’s question.
“What?”
“I mean, Min Chul.”
“Why would you think I keep in touch with the man you married?”
She asked in a sharp tone, as if she had heard something she shouldn’t have,
But Ji Soo’s mouth corner went up as if she found Su Ah’s words amusing.
“Oh my, I didn’t know we didn’t get married. I thought he went back to you after breaking up with me. Guess that wasn’t the case.”
“I’m a bit busy, so I’ll go first.”
Ignoring the words of the woman who wasn’t worth responding to, Su Ah hastily left the place.
On the bus home.
The memories of the past that had been painstakingly buried in a corner of her heart vividly resurfaced as if they had just happened.
One day during her senior year of university.
She found out that Ji Soo, who had suddenly approached her wanting to be friends, was secretly meeting with Min Chul, her boyfriend of five years.
Did she not want to believe it?
The answer she received from Min Chul, whom she sought out in the hopes of hearing some sort of excuse, was,
“Su Ah, I’m sorry. It really was just one time.”
Her boyfriend, whom she had hoped would deny it even if it were a lie, admitted to meeting Ji Soo.
She returned home in a daze, leaving him there making incoherent excuses, only for Ji Soo to visit her that night.
“I heard from Min Chul. You found out about us, didn’t you?”
Us?
She was dumbstruck by the absurdity.
“Even if Min Chul apologizes and begs, don’t take him back. That’s why I came.”
“What? What are you talking about…”
“You’re not thinking of getting back together, are you? Don’t cling pathetically, just let Min Chul go.”
“What? Pathetically? How can you say that? I thought of you as a friend…”
“Friend? I never considered you a friend.”
Ji Soo said, raising the corner of her mouth.
“I approached you from the start because of Min Chul. I was curious about what was so great about you that Min Chul was so into you. You were nothing more or less than that to me.”
“….”
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…?
