At that moment,
Inside the van that Romi and Shin-hwi were in,
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Director Park looked through the rearview mirror and asked,
“You just need to be dropped off at the company, right, Romi?”
“Yes!”
Compared to Shin-hwi, who lived in a luxury apartment in the heart of Seoul, Romi was still living in company-provided accommodation.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
Romi, who had been holding a large bag of potato chips, endlessly shoveled them into her mouth.
Shin-hwi, who had been frowning deeply in irritation, finally snapped,
“Hey.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t you know that eating in my car is prohibited?”
“I know. Just this.”
She proceeded to stuff the remaining chips from the bag into her mouth.
However, as she shook the bag upside down, crumbs dropped onto the seat and floor.
“Hey!”
Unable to hold back, Shin-hwi shouted, and Romi quickly wiped up the potato chip crumbs with a wet wipe.
“Geez, don’t be mad. You always get grumpy just with me. With others, you’re so nice.”
“…You?”
“Huh.”
“…You’re addressing someone older by three years as ‘you’?”
“Yeah, so?”
Sigh.
Shin-hwi exhaled deeply, trying to muster his last bit of patience,
“…Can you call me ‘bro’ when I’m being nice?”
At that, she playfully stuck out her tongue.
“I don’t want to.”
Nyah, nyah, nyah.
Seeing her behavior, flames flared in Shin-hwi’s eyes, and Director Park, sweating in the driver’s seat, burst out,
“Ha ha ha! Our Romi really likes her ‘bro’, huh? She must feel so close, so she keeps saying ‘you’, ha ha! Such a prankster!”
Shin-hwi, on the verge of tears, touched his forehead.
‘Let it go. Arguing will only tire me out.’
Ignoring seemed to be the best option since he couldn’t just toss out the entire car.
Then Romi, noticing the mood, spoke up,
“I can give the interior a wash, you know.”
“Do you even have the money for that?”
“Who said anything about going to a car wash? I can do it.”
“Forget it. You’ll probably scratch it.”
At that, she emphasized once more,
“No, seriously. Your car needs an interior clean. There’s this smell, not exactly rotten, but like a fart.”
“It’s your breath.”
“It’s not!”
“Wanna bet? Ever since you got in, there’s been this damp dog smell.”
At his words, Romi’s eyes bulged in rage.
Whooosh[Dash]!
Distracted by the commotion, a dangerous noise startled them, and both of their gazes simultaneously darted to the driver’s seat.
Whooosh?
Whooosh, really?
“……I’m sorry, guys.”
Director Park quietly apologized, suggesting that the rotten smell, the fart, and the damp dog smell might all have been due to him.
“Ugh! That stench!”
Romi quickly covered her nose, while Shin-hwi, who had initially looked stern, addressed Director Park with a kind smile.
“Bro.”
“Hmm?”
“Take her and get out of my car.”
That’s how Director Park and Romi were promptly evicted from the vehicle, left staring after the receding van.
Thankfully, they were near the company. Had it been in the middle of the highway, things could’ve been much worse.
“…Because of Director, I got kicked out too.”
Director Park, looking guilty, slouched his shoulders at Romi’s complaint.
“…I’m sorry, Romi.”
“Ugh! Whatever! Why do you look so down?”
As she playfully slapped his back, she raised her middle finger towards Shin-hwi’s retreating car.
“Always so irritable! Don’t you fart? Do you survive on dewdrops? I hope you scratch your car!”
Meanwhile,
Upon exiting the car, Kang reiterated as they waited for the elevator,
“You need to take a quick shower, change, and come right over. Got it?”
It was unusual for her to insist like this even after spending the whole day together.
To an outsider, it might look like a couple freshly in love.
San enjoyed this rare moment, etching it into his memory.
Whenever he wished to reminisce about today, he could pull up this memory.
Growing impatient with San’s continued silence, she said,
“I have a lot to ask today.”
Until now, she hadn’t had a proper opportunity to ask, nor had she been keen on knowing in detail.
One needs to know what to ask, but since life after he appeared was so surreal, she didn’t quite know where to start with her questions.
Ding[Dash].
The elevator reached the floor where Kang lived.
In her urgency, she grabbed San’s fingers and pulled him closer.
“You’ll come right away, got it?”
“I’ll come right away. I have a lot to say too.”
“What?”
“I have someone to introduce to you.”
“An introduction?”
As she inquired further, he gently pushed her back.
“The door is closing.”
“……”
“See you later.”
As she was pushed out and turned around, the elevator doors smoothly closed.
Through the narrowing gap of the doors, she could see San waving with a smile.
From inside the elevator, he gazed at Kang’s surprised face appearing through the closing doors.
She looked like she had a lot to say to someone who only threw out hints and left.
San remembered how Kang once joked about not having any female friends.
He also knew very well what she expected from Jane.
Over time, he had silently observed her slowly opening her heart to others.
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…?
