As they went outside, they saw a taxi with a sign indicating it was a model taxi.

The driver, an enthusiastic and fairly young man, had a sign indicating he was a model taxi driver.

“The driver will take you to Seoul?”

“Oh, yes!”

“We need to go as quickly as possible because it’s urgent.”

“Since it’s Seoul, you should consider the taxi fare as a round trip…”

Before the taxi driver could finish, Do-jun took out his wallet.

Without any hesitation, he handed over a check and some cash.

“Is this enough?”

“This much?”

“We need to go quickly because it’s urgent.”

“I’ll drive you quickly and safely. Get in!”

The taxi driver took three times the amount he intended to ask for and grinned confidently due to having a good rest during the day.

“Where are you headed? Can you provide the address?”
Do-jun gave the address of Hyun-woo’s hospital.

The taxi, after confirming the address, gradually increased its speed and started to run.

“But, um… I’ve seen your face somewhere.”

Since he came out after washing at the hotel, his bangs covered Do-jun’s forehead.

Do-jun made a sarcastic remark to the taxi driver, who had a confused expression while looking at the rearview mirror.

“Focus on driving.”

“Yes.”

The warning, uttered in a low tone, was stern.

Driving at night and covering the highway all night, an accident would be a big problem.

Do-jun was now a father of one and Hae-joo’s husband.

As the head of the household, he had a reason to stay safe, so he took care of himself differently than before.

“If you’re sleepy, can we turn on the radio?”

Do-jun looked out the window without responding.

Manager Song, noticing the embarrassed taxi driver, signaled him to do so.

At that moment, Do-jun’s phone rang.

It was Hyun-sung’s call, so he quickly answered.

“Yeah, Hyun-sung!”

We just arrived at the hospital, and my sister went in for an examination.

“Is there any other issue?”

She seems to be okay for now.

“Okay. Hang in there a little longer.”

I’ll call you again.

Thankfully, Hyun-sung was with Hae-joo, so Do-jun felt relieved.

He could only pray that they would arrive at the hospital before the baby was born.

“President, everything should be fine.”

“That’s what should happen.”

The taxi driver, overhearing the conversation, again realized the urgency of Do-jun’s situation.

Feeling a sense of duty to arrive quickly, he accelerated.

Moreover, he wanted to drop off the strange passenger carried at night as soon as possible.

Inside the taxi, late-night radio broadcasts softly echoed. Everyone was silent when Do-jun’s phone rang again.

“Hyun-sung!”

President, my brother is taking over. Just a moment.

“Oh, okay.”

Beyond the phone, there was a rattling noise.

Do-jun, who was extremely tense, bit his lower lip when Hyun-woo answered the phone.

President Park?

“Yes, please tell me.”

I just checked the condition of the mother, and the cervix is already dilated to 4cm.

“That means…”

Labor has already started. It might be faster than expected.

“Ugh, it happened like this when I wasn’t around.”

We’ll take good care of it at the hospital, so don’t worry too much and come up safely.

“Thank you.”

I’ll change the phone for my sister. Just a moment.

The chaotic noise heard through the phone made Do-jun even more anxious.

Already, the fact that labor had started caused his hands to sweat.

Mr. Do-jun.

“Yeah, Hae-joo? Is it hurting a lot?”

It’s bearable for now. It hurts, then gets better, like that.

“They said there’s a painless injection for when contractions come. Should I ask them to give it to you?”

The painless injection is given later. You’ll handle it, right?

“I’ll get there as quickly as possible. I’m sorry.”

Just come safely.

Fortunately, Hae-joo’s voice was calm.

Feeling somewhat relieved, Do-jun ended the call, wiping his chest.
“Do you know about painless injections, and have you studied quite a bit about pregnancy and childbirth?” Manager Song asked with a smirk.

In anticipation of the birth of his first child, Do-jun, who was at a loss, even looked cute in his eyes.

“I looked up books and videos, but it still doesn’t feel real.”

“Once you actually give birth, you might think it was good when the baby was in your belly.”

“Is it really like that?”

“After giving birth for the first time, your day and night will change, and your lifestyle will revolve around the baby.”

Manager Song was raising siblings.

As a senior who had already walked the path of parenting, he comforted the worried Do-jun.

“Young parenting junior, please come back alive.”

“Oh, really!”

Do-jun frowned at Manager Song’s teasing.

Having heard that mothers often experience postpartum depression after childbirth, he was worried.

Even in the midst of this, the taxi sped along the highway.

During the long journey, the taxi driver’s face gradually turned yellow.

He kept glancing at Do-jun and finally opened his dying voice.

“Excuse me over there.”

“What is it?”

“I’m sorry, but my dinner seems to have upset my stomach. I’ll stop by the rest area for a moment.”

“Okay.”

Fortunately, there was a rest area nearby, so they temporarily left the highway.

As soon as the taxi driver turned off the engine, he rushed to the bathroom.

Do-jun, who bought coffee, waited in front of the taxi.

But the taxi driver hadn’t thought about coming back at all.

“Why isn’t he coming?”

“I’ll go to the bathroom.”

When the two were going to the bathroom, the taxi driver had always entered the bathroom stall first.

However, when he came out much later, Manager Song called him from the bathroom.

“Taxi driver?”

“Yes, I’m here.”

“Are we still far?”

“I’m sorry. It seems like I have indigestion.”

“Indigestion?”

It became awkward.

Manager Song checked the time, and when the taxi driver came out, he called him.

“Is it possible to drive?”

“Just a moment.”

Frightened, the taxi driver went back into the toilet.

In this sudden emergency, Manager Song called Do-jun to inform him of the situation.

He’s asking for the car keys.

“Are you going to leave the taxi driver and go?”

I have no choice. He says if a bus comes, I should get on and go.

“I understand.”

Manager Song conveyed Do-jun’s message.

Upon hearing this, the taxi driver was horrified.

“Are you leaving me alone in a place I don’t know?”

“We’re in a hurry due to circumstances.”

“I’ve seen enough now. I’ll leave.”

The taxi driver, who hastily covered up, came out with unsteady steps.

After wiping his hands, he raised his pale face.

“I’ll drive you safely.”

“I’ll be driving, so hand over the car keys.”

The taxi driver who returned with the taxi had rummaged through his usual emergency medicines.

Fortunately, there was one anti-indigestion pill left. He quickly swallowed it.

Do-jun’s expression was stern.

Reading the desire to punish himself immediately, the taxi driver shouted loudly.
“Starting now, we’ll arrive in an hour and a half!”

“Okay, and Mr. Driver, you ride in the back.”

Already, Manager Song was sitting in the taxi’s driver’s seat, adjusting the chair and the positions of the mirrors.

The taxi driver, nodding, took the back seat alone.
