Yes, it was a moment to celebrate. Tae Ha had finally decided to date someone suitable for him. Starting your first relationship at twentysix was quite late.
Moreover, if Tae Ha found someone he liked, she didn’t need to stay distant anymore.
They could return to their friendly siblinglike relationship as before. Then, she didn’t necessarily have to move out, and could stay close to Su Yeon’s shop.
“Right, it’s a good thing. When Tae Ha comes back from his date later, I should congratulate him!”
She mumbled out loud on purpose, then Si Hyun stretched out lazily.
It was the first weekend after her cancelled engagement. Just the previous weekend, she had been continuously on dress tours, wedding photo shoots, she was constantly busy, but now she suddenly had a lot of free time and didn’t know what to do.
Feeling like cleaning up the place, Si Hyun put on her apron and rolled up her sleeves.
She started with cleaning the fridge. Half of the small refrigerator was occupied by leftover delivery food.
Si Hyun was quite good at cooking because she had helped the housekeeper at home since she was young, and she had to take care of Tae Ha a lot.
But being good at something and enjoying it were two different things. Since living alone, she mostly relied on instant food or deliveries.
While bagging up the old food in the trash, Si Hyun suddenly paused and thought.
‘But when did that busy person learn to cook so well?’
She had eaten his cooking a few times and his skill was impressive. Even the bibimbap that she returned without eating was beautifully prepared, which made her think that he must have learned to cook formally.
‘I should comfortably eat his cooking from now on, when he gets a girlfriend!’
While thinking this, she suddenly felt a pang in her heart.
‘Wait, but wouldn’t Tae Ha’s girlfriend dislike that?’
Even if she returned to being close siblings, it was a fact that Tae Ha had liked her for a long time. If she lived next door and even ate his cooking, it wouldn’t be impossible for his girlfriend to feel uncomfortable.
Even if I tried to switch perspectives, it would be the same. If I were in the same position, I’d be incredibly uncomfortable and displeased if my boyfriend had a close sisterlike relationship with someone else.
‘I guess it’s a relief if they don’t meet.’
Yet, as an acquaintance, Ye In seemed to have a refreshing personality, and since she knew me, she might be considerate. Thinking like that, Si Hyun couldn’t help but feel sorrowful.
Tae Ha, whom I had raised with my own hands, would it become hard to even see his face if his girlfriend dislikes me?
‘I can’t help it, after all. I can’t hinder Tae Ha’s romance.’
She tried to console herself with these thoughts, but the gloomy mood she had fallen into didn’t easily lift.
I know. A lover of only a few days can be much more precious than a longtime friend.
But aren’t Tae Ha and I in a special relationship? Even so, would Tae Ha obey if his girlfriend tells him not to meet me?
Even if logically I knew it was the right thing, I couldn’t help but feel upset.
As time passed, all sorts of thoughts began to occur to her. Before she knew it, she was even imagining their date according to the timeline.
What kind of movie might they be watching at this moment? Would it be a romance, or perhaps an action movie?
After the movie, they would surely eat together. It was their first date, where would they eat? Would it be the French restaurant that Tae Ha took me to last time?
What expression might Tae Ha be wearing now? He might seem blunt, but he’s outright affectionate towards a girl he likes. He must be taking good care of her.
The moment she thought up to that point, it felt as if something sharp was slashing across her heart.
‘Am I going crazy? Are you being jealous right now?’
Si Hyun gritted her teeth and scrubbed the sink fiercely.
How could it be this ugly? Saying all sorts of harsh things like ‘be born again’, ‘you are not a man to me’, ‘it’s bothersome, so please go to some other girl’.
What on earth am I thinking now that Tae Ha is actually dating another girl?
‘Is it that you don’t want him for yourself, but you also don’t want to give him away? Were you such a person, Kang Si Hyun?’
Until now, Tae Ha had looked at me with such a beautiful heart, is this ugly emotion all I can offer in return? He finally found a woman who suits him, and not only can I not congratulate him!
Si Hyun was consumed by selfloathing.
Even after spending the entire day cleaning to rid herself of distracting thoughts, it was already evening. Although the only thing she had eaten all day was a single piece of bread, strangely, she wasn’t hungry.
Without even having dinner, Si Hyun left the house to go to the fitness club. There was no PT class that day, but she felt that if she went and ran a bit, her disturbing thoughts would dissipate.
“Sister!”
Heading to the changing room, Ye In, who was dressed in workout clothes, cheerfully called out and ran up to Si Hyun, startling her. Si Hyun thought they would be dining together around this time.
“Weren’t you supposed to meet Tae Ha today?”
“We’ve already met.”
“But why did you split up so early? I thought you would eat together after the movie.”
“We passed on the movie and only had dinner.”
Ye In laughed as if it was amusing.
“I was so surprised because Tae Ha suddenly confessed to me, on our first date.”
For a moment, Si Hyun’s heart dropped. She had to make an effort to keep a straight face.
“Really? That’s great!”
“He looks very blunt on the outside, but he’s so romantic. Want to hear about it?”
Honestly, she didn’t want to hear. But before she could say no, Ye In grabbed Si Hyun’s wrist and took her to a bench in the corner of the fitness club.
“What did Tae Ha say then?”
With great effort, Si Hyun managed to calm her racing heart and asked.
“You know.”
Ye In murmured.
“He’s been looking at one woman since he was very young. But he’s angry because that woman has no interest in him.”
Si Hyun doubted her ears. Startled, she looked at Ye In, who was smiling triumphantly.
“So, he decided to date me in a fit of jealousy, but upon reflection, he felt it was very rude to me and apologized. So, instead of a movie, I got to eat pork belly.”
“……”
“He started exercising because of that woman. He said that she liked muscular guys in the past, so he worked out incredibly hard to build his body. But now, even if she looks at him, she doesn’t show any interest, which frustrates him.”
Si Hyun didn’t know what to do.
“Ye In, about that…….”
“He still loves that woman to death.”
With a bright smile, Ye In whispered into Si Hyun’s ear.
“I’m jealous of you, sister!”

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…?
