“…Woo Joo has a habit of hugging the person next to him when he sleeps, are you really okay with that? He might even hug you, Chae Ha.”
“If that’s the case, I welcome it even more. I wish you had the same habit. It’s a pity. You always maintain a remarkable safety distance while sleeping.”
While complaining, Chae Ha spread two pillows and made a place for Woo Joo’s pillow.
Soon Woo Joo’s cute strawberrypatterned pillow was placed in that spot.
“Now, shall we sleep amicably?”
“Yes! Woo Joo is sleepy.”
“Alright. This giant dad will sing a lullaby for you.”
As Chae Ha stretched out his arm long enough to reach over from Woo Joo’s pillow to Seol Won’s, it seemed as though the two of them were nestled in his embrace.
Perhaps it was incredibly comforting, as Woo Joo fell asleep almost immediately after lying down.
The pounding rain against the window and the flickering lightning didn’t disturb the child’s sleep.
Hearing the faint sound of regulated breathing, Seol Won also began to feel tired shortly after.
“I’m sorry for what mother did. I will apologize on her behalf.”
As her eyelids started to become heavy, Seol Won was startled by the unexpected words Chae Ha spoke and instinctively turned her gaze towards him.
Chae Ha was staring at the ceiling with a distant look in his eyes.
His lonely profile, difficult to gauge, flickered under the light.
“I won’t let it happen again, so don’t worry.”
“……Okay.”
“Min Seol Won.”
“Yes?”
Unable to look away from Chae Ha’s profile as he called her name with a quiet voice, Seol Won felt as if his voice was falling into her heart with each drop of rain.
“Now, I’m telling you this honestly, but the truth is, I’ve done you many wrongs.”
“Mr. Kwon Chae Ha……”
“But I don’t intend to apologize right now.”
“Do as you please. I can’t remember anyway……”
At her quiet response, Chae Ha swiftly turned his head towards her.
As if he had noticed her gaze from the beginning.
“Aren’t you going to ask why? Why I’m not apologizing right now.”
“Because…… I can’t remember.”
“No.”
Chae Ha moved even closer towards Seol Won.
At some point, Woo Joo turned towards Chae Ha and held him tightly like a body pillow.
With the small child fully embraced in his arms, Chae Ha whispered softly.
“I’m waiting until I know all about what I need to apologize for, the things you’ve gone through.”
“……”
“Min Seol Won. What exactly happened to you?”
“I……”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to tell me. I’ll find out everything, so you don’t need to strain yourself to speak.”
Feeling uneasy about meeting his gaze, Seol Won slowly lowered her eyes.
Then, his large, reassuring hand, holding Woo Joo, entered her sight.
A hand she had never forgotten, even in the cruel course of time, even amidst the pain that seemed to carve out her flesh.
A hand she longed for even when she closed her eyes to forget, a hand that would haunt her behind her eyelids……
As if he wasn’t necessarily waiting for her response, Chae Ha continued his monologue that seemed not to be a monologue.
“Right now, it’s enough that you’re here, alive and breathing. Even if you, Min Seol Won, never remember me in your lifetime, as long as you are alive, I’ll keep trying until I die.”
“Mr. Kwon Chae Ha……”
“So, don’t just try to run away. Stay by my side. By my side. I’ll make sure that no one can harm you and Woo Joo.”
Did he see through her anxiety at some point?
Chae Ha was asking her for a chance.
To Seol Won, who was contemplating leaving unexpectedly, he was pleading her to stay with him.
Instead of replying, Seol Won stared at his long and smooth fingers.
Even after sharing a bed again, they were two people who had never touched even the tips of their fingers, always maintaining a distance.
Then, in this moment, an indescribable urge arose.
The desire to hold his hand. The wish to gently place her hand on his large one that seemed to embrace the universe.
And to warm up this summer night with the heat of three people.
“……”
But she couldn’t do it.
Seol Won quietly retracted her hand, which was about to touch the tip of Chae Ha’s hand.
Then she turned her head back to face the front and closed her eyes to sleep.
As she closed her eyes, Chae Ha stopped talking.
Although the heavy rain outside the window was subsiding, it was a night when sleep did not come easily.
Meanwhile, there was another person who couldn’t sleep that night.
It was Heo Young Joo.
Tossing and turning, fearing a scolding from Kwon Kang Ho, Heo Young Joo had come out to the living room and sat alone in the dark.
She had tried everything from drinking water to tea, but her heart wouldn’t calm down.
“Ah, I’m going crazy.”
Frustrated, Heo Young Joo pounded her chest.
With dawn soon approaching, every time she closed her eyes, the image of the child named Woo Ju popped up like a phantom.
In reality, she hadn’t attended the meeting today.
Having overheard Kwon Kang Ho’s phone call to Chae Ha a while ago, asking him to bring the child, Heo Young Joo cancelled her attendance and hid in a corner of the thirdfloor balcony.
From the first floor, you couldn’t see anything no matter how hard you looked up, but from above, you had a clear view of the living room below it was a blind spot.
The moment she saw the child who had followed Min Seol Won and Chae Ha, Heo Young Joo nearly lost her breath.
The child had gained even more weight since the last time she had seen him at the daycare, his cuteness had doubled, and the belly greeting he gave to Kwon Kang Ho was so polite that she couldn’t help but admire him.
Eating bread while hiding and watching their movements like a CCTV, was Heo Young Joo.
When she saw Woo Ju singing, dancing, and being affectionate in Kwon Kang Ho’s arms, it was really her limit.
She wanted to jump down right away, introduce herself confidently as the grandmother, hold him in her arms and coo, her whole body was itching.
If Chae Ha hadn’t taken them both home at a relatively early time, she couldn’t have guaranteed her own restraint.
“Why are you so cute, driving people crazy!”
Sitting alone on the dark living room sofa, Heo Young Joo let out a long sigh.
Now, the problem wasn’t about scolding him, but she was so desperate to give a kiss on his chubby cheeks that she was going crazy.
It was almost no different from an obsession.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
