He’s not the type to lie, she knew that too well, but still, sharp pieces were swirling around in her heart. Since today was purely an embarrassing day anyway, she let go of her lips and spat out the pieces in her heart.
“Every day when you were filming, I came and waited, and also…”
“Yes. Also, what?”
Hye Yoon had to encourage herself inwardly, ‘You can do it. Hurry up!’ The more specific the question, the more she could perfectly satisfy her curiosity.
“…There are people who have seen us kiss.”
Embarrassed, she bowed her head, then looked at him, as if thinking that couldn’t be right. She hoped he would give an answer she liked as before. Clear that it was not.
“Yes. That’s correct.”
“…What?”
“It’s true that you waited, and while it wasn’t exactly a kiss, it’s true that our lips touched. But we never dated.”
“…”
“I thought someone might be watching, but it really was…”
Hye Yoon unknowingly stopped in her tracks. It seemed that she wasn’t the only one being honest with him. His unexpected answer started sharp pieces bouncing around in front of her eyes.
“…What?”
Ji Ho, who had walked a few more steps, turned back to Hye Yoon, who was standing still. As he suspected, her lips were popped out, and her face was fully scrunched up. Her outoffocus eyes looked like they had lost their way in the night alley.
He was going to go and find the way for her, but the lively woman seemed to refuse such help.
“Ji Ho, can we play the game of pouring out the grievances a little longer?”
She seemed to be saying she would find it out herself.
“Heh, really cute.”
He beckoned Hye Yoon into the apartment building with a shrug. Her small, energetic steps made a thud as she bravely approached him. Ji Ho, who seemed to be leading with slow steps, finally adjusted his pace and walked side by side with her.
“Since me waiting alone is not something you can intervene in, let’s skip that.”
And it seemed like he wanted to reward her for bravely asking. Hye Yoon quietly chewed over his words. Well, not everyone who waits is dating. It seemed like he was saying that the other party waited because they liked him alone.
“But the kiss was my choice. …Because you accepted it.”
“You accepted?”
“Um… I don’t like talking about people who aren’t here, but if I don’t, you might glare at me until tomorrow.”
“Yes!”
At her blunt response, Ji Ho chuckled. His head shook up and down so much, it seemed like he might keep glaring at her not just until tomorrow, but the day after, and even the day after that. It seemed like a dampening story that could calm down her energy, his Adam’s apple throbbed slightly.
“There was a family problem at that time that caused some issues. It was quite a fuss.”
“Ah… I know too. I think I saw it on TV.”
Taking in Ji Ho’s faint affirmation, Hye Yoon’s mind recalled the bustling atmosphere of that time. Although she didn’t usually watch dramas, this issue was seriously discussed even in the news, so she couldn’t not know.
“I thought you seemed to have a discerning eye. If you got hurt here… I wondered how much dirty gossip would follow him around. It was already overflowing at that time.”
“…”
“If there was someone else, of course it wouldn’t have happened, but there wasn’t. So, just… Rather than saying that she got rejected by a guy during all this, it seemed better to say that they seemed to like each other.”
A scattered selftalk that ‘it suits a twentyyearold girl.’
At Ji Ho’s calm tone, Hye Yoon clenched her teeth tightly. She wondered what kind of heart one must possess to embrace such a situation. Perhaps it was a deeper and more boundless embrace than what she could feel with her whole body in this night.
“But what I could do was just that. Nothing more. Ji Na would have known that.”
“Ji Ho… Do you know you’re two years younger than me?”
“Suddenly?”
Where did the confident tone from a while ago go? A quiet voice flowed into Ji Ho’s ears. As he slowly turned his head to the side, he saw that within Hye Yoon’s brown eyes, there was only him.
“Just… because you seem much more mature than me.”
Hye Yoon wished for the day when she could deeply look into that man’s eyes. The tranquility filled in his vast heart. She wanted to meet another side of him, who might be working hard to protect that silence and sometimes crying alone.
“We’re here. Building 102.”
Alternating glances between the apartment and Ji Ho, Hye Yoon announced the end of this night walk. It was a bit disappointing, but in fact, they were going to see each other again in a few hours, so it was time to say goodbye to him.
“Yes. Go, I’ll take you to the front of your house.”
“Ah…”
But having once seen him stumble, it seemed like Ji Ho would be at ease only when he saw her go inside the house. And even though she thought he would naturally feel that way, naughty feelings bubbled up in Hye Yoon’s head.
‘What’s next after going to the front of the house? Should I… invite him in? Is my house clean?’
Her small body froze for a moment, and her eyes shook. The tip of her tongue quickly moistened her lips and disappeared.
Ji Ho let out a soft laugh. That imaginative child in her head was sticking out its head nervously again. As it was late at night, he had to put that child to bed quickly.
“Don’t tempt your twoyearsyounger brother by showing him around your house for nothing. Because I’m not going in.”
“Wow, that’s ridiculous, really!”
“Chuckle. That’s why you should lead the way quickly.”
At his mischievous tone that read her mind too well, Hye Yoon responded even more vigorously and moved her steps. She felt that if she walked quickly ahead, he wouldn’t notice her cheeks turning red.

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…?
