“About the child and your future… I wish you’d think a bit more about it. Don’t make hasty decisions about your relationship with Mr. Ahn too soon.”
Yeonju cautiously continued with sincere words.
“I don’t know much about Mr. Ahn, but maybe… he might be able to be a good dad. Just by looking at his actions with Seojun, it seemed like he loves children.”
“…”
“Just give it a little more time…”
“Yeonju.”
Mina spoke with a serious gaze.
“Thank you for your concern. I understand what you want to say and what you’re worried about, Yeonju.”
“…”
“As Yeonju said, Mr. Chainhyuk might be a better father than I think. But I won’t be a satisfactory wife to Mr. Chainhyuk.”
Mina asked, pressing her lips together. She recalled past memories and continued speaking.
“Minu and I grew up under Grandma’s care from a young age. The only memories we have of our parents are them throwing things and shouting in front of us.”
“…”
“I’ve never had fantasies or beautiful thoughts about marriage. I didn’t even think about having a child, but now that the child has come to me, I won’t even think about giving up. The path to becoming a mom is a choice. But I don’t want to choose marriage.”
Yeonju’s eyes sank. She didn’t know that Mina had such pain. Understanding her feelings through this revelation, her heart ached.
“Besides…”
Mina forced a smile and said.
“Mr. Chainhyuk already has scars from marriage. If I marry him, he might experience the same pain again.”
“…”
“He needs a woman who is more domestic and warm-hearted than me to be happy.”
Yeonju stared at Mina’s indifferent face.
Perhaps Mina didn’t like Chainhyuk as much as she thought.
When you love someone, you wish for their happiness.
Mina looked at Yeonju’s puzzled expression and comforted her.
“Yeonju, I’m really okay. So don’t worry.”
“…”
“At this rate, I might miss the flight. I’ll be going now.”
Mina smiled brightly, trying to ease Yeonju’s worries, and got into the car.
Yeonju, who saw Mina off, entered the house.
She sat in the living room. Her complexion was dark, and her expression was awkward.
Yeonju let out a long sigh. Although Mina said she was fine, Yeonju felt sorry and worried when thinking about her situation.
At that moment, Seojun’s room door opened, revealing the figure of Jinwook.
After checking Seojun’s sleeping face once more, Jinwook quietly closed the door. Then he approached Yeonju, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
“What’s wrong?”
Jinwook asked, sitting next to her. Yeonju turned her head to look at him.
“What’s wrong?”
“Your expression doesn’t look good.”
“Ah…”
Yeonju tried to speak indifferently.
“No, there’s nothing wrong.”
Since Mina asked her not to tell the family about the situation with Inhyuk, Yeonju couldn’t confide her concerns to Jinwook. Yeonju changed the subject.
“Did Seojun sleep well?”
“Yeah. At first, he was looking for you, but after reading him a fairy tale, he fell asleep right away.”
“What fairy tale did you read?”
“The Fairy and the Woodcutter.”
Jinwook added.
“Seeing the woodcutter crying after his wife left made me feel like it was my story. It was pitiful to see myself in that woodcutter’s shoes.”
At his words, Yeonju let out a small laugh.
“Anyway, it’s a happy ending, right? So, it’s settled.”
“Yeah, that’s right. I found and held onto the place where my wife is, so it became a happy ending.”
Yeonju chuckled once again. Jinwook, who was looking at her smiling face, approached a little closer and sat down.
He looked at Yeonju gently and said,
“Seojun fell asleep early. How about doing something we can only do now?”
“Something we can only do now?”
“He said he wants a younger sibling.”
“When did I say that? I just mentioned that it would be nice to have a sibling if one comes.”
“That’s what I meant.”
As he said that, Jinwook’s hand had somehow slipped into Yeonju’s shirt. With his other hand, he wrapped her face and tilted his head. As their approaching lips gently intertwined, they shared breaths.
Gradually, Yeonju’s back touched the sofa. As the intensity of the kiss deepened, the touching body temperatures also grew warmer.
In the intense passion, their breaths became quicker. When Yeonju exhaled a heated breath, Jinwook momentarily let go of her lips. Then he began to remove his own shirt. With each unbuttoning, his well-defined shoulders and strong upper body were revealed.
Jinwook lowered his gaze to Yeonju’s face. Seeing her moist lips and flushed cheeks, his heart raced.
He wanted to swallow her lips immediately and become one. With rising thirst and impatience, Jinwook, with heated eyes, said,
“It seems like we won’t finish quickly tonight.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
