“I feel reassured going with you. You’re more like a son to me than Kang Woo. Grateful for the kindness you’ve received.”
Finally stepping out of the car, Nam Tae patted Manager Lee’s shoulder.
“Good at understanding your place.”
Manager Lee’s face stiffened slightly.
The next morning, Se Ah was the first to wake up.
She carefully pushed away Kang Woo, who was holding her tightly in his sleep. With his eyes closed, he even looked somewhat gentle. The aftermath of last night was scattered everywhere.
She adjusted her slipped slip and cautiously placed her feet under the bed. Picking up the scattered clothes, she held them in her hand and left the bedroom.
The clock in the living room showed 8 AM. She headed straight to the dressing room. After putting the clothes from the bedroom in the laundry, she opened the wardrobe.
She had accidentally dropped the recorder when Kang Woo suddenly entered yesterday. Remembering this, she rummaged through her bag, not finding it at first and then overturning it completely.
A yellow envelope, a cash card, game books, a storytelling technique book, and the small recorder that had been lodged somewhere popped out. She had been worried it might have fallen elsewhere, so she sighed in relief.
After quickly glancing at the door, she transferred the content to her laptop and encrypted the document.
After hurriedly completing the task, she realized there were two files. One file was significantly smaller in storage than the other.
“Why are there two?”
She connected earphones to her laptop and pressed play.
“Make some noise when you walk……. You scared me.”
“To be loved by Ji Se Ah, even in footsteps, seems like a long road ahead.”
The content from last night had also been recorded.
Listening to their private conversation felt strange.
His low, heavy voice was the same, but her voice, was it really like that? Then, it must sound the same to him.
Listening to herself, she noticed she dragged out words and even flirted a bit. She had been trying to sound kind and direct to him, worried about appearing naive.
“Thank you for confessing…… and I also love you, Kang Woo.”
“Ah, I can’t listen to this.”
Her face flushed, and she automatically moved the cursor to the stop button. But then, she paused at his sweet voice.
His confession of loving her, no matter the reason.
Surprisingly, he had a romantic side. Surely last night wasn’t all part of his plan.
But… was it sincere?
Even if he knew everything about how we ended up married, would he remain unchanged?
Someday, Nam Tae would reveal everything. She often thought of just telling him everything and being free. But confessing the truth meant being prepared to lose him.
She was still too afraid to let go of Kang Woo.
The dressing room door rang twice. Her trailing thoughts halted.
“Ji Se Ah. Are you there?”
“Just a moment.”
Se Ah hurriedly closed the file window and pushed her laptop into her bag. As she opened the door, Kang Woo’s head was tilted curiously.
“Something seems off.”
“……What?”
“Waking up and disappearing, locking the door.”
“I did it so I wouldn’t disturb your sleep if I moved in bed. The door locking has become a habit, I guess.”
“Making light of something that pains me.”
Breezing past her, he grabbed a shower towel and clothes to change into.
“How can you tell it hurts from your expression?”
“It’s the face that doesn’t show anything that’s the problem. Ji Se Ah doesn’t believe me.”
“……Shall I leave you to shower?”
“Yes.”
Kang Woo gently stroked Se Ah’s cheek a few times, making her frown slightly, as if treated like a child.
“……When you see me, Kang Woo, do you…”
“Yes.”
“Feel nervous or something?”
“Why ask so timidly? Be more confident.”
“……I just feel unsure.”
“I get nervous. I want to look good for you.”
“That’s a lie.”
“I’ll figure out how to act so you believe me. I’ll do just that.”
Turning his back, Kang Woo headed towards the bathroom attached to the dressing room.
Regardless, it was an exciting and dazzling morning.
Days swiftly passed.
Se Ah spent ordinary days filled with happiness with him.
Though Kang Woo had a vacation until 1/1, he still went to work as the company’s CEO. However, he returned early in the afternoon, giving them more time together.
Having given their helper a few days off, Se Ah cooked for the first time in a while. Kang Woo’s eyes widened at the table set with nine dishes.
Six were ready-made, and three she cooked herself. Kang Woo, usually indifferent to food, enjoyed the meal. She kept quiet about only making three dishes when he complimented her for preparing nine.
On an early evening too precious to just sleep.
“Want to watch a movie?”
“What movie?”
Kang Woo reclined the sofa fully and settled in the center, gesturing for her to join him.
Lying next to him, she rested her hand lightly on his chest, using his arm as a pillow.
A thriller played on the home theater. Halfway through…
“Ahh!”
At a gruesome scene, Se Ah screamed and covered her eyes. Kang Woo chuckled and playfully tried to pull her hand away.
“Let me know when it’s over.”
“You were the one who wanted to watch first.”
“It’s interesting, but too scary… Let me know when the gruesome scene is over.”
Kang Woo stroked the back of her head and muted the movie with the remote.
“Why did you mute it?”
“It’s not ending. We’ll watch when you’re braver.”
“Still, it’s nice being like this with you…”
“Bored? Shall we go out tomorrow?”
“No. It’s nice just being like this.”
Se Ah snuggled closer into his broad embrace. Only the scent of fabric softener and his natural body fragrance lingered.
“You smell good too, Kang Woo. Even without perfume.”
He laughed heartily. Kang Woo lifted her hand from his shoulder and gently pushed her cheek so they could look into each other’s eyes.
“Completely fallen for me, huh?”
“……Seems so.”
His smile slowly faded into a gentle tilt of his lips, and his eyes turned serious.
“Ji Se Ah. Let’s register our marriage.”
“What?”
“I want to be your husband again, officially, not just for show.”

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.]
