Pushed by Seoyoon’s hand, Kanghyun entered the shower booth and, feeling dizzy, combed through his wet hair and turned the silver lever.
Under the showerhead where cold streams poured like a waterfall, Kanghyun stood, and his mind, engulfed in a deep abyss, cleared up.
As the effects of the medication gradually subsided, his shoulders trembled spasmodically.
Kanghyun, trying to recall why Seoyoon was here and how many days had passed since they parted, hastily finished the shower and put on a gown.
Suddenly, the thought crossed his mind that Seoyoon might leave.
“Seoyoon.”
Seoyoon, who was cooking rice porridge for Kanghyun, turned her head.
Standing at the kitchen entrance, thoroughly wet, Kanghyun wiped his swollen eyes and once again confirmed Seoyoon’s presence.
“Come here.”
Suppressing a sigh that was boiling up from the bottom, Seoyoon pressed the induction cooker vigorously, adjusting the intensity. She grabbed Kanghyun’s damp hand and led him into the powder room.
Although a chill ran through his body, which had cooled down, the part where Seoyoon and his hands touched felt warm, and Kanghyun relaxed somewhat.
“I’ll do it. I just wanted to make sure you were still here.”
Seoyoon sat Kanghyun in front of the mirror, roughly towel-dried his dripping hair, and turned on the hairdryer.
Vrrrr, the hot wind and affectionate touch brushed against his ears, reddening Kanghyun’s tilted head.
Moisture from his broken tear glands dripped onto his eyelashes, and successive drops fell onto his reddish hand.
Should he go back to the bathroom and shower again?
Kanghyun, feeling ashamed of his constant crying, gnawed at the inside of his mouth.
Seoyoon inserted her finger into the tangled hair and vigorously shook the hairdryer inside.
Trying hard not to be conscious of the reddened nape and intermittently twitching shoulders, she concentrated on drying her hair.
“Change into your clothes and come out. Eat some rice porridge before going to the hospital.”
Seoyoon confirmed the completely dry hair and put down the hairdryer.
As her gentle touch that had been brushing his hair disappeared, Kanghyun, taken aback, clung to Seoyoon’s waist.
“If you’re anxious, just change into your clothes quickly and come out.”
Seoyoon easily removed the limp arms and returned to the kitchen.
Hastily, Kanghyun grabbed his clothes.
Although there might not be a need to go to the hospital, it seemed fine if he could extend the time with Seoyoon.
Having prepared cleanly as usual, Kanghyun sat in front of the Irish table.
Observing him maintaining a proper posture, Seoyoon, without showing a trace of her smile, poured the hot porridge into a bowl and placed it in front of Kanghyun.
Kanghyun, with a slightly rough palate, swallowed the porridge, which was mixed with water, down.
Watching Kanghyun continue to swallow the porridge like that, Seoyoon’s eye corners drooped weakly.
“Thank you for coming to see me.”
Kanghyun, who deliberately finished the small amount of porridge in the bowl, opened his mouth first.
“I’ll be here, so don’t go anywhere else. It would be nice if you occasionally showed your face.”
“…….”
“Since I’m not forcing you, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Kanghyun carefully observed Seoyoon’s reaction and added hesitantly.
“Do you occasionally come to show me losing my mind and dying?”
Seoyoon retorted with a rough voice.
“No one died. I was just sleeping.”
“Oppa, who sleeps like that?”
“He’s not a person.”
Sighing shortly, Seoyoon’s lips pressed tightly.
Since she had previously referred to him as a monster, she had no qualification to argue back.
“I’m scared and I hate it here.”
“What is?”
“Oppa wasn’t here that day, so you probably don’t know, but that man’s face keeps popping up. Being dragged out from the bathroom floor, almost being strangled to death. And now, oppa lying like a corpse.”
As Kanghyun, with a tearful face, stood up, Seoyoon furrowed her brows.
“Don’t kneel, just sit.”
Surprised by revealing his true feelings, Kanghyun blinked his eyes quickly and obediently sat in the chair.
“Okay, I’ll be in Seongbuk-dong. Understand it as a promise not to go far.”
“Let’s go to the house in Jeju Island. I want to rest there.”
“Sure, to the house in Jeju Island…”
Kanghyun, who did not immediately understand the meaning of Seoyoon’s words, blinked his eyes rapidly, and only his lips twitched.
“I told my parents. They were probably shocked and maybe upset.”
With a heavy face, Seoyoon recalled the last appearance of Docheol and Junghye.
“If there is no separate contact, leave Sejian in that arboretum, and tell the manager to change the nameplate and pictures. And it would be nice to change the house to two people. Also, some of the property that oppa gives me, I want to give it to my parents…”
“Yuna, are you saying you’ll live with me now?”
“Yeah.”
Drinking a sip of lukewarm water, Seoyoon nodded her head.
“If you weren’t happy living with me.”
“There were times when I was happy, and oppa cried too.”
He even cried today.
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…?
