‘They asked if you two are really dating. Because it doesn’t seem like it.’
‘…So they did.’
‘But why didn’t you answer and just stayed quiet? It was strange.’
And just like ordinary couples, they did not share the entirety of their day. The sentences that disturbed his focus during the stage greetings.
After much thought, Ji Ho decided not to ask Hye Yoon. If her carefully chosen choice was not to tell him, then he wanted to respect that. He felt like she wanted to resolve it bravely on her own, so he decided to leave it be.
He felt like a father watching his child do an errand for the first time. The fondness of a father secretly observing from outside the store, checking whether his child was doing well. The hesitation of his feet, ready to step in if it looked even a little hard. That was how Ji Ho was now.
Before he knew it, Ji Ho, who had parked his car in the cinema’s underground parking lot, turned off the ignition. Since he had been here several times already for stage greetings, he knew well which route was the fastest and which was the least crowded.
“Um… Ji Ho?”
“Hmm?”
However, unlike him who was about to open the car door, Hye Yoon hesitated. Her emotions were clearly visible in her voice.
“Um… shall we go up like this?”
“Yes. Why?”
“I think we should wear hats or something.”
It was because he was going to go out revealing his unhideable appearance so blatantly.
“Why would we need to?”
Speaking as if it was nothing out of the ordinary, he was no different this time. Since he said so, Hye Yoon was about to reluctantly open the car door.
“Actually, I have a hat in the back, I thought it could help to hide you.”
“Ah…”
“But it seems too much to cover…”
Ji Ho, trailing off his words, scanned all of Hye Yoon that was in sight.
Softly. Thoroughly. Savoring it.
“…because it would be a waste.”
When could she get used to him speaking in such trembling words as if they were not trembling? Hye Yoon hastily tormented her beautifully colored lips.
“Well, let’s get out!”
“Heh, yes.”
Watching her hurrying to open the door, he too opened the car door.
On the way to the elevator, and even when they got on, luckily, there were no people. However, when they arrived at the cinema floor, they had to attract the attention of a few staff members and audience.
The fortunate thing was that Hye Yoon did not feel flustered. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Ji Ho wrapped his arm around Hye Yoon’s shoulder, shielding her from outside gazes.
“We’ll be there soon.”
“…Yes.”
“Good, you’re walking well.”
“Sigh…”
He also alleviated her internal anxiety.
Of course, there were things he couldn’t shield. His strong body scent which erupted heavily as she walked as if tucked in his arms, his voice sounding so close it seemed to touch her ear, and his faint laughter while observing her minor fluster.
While he was fending off the small anxieties, a great wave of excitement hit hard.
“Wow, I didn’t know such a place existed.”
“Yeah. It’s not big, but it should be okay for two people to watch.”
“It’s really nice.”
Carrying popcorn and cola from the lounge, the two entered the private theater. A place where eight wide reclining chairs were paired up behind the screen occupying one wall.
Hye Yoon was busily looking around the place until they took off their coats and put them on the chair next to them and sat back down.
“I wonder if it’ll appear within the first 20 minutes.”
The cinema, which had not yet started the film, was so quiet that Ji Ho’s low voice was clearly heard. Moreover, it was very close.
“What do you mean?”
“The scene from the trailer. Where you were going to sob because you felt wronged.”
“Wow! When did I say I was going to cry!”
“Heh. Anyway, I’m telling you in advance. It was emotionless work.”
Ji Ho amusingly watched her change in expression. She looked so bright even in the dimly lit cinema.
It would soon snow all over the world, but it was still spring for him alone.
“Of course, it was just acting. I have a very broad mind.”
With her confident nod, Hye Yoon’s hair and gentle smile made waves. Ji Ho smiled slightly, feeling her words and all the things silently emanating from her.
“Let’s see.”
Thump
With all the lights in the cinema going out, the world on the screen began to prepare to start. For a few seconds, placed in a moment of darkness, Hye Yoon had no choice but to rely solely on her hearing.
The sound of ice in the cola from the next seat and the sound of swallowing seemed unusually loud. And soon, the movie began.
10 minutes later.
‘I wonder if she could handle those three little rice balls from earlier?’
Ji Ho alternated glances between the screen and Hye Yoon’s face, along with an amusing imagination.
Her face was literally wide open. It had been long since she ignored the angle of the comfortably tilted backrest. Her forwardleaning torso seemed like it might enter the screen if she waited a little longer.
The two fists on her thighs were clenched so tightly that the knuckles were protruding.
Ji Ho, who had been rubbing his lips with his fingers, opened his mouth. Despite rubbing several times, the smile at the corner of his lips did not fade.
“You’re not angry, are you? I heard you have a very broad mind……”
Even though she wondered how she could pretend otherwise, Hye Yoon glared at him with all her might. Then, not to miss a single scene, she turned her eyes back to the screen.
Ji Ho in the other world was sparking with a seductive woman near the office desk. Hastily taking off the jacket of his suit, roughly pulling down his necktie at a quick pace, unbuttoning his shirt. Touching her with his mouth, his hands, in between.
The trailer was at least brief.
“No, what woman would… want to see a man she’s interested in smashing desks with another woman like that!”
Ji Ho laughed loudly with his eyes fully crinkled. It was hard to hold back when she poured out all her emotions with her whole body. Seeing Hye Yoon gnawing at her lips, he felt thirsty for a moment.
As he took two sips of the cola placed next to him, Hye Yoon’s voice touched his cheek. The voice, defeated by injustice, flowed into his ears and tickled somewhere in his chest.
“No matter how broadminded a woman is, she would have been upset by this. Everyone comes to watch a movie with only happy imaginations…”
Even while speaking, Hye Yoon couldn’t take her eyes off the screen. The scenes were dramatically staged, intersecting the sight of executives heading to the office on the first floor and the heated space.
“Happy imagination? What kind?”
At the questioning voice, Hye Yoon glared at him again.
“Oh, scary.”
“Isn’t it the same for all women? Sitting next to him would make my heart flutter, or our hands might touch while eating popcorn…”
“Oh, that kind?”
The adorable sincerity in his swollen voice. Ji Ho nodded his head, showing interest, and then covered her small clenched fist with his own hand.
Startled, Hye Yoon looked down at the overlapped hands. Ji Ho naturally lowered his palm under her fist, eased the tension in her clenched hand, and interlocked his fingers.
Hye Yoon, who had swallowed her saliva, looked at him. Ji Ho was making a mischievous expression as if urging her to continue.
“And?”

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…?
