Only after the writer’s reminder did the director suddenly come to his senses.
“Oh, right!”
The cameras started rolling immediately.
Incorporating all the accumulated skills and even the soul into capturing Chris, the director, on top of the roof, made a gesture toward the camera.
‘Shoot!’
While multiple cameras were filming from various angles, Chris stood in that spot for a long time, still crying.
Once he regained his composure, everyone on the set was looking at him.
“Hyung, are you okay?”
Jin-young, Chris’s close friend, came over and choked up.
“Sorry, hyung. It should have been me who went up there instead of someone like me…”
Perhaps Chris, who was eliminated, felt heartbroken watching them, the ones who were shooting the next mission. Thinking that others probably felt the same, the gaze from this side looked uniformly sympathetic.
Only then did Chris hurriedly wipe away his tears.
“That’s not it.”
However, I couldn’t tell the real reason. It’s because this house is the one I lived in when I was young.
Chris narrowly fell to 31st place. Even if he hadn’t been subjected to the devil’s editing on the broadcast he left on the day of the vote, he would have easily passed. In front of the production team, who dropped him for refusing to exploit his personal story, he didn’t want to bring up old stories now.
While he was crying, cameras were all focused on him. However, Chris didn’t even realize the fact that cameras were filming him while he was crying. He simply thought the shooting was interrupted because of a sudden gust of wind.
Feeling awkward and not wanting to burden fellow trainees preparing for an important mission, Chris thought he should leave the spot. Actually, it would be better to just go back, but he didn’t want to. He wanted to stay here a bit longer and reminisce about the memories.
“Hyung, don’t worry and do your best, Jin-young. I’ll keep watching from over there. Don’t get nervous, just do it to the best of your ability.”
After comforting Jin-young, Chris said to the youngest writer who called him.
“I’m sorry for disturbing the shooting. I’ll be in the kitchen, so don’t worry about me.”
As far as I remember, the space under the large wooden floor was the kitchen.
When I opened the door and went in, it was just like that. The interior of the kitchen was the same as my childhood memories.
Blocking the hearth hole with cement, attaching white tiles on top of it, and placing a gas stove, even the blackened wooden cabinet hanging on the wall, were the same. Even the position where the refrigerator was placed was the same. The refrigerator was white at that time, and now the one in front of me was silver, the only difference.
Sitting in the corner of the kitchen and looking at the phone, the woman who was there flinched when she saw Chris.
“……!”
She looked a few years older than him. Thinking she might be one of the staff, Chris lowered his head and politely greeted her.
“Hello.”
For some reason, she seemed to be about to say something, but hesitated and turned her head away.
‘Did they film me even for the production team I don’t know…’
For a moment, it felt bitter, but Chris quickly forgot about it. The space itself where he is now felt too magical to be thinking about such things. It felt like he had returned to his childhood.
As he stared at the refrigerator, his vision blurred again. The silver refrigerator began to look gradually white. And in front of it, the figure of a young child and, a bit taller but still a girl who couldn’t shake off her youthful appearance, appeared brightly.
[Mom secretly gives it to me. Do I have to eat it and wipe it clean?]The pretty girl said as she handed him the yogurt hidden deep in the refrigerator, decaying according to his mother.
[Yes, sister!]Chris wiped away tears. He didn’t even notice that the woman who ignored his greeting earlier was now looking at him with pity.
Lost in old memories, forgetting the passage of time, suddenly a rustling sound came from the ceiling.
“Mom!”
The woman screamed, crouching down while shouting. It seemed she thought it was some kind of rodent. Chris quickly wiped away his tears and reassured her.
“Oh, it’s the camera director.”
“What?”
“We installed cameras on the roof too.”
At the mention of not being surprised, the woman’s eyes widened even more.
“The cameraman went up? On the roof?”
“Yes.”
“That’s not allowed! The roof is already…!”
Before the woman could finish her sentence, a snapping sound was heard. Then again, snap, thud.
Perplexed by the strange noise, Chris was about to ask what it was when suddenly the woman rushed forward, pushed him down, and covered him with her body.
“Wait…!”
Chris, unexpectedly covered by the unknown woman, blushed and didn’t know what to do. Just as he was about to quickly get up.
With a tremendous roar, the world seemed to collapse, and everything went dark.
The taxi heading home didn’t move as fast as expected. It had to keep giving way because we kept encountering several fire trucks and ambulances on the way.
“Looks like a big accident happened nearby.”
Eun-seo casually replied to the taxi driver’s words.
“Yeah, seems like it. Where did the fire break out?”
She only thought about whether there were no seriously injured people. She couldn’t even imagine that it could be her own house.
As she got out of the taxi, people surrounded the front gate like a cloud. Seeing ambulances and fire trucks, anxiety finally overwhelmed her.
“What’s going on? What happened?”
After barely pushing through the crowd and entering, when Eun-seo looked at the wide-open gate, she doubted her eyes.
The roof that was perfectly fine when she left in the morning had collapsed.
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…?
