This child was Dajeong’s hope and her only family. She admired the baby who energetically kicked and swam in her belly. Even at this moment, the precious baby was surely growing.
Dajeong could never give up on the baby.
“What are you thinking?”
Jaeho asked, bringing his face close to Dajeong’s.
With her thoughts still unorganized, Dajeong decided to make him laugh for now. Although she hadn’t spoken yet, it couldn’t be said that it was the man’s fault.
She looked at him with gentle eyes.
He hadn’t promised anything from the beginning. Even though he approached first, there must have been a reason why he didn’t sow any hope, a reason she realized too late.
Paying off debts, giving her a house and a car, perhaps dreaming of a long relationship—she couldn’t decide on marriage alone. That was a fact that wouldn’t change even if a baby was on the way.
“The sunlight feels so good.”
“Sunlight?”
“Even in winter. Jaeho’s living room is always bright like this.”
The man laughed following Dajeong, giving her his shoulder. Dajeong gently leaned her head and stared out the window.
“Still, it’s a holiday. Let’s go out.”
“I’m fine as it is.”
The window sparkled in the warm sunlight of the afternoon. Dajeong immersed herself in a leisurely tranquility. Her arms and legs loosened, and her eyelids gradually felt heavier. Perhaps due to early pregnancy, sleep poured over her like crazy.
“Ms. Yoon Dajeong, I have something to say.”
Jaeho called out to Dajeong.
“Um… just a bit… let me wait.”
However, Dajeong was on the verge of falling asleep. The man who had been gazing at the drowsy Dajeong for a moment adjusted his upper body angle with a low laugh, allowing her to lean more comfortably.
He was a busy man, knowing that he worked overtime as if it were eating. Such a man had rushed out on a weekday afternoon for her sake. In this moment, Dajeong felt happiness as if it were a dream.
The man had recently posted a message on the fan cafe, explaining his situation to the fans. He expressed gratitude for the fans who liked him as actor Lee Jaeho without revealing his chaebol identity because he wanted to be recognized solely for his acting.
He also mentioned that he might focus on his business for a while, so there might be a long hiatus after the release of “The Gray Man.” Lastly, he requested that people refrain from speculating about the ongoing rumors with O Chaewon, as there was no possibility of any development between them. His sincere attitude united the fans, and thanks to this, negative public opinion was gradually decreasing.
“Thank goodness…”
My bias. My precious actor.
“What did you say?”
Jaeho asked with a smile, but Dajeong had already fallen asleep.
**
It wasn’t until evening that she opened her eyes.
She seemed to have fallen asleep on the sofa, but when she woke up, she was in bed. The man had moved her to the bed without her knowing, asleep as she was. Goodness. So this was why expectant mothers habitually said they were so sleepy.
She habitually placed her hand on her lower abdomen and gently stroked it.
The man’s scent in the scented blanket was perfectly blissful. Then, she suddenly thought that the house was quiet. She got up from bed and, turning her gaze to the bedside table, found a note under Dajeong’s phone.
Touched by the man’s consideration not to wake her up, her heart ached. Dajeong folded the note and put it in her bag.
Checking the clock, it was 7:30 in the evening. After a brief hesitation, Dajeong put the phone down. She didn’t want to disturb his work.
“I should explore the second floor.”
She got up, and with a refreshed body after sleeping and waking up, she thoroughly explored every nook and cranny of the house.
It was so spacious; it felt like an art gallery. Expensive-looking sculptures adorned every corner, and there were many framed artworks, making it even more impressive.
After touring every room she hadn’t opened before, she went up to the second floor. The second floor was also as large and spacious as another house.
“You live in such a nice place, Mr. Jaeho.”
Well, he’s a chaebol, after all. He’s probably much richer than I thought.
Standing on the terrace overlooking the cityscape, she admired the view. The peaceful time was pleasing to her. Then, suddenly, a very old memory popped up.
A memory that emerged without any relevance.
Kim Sunghyun.
Ah…! I remembered. That name. The brother’s close friend was named Kim Sunghyun.
The person who had guarded the spot for three days during my brother’s funeral. The person who promised to come at the age of 49 but never showed up.
During middle school, memories flashed back of Dajeong, who had handed me chocolate and milk first and dashed out to greet me. He looked like he had jumped out of a comic book, with a perfect nose and a smooth jawline, making him an attractive man.
It seemed like my young heart was somewhat fluttering.
I don’t know. Life had crumbled too much after that accident, and I couldn’t recall the emotions from that time well. Dajeong’s middle school memories had many more erased parts. Some were intentionally erased, and others had naturally faded away as life became difficult.
Recently, I couldn’t even remember the faces of friends who were in the same class and just passed by.
That period in life seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog. The small memories that broke through that gap felt oddly out of place and perplexing.
Why did Mom mention that brother?
“…Maybe it’s just a dream.”
Still, if she was going to mention it, it would have been better to call him the baby’s father. Of course, Mom didn’t know the man well, but she strangely felt a sense of regret and slightly frowned while looking at the night sky.

Jaeho, who had originally planned to leave work and go home, had to change his course back to the office after receiving a call from Director Jung. It was because of his cousin sister, I Sera.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop Director I Sera from causing a scene…”
A scene? What a peculiar situation this must be.
Jaeho sighed.
He didn’t want to leave Dajeong alone. Dajeong seemed exhausted and almost fell asleep as if she had fainted. He wanted to stay by her side…
There were things he had to say.
It couldn’t be helped. After laying Dajeong on the bed, he went to the dressing room and took out a small box he had prepared in advance. A sparkling ring radiated its brilliant presence.
He recalled the past week when he prepared the ring.
During overtime, he spent a long time comparing each luxury ring brand, choosing a ring that didn’t look too expensive but had an incredibly sophisticated and elegant design.
He couldn’t bear it any longer.
Rushing, he had already imagined a life with Dajeong and the baby.
Since that day, Jaeho had been tormented by an unexplainable thirst. Even while embracing and kissing Dajeong, the thirst didn’t subside.
In the end, he had to spit out those words to quench the thirst.
Let’s live together. Be my family. Become the mother of my child.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
