“Oh, I heard that rumor too. But I heard it was a Korean, not an overseas Korean?”
“I don’t know the nationality, but I know he has a very pleasant voice. That’s for sure. He’s a young man. I heard this directly from my junior, who received the call looking for Professor. He told me.”
As speculations about the unknown investor’s identity circulated, Seokdong alone blinked his eyes with a firm expression. As if mocking Seokdong’s pitiful state, one colleague poked his dry shoulder.
“Anyway, Oseokdong, as soon as people heard the rumor, the senior who used to practice in that hospital space pulled out immediately.”
“…Why?”
“Isn’t it obvious? If Professor is coming to the large dental hospital right next door, do you think people will go there and leave other dental clinics nearby? In fact, I think there’s no one in the world who can match Professor’s skills. Even at the university, they did everything to keep him from leaving.”
The next day, while hoping that the rumor was false, Seokdong, who was going to work, saw a construction notice sign that hadn’t been there until yesterday.
Reading the sign with hopeless eyes, Seokdong’s eyes lost strength as he went down. The site was planned to have a comprehensive dental ward with five above-ground floors, including a three-story underground parking lot.
Not only was it tall, but the site itself was so large that compared to Seokdong’s “Gangnam Oseokdongwonjang Dental Clinic,” if it were a neighborhood supermarket scale, “Everyone’s Dental Clinic” was like a department store.
“Who in the world with a lot of money did such a useless thing… Is he some kind of philanthropist? What should I do? If that hospital opens, our hospital…”
This is the last straw, Seokdong thought, and if the hospital he invested a lot of money in fails, he and Gwangsuni could truly become beggars.
To repay the debt, he would have to sell the apartment at a low price, and after paying off the debt, he would end up sitting on the street.
It was stifling. The future felt entirely dark, like standing at the edge of a cliff. Seokdong, who was stroking the luxury logo-emblazoned paper bag placed on his knees with a crooked mouth, felt his lips trembling.
If he sold this, he could buy the cheapest new bag from “Ervenel.”
Recently, Seokdong had found a woman on a dating app whom he really liked. They had only exchanged messages without even talking on the phone, but he could tell. It was truly a feeling.
It was an excitement he hadn’t felt in a long time. The woman’s way of speaking was incredibly cute, and she was full of aegyo.
She said she wanted to meet a man who would fulfill her dream of a romantic relationship. In this day and age, she thought of herself as an uncommon woman.
Although she said she was too busy for just one meeting, Seokdong was confident that she liked him as much as he liked her.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have told him that she couldn’t find time no matter what because of her busy schedule. But Seokdong trusted that she liked him.
In that case, he thought that if he sent money to buy an “Ervenel” bag on her birthday, she would contact him first. Then he planned to hold on tightly and not let go.
The future of dentistry and worried Gwangsuni who would scold also concerned Seokdong, but now, for Seokdong, love was more urgent. When he could confidently hand out his dental clinic director business card, the desire to quickly meet and keep a young and pretty woman by his side was overwhelming.
Thinking like that, Seokdong used all the money he had and even stole Gwangsuni’s bag.
He had found a used luxury goods store that gave good prices and came there with difficulty, but as soon as he arrived, he witnessed a woman causing a scene.
“Hey, do you know who I am?”
“Who are you?”
“I’m Jo Yuri!”
“…Whether you’re Jo Yuri or Josdeng! Get out! I’ll really call the police!”
“You dare to call the police! This is all illegal! You just stay there. I’ll call the police…”
As the woman named Jo Yuri rambled on, the door of the store suddenly opened. Three sturdy men in sky-blue uniforms rushed in, and the woman’s eyes widened even more.
“No, no! I won’t go!”
“We found you. Geez, seriously. Let’s go.”
“No, no! Uncles, I’ll give you money. Huh? How much will you give me to let me go? I’ll sell this bag and give you everything! My mom and dad are waiting for me in Switzerland. Huh?”
“Miss Jo Yuri’s parents are in prison, not in Switzerland, right? No, but why are you so stubborn? Miss Jo Yuri, you’re going to a better place.”
“No! They say it’s a small island there! Once you go in, you can’t come out! I heard it all! I won’t go! I won’t go!”
The men who introduced themselves as caregivers from a nursing home dragged the protesting woman to the floor and took her away. The store owner, Seokdong, and the onlookers had long faces as they watched the scene, and only after the commotion died down did four pairs of wide eyes meet.
“She seems crazy, doesn’t she…?”
“…It seems so. Oh, you’ve waited a long time.”
“Yes. Please evaluate this after emotions.”
Seokdong’s head, confidently placing the paper bag on the table, was even balder than a year ago. Whether the expensive hair transplant surgery failed or succeeded but was all pulled out by Gwangsuni, only he would know.
The door to the VVIP room of Kangseon Hospital opened without a knock. Startled, Director Jung followed Tae-seo, who looked tired, into the wide reception room of the VVIP room.
“Grandma…!”
As Tae-seo passed through the spacious reception room of the VVIP room, he urgently called Director Im Hong-jin, using a term that he hadn’t spoken in a long time.
After receiving a call from Dr. Huhm Park-sa, a long-time friend of his grandmother and her primary physician, Tae-seo hoped he hadn’t come too late and rushed here without stopping.
In his urgent state, he asked his sister, Jae-in, to take care of the crying babies in the parking lot and came alone to the hospital, desperately looking for the patient’s room.
“….”
Beyond the open door, Tae-seo’s eyes slowly narrowed as he confirmed Director Im Hong-jin’s appearance. The corners of his eyes, which had been lowered while he caught his breath, now closed, and his long eyelashes trembled.
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…?
