“The menu seems a bit different from what you mentioned earlier?”
“Um, about that…”
Embarrassed, Se Kyung made a sheepish face.
When she had finished her consultation at the hospital and called Tae Jo, Se Kyung had asked him if stirfried octopus was okay for dinner.
Tae Jo had said anything was fine, and until she got into the car, Se Kyung had been considering mixing spicy stirfried octopus with rice.
But when she went to the mart to buy ingredients, she had no choice but to turn her steps toward the meat section instead of the seafood corner.
It was because she strangely felt nauseous.
When she had gone to eat eel before, she had been sensitive to the smell alone. While her mother loved seafood, it seemed the baby in her belly did not.
“I suddenly felt sick.”
“Morning sickness, is it?”
“It could be. When I went to eat eel with Yuna last time, I was the only one who couldn’t eat well.”
“Last time you went to the hospital, you only ate egg sushi and steak? You didn’t even touch the fish.”
Was it? Even so, I didn’t have a queasy feeling back then.
“So that’s why you gave me tuna sushi. Because Se Kyung doesn’t eat it.”
“No, not that.”
If you say so, it makes it seem like you only chose what I don’t like. Se Kyung looked at Tae Jo with a wronged expression.
“More importantly, taste this.”
Se Kyung, with a spoon in her hand, scooped up a spoonful of the soup that had chili oil on top. Tae Jo bowed his head to taste it and then looked up.
“It’s good.”
“Really? Thank goodness. I was worried if the seasoning didn’t suit your taste.”
The fire turned off, Se Kyung moved the dishes to the table. From the side dishes that had already been put into plates to the stirfried pork sprinkled with sesame and the boiling soft tofu stew, a decent Korean table was set up.
“Please enjoy. It’s not much though.”
“That’s plenty. I’ll enjoy it.”
As Tae Jo ate, Se Kyung observed his reaction. She had been worried that the food might not suit his palate, but contrary to her worries, Tae Jo quickly emptied a bowl of rice.
“What did they say at the hospital today?”
“I had an ultrasound. They said the baby is growing well. The gestational sac is growing as it should be for the number of weeks, the yolk sac is round and visible. They said there is no blood clotting. Ah, I have a picture. I’ll show you.”
Se Kyung went into the bedroom and came out with an ultrasound picture and handed it to Tae Jo.
“What is this….”
Looking at the dark picture, Tae Jo scowled as if he had no idea what he was looking at.
“This big part is the gestational sac, and the one inside is the baby. The round thing next to it is the yolk sac.”
Se Kyung went next to Tae Jo and pointed out each part in the ultrasound picture and explained.
Upon confirming the small existence of a baby in the picture, Tae Jo’s brows furrowed even more.
“This small as a bean… is a baby?”
It was a remark that would have hurt the feelings of the 6weekold baby.
At Tae Jo’s reaction, Se Kyung stifled a laugh.
“Yes. In a few weeks, you can see a gummy bear.”
“Gummy bear? What’s that?”
“You know, the bearshaped jelly. When the fetus is around 9 weeks, it looks like a gummy bear. Ah, should I still not tell the director? That you are the father of the baby.”
“We’ll have to if necessary. We can’t hide it forever.”
“What if Director Shim grabs you by the collar?”
“I should be caught once then.”
Tae Jo shrugged his shoulders as if it didn’t matter.
“Ah, and Director Shim asked if you have chosen a prenatal name.”
“Prenatal name… Do you have anything in mind?”
“No, do you have anything in mind? What do you think would be a good name?”
“Umm….”
Tae Jo, rubbing his chin, looked down at the picture. Then he looked straight at Se Kyung and opened his mouth.
“How about ‘Angko’?”
“Angko?”
As if asking what it means, Se Kyung tilted her head.
“Mom is a playful cat, and the one in her belly is an adorable little cat.”
Our little bean is… not a cat.
“It’s not… a cat.”
“Then?”
When Tae Jo asked, Se Kyung mumbled, recalling the small beast she saw in her dream.
“It’s
I was unsure whether to tell him that I had already dreamed of the baby.
“I had a dream when I slept briefly in your office.”
“What dream?”
“A dream in which a small tiger rested its face on my hand. How cute it was when it purred as I stroked its chin.”
“So, that’s why you said it was cute then?”
Se Kyung nodded her head. She slightly hoped for a more formidable name, like the tiger from the dream, rather than a kitten.
“But tigers are also cats.”
“That’s… right?”
“Perfect, then. A cute little kitten.”
“……”
Should I tell Dr. Shim tomorrow that Representative Jin is the father of the child?
Se Kyung quietly placed her hand on her belly.
The moment when the baby tiger was demoted to a kitten.
After dinner, while Tae Jo was installing air purifiers in the bedroom and living room, Se Kyung came into the living room with fruits and tea for dessert.
“Have this first.”
“I’m done. Here’s the manual. If you want to move it, let me know. Don’t move it yourself.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
