“It suddenly started raining in the afternoon… No, it’s raining now… I probably didn’t bring an umbrella… My wife is usually absent-minded and tends to leave it somewhere. So, just in case.”
[In case there isn’t any, I’ll bring it to you. Well, I have some spare time. And you don’t have to come all the way to my house to bring the umbrella, right? You can just come to the academy in front of your house…]“…”
With the sound of rain, Jeong Kisanim’s light laughter echoed through the handset.
[Shall I teach you?]He ran like a madman along that path.
The passing road, my foot.
He had been standing in front of it for an hour before finishing the academy, and even though it seemed like it was time to end, I didn’t see him coming out. Maybe our paths got mixed up, but I went to look for him, and because of that, I didn’t see you coming out.
If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have to get caught in the rain like this. Now I want to avoid it.
Sunwoo couldn’t take his eyes off Eunjae’s wet hair, stroking it gently.
“Since when…”
“From over there.”
Sunwoo pointed to the building across the academy with a smile.
“You probably didn’t bring an umbrella.”
“…”
“That’s your specialty.”
Sunwoo handed the umbrella to Eunjae and took off his jacket.
“How many umbrellas have you already gone through?”
“I left them at the real estate. I’ll go pick them up tomorrow.”
Sunwoo’s jacket fell around Eunjae’s shoulders.
“Where’s the next destination? 00 Cafe? Let’s go by car. I’ll give you a ride.”
“…”
“The studio is on break today. If you wait until 4 PM in front of the cafe?”
“How can you…”
While putting on the jacket, when Eunjae’s gaze seemed to wander through the air for a moment, something hot and soft touched and then quickly left Eunjae’s lips.
“Again?”
Perhaps because it had been a while, even with a short kiss, Eunjae’s cheeks turned red in an instant. Eunjae turned his head abruptly and stumbled over his words.
“Oh, were you still watching?”
“Not watching. It’s not like I’m spying on people. I just gave you a job.”
As if surprised by Eunjae’s breath, he stared at him as Eunjae looked at him closely.
“I didn’t do anything for a week. I thought you wouldn’t last a week without calling.”
“Ah… a week, right.”
“Once it passed two weeks, I almost went crazy.”
“…”
“If you had called just one day later, I would have come bursting in.”
Walking side by side, Eunjae finally burst into laughter, holding back the laughter he had restrained.
“It’s fortunate. That catastrophe was prevented.”
“Soaked like this, how are you going to do part-time work?”
“I think you didn’t hear that part. Today is a day off. In professional terms, it’s ‘off.'”
Sunwoo, watching Eunjae’s lips that were carefully selecting words, smiled softly.
“Why are you smiling?”
“Because I like it.”
“…”
“Like the old times.”
They arrived at Sunwoo’s car, which was parked nearby. Sunwoo opened the passenger door, and when Eunjae was about to get in, Sunwoo, who suddenly wrinkled his face, pointed to the eco-bag.
“What’s this bag?”
“I bought it recently. 5,000 won at the market…”
Sunwoo, sighing deeply, leaned his arm on the passenger door without lifting the umbrella and asked.
“Then what about the bag I bought for you?”
“I keep it well at home.”
“I didn’t buy it for you to keep it well.”
“As a student, it’s a bit much to carry such an expensive bag around.”
It looked like it was over a million won. Eunjae complained, and Sunwoo, looking pitiful, burst into laughter.
“600.”
“What? It’s just a handful.”
“Originally, expensive things are small and light.”
Show me the receipt? Sunwoo handed the receipt from his wallet to Eunjae.
“Exactly 6.7 million won. Paid in full.”
“You did well to keep it. How can you carry such a thing… By the way, how long do we have to stand here like this?”
Eunjae stood in the open passenger seat of the car and asked, “Where’s the key?” The scene of them conversing with umbrellas in hand, with the car right in front of them, was amusing and somewhat entertaining.
“You, where’s that key?”
Sunwoo asked, tilting his head and gesturing toward Eunjae’s necklace.
“Oh, this key.”
Eunjae crumpled his hand into his pants pocket. Whether it was because the pants were wet or the key was small, he didn’t know, but after a while, he took out the key, and Sunwoo patiently waited without any prompting.
Eunjae handed the necklace with the key to Sunwoo, who was unfolding it.
“I repaired the broken part.”
As the key necklace settled into Sunwoo’s hand, he clenched his fist meaningfully, producing a significant smile.
“Why.”
It happened in an instant.
“Huh?”
The necklace, drawing a parabola in front of their eyes, flew into a flowerbed overgrown with weeds, concealing its traces.
Eunjae looked at Sunwoo with a bewildered gaze, hoping that what he had just witnessed was a mistake.
“Now… What did you do? What if you throw that away!”
Eunjae shouted sharply as Sunwoo, with cold, piercing eyes, asked, “Why? Do you need it?”
“Well… It’s not really necessary.”
“Alright then.”
Thud. Sunwoo pushed Eunjae into the passenger seat, and as he turned the ignition, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his lips.
As soon as Sunwoo got into the car, he rummaged through the jacket pocket that Eunjae was wearing, pulling out a small medicine box.
His hands, busy separating the pills from the packaging, looked hurried.
“I thought I’d endure it a bit.”
Looking at Eunjae, Sunwoo suddenly slipped a pill into his mouth.
“What’s this?”
“Fever and pain relief.”
“Huh?”
“Can’t afford to catch a cold.”
Sunwoo, lightly pinching Eunjae’s chin with his left hand, smiled subtly. The lips that had quickly lost their laughter met Eunjae’s lips gently.
Between Eunjae’s soft strands of hair, Sunwoo’s long and straight fingers delved. The well-kept hair was thoroughly tousled by his touch.
Eunjae’s hand, wandering in the air, paused for a moment. As Sunwoo firmly gripped his shirt, lifting his chin with a mischievous smile, he wrapped both hands around Eunjae’s neck.
Like a famished beast, sucking in lips, even when softly exhaling breath with tenderness, the mind became hazy.
With each exchange of breath, the yet-to-be-swallowed pill rolled around. Sunwoo, briefly releasing his grip on the lips, firmly held Eunjae’s two hands and encircled them around his neck.
When, as if sucking in, he lightly inhaled, the yet-to-be-swallowed pill made its way down. Sunwoo, who had slightly pulled back his lips, whispered.
“Swallow.”
Without avoiding Sunwoo’s gaze even for a moment, Eunjae, holding a slightly diminished pill, swallowed it with a gulp. Sunwoo, with a satisfied smile, leaned down again, gently curling his lips on Eunjae’s.
There was a bitter taste, then a sweet fragrance. Heat gradually spread through the shivering body, and the body, already accustomed to the stages, involuntarily shrank, and the fingers tingled.
After the somewhat prolonged reunion kiss, when Eunjae slowly parted his lips, he whispered softly with a regretful tone, planting a short kiss on Sunwoo’s lips.
“We live nearby. Want to go to our place?”
“…….”
“Shall we go to my place?”
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…?
