It means that your heart flutters so much that it either beats loudly or thumps down heavily. It’s a term used when you feel extremely excited, cute, or fluttery, to the point where your heart flutters or thumps.
Right now, Jae Heon felt like he was going to die from this bizarrely cute sensation.
Where has he been hiding all this cuteness all this time?
The Ra Jin he had known as a secretary and as a woman seemed like completely different people.
Upon hearing the sound of Clarkson ringing from behind, Jae Heon decided to focus on driving for now.
No, I had made up my mind not to see Ra Jin until we reached our destination.
I feared that if our eyes met again and our lips locked, we wouldn’t be able to stop.
And so, the two of them shared the same thoughts, gazing in the same direction, immersed in sweet silence.
“Mom, what do I do now? Do I really have to marry that sleazy divorced guy?”
Yoo Jin clung to Suk Young, her eyes filled with tears.
“Do I have to accept a man who’s eleven years older than my daughter as my son-in-law? Especially a divorced man? No, right?”
“Oh, my poor child… What should we do…”
Suk Young held Yoo Jin and wept.
Yesterday, after Ra Jin left.
The contemplative family, their faces turning pale at Min Chan’s words, couldn’t utter a word.
“I thought I was setting up a marriage with my elder nephew… Well, nevertheless, since your daughter has such a refreshing personality, I’ll let it slide. You understand, right? You see how generous I’ve been.”
“Yes… we do…”
“Let’s set a date for now. I have everything prepared, so all Miss Yoo Jin needs to do is show up.”
“That…!”
“From the moment Miss Yoo Jin makes the decision, Director Hwang’s company will start running smoothly again. I won’t let the in-laws crumble.”
At this point, marrying Min Chan and Yoo Jin was their only way forward.
“…Thank you.”
“Dad!”
Yoo Jin cried out as if in supplication, but Young Ho looked at his daughter with determination in his eyes. He conveyed the message that speaking futile words was not allowed.
After sending Min Chan off like that, the atmosphere in the house remained somber until today.
“Dad, do I really have to marry that man?”
This time, Yoo Jin clung to Young Ho.
“Dad, I clung to your back until I entered elementary school. You always said it was a waste to let your precious Yoo Jin’s feet touch the ground.”
“…….”
“And now you’re going to sell someone like me to that guy?”
“Sa Yoo Jin, what are you saying!”
“You know it’s true! What else is this if not selling myself?”
Young-ho bowed his head deeply and muttered.
“…Right now, it’s the only option.”
Yoo Jin wrung her hands and sobbed, while Suk-young tried to console her.
“Ugh… my life is over…”
“Yoo Jin, why are you saying that? You have your mother here.”
“What will the people at the wedding say? What will my friends think when they see it? I’ve always said I’ll never get married unless it’s a handsome, wealthy man…”
Yoo Jin quivered with her shoulders, tears streaming down her face.
“Seeing me standing next to that… what will they think of me?”
“Oh, my child… my precious child…”
Looking at his wife and daughter, Young-ho let out a deep sigh.
Even in this situation, he couldn’t show tears as the head of the family.
He felt his daughter was too immature, more concerned about how others would judge her based on the appearance of her groom rather than the fact that this marriage might save their company.
However, what infuriated Young-ho even more than Yoo Jin, who was begging for mercy, was none other than Ra Jin.
She was the adopted daughter who had selfishly slipped away on her own, leaving behind this enormous bomb.
If there had been even a drop of loyalty in her, she might not have behaved so ruthlessly.
Clearly, bringing someone else’s child into the family was not the same as having your own.
While the financial problem had been resolved, the fact that Young-ho had to marry Yoo Jin off to such a man weighed heavily on his heart. It was a consequence of his own mismanagement of the company, but he couldn’t help but resent Ra Jin.
(Note: Some of the character names were not mentioned in this passage, so they were not translated.)
If I had married Ra Jin off to Chairman Jo, everything would have been perfect.
We could have saved the company, taken care of Ra Jin, and protected Yoo Jin as well.
As I thought of Min Chan, my breath caught involuntarily.
The idea of accepting such a child as a son-in-law was daunting.
“I can’t back down now.”
The two of them arrived at ST Hotel.
“We’re here. Get off.”
“Are we going to a hotel?”
“Well, something like that.”
“What if someone sees us like this?”
If rumors spread that the two of them had come to a hotel together, it would be a significant stain on Jae Heon’s previously spotless reputation.
(Note: Some of the character names were not mentioned in this passage, so they were not translated.)
I could vividly picture how his stepfather, Hoemyeong, would react.
“No one will see if we go this way.”
The place he arrived at was , the finest massage shop in the ST Hotel.
It was so exclusive that only the top 1% in each field were accepted as members, and access was strictly by reservation only. They even had a separate entrance for members to ensure privacy.
The staff, who responded immediately to even the slightest call, pretended not to see or hear anything and never opened their mouths during members’ conversations.
The advantage of , which was more famous than skilled employees who sourced the finest products from around the world, was that its secrets never leaked.
It was also the place where most meetings between celebrities and influential figures took place.
“Let’s go.”
Jaehun extended his hand, but Rajin shook her head.
“It seems risky.”
“The director of this place is the one who helped me with my insomnia treatment. He was the closest friend to my late father.”
“Ah…”
“So you can trust him. Nothing has ever leaked from here.”
He reached out his hand.
“Hurry, should I hold it? You’re not even driving.”
She hesitated, then slowly raised her hand.
Jaehun, with a sly smile, grabbed Rajin’s hand and squeezed her fingers.
“I finally caught you.”
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…?
