Grabbing his hand, Narim, who had just come out of the house, looked at Taegyu with questioning eyes.
“How did you come in with my mom? And what are all those bags from earlier?”
“We met at W Hotel Lounge. The bags… I thought we could check some scores.”
“So, it’s all just a coincidence?”
Looking at Narim, who asked with a suspicious expression, Taegyu smirked and laughed out loud.
“Well, who knows.”
Taegyu laughed while scanning Narim as if examining her. She was dressed simply for the chilly weather.
“Why did our mom meet? Are you worried?”
“We’re going on a date, and she’s making some arrangements.”
Taegyu took off his jacket and put it around Narim’s shoulders. Then he smiled, looking into her round eyes.
“It’s pretty, but if you dress like this, you might catch a cold. Especially in this transitional season, you need to be careful.”
“Are you going to keep teasing me?”
Narim’s slightly tilted head moved towards Taegyu’s lips.
“I was worried, though.”
Their briefly connected and then separated lips curved gently.
“It seemed like you were sulking.”
“I was trying to handle everything myself.”
Narim said, as if her tasks had been taken away.
“What your mom said earlier, I overheard it with permission.”
“Well, in a way, it’s similar.”
“So, Narim made the decision herself.”
Taegyu’s large and warm hand gently stroked Narim’s head.
“I’m incredibly smart, incredibly handsome, incredibly rich, and from a very good family. Yet, I didn’t get permission.”
“Seriously… Did you hear everything she said?”
“I told you earlier, I missed the timing, so I heard everything.”
“Unbelievable.”
Stop complaining and let’s go on our date. In response to his gently penetrating touch, Narim responded with a smile.
Sitting across from each other, Taegyu burst into laughter as he watched Narim sucking on a straw and staring at him intently.
“Do you have anything you want to do?”
“Yes. I’m fine just looking at Teacher Yoon’s face.”
“I’m also fine just looking at Narim’s face, but we’ve been in this cafe for three hours.”
During that time, they only had a brief encounter at the hospital due to their schedules, and now, they were finally having a date. So, he wanted to eat delicious food and watch a movie.
“Then, can we do this for just another 10 minutes?”
“I really can’t stop you.”
“I can’t believe it. That Teacher Yoon is my boyfriend.”
Until when will it be Teacher Yoon? Taegyu grumbled and gulped down his Americano.
“I’m saying this because I might make a mistake at the hospital. If they find out about our relationship at the hospital, I might get kicked out of my house.”
He knew that they had to maintain professionalism at the hospital, but he wasn’t upset about drawing a line between them, even if they were being sweet like this.
Sometimes, male doctors would joke with Narim or tease her with unexpected jokes, and on those occasions when Narim closed her eyes and laughed, my lips twitched and pressed together several times.
“So, I’m thinking of transferring hospitals.”
I can’t stand those brats. If I keep holding back, someday I might just hit one.
“What?”
“To see Narim, I think I should show that much courtesy.”
I don’t like that… With that, silence fell. Narim, who had been sipping on grapefruit juice, pushed the empty glass aside.
This is absolutely not because he’s my boyfriend. So, you must listen without bias, even if I have to insist with a determined expression.
“At Yeonrim, Teacher Yoon is genuinely competent and a good doctor. Such a talent going to another hospital? That would be a loss for Yeonrim. If you really insist, I’ll look into another hospital.”
“The nurse Jung said that. Narim, coming to this hospital was her dream. It wasn’t mine.”
Just trying to get Grandpa’s attention, I made a mess on a tree I couldn’t climb.
“Then let’s keep it a secret. I’ll be careful not to get caught.”
“What secret.”
I want to reveal everything now, but his hand gently touching my lips prevents me from doing so.
“In fact, it’s all an excuse. I just don’t want to. If we go to another hospital, we won’t be able to see each other more. We’ve only managed to meet and go on a date in a month.”
“There’s a good way.”
What is it? Narim asked with great curiosity, but Taegyu just smiled broadly.
After a long time, they had a family dinner at their hometown. Since Sunwoo couldn’t resist it any longer, he told the family about Eunjae’s pregnancy. They received many congratulations, embarrassing enough.
After the affectionate meal ended and before moving on to dessert, Eunjeong called Eunjae to the front of their home and handed her a small shopping bag.
“I heard Eunjae became a regular employee? Congratulations, don’t overdo it. This is a gift from our fruit.”
“Thank you. Our fruit must be doing well.”
Our fruit is indeed a handful. When Eunjeong looked at Eunjae with a pleased expression and caressed her hand, a large hand overlapped hers.
Surprised, both Eunjeong and Eunjae’s eyes turned towards Sunwoo simultaneously. He was still smiling and looked extremely happy.
“Mr. Sunwoo…”
“You…”
