Now, she had roughly tidied up the surroundings. Even though there was nothing to hinder her departure, something seemed to continually grip her heart.
Hyun Seo took one last look at the neatly organized interior of the house before closing the front door.
She had to say goodbye to this house now. The house where she spent a long time from her childhood to before she got married.
‘When can I come back?’
Looking around, she felt like she could be captivated by the moist sentimentality.
Each and every one was a layered memory. A place where only warmth and happiness existed.
That’s why she originally intended to build happiness here with a child.
She wished for her child to share the happiness that her mother had enjoyed.
But…
With a heavy heart, Hyun Seo spoke to her baby.
“Baby, Mommy was really happy living here.”
Back then, when Do Ha would come over to play and leave, she made an effort to remember and preserve all the places where his touch was left.
There was also a time when she threw a tantrum, crying and screaming that they couldn’t change the main door to stainless steel because it had his scent.
“How wonderful it was when I first met your father in this neighborhood…”
The more Hyun Seo talked to her child, the more she found herself immersed in the past.
As if to block her troubled heart, she tightly closed her eyes.
She had treasured everything in here, but now, for the sake of the future, she had to bury all her attachments and memories into the ground.
With a firm resolution, Hyun Seo opened her eyes and firmly closed the door, blocking all those memories.
Then, she left the house forcefully, pushing a large suitcase.
In the beginning, it felt like time was brutally flowing.
He went to work, worked, and left work as usual.
To the employees, Do Ha might not have seemed any different than usual.
There were occasional brief moments when his concentration seemed to waver, as if his mind was elsewhere, but it wasn’t a change in Do Ha that others would notice.
He was still the executive Do Ha they knew.
Still neat, still good at his job, he was the crown prince befitting the genuine successor.
Although nobody knew how he spent his time after returning to his empty house in Seocho.
Others said time flew like an arrow, but for Do Ha, a day was too long.
In fact, it seemed that he was trying not to think about his wife during that time.
It would have been since a season had ripened after the divorce. Perhaps when the harsh winter had arrived.
It was a struggle every day. It felt like several years had passed, but it was only a season.
That cold winter, Do Ha realized.
In truth, he was unbearably anxious, nervous, and out of his mind. He realized there was a limit to his endurance.
In fact, he couldn’t bear it anymore.
And he gave up trying not to think about his wife. Instead, he started thinking about her.
More than ever. Much more than when they lived together.
Even though he knew how poisonous it was to him, he only thought about his wife.
The way his wife looked happy. Her smile.
The way his wife looked desperate. Her tears.
The touch of his wife leaning into him. Her sweet whispering voice. Her warm gaze.
His apartment was starkly empty. It was an apartment with no other purpose than for washing and sleeping.
There was a time when the cleaning lady had placed flowers in a vase, but he told her to remove them.
On the coffee table in the bland living room, there was only one picture frame.
It was the only picture he had brought from his family home. His wedding picture with Hyun Seo.
“Hyun Seo. It’s as you wished,” Do Ha murmured, looking at Hyun Seo in the picture.
“I’m in pain, just as you wanted. Are you satisfied?” In the picture, Hyun Seo was smiling brightly as if she had everything in the world.
She was a woman for whom marrying Do Ha was everything.
‘Did you really like a guy like me that much?’ He was the one who erased that smile. It was nobody else’s fault.
Would he really never see that smile again?
Young Suk was not enjoying her days as she used to. Somehow, each day felt dull and bland.
Her eldest son, Do Ha, had moved to Seochodong and hadn’t called, and she hardly saw Chairman Chae’s face anymore.
At least Ju Hyuk occasionally called to ask how his mother was doing, and that was her only joy now.
She didn’t want to go to her social gatherings because her pride was hurt due to the incident with the dress she wore before. Oddly enough, that foxlike Mrs. Hyun hadn’t contacted her either.
“Sigh, why can’t I sleep more than usual today?” In the past, she used to fall asleep as soon as she put her head on the pillow. But now, even falling asleep was hard, and she was considering whether she should get a prescription for sleeping pills.
It seemed like she finally fell asleep just after 11 o’clock.
[“Hey, hey, hey, what about my age. Is there an age for love. Is the heart one, is the feeling one.”] Someone was singing in the middle of the night.Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
