“After the checkup, wait for me. I’ll take you there.”
“Really?”
Looking at Eunjae, who answered casually while putting on his outerwear, Sunwoo watched him with a puzzled expression. He stared at Eunjae with narrowed eyes and a tightened jaw.
“You’re acting strange. Something’s off.”
“What do you mean?”
“If it were another time, you would have said it’s okay for sure.”
“I didn’t know? I’m going to do everything Sunwoo wants now. I’ve decided to listen well from now on.”
Haven’t you heard that if you listen well to your husband, even rice cakes fall while sleeping? Eunjae smiled broadly and hugged Sunwoo.
“I won’t have any other thoughts now. The emotions and feelings I felt at that time, I’ll express them each time and love freely.”
“Did going out and coming back strengthen you? The effect is good. Shall we go out again?”
Really, there’s nothing he can’t do. Thump, Eunjae’s palm overlapped Sunwoo’s back, and Sunwoo’s hand gently surrounded Eunjae’s belly.
“Let’s go with ‘Yulma’ for the baby’s name.”
Having had an early lunch, Sunwoo, with a cup of coffee in hand, headed to the Cloud Bridge, where the autumn leaves were in full bloom. It was a place with many memories with Eunjae.
It must have been the moment when cherry blossoms fluttered. The moment I realized I was looking at Eunjae with a different gaze.
The scent of that day was still vivid. You were the most beautiful in the world that day.
The time it took for you to be reflected in my eyes and seep into my heart was very brief. Perhaps I knew that I would become a fool for Eunjae from that moment.
“Do you know what the recent rumor is?”
Sunwoo, who was laughing, was suddenly approached by Heewon. Sunwoo, who had been lost in his thoughts for a long time, turned away from Heewon as if annoyed.
“What useless thing are you going to say again?”
“Aren’t you transferring to the OBGYN department? Stop going there.”
“Whether I do or not.”
As Sunwoo, who gulped down the coffee in the cup at once and squeezed the paper cup, moved his steps, Heewon shouted.
“Where are you going again?”
“OBGYN.”
“That crazy bastard.”
Sunwoo, breathing heavily, took a seat next to Eunjae, who was sitting in front of the dressing room.
“When did you come? Am I not late yet?”
“No, I’ll go in next.”
Tension was evident on Sunwoo’s face. They hadn’t been able to see the doctor together due to mismatched schedules, and today, finally, they could hear Yulma’s heartbeat.
“Relax. If someone sees you, they might think you’re pregnant.”
Even with Eunjae’s joke, Sunwoo’s tension didn’t seem to be easing. “Mr. Eunjae, please come in,” the nurse called, and his face had already turned pale.
When Eunjae entered with Sunwoo, Professor Lee Su-hee, a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, greeted them with a smile.
Professor Lee Su-hee was the most competent obstetrician and gynecologist in Yeonrim Hospital. Sunwoo had met her during his internship, so they were familiar.
“Professor Yoon, did you come too?”
“Yes, fortunately, our schedules matched today.”
“You should make time for it now.”
“I will.”
Smiling brightly, Professor Lee Su-hee asked Eunjae.
“Shall we see how much our Yulma has grown?”
“Mr. Eunjae, come over here. Nurse!” At the nurse’s call, Sunwoo swallowed dry saliva nervously. After Eunjae disappeared behind the curtain, the professor’s voice came softly.
“Dad, come in too.”
Sunwoo, clenching his nervously trembling hands, slowly walked towards where Eunjae was.
“Shall we listen to Yulma’s heartbeat?”
Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump. The heartbeat sounded unfamiliar, beating at a very fast pace. It seemed like a sound he had heard frequently, but it was different.
Eunjae, who was staring intently at the monitor, asked Sunwoo.
“How is it? Our Yulma’s heartbeat.”
“Very healthy.”
“Here is the hand, here is the foot, 3.89 centimeters. Growing very well.”
Before he knew it, Sunwoo realized that even his own heartbeat was pounding similarly.
After having a late lunch at the main house, Eunjae’s eyes widened as he came up to the annex. It was because there was a very large and unfamiliar box placed on the sofa table.
“What’s this?”
“A gift.”
“Is it mine?”
“Well, who else would it be for, if not you?”
“No, maybe it’s for the baby.”
“It’s yours.”
“Really?”
With a greatly swelled heart, Eunjae opened the box. It was a mint-colored mini dress. The contents were a bit puzzling. It was pretty, but he wondered how often he would wear such clothes.
Or maybe there’s some kind of anniversary party?
“What is this?”
“Birthday present.”
“Oh, it was my birthday today.”
It had been a long time since he had forgotten, no, since he hadn’t been able to remember. So, it was a day he had forgotten, including his own birthday.
“How did you know my birthday?”
“I found out while transferring the officetel.”
“Ah, it’s touching. I even forgot my own birthday.”
Smiling contentedly, as Eunjae slowly took out the dress, Sunwoo, as if waiting, took out a pin from the box.
“It would look pretty if you put it on.”
A mint-colored bead hairpin made by his mom. He remembered complaining that he had nowhere suitable to wear it.
Large pupils looking at Sunwoo were getting moist again. Although tears had already welled up, when he bit his lips to endure, Sunwoo brought his finger to Eunjae’s lips.
“I prepared something that suits you. Do you like it?”
“Too… too much.”
Wiping away the tears that were about to flow, Sunwoo pinned the hairpin on Eunjae’s head.
“Come out wearing it.”
“Now?”
“Yeah, we have somewhere to go.”
When Eunjae came out wearing the dress, Sunwoo was also waiting for her, wearing a shirt in the same color as Eunjae’s dress.
The place they headed to was an indoor garden located behind the main house. Behind the bench, countless white roses were truly beautiful.
“Wow, there’s a place like this?”
“There are many spaces you still don’t know besides here. I’ll show you one by one from now on.”
Casually seating Eunjae on the bench, Sunwoo took out a small box. Inside the box, water-drop-shaped diamonds sparkled beautifully.
“The ring has changed.”
“I proposed with that ring. Now, there’s no excuse, you know?”
The ring from the box gently slipped onto the ring finger of Eunjae’s left hand.
“Marry me, with me.”
“I knew you would do this; it felt like you were about to propose.”
“You’re quick to notice things like this.”
“By the way, did Sunwoo prepare all of this himself?”
“I… spent money.”
Chuckling, Eunjae, with his arms around Sunwoo’s waist, whispered softly.
“I hope it’s spring. This time, let Sunwoo pick out the wedding dress. I’ll try them all without wanting a specific one. So, marry me, with me.”
“Copying again.”
Listening to the pounding sound of his heart, Eunjae leaned his head against his broad chest.
“You’ve walked the thorny path for a long time, so now it’s a flower path, right?”
“I’m the one who will plant those flowers.”
“So, this was a real birthday present? A proposal on my birthday, I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life.”
Eunjae chuckled and delved even deeper into his warm embrace. His hand wrapping around her waist felt so warm and fragrant that it seemed like she might fall asleep.
The penetrating sunlight was dazzling, the roses were fragrant, and with the man she loved, it couldn’t be a more perfect day.
“So? You still haven’t answered.”
“Do you remember how many times I proposed? Three times until today.”
“Still, you should answer, I want to hear it.”
Going back to that moment, even if I could make a different choice, I would choose you.
Even if there was only one option to meet you, I would still choose you.
Even if that place is hell, without a doubt, I would choose you.
If all of this was a process to meet you, and if I had to go through this pain, I would gladly give that answer.
No matter what question, my answer will always be Eunjae.
“Say something.”
Main Story Complete.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
