Visible Love - Chapter 10
Soo Young glared at Woo Jin and spoke in a low voice.
“Do you know that’s sexual harassment?”
For a moment, Woo Jin’s narrowed eyes widened.
“I, I shouldn’t come here from tomorrow. Do you know how much risk I’m taking by coming here? Do you know how dangerous it is for a woman to come alone to a house where a man lives alone?”
Woo Jin’s mouth opened slightly. Does this woman think I could do something to her? What could I do?
“Sniff!”
Suddenly hearing a sniffling sound, Woo Jin hurriedly spoke in confusion.
“Sorry.”
“What are you sorry for?”
“…What?”
Ji Hyun had said before that the scariest thing when fighting with his wife was when she asked what he was sorry for.
Woo Jin’s mind suddenly went blank. What was he sorry for? For what he just said? For sexual harassment?
He had no intention of sexual harassment whatsoever. He just found her reaction amusing and was teasing a bit…
It could have been an unpleasant remark for a woman. After all, he was a man.
“Sexual harassment, I had no intention of doing that. Really. I’m sorry.”
As he apologized repeatedly, he soon bowed his head slightly and spoke in a low voice.
“So… don’t say you won’t come.”
When he heard her say she wouldn’t come from tomorrow, he felt the same fear as when the doctor said he would never see again.
Why? Who is this woman?
Seeing his pale face for the first time, Soo Young felt secretly pleased. The sniffling earlier was a masterstroke.
Did he think I was crying? It was just a runny nose… Well, men are generally weak to crying women. But did I tease him too much? He looked a bit pitiful, bowing his head stiffly.
“Seol Woo Jin.”
When she carefully called him, he slowly raised his head. His usually challenging expression had changed to look quite pitiful.
“Seol Woo Jin…”
“But…”
He suddenly opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“Yes?”
“That’s not a lie.”
“What is?”
“That the conception dream was about eggplants.”
This, this man until the end…!
If Woo Jin had seen Soo Young’s expression, he would have thought he’d get hit and avoided it. However, his expression, unable to see her face, remained serious throughout.
[This is the timeline separator]Young Soon, who came home late after working overtime, carefully opened the door, worried that the door lock sound might wake her daughter. Unexpectedly, Soo Young was asleep on the living room floor.
“Why is she sleeping so uncomfortably here instead of in her room?”
As Young Soon approached to wake her daughter, she saw a cookbook open and lying face down near her head.
5,000 won? How can you prepare a meal for 5,000 won these days? And why suddenly a cookbook? Is she trying to get a job in the food service industry?
Feeling sorry for her daughter who spent all day in the library without even dating during her prettiest 20s, saying she was preparing for employment, Young Soon squatted down and quietly looked at her daughter’s face.
She had briefly visited Young Mi for lunch yesterday. Her sister repeatedly asked if Soo Young was doing well. Her sister must be worried about her niece too.
I wish she could meet a rich man somewhere and just be a housewife without working… Just writing what she likes…
Soo Young has liked writing since she was young. She often won awards in writing competitions.
But not just anyone can become a writer, and even if she did, it’s questionable whether selling a few books would lead to financial independence.
At times like this, she felt really sorry for not being rich parents. Young Soon’s earnings were enough for her and her daughter to live on, but she had no assets to leave her daughter.
So she hoped her daughter would get a stable job rather than part-time work to make a living, but seeing her like this again made her wonder if she should have just told her to work hard at part-time jobs…
Despite her body being tired from overtime work, Young Soon couldn’t leave her daughter’s side for a long time, lost in various thoughts.
[This is the timeline separator]Woken by a clattering sound, Soo Young hurriedly checked the time. Did I fall asleep? When did Mom come home?
“Are you awake? Come eat.”
Young Soon said as she took out side dishes and placed them on the table.
“Mom, when did you come? Oh, I fell asleep after saying I’d stay awake until you came home.”
“You must be tired from studying all day, right?”
“Huh? Well, not really…”
Feeling a prick of conscience, Soo Young approached the dining table.
“Wow, the perilla leaf pickles look delicious. Did you make them, Mom?”
