“It’s certain. Judging by the blood test results, it seems to be around the fourth week.”
“Ha…”
Taesang pressed his trembling heart with his palm to calm himself.
A baby was coming.
Our baby, who would be wriggling inside Dajeong’s belly. How small would it be, and how beautiful? He already wanted to see the baby he had never seen before.
“To hear the joyous news of becoming a father from this old man, I really have no face. I’ll call my wife separately and apologize to her.”
“Joyous news…”
Dajeong, who loved children more than anyone and longed for them, was pregnant. When she hears the news, she will undoubtedly be happy as if she has the whole world.
He didn’t want to miss that sight. Taesang quickly gripped his phone.
“Doctor.”
“Yes?”
“I want to tell her in person, so please don’t say anything to Dajeong. Please don’t contact her even at the hospital.”
“Ah… is that so? Well, it’s better this way since it happened. Got it. I’ll separately inform the clinic about my examination.”
Since Jieun had committed a crime, Dr. Hwang cooperated quite actively. He exchanged a few congratulatory greetings afterward and hung up the phone.
Taesang’s expression holding the phone was quite vacant. His ears still tingled, and his heart pounded fiercely.
“A baby…”
A single word that flowed out of his mouth echoed back into his ears.
The sound of “our baby,” heard in his voice, felt somewhat awkward. It was something awkward and stiff. He wanted to hear it in Dajeong’s voice as soon as possible.
The words “our baby” and “I’m so happy that we have our baby” had to be said. That way, it would feel real.
Taesang stood up. It wasn’t the time to be stuck at the desk like this. He had to go meet Dajeong and our baby immediately.
On this holiday, Dajeong visited the Hope Center.
She enjoyed a date with Director Dad, had a meal out with the kids after a long time, and had planned such a fulfilling day…
“I have to come home right now. As soon as possible… No, not quickly… No, just stay there quietly. I’ll come to pick you up.”
He rambled on and hung up, then promptly came to pick her up. Within an hour and a half. It was so fast that he suspected if he had flown.
Throughout the return, Taesang seemed odd.
He fumbled several times to fasten a single seatbelt buckle, and he repeated the question of what she ate three times.
There are days like this, Dajeong just thought. Until she saw the prepared dishes on the terrace.
“This, what is this…”
Samgyetang with plenty of jujubes and ginseng, well-cooked steak with Weldon, and even abalone porridge with a savory aroma.
He said to wash up and come out for dinner, but Taesang prepared not dinner but a feast. Moreover, it was a very incongruent feast.
Moreover.
Bang.
The light sound of popping champagne brought the end of disharmony.
“Taesang, what’s all this? Dragging me here out of the blue for something important… Was it to prepare such a perplexing table like this?”
“It might be perplexing, but it’s delicious and good for your health.”
Before heading to the childcare center, Taesang had contacted the Hyosung Hotel Food and Beverage Team. Dajeong, who was pregnant, needed not only taste but also nutritious food. It had to be enough for both of them to eat.
For this reason, the orders kept increasing endlessly. According to the delivery staff, the chef thought there was a party at his house.
“I know your culinary skills, Head Chef. But what I’m asking is, why did you suddenly go through all this trouble to cook?”
“I want to feed her something delicious, but my skills are still lacking.”
“No, that’s not what I mean…”
Taesang smiled and poured champagne into the long flutes. The bubbly foam quickly filled the glasses.
Through the cool night air, a sweet fragrance spread.
Dajeong clinked glasses lightly and took a sip of the yellow liquid. There was no trace of the typical bitterness of alcohol.
“This… Is it non-alcoholic?”
“Yeah. I wanted to have non-alcoholic today.”
“…”
He, who usually enjoyed wine, now drinking non-alcoholic champagne made it even stranger.
Dajeong slowly reflected on her day.
When she woke up in the morning, there was nothing different from usual. The greeting kiss was a bit longer when he left for work, but it wasn’t strange. Even when she called during lunchtime, it was ordinary.
He started acting strange around the time of the call just before leaving work.
Certainly, something happened in the afternoon.
“Taesang, something happened at work earlier, didn’t it?”
“No.”
“But why are you acting so weird? You keep mumbling, and you’re drinking non-alcoholic champagne, which doesn’t suit you at all.”
“It’s just that my taste has changed a bit. Hurry up and eat.”
Taesang handed her a plate. Inside the round dish were neatly spread pieces of chicken.
Dajeong wrinkled her nose uncertainly. She didn’t want to eat the piled-up chicken, let alone the ginseng and jujubes that accompanied it.
“This is just like the decoration of samgyetang.”
“Who says that?”
“Who says that? Everyone says so.”
“Try eating a bit.”
Looking at his firmly set expression, it was evident he would somehow make her eat.
Dajeong reluctantly picked up a piece of ginseng and meat with her lips. If she had to eat it anyway, it was better to eat it while it was still warm.
The moment she brought the chopsticks toward her mouth.
“Ah…”
Nutritious food crossing the sea and air, non-alcoholic champagne.
It seemed she knew. The reason he prepared this dinner.
“Ta-Taesang… Could it be…”
“…”
“Did you get the results of the health checkup yesterday? Is that it?”
“Yes.”
Taesang nodded with a gentle smile.
This couldn’t happen so suddenly.
Dajeong put the chopsticks down weakly.
“What’s wrong with me? So now you’re going to say I can’t fly anymore? That’s why you’re doing all this, preparing healthy food, right?”
Dajeong stared at him with an almost tearful expression, eyebrows furrowed.
Before marriage, he firmly laid down the rule. If there was any issue with his health, flying would be prohibited.
He was confident that such a thing wouldn’t happen with his strong constitution. But unexpectedly, such a day had come. And so quickly.
The unexpected event left her feeling thoroughly downcast.
