Sitting in a good position facing Namsan Mountain, they began their meal.
Leon, who scooped a spoonful of seaweed soup, exclaimed.
“Korean food is truly the best. It feels like my stomach is completely at ease.”
“Aren’t there many Korean restaurants in the United States?”
“Still, it’s not as good as eating in Korea.”
Watching his father use chopsticks perfectly for the meal, Tae-ha asked.
“How long do you plan to stay this time?”
“I’m not going back.”
“What?”
“I plan to live in Korea from now on, until I die. That’s why I took over the hotel, didn’t I?”
Although he said it with a smile, it didn’t seem like a joke. Shocked by the sudden declaration, Si-hyun was surprised, but Tae-ha, to some extent, seemed to have anticipated it and was not particularly shocked.
“What about your residence?”
“I’ll stay at the hotel for a while and look for a suitable house.”
Suddenly, Leon looked at his phone and got up.
“Sorry, I’ll make a quick call and come back.”
While Leon was away from the table, Tae-ha suddenly spoke.
“How about staying with me?”
“Huh?”
“You came to Korea because you wanted to be by my side, right? I don’t want to leave you alone in a hotel room.”
Si-hyun recalled Leon being drunk last night. For some reason, she didn’t quite understand, but he seemed incredibly tired and lonely.
“At least until you find a house, I want to be with you.”
Si-hyun readily agreed.
“Good idea!”
The relationship between the rich father and son, which had always been awkward, was always a bit pitiful. Knowing how much Leon loved his blunt son, it was even more heartbreaking.
“Our Tae-ha has grown up. He knows how to think about his father.”
After praising Tae-ha while patting his back, Leon made a belated worried face.
“Is it okay for me not to be by your side?”
“What nonsense. Do you think I’m a child? I don’t want to leave you alone in a cramped one-room apartment, worrying about you. Don’t worry and stay by my side as much as you want.”
“Still, if you suddenly miss me in the middle of the night, you can’t meet me like you can now.”
“Is that what you want? To see me?”
Although he said it teasingly, Tae-ha nodded obediently.
“I always miss you. Even when we’re together, I miss you.”
Her heart warmed. Someone who didn’t bother hiding the fact that they liked her. Someone who didn’t try to assert their pride in front of her.
Why did it take me so long to recognize you?
“Well, you can come see me anytime, even in the middle of the night. It only takes about thirty minutes by car from home to the hotel. Sir, you’ve been far away from her for a long time. How much do you think she missed you during that time?”
Si-hyun held Tae-ha’s hand and gently stroked it.
“So, don’t worry about me and just stay by the sir’s side for now, okay?”
Suddenly, Tae-ha murmured.
“Stop doing that.”
“Huh?”
“Even without doing that, I was already in love. If you make me fall more than this, what should I do?”
The moment Tae-ha gently kissed Si-hyun’s forehead, Leon returned. The two quickly separated and pretended nothing happened.
Addressing Leon sitting down, Tae-ha spoke.
“If it’s okay with you, I would like to stay with you at the hotel, sir.”
Leon looked a little surprised.
“No need to worry. I didn’t come here to burden you.”
“To be honest, I don’t have a place to go right now.”
Tae-ha said calmly.
“Recently, I had some circumstances, so I sold the house I was living in. So, until I find a new place, I’ll stay in the room where you’re staying for a while, sir.”
But Leon strongly opposed.
“If that’s the case, I’ll arrange a separate room for you, so feel free to use it as you like. It might be uncomfortable for you to stay with me, right?”
Watching them, Si-hyun felt a lump in her chest. Tae-ha decided to immigrate to Korea because he wanted to be by her side. How much did he want to stay with him? But still, maybe he’s worried that his son might feel burdened…
Perhaps it was something that shouldn’t be brought up again. The man who had always been straightforward with Si-hyun used the same approach with his father.
“I want to get closer to you, sir.”
As Leon looked at Tae-ha as if doubting his ears for a moment, a slowly happy expression appeared on his face. The face that resembled Tae-ha was incredibly beautiful, Si-hyun thought.
“Finally, our son and I will live together!”
He looked very happy. At best, he looked like Tae-ha’s big brother, but his expression was undoubtedly that of a happy father.
“Then, I’ll organize my things today and come back tomorrow.”
“Sure. If you need anything, talk to the hotel staff.”
As excited as he was, Leon tried to pick up the sliced radish several times and failed to pick it up with chopsticks. At that moment, Tae-ha silently picked up a slice of radish and put it on his father’s plate.
“Also, Si-hyun. Can you spare some time tomorrow evening?”
“Huh?”
“I want to have a date alone with a beautiful lady after a long time.”
Si-hyun glanced at him subtly. It was because she wondered if he would be jealous, but fortunately, Tae-ha seemed unaffected.
“Is it okay, Tae-ha?”
“Yes. Have a good time.”
“What? I thought you would be jealous.”
Seeing Leon’s expression, Tae-ha firmly held Si-hyun’s hand, as if to say, “She really likes me.”
“Miss Si-hyun likes me a lot.”
Si-hyun blushed and pinched Tae-ha’s thigh under the table. However, it was a muscular thigh, so ultimately, she only pinched the suit fabric.
Anyway, how annoying! In response to the two teasing each other, Leon laughed joyfully.
[Star icon]After having dinner and returning alone, Si-hyun headed to the curry restaurant. It was because she was worried about Su-yeon, who had come to make a scene the day before.
Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any major issues, as Su-yeon warmly greeted her while preparing food in the kitchen.
“Welcome back. Why didn’t Tae-ha come with you?”
“Tae-ha is busy packing.”
“Why? Is he going on a trip?”
“No, his father came from the United States. He wants to stay with his father for a while.”
“Oh my, really? How long is he planning to stay?”
“He decided to live in Korea permanently. So, until he finds a new house, I’ll be staying with him for a while.”
“How wonderful! I bet he missed his son a lot during that time.”
Su-yeon was delighted as if it were her own business.
“Oh, I see. Seeing how much Mr. Leon likes you, it brings tears to my eyes.”
For a moment, Su-yeon responded with surprise.
“What did you say?”
Si-hyun, not realizing she was repeating herself and unable to read English, continued.
“Because I’m going to live with Tae-ha, Mr. Leon is really fond of me.”
Su-yeon was silent for a while.
“Why is that, Aunt?”
Only then did Su-yeon, as if waking up from a dream, raise her head in surprise and ask again.
“Um, what’s Tae-ha’s original last name?”
“Huh? It’s Yoon. Miss Yoon. Yoon Tae-ha.”
“Not that. I mean, um, what’s his father’s last name?”
“Oh, I see.” Si-hyun chuckled. “It’s the same as an old U.S. president. What was it?”
Without realizing that Su-yeon’s face had turned pale, Si-hyun continued.
“Kennedy. Leon Francis Kennedy.”
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…?