“Where would I have time to make these? I bought them from the side dish shop in front. But why did you buy a cookbook?”
“Oh, that’s not bought, I borrowed it from the library. I was just looking to see what dishes I could make.”
“Why? To cook for Mom?”
“Huh? Uh…”
Her voice naturally lowered because she hadn’t really thought about that.
She had looked for something she could cook lightly instead of always buying lunch, but it still seemed troublesome.
Buying food is still the best. The problem is it costs money.
[This is the timeline separator]Soo Young was standing in the elevator with a pizza in her hand.
I wonder if he likes pepperoni pizza. It was secretly thrilling to guess whether he would eat well or not the food she brought.
As she got off the elevator on the 10th floor, the front door of Woo Jin’s house opened. Thinking the CEO had come again, unexpectedly a young woman came out clicking her heels.
With a moderate height and volume, shoulder-length neat brown hair, and wearing a white two-piece suit with brown embroidery, her appearance was as luxurious and beautiful as a model in a magazine.
Soo Young unconsciously glanced down at her own outfit of a hoodie and jeans.
The woman, thinking Soo Young was a resident living next door, lightly bowed her head and got on the elevator Soo Young had just exited.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Soo Young’s and her eyes met.
Who is she? Girlfriend? He has a girlfriend? Well, it would be strange if he didn’t with that face.
A woman with a visually impaired boyfriend… She’s pretty, and seems to have a beautiful heart too.
Above all, if she’s dating him while handling that temper, she must have as much patience as the CEO.
When she opened the door lock and entered, Woo Jin was coming out of the kitchen.
He looked even more handsome than usual in a blue striped dress shirt that looked slightly big and white cotton pants. Did he dress like that because his girlfriend came?
While Soo Young changed into slippers and walked up to him, Woo Jin stood still in that spot without saying anything.
As Soo Young got closer, he suddenly made an “Ah” sound and acted like he recognized her. What? Didn’t he know it was me? Did he think his girlfriend came back? Did he… hope she would come back?
“What did you eat? What are you doing in the kitchen?”
“Come set the table. There are lots of side dishes.”
It seems his girlfriend brought side dishes. A girlfriend who even brings side dishes. She had only thought of buying food. Huh? What, what is this sense of comparison!
As Woo Jin was about to turn away from her, he turned back to face her directly. His gaze slowly moved downward and settled on the pizza in her hand.
“What did you buy?”
“I bought pizza, but we can eat the side dishes and rice.”
Woo Jin then stood silently for a while before calmly saying,
“I want to eat pizza.”
“Eat the side dishes and rice.”
“I said I want to eat pizza.”
“Seol Woo Jin, you eat the side dishes and rice! I’m going to eat all this pizza myself!”
When Soo Young suddenly yelled, Woo Jin flinched slightly and frowned.
Soo Young herself couldn’t understand why she suddenly got angry and was momentarily flustered.
“Ah, no, I mean…”
At first, she had wanted to be considerate and tell him to eat the side dishes his girlfriend brought. But seeing this anger welling up, she became confused whether it was about the side dishes or the person who brought them.
Unaware of Soo Young’s confusion, Woo Jin came to an odd conclusion.
“You must be very hungry. Okay then. You eat all that pizza yourself.”
After saying that lightly, he turned and went to his room, while Soo Young tightly gripped the pizza box, almost crushing it.
This isn’t right… Kim Soo Young, are you crazy? Why are you suddenly getting angry?
Soo Young pounded her head with her fist, scolding herself.
Meanwhile, Woo Jin, who had entered his room, was too dumbfounded to even be angry.
Every time she brought something, she said to eat it together, so he said he would eat the pizza, but why is she getting angry? Is it a pizza she particularly likes? Did she buy a small one to eat alone and got angry thinking I might take some?
She has quite a temper herself, yet always says I’m the one with the bad temper!
[This is the timeline separator]With a slice of pizza on a plate, Soo Young was now pacing back and forth in front of Woo Jin’s room door for the twentieth time.
He must know I’m in front of the door, the pizza smell must be strong, and he must be hungry too, so why isn’t he coming out! I’m sorry for getting angry. I’m sorry. But you need to come out of the room first so I can apologize!
