“Isn’t it weird to have clothes that fit Yuda-jung in my house?”
This time, Dajeong scratched her neck. Upon listening, it made sense.
He once again lifted Dajeong like a child and seated her on the dressing table. Then, he began to unravel the towel from her head, wiping the moisture from her hair.
As Dajeong’s face turned red, she quickly intercepted the towel.
“Don’t do it.”
“Let me.”
“I can do it.”
“Even if Yuda-jung can do it, I’ll still do it.”
“Troubling…”
“Isn’t doing something troublesome part of being in a relationship?”
“…”
With Dajeong remaining silent, he stopped what he was doing and lowered his head, looking directly into her eyes.
“Let’s date. How about it?”
“No, that’s right.”
Dajeong agreed, smiling softly. Each moment of asking and confirming such words was embarrassing yet kept making her laugh.
As she laughed without restraint, Junghyuk’s mouth corners also relaxed upwards.
Cats entrusted to their owner’s care must feel like this. Enjoying the gentle touch, Dajeong surrendered herself to him, only breathing softly.
Then, at a moment, Dajeong’s eyes sparkled.
“Oh, right, I need to call Siwoo, but my phone…”
“Where is it?”
Junghyuk asked, looking around.
“I put it on the bedside table while coming in…”
At her words, Junghyuk pushed her elbows up. Then, Dajeong’s arms naturally wrapped around his neck.
“Hang on.”
With a firm request, he held Dajeong like a mother koala and left the powder room. As he embraced her closely, the scent of the body wash he used during the shower lingered.
Being carried like this was not bad. Even though I could walk on my own, it didn’t feel bad to be carried by the other person.
Having reached the bed, Junghyuk leaned against the bedhead while seating Dajeong on his thighs. Then, he handed her the phone from the bedside table.
“Call Yoo Siwoo.”
Once again, Dajeong’s face turned noticeably red. She keenly felt the smooth texture of the black slacks beneath her bare thighs and the subtle movement of the firm muscles beneath.
“In this state?”
“Even if it’s troublesome, do it in this state.”
Junghyuk raised his eyebrows as if asking what she heard earlier.
Hesitating, he gently nibbled on Dajeong’s arm. Startled, Dajeong looked at him with a surprised face. He acted as if threatening her to hurry, simulating a nibbling motion continuously.
Dajeong reluctantly opened the phone screen. She found Sol’s number in the contacts, pressed the call button, and put the phone to her ear.
“Mom!”
When the signal rang three times, Siwoo’s cheerful voice echoed. Apparently, Sol made Siwoo answer the phone straight away.
“Our Siwoo, did you have a good day at kindergarten?”
As Dajeong’s voice tone changed 180 degrees, laughter also appeared at the corners of Junghyuk’s mouth.
“Yeah! Siwoo had a great time at kindergarten. He listened to the teacher well and got along well with his friends!”
When Siwoo’s voice faintly echoed, Junghyuk pressed his ear to the outside of the phone. Although Dajeong signaled him to leave, he seemed unwilling to cooperate.
“What is our Siwoo doing?”
“Um… he’s playing with Auntie and Uncle at home! Playing with Auntie and Uncle.”
The uncle seems to be living in a cafe again today.
I see. While Dajeong was responding, someone seemed to have toppled the tower, and a regretful sigh and joyful laughter rang out.
“Yeah, Siwoo. Have fun with Auntie and Uncle. Mom will come to pick you up later. Be a good boy, my mom’s son. Yeah, see you later.”
After finishing the call with Siwoo, Junghyuk’s face, which had been close, moved away.
“Let me switch.”
With a challenging look, Dajeong widened her eyes.
“What are you saying and switching for?”
“Is that so?”
When I gave him a hard time, I felt sorry again. Dajeong pondered for a moment before speaking. In this regard, it seemed that she needed to ask for his understanding.
“Mr. Chae Junghyuk. It’s not immediate, but I plan to tell Siwoo soon that Mr. Chae Junghyuk is his dad.”
“Wow, I didn’t expect that.”
“But, I’m not mentally prepared yet. So, can you wait a little longer?”
“Sure. I can wait.”
She easily agreed, and Dajeong found herself speechless again. As Dajeong scratched her cheek awkwardly, Junghyuk asked this time.
“Hot chocolate?”
The tone was as if asking whether to give candy to a child. Dajeong giggled at that.
Nodding, she felt his chest pressing against her ear. The rhythmic sound of his strong heartbeat felt like a slap.
“It’s hot.”
He warned, extending the mug towards her. On a rainy day, a sip of warm hot chocolate was sweet and delightful.
While Dajeong was sipping hot chocolate, blowing on it, he asked her.
“I have something to ask.”
“What is it?”
“I told you I wanted a text.”
Dajeong rolled her eyes in thought. The memory of exchanging texts at the herbal medicine clinic came to her mind, and she nodded.
“Why didn’t you reply?”
“I was going to, but I accidentally missed the timing, so I couldn’t.”
If Jungae had not come out of the treatment room then, she probably would have replied.
“What were you going to say?”
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…?
