Hye Won arrived home and let out a low sigh, carelessly dropping her bag.
She loosely tied up her long hair and changed into comfortable clothes. With shaky steps, she came to the living room, took a seat under the sofa, and lifted her head.
It was well past eleven at night.
“I have absolutely no energy.”
She rubbed her stomach, now numbed to the sensation of hunger. She hadn’t eaten since lunch, so she knew she needed to eat, but her tired brain wouldn’t cooperate.
Her dry lips twitched as she closed her eyes. A moment later, Hye Won flinched unknowingly and furrowed her brow.
The first clear thing among the spreading darkness was the face of Executive Director Ha Tae Beom.
His distinct face with its stunning features for a man caught her eye. Despite his lax behavior, there was an aura of authority in his eyes.
Even the slightest distortion of his brow conveyed his intentions, and a slight lift of his chin revealed his desires.
His long legs crossing over each other showcased a peculiar sense of superiority.
“It seems the Creator invested heavily in the Executive Director. Very heavily indeed.”
The authority he maintained, the time he spent ruling without interruption, all seemed to have accumulated and filled his physique.
Huff. Hye Won let out a small sigh and lifted her eyelids.
Thinking of Tae Beom naturally led to the voice of Vice President Ji Seok echoing in her ears.
‘Yun Deputy Manager. Since the Foundation has grown you so much, it’s time to give back. What do you say? From my perspective, it seems like now is the right time.’
At six years old, Hye Won became an orphan.
Afterwards, she bounced around relatives’ houses with her threeyearold brother. During her childhood, she never voiced any wants or desires.
No one ever explained the absence of their parents. Then at eighteen, she discovered the truth: her mother had eloped with a factory worker, and her father, claiming he was going to catch a boat, had left and never returned.
Even when she discovered all the reasons, Hye Won remained calm. She had never had a place to vent her grievances or frustrations, so she was used to keeping everything inside.
“Why is my head so heavy…?”
Rubbing her throbbing head with her fingers, Hye Won once again closed her eyes.
Her threeyearold rebellious brother was distorted.
It wasn’t easy for her brother, who dropped out of school at an early age to make money, to find a decent, legal job.
Her only family, her brother, became a criminal.
Calls from the police station were more frequent than calls from her brother. The detectives visited more often than her brother did.
For Hye Won in such circumstances, the scholarship from Yu Sun Airlines was a lifeline that helped her endure hard times.
He studied relentlessly and clung to life just as relentlessly. If he couldn’t seize even this opportunity, then young Hye Won knew better than anyone else what the rest of her life would be like.
As if to show off, Hye Won graduated from college with excellent grades and landed a job at Yoo Sun Aviation’s headquarters.
It may not be surprising that a young person got a job, but at least for Hye Won, it was a human victory.
As if reborn, Hye Won erased all her past. She moved without anyone knowing, and she changed her contact information.
She only wanted one thing, to live a normal life.
‘Assistant Yoon. The foundation has raised you this much, you should start paying back. What do you think. To me, it seems like the right time.’
Vice President Ha Ji Seok’s voice lingered in her ears. Hye Won lightly shook her head as if she had given up.
Tae Beom’s face and Ji Seok’s voice continuously overlapped, complicating her thoughts.
“I have to endure. I must endure bravely.”
She quietly muttered to herself, as if casting a spell.
Tae Beom, who was eager to get rid of her, didn’t know one thing.
The thing she was best at in the world, she, who had never voiced what she wanted to eat, what she wanted to have, was
“How did I get into this company. What kind of company is Yoo Sun Aviation to me. I have to endure no matter what.”
Enduring and keeping silent.
5:00 A.M.
Seongbukdong, located between Baekak Mountain and Samgak Mountain, has been famous for its good geography since ancient times.
As you smoothly drive along the wellpaved roads, you can see the unique alleyways of Seongbukdong, where morning glory hangs on every fence, signaling the beginning of spring.
Tae Beom left the parking lot and walked towards his home. The path from the main gate to the gravel was neatly laid out, so the distance between the separately constructed parking lot and the house was quite far.
It was spring, but the wind was a bit harsh in the early morning. The sound of a man’s footstep echoed heavily on the quiet sidewalk.
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…?
