If he hadn’t remembered, she would have kept it hidden and continued to pretend to know nothing. If only she hadn’t gotten pregnant.
“When were you planning to tell me about this?”
Tae Jo nodded towards his desk. Se Kyung’s gaze followed his.
On the desk lay the pregnancy test she had used to confirm her pregnancy that morning.
“I was planning to tell you soon. I only confirmed it this morning.”
“Is it my child?”
Se Kyung inhaled sharply at the direct question. She bit her lip, looked awkward, and then looked up at Tae Jo.
“Do you think… it’s your child?”
“Who else could it be? I just told you. I heard from the new manager that Se Kyung doesn’t have a boyfriend.”
“The manager doesn’t monitor my every move…”
“So, are you saying it’s not mine? Then tell me who it is.”
“If I tell you?”
“We need to have a meeting together. This isn’t something that can just be overlooked.”
Tae Jo cracked his knuckles with a clatter.
Se Kyung swallowed the words, ‘Then you should look in the mirror and have a meeting…’ to herself.
“Can we talk about the pregnancy later? I haven’t even confirmed it at the hospital yet……”
“Director Song says if it’s that clear, the chances of being pregnant are 99%?”
“……Still.”
It was clear she wanted to delay this topic by any means possible. After all, if she had learned about her pregnancy that morning, she would have been shocked too.
Tae Jo seemed to step back a little, shaking his head.
“Alright. Let’s go to the hospital first, then we’ll talk. Have you booked a place?”
“No. I still need to look for one.”
“Well, wait a moment.”
Tae Jo, who had risen from his seat, walked to his desk. Then he searched for a number on his phone and pressed the call button.
“Ah, it’s me. I’m trying to make a reservation for tonight.”
Se Kyung’s eyes widened like a rabbit’s.
Reservation? Is he making an appointment with an obstetrician?
“I’ll be there around 7. Yeah, please keep it just between us and Dr. Shim. Thanks for the discretion.”
After glancing at his watch, he turned his gaze to Se Kyung.
“Ah, to check if she’s pregnant. We’ll do a blood test, and we’ll decide on the ultrasound after discussing with the patient. Yes, I’ll contact you again before we leave.”
After finishing his call, Tae Jo approached Se Kyung. She sipped her lukewarm citron tea.
“I’ve booked a hospital. Let’s go together in the evening.”
“If you tell me where it is, I can go alone……”
“That won’t do. I should hear the results too.”
“Then, can I go to the hospital at the right time? I have other things to do……”
“I thought you had no schedule today.”
When did he check my schedule? Se Kyung was desperately searching for an escape route.
“Ah. I have a script to review. I left everything in the conference room. I’ll go and check it out……”
As Se Kyung was about to rise, Tae Jo pressed down on her shoulder.
“Stay seated. I’ll bring all of it here.”
Her squirming hips fell back onto the sofa.
When Tae Jo opened the office door, Je Hoon’s face appeared, as if he had come looking for Se Kyung.
“Ah, Mr. Jin, hello. I heard Se Kyung was here……”
“Yes, she’s here. But she has somewhere to go with me this evening. Why, is there something urgent?”
“No. I was going to drive her to the hotel after she finished reviewing the script. But she wasn’t in the conference room……”
“When she’s done, I’ll drive her, so don’t worry about that. More importantly, there’s a script in the conference room that Se Kyung was looking at. Can you bring it here?”
“To your office, Mr. Jin?”
Je Hoon rolled his big eyes and looked at Se Kyung in the room. His face was worried, as if something had happened without him knowing.
“Mr. Je Hoon.”
“Yes? Ah, okay. I’ll bring it right away.”
Under the silent pressure to hurry, Je Hoon nodded and ran to the conference room. Then he brought the script Se Kyung had been looking at and put it on the table.
“You’ve worked hard. Since Se Kyung has no schedule today, if you don’t have anything special to do, you should leave work early.”
“Yes…….”
Jehun looked at Se Kyung with a face as if wondering if that was really okay.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry about me. You’re not on a schedule, so leave work early and rest.”
“Got it, sis. Oh, and please contact me when you take out your luggage from the hotel.”
Once Se Kyung agreed, Jehun said goodbye to Tae Jo and left the office.
Thud, the door closed and Tae Jo turned to look at Se Kyung.
“Do you need anything else?”
“No.”
“Then at least look at that until we go to the hospital. If there’s something you want to eat in the meantime, let me know.”
As Tae Jo walked towards the desk, Se Kyung picked up the script booklet. At the sound of her jittery mouse click, she stole a glance at Tae Jo.
They bought some time, but what to do now.
As she quietly sighed while looking at Tae Jo’s face halfhidden by the monitor, Se Kyung was at a loss.
The sound of flipping pages had stopped at some point. Tae Jo, who was looking at the monitor, tilted his torso to look at Se Kyung.
Se Kyung, who had been diligently reading the script until a while ago, was nodding off.
The book seemed precariously on the verge of slipping from her hand, and following the painfully bent neck, her upper body was also leaning dangerously as if it would slide off.
If you’re sleepy, why not lie down comfortably and sleep.
It was time for the evening sun to set. Tae Jo quietly got up, took his suit jacket off the coat rack, and walked towards Se Kyung.
He put the book on the table and gently laid her head, which was sinking lower and lower, on the sofa.
After lifting her legs onto the sofa, he covered Se Kyung’s body with his jacket. Then he sat at the table and looked down at Se Kyung’s sleeping face.
“……”
Se Kyung, who was deeply asleep, stirred slightly. He brushed his hand across her face as he watched Se Kyung sleep peacefully.
Oh dear, what to do with this mischievous cat.
Though he didn’t show it much, Tae Jo was quite taken aback when he found out about Se Kyung’s pregnancy.
He had just confirmed that Se Kyung and he had spent the night together. The news of her pregnancy came while he was debating whether to cover up the events of that day.
But on the other hand, he was curious about how Se Kyung would act if she was pregnant.
Would she hide this too, or tell me honestly and demand responsibility. Or even……
He even assumed the worst, but seeing her face turn pale after being caught, he didn’t feel like getting angry or reproaching her any further.
Rather, what worried him at the moment was what would happen in the future.
Se Kyung would confirm her pregnancy at the hospital and decide whether to have the baby or not. But if she decided to have it……
“Maybe……, there’s only one solution after all.”
Tae Jo, who murmured in a low voice, stroked Se Kyung’s hair.

The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
