A low voice hummed. When someone touched her cheek, feeling the sensation, large hands gently enveloped her own.
“Ah.”
The familiar scent of cologne lingered around her nose. As she lifted her heavy eyelids, Taejo’s face appeared in her blurred vision.
“When… What time is it now?”
Still half-asleep, Segyeong mumbled, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Taejo glanced at his watch and then tapped Segyeong’s cheek.
“Six o’clock. If you’re sleepy, go back to sleep.”
“No, it’s okay. I’ve slept a lot already, and if I sleep more now, I won’t be able to sleep at night.”
With half-closed eyes, Segyeong replied. Moistening her dry lips, she remembered the voice she had heard a while ago and asked Taejo.
“Who came here? I heard someone else’s voice.”
“Woohyun and Sukju came together.”
“Really?”
Segyeong, with her head raised, looked at where Taejo was pointing. Sukju, sitting on the sofa, was shaking hands with Segyeong.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. How did the three of you come together?”
“Both of them were worried about you. Sukju didn’t have anything special today, so he came to the company.”
“I see.”
Segyeong got up with a grumble. Taejo supported her from the side.
“More importantly, give me the phone.”
“Why?”
“I’m bored. I want to contact other people. And…”
“Do you want to read the news?”
Segyeong, revealing her inner thoughts, smiled slyly as if asking him to look at her.
“I roughly know what’s going on. If you turn on the TV channel here, you can see entertainment news at least. But I won’t read the comments. It’s frustrating without a phone to call you, Taejo.”
“…”
Even with Segyeong’s request, Taejo remained indifferent. Segyeong, grabbing his arm, whispered in Taejo’s ear.
“Give it to me, Taejo oppa.”
“Ha.”
A forced laugh escaped Taejo’s lips. He had said he would save that title, and this mischievous cat uses it at a time like this.
“Even if I give it to you now, you can’t use it right away. The battery is not charged.”
“Charger…”
“I’ll go buy one soon.”
Taejo, who slightly pinched Segyeong’s nose, moved away. He took Segyeong’s phone from the closet in the corner of the room.
Oh, I should have known it was there and checked it.
“What about your mother-in-law?”
“I told her to go home and rest. It’s pitiful for her to sleep on the sofa for two days.”
“Good call. What about dinner? I ordered separate meals because you were sleeping earlier.”
“I just got up, so I’m not thinking about it. What about Senior Sukju and Director Kang?”
“We’ll go out later and eat heartily. Kang Manager said it’s strange that ‘mother-in-law’ is coming out of Jin Taejo’s mouth.”
“Good. I don’t have any thoughts on dinner. What I want to ask is…”
“Uh? What is it?”
Touching the phone in her hand, Segyeong asked Taejo.
“Do you owe Oyeori?”
“Owe?”
As if confirming whether what he heard was correct, Taejo tilted his head.
“What debt? Are you talking about money?”
“It doesn’t seem to be about money…”
Segyeong also hesitated to speak with certainty. When Taejo looked at Woohyun, he also seemed strange, shrugging his shoulders.
“If it’s not money, what kind of debt are you talking about? Like, a life debt?”
“I can’t be sure, but anyway, it seems something like that.”
“Something like that? No way. Taejo isn’t the type to owe anyone. But why suddenly such thoughts?”
“When I was drowning.”
Segyeong paused for a moment and looked up at Taejo.
“At that time, Oyeori said that.”
Woohyun glanced at Taejo. In fact, he wanted to ask about it at that time, but Segyeong’s physical condition hadn’t recovered, so no one had come forward to ask.
“Hey, Segyeong. We were curious too, but can you tell us what happened that day?”
Woohyun, who had risen from the sofa, approached Segyeong.
“…”
Segyeong grasped the blanket. When the cold water of the pool and the sharp pain piercing her stomach came to mind, she trembled slightly.
“If it’s hard to say, you don’t have to.”
Taejo grabbed Segyeong’s hand that way.
“No.”
Taking a deep breath, Segyeong placed her hand on her belly. A small vibration felt in the palm brought a sense of relief.
“After having lunch, I was walking around that area for a while. There were almost no people because other filming teams were having meals, and I was relieved because Oyeori wasn’t visible. But suddenly, someone appeared out of nowhere and blocked my way.”
“…”
“I exchanged a few words with that person, and as I tried to avoid Oyeori and go, my hand was grabbed. Then, I tried to do this, saying that Taejo wouldn’t be interested even if I did such a thing, and he seemed to be immersed in the fantasy of our childhood friendship.”
“And then?”
“I said that I was saying that because I didn’t know anything. Taejo said he owed a big debt to himself. He said it’s a debt that can’t be repaid even in a lifetime.”
“Hmm.”
Woohyun scratched his chin and groaned. No matter how much he thought about it, nothing came to mind, and he turned his head as if he had given up.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

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.]
