After Hyun Ju and Yeon A left, Se Ra, left alone, fell back into worry.
Jin Yu Ha. What should I do about you?
“Haa…, I guess it’s better to face the music sooner rather than later?”
Se Ra, having made up her mind, picked up the phone with determination.
“Yu Ha.”
– Elder sister!
“First, let me apologize. I’m sorry. Yi Hyun…, it’s true he has a woman. And it’s quite a serious relationship. Also, mother has… approved of that woman.”
– …….
“Hello? Are you listening?”
– Elder sister, elder sister…, you’re on my side, right? Huh?
“…I’m sorry.”
– Elder sister, you know everything. You’ve seen how long I’ve loved him! How can you do this? How!!
The end of her voice, filled with intense anger, shook violently.
Se Ra let out a long sigh.
“People’s hearts aren’t something that can be controlled. Especially love, there’s nothing you can do about it, Yu Ha. You know that too. No matter how much you love him alone, Yi Hyun can’t reciprocate those feelings.”
– Sob, hic……
Hearing the pitiful sobbing, Se Ra couldn’t bring herself to mention that Yi Hyun was expecting a child.
“Sigh…, I’m sorry. I’ll apologize on his behalf. I’m really sorry. I feel ashamed that I can’t say anything more to you. But if you truly love Yi Hyun, wish for his happiness.”
– No. I won’t give up! Yi Hyun elder brother is…, mine!
“Yu Ha, Yu Ha? Yu Ha?”
Despite Se Ra’s calls, Yu Ha didn’t respond. Only then did Se Ra check her disconnected phone and place it on the table.
“Haa…, Kim Yi Hyun, that bastard. Just wait until you come to Seoul.”
With a deep sigh, Se Ra clutched her head.
[This is the timeline separator]Yu Ha, who had thrown her phone, was screaming like a madwoman. Uncontrollable rage swept through her, dyeing her mind bright red.
“Why!! What’s lacking in me!! Why!! Whyyy!!”
At that moment, Yu Ha’s door burst open.
“Are you crazy? Where do you think you’re screaming?”
“…Elder brother.”
“This is why Kim Yi Hyun doesn’t like you. You’re stupid, can’t even be modest, and there’s absolutely no charm to be found.”
“What are you trying to say……”
“You, stay put quietly while I find Kim Yi Hyun’s woman. Don’t do anything stupid to mess things up. Got it?”
“I…… What……”
“Have you ever done anything properly until now?”
Have you ever given me a chance?
Yu Ha bit her lip hard and reluctantly nodded.
“I got it……”
“For once, try to be useful this time. Understood, little sister?”
With a scoff and a sneer, Yu Chul took out his vibrating phone from his pocket.
“Oh, yeah. It’s been a while. Club? What if your sister-in-law catches you? Heh, I guess the great Choi Se Ho wouldn’t be afraid of such things. Alright, I’m heading out now.”
With a final contemptuous glance at Yu Ha, Yu Chul turned and left, and Yu Ha closed her room door.
“…We’ll see. Just wait.”
With her eyes burning red, Yu Ha gritted her teeth and muttered.
[This is the timeline separator]Arriving at the club, Yu Chul chuckled as he saw Se Ho, who had already settled in the room, sitting with two drunk women on either side.
“As always, old habits die hard.”
“Don’t talk about others, man.”
“What’s with this? I’m still single, you know?”
“I’m single at heart too.”
“You bastard. Heh, call the waiter and tell him to bring a few more girls. Ah, wait a moment.”
Yu Chul took out his vibrating phone from his pocket.
“Hey, how did it go? Really? Where? Chungcheong Province? Send me a picture.”
“What is it?”
“Finding the woman Kim Yi Hyun is hiding. Damn, it’s such a pain.”
“That guy has a lot of women anyway. The lucky bastard.”
“Those are just girls chasing after him that he controls with a nod. But this time it seems different. There’s a woman Kim Yi Hyun is crazy about. That’s why the engagement with my sister broke off.”
“Oh~ Jin Yu Ha became a dog chasing chickens?”
“Chasing for so long and still couldn’t catch a man. Tsk,”
Yu Chul irritably poured liquor into his glass. At that moment, his phone vibrated again as a picture was transmitted.
It was sent by an employee he had assigned to track Yi Hyun’s whereabouts for Han Manager.
The picture the employee sent showed Ha Jun standing next to Yi Hyun at the entrance of Bok Seon’s house, smiling as they saw off Han Manager.
“What’s this, was this guy’s taste such a plain woman?”
“Really? Let me see.”
Se Ho snatched Yu Chul’s phone, giggling. But when he saw Ha Jun in the picture, he cursed.
“This bitch, Lee Ha Jun!”
“What? You know this woman?”
“I know her. Very well. Ha…, so that’s why he interfered back then. That bastard!”
Se Ho gritted his teeth so hard you could hear it. Seeing this, Yu Chul clicked his tongue and gestured to the women sitting and sipping liquor.
