At first, she was shocked and scared, even cried a few times. However, after several incidents, she became somewhat numb, just telling herself to snap out of it and hanging up.
What are you wearing now?
It felt like her ears were rotting. Without responding, she was about to hang up when Eunseo stopped abruptly at the sound of the man’s heavy breathing.
Haa, Yoon Eunseo. What are you wearing now?
It was because my name flowed from the pervert’s mouth.
“How did you know my name?”
Usually, such calls were made after seeing the phone number listed on leaflets and banners. But she had never written her name on them.
The fact that the pervert not only made such a call but also accurately knew and addressed her by name sent shivers down her spine.
“Who are you? Do I know you?”
Lately, you’ve been wearing black stockings continuously, huh? Ha, sexy.
Eunseo felt like her heart was about to burst. It was the truth. Since coming to this house, she had purchased various clothes and items online, and coincidentally, black stockings were on sale, so she ordered a box and had been wearing them continuously.
Do you want to do it with me too? Huh? Tell me honestly, ha.
“How did you know my name?”
She screamed, but the other party didn’t respond anymore. Instead, only filthy breathing sounds were heard.
Eunseo turned off her phone with trembling hands and covered herself with the blanket as if to catch her breath.
A little later, after a knock, the landlord’s voice followed.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s nothing.”
Eunseo tried her best to answer as nonchalantly as possible. However, Kwon Seungjoo didn’t care.
“I’m coming in.”
The door opened, and the sound of him coming in was heard. He slightly lifted the blanket so that Eunseo wouldn’t be surprised and met her eyes.
“Tell me. What happened?”
“Somebody made a sexually harassing call… But it seems like someone I know.”
Eunseo explained with great effort. No matter how hard she tried to stay calm, her whole body couldn’t help but tremble. The thought that someone was watching her from an unknown place was terrifying.
After listening to the explanation, Kwon Seungjoo nodded.
“It’s a colleague from work.”
“How do you know that?”
“You’ve been wearing black stockings since you came to this house. You said you take Secretary Choi’s car to commute, so he wouldn’t have seen you elsewhere, and considering that he knows your name, it’s someone from work.”
It seemed like a reasonable explanation.
“You probably didn’t get the phone number from the leaflet.”
Still shaking, Kwon Seungjoo patted her on the blanket.
“No need to be scared. Just report it to the police tomorrow, and they’ll catch him.”
“But I have no evidence… I couldn’t record it.”
In her surprise, Eunseo belatedly blamed herself for forgetting to press the record button.
“I’m a witness.”
He said reassuringly, but it didn’t comfort her, and various thoughts crossed her mind.
“If he’s really a colleague, what if I keep running into him in the future?”
She had received harassing calls before and reported them several times. However, the results were always suspended prosecution or at most a fine. Then, wouldn’t she have to keep seeing the person at her workplace?
“Did you forget who I am?”
He said as if waking up.
“If I catch him, I’ll make sure he can’t even breathe near you. Don’t worry.”
After saying that, he wrapped Eunseo in his arms as she sat on his lap under the blanket.
“Relax and sleep. No one will touch you.”
As she was held in his broad embrace, her surprised heart gradually settled.
If the previous Seungjoo was someone she had to protect, now it felt like she was being protected in reverse. It was a feeling she had never experienced from anyone, not even her parents.
Due to anxiety, her heart, which had been pounding as if it would jump out, suddenly began to flutter with a different meaning.
“Can’t you sleep?”
The man, unaware of her situation, sighed as he continued to pat her back for a while. Then, as if he had some idea, he suddenly turned her around.
“Get on.”
“What? Why all of a sudden?”
Kwon Seungjoo spoke as he turned her around.
“If you get on my back, you’ll sleep well.”
At those words, she remembered the time when she had come out after finishing her part-time job and slept for a long time on Seungjoo’s back. Eunseo was surprised and instinctively extended her hand.
“No, I’m not a baby!”
When Eunho was a baby, she recalled taking turns holding and carrying him all night with her mom because he wouldn’t sleep and kept crying. Even if he fell asleep, as soon as his back touched the ground, he would wake up like a ghost and burst into tears.
However, even Eunho grew out of such things after turning two, let alone Eunseo, who was twenty-seven. Moreover, she would turn twenty-eight soon.
“I’m sorry for causing concern. I’ll sleep well, so Representative, please go and rest.”
However, the man was insistent.
“Wouldn’t it be better to hold you?”
He really reached out and lifted her as if to carry a princess, startling Eunseo. She would rather be carried.
“I’ll carry you! I said I’ll carry you! Please put me down!”
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…?
