In the hallway outside the small meeting room, Woojin, who was listening to the cheerful footsteps, frowned as he sensed the unpleasant smell accompanying the sound of the door opening.
“Seol Woojin! When did you come?”
The footsteps and the cheerful voice both matched Kim Sooyoung, but what on earth is this smell?
“I found a bus that comes straight here. But it goes around a lot, right? I thought it would be good to come all at once, but it wasn’t.”
“But you’re here to pick me up.”
As Woojin spoke while holding his breath, Sooyoung sat opposite him and said, “Don’t come to our neighborhood for a while. Last time, you caused such a commotion and left… Just in case someone saw, I’ve been wearing a hat for the past few days.”
A hat? Woojin got up from his seat, turned the desk over, and reached out towards her, thinking, “Did I wear a hat?”
It wasn’t a hat, but something strange was touched at the tip of his fingers. Slightly stiff and dried fur…
“What did you do to your hair?”
Disgusted, Woojin pulled his hand away, and Sooyoung, who was sitting, answered hesitantly.
“I look really pretty today. I’m so sorry you couldn’t see Seol Woojin.”
Pretty? The feeling of touching it with his hands didn’t feel pretty at all. The smell, too.
“I got a perm. My hair is completely round like a princess now.”
The girl seemed pleased with herself, but in Woojin’s mind, the image of the grandmothers’ puffed-up hair came up.
“Why did you do that to your perfectly fine hair?”
“To look pretty.”
“For whom?”
“For whom, you ask? Seol Woojin.”
Upon hearing this, Woojin reached out with his hand, feeling his way to her and approaching her.
When Woojin came right beside her and looked down at her, Sooyoung, knowing she wouldn’t be seen, turned her head at a 45-degree angle, pretending to be pretty.
“Kim Sooyoung. If you want to look pretty to me…”
Bending down with his waist, he brought his face close to Sooyoung’s face, and the strong smell of the perm stung his nose, making it feel like a suffocating sensation.
Unable to bear it, Sooyoung, who had been preparing to kiss him, looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
While eating the lunchbox prepared by Jihyun, Woojin, who kept holding his nose, annoyed her a lot.
The hairdresser unnie said that the foreign expensive perm solution didn’t smell much, but this sensitive man not only opened all the windows on this cold day but also brought in an air purifier and turned it on, making a fuss.
It was a moment when the money earned from making the audiobook seemed so wasted.
“Seol Woojin.”
“Yeah?”
Woojin, covering his nose with his hand, lifted his head. Anyway, the fuss… Looking at him with her eyes, Sooyoung spoke as calmly as possible with her mouth.
“Seol Woojin, do you have any thoughts about doing a fan signing event or something?”
“What kind of fan signing event is it for a faceless writer? If the author’s visual impairment is revealed and sales drop, will you take responsibility?”
“Huh? In my opinion, if Seol Yong, the author, says he’s disabled, it might even be more popular?”
“People think that the author is the character in the story. You’d think the author would be neat because of the clean male lead, but say he has a disability. Readers will be disappointed. Don’t you think?”
“Seol Woojin is usually full of confidence in his appearance, but when it comes to his eyes, he suddenly becomes shy. Is this one of the symptoms of carrying something heavy?”
“Am I some shaman? What am I carrying?”
Then Sooyoung said to him in a genuinely surprised voice.
“Seol Woojin doesn’t know, huh? Seol Woojin is totally like a ghost. When he hit So Sunbae’s head with a cane last time, I was really surprised. What did he see? How did he hit his forehead so accurately?”
Woojin sighed and looked down again at the Braille information terminal.
“At that time, Seol Woojin should have seen So Sunbae’s expression. Completely shattered his self-esteem… His face was all messed up, right?”
“Stop talking about So. I don’t want to hear it.”
Once again, the blaring alarm sound echoed in Sooyoung’s mind. Since experiencing what happened when she ignored this alarm sound last time, she didn’t ignore it this time.
“I thought about it, and it would be really nice if Seol Woojin had a fan signing event at that resort. Among the guests, there are undoubtedly fans of Seol Yong, right? Then, have a special fan signing event only for those people. That way, only a few fans will see his face, and the secret will be kept, right?”
“That makes sense. This industry spreads rumors so quickly. And a fan signing event means meeting people directly. I really hate it.”
Just like when there was a cockroach at home before, he hugged his arms, and his body trembled. No, are fans cockroaches?
You could tell how uncomfortable he was just by his words, expression, and body movements, but Sooyoung continued without stopping.
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…?
