Taein gave birth after enduring ten hours of labor. The pain she experienced in bringing a child into the world was unprecedented. When she thought she might die from this, she heard the crying of the baby for the hundredth time.

When Taein held the baby, smaller and lighter than she had imagined, she felt nothing but gratitude for having lived all this time for this moment.

It was true that the best painkiller was seeing the baby’s face. Thanks to the baby, she could overcome the pain of childbirth and the pain afterward.

“Our Sihu, your baby pictures are just like when you were a baby.”

Even Nokhyun admitted that.

“……Isn’t there at least one corner that resembles you?”

Nokhyun asked while looking at Sihu, who fell asleep soundly in Taein’s arms.

Taein firmly shook her head.

“No. This one is just Kang Nokhyun itself.”

Nokhyun was disappointed with Taein’s words. She originally wanted a daughter like Taein, and even after knowing it was a son, she still hoped he would resemble Taein, but the child turned out to look just like her.

Nevertheless, he was adorable. Especially when he slept quietly like this.

After Taein was discharged from the maternity hospital, Nokhyun took care of parenting. After leaving the company to Yoon and Mora, she devoted herself to childcare.

Taein’s role was up to childbirth. Having overcome the risk of death to give birth, Taein had finished her job, and the rest was Nokhyun’s responsibility. During Taein’s pregnancy, Nokhyun acquired various knowledge about childcare.

So, except for breastfeeding, Nokhyun took charge. The baby got hungry quickly, and since crying was the only means of communication, Nokhyun couldn’t sleep properly.

It didn’t matter if she went hungry, but not being able to sleep was more painful than imagined.

“I’ll carry him, so you can sleep!”

A tired Taein brought Sihu from Nokhyun.

“It’s okay, I can do it.”

“Your face says otherwise.”

Nokhyun, who dismissed the helper and volunteered for childcare, was a pitiful sight.

As a result, Taein was about to explode.

“I really ca…”

Nokhyun collapsed after saying that much. Taein, surprised, laid Sihu, who had quietly fallen asleep, on the bed and touched Nokhyun’s forehead. She was breathing.

It seemed like she fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Taein put a pillow under Nokhyun’s head, covered her with a blanket, and lay down next to her. She poked Nokhyun’s cheek with a sense of contentment.

Just looking at her still made her heart flutter. Feeling uneasy because it was too quiet, Taein looked at Sihu, who was sleeping lightly, and noticed that he was also asleep.

As expected, both Nokhyun and Sihu were most beautiful when they were asleep.

Taein reached out and picked up the memo paper next to Nokhyun’s head.

Things Sihu wants to do when he grows up:

Go on a date with Taein.

Go to a hotel with Taein.

Go to an amusement park with Taein.

Go to eat something delicious with Taein.

Even when Sihu grew up, everything was about doing things with her.

“Taein…”

At the sudden sound of Nokhyun’s voice, Taein turned her head and looked at her face. Seeing her tightly closed eyes, it seemed like sleep talking.

“That’s not for eating…”
What kind of dream are you having?

Taein looked at Nokhyun, who was sleep talking with a serious expression, and burst into laughter.

Nokhyun, who had entered Taein’s daily life, was now sharing the same routine. Building small but beautiful memories together.

So, this is what being a couple is like.

Realizing this anew, Taein lightly kissed Nokhyun on the forehead.

“Daughter, wake up. You asked for pig’s trotters, but you’ve been asleep for a while.”

Seyoung opened her eyes at her mother Youngmi’s voice.

Getting up from the canopy-covered, spacious, and soft bed, Seyoung grinned. It was weird for this to be her room, but for some reason, it felt awkward. Should I say it’s awkward?

“Pig’s trotters…? Strange, I’m sure I slept in the sauna.”

Seyoung had been living in a sauna lately. Barely enduring the desire to eat eggs, she fell asleep, but when she woke up, it was the luxurious mansion she used to live in.

“Sauna? You used to hate places like saunas and public baths.”

Youngmi told Seyoung not to talk nonsense and get up.

“Mom, what month and day is it today?”

“Today? It’s July 7th.”

“What year?”

“2022. Why is she acting like this today?”

Seyoung bit her lip. She had returned to the past. July 7, 2022, was the day Taein had an accident. Seyoung remembered it clearly because she had hosted a joyful party with friends on that day.

This was an opportunity given by God. It was for the sake of pitiful Seyoung.

‘I have to talk to Unni and Uncle right away and ask them to kill Seo Taein definitively.’

Since Taein, who she thought was dead, reappeared, Seyoung’s life had started to fall apart.

I don’t know why I went back to the past, but this time, if Taein dies, I don’t have to live a life controlled by money.

Seyoung immediately looked for her phone. It was to call Uncle and Unni.

“Mom, where’s my phone?”
