The first movement.
When the baby revealed its first movement to the world, Haeyeon and Doha were happy as if they had everything.
After the first kick, the baby often knocked on her mother’s belly. Each time, Haeyeon could imagine the baby’s soft, velvety skin, round and round eyes, and the indentations between its fingers.
Drawing scenes of placing the small and lovely baby on her chest, stroking its soft hair, and singing a lullaby was not difficult for Haeyeon and Doha.
“Who do you think our baby will resemble?”
“I hope our baby resembles you, Haeyeon.”
“Really?”
Doha hoped that the baby would resemble Haeyeon, who always brightly smiled anywhere, unlike himself, who was rough at expressing emotions. He believed that the baby would receive love from anyone in that case.
“Well, I hope our baby resembles Mr. Doha.”
Conversely, Haeyeon wished to resemble Doha’s solid and strong personality that never wavered in any situation. Of course, adding his handsome face to the mix.
“Our little round one will be pretty no matter who it resembles.”
“Yeah, because it’s our baby.”
While sharing affection and expectations, the two looked at each other’s faces. Sitting side by side on the hospital bed, conversing had become the daily routine for the two lately.
Haeyeon’s head turned back to Doha, and then, with a slight sound, his lips brushed past her cheek.
‘Happy.’
The anxiety that she couldn’t know until Doha woke up, perhaps something she had to pretend not to know, disappeared. Now only happiness and stability surrounded them.
Just being with Doha brought a sense of relief and happiness, and Haeyeon thought that this life itself might be a blessing.
Sometimes, it felt miraculous.
Among many people, meeting Doha and him loving her, the fact that only two people in the world had the same feelings for each other, and even that moment perfectly matched was a miraculous experience.
If they had liked each other at different times, how unhappy would they have been? Thinking such thoughts, Haeyeon was grateful for today and tasted the miracle of everyday life.
“Come back safely.”
“Got it. Don’t overwork yourself either.”
“Sure.”
It was not an exaggeration to say that Doha was doing company work in the hospital, having set up a mini office in the room. Although it wasn’t something to be pleased about, Haeyeon couldn’t interfere much, knowing that she was not in a position to say anything to him.
Leaving the room, Haeyeon moved to Daechi-dong. She had visited frequently even when Doha was in a coma, and now she continued to visit periodically even after he woke up. Of course, Doha knew that she was coming to her house.
“Welcome, Young Madam.”
“You’ve come again today.”
As she entered Daechi-dong, familiar faces greeted her. Since she visited so often due to the tea business, Haeyeon was no longer a guest but more like a manager.
“Oh? Are you two here together?”
“Yes. It seems challenging for one person to handle the incoming items from outside.”
“The chairman is sensitive about having other people entering the house.”
In response to Haeyeon’s question, the two servants answered one after the other. Chairman Yoon did not place many people in the main house. Except for security, he kept the minimum number of people for household chores.
Usually, only these two stayed and worked, but when there was a special occasion, hiring additional help was common in Daechi-dong.
When bringing in items from outside like now, the employees brought them in directly to avoid upsetting Chairman Yoon, who did not welcome outsiders.
“Can I help?”
With a concerned expression, Haeyeon offered her assistance, and Mrs. Choi waved her hand.
“Oh, Young Madam. Don’t worry about it. What a big deal. I feel sorry for you just for taking care of Chairman’s meals. Please, go inside.”
“That’s right, it’s our job. Oh, right…”
Mrs. Choi seemed about to say something, but Mrs. Kim spoke first.
“Let’s go. It’s getting late.”
“Right.”
As the two helpers left, Haeyeon entered the house. The place became quiet as people left. It was said that the next chairman would come home late in the afternoon, and the only security remaining was in his quarters. It was almost as if she were alone in this large mansion.
After washing her hands in the bathroom and leaving her clothes in the living room, Haeyeon went straight to the kitchen. She started preparing food for the next chairman, took a break, and then, as if remembering something, she smiled.
“I should make a snack that the young miss likes.”
She wanted to cook something that Dohui liked for a change. Someone who had treated her warmly, not demanding any responsibility from her after the accident, but rather being warmer than before. Someone who shared the same pure wish for Doha to wake up.
“Beautiful.”
Having made kimbap that Dohui liked, Haeyeon felt satisfied. Dohui loved Haeyeon’s kimbap more than anyone else. Haeyeon tidied up the kitchen and, thinking of making lunch for Doha and Jua too, she made a bit more.

“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
