Once again, sensing that it would be complicated if the police were called for violence or disturbance, So-min, feeling perplexed, rolled her eyes.
The approaching manager looked at So-min with a stern face and then spoke to Mi-joo first.
“Are you okay?”
In the meantime, So-min quickly took out money from her bag and placed it on the table.
“Coffee cost. And the rest is a tip.”
However, the manager did not simply accept So-min’s actions. Instead, he placed a finger on So-min’s backhand that was putting down the money.
“The order is wrong. Shouldn’t an apology come first, not compensation?”
Embarrassed and flustered, So-min’s face turned red, but she couldn’t make a loud noise or escape.
“Miss, should I call the police?”
The manager, asking for Mi-joo’s opinion, received a composed expression from Mi-joo.
“It’s okay.”
So-min, who had worried that the police might be called, sighed and lowered her tense shoulders at Mi-joo’s words.
“But I should apologize for causing a disturbance.”
With that statement, So-min’s face turned pale again, but since everyone in the cafe, including the manager, was staring at her, and some were seemingly taking pictures with their phones amid the situation, she had no choice but to quietly finish the matter.
So-min couldn’t make eye contact with Mi-joo and kept glancing at her.
“Sorry.”
Mumbling an apology in Korean, So-min, as if mumbling to herself, looked at Mi-joo, and the manager checked with Mi-joo as if confirming the apology.
Mi-joo shook her head as if to say it wasn’t necessary. So-min heaved a deep sigh at Mi-joo’s response and apologized again.
“I’m sorry. I made a mistake because I got excited for a moment. Let’s just pretend it never happened.”
And while looking at the manager, she apologized again.
“I’m sorry. I might have been rude without realizing it while discussing something important. Do I need to give more?”
Forcing herself to lower her tail, So-min tried to take out money from her bag, but the manager, with a stern expression, accepted only the money on the table and shook the money as if to warn her not to boast anymore.
As the situation seemed to come to an end, another employee came and wiped the water on the table and Mi-joo’s jeans.
“Wait. Miss Ho So-min, water spilled here.”
Water was dripping onto the table from the flow on the dining table.
“But?”
Looking at the manager and the employee, So-min sent a gaze to quickly wipe it away. However, they were just looking at So-min without any intention of wiping it, as if telling her to bend down quickly.
Anticipating a protest and a possible disturbance again, So-min surprisingly surrendered, her face puffed up, took out a handkerchief from her bag, and roughly wiped the floor. Then she placed the wet handkerchief on the table.
The wet handkerchief made a crisp sound as it was thrown onto the table.
“Now it’s done.”
“It looks like an expensive item, but take the handkerchief with you. Anyway, if you leave it, it will be nothing but garbage.”
In Mi-joo’s words, there seemed to be a flash in So-min’s eyes as if rays of light were about to emerge. However, in the end, she picked up the dripping wet handkerchief and turned away, leaving abruptly.
“Don’t ever look at me like this again.”
Mi-joo’s voice stabbed into the back of So-min’s head.
Trying to appear as elegant as possible and minimizing the impact, So-min’s face, as if she could never forget the disgrace she had just suffered, looked pale. While doing so, it seemed as if she gnashed her teeth, determined to repay today’s humiliation.
‘Dare to mess with Ho So-min! Watch as I boost my combat power.’
Even after So-min left, Mi-joo sat in her seat, sipping the warm tea the manager brought. The anxiety that So-min, who still seemed spirited outside the door, was waiting for her did not seem to go away.
‘I wonder what made her follow me all the way here. She could have just asked Si-yoon.’
In the midst of regretting countless times that momentary curiosity had plunged her into hell, Mi-joo checked the time on her phone. Is Si-yoon still sleeping for a long time? Unable to call due to the time difference, she fiddled with her phone.
Not knowing how she had returned home, Mi-joo absentmindedly lay on her bed. The worn-out mattress, like Mi-joo’s heart, sank deeply into the ground.
Until the room became dark, Mi-joo crouched down and lay on her side like that.
Drrrring.
When the sound of a vibrating phone rang, Mi-joo groped around and picked up the phone.
“I miss you. Call me when you have time.”
It was a morning text from Si-yoon, who might have just woken up.
Mi-joo stared at the text for a long time, wiped her eyes, and pressed the call button. Although the bell didn’t ring several times, Si-yoon’s welcoming voice was heard.
“Miss Mi-joo.”
“Si-yoon.”
She wanted to tell him everything over the phone, but as soon as she heard his voice, Mi-joo blinked her eyes, unable to speak as if choked up with emotion.
Si-yoon, who had not yet noticed Mi-joo’s condition, greeted her happily.
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…?
