“Should we meet?”
He asked as if he had been waiting, but she couldn’t respond immediately.
After some hesitation, she managed to speak.
“Well…”
“…”
His persistent gaze seemed to expect a specific answer, a look that hinted at something.
Was he seeking permission?
Perhaps he was asking if it would be okay even if they entered into a romantic relationship, as he might not be able to devote 100% of his attention to her.
It was confusing.
She felt like she had been focusing on the wrong issue from the beginning.
So, Kang maintained her silence and eventually reluctantly uttered an answer.
“That’s your choice.”
In response, San, who had remained frozen for about three seconds, let out a belated sigh.
Then, he lowered his head and smiled as if mocking himself.
Even as I thought about it myself, I couldn’t believe what I had expected.
Not realizing that, she spoke immediately.
“But with someone you didn’t even care about…”
“I was interested.”
“…What?”
“I was curious about who you really were.”
Rather, he added, “It’s better this way.”
“I can check it now. Easily.”
Suppressing the feeling that a balloon was floating in his chest, San muttered to himself.
Regain composure. It was something that needed to be confirmed anyway, with the attitude of catching up on overdue homework.
And Kang remembered what she had said when she told him that the real name, made up of numbers, was engraved somewhere on the body of a higher-ranked mongma.
“What do you mean by ‘checking’? What’s the meaning of that?”
“What’s the meaning? Just what it sounds like.”
“…….”
“I came here because I like you, so there’s no reason to apologize.”
As San emerged like that, there was nothing more to say. He extended his hand, gently caressing her hair.
“If there’s nothing more to say, should I go?”
Kang remained silent, her gaze fixed firmly on San. He, too, kept his gaze steady, waiting.
Her face seemed to hold a multitude of words, yet her lips remained sealed. But in the end, seeing her wordless, he rose from his seat.
Letting go of unnecessary regrets was the answer.
However, seeing her wordless, he rose from his seat.
Letting go of unnecessary regrets was the answer.
He disappeared into the darkness once again.
Alone in the dimly lit living room, Kang finally parted her lips, her words coming belatedly.
“…Don’t go.”
Her whispered plea hung in the air, like a fleeting breeze.
It was already too late, but it was her only sincere sentiment.
She didn’t move from her spot, remaining there for a while.
There were words that struck her heart more than all the obscene words Jane had spoken in the elevator.
In response to her question, “Is it possible to see sincerity?” Jane had asked if it was possible to see sincerity.
‘Is it possible to see sincerity?’
Is it possible to see the sincerity of others?
It was essentially asking if one could see through the inner thoughts of others.
She had merely posed a question, but Kang felt a prick of her own arrogance.
Perhaps the sincerity of others that she had seen all along was not their inner thoughts but their attitude.
In reality, she hadn’t seen what she wanted to see but rather the image that person wanted to show.
It wasn’t an unexpected encounter; she had been in a state of misconception.
‘Live a little more amusingly.’
Jane was still Jane, but what surprised her even more was San’s response.
“I came to see you because I like you, so there’s no reason to hold back.”
It was perhaps the arrogance of thinking she understood him well.
Ignorance that had firmly believed in the possibility of the impossible.
Jane and San’s arrogance that assumed they both wanted only me.
It was the result of all these misconceptions.
Certainly, the link between the two was me, but there was no room for me to intrude into their private lives, where they had drawn a clear line.
The problem was,
“Why does this feel so frustrating?”
Turning a blind eye to it only made that matter even more irritating.
I remembered when I argued against Jane, who casually uttered awkward words, saying that San wasn’t that kind of person.
Why did I do that?
Why did I get so excited and shout as if I knew something?
“Isn’t there no reason to reject a woman who says she likes me? Well, if she’s a woman, it’s all good, right?”
I felt like I had taken a punch at Jane, who smiled and said it’s something you’ll know eventually, and my face got hot.
It felt like I had become a fool for no reason.
Kang got up from her seat and paced anxiously in the living room.
She found herself pondering once again about the reason she had to urgently call San.
Her sincerity about “Don’t go.”
It was truly a moment to reflect on her sincerity.
[Star icon] [Star icon] [Star icon]At the same moment.
San, who had returned home, stood in front of the wall pad, not tired at all, listening to the ringing intercom.
After visiting Kang’s house and leisurely getting dressed, Jane still hadn’t left and was still standing in front of the door.
He clenched his fists and stared at the screen.
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…?
