“You thought I wouldn’t remember?”
“I thought there might be a chance. But actually, I thought you’d remember everything. You even called my name that night. Do you know how surprised I was when we met in the morning?”
Se Kyung, shaking as if the dizzy moment had come back to her, pressed her trembling chest.
“I didn’t know. Back then, I didn’t even remember sleeping with Ms. Se Kyung.”
Tae Jo looked at Se Kyung absently. Her lips, pursed in tension, twitched adorably as she exhaled.
“If you won’t marry me, what are you planning to do from now on? Is there anyone who knows that Ms. Se Kyung is pregnant?”
“I will continue with my scheduled activities, but I plan to reduce work in the future. When my stomach gets big, I’m considering staying either in Jeju Island or abroad. The people who know about my pregnancy are the President and….”
Se Kyung, whose voice trailed off, looked at Tae Jo with a suddenly serious face.
“Manager Song… must know, right?” For a while, she was shocked by the fact that Tae Jo had known everything all along.
Hadn’t it been Manager Song who picked up the pregnancy test that flew out of her bag and handed it to Tae Jo?
“He probably knows. He was even 99 percent sure about the pregnancy.”
“Who the baby is….”
“He wouldn’t know that.”
Se Kyung groaned and held her forehead.
For now, Manager Song wouldn’t blurt out the fact that I’m pregnant, but when I thought about it, there were more than a couple of things that needed to be cleaned up.
It seemed like she would have to take a break from work for at least a year, but what should she tell her manager?
“If you just stop overthinking and marry me, everything will be resolved in no time.”
Tae Jo, who got up from his seat, walked around the island table and stood next to Se Kyung.
He took her hand that was holding her forehead.
“Doesn’t that make things more complicated?”
“Can anything get more complicated than it is now?”
At Tae Jo’s counterquestion, Se Kyung laughed weakly.
“I’ve heard that your family is quite a big deal. Will they accept me easily?”
“They’re even choosing my match these days, so if I bring you as my bridetobe, they will probably be pleased.”
They were not particularly fussy people, so if I brought Se Kyung as my spousetobe, they would not object.
However, whether they would be entirely pleased to learn that Se Kyung was pregnant was another matter.
“How about this then, since you said you don’t want to marry me right now?”
With eyes asking if there was a better way, Se Kyung looked at Tae Jo.
He pulled her hand towards him and pressed his lips against it.
Tae Jo’s breath tickled her skin. He looked at her and whispered.
“How about we date instead of getting married?”
“Thank you. You’ve worked hard.”
Se Kyung closed the front door after sending off the deliverymen. She had been busy since the morning as the furniture she had ordered had been delivered.
With the arrival of a new bed, a writing desk, and a dining table for six, the house that had been empty now felt a bit fuller.
Se Kyung laid the bedding she had bought in advance on the bed and collapsed onto the mattress. The bed was large and wide enough for her to stretch out her arms.
“Instead of marriage…”
A proposal to date.
Se Kyung blinked up at the ceiling. It felt unreal. It was even more so because Tae Jo wasn’t there when she woke up in the morning.
Se Kyung rolled over and tightly hugged the blanket. She then brought her lips to the hand where Tae Jo’s lips had touched.
Had everything he said yesterday been sincere?
Tae Jo had said that he liked her more than she thought. That’s why he had proposed marriage.
‘You seem to still be unsure, Se Kyung. So let’s start with dating. It’s perfect for getting to know each other before marriage.’
That was what Tae Jo, who had shifted from marriage to dating, had said to Se Kyung.
It was indeed a better proposal than getting married on the spot. The thought of what might happen in a few months was worrying though.
Hmm, hmmm.
Se Kyung lifted her head at the vibrating sound above her. Her phone, placed on the small table, was shaking.
Reaching out her arm, she grabbed her phone and checked the caller ID, then promptly sat up.
“Yes, Mr. Jin.”
Are you awake?
As if he could see her actions, a laughterfilled voice came from the other end.
“I’m awake. What time is it? When did you leave?”
Me? Around five?
“You stayed until then? Without sleeping at all?”
I closed my eyes for a bit. Right next to you, Se Kyung.
“Ah……”
Se Kyung ran her hand down her face with a sigh.
The only blanket had been draped over me. So, did he just doze off sitting up?
“You should have woken me up.”
How could I wake you when you were sleeping so sweetly? But did the bed arrive?
“Yes. It came this morning.”
That’s too bad. If it hadn’t come today, I was planning to take you to my house.
Why does he keep trying to take me to his house?
Se Kyung looked around at the newly arrived bed. It seemed big enough for two to lie down, but…
Hmm, should I set up a separate guest room like Mr. Jin?
What about lunch? It looks like you’re free. Are you going to stay at home this afternoon?
“I was just about to eat. I’m thinking about calling Dr. Shim this afternoon and going to the hospital.”
Should I pick you up?
“No. I’ll go by myself today.”
Then contact me when your appointment is over. I’ll go home.
“You’re coming again…?”
He must be tired from lack of sleep.
What’s with this reluctant reaction? Do you dislike my coming?
“No, it’s not that…”
You’re too much for just one day into dating. You were so eager when you said you liked me.
Even without a video call, she could almost picture Jin Tae Jo’s teasing expression.
Se Kyung grumbled with a sour face.
“…you were the one who rushed in when you said you liked me.”
What?
“What? I didn’t say anything.”
…….
Se Kyung retorted cheekily. Tae Jo couldn’t retort, either because he didn’t hear her grumble or because he had no words.
Suppressing her laughter, Se Kyung changed the subject.
“Since I had my way yesterday, I’ll prepare a delicious dinner for you if you come today. Is there anything you want to eat?”
Just make whatever you want, Se Kyung. I’m not picky.
“Okay. Then I’ll contact you again in the evening.”
Alright. See you in the evening.
After hanging up the phone, Se Kyung giggled. She didn’t think she’d ever have this kind of conversation with Mr. Jin.
“Ah, where did I put that business card.”
Getting off the bed, Se Kyung headed for the dressing room.
Se Kyung, who found Dr. Shim’s business card in her bag, began to dial her number.
