She took off her shoes and briefly spoke to Ha Joon.
“Come in.”
Ha Joon found Ji An’s nonchalance, visible as he passed by, rather troubling. He tightly closed his lips and took off his shoes.
Entering the living room, Ha Joon, a few steps ahead, called out to Ji An.
“Ji An.”
“Mom might take a while to come out. What will you do? Will you wait?”
“I’ll wait.”
Ji An glanced at the master bedroom and returned to where Ha Joon was standing.
The living room, filled with luxurious leather sofas, a flashy chandelier, and antique furniture, was still unfamiliar.
She was hesitating whether to tell Ha Joon that her mother might not come out when the door to the master bedroom opened, revealing Jae Yoon and Eun Ji.
Unknowingly, Ji An looked at Eun Ji with a face that had wide open lips and raised eyebrows.
Eun Ji didn’t even look at Ji An and subtly twisted one side of her lips. At that moment, a heavy stone was placed on Ji An’s solar plexus.
“Really, it’s Ji An. I thought we wouldn’t see each other this year. ……Ah! Who?”
The voice came from the stairs connected to the second floor. The person standing in the middle of the stairs was Ji An’s sister, the violinist Genesis.
Genesis had her wavy auburn hair loose and was wearing a flashy designer dress with a floral pattern.
As she came down the stairs, she naturally took a place next to her mother, Eun Ji. Then, half hiding behind Eun Ji’s back, she asked Ji An.
“Who is this?”
Ji An knew why Genesis had to be defensive towards strangers. It was because she was stalked last fall. Fortunately, the quick response from her agency led to the capture.
Even amid all this, Genesis was sincere about the violin, finishing a full schedule of performances without a single hitch.
So, she didn’t particularly like Genesis, but she didn’t greatly dislike her either. After all, the one who gave the wrong love wasn’t her, but her mother.
Ji An softened her hardened expression and introduced Ha Joon to Genesis.
“He’s my friend, Yoon Ha Joon.”
“Is it that friend?”
Genesis took a belated step forward, bowed her head, and introduced herself.
“Hello, I’m the violinist Genesis. Are you Ji An’s lawyer friend? I heard from my father.”
“I am Yoon Ha Joon.”
When Ha Joon extended his business card, Eun Ji turned Genesis around. The hand that Ha Joon extended with the business card was an embarrassingly stern attitude.
Eun Ji, whose eyes turned soft in an instant, raised Genesis’s hair and smiled. Her warm eyes had a different look when looking at Ji An.
She snatched the business card instead of Genesis and squinted her eyes. Upon seeing the business card, Eun Ji’s eyes looked at Ha Joon again, as if surprised.
“A partner lawyer at Geonguk Law Firm?”
“Nice to meet you. I am Yoon Ha Joon.”
“Yes. I’ve heard about you from this young man. ……Please come in.”
Eun Ji glanced at Jae Yoon and headed for the dining room.
When Genesis, who was arm in arm with Jae Yoon, and Ha Joon and Ji An entered the dining room in turn, Eun Ji, who was seated at the head of the table, spoke.
“Bring the food.”
Shortly after, spicy galbijjim, seopsanjeok, threecolor namul and cabbage kimchi were served. Lastly, seaweed soup with rockfish and greasy rice were placed in front.
The dishes were mainly her favorite foods. Ji An felt like she had done well coming here. Even the atmosphere wasn’t too bad at this point.
The person who broke the awkward silence was Genesis.
“You’ve been friends with our Ji An since you were little, right? I’ve heard you were friends since childhood. It seems like a very special relationship, I was quite envious.”
“Yes. We’ve been friends for a long time.”
“You even came to the concert hall. Right?”
Ha Joon recalled Genesis’s performance he attended when he first received an invitation, which was watched together with his family. They would have also taken a picture in the waiting room. Although that was the first and last time.
He couldn’t remember why because he was young, but after the first visit, his mother had been hesitant about going to the waiting room.
He smiled faintly towards Genesis and responded.
“Even now, your father sends an invitation every year.”
“I see. How do you find my performances?”
“Actually, my mother goes with her friends. …… Seeing her go every year, I think she likes it.”
“I see. That’s really a relief.”
“Our Genesis is so affectionate. Do you remember that too?”
Eun Ji spoke, gently taking Genesis’s words. It was a proud look, remembering even her younger sister’s friends.
“Of course. I should remember. She’s my sister’s friend.”
“Even though he doesn’t come when I ask for some help, he’s still a sibling? Compared to that useless thing, our Genesis is really nice.”
Eun Ji looked straight into Ha Joon’s eyes and asked.
“Don’t you agree? Lawyer Yoon.”
Ha Joon’s eyes turned cold, unable to hide his feelings.
Genesis looked at Eun Ji with surprised eyes.
“Mom!”
“What?”
Jae Yoon pressed his waist, looking at his wife Eun Ji with a distorted expression. The sharp words exchanged over the past few days came to mind.
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…?
