At that moment, Yeo Woon jolted upright like a meerkat, keeping a watchful eye on the door. The unidentified footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Due to the distance between the door and the bathroom, she couldn’t see who it was. The problem was that the bathroom was of an open design with no door, anyone could potentially walk in.
Flustered, Yeo Woon got up and quickly wrapped herself with a large towel lying nearby. Then she shouted.
“Wh, who is it!”
At the sound of Yeo Woon’s startled voice, the approaching footsteps came to a halt.
“… It’s me.”
A soft baritone voice. It was Seol Ji Oh.
“Ah! I’m scared. You startled me!”
In the relief of recognizing the voice, Seol Ji Oh walked towards her.
“What are you doing that…!”
As Seol Ji Oh entered the bathroom, he stopped midsentence. His lips unconsciously parted at the sight appearing through the steam.
An expression showing that he hadn’t fully realized what he was seeing.
As soon as she saw Seol Ji Oh, Yeo Woon gave a startled yelp and plunged back into the bathtub.
“Go, get out!!”
With her face peering out from the fluffy bubbles, Yeo Woon yelled loudly. Seol Ji Oh, flustered, quickly turned his back.
“Sorry! I didn’t know you were showering.”
His added voice was unusually shaky.
As Seol Ji Oh’s footsteps moved away, only then did Yeo Woon seem to calm down a bit, exhaling deeply. Thanks to the sudden intrusion of Seol Ji Oh, her heart was still pounding wildly.
He said filming would end late, so why did he come back so early? Of all the times for this to happen…!!
With a wave of embarrassment flooding over her, Yeo Woon covered her face with her hands. Her face was already as hot as the water temperature.
.

When Yeo Woon came out after her bath, Seol Ji Oh was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed. Yeo Woon stood awkwardly, unable to approach him as she was still conscious of the earlier incident.
At that moment, Seol Ji Oh, sensing Yeo Woon’s presence, opened his eyes. Turning his gaze, he spotted Yeo Woon standing a distance away and chuckled softly.
“Really, you…….”
“Huh?”
“You do it on purpose, don’t you? Trying to kill me.”
“What, what are you talking about? What did I…….”
He muttered under his breath about how he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight again, and then reached out towards Yeo Woon.
“Why are you standing there? Come here.”
Drawn by his words, she went and sat next to him. Up close, she could see fatigue in his long, deepset eyes.
Was today’s shoot particularly tough?
“Are you very tired?”
“……A little.”
Seol Ji Oh mumbled before pulling himself up to rest his head on Yeo Woon’s lap. Startled, Yeo Woon looked down at him.
She could feel his warm body heat through her thigh supporting his weight.
“Hey…….”
She called out to Seol Ji Oh, slightly embarrassed, but Seol Ji Oh had his eyes peacefully closed.
Yeo Woon, unaware of Seol Ji Oh’s sleepless night, felt a tinge of disappointment.
It’s the last night…….
However, knowing how exhausting filming can be, Yeo Woon let Seol Ji Oh be.
Instead, she decided to take the opportunity to freely observe his handsome face.
Having washed up immediately after the shoot, his face was clean without a trace of makeup, and his hair carried a pleasant fragrance.
Yeo Woon gently ran her fingers through Seol Ji Oh’s hair. She enjoyed the feeling of his soft hair slipping through her fingers.
With a faint tickling sensation, Yeo Woon smiled and turned her attention to Seol Ji Oh’s ear.
Yeo Woon had never paid proper attention to his ears, which were usually overshadowed by his distinctive and assertive features. But even Seol Ji Oh’s ears were handsome. It was quite unfair.
Yeo Woon remembered hearing somewhere that massaging your ears was good for your health, so she pressed down on his soft earlobe.
Seol Ji Oh’s brows furrowed slightly, then the corners of his mouth lifted.
Did it feel refreshing?
Feeling spontaneous, Yeo Woon decided to show off her improvised skills and inserted her hand into Seol Ji Oh’s hair.
Recalling memories of having a massage, she pressed down on his scalp with her fingertips and massaged the area around his temples. This sudden action made Seol Ji Oh burst into laughter.
“When did you learn to do this?”
“I didn’t really learn, I just did what came to mind. Does it feel good?”
“Yeah. It’s nice.”
Seol Ji Oh blinked sleepily and looked up at Yeo Woon.
“……I have another knot.”
“Where? Your shoulder?”
“Here.”
Seol Ji Oh tapped his lips with his index finger. Yeo Woon, recognizing his transparent intention, let out a sound of disbelief.
“What the…”
“Aren’t you going to massage here?”
“Dream on.”
Yeo Woon lightly flicked Seol Ji Oh’s lips with her hand. Seol Ji Oh murmured with a small smile. She didn’t fall for it.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Surprised, Yeo Woon turned to look at the door, and Seol Ji Oh spoke.
“I ordered room service.”
When Yeo Woon opened the door, a hotel staff member entered the room, pulling a cart full of various dishes.
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…?
