Ever since it became known that Taeha was dating, there had been various rumors circulating behind their backs.
[“Manager Kang Sihyun doesn’t even have parents?”] [“How did she manage to fix her completely ruined reputation by asking just one man?”]Hearing such comments was tiring, and Sihyun wished to take this matter with Bora to the grave, especially since it wasn’t something positive that had been revealed.
After the dinner, the team members dispersed.
Those with families went home, and those without went up to the rooms provided by the hotel. They didn’t drink to the point of being drunk, but it was an opportunity to stay for free at a luxury hotel, which didn’t come often.
“Thanks to Manager Kang Sihyun, I had a great time today. Congratulations again on your promotion.”
“Thank you, Director Lee!”
When the noisy people disappeared, Sihyun and Taeha both sighed simultaneously.
“Hey, I’ll go now too. If the uncle comes, please thank him for me.”
Looking at Taeha’s tie pin, Sihyun spoke. Since earlier, she hadn’t been able to look at his face properly. Precisely since he had publicly stated in front of everyone that he wanted to marry her.
However, Taeha took Sihyun’s hand and went to the elevator.
“Take me to my room.”
Sihyun followed him obediently. She couldn’t look at his face properly since he had spoken in front of everyone that he wanted to marry her.
Even if he was the groom, she had no interest in seeing him. Even if he was Wujin, it would have been the same.
She didn’t
“No, it’s not difficult.”
Sihyun nodded.
“I’ve thought that it might be better to think more carefully. You’re still too young to get married. There’s a lot ahead of you, and you don’t have to rush because of my age.”
“I’m rushing.”
Taeha said sadly.
“I’ve dreamed of marrying you since I was young. I’ve thought about it thousands, tens of thousands of times. How can I think more carefully than this?”
He held Sihyun’s hand tightly and spoke as if pleading.
“It’s painful to part like this every evening. I want to see your face until I fall asleep and wake up together in the morning. Am I the only one thinking that way?”
“…”
“You’ve always said you wanted to get married quickly and build a family. Why not with me?”
When Sihyun couldn’t bring herself to answer and avoided his gaze, it seemed that Taeha accepted it as a rejection. He muttered with a disappointed expression.
“…Sorry for pushing. See you at the office tomorrow.”
Seeing Taeha open the hotel room door as they descended in the elevator, Sihyun felt anxious. Words that she had swallowed inside unintentionally popped out.
“I’m the one in a hurry.”
Facing his stiffened back in surprise, Sihyun confessed.
“Yun Taeha, this is wonderful. Honestly, I’m anxious that someone better than me might appear. I’m worried that you’ll get tired of me quickly because I’m older. But it’s because I’m an adult. I can’t just act on my own desires…”
Sihyun couldn’t finish her sentence. Taeha turned away, and he kissed her.
It was the hotel corridor. Sihyun was worried about what if someone saw them, so she tried to avoid it by turning her head.
However, Taeha persistently followed her as if he would never let her go. He kissed passionately, swallowing her fleeing lips and greedily savoring the sweet honey.
“…You’re still an adult, Kang Sihyun, as lonely as ever.”
After a while, he detached his lips and whispered meaningfully in her ear.
“Come in. I’ll show you who the real adult is.”
Sihyun was startled, trying to push him away.
“This is crazy. We don’t know when the uncle will come…!”
Hugging Sihyun tightly with one arm, Taeha used the other hand to take out his phone and made a call.
“Father.”
He said to the phone, cutting off any objections.
“I’m sorry, but it would be better if you didn’t come today.”
[Star icon]Leon arrived at the store every morning before opening, and only left after finishing the cleanup in the evening. He had an incredibly diligent work ethic.
Initially, Suyeon felt uncomfortable with his presence, but after a few days, she gradually adapted. The increasing number of customers made his help necessary.
Originally, she had done everything alone, from cooking to serving and washing dishes. However, due to the overwhelming support of the market traders, the tiny store was on the verge of collapsing, and it was impossible for her to manage alone.
Wearing a suit at the hotel, he seemed like a completely different person, but when Leon worked in the store, the feeling was entirely different. Watching him wearing rubber gloves and washing dishes, it reminded her of the person she had once loved.
No, he wasn’t that person. No matter how hard she tried to think that way, her gaze inevitably turned to him.
Today was Friday, so it was busier than usual. Leon served customers tirelessly all day, and only after finishing serving and washing dishes in the evening did he leave the store with Suyeon.
With a sturdy arm that lowered the shutter, Suyeon said her farewell, deliberately turning her gaze away. Smiling, Leon subtly asked.
“You’ve worked hard today. Can I offer you a cup of coffee in your room?”
With a tone that seemed tempting, Suyeon’s heart trembled. Trying to hide her hesitation, she put on a stern face.
“Be careful on your way home.”
Turning away after cutting off the call, Suyeon heard Leon’s voice answering the phone from behind.
“Yeah, son. What’s the matter? …What did you say?”
At the word “son,” Suyeon reflexively stopped walking.
“What should I do with this?”
Leon, who quickly ended the call, muttered to himself as if talking to himself.
“It’s gotten complicated for no reason.”
For a muttered remark, it was too loud.
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…?
