Hyeju was busy since the morning.
She spent more time than usual on her makeup and spent over 30 minutes choosing her outfit. It was a small change that wouldn’t be noticeable to others, but Hyeju’s face was filled with a smile as she carefully groomed herself.
After sharing a kiss with Juwon yesterday, she felt like she was floating on clouds. Even when she was still, laughter would escape her lips, and her hands and feet would tingle incessantly.
Her heart was so full that she couldn’t keep still, and she found herself pacing around and hugging her pillow, rolling around.
The symptoms worsened after arriving at the office. She would peek into the CEO’s office every minute, randomly opening and closing the company messenger window.
Even the sound of Juwon’s voice from a distance would startle her, causing her to pat her chest, a strange feeling for Hyeju.
“Is the company supposed to be this exciting?”
Certainly, when she had a crush on Seungwon, it wasn’t to this extent. She would occasionally steal glances at him, wondering if there was anything she could do for him, but her heart didn’t flutter this intensely. It was partly because they had spent a long time as friends and had become comfortable with each other, but it seemed more due to Seungwon’s slothlike personality. Since she could generally predict where he would be and what he would be doing, she didn’t have to be nervous.
In contrast, Juwon was a volcano. She never knew when the hot lava would erupt, always keeping her on guard.
It was unpredictable and unavoidable.
“So, we probably even kissed…?”
Hyeju’s cheeks flushed at the thought of the kiss with Juwon.
Looking back, it was a blissful kiss. The sound of the world was blocked out, and she only heard the friction of their lips. Just recalling that moment made her heart pound so hard.
As if dreaming, Hyeju reminisced about that time and suddenly became curious.
“But we are dating, right?”
We kissed, but he didn’t explicitly say from today we’re officially together! That made Hyeju a little uneasy. After all, wasn’t it the person who confidently said that even if we’re not in a relationship, we can still kiss and have a onenight stand!
“If we kissed, it’s a relationship, period.”
Hyeju wanted to retrieve those words she blurted out without thinking.
It was time to leave work. Hyeju packed her bag and casually passed by the CEO’s office.
“Doesn’t he leave work? I want to have a meal together… Should I contact him first? No, it feels like I’m being too clingy right from the start.”
Caught up in a serious conflict, her phone vibrated. Hyeju clenched her fist tightly when she saw the name displayed on the screen.
“Yes!”
“Who is it that you’re so happy about?”
Ruby, sitting next to her, stretched her neck and glanced at the phone.
“It’s my dad, my dad.”
Hyeju quickly put her phone in her pocket and left the office.
As she wandered around, looking for a quiet place to take the call, she spotted the emergency staircase. Hyeju quickly opened the door and entered.
“Sweetheart… huh?”
Someone had occupied the emergency staircase before her. It was Juwon, sitting with one leg stretched out, further up the stairs.
“You’re here?”
He smiled mischievously with the phone against his ear, bombarding her heart. Hyeju approached him, still bewildered.
“Why are you here?”
“I knew you’d come this way.”
Juwon stood up.
“Are you done with work? Let’s have dinner together.”
He effortlessly solved the dilemma Hyeju had been pondering all day. It felt empty to think she had been worrying for no reason, playing games of push and pull.
“What should we eat today?”
“We’ve been dating for two days, so let’s have Italian food.”
Another worry was resolved so easily. There was no need to mention the unfamiliar phrase, ‘from today we start anew.’ Hyeju admired his skill of confidently and decisively stamping an end to it.
This guy has everything planned.
“Phew, on the third day, are we having samgyeopsal? Then what about the fourth day?”
“Sajinjjajang.”
“And on the fifth day?”
“Duck baeksuk.”
“And the sixth day?”
“Yukgaejang baekban.”
“What about the seventh day?”
“Chili shrimp.”
She threw out a random question feeling embarrassed, but he accepted it gracefully. Hyeju laughed heartily and said,
“On the eighth day, it’ll be palbochae, and on the ninth day, it’ll be gujeolpan. If we eat all that, our stomachs will burst. It’s fortunate we can’t meet every day.”
“Why do you think that?”
Juwon looked at Hyeju as if she were talking nonsense.
“We’re meeting every day.”
“…Are you not busy?”
“If I have work, I’ll do it; if I have to sleep less, I will. No matter how busy I am, I have time to have a meal with Oh Hyeju.”
It felt like tiny bubbles were floating in her chest.
“Well, I don’t know if I’ll have time, but I’ll try to adjust my schedule.”
“That’s a good attitude.”
Juwon lightly patted Hyeju’s forehead as if praising her.
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…?
