The fact that water swished and opened with just a touch, embarrassingly, felt just like her own heart.
‘He must’ve been in a hurry this morning…….’
As if to repay his consideration, Hye Yoon gulped down the water.
“Wow, the water tastes so sweet.”
Now, her voice, regaining some clarity, sounded refreshingly crisp. And naturally, looking at the dressing table in front of her, she noticed several new towels neatly stacked.
For a moment, she wished she could show her gratitude stacked up just like that.
“Huh? What’s that?”
A small refrigerator under the dressing table had a fluorescent post-it note stuck on it. Without knowing what it was but having an idea who it might be from, she quickly walked over.
[If you eat all three meals today, open this in the evening. There’s a reward.]“Hmm…….”
The humming of a tune expressed her emotions. So happy, so curious. Amid the tranquil morning, the feelings Ji Ho left her with shone brightly, just like the midday sun.
Without realizing, Hye Yoon looked around. She briefly peeked towards the bathroom and scanned her surroundings.
‘First off, there’s no one here, so there are definitely no witnesses…….’
As she felt yesterday, Ji Ho really, really is a kind person. She decided to believe he would forgive the impatience of someone who can’t wait until the evening.
Thump[Dash]
Even though she hesitated for a good 5 minutes, she comforted herself that she tried a lot, and Hye Yoon opened the refrigerator door. Familiar water and juice seemed to be all there was. What could be the reward? She wondered if he had put in fresh water when…
A mini cup in the freezer section.
“Wow!”
The ice cream cup she ate yesterday was snugly placed in the small freezer compartment. Hye Yoon eagerly reached out. The sharp cold of the ice startled her for a moment, but as the cold became clearer, the sweet taste of last night also vividly came to mind.
As she pulled out the ice cream with a pop, great joy overwhelmed her. And when the small cup was securely in her hand, once again, familiar handwriting awaited her.
A childlike curiosity that can’t resist wonders, it felt familiar as well.
[You were supposed to wait till evening after eating all meals. Since you didn’t listen, I guess I should give you only half.]“Huh? What did you say?”
Upon seeing the post-it note flattened on the lid, Hye Yoon hastily opened the ice cream. It was truly just half-filled with chocolate flavored ice cream. Even before tasting it, she had seemingly lost half of it, yet it was packed with twice the happiness in exchange.
“Really… who is this man…”
Her slightly bitten lips curved beautifully. Some forms of happiness can be so overwhelming that it brings tears to one’s eyes, just as it was now.
Hye Yoon gently touched the two post-it notes he had left behind. Gazing fondly at each letter, she picked up the script placed beside her laptop. She affixed the post-it notes over a scene she had practiced alone the previous week.
The two pieces of paper seemed to be offering comfort for the week she had felt alone.
I wasn’t alone after all.
[Do I always leave gifts when you sleep? Contact me when you have time. I’m off today, so anytime. (8:33 AM)]She softly rubbed her suddenly teary nose and sent a message to Ji Ho. Just when she was about to close the ice cream lid and put it away to prevent it from melting,
Thud[Dash]
With a busy sound, Min Joo entered, carrying a rather large luggage bag and a small paper bag that clearly contained porridge at first glance.
“Wow, it’s Min Joo!”
“Jang Hye Yoon… What’s that in your hand? You’ve got a cold and you’re eating ice cream?”
A mix of child-like joy and adult-like reprimand, Min Joo expressed her concern. Hye Yoon had always boasted about overcoming her cold in messages, but her face told a different story. Her already pale complexion seemed even more drained.
She did sound and seem lively though. But ice cream at this hour? Min Joo approached her with swift steps.
“No, I didn’t eat it.”
“You didn’t?”
She shot glances between the half-empty ice cream and Hye Yoon.
“Really? You ate half of it this morning? This cold stuff?”
“I truly didn’t eat it…”
“Then who did?”
Hye Yoon, looking a bit sneaky, quickly closed the lid and hid the ice cream behind her. Min Joo observed her actions with disbelief.
Anyone would think she’s hiding a treasure.
“… Anyway, this is mine. I absolutely, absolutely won’t share it with anyone.”
Her voice, small yet firm, made Min Joo chuckle.
“You’re so stubborn! Just put it back in the freezer.”
“…”
Her expression was even more incredulous. The apprehension in her eyes, her lips pursed in tension. Min Joo, watching the defensive Hye Yoon, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“I won’t eat it!”
“Min Joo… I’m worried…”
Despite Min Joo’s promise, Hye Yoon couldn’t easily drop her suspicions. Unable to decide whether to put the ice cream in the freezer or to hide it somewhere, her dejected face ultimately forced a hearty laugh from Min Joo.
A little later, Min Joo had to make a slightly embarrassing pledge, “With 20 years of friendship on the line, I promise I won’t take even a bite.” She had to console the unwell Hye Yoon.
[Dash] Are you feeling better? Your voice sounds much improved.“Yes. But where did half of the ice cream go?”
Hye Yoon managed to contact Ji Ho around 3 PM. It was later than she expected, making their connection even more delightful.
[Dash] As expected. Since you already know, you must have opened it.The impatience of the curiosity champion was cutely overlooked, making her even more delighted.
“Hehe. I’ve been so happy since this morning. As soon as I opened the fridge, I completely forgot about being sick.”
[Dash] If you’ve forgotten your ailment, then I’m even happier.Hye Yoon briskly patted the comforter she was lying on. Even as she pinched and softly rubbed the pillow next to her, the excitement wouldn’t easily fade.
It was fortunate that Min Joo had gone down to the car for a moment; if she had seen this sight, how much would she have teased her? How silly must she look, grinning ear to ear alone in an empty room?
[Dash] Ah, I woke up fully because I ate half the ice cream since dawn.“Wow, really…”
Her face lit up with a smile, bright as a flower in spring. She felt more than just silly; she felt like the happiest fool in the world, and that thought brought her a bit of satisfaction.
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…?
