Sure enough, the table was filled with delicious Korean side dishes, including her favorite soft tofu stew.
She couldn’t believe this information had leaked from Woo Joo.
“Let’s eat quickly before it gets cold.”
“Yes……”
Woo Joo, who had already skewered the octopusshaped sausage with his fork, was beaming from ear to ear.
Seol Won cautiously picked up her spoon and scooped up a piece of soft, fluffy tofu floating in the stew.
Chae Ha’s gaze followed her spoon, but she pretended not to notice and calmly placed the tofu in her mouth.
“…!”
“How is it? Delicious, right?”
Not asking about the taste, but rather confidently assuming it’s delicious.
But having already taken a bite, all Seol Won could do was nod her head.
The texture of the perfect tofu, neither bland nor salty, completely captivated her taste buds.
“It’s… delicious.”
“Universe too! The side dishes that Universe’s King Uncle made were really, really delicious~.”
“Eat lots and grow quickly. Little one. I’ll cook for you every day.”
“Really? Are you going to make octopus sausage every day?”
“Of course. Not only octopus, but I can also do sharks and stingrays.”
“Woah~ Exciting! I like Universe sharks too!”
Seeing Chae Ha’s tender treatment of Universe, Seol Won was taken aback.
He felt so strange as if she might have actually lost her memory.
Then, it happened. Chae Ha made an unexpected proposal.
“Now that you’ve returned, what about doing our wedding shoot?”
“Huh? A wedding shoot?”
“Yes. Unfortunately, we don’t have any photos from our previous shoot. With Universe here, I think it would be nice to do a reminder wedding shoot. What do you think?”
“A shoot? Photos? Yes, let’s take them! Universe wants to take them too!”
Universe raised his voice cheerfully, unaware that he had become a cheerleader for Chae Ha.
Of course, the fact that they had done it before was a lie, but as before, Seol Won had nothing to say.
She was just perplexed as to why such a busy person was behaving this way.
Knowing her position, Chae Ha continued to speak leisurely as if using her.
“You can’t just do nothing for three months. Even if I tried my hardest to restore your memory, it would be insufficient.”
“……I don’t think my memory would return just by doing that.”
“No. I asked our doctor. He said that in order to restore memories, it’s effective to relive one by one the things we did together in the past.”
Looking at his attitude, it was clear that he had planned meticulously.
As if he were the doctor himself, he explained this ‘memory resurrection method’ quite seriously.
“Like this, eating together, going out to play. Recreating the big events of the past. The wedding shoot is part of that. Of course, the best method is what we did in our bed every night…….”
“Just, just the wedding shoot will do!”
Anticipating a dangerous statement, Seol Won hurriedly exclaimed.
At that, the corners of Chae Ha’s mouth gently lifted.
It looked like a fox’s tail swaying in the wind, and Seol Won shook her head inside.
She thought she knew Kwon Chae Ha somewhat after three years of married life, but the man in front of her was quite different.
“Woah, exciting! Wedding~ wedding shoot! Huh? But what’s a wedding……?”
Seeing the puzzled Universe, Chae Ha poked his round forehead lightly and answered.
“That’s about a very important thing your mom and I did. It’s marriage.”
“Uh? When you get married, you become a couple? That’s what my rabbit class teacher said!”
“That’s right. Little one.”
“Uh? If you’re a couple then that means…….”
Watching Universe, who was filled with questions, Seol Won quietly continued her meal.
Normally, she would have satisfied his curiosity right away, but she couldn’t bring herself to explain now that they had become parents because of that marriage.
“I’ll do the dishes.”
“No, just sit down. I will do it.”
As Seol Won was about to stand up from her seat, he held her shoulder and made her sit down again, then he tied on his apron once more.
Then he took a deliciouslooking fruit tart out of the refrigerator and placed it on the dining table.
“Here’s dessert. It’s a pity, but I haven’t learned to bake yet.”
Before she could say another word, he picked up two forks and pricked the cherries on top, then Chae Ha turned toward the sink.
Seeing Kwon Chae Ha washing the dishes in an apron was unexpected.
Giving one cherry to Woo Joo, Seol Won blankly stared at his back.
Looking at him like this after 5 years, he didn’t seem to have changed much.
His face seemed to have a deeper atmosphere than before, and his physique seemed to have improved.
Seeing his broad shoulders and wide back somehow made her heart flutter.
How would it feel to hold that broad back?
Naturally, she had never hugged him from behind.
Such a back hug was a natural skinship that real lovers would do.
‘Min Seol Won, what are you thinking about!’
Surprised by her own thoughts, Seol Won shook her head vigorously.
Just then, Chae Ha turned his head slightly and looked at her.
The corner of his mouth drew a line again, and he threw a tempting comment at Seol Won.
“If you want to hug, you can do so anytime.”
“……No, I won’t!”
“Really? I thought you had such feelings because I felt a burning gaze on my back.”
Feeling embarrassed even to respond, Seol Won quickly turned her gaze to the side.
She couldn’t meet his eyes now.
That’s when it happened.
Instead of Seol Won who refused the back hug, a small silhouette dashed toward Chae Ha.
Then, it hugged him tightly from behind.
“Woo Joo will hug Mr. Giant!”
“……”
Because of her short stature that couldn’t even reach his waist, she awkwardly hugged one side of Chae Ha’s thigh, but the adorable and cute sight made a smile appear on Seol Won’s lips.
It seemed to be the same for Chae Ha.
The corner of his mouth loosened, and he gave an endlessly affectionate glance to Woo Joo.
“I can’t even complain about this, it’s a pity.”

Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
