It was the afternoon of the seventh day since giving birth.
Yeonju lay on the bed, gazing at the baby’s face.
Wrapped in a white swaddle, the baby had jet-black eyelashes as they peacefully slept.
It was now the mandatory time in the nursery twice a day at the maternity hospital. It was the time for the baby to be with the mother in the room, and usually, the nursery cleaning took place during this time.
Except during feeding times, the baby always slept. Yeonju looked down at the baby’s face with eyes filled with love.
The baby occasionally opened their eyes, and when they met Yeonju’s gaze, those moments went beyond being just adorable; they were almost sublime.
While admiring the baby’s face, the phone placed in the room rang. Yeonju promptly answered the call.
“Hello?”
[Mrs. Kang Yeonju. There’s a guest waiting near the entrance.]“A guest?”
[Yes, they said they are family…]“Just a moment. I’ll come out now.”
Yeonju opened the door and stepped into the corridor. At the end of the corridor, a familiar face caught her eye.
The man standing near the entrance was none other than Inhyuk.
Momentarily surprised by the unexpected visit, Yeonju quickly opened the door and greeted him.
“Hello. Father-in-law.”
Inhyuk nodded briefly and spoke in his characteristic gruff tone.
“I had some business nearby and dropped by.”
“Oh, I see. Thank you for coming despite your busy schedule.”
Inhyuk handed her a flower basket.
“Congratulations on the birth.”
“Thank you. The flowers are beautiful.”
“Take good care of yourself. I’ll be going now.”
“Really?”
Yeonju called out to him.
“Since you came all the way here, won’t you see the baby before you leave?”
“…”
“Just a moment. The baby is in my room. Please take a quick look before you go.”
Inhyuk seemed to hesitate for a moment, then turned back toward Yeonju.
“Well, let me see the baby’s face for a moment, then.”
As Inhyuk entered the room, he glanced around. The room was spacious and luxurious like a VIP suite in a hotel. There was a small kitchen on one side, and on the other, a sofa and table were arranged like a reception room.
The most eye-catching thing among them was the portable crib by the window. Inside the crib with a partition, a small baby lay like a doll.
Inhyuk approached the crib slowly. Wrapped in a swaddle, the baby came into view.
The baby had a small face with big pupils and plump lips. Compared to when they were just born, the face had become fairer, and the chubby cheeks added even more charm.
Although Inhyuk knew roughly what the baby looked like from Jinwook’s messenger profile picture, seeing the baby in person made a distinct impression.
It was fascinating that someone could be so small, and the fact that such a small face had all the features was once again mysterious.
Yeonju, who came closer, commented on the baby.
“Oh? Just a while ago, they were asleep, and now they’ve opened their eyes.”
The baby opened their eyes, but their gaze was directed elsewhere, not at the two people.
“Because it’s a newborn, they haven’t focused their eyes yet. So, even when you look at them, they often look at something else.”
Inhyuk stared at the baby’s face intently. The baby was cute like a doll and seemed fragile enough to break if touched.
Watching Inhyuk, who couldn’t take his eyes off the baby, Yeonju spoke softly.
“Would you like to hold them?”
Inhyuk’s eyes widened slightly.
“Is that okay?”
“Yes, of course.”
Yeonju carefully lifted the baby. Then, she slowly moved the baby into Inhyuk’s arms. Inhyuk also carefully cradled the baby.
It seemed like a little force could cause trouble because the baby was so light and small. Therefore, Inhyuk held the baby with a tense expression, being as cautious as possible.
Looking at the baby in his arms, Inhyuk asked, “What’s their name?”
“My father-in-law received name suggestions from various naming places, and he’s still contemplating. For now, we’re calling them by their nickname. The nickname is Yeolmu.”
“…I see.”
Inhyuk stared at the baby’s face intently and remarked, “They don’t seem to resemble the dad much, more than I thought.”
“…”
“Well… They’re small and pretty.”
Yeonju momentarily felt confused about whether that comment was a compliment or not, but judging by his expression, it seemed like it probably was. It was the first time Inhyuk had such a warm expression.
Realizing that he had been watching the baby for too long, Inhyuk said to Yeonju, “I should go now.”
Yeonju gently placed the baby back on the bed. Inhyuk walked toward the door, and as if to escort him, Yeonju followed him, saying, “You don’t need to come out. Rest.”
“Ah… Yes. Thank you for coming. Please take care.”
As she was about to turn away, Yeonju added one more thing.
“Oh, and I heard the lawsuit might take a while.”
Inhyuk turned back to look at her. With a serious expression, Yeonju continued, “It might be challenging, but endure it well. If there’s anything I can help with, please let me know.”
“…”
“And…”