“Hey, you two get out. Quickly!”
At his fierce gaze, the women stumbled to their feet and staggered out. When the door closed and they were left alone, Yu Chul spoke to Se Ho, who was still grinding his teeth.
“Now, explain. Who is this woman? Is she from some bar or something?”
Se Ho looked at his friend Yu Chul, who was sitting with his arms crossed, and curled his lips.
His murky eyes gleamed with greed and anger.
[This is the timeline separator]The next morning, Yi Hyun, who had suddenly gone out alone saying he had somewhere to go, returned and left Yun Woo with Bok Seon before suggesting an outing to Ha Jun.
“Let’s go out together.”
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
Yi Hyun didn’t tell her the destination, just grinned and pulled Ha Jun along. When they came out of the house, a taxi was waiting for them, though it wasn’t clear when he had called it.
“We have my car, why did you call a taxi?”
“Gripping the steering wheel is not good for the wrist.”
Ha Jun smiled brightly at Yi Hyun’s firm words. How does this man always choose such sweet words? He really seemed like a completely different person from the Kim Yi Hyun she knew before.
“Let’s go.”
“Alright.”
Yi Hyun opened the back door of the taxi and escorted Ha Jun in. The taxi carrying the two stopped right in front of the county office.
“Hm? This is the county office, isn’t it?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Why?”
“I have some documents to get.”
Yi Hyun held Ha Jun’s hand and entered the county office.
Arriving in front of the civil service room, Yi Hyun stopped among the passing people and took something out of his pocket.
It was the proposal ring that Yi Hyun had carefully chosen before.
“Actually, I bought this intending to propose on the day you disappeared, but it took too long to find its owner. It’s not a fancy restaurant or a dashing suit, but I couldn’t find a better proposal spot than here.”
Yi Hyun slowly knelt in front of Ha Jun. Not only the passersby but even the staff inside the civil service room were looking at the two with interest, their eyes twinkling.
Yi Hyun’s handsome lips, looking up at Ha Jun from below, slowly parted.
“Lee Ha Jun. I’ll spend my life only looking at you, cherishing you, loving you, and making you happy to death. So, will you marry me?”
“Ah…!”
With a voice that had a low resonance and was pleasant to hear, Yi Hyun conveyed his feelings to Ha Jun in a rather precise and loud voice, as if declaring it to the people around.
An interesting sight never seen before in this small rural town.
Small and large cheers erupted around them at the proposal scene of this beautiful couple that looked like a painting.
Ha Jun’s large eyes instantly filled with emotion. And she immediately nodded her head vigorously.
“Yes. Let’s get married.”
“Woohoo~~!!”
“Congratulations!!”
“Oh my~ What is this~ Live well!”
The congratulatory voices and applause of strangers rang out loudly. Soon, Yi Hyun gently took Ha Jun’s shyly extended hand.
A shining diamond ring was carefully slipped onto her fourth finger.
Yi Hyun, who had been quietly looking at the ring shining on her snow-white hand, slowly pressed his lips firmly on the back of her hand.
Once again, people’s applause and cheers burst out, blessing the couple.
Yi Hyun, smiling, stood up and entered the civil service room holding Ha Jun’s hand, immediately taking a number ticket.
“We’ll have to have the wedding in Seoul, so let’s just register the marriage today.”
“Ah! So that’s why we came here!”
“Yes, and we need to register Yun Woo’s birth too.”
This time, Yi Hyun took out an envelope from his chest.
“I’ve got Yun Woo’s birth certificate, and I’ve already filled out the witness section of the marriage registration form. I’ve also filled out the birth registration form. Now, my bride and Yun Woo’s mother, Lee Ha Jun, just needs to write her name and resident registration number here and submit it.”
Ha Jun, who had taken out the documents from the envelope, admired the meticulously recorded contents.
“Wow….. You’re very well-prepared, aren’t you? The witnesses are our grandmother and…, Park Gab Nyeo?”
“The grandmother from upstairs.”
“Pfft!!”
“I’ve been busy since morning. Bringing the marriage registration form and birth registration form, filling in the blanks, and getting signatures for the witness sections.”
“My husband is amazing.”
As Ha Jun gave a thumbs up, Yi Hyun couldn’t control his smile and grinned happily. It was truly the most satisfying word in the world.
My husband.
My beloved wife.
Ha Jun spread the marriage registration form and birth registration form on the table and, taking a pen, started filling in the blanks one by one in the documents that Yi Hyun had already mostly completed.
“My wife’s handwriting is as pretty as her face.”
“Is that so? I’m done!”
Just as Ha Jun picked up the completed documents, the bell rang – Ding dong! – and it was their turn.
The two held hands tightly as they stood in front of the counter. The clerk at the counter, who had already witnessed Yi Hyun’s proposal, greeted the two with a bright smile.
“Congratulations. The bride is so beautiful and the groom is so handsome. Be happy!”
“Thank you. We’re here to register our marriage!”

One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
