As the warm sunlight brushed her face, Yeonju slowly opened her eyes.
A serene bedroom unfolded before her. Judging by the spacious room, it seemed to be morning.
Yeonju turned her body to glance at her bedside and found Jinwook lying diagonally, looking at his phone.
“Oh? Didn’t you go to work?”
Since her pregnancy, Yeonju often slept in. Consequently, when she opened her eyes in the morning, Jinwook had usually already left for work.
Glancing at the wall clock, it was past 9 a.m. With a puzzled expression, Yeonju asked Jinwook,
“Why not go to work today?”
“Took a day off. Last night was a bit much.”
Upon hearing this, Yeonju’s face blushed slightly. Memories of the passionate night surfaced, making her cheeks flush.
“Really, so you took a day off because of that?”
“Why would I? I took a day off because we have somewhere to go.”
“Where are we going?”
“Wherever you want to go.”
Yeonju looked at him with a puzzled expression. Jinwook added calmly,
“Except for what we saw together in Rome, we haven’t properly gone anywhere together. Before you become heavily pregnant, even somewhere nearby is fine. Let’s go to the places you want to visit.”
Silent, she looked at him, and he continued,
“Of course, under the assumption that your condition is okay.”
He looked at Yeonju intently and asked,
“Is your body okay?”
Silent, she answered with a smile,
“Completely fine. It wasn’t weak at all.”
“So, you didn’t like it?”
Silent, with a reddened face, Yeonju honestly replied,
“It was challenging at times, but I still liked it.”
Having heard Yeonju’s words, Jinwook turned his upper body to face her and, with a somewhat serious expression, said,
“I’ve thought about it. Rather than forcing yourself to restrain desires for the baby, I think it’s better if the mom is in a good mood; it’ll be better for the child.”
Jinwook turned his phone screen, which he had been looking at, toward Yeonju.
“Look at this article. [Rather than an expectant mother stressing because she can’t drink coffee, it’s better for both the mom and the baby if she enjoys it.] It’s essentially the same meaning, right?”
Really?
Yeonju blinked, unsure if his words were correct. Perhaps because she had just opened her eyes, her head felt fuzzy. Just as she tried to focus and read the article on the phone screen again, Jinwook looked at Yeonju gently.
“So, in the future, I’ll try to focus more on making you feel good rather than enduring. I want to prioritize making you happy.”
His large hand pulled Yeonju’s waist closer. Jinwook leaned down, planting his lips on the slender nape of her neck. The heat from last night resumed on this morning.
After spending a passionate morning together, the two finally left the house in the afternoon.
And they drove for about an hour, arriving at Daebudo. It was named the largest island on the West Coast and looked like a large hill.
It was famous for its beautiful views from the observatory and dazzling sunsets.
The two headed to the beach in Daebudo. Since it was a weekday, there were few people, and the surroundings were quiet.
Yeonju and Jinwook walked together on the sandy beach, gazing at the sea with gentle waves.
To ward off the possible sea breeze, Jinwook took off his jacket and wrapped it around Yeonju’s shoulders. Yeonju responded with a thankful smile.
With her gaze fixed on the vast sea, Yeonju said, “It’s so beautiful. It feels liberating.”
Seeing Yeonju enjoying herself, Jinwook smiled satisfactorily.
“Whenever you want to come here, just let me know.”
“Can you take time off again?”
“I am a legitimate employee of LM Group. Taking time off is at my discretion.”
Jinwook held Yeonju’s hand and walked, saying, “Later, when the radish is born, let’s come here together. If the baby inherits Mom’s sentiment, they’ll probably like it here.”
“Don’t you like it here?”
“I do. Because you like it.”
At his words, Yeonju laughed. She once again admired the blue sea. The sun-drenched sea sparkled, creating a beautiful sight.
“Seeing the sea after a long time reminds me of when we were in Rome.”
Yeonju recalled the past while speaking.
“Do you remember Positano village that we visited together? When looking at the scenery there, it felt cozy, just like now.”
“Oh, I remember. That’s where I cried and made a scene trying to hold onto you.”
“When did you cry and make a scene?”
“From my perspective, it was crying and making a scene.”
Jinwook reminisced about that moment.
“I was genuinely desperate then. I thought my life would end if I couldn’t hold onto your heart.”
“…”
“That feeling is still the same now.”
He gazed at Yeonju with deep eyes.
“I can’t live without you by my side.”
Now, a life without her was unimaginable.
She, who had been a part of life, had become the entirety of his life.
Yeonju looked up at him with affectionate eyes. Then, gently touching his face, she said, “I will always be by your side.”
“…”
“With the radish.”
Raising her heels, Yeonju lightly kissed Jinwook’s lips.
After the kiss, Jinwook gently looked at Yeonju’s face.

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
