The belly bulged, and when the maternity clothes were quite tight, the usually fast-flowing time seemed to slow down.
Dahyun received a framed photo of Youngsil from Hansu and made it into a frame. Minhyuk understood her feelings of frequently looking at Youngsil’s photos and tried to give her some time alone.
“Oh, Kim Yunhee is leaving today.”
“Really? I hope she returns safely and meets her daughter.”
After sending off Youngsil, Dahyun spent chaotic days. The revelation of the real reasons behind the visa fund ledger and Youngsil’s traffic accident caused a stir for a while.
Yeongsuk, who never contacted her during her lifetime, called, and when Dahyun ignored it, Yeon contacted her.
Dahyun ignored the mother-daughter contacts. It was a self-inflicted wound. It seemed quite hypocritical for them to reach out to her when they were having a hard time.
Watching Soocheol’s downfall, Dahyun felt a subtle and complex emotion. Nevertheless, when the person she once believed to be her father collapsed, it was bitter.
“What will happen to those two?”
“They won’t give them anything.”
“When they call with a different number, let me know.”
When Dahyun didn’t answer the phone, Yeongsuk and Yeon continued to contact her by changing their mobile phone numbers. Recently, she hadn’t answered unknown numbers due to experiencing many things.
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
Hansu told the imprisoned Soocheol to keep the promise with Youngsil and sign on the share transfer contract, but Soocheol refused outright, saying he could never do that, suggesting he take the relationship instead.
Soocheol requested to meet with her, but when Dahyun heard about it, she immediately refused.
Hansu said that without agreement, the legal fight would be prolonged, but Dahyun was fine with it.
She didn’t want to face Soocheol. If he apologized, saying he was sorry, it would be obvious and meaningless. She didn’t want to be swept away by Soocheol’s intended flow.
Although she had no interest in the shares Soocheol had, she intended to compensate for the sacrifice Youngsil made because of him. And the received shares were to be decomposed.
Minhyuk suggested to Dahyun that, as the largest shareholder of Yusong, she should appoint a new management, but she neither wanted nor had the ambition to go through Soocheol’s hands.
“Is the trial date not set yet for that person?”
Dahyun no longer called Soocheol her father. She didn’t use any title, nor did she utter Soocheol’s name.
She completely treated Soocheol as a stranger in her world.
“Yeah. It hasn’t been decided yet. I’ll let you know as soon as it is.”
Dahyun wished for peace. If she could have peace and rest, it was more than enough.
Minhyuk looked at Dahyun’s beige maternity dress with affection as it popped out above the baby bump.
He had worried about not being able to go to the obstetrician for a long time. Fortunately, the baby endured the difficult situation and stayed firmly by her side.
Dahyun shed tears non-stop while looking at the ultrasound. Apologizing repeatedly for not properly practicing prenatal education, she crossed her arms and hugged her belly.
Minhyuk approached the crying Dahyun and hugged her tightly. After returning from the hospital, she focused on prenatal education.
Minhyuk belatedly showed her the photos he brought from the cafe. He openly placed the photos taken with her in the past in a frame on the bedroom dresser.
Minhyuk, looking at the photos he brought from the cafe, no longer harbored feelings of guilt.
Dahyun rushed and hugged Minhyuk affectionately, who had changed into workout clothes between the photos.
As soon as Minhyuk entered the bedroom, he gently brushed aside her hair that cuddled up to him.
“Why are you suddenly acting cute?”
“Minhyuk, you’ve had a hard time because of me, right?”
Dahyun was grateful and sorry for how much he had worked because of her. She was thankful that he came to her even though she couldn’t recognize him due to her lack of memory, and she was grateful for his efforts to resolve her misunderstandings. Everything has been appreciated since the moment she met him.
She used to think her life was a series of misfortunes. However, meeting Minhyuk changed that.
“I didn’t have a hard time with anything. You had a hard time.”
“I couldn’t remember you. I’m really sorry.”
“That was an accident.”
Even though it was an accident, Dahyun felt uncomfortable. Not remembering him was a disease caused by her weak heart escaping from accepting reality.
“Now, there won’t be any difficult times because of Chairman Han and those people. Even if that happens, I’ll protect you. Even if you forget me again, I’ll approach you.”
“I won’t forget now.”
Dahyun pressed her face against Minhyuk’s chest.
They shouldn’t be separated again.
“I love you.”
In response to Minhyuk’s bear-like confession of love, Dahyun lifted her head.
“I love you too.”
Dahyun raised on her tiptoes and kissed Minhyuk’s lips. In response to the gentle kiss, he extended his lips with regret.
“Make it deeper this time.”
