Yuseon struggled to swallow her tears.
“She’s watching from above. How much she would delight in both of her sons turning out so well. Thanks to Aunt’s care, our Cha husband also turned out well. Thank you very much.”
Hosik bowed his head to Yuseon.
“No, what did I do?”
“No, it’s all thanks to Aunt. Thank you very much.”
Oksoon also expressed her gratitude.
Just by looking at Yuseon’s gentle attitude toward Yun, one could see that Kanghyun grew up so well thanks to Yuseon’s love.
Kanghyun sincerely wished happiness to the joyous bride and groom marching down the Virgin Road. Yuhun’s expression, looking lovingly at Miyeong, seemed happier than ever.
“Sister, I’m scared of Mom.”
When the young Kanghyun was scared, his older brother always hugged him.
“Mom is a bit sad right now, so that’s why. So, don’t hate Mom.”
“Then when will Mom be okay?”
“If we keep hugging Mom, she will get better soon. Got it?”
“Yeah, big brother.”
Kanghyun’s eyes became red. To him, Yuhun was a guardian angel.
If suddenly the temperamental Kisun charged at them, Yuhun always hid Kanghyun behind him. Being behind his brother made Kanghyun not afraid of anything, not even the frightening mother.
At night, until Kanghyun fell asleep, Yuhun always stayed by his side. To protect his younger brother, Yuhun became an adult too early.
“Brother, be happy.”
With warm care, Kanghyun looked at Yuhun’s back full of scars and felt deeply grateful that there was someone who cherished and loved him.
As soon as the ceremony ended, Oksoon, who had recently undergone surgery, insisted that Kanghyun bring the couple in first.
Perhaps finding the wedding venue dull, Seokjun also expressed interest in going along, wanting to play with nurungji and baeksulgi. Moreover, hearing that Hosik, who is good at handcrafts, is currently making nurungji and baeksulgi at home, Seokjun found it intriguing.
Seokjun started to find a sense of emotional stability as he began psychological therapy recently. Perhaps that’s why he seemed to accept his dad’s remarriage without much difficulty.
“Can Seokjun go? Grandma, are you okay with it?”
Kanghyun asked with concern.
“Seokjun is not a baby, and he can play on his own. Besides, we’re happy to have Seokjun with us.”
While the big house felt quiet with just the two of them, Oksoon and Hosik welcomed Seokjun, reminiscent of the time when Yun was young.
“Alright, we’ll go right after it’s over.”
“You can take your time. If it’s late, Seokjun can sleep at our place.”
Seeing Seokjun frequently made Oksoon feel comfortable with him.
“Yes, thank you.”
“With so many guests, there’s nothing for you to follow. Go in quickly.”
Oksoon clapped her hands and said.
“We’ll just escort you to the car.”
Kanghyun, Cheolyeong, and Mujin guarded Oksoon and Hosik like bodyguards. People wondered if they were important guests as they glanced at Oksoon and Hosik.
After bidding farewell to the two, Kanghyun and Yun were once again surrounded by people. They were busy greeting guests on behalf of the busy bride and groom.
Especially Yun, with her graceful and neat appearance in a beautiful hanbok, perfectly played her role as the daughter-in-law of the Cha family today.
“Chairman Cha looked at both ladies very well. Both ladies are so virtuous; it’s truly enviable.”
“It’s too much. Hahaha.”
Chairman Cha laughed heartily, hiding his slight regret.
However, at that moment, Hyunseung, who had been staring at the three from a distance, started to approach them little by little.
“What a harmonious family. Envious to the point of death.”
Hyunseung smirked with a bitter smile.
Kanghyun, busy with his back turned, didn’t notice Hyunseung approaching.
Meanwhile, Hyunseung’s shadow suddenly covered Yun.
“Eek.”
Hyunseung immediately grabbed Yun and swiftly pointed a knife at her throat.
“Ah!”
“Help!”
Startled people screamed, and the wedding venue turned into chaos.
“Cha Hyunseung!”
The moment Kanghyun saw the knife against Yun’s throat, his mind went blank.
“…Put the knife down.”
To avoid provoking Hyunseung, Kanghyun lowered his voice as much as possible.
“I don’t want to.”
Hyunseung laughed grimly. His face, as white as a sheet with no blood, and the areas around his eyes turned a sickly red, making his appearance resemble that of a ghost.
“Hyunseung!”
Chairman Cha, shocked, called out to Hyunseung.
“Yes, Father. No, since I can’t call you Father, I should call you Chairman because I can’t call you Father. By the way, Seoyoon, you’re in the same situation as me. It’s unfortunate that you’re in the same situation.”
Hyunseung looked down at Yun, momentarily showing a regretful expression, then burst into laughter again. Although he was laughing, his oddly distorted face made him look no different from a madman.
Amidst the chaos, Yun’s son, Yuhun, also rushed over and was momentarily speechless at the horrifying scene before him.
“Hyu… Hyunseung, no.”
Yuhun pleaded earnestly.
“I’m already done. Is there anyone here who doesn’t know me?”
“It’s not over yet. So, Hyunseung, please, put down the knife.”
“It’s not over? That’s why, Hyunseung, please, put down the damn knife.”
Fueled by Hyunseung’s increasing excitement, Kanghyun became anxious.
It felt like Kanghyun’s blood was drying up. The distance between Kanghyun and Yun was within arm’s reach.
However, due to the knife pressed against Yun’s throat, Kanghyun couldn’t move a muscle.
‘Stay calm. There must be a way.’
At that moment, Kanghyun’s gaze caught Mujin. However, diverting his gaze to Mujin would expose him to Hyunseung.
Kanghyun’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
However, fortunately, at that moment, Mujin, who sensed Kanghyun’s intention, silently moved towards the table, trying to suppress any sound of footsteps.
“Haha! Look at the great Cha Kanghyun, he’s scared. Wow, this is amazing! This [expletive], you have no choice, huh? Kya, shaking like a leaf. Indeed, this woman was your Achilles’ heel. Heh, let’s enjoy the last good show.”
Hyunseung, who was laughing, suddenly wore a creepy expression. It seemed like he had made a decision.
Kanghyun felt his heart pounding, as if it were plummeting to the tips of his toes.
‘No.’
There’s no time.
There’s only one chance.
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…?
