The captured wrist throbbed. The place Taekyu wordlessly dragged Nalim to was a relatively secluded corridor in the hospital.
Actually, the pain wasn’t much of a concern. It’s because he didn’t know what he remembered and what he might say, making his heart uneasy.
Taekyu, who had walked to the dead-end corridor, forcefully opened the iron door at the end of the corridor, which was an emergency exit.
“Ah, it hurts. Let go of this.”
With a clang, as the door closed, Taekyu released Nalim’s wrist. The emergency exit engulfed them in silence. Taekyu, who had been looking down at Nalim, took a deep breath and spoke.
“Why didn’t you say anything?”
“What, what?”
His eyes, sinking low like thick fog, felt like a stab to the chest.
Nalim knew Taekyu’s two faces well.
Yoon Taekyu, unlike the director’s grandson, is an earnest and promising doctor who doesn’t shy away from trouble and is sweet and sociable, receiving admiration not only from medical professionals but also from patients.
And he is a ruthless Taekyu who is cold, sharp, and unabashedly hurtful to anyone who enters his space without permission.
Perhaps it was the fault of the feelings she had already revealed. The Yoon Taekyu standing in front of her is no longer affectionate. Nalim tightly sealed her lips at Taekyu’s cold words.
It was unnecessary meddling.
Even if she wasn’t taking him with her, even if their relationship was good or bad, she should have called Professor Yoon and informed him. Even if she brought him to a hotel, she should have somehow regained her composure and gone home.
The more she thought about it, the more regret and sighs filled her.
She was also disappointed in his appearance the next day, not remembering anything. It wasn’t an action taken with an expectation of payment, but if it wasn’t upsetting, it would be a lie.
I brought you to the hotel without even touching a finger on you sleeping on the street! Instead of being grateful, you could at least not complain.
Ah…
Come to think of it, I probably wrapped my hands around his waist to support him, leaned my head on his arm, and in the end, on his chest…
I did actions that could be misunderstood.
If asked why a nurse on the street was relevant or why I took her to a hotel, I probably wouldn’t have a real answer.
It would have been better not to remember.
Thinking this, Nalim burst into laughter. It would have been better not to remember now. Truly fickle, she thought, smiling self-deprecatingly.
“Ha… What’s your alcohol tolerance, at what point does the film cut off, why did I suddenly ask that, I wondered.”
Taekyu, who kept wiping his face with his large hand, looked at Nalim, who was keeping her mouth shut, and sighed deeply again.
“Don’t just sit there quietly. Tell me. What happened.”
“I remembered everything, and you brought me here without my consent, Professor Yoon.”
“I’ll be honest. Drinking alone at the street stall is all I remember.”
Taekyu scratched his forehead and roughly swept his hair back. It was a struggle for him to continue speaking as he stroked his lips.
“But if what I saw is correct, it seems like that person is this nurse.”
His deep sigh followed again.
“The back view of the woman I saw just before leaving the hotel, her brown hair! It looked exactly like this nurse.”
As Taekyu kept getting angry, Nalim’s mood worsened. It was a situation ripe for misunderstanding, and she had intended to reassure him that there was nothing to worry about, but…
“Why? Do you want to say it’s not her?”
Nalim, annoyed by his attitude, didn’t want to explain anymore.
“No? Isn’t it her? You said you saw her. After cowardly running away, why are you saying this now?”
He must be crazy. Taekyu Yoon, this insane guy.
To Nalim’s response, Taekyu touched his forehead and closed his eyes tightly.
“This was my first time in such a situation, and I was confused. I wasn’t trying to run away.”
“…….”
“It’s a very personal matter, but I’ve been going through some difficult times lately. So, I think I drank excessively that day. I wasn’t in my right mind at all.”
The scattered clothes, whether hers, Nalim’s, or the evidence of that day, were so clear, but hearing him desperately wanting to hear a denial, acting like someone determined to be misunderstood, now seemed ridiculous.
“It was a mistake. I’m really sorry for what happened that day.”
Nalim bit her lip at Taekyu’s apology. It was something that required tremendous courage from her perspective, but he casually called it a mistake and tried to cover it up, which she found despicable.
Even now, she wanted to say that nothing happened, to clear up the misunderstanding. However, she couldn’t bring herself to speak.
“That’s separate from that. My feelings for Professor Yoon.”
“I hope it wasn’t.”
“Why? We already slept together once, didn’t we?”
No, she had a bad thought, hoping that he would continue to misunderstand. Maybe then he would look at her with a little more kindness.
“Na Nalim!”
“You don’t need to apologize.”
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…?
