As a result, everyone reached a unanimous decision for the coming fall. Exactly one year later. However, they decided to quickly proceed with the marriage registration and engagement ceremony secretly. The engagement ceremony would be held at the Elstella Hotel in Seoul, and everyone agreed to enjoy the joyful occasion together.

In other words, the promise was no longer about Seojun and Soyeon’s issues but was centered around Hyunwoo. Even though the order had reversed, it was a wonderful thing for Hyunwoo, who had always been pitiful, and Soyeon, who had to take care of the child alone, now had a place to rely on. Satisfied with just that, Eunhyuk and Yeonhee couldn’t wipe the contented expressions off their faces for a long time.

Moreover, watching Seojun’s actions, which couldn’t take his eyes off Soyeon, Eunhyuk, who glanced at it discreetly, couldn’t help but break into a warm smile. Although they had lost their precious daughter to a thief, the thief was so likable that, in a way, it felt comforting.
The living room, where people from two households had been engaging in conversation, had turned into a sea of tears without anyone noticing. Yeojin and Yeonhee repeatedly wiped away the welling tears with handkerchiefs, while Taeseokho and Eunhyuk’s eyes were also filled with glistening tears.

Ah, how to deal with this heavy atmosphere.

“Everyone, please calm down, let’s all have a meal together.”

“Goodness, get a hold of yourself.”

As Professor Eom energetically tried to brighten the somber mood with his lively voice, Yeonhee, who had instructed the servants to prepare lunch, appeared with a clear, composed face.

Still closely connected, Seojun and Soyeon caught the eye of Yeonhee, who realized that, regardless of other aspects, Eunsoyeon resembled her vulnerable self when it came to handsome men. Moreover, she seemed defenseless against a man she had fallen for, even helpless. It seemed like she had fallen deeply for him, really fallen!

Soyeon showed Seojun around the house, laughing cheerfully and tightly holding his large hand.

Seojun, willingly following her lead, also couldn’t stop displaying a charming smile.

“Mr. Seojun, you can use this room.”

After going around the house and finally coming upstairs for the last stop, Soyeon guided Seojun to the room where he would stay.

“I don’t like it. I want to share a room with Eumsoyeon.”

“I think I can solve that problem, just wait a moment.”

Leaving Seojun in the room, Soyeon entered her bedroom right next door with quick steps and knocked on the inner door.

Knock, knock, knock.

As soon as the door opened, a handsome man, who could be described as insufficient with just the word ‘handsome,’ was in front of Soyeon. At the same time, Seojun, who was also a lovable woman in the world, came in with her black eyes firmly fixed on him.

“Wow, was there such a good thing here?”

“It’s perfect for playing hide-and-seek, right?”

Only a minute had passed since they separated, and they met again. Without any reason, the hearts of the two were pounding like crazy.

“Whenever I had nothing to do or couldn’t be active due to an injury, I came to Canada. I played hide-and-seek a lot in this room with Hyunwoo.”

“Well, now you have to play with me, not Hyunwoo.”

“Isn’t playing something older brothers do?”

“Why does it have to be like that?”

When Seojun asked, raising one eyebrow, Soyeon, who had lightly stepped over to the space where he was, laughed like a young girl, her twinkling eyes smiling.

“It’s something older brothers should do more than me… Heh!”

Seojun’s movement, not to let that pretty sight pass by, was surprisingly fast. Seojun, who wrapped his arms around Soyeon’s waist and gently pushed her to the side of the door, lowered his head, and their lips met.

The incident that unfolded in the blink of an eye left no time to react, but she, too, willingly welcomed the sensation of the lips meeting. While the lightened breaths continuously flowed on both sides, Seojun looked down at her transparent and small face with half-closed eyes.

“Now that I’ve played, it’s Eumsoyeon’s turn.”

“Again?”
Just now, even the kiss made my heart tremble, but it’s going further. Soyeon, playing with her long and thick eyelashes, said, “Well, what do you think? You’re soon going to be my husband.”

“How about the adults downstairs?”

“I don’t care about that. If I want to and can do it, I’ll do it anywhere.”

“What if I run away?”

“Do you think I’ll just let you go?”

Seojun’s arm tightened around Soyeon’s waist.

Eun Soyeon was utterly motionless.

Seojun’s lips, which met again after a while, greedily covered Soyeon’s lips. Soyeon, as if fleeing, slipped out from under his armpit and went to her room.

When Soyeon took out her phone from her bag, Seojun chuckled with his eyes. He was asking her who she was calling.

“To Doshun. I told him to call me if things go well.”

While answering, Soyeon pressed the call button and spoke to Doshun, who answered the call immediately.

“Are you awake?”

-I don’t have to sleep. I can sleep.

“Why? What happened?”
