I returned to the classroom.
For reasons unknown, the ‘Find Chunja’ contest had quieted down, allowing me to attend classes without issue.
‘It’s no good. On second thought, maintaining distance seems like the right thing to do.’
I was lost in thought during English class.
‘With this kind of tension, I’m sure to be more influenced by those crazy guys.’
Although I had decided to become closer to those kids, on reflection, it seemed wiser to clearly draw the line.
I hadn’t skipped a class yet, but at this rate, I might end up like the infamous truants, lacking enough attendance days to pass.
It’s hard to believe, but as someone who has lived as a model student all my life, I couldn’t allow such a situation.
‘But then again, I’m not going to live here forever, so why not just live recklessly? Why do I need to study?’
I had no lingering feelings about attending Seoul National University once. Perhaps this is an opportunity to pursue a new path…
‘…Should I invest in coins?’
That’s the usual rule for modern-day regressors… When was the first coin created? I’ll have to look it up later. Or wait, are there even such things as coins in this inso world?
While I was lost in these frivolous thoughts, what really mattered was what to do about the health room trio – Seong Ji-chan, Seon Woo-jin, and Seol Yu-bin.
Let’s think about each of their endings.
First, Seong Ji-chan.
He’s the male lead, so no need to worry. He will find happiness on his own. The original story ends happily anyway. So, he’s a pass.
Second, Seon Woo-jin.
His ending in the original story isn’t mentioned. But well… he’ll probably live well on his own. Nothing particularly bad seems likely to happen to him. He’s a pass too.
Lastly, Seol Yu-bin.
Yes, he’s the problem.
As mentioned before, in the original story, Seol Yu-bin is a villain who, unable to realize his unrequited love, causes a suicide uproar and disappears. This incident leads the female protagonist to come to Korea and the main story begins.
In other words, if Seol Yu-bin’s unrequited love is fulfilled, the original story wouldn’t even start.
The conclusion was the same as before.
‘Alright, let’s pair Seol Yu-bin with Seop-nam.’
Then the original story won’t start, and Seol Yu-bin will have a happy ending, completing the ‘happy ending for everyone.’ It’s perfect.
I pressed hard into my diary while writing.
〈To Do〉
Talk to Seol Yu-bin
Look up Ji Seung-hyun (sub male lead)
Pair Seol Yu-bin with Ji Seung-hyun
Wait a minute.
But if Seol Yu-bin doesn’t play the villain, what happens to Seong Ji-chan? Seol Yu-hwa won’t return to Korea.
Then how will they end up together?
‘…Does the story end without the main original couple? Is it possible there’s no ending at all?’
I suddenly felt grave.
‘What should I do about Seong Ji-chan?’
Can a male lead be considered to have a happy ending if he ends up alone?
But isn’t a solo ending a valid conclusion? One can be happy even when alone.
However, since that would fundamentally undermine the romance of the original story, I decided to aim for a couple’s ending.
A couple’s ending, huh. Then I need to help Seol Yu-hwa return to Korea and pair her with Seong Ji-chan.
‘What should be the first step? Lure Seol Yu-hwa back to Korea?’
How?
That was a tough question. Preventing Seol Yu-bin from causing trouble while bringing Seol Yu-hwa back to Korea and then pairing her with Seong Ji-chan…
‘Wait a minute.’
I suddenly realized.
Do I have to pair Seol Yu-hwa with someone? Isn’t it enough just to pair Seong Ji-chan with someone else?
Seol Yu-hwa is already the world’s number 0, so wouldn’t she be happy just by herself?
‘…Oh.’
I considered several possibilities in my mind and made a decision.
‘Alright. Let’s find another girlfriend for Seong Ji-chan.’
Then the system popped up like a popup window.
As soon as I arrived at school, I headed straight for the health room.
‘I swear, if I get close to Seol Yu-bin, I’m never coming back here.’
Despite saying this, I felt like I might end up returning anyway… Regardless, I was determined.
No longer will I be swayed by the infamous trio.
Whether that would go as planned was another matter.
As I reached the building with the health room, I paused.
“Huh?”
I looked around. I thought I heard something… but there was nothing in sight.
Could it be over there?
My gaze settled on the empty lot behind the building, the same place where Seong Ji-chan and his ex-girlfriend had their dramatic encounter.
‘Is someone else having a conversation there?’
It’s a good spot for private talks… which means it’s unlikely for many people to come here. So, the person talking behind the building is probably one of the health room regulars.
Seong Ji-chan again? Maybe. But the voice I heard didn’t sound like him. Seon Woo-jin famously claims to have no friends. That leaves Seol Yu-bin.
…Seol Yu-bin?
‘Could it really be him?’
I had never actually heard Seol Yu-bin speak properly since my arrival. I wasn’t sure if it was his voice.
Yet, it wasn’t impossible.
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…?
