As Seyoon entered the mid-term of pregnancy, she found a considerable sense of stability. The best news, above all, was that her morning sickness had disappeared as if washed away. Realizing that her unsettled stomach, which had been uneasy all day, had returned to normal, Seyoon joyfully declared victory while having a proper breakfast, shedding tears.
“It’s a baby boy.”
As the healthy Nani grew, he became more and more similar to Kanghyun. Seyoon laughed disappointingly every time she saw a photo where none of her facial features resembled hers.
“Yuna, should Oppa come along too?”
Kanghyun, who was lurking around Seyoon as she prepared to go out, slyly observed her.
“No, today, we decided to have fun just the two of us.”
Whether he expected it or not, a firm refusal came back. Seyoon, who had been living indoors due to taking precautions in the early stages of pregnancy, decided to meet her friends after a long time. She mentioned that Seongyeong and Hajun, who heard the pregnancy news over the phone, offered to throw a baby shower. Last time, they took away Seyoon for a bridal shower; now, she wondered what kind of shower it was with so many varieties.
Noticing that Kanghyun was feeling a bit down, Seyoon comforted him by letting him zip up the dress he had given her.
“Then I’ll give you a ride.”
“You called the chauffeur.”
That’s right. Like a bee with honey, Kanghyun closed his mouth as he embraced Seyoon from behind and caressed her round belly sticking out.
“What time will you come in?”
“Um, around nine?”
“I’ll come to pick you up.”
Leaning his forehead on Seyoon’s shoulder, Kanghyun clung to her affectionately. Although he had practiced sending Seyoon alone quite a lot, sometimes there were days when he didn’t want to let her go. Moreover, Seyoon was pregnant. It was natural for her anxiety symptoms to be more prominent than usual.
“Okay, but never come too early. I won’t go out even if you wait outside.”
“Sure, thanks.”
With a slightly uplifted mood after managing to gain one thing, Kanghyun kissed Seyoon’s white nape affectionately, his lips lingering.
“Stop it; there will be marks.”
“Okay.”
Pushing Kanghyun away with a firm face, Seyoon picked up her bag and pursed her lips. Doing what she wanted and refraining from what she didn’t. Taming him like a gentle lamb turned out to be easier than she thought. Kanghyun’s determination to change from the past was that strong. She still felt sorry for the Kanghyun who only knew that much beyond that, but she didn’t dislike him as much. Perhaps due to the hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, sometimes she found pleasure in tormenting Kanghyun with things that bothered him.
“I’ll call you around the time it ends.”
Seeing her off to the entrance, Kanghyun naturally bent his knee and put on Seyoon’s shoes, helping to ensure that she didn’t have to bend her waist too much, which could be uncomfortable for a pregnant Seyoon.
“Oppa.”
Kanghyun’s determination to change from the past was that strong. While he still felt sorry for the Kanghyun who only knew that much beyond that, he didn’t dislike him as much. Whether it was due to hormonal fluctuations from pregnancy, occasionally Seyoon found amusement in tormenting Kanghyun with things that bothered him.

“Oppa.”
As a gesture to lower herself a bit, Seyoon raised her hand, wrapped her arm around Kanghyun’s neck, and pressed her lips against his.
“Do you know what we can do from now on?”
After a brief kiss, Seyoon, feeling Kanghyun’s disappointment, took his hand.
“If you keep the promise not to wait and come first, tonight will be very enjoyable.”
It was a skillful carrot and whip.
Having checked the overdue work in the study and rummaged through photos taken at the wedding, Kanghyun spent time safely until he received Seyoon’s call. While he found it amusing to receive praise from Seyoon for waiting after a long wait, he felt proud of himself. And, above all, today a definite reward awaited him.
“I sweated a lot.”
Seyoon’s hands, hugging Kanghyun, traced down the damp spine.
“There were many things to be concerned about.”
“Should we shower together?”
Breathing heavily, Kanghyun lifted his head.
“Let’s stay like this a little longer.”
It’s too good now.
Kanghyun’s low murmur spread through the quiet bedroom.
In their private space, their bodies closely touching felt as if they were one.
Even the body temperature that had soared and hadn’t yet fallen felt the same.
“Oppa, have you thought of a name for the baby?”
“Not yet.”
“Oppa, name him. I’m fine with anything.”
As Kanghyun slightly twisted his body, Seyoon sighed softly.
“Don’t move. I need to be careful.”
Without a response, Kanghyun met Seyoon’s gaze.
“Yuna.”
“Yeah?”
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…
