Apparently in a hurry, even within the large revolving door, her steps occasionally faltered. Passing through the revolving door, Da-jeong leaped into the broad back of the man.
With a small jolt as she pounced on his back, for a moment, it seemed like he might stumble. However, he chuckled, seemingly unfazed. Then, he gently wrapped his hand around Da-jeong’s hand that gripped his waist.
Smirking, Da-jeong buried her face in the broad back. Although her feet occasionally stumbled, even within the large revolving door, she tried to suppress her tears, feeling his warmth and scent. It seemed like the dam of emotions built up until now might burst into tears like a flood.
“Are you crying, Yoo Dajeong?”
He asked. Although Da-jeong fiercely wiped away the tears, her feelings were on the verge of bursting into sobs. Feeling the warmth of his hand and his scent, it seemed like the emotions accumulated until now might burst into tears like a flood.
“Then let me see you after a long time.”
Like a cicada, Da-jeong’s arms, which clung to his back without letting go, were only released after a long time had passed.
As Da-jeong, who faced him like that, stared at him with a glum expression, Jung-hyuk’s head tilted. It was because Da-jeong’s shoulders were constantly shaking. Lips tightly bitten, tears overflowing from her eyes rolled down her cheeks, marked by sorrow.
Quietly, it turned out that Yoo Dajeong lied more than she thought. She said she wouldn’t cry…
Jung-hyuk swallowed a sigh-like laugh. Then, he pulled Da-jeong’s shoulders, which were trembling with sorrow, and tightly embraced her.
Sitting side by side with Da-jeong in the car, Jung-hyuk rested his cheek against her forehead. Moments like these, where they could see, touch, and feel without any obstacles, were precious.
“Shall we go see my mother first in Cheongju, or Siu first?”
Like a playful bird, he raised his lips against her smooth hair, asking while rubbing his thumb against her hand, which she had adorned with a ring, then brought it to her cheek.
“Sorry to Mom, but Siu first.”
It was a question asked for formality. Even if she scolded him for being unfilial, she couldn’t help it when her son was eager to see him.
Jung-hyuk proposed a compromise.
“Then, let’s stop by the clinic, find Siu, and go to Cheongju together.”
Da-jeong nodded, meaning that was fine. His lips, which had slightly curved, pressed against Da-jeong’s forehead and fell. Meeting eyes, Da-jeong also responded by pecking her cheek.
Unable to hide their happiness, the corners of their mouths twitched. This time, instead of Da-jeong’s cheek, Jung-hyuk briefly kissed her lips and parted.
Despite the repeated kissing sounds, no one paid attention to the driver holding the steering wheel in the front seat.
Just a week. At least that much. Moreover, they hadn’t seen each other every day. The police officer in charge, who was caught impersonating a judge, couldn’t refuse a special visit request.
Despite the iron bars between them, for some reason, a tenderness developed between the two as if they were reunited beyond the prison lines.
“How did you find out that Director Oh was the culprit in the tent collapse accident?”
Da-jeong asked curiously. Rumors heard at the police station hinted that Oh Hyuna was involved in not only child abuse but also other incidents.
Jung-hyuk cast an indifferent glance.
“Oh Hyuna’s minion burned.”
“Who is the minion?”
“The PE teacher among the witnesses who said Siu was abused.”
Da-jeong gasped, swallowing her surprise. She had never expected that.
However, it was somewhat surprising. Wasn’t it the person who falsely testified that an abused child’s mother seemed to have abused the child repeatedly, leaving multiple bruises on the child’s body?
The reason Da-jeong could clear her name was because of the evidence Jung-hyuk obtained. It was a video file, and the contents of the video proved her innocence.
“Right. Witnesses disappeared, causing a lot of trouble, didn’t they? Where did he find that person?”
“Where do you think he found him?”
Jung-hyuk, who was idly twirling the conversation’s end, recalled what had happened two days ago.
That day, too, was an evening no different from usual. He had dinner with Yoo Siu, gave him a bath, dressed him in pajamas, and comforted the melancholy son who missed his mom before putting him to bed.
Listening briefly to the nostalgic stories of a well-going dad, Siu soon fell asleep, making soft breathing sounds.
Kissing the forehead of his son, who slept like an angel, and leaving the room, Jung-hyuk spent that night collecting data to find clues to clear Da-jeong’s suspicions.
How much time had passed? Late at night, an unexpected person came to Da-jeong’s apartment.
Leaning against the corner of a cabinet, Jung-hyuk rested his chin on it. His gaze, which had been leaning casually, turned fully toward the middle-aged woman who had come as a guest when it was already midnight.
Though he invited her to the living room since she was a familiar face, Jung-hyuk felt suspicious of this loyal grandmother.
“What’s Secretary Yoon doing?”
He asked cautiously. In response, Yoon Secretary, also looking awkward in this situation, smiled awkwardly.
“Can’t I get a cup of tea?”
“I’m still a guest in this house. It’s not like you came all the way here at this hour just to have tea.”
Responding as if expecting something, Yoon Secretary couldn’t help but smile awkwardly.
“I’ll get straight to the point. The chairman thought for a long time and said, ‘Isn’t now the time to use this item.'”
Conveying Chairman Park’s statement, Yoon Secretary placed a USB memory card on the table.
“I know the whereabouts of the person in the video. Please contact me if you need anything after watching it.”
After briefly addressing the matter, Secretary Yoon left the apartment.
Jung-hyuk immediately checked the questionable USB memory card. It contained a single video, and the person in it was very intriguing.
A man with a distinctive gait, wearing a black hat and a black mask, also looked familiar.
Not long ago, the person in the video received as a tip matched the person in the video, but the previous video turned out to be almost useless. In contrast, this one had significant value because the face hidden behind the mask was revealed.
The man with the black mask walks toward the deserted parking lot, removes his hat, and then takes off the mask. It was a video recorded by a parked black box.
Whether Chairman Park was lucky or capable, Jung-hyuk, contemplating while watching the video, burst into a broad smile.
“Nice to meet you, XX…….”
He clutched his phone and immediately made a call somewhere. After a short ring, the signal was cut, and a voice followed. It was Secretary Yoon.
『Yes, sir.』
“Where is this guy?”
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…?
