The bedroom was bathed in the dim light of dawn.
Tae Teon fell asleep later than usual due to Do Jun lying in bed shirtless.
Yet she had slept deeply in a short time.
Before the alarm rang, Tae Teon slowly lifted her eyelids.
“……”
Upon discovering something, Tae Teon covered her mouth in surprise.
“Why am I……”
What Tae Teon saw was a spectacle of apricot colors.
She had surely fallen asleep at the edge of the bed, turning her back on Do Jun. But she had no idea when she had moved this close to him.
Not only had she turned towards Do Jun, but she had also unknowingly snuggled into his arms. It seemed she had slept soundly in his embrace.
“Maybe I hugged him because it was cold at night?”
No matter how much she tried to remember, she couldn’t recall when she had begun to lean on Do Jun.
“Oh my. Why is my hand like this?”
Tae Teon hastily retrieved her hand which was resting squarely on Do Jun’s solid abs.
It was no wonder the bed felt unusually hard.
Realizing that she had been unconsciously touching Do Jun’s abs, Tae Teon gnawed on her lower lip.
When she gently lifted her head, Do Jun’s eyes were tightly shut, still seemingly in slumber.
Tae Teon exhaled a short breath.
“Thankfully, Mr. Do Jun is still sleeping.”
She gently lifted Do Jun’s arm resting on her waist.
She did this very carefully in case Do Jun might wake up.
After laying down Do Jun’s arm, she let out a sigh of relief.
And then, she quickly wriggled out of his embrace.
It was incredulous that she had slept so soundly snuggled up against Do Jun, a man who confidently claimed to have no sleeping habits.
But the fortunate thing was that she had woken up before Do Jun.
How flustered he would have been if he had seen her like this……
As she was about to get out of bed, she checked the time first. Because she woke up earlier than usual, she had some spare time.
“I should lie down a bit more.”
Then, Tae Teon stared intently at the sleeping figure of Do Jun, as if spellbound.
His unusually clear skin for a man, as well as his sharp, prominent nose, looked like they could cut something. His skin was still fluffy even though it was morning.
He was her husband, but he was really handsome.
While looking up at his defined jawline, she felt like she could get cut by his sharpness.
Usually at the company, Do Jun would be focused on his work with a furrowed brow. His eyes would then become as cold as ice.
But now, all that was left was an infinitely soft face.
While admiring Do Jun’s face, Tae Teon unknowingly reached out and touched his cheek. His warmth transferred to her, and she broke into a slight smile.
At first, she thought Do Jun was a very cold and logical person. But her evaluation of him changed a lot as they spent time together after his return to the country.
“There are many things to be thankful for……”
When she was stressed due to Jin and Tae Jin, Do Jun would always show up magically, lending his shoulder and being her strength.
That wasn’t what she had hoped for in a marriage. She just needed two years to get out of Jin’s sight.
While she was thankful for the unexpected warmth, it was inevitable that she was scared.
The expiration date of this marriage agreed upon by Jin and Tae Teon was two years.
After receiving investment from KK Group’s Cha Shin inheritance within two years, Tae Teon was free to divorce or leave Korea as she wished.
Of course, the fact that Do Jun would be in America for a long time after the marriage was also tempting.
The marriage was also for Do Jun to inherit the KK Group.
If he could solidify his position as the successor of the KK Group within the next six months, whether or not he maintained this marriage after that wouldn’t matter to him.
Jin only wanted investment through this marriage. If the investment was successful, she would be free to live without seeing Jin, Hye Suk, and Tae Jin anymore.
If Do Jun could secure the position he wanted, he wouldn’t hold her back anymore.
Thus, theoretically, divorce with Do Jun seemed very easy and was inevitable for her freedom.
When Do Jun first came to Korea, Tae Yeon wished the six months would pass quickly.
But now.
She thought it might be okay if that time passed slowly.
Her mind had changed.
Tae Yeon smiled at the thought of meeting a solid business partner.
“Now I should get ready too.”
Before Do Jun woke up, she carefully slipped out of bed, intending to get ready for work.
And then Tae Yeon headed for the bathroom on the second floor.
Memories of waking up in Do Jun’s arms caused her face to flush hotly. The sensation of touching Do Jun’s abs was still lingering on her fingertips.
“It was like a very hard rock. How could a human body be like that?”
Even during her shower, she couldn’t stop thinking about Do Jun’s face and his firm body up close, driving her nearly mad.
“It’s a good thing I woke up first.”
Assuming that Do Jun had no idea what had happened that morning, Tae Yeon comforted herself.
“Married life is not easy, but it’s not always tough.”
A faint smile played on Tae Yeon’s lips as she showered.
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…?
