Taekyung’s eyes were filled with regret. It was a gaze that could make anyone’s heart ache. Seoha believed him. She believed in his words, that he had been thinking only of her.
Thinking of how difficult it must have been for Taekyung, Seoha’s heart ached as well.
“Sorry for disappearing without a word.”
“You must have had your reasons. If you thought you were pregnant, you wouldn’t have disappeared alone. You would have found a way to keep me by your side and not let you go through it alone. You must have had a hard time too. I’m sorry.”
Taekyung’s words made Seoha think of Minjun. She couldn’t help but be moved to tears.
She had to go to the hospital alone, secretly. When sitting alone in the hospital corridor, waiting for treatment, she couldn’t help but envy the couples who came together. She had to swallow tears until her throat felt sore.
She had to endure labor pains alone, take an ambulance to the hospital, and give birth to the child. Although Myeonghoon was there, it was sorrowful and pitiful to give birth without the father. Tears welled up at the thought of those times.
“So, why has the engagement story still been circulating even after five years?”
“That’s not my intention. It’s Dr. Jin Cheol-wook; he wants to create a connection with the HY Group through Yuna and me.”
Seoha let out a small sigh.
Indeed, Taekyung and she lived in different worlds.
Marriage and love were separate issues in the world of conglomerates and the upper class, where marriage was merely a contract.
Could she handle him? Could she handle Taekyung, who was entangled in such a complicated situation?
“So, I tried to cut it off. I called a reporter today for an interview. Yuna and I have nothing, and it’s only you. You are my woman.”
At Taekyung’s declaration of “my woman” with all his might, Seoha lowered her head.
Unable to withstand the storm of emotions rushing in, tears flowed quietly.
“And, I said Minjun is my child. It doesn’t matter who the biological father is. Minjun considers me his father, and I’ll raise him as my son. No matter what happens, we’ll be together.”
When Taekyung said he would raise Minjun as his son, a heavy pain, as if something was caught in her throat, struck Seoha’s neck.
Could she hate Taekyung, who decided to raise him as his son without knowing he was his biological child?
Could there be a dad who cared more for Minjun than this?
“Huhuhuk.”
“I’m sorry, truly sorry. It’s all my fault. Even if I apologize a million times, the mistakes caused by my foolishness won’t disappear, but for the remaining days and throughout my life, I’ll live repaying them. Please let me stay by your side.”
Taekyung was truly putting everything on the line and clinging to Seoha.
Taekyung carefully held Seoha’s hand and pleaded.
Taekyung’s thumb wiped away the tears flowing down her white cheek.
Seoha realized that she couldn’t leave Taekyung after all.
Could she escape and not regret it? No matter how many times she asked, the answer would be regret.
Ultimately, the place she would return to for Minjun and for herself was Taekyung.
She didn’t want to show her son Minjun a mother who kept running away.
After crying for a while, Seoha finally met Taekyung’s eyes.
Taekyung gently wiped Seoha’s cheek and softly kissed her eyes.
“Even your crying face is beautiful. What should I do?”
“Pfft. You’re only saying nice things when you want to.”
“I deserve to die. Really. Should I confess my sins?”
Seoha, not wanting to hurt Taekyung’s heart, lightly punched him with her small fist.
“Ouch, if hitting me makes you feel better, hit me as much as you want.”
“Oh dear!”
Seoha delicately cast her eyes down. His large, warm hand wrapped around Seoha’s small head. He pressed his cheek against her forehead and held her tightly.
She felt her heart flutter at the steady thump-thump sound coming from Taekyung’s chest, a familiar heartbeat.
Back in Taekyung’s embrace, the place they circled back to. There were so many obstacles preventing them. A sigh escaped.
Even if Yuna, Seungae, and Hyeonyoung were understandable, who could the mysterious man be?
These were things she couldn’t fathom. She never answered Taekyung’s calls, not even once. There were no missed calls from Taekyung on her phone. What on earth happened?
“Hey, oppa.”
“Yeah.”
“But, who was that man who claimed to have a connection with me?”
“Do you have any guesses?”
“None. I’ve never answered your calls, so I thought you had given up on me instead.”
Surprised, Taekyung looked down at Seoha in his arms.
“Me? How could I do that when you’re my owner?”
“I haven’t contacted you, and there were no calls from you either. Besides, I received that photo.”
“Well, this is so unfair. But, about that man. I think I know him. I heard that voice not long ago.”
“What?”
Seoha’s eyes widened at Taekyung’s words. Taekyung looked serious and worried.
“Choi Hyeongjin. It was his voice.”
“What are you talking about?”
“He must have taken my calls and used some tricks, like marking my number as spam.”
Seoha’s pupils trembled with fear. How far could Hyeongjin go with his actions?
How was such a thing possible?
Taekyung’s complexion worsened as he looked at her.
“Did I bring up unnecessary things?”
“No, no. It’s just that it’s him. I’m worried.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you and Minjun with my life.”
Taekyung gently stroked Seoha’s head.
Seoha, thankful for such Taekyung, hugged Taekyung’s waist tightly with her stiff arms.
Taekyung flinched for a moment.
“It’s dangerous like this. I’m barely holding back.”
“I never told you to hold back, did I?”
When Seoha jokingly spoke with mischievous eyes, flames flickered in Taekyung’s eyes.
“Can you handle that kind of talk?”
“As far as I know, Taekyung doesn’t succumb to provocations like this.”
“If it were another woman, maybe, but if it’s Kim Seoha’s provocation, anytime.”
Seoha’s face turned as red as it could be seen even in the darkness.
As Seoha’s flushed face became apparent to Taekyung, he smiled slightly.
It was incredibly adorable.
Taekyung spoke carefully.
“Seoha, how about going to Seoul with me?”
“Even if you don’t say, I’m planning to return to Seoul.”

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.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
