Her heart, which had seemed to calm down, began to beat anxiously again.

It was overwhelming to be in one place with Yeong Seon, Hye Kyeong, and even Su Jin.

The chairmen of both sides were absent, but other than that, it reminded her of the day of the premarriage meeting.

“Our child is very lacking. But please look at her kindly.”
“You’re not lacking! To my eyes, our In Ho’s partner is only beautiful. Don’t worry about such things, motherinlaw.”

With a bright smile, Yeong Seon continued, and Hye Kyeong gently stroked her own back.

It was enough to appear as a good motherdaughter relationship.

However, to Su Yeon, even that felt like silent pressure.

Although she was forcing herself to smile, she was nervous.

It felt like she was deceiving everyone, including In Ho and the adults who would become her inlaws, so she wasn’t at ease for even a moment.

As a result, as soon as she returned home, she had to search for and take digestive medicine.

For several days, the feeling of discomfort did not subside.

Because of that, she had suffered for several days.

Su Yeon clearly remembered the feeling from that time, and she was already dizzy.
“Here. Ah, I’ve ordered food, but is there anything else you want to eat?”
In Ho, having a firmly closed door in front of his nose, turned around.

It seemed he had asked in advance, because once he entered the room, it would be difficult to speak comfortably pretending to be Su Yeon.

However, Su Yeon did not respond, only showing an extremely anxious expression.
“You, why are you like this?”
In Ho tried to offer words out of concern, but Su Yeon remained silent.
“Why are you like this? Are you not feeling well?”
In Ho again urged Su Yeon, but there was no change.

Seemingly lost in thought, Su Yeon only chewed her lips without regaining her senses.

In Ho exhaled deeply and looked around.

Only after confirming that there was no one passing by did he look at Su Yeon.
“Choi Su Yeon.”
“…”
“Su Yeon, look at me.”
In Ho shook Su Yeon.

Only then did her wandering eyes stop in one place.
“Why are you like this? Is something wrong? Or are you hurting somewhere?”
While asking Su Yeon, In Ho moved his thin eyes busily.

It didn’t seem like she had gotten hurt or anything.
“It’s nothing…”
“It’s not nothing. Your face is pale.”
In Ho wiped the sweat beads on Su Yeon’s forehead.
“Well, just… Our bodies have changed, so I thought we should meet the adults, so I’m nervous. That’s why I guess.”
Su Yeon awkwardly smiled as she spoke. It was a plausible statement, but In Ho couldn’t smooth the furrowed brows.

Apparently, facing her birth family seemed uncomfortable.

Especially since their bodies had changed, it wasn’t incomprehensible for her to react this way.

What can he do to help relieve Su Yeon’s tension even a little bit?

While he was seriously considering, Su Yeon, who had shrugged her shoulders once, licked her lips with a much more composed expression.
“I’m fine, so let’s go in. They must be waiting.”
At the end of her words, Su Yeon gave a faint smile.

Looking at her expression, nothing seemed wrong, but In Ho still didn’t feel at ease.

However, as Su Yeon said, two adults from each family were waiting for them, so they couldn’t delay any longer.

He had no choice but to nod his head and stand at the door, but he heard a sound of deep breathing from behind.

That sank heavily onto In Ho’s shoulders.

In Ho followed Su Yeon, let out a deep breath and looked back.
“You say you’re okay. But you don’t seem okay at all, huh.”
“Excuse me?”
“I’m talking about you. You’re really nervous right now. It’s obvious you’re not okay.”
Under In Ho’s frank gaze, Su Yeon blinked her moist eyes, lost for words.
“It’s okay. You don’t need to be nervous. I’m right here.”
In Ho gently grabbed Su Yeon’s hand and spoke calmly.
“Do whatever makes you comfortable. If you have something to say, say it, no matter what, just do as you like.”
“……”
“If there is something to handle because of it, I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry.”
In Ho ended with a slight smile. Then he grabbed Su Yeon’s wrist.

Now it was time to really go into the room.
“Choi Su Yeon, are we really going in now?”
As he gave a warning to the nervous Su Yeon, he heard the sound of her taking a deep breath again.

Why did that sound so adorable at this moment?

Without realizing it, In Ho chuckled and forcefully turned the handle of the closed door.

And he was just about to apologize for leaving his seat for a long time.
“Oh, Mr. Seo has arrived?”
Hyegyeong’s excited voice leaked out from the open door.

As if out of habit, his mouth twitched into a formal smile.

Suddenly, he felt warmth spreading between his fingers.

Surprised, In Ho’s eyes slowly moved down.

Where his gaze stopped, there was a man and woman’s hand tightly intertwined.

Just a moment ago, he had been holding Su Yeon’s wrist onesidedly.
“I’m sorry. I was a bit late.”
As if it was nothing, Su Yeon held his hand like a man and pretended to be Seo In Ho, she handed out a cool greeting.
