“We plan to build a cottage near Cheongpyeong Lake for Seojun to enjoy when the weather is nice. This grandpa is going to build it very big, with a swimming pool and everything, so Seojun can go there whenever he wants. Understand?”
Not knowing what a cottage was, Seojun, while fiddling with the blueprint, asked with his mouth. Seeing that, Jinwook quickly pulled out the paper and said,
“Seojun, this is something really good. You should thank Grandpa.”
“……Ma.”
The babbling Seojun spit out a word.
“Ha…Ppa.”
At his words, Hongseok’s eyes widened.
“Did everyone just hear that?!”
Hongseok said excitedly with an animated expression.
“Just now, Seojun called me Grandpa!”
It didn’t seem like that…
While Yeonju smirked, others seemed to have different thoughts.
Aera, who was next to them, also nodded her head several times and chimed in,
“Yes. Dad! I heard it too!”
“Unbelievable. He’s not even eight months old yet, and he’s already using these words… Our Seojun is really an amazing child.”
“That’s right. Jinwook was smart too, but not this fast. If he’s already this remarkable, imagine how great of a person he’ll become when he grows up? Dad.”
Honey, dry it up a bit.
Yeonju sent a quick glance to Jinwook. Jinwook spoke to the two of them,
“That’s right. Seojun is fast and undoubtedly talented for his age.”
Jinwook said with a serious expression,
“When I look at him, I think he might be a genius that comes once in a millennium.”
For a moment, he almost forgot. Jinwook was more exceptional than them, adding more to it, and he wasn’t a weak person.
“Hahaha! A genius like Seojun appearing in our family, I must have done well to have lived until now!!”
At that time, laughter filled the house.
“Ding-dong.”
When the doorbell rang, Jinwook looked puzzled.
“Who is it?”
Checking the intercom, an unexpected person was standing on the screen. The man standing there in a black coat was none other than Inhyuk. Seeing him, even Aera was surprised and said with a puzzled face,
“Oh. Why is Inhyuk here…”
At that moment, Yeonju spoke softly.
“I called him.”
“?!”
“For some reason, I felt like he might be alone at home on Christmas. Instead of spending it alone, I thought it would be better to be together, so I contacted him.”
Inhyuk is still in the middle of a divorce and going through a tough time. Yeonju, who knew well the loneliness and emptiness he would feel staying alone at home, thought it wouldn’t be right to exclude him from spending Christmas with family.
With her words, Hongseok chuckled and said,
“Right. You did well. Inhyuk is probably going through a hard time with the divorce lawsuit, so we should take good care of him by his side.”
Hongseok looked at her with a kind gaze.
“Our daughter-in-law has such deep thoughts. Admirable and impressive.”
At that remark, Jinwook and Aera, feeling somewhat perplexed, prepared to welcome Inhyuk, easing the awkwardness. Soon, the front door opened, and Inhyuk entered.
Yeonju warmly welcomed Inhyuk.
“Please come in. Sir.”
“Hello. Mr. Je-su.”
“It’s the first time we’ve invited you to our house. Have you been well?”
“Yes, I’ve been well. Thank you for inviting me.”
“Come on in.”
“Oh, this… It’s a gift.”
Inhyuk handed the shopping bag he was holding to Yeonju.
“You didn’t have to bring something like this.”
“It’s nothing much. Just a few bottles of wine.”
“Thank you. We should all try it together today.”
Inhyuk then greeted Hongseok and Aera one by one before entering the living room.
Similarly, Jinwook passed by without showing himself and headed straight for Seojun, who was sitting in the living room.
Inhyuk, moving his plump cheeks, blinked his black eyes, looking intently at Seojun. He thought Seojun looked like a doll at first, but day by day, Seojun became a more explosively lovable presence.
Inhyuk, with sparkling eyes, mumbled as he gazed at Seojun.
“He’s grown so much. It’s amazing.”
Observing Inhyuk unable to take his eyes off Seojun, Yeonju realized that, contrary to appearances, he genuinely liked children. Perhaps he came here today to see Seojun.
“Seojun, Big Daddy brought a gift.”
A tender voice that had never been heard from Inhyuk came out.
Inhyuk took something out of another shopping bag he had brought. What he placed in front of Seojun was a moving toy car.
As the car started moving, emitting colored lights, Seojun showed great interest.
“Ma!”
To catch up with the car, Seojun began to crawl quickly. Everyone watched Seojun with admiration at his cute appearance.
Then, when the car changed direction and came towards Seojun, he suddenly started to run away with a surprised face.
“Umma! Ma!”
Seeing that, the family burst into laughter.
“It seems Seojun was surprised.”
“I’ve never seen a toddler with such fast first steps. Haha.”
“At this rate, he’ll be running soon.”
Even after that, laughter continued to fill the house for a long time.
After the party, when everyone left, the house became quiet in an instant.

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
