Seeing Haeyeon changing the subject, Doha felt a sense of unease. Despite his desire to become a new family for Haeyeon, unlike his feelings, could he be making her feel more lonely?
Even if they divorced or broke up, Chairman Yoon would never let Haeyeon go easily. It would be another new contract. If you inherit the Gilmyeong Group, I won’t interfere with Min Haeyeon for the rest of my life.
In the end, Haeyeon was experiencing unnecessary hardship just because she met him. Yet, she never showed a sign of difficulty or dislike.
Knowing the reason why Haeyeon acted like that, Doha still wanted to ask. Why are you by my side?
How should I love?
How can I love you the same way you love me?
‘What are you exactly…’
That was the reason. Even with just one gift, Haeyeon was moved. That’s why Doha felt such self-blame and guilt. Thinking about it, Doha, who knew that Haeyeon was late going to wear the earrings, asked, “Haeyeon, is it still far?”
“Huh? Just a moment!”
Finally, the sound of slight footsteps was heard, and Haeyeon returned.
“Doha, how do I look?”
It was a bit awkward, and Doha had to quickly respond to Haeyeon, who was asking with a fluttering heart. However, Doha couldn’t say anything and just stared blankly at Haeyeon.
“Ah.”
The foolishly blurted out word was a sigh. Haeyeon awkwardly smiled at how Doha interpreted it.
“Is it too much to wear even a dress?”
There’s no way. If she’s wearing that dress, it would never look like that. Haeyeon is wearing Doha’s favorite dress right now. Doha couldn’t help but laugh at Haeyeon, who had carefully put on the dress after trying on the earrings just for fun.
The clean and elegant trench-style dress and the elegant earrings matched perfectly with Haeyeon’s white skin. Only now did Doha realize. When choosing the earrings, Haeyeon probably unconsciously considered the dress she liked.
“So, Doha, how is it?”
“…Well.”
Haeyeon, who received an ambiguous response rather than a positive one, widened her eyes in confusion.
“I can’t tell from a distance. I need to see up close.”
Saying that, Doha took a step towards Haeyeon and pressed his body against hers. When they closed the one-arm distance, Haeyeon’s cheek quickly turned red.
“Are you going to tease me like this…?”
Timidly adding, Haeyeon’s earlobes turned red in contrast to the transparent diamond earrings. Discovering that distinct difference, Doha’s laughter flowed out unconsciously.
“Seeing this reaction makes me want to tease you even more.”
“…Haha, really.”
Haeyeon lowered her head. When Doha laughed as if teasing her, Haeyeon, covering her face with her hand, shyly raised her head. Doha wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her blushing cheeks.
“I love you, Haeyeon.”
As Doha extended his cool gaze and gently kissed Haeyeon’s lips, her pink lips, which had been pouting, were instantly sealed. When Haeyeon’s hands wrapped around his back, Doha swept her ears and the back of her neck.
Like touching velvet, their warm breaths filled each other’s mouths, and after reluctantly parting their lips, Haeyeon’s eyes, wandering hesitantly, answered quietly.
“I love you, Doha.”
Haeyeon, who shyly confessed, lifted her head. The lips that were pressed against mine were plumper than ever.
Warm and peaceful days followed.
Since Haeyeon had a baby, Doha’s workload increased even on weekdays. It was to quickly get out of a contract with Chairman Yoon, but he tried to be with Haeyeon on weekends.
He reduced business trips as much as possible and even managed to prevent Haeyeon from going to Daechi-dong almost every weekend. As a result, he had to reveal Haeyeon’s pregnancy news to her family.
“Are you going to the obstetrician this week?”
“…Yes, that’s right.”
“Don’t go secretly like last time.”
When I spoke a little firmly, Haeyeon blinked her eyes while pursing her lips. Because Doha, who insisted on accompanying her to the obstetrician even if it was a bit burdensome, Haeyeon went to the hospital alone last month.
Although Haeyeon intentionally didn’t show the baby book, Doha, who eventually found what she had hidden, finally figured out Haeyeon’s obstetrician schedule.
“…Okay.”
Haeyeon answered timidly. Even if it was for her husband, she felt sorry for going to the hospital alone and hiding it. Doha eventually laughed and spoke.
“You’re going to drive?”
On a sunny weekend, Doha faced Haeyeon, who nodded seriously.
“Maybe because it’s the last day before giving birth, so I want to.”
Doha also knew that the early stages of pregnancy were the most risky for a miscarriage. However, on that day, he couldn’t stop Haeyeon, who wanted to do it.
“Doha, you always did that. You have to check your email frequently, so I’ll do it today. It’s not a big deal compared to going home.”
With a squinting eye, Doha crumbled without hesitation. In the end, handing over the keys, he got a firm answer that he would do it when he came back.
“Don’t do it again in the future. Got it?”
“Oh, I got it. Of course. This is the last time.”
Haeyeon cheekily kissed Doha on the cheek, and he couldn’t stop her. Since she had driven Doha’s car several times before, Haeyeon decided to drive his car. Moreover, Doha had decided to drive after leaving the hospital.
They also planned a drive to nearby places, not just to the obstetrician. As her body got heavier, they might not be able to go out often, so they decided to go on a drive to the suburbs of Seoul.
“See? No problem.”
“Still, only up to the hospital.”
“I got it.”
It was a happier time than ever. While driving, they exchanged small talk, mostly about the baby to be born, and they were simply happy.
By the time they passed Singil Station, it was around.
Zi-i-ing.
He thought it was a call from Doha, but it was Haeyeon’s phone.
“Oh? The call is in the back seat.”
“Really? I’ll give it to you.”
The signal had just changed, and Doha unfastened his seatbelt. When he tried to twist his body to reach for the handbag in the rear seat, Haeyeon shouted.
“Doha!”
In response to Haeyeon’s torn cry, Doha reflexively turned around. It was when he turned back that he couldn’t even confirm the approaching car, as Haeyeon’s scream was more important to Doha.
Doha didn’t hesitate at all to throw herself in front of Haeyeon. Twisting the steering wheel until the moment the truck came straight on, it was solely to prevent the truck from covering Haeyeon.
Crash!

She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
