“Don’t apologize for everything. Don’t worry. Whether it’s next door or here, it’s our house.”
“Yeah?”
“Now, if we’re talking about it, should we check our house mattress?”
Seol Ji-oh suddenly approached. As Yeo-un stepped back with a puzzled look, he unexpectedly lifted her up.
Feeling like her body was floating in the air, Yeo-un let out a scream.
“Ah! Hey!”
Ignoring Yeo-un, who hit his shoulders, Seol Ji-oh headed for the bedroom. Gently placing Yeo-un on the bed, Seol Ji-oh grinned and lay down beside her.
Yeo-un was tense, wondering if something more was going to happen, but he simply lay down next to her without any further action.
What? Just… lying down next to her?
Feeling a bit disappointed, she glanced at his face. Placing one hand on her forehead, he closed his eyes.
Is he tired?
Curious about the sudden change in atmosphere, Yeo-un asked, “Ji-oh, what’s going on?”
“Well, I just… regret it a bit.”
“Regret? What?”
Seol Ji-oh opened his eyes and turned his body toward Yeo-un. Reaching out his hand to gently touch her forehead, he murmured softly.
“I should have moved you earlier.”
“…….”
“The day your ex-boyfriend came. If I had moved right away… you wouldn’t have had to go through that pain.”
At that time, the incident left wounds that were not only on Yeo-un but also on Seol Ji-oh. Seol Ji-oh, who kept blaming himself, was pitiable. Yeo-un approached him and hugged him.
“I’m okay. I’ve moved now, and such things won’t happen again. Moreover, the guy next door is you, so I feel really safe.”
Seol Ji-oh, comforted by Yeo-un, smiled warmly.
As he comforted her by kissing her forehead in response to her comforting words, Seol Ji-oh held Yeo-un in his arms and thought, ‘I don’t want to hurt you again…’
The production preview and press conference for the movie ‘Arrow’ took place at a hotel in Seoul.
Yeo-un was tense all morning. It was an event where she had to appear in front of people after a long time, and the expectations and pressure for the movie made her heart pound since last night.
After getting her makeup done at the shop, Yeo-un entered the waiting room with a tense expression.
And when she opened the waiting room door, Yeo-un froze in place.
“……!”
A woman with long hair was standing there. The sight of her back overlapped with Seol Hye-ri’s, and Yeo-un momentarily felt her breath being cut off.
“Ugh……”
Yeo-un staggered and grabbed the wall for support. As she continued to step back, her uneasy steps caused the high heels to suddenly twist sideways. For a moment, Yeo-un felt her body swaying.
Feeling the center of gravity of her body collapsing, she felt a moment when she might fall. At that moment, a firm wall touched her back.
The wall that prevented Yeo-un from falling was Seol Ji-oh. He looked at Yeo-un with surprised eyes.
“Are you okay? What happened?”
“Hah… hah…”
Breathing heavily, Yeo-un raised her head. Tears had welled up in her eyes, and through the blurred vision, Seol Ji-oh appeared.
He was the wall that firmly held her. Seol Ji-oh stared at her condition with a surprised look.
“Why are you like this? What happened?”
Then he glanced at Go Hyeon-a, who was standing in the waiting room.
“What on earth?”
Go Hyeon-a spoke as if feeling unjustly treated.
“I didn’t do anything! The door suddenly opened, and she just collapsed by herself!”
“Does that make sense?”
“I’m also bewildered right now!”
Yeo-un reached out and grabbed Seol Ji-oh’s arm.
“Uh, Yeo-un. Should we go to the hospital right away?”
Yeo-un shook her head. She couldn’t let herself cause harm to the production preview because of her.
“My bag… there are medicines in my bag.”
Seol Ji-oh glanced around and retrieved Yeo-un’s dropped bag. Finding a pill bottle inside the small bag, he brought water and offered it along with the medicine to Yeo-un.
After taking the medicine, Yeo-un closed her eyes. Her body was still trembling.
I need to take deep breaths. The doctor told me to take deep breaths…
Yeo-un tried her best to take deep breaths. Seol Ji-oh lifted Yeo-un and laid her on the sofa inside the waiting room, observing her complexion.
Suddenly, Seol Ji-oh turned to look at Go Hyeon-a. Speaking as if he understood, he said,
“It’s because of that hair.”
“What?”
“Can you change your hairstyle a bit? How about tying it up?”
Go Hyeon-a responded in disbelief,
“What are you talking about? I spent a long time setting up this hair since this morning.”
“Just now, did you not see Yeo-un surprised? Just think of it as helping her just this once…”
“I don’t want to.”
“What?”
“Should all the women in the world tie their hair for Yeo-un? Isn’t that something she should overcome herself?”
“Ha.”
Seol Ji-oh let out a bitter laugh.
Is tying one’s hair really such a difficult task? The person is collapsed like that…
Go Hyeon-a clenched her fist and said,
“Are you telling me she came to the production preview without recovering yet? If something goes wrong and she collapses again, is Yeo-un responsible for ruining our preview?”
“Ms. Go Hyeon-a! It wasn’t a seizure!”
Seol Ji-oh’s voice raised. Was that really something to say? Before he could say a few more words, the waiting room door opened.
Director Joo Tae-sun, Director Byeon, and the announcer serving as the MC for this production preview entered.
They were puzzled by the tense atmosphere as they came in. Seol Ji-oh, Go Hyeon-a, and Yeo-un lying down like they were fighting with each other?
“Is there… a problem?”
Director Byeon asked, and Go Hyeon-a, with a bright smile, said it was nothing and left the waiting room.
Fortunately, Yeo-un’s strength seemed to have returned as she no longer felt the suffocating difficulty in breathing. Rising from the sofa, Yeo-un smiled faintly while looking at the people.
“I’m okay. I was just surprised for a moment.”
“Hmm…”
Director Byeon looked at Yeo-un with worried eyes. Yeo-un smiled as if to assure him.
‘This place is safe. No one will harm me. So, I’m okay…’
While Yeo-un reassured herself, Seol Ji-oh, standing next to her, had a dark expression.
The coverage fervor was more intense than ever. Seeing the reporters filling the seats, Yeo-un’s lips dried up.
“Ji-oh, am I okay?”
Just before going on stage, Yeo-un hastily asked him if her hair and clothes were okay. He smiled at her question, saying that any appearance of hers would be beautiful.
After hearing the answer, Yeo-un realized she had chosen the wrong person to ask in the first place. Regardless of her appearance, he would have said she looked beautiful.
Still, she felt good.
Following that, the MC called the actors and director onto the stage, and Yeo-un moved forward with a tense expression.
Seol Ji-oh, Go Hyeon-a, Joo Tae-sun, Yeo-un, and Director Byeon Joo-ho took their seats in that order. The MC, following the predetermined sequence, first asked for brief greetings and impressions.
Seol Ji-oh was the first to express his thoughts succinctly and solemnly, then handed the microphone to Go Hyeon-a.
Just as she was about to begin speaking,
Suddenly, the venue became noisy. Phones were ringing, the sound of reporters typing grew louder, and camera flashes began to explode.
Go Hyeon-a looked at the audience with surprised eyes.
‘What on earth is happening?’
At that moment, a reporter raised their hand.
“Ms. Go Hyeon-a, what do you think about the allegations of bullying?”
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…?