Soo Young bumped her forehead against the door. At the same time, the door flung open and the pizza on the plate smacked right onto Woo Jin’s shirt before falling off.
“Ah…”
Soo Young looked down at his shirt covered in toppings and sauce, then at the pizza fallen on the floor.
“Wh-why did you open the door so suddenly?”
It was the pot calling the kettle black. She had been standing guard at the door to apologize for yelling earlier, but ended up making another ridiculous mistake.
As the apologies piled up, she felt irritated instead. Not at him, but at herself.
Woo Jin also scrunched up his face in response to Soo Young’s irritation and said,
“Did you just smear pizza on my clothes? Why are you always carrying food around?”
“I was going to give it to Seol Woo Jin!”
“Didn’t you say you were going to eat it alone?”
“…It’s too much. It’s a large size.”
“Then why did you say you’d eat it alone?”
“It seemed like Seol Woo Jin wanted to eat the side dishes…”
“I said I would eat the pizza.”
There was nothing to say. Moreover, the pizza had fallen in a position where it would get squished perfectly under his feet if he took just one step.
The sauce on his clothes also looked like it would drip everywhere as soon as he moved. It was urgent to clean this up before continuing any kind of argument.
“Stay right there. There’s sauce all over, okay?”
Soo Young bent down and picked up the fallen pizza onto the plate. Suddenly, something plopped down on top of her head.
A pepperoni that had been stuck to Woo Jin’s shirt had fallen onto the back of her head.
“Ew…”
Hearing her strange sound from below, Woo Jin lowered his head and asked,
“What?”
“The topping that was on Seol Woo Jin’s clothes fell on my head. Oh no, what a mess, what a mess.”
“Go take a shower.”
“What?”
“I said go take a shower.”
As he said this, he slowly started unbuttoning his shirt.
“Wh-what are you doing?”
Soo Young asked in shock as she stood up. However, Woo Jin’s expression remained calm.
“You said there’s sauce on my clothes. I need to take it off to wash it, right?”
“B-but why are you taking it off here?”
“Didn’t you say things are falling off? If I change in my room, it’ll get dirty, so I have to take it off here.”
As three buttons were undone and the shirt opened, Soo Young unconsciously gulped. However, fortunately or unfortunately, there was a thin t-shirt under the dress shirt.
“You, you had naughty thoughts again, didn’t you?”
When Woo Jin asked with narrowed eyes, Soo Young unconsciously gasped and asked back,
“M-me?”
“You held your breath again.”
“N-no, I didn’t!”
“You did.”
“I didn’t!”
When she shouted, Woo Jin smiled mischievously. He nodded as if he understood, but his smile was still suggestive, so Soo Young quickly walked, almost running, to the kitchen with the plate.
She also didn’t forget to remind him,
“I’ll bring a mop! Stay right there! The floor is covered in sauce!”
“I’ll leave my clothes here too. Take them to the dry cleaners.”
Feeling laughter at the end of his words, Soo Young secretly muttered,
“Dangerous, dangerous. But why is he wearing an undershirt when the house isn’t even cold? Tch!”
Even as she said this, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand in case he might have heard.
Meanwhile, after taking off his shirt and entering his room, he was about to take out clothes from the dressing room when he covered his mouth with his fist and giggled.
Why did he keep feeling like he could see that woman’s face? He couldn’t stand the imagination of her holding her breath and staring at him kept coming to mind.
It was just like the middle school girls who used to crowd at the school gate to see him in high school.
He thought he would never feel that kind of smug feeling again after losing his sight, but strangely, that woman made him remember those emotions again.
Making him feel not like a disabled person, but just like an ordinary Seol Woo Jin.
Woo Jin’s hand slowly traced his face. To remember his own face that was gradually fading away, he sometimes felt his face with his hands.
As his fingertips touched his straight forehead, slender facial contours, chin, lips, nose… and the long eyelashes of his eyes, he suddenly crumpled the clothes he was holding and sat down.
No matter how much he felt with his hands, it could never be the same as seeing with his eyes.
Lowering the corners of his mouth that had risen because of her, he sat crouched in the dressing room for a long time.
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…?
