“Warm.”
The sleeping space felt unusually warm and snug compared to usual. A different scent from the usual fragrance of the blanket lingered, and the firm yet smooth sensation under his hands was maintaining the optimal warmth, not too hot or too cold, like a well-heated stone. It felt very pleasant.
Continuing to explore with his hands, Gibben caressed something firm diligently. Ah, it feels good.
Warm, soft.
How immersed he must have been in that feeling.
“How long are you going to keep touching?”
A familiar voice near his ear made Riley blink abruptly. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the robust chest of a man. Only then did Riley realize that what she had been touching wasn’t a warm stone but a man’s chest, and she was startled, lifting her head.
An exquisite face, propped up by one arm, looked down at her.
“Good morning, no, is it afternoon?”
“…Gibben?”
“Yeah, it’s me.”
Why is Gibben here?
As she pondered, the events of the night flashed through her mind. Riley, who had just woken up, grimaced with a severe waist pain that felt as if it might snap. Gibben, sticking his tongue out, gently lowered Riley.
“Don’t move too much yet.”
Since the day after spending the night with him, her waist always hurt as if it might snap. Remembering if she had been intimate with him last night, Riley searched her memory while Gibben gently laid her down.
However, no matter how much she thought, the last memory she had was trying to use magic to save half. Riley lowered her gaze to check her body. Gibben was clearly visible from the waist up, wearing a gown, and she was in the same state.
While checking for any traces on their bodies, Gibben, who had been watching her, burst into laughter.
“What are you doing?”
“…Did we… do something?”
“No. I don’t have a hobby of fooling around with patients who can’t even move properly.”
“…Patient?”
“Don’t move recklessly yet; judging by the pain, it seems that some part of the broken bone hasn’t fully healed.”
Bones broken?
Ah, now that she thought about it, she remembered her body flying with a tremendous shock the moment she used magic.
Ah… it wasn’t a dream.
“…What happened?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why are you here, and why am I here…? And who’s that man?”
When Riley showed extreme caution, Gibben wrapped his arms around her neck, pulled her close, and held her in his arms.
“Calm down.”
“…”
“For now, it’s safe here.”
“…What about Half-sunbae?”
“Is that Sun’s safety so important?”
“…He seemed quite injured.”
“Yeah, he was a mess. Still, he’s safe. No problems, and a few days of rest will do him good.”
“…That’s a relief.”
Relieved by the news of Half’s safety, Riley relaxed. As she did, Gibben, who had been glaring at her dissatisfaction, asked in a grumbling manner.
“I can see you’re much better, worrying about that guy in front of me. Looks like your condition has improved a lot.”
“…?”
“A few days ago, you were only worried about me, but now it seems you’re worried about someone else?”
Ah, right. Come to think of it, Gibben wasn’t in a good condition either.
Riley sat up abruptly and placed her hand on Gibben’s forehead to check if he had a fever. Gibben, in response, chuckled as if he couldn’t believe it. Now, who is worrying about whom?
“No fever. I’m fine now, thanks to someone who took good care of me.”
“…Really? Did you, you know, save me and Half?”
“Well.”
“?”
“When I arrived, that San-nim was carrying around a beaten-up sister and guarding her.”
“…Ah.”
“If we escaped with both of them, I did the right thing.”
“But Half-sunbae said we couldn’t escape until dawn…?”
That’s probably what the rookie said.
Come to think of it, she momentarily forgot that he was a master of the Ma Tower.
If he was Yun’s apprentice, he must have shown genius talent in magic. Even if the magical creatures and magical plants in the forest constrained his magic usage, it seemed that it was not a limitation for him.
Nodding foolishly and accepting it, Riley soon realized something and was astonished.
“Or maybe he pretended to be a rookie.”
“Huh?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
“But did he use magic with that body?”
“What else could I do? Should I have let it spread there?”
“The chief physician said that wizards should refrain from using magic! No, in the first place, with a body that needs rest, why come all the way here…?”
Gibben, who was staring at the helpless Riley, tightly wrapped her hands around his.
“How could I not come.”
“…”
“How could I not come when my sister disappeared.”
Riley couldn’t say anything.
She felt uneasy about involving him in unnecessary matters. He made her come all the way here when she should have focused on recovery… and made her use magic with an already weakened body.
Feeling guilty, Riley bowed her head deeply.
“…Sorry.”
“What for.”
“Worried you.”
“…”
“I should have taken care of myself properly, but foolishly…”
“What are you saying.”
Gibben furrowed his brow.
“Look up.”
“…”
“Look at me.”
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…?
