Jia An, who had met her friend Seon Kyung after almost a month, slumped at the table.
Regardless of having a good job, there hadn’t been a single day of peace by Tae Kang Hyun’s side.
Especially, it had been even more so recently.
The intensity of work wasn’t a problem at all. It was him becoming increasingly affectionate that was the problem.
“What’s wrong? Why are you so down, you, who’s a secretary at a big company?”
“Each person has their own worries.”
“You earn more than me, who’s in the third year, and you’re whining!”
“Seon Kyung, did you know I’m not my parents’ biological daughter?”
Seon Kyung was the friend who had visited her during her hospitalization.
She was a high school classmate and although they were strangers at first, they had many things in common and became best friends.
Therefore, she didn’t want to hide any secrets.
“Who told you?”
“I knew it when I was young.”
“As far as I remember, around the second year of high school? You had told me. I’m not sure if it was the shock, but from then on, you changed a bit. You hung out with a bad crowd and our relationship drifted apart.”
Hearing the past she had never heard before flowing from Seon Kyung’s mouth, Jia An sat up straight.
“I couldn’t meet you after graduation until your accident. I couldn’t get in touch. Thanks to Ha Jun, I heard about you and was able to find you.”
“Did mom hide it fearing I might go astray again?”
“Did you hear it from your parents? Then how did you know?”
“You said it before. There are rumors that Tae Kang Hyun’s girlfriend died. I’m supposed to be her twin. Jang Yeon Ju gave me a nonexistent job after seeing my face.”
“What?”
“Hey, keep it down!”
When the surprised Seon Kyung screamed, all the people quietly drinking their coffee turned their attention to them at once.
“Is it, is it true?”
“I also took a genetic test a while ago.”
“Wow, unbelievable. There are things like this in the world.”
“So, you don’t know what I’ve been doing since graduating from high school.”
“That’s right.”
Seon Kyung, who had gulped down half of her iced Americano, nodded her head.
There had been a few rumors circulating among their classmates.
That she joined an entertainment agency and got a sponsor, that she met a rich married man; it was clear that these rumors arose due to Jia An’s pretty appearance.
She didn’t want to hurt her by spreading the rumors now.
“I wonder why he’s being so nice to his dead girlfriend’s twin.”
“Why, is Tae Kang Hyun, the executive director, being so nice to you?”
“He said he wanted to find a blood relative for his orphaned girlfriend, but he came across the secondary road to save me. Cars were running like crazy. Why would he do that?”
“How similar are you? Are you identical twins?”
“We’re carbon copies. Exactly the same.”
“Then there’s the answer! He sees his dead girlfriend in you.”
With a clatter, Seonkyeong clapped her hands, claiming that it felt as though she was watching a drama.
“Of course. Don’t tell anyone else. Ha Joon too.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Oh, you startled me!”
A big hand stealthily appeared from behind and grabbed Ji An’s shoulder.
Startled to the point of almost losing her heart, Ji An slapped Ha Joon’s back.
“Is it okay for a detective to threaten a citizen like this, huh?”
“I’m also going to be a citizen because it’s my day off today.”
Ha Joon, who had caught her slender wrist, sat down while stroking Ji An’s tousled hair.
“Don’t sit. It’s time for the reservation, we have to go now.”
“Then I should buy my coffee in advance. Want to be stingy?”
Fidget, fidget, Ha Joon kept playing with her long hair.
“Moon Ha Joon! My hair will fall out because of you.”
“Don’t worry, Ji An. If you become bald, I’ll take care of you.”
“Forget it.”
Watching a pair bickering back and forth every time they met, Seonkyeong, not sure if it was friends’ joke or dating, got up first.
“I have to go in. Take care at the hospital, and contact me later.”
“Okay, take care.”
“Let’s go too.”
Ha Joon, who had gulped down the remaining coffee of Ji An, disappeared saying he would get the car.
Ji An, who was tidying up the seat and getting up, took out a cell phone that was vibrating in her pocket.
—Where did you put the planning team’s documents?
“You came to work on the weekend? I put it on the Executive’s desk. Together with other documents.”
—Alright, I’ll look for it.
“Yes.”
—And the administration team’s documents too.
“Yes? I also put it together, is there nothing?”
The departmental plans, which she had sorted out by grinding her soul for a week, were certainly lined up in a row on Kang Hyun’s desk.
Even the department names were accurately written on fluorescent postits, so anyone with eyes could find them.
Nobody else would have cleaned it up.
“Ji An, we’ll be late. Let’s go.”
Ha Joon, who had left the hazard lights on in the car and returned to the cafe, draped his arm around Ji An’s shoulder.
“Ah, hold on.”
—What are you doing?
His voice, which was slightly lower than before, echoed in her ear.
“I have a counseling reservation, so I’m going to the hospital.”
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…?
