Chief Kang, who never gave up, was the same as always.
????????????
About 10 minutes after starting the car, Sajoon parked the car in a nearby public parking lot.
“It’s crowded again today. I really wanted to try the tteokbokki from that place at least once.”
Min Tae-hee’s casual remark, as she gazed out the window, had caused this.
To be honest, from the moment Tae-hee introduced herself as Sajoon’s girlfriend to her colleagues, Sajoon felt like he was going to fly away.
To the extent that she could act as if she were dying, according to Min Tae-hee.
So, pretending to be indifferent, Sajoon asked.
“Why didn’t you eat when it’s close to the company?”
“Are you kidding? You have to eat it with someone.”
“That junior employee seemed to get along well with you earlier.”
“We’re not close. I’m just living my social life appropriately. Don’t you know I’m more selective than you?”
It wasn’t a wrong statement. Sajoon didn’t care, and the one really picky about strangers was Min Tae-hee.
Even so, she always turned the smooth mask inside out and treated everyone kindly and considerately.
Tae-hee, who couldn’t understand, had asked her once. If living like that isn’t tiring.
In response, Tae-hee looked at her with penetrating eyes and retorted.
Do you even know that I want to live like this? Even if we’re both bastards, you and I are in different classes.
Since childhood, she said that people always whispered, cursed, and pointed fingers behind her and her mother. She hated it so much that she made efforts like a devil. Not missing the first place in the whole school, not missing the position of class president, not doing anything wrong or behaving recklessly – all to become the exemplary child that everyone envied in the neighborhood, the child who was deep, polite, and matured early. The more she didn’t show any flaws, the less the underlying murmurs became, and now, it was a habit and a defense mechanism, she said.
Such Min Tae-hee behaved in front of Sajoon just as she naturally would. Knowing Min Tae-hee’s true self and being the only one she trusts, that’s what it seemed like.
Even now, a fervent affection was newly overlapping with the hope that Min Tae-hee would continue to be like that. Still, he wished that Min Tae-hee’s heart would flutter and her heart would beat fast just by looking at him.
Like that day when they watched a movie, the fingertips of the two walking side by side seemed to touch and avoided each other at the same time.
Min Tae-hee, who tended to feel the cold a lot, had cold hands and feet even in the summer. On cold days, worried that her fingertips might feel cold, and on hot days, concerned that her hands might get cold, Sajoon wanted to hold Tae-hee’s small hands tightly and share warmth. But he couldn’t. Because the moment he held her hand, he felt like Min Tae-hee would cut him off with a knife-like gaze.
But maybe it’s okay now. Maybe Min Tae-hee, who used to be indifferent, might let him hold her hand now.
Timing his fingers to be slightly curled, Sajoon aimed for the right moment to hold her hand. To hold or not to hold. To hold or not to hold.
Once again, the fingertips of Sajoon, who was about to reach out and hold the small hand that came closer as if to touch, involuntarily curled up.
It was surprising even for himself. He never thought he would be such a timid person.
That’s how deep and cautious Sajoon’s feelings toward Min Tae-hee were.
She seemed a bit sensitive about skinship, and he might misunderstand that she thinks too lightly of herself. So, should he not hold her hand today and wait for the next opportunity? Or should he ask for permission first? Or maybe just boldly grab it.
At that moment, “Oh, really. Kang Sajoon.”
When Tae-hee, muttering nervously, suddenly stopped walking, Sajoon also stopped.
Looking down as if wondering what she was going to say, Tae-hee’s face was shining brightly under the bright light of the signboard.
When he looked closely, there was a long shadow cast under her thick eyelashes.
Even that moment, he thought it was breathtakingly beautiful.
Breathing deeply several times, Tae-hee, as if making a significant decision, moved her hands instead of her lips.
It was around that time that Sajoon’s head went numb.
“Why is he like that?” I wondered and looked down cautiously. Beneath the lowered, lush eyelashes, there was a long shadow.
It was that moment when even that seemed breathtakingly beautiful, thinking it was suffocatingly so.
Breathing audibly several times, Taehee, as if making a significant decision, moved her hands instead of her lips.
Sajoon’s mind went blank around that time.
The vivid sensation of gently holding my hand, which I had spread out defenselessly, didn’t seem like reality.
“If you’re going to hold hands, just grab them firmly,” Taehee said, and as she held Sajoon’s hand and started walking confidently again, the fragrance of determination wafted unmistakably.
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…?
