Carefully lifting his arm, Kang Hyun fumbled for the head of the bed and touched the mood light switch. In the dark space, a small light revealed a crescent moon-shaped smile on Kang Hyun’s lips. Ji An, with her forehead on Kang Hyun’s chest and crouched down, exhaled a breath that pleasantly tickled the back of his neck.

“Ji An.”

Kang Hyun brushed away the sleepy wrinkles from Ji An’s eyes upon hearing the whispering voice.

Although he didn’t want to wake Ji An, he couldn’t abandon the purpose of coming here.

“Ji An.”

“……. ”

“You have to wake up.”

“……I’m too sleepy.”

Ji An shook her head from side to side with her eyes half open.

Despite tormenting Kang Hyun all night and just closing her eyes a moment ago, it was difficult to accept the reality that morning had already come.

“I told you to sleep early.”

Ji An tapped on Kang Hyun’s shoulders, which hadn’t let her go all night, and protested with a pout.

Although he didn’t want to linger like this at a resort where you could see the famous coastal sunrise, his overheated body caused trouble.

“What can I do if it’s good.”

Forcing Ji An, who was sagging, to stand up, Kang Hyun threw a thick bathrobe on the floor that was thrown away with a thrown bathrobe and pushed the sliding glass door to the terrace.

“Is the sun up?”

“Not visible yet.”

Kang Hyun, carrying Ji An like a fluffy snowball, headed for the terrace canopy installed on the wooden deck.

Checking whether the heated electric mat, prepared in advance, was doing its job, Kang Hyun lifted Ji An from the bed, where the face was buried in the blanket.

“Are you cold?”

“No, it’s warm. Come here and cover it.”

Ji An, whose body had been cooled by the chilly sea breeze, struggled to unwrap the tightly wrapped blanket.

“I’ll do it for you.”

Kang Hyun, who briefly uncovered the blanket, pulled Ji An through the spread legs and covered her with the blanket.

Leaning against the sturdy chest that protected her, Ji An comfortably rested her head and began to look at the horizon that had started to turn red.

“What wish will you make?”

“Wish?”

“It’s the first sunrise of the year. You have to make a wish.”

“Should I make one?”

“Yes.”

Kang Hyun, tilting his head cutely, kissed Ji An’s cheek a few times, and the round sun rose vividly.

“It’s beautiful.”

In the winter sea where the dark aura had not yet faded, the sunlight reflected, making the gentle waves ripple.

The sparkling dew filled Ji An’s round pupils.

On the first day of the new year, Ji An, who had captured a special sunset, opened her mouth wide.

Thanks to Kang Hyun, who liked to go around here and there, she could enjoy all the winter landscapes she hadn’t seen before.

“I’ll make a wish too.”

Folding her hands and closing her eyes, Ji An, who had not been long since, raised her eyelids.

“What wish did you make?”

“Just, you know, to be happy like this forever.”
Specifically, it was a wish for Taekang Hyun to continue smiling like this.

Having no other wishes, Ji An made a wish for Kang Hyun.

“About President Jeon.”

“It’s a secret.”

“Wow…”

“Don’t wishes have to be kept secret to come true?”

“Then, my wish won’t come true.”

“I will make all your wishes come true.”

Ji An’s lips were sealed with a slight pout.

Seeing Kang Hyun, who had become even more charming, an empty laugh burst out.

Once the son-in-law brightened completely, Ji An returned to the bed, dried off in the blanket.

“How about we sleep a little more?”

“Yesterday was the last day, and today is the first day, so we should celebrate the new year.”

“If we keep attaching meaning like this, our bodies won’t last.”

“I love you.”

Kang Hyun, with a light and cheerful gesture, uncovered the blanket.

With raised eyelids, Ji An smiled silently at Kang Hyun, who embraced her against his chest without a pillow.

Descending for a while and sleeping peacefully without dreaming, her appearance seemed to be full of heart.

The morning they welcomed together felt so familiar that it felt like they had become a newlywed couple.

“Taekang Hyun.”

Ji An repeated the sweetly rolling name in her mouth and examined each handsome feature.

As Ji An carefully raised her hand to wipe her eyes, wrinkles formed on the bridge of her nose, sensing movement.

“Don’t touch in the morning.”

With closed eyes, Kang Hyun raised the corner of his mouth.

“Do you want to sleep more?”

“No.”

“Then are you going to get up?”

“No.”

Kang Hyun’s fingers, silently climbing up along the elbow, caught the thin strap of the slip.

“Again, again.”

“Then let’s have breakfast.”

“Is it okay to skip a day?”

“No, it’s not okay. We’ll be going home soon.”

“Even if we go home, I can see you every day. I’ll go to work at the company.”

“It’s not enough.”

Ji An grabbed the broad shoulders that had come up without her noticing.

The eyes that were overly round for a person who had just awakened flickered as they covered the ceiling.

“Wait a moment…”

“I’ll do it slowly.”

“Don’t just say that every time!”
