Yeon’s daily life was tranquility itself.
Due to long-standing habits, waking up at five in the morning remained unchanged, and opening the morning with a cup of tea or quietly reading a book alone was the same.
She visited the swimming pool, had breakfast, and diligently cleaned the house in the afternoon. The rest of the time, she watched the news.
Just before the evening news, Woo-sik sent a message.
[Sunbae! I know you’re watching me every evening. Were you surprised by how calmly I’m doing? It’s not too late now. If you want to catch me, contact me anytime.]Yeon’s eyes, as she read the message, subtly curved. She contemplated replying but decided against it.
As he said, Woo-sik, who became the sudden decision anchor after her, did well in his role.
Proud yet jealous, it felt as if the position had always been Woo-sik’s and not hers from the beginning.
… Was Kang Sunbae also feeling like this?
She listened to Woo-sik’s announcement on the screen with her knees folded on the sofa.
Regarding the ‘unfair tax evasion’ surrounding Jang Kyung Group, the prosecution conducted a search and seizure at Chairman Jo Se-hun’s residence today. Prosecutor Son Jae-min of the Seoul branch stated in a briefing this morning that they would conduct a high-intensity investigation due to the increased public interest. Reporter Yeom Seong-han reports.
Chairman Jo faces various suspicions besides tax evasion, such as embezzlement and tax evasion.
The prosecution announced that they would soon summon him for a coercive investigation.
Chairman Jo has not been going out lately and has been staying inside his residence for several days, according to Reporter Yeom.
Beyond the tension, Jo Chairman’s figure was briefly captured beyond his residence, and, unlike the last time she saw him, shockingly, his white hair almost completely covered his face.
Yeon swallowed a dry spit.
In the end, the arrow he meticulously carved circled back and pierced right into his own heart over the years.
But now she felt a premonition of a new beginning. Chairman Jo would probably feel like he’s trapped in hell from now on, she dared to guess.
There was also a brief mention of In-young’s news at the end, but there were no particularly updated details.
Perhaps she expected In-young to live out her sentence. She thought she would feel good, but it only felt awkward, so Yeon combed through her seat and stood up.
It was a moment when she thought she should have a cup of coffee. Just then, the vibration bell rang.
An unknown number.
After coming down from the anchor’s seat, she usually didn’t answer the dozens of calls that came in every day, but this time, she felt peculiar.
Captivated by a strange feeling, Yeon unconsciously pressed the answer button.
“…Hello.”
Silence flowed. Was it a mistakenly dialed call?
About to press the end button, a sobbing, trembling sound pierced her ears.
“Who is this?”
…Mom. D-don’t hang up! Please meet me once. If you ask where this is…
Yeon’s face turned pale for a moment but quickly changed her expression.
Ah. Mom.
I had a name like that too. Yes, I did. A person called mom, I had that too.
It felt like a quiet evening crumbling.
Yeon deliberately chose bright clothes. She didn’t put on heavier makeup than usual, but she applied a brighter shade of lipstick.
She grabbed her car keys and went down to the parking lot. Reality just didn’t seem to sink in.
When she asked me to meet her, she didn’t even pretend to know me, but now the reason she was looking for herself was so obvious that she burst into laughter.
The cafe where she was supposed to meet Jung-sook was located in a quiet place outside the city, far from Seoul.
As soon as she entered, she saw Jung-sook sitting by the secluded window, bowing her head deeply.
She seemed to be squeezing her face continuously. Yeon stood in front of her with a more upright posture and confident steps than ever.
“Long time no see.”
“……. ”
“I’ll go order something.”
Yeon smoothly placed her bag on the chair and turned away. She ordered a warm chamomile tea from the cafe owner.
As soon as the tea bag in the teacup arrived, she crossed over to Jung-sook’s table with it in her hand.
With an elegant gesture, she put the tea bag in and out of the teacup repeatedly.
“We know you resent us.”
“……. ”
Yeon stopped the hand holding the tea bag and stared at Jung-sook.
Ah, do you think so?
“But, Yeon-ah, you must know that there was no other way. Your father retired back then, and he was sick, but there was no money at home. I had to feed both of you for the hospital bills right away, alone.”
Her forehead wrinkled. Yeon interrupted Jung-sook’s words in the middle.
“Enough with the old story, please say what you have to say.”
“……”
Even now, Jung-sook didn’t say sorry, and it seemed like she was just looking for excuses.
Although she realized the value of the person called Mom, who she really liked when she was young, even after decades, it was bitter to see that she hadn’t changed.
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…?
