Psst! We're moving!
The pitch-black dawn had not yet broken.
Inside a Seoul obstetrics clinic, a loud cry echoed through the room.
“4:21 AM. A healthy baby girl, weighing 3.2 kilograms! Congratulations.”
At the doctor’s announcement, Yewon finally felt like she could breathe again.
She had endured over ten hours of labor, and there were moments when she thought death might be preferable to the pain.
But the moment Bada was born, all that suffering vanished in an instant.
Her only concern now was whether she had put Bada through too much during delivery.
“You went through so much, Yewon.”
Seung-Hyun gently brushed away the sweat-soaked strands of hair clinging to Yewon’s forehead and kissed her lightly.
With tears filling his eyes, he smiled at her with pure happiness. Yewon nodded, meeting his gaze.
The long hours she endured for Bada.
Without Seung-Hyun by her side, it would have been unbearable.
‘You suffered a lot too.’
Though Yewon didn’t have the strength to speak, she silently expressed her gratitude in her heart.
Not long after, the nurse brought in the newborn Bada.
“Hmm...”
The moment she saw Bada’s face, an overwhelming wave of emotion filled her chest—something she had never felt before.
“She’s so beautiful.”
“She looks just like you. Thank you. I love you, Yewon.”
For a long time, the two gazed at their crying baby, marveling at how small and fragile she was.
Yewon was overwhelmed with gratitude. She was now a “mother,” and for the first time, she truly felt like she had a real “family.”
If it weren’t for Seung-Hyun, she wouldn’t even have Bada.
Every second, every minute spent looking at Bada’s face felt precious, even as tears blurred Yewon’s vision.
‘How can she be so tiny?’
Bada looked so delicate that Yewon worried she might break if she held her wrong.
It still felt surreal to Yewon that such a beautiful child had come from her.
“Bada, welcome. Thank you for coming to us, healthy and strong.”
Watching Seung-Hyun speak so warmly to Bada made Yewon’s heart swell.
Though the titles “Mom” and “Dad” still felt a little awkward, hearing those words from Seung-Hyun’s lips filled her with warmth.
“Our… baby.”
Yewon repeated the word “our” several times in her mind, savoring its meaning.
Each time she said it, a warm, magical energy spread through her, making her feel happy and complete.
People had warned her that life would change completely once the baby arrived—that parenting would be exhausting and leave no room for rest.
But Yewon wasn’t worried about losing her free time.
Instead, she wondered if she’d be able to fulfill the role of a mother properly, something she had never experienced herself.
Amidst excitement and fear, Yewon’s heart raced.
Seung-Hyun, seemingly reading her thoughts like a diary, held her hand tightly.
In that moment, Yewon was certain.
“You really went through so much.”
Seung-Hyun’s tender voice reassured her.
Even if the road ahead would be difficult and painful, she knew that with him by her side, she could endure anything.
She was endlessly grateful to Seung-Hyun for suddenly appearing in her life.
________________________________________
“Now, hold the baby with one hand, and relax your shoulders.”
During breastfeeding time, Bada was brought to Yewon’s hospital room.
Following the nurse’s instructions, Yewon relaxed her body and carefully offered her breast to Bada.
Though no one had taught her, Bada instinctively opened her tiny mouth and latched on, looking impossibly cute like a little bird.
Trying not to startle her, Seung-Hyun and Yewon bit their lips to stifle their laughter.
‘She must be opening her mouth as wide as she can, but it’s still so small.’
To Yewon, there wasn’t a single thing about Bada that wasn’t perfect.
Watching Bada suckle with all her might filled Yewon with awe, and she nearly burst into tears.
Holding Bada in her arms left Yewon unable to wipe away the tears streaming down her cheeks.
Still… every moment felt wonderful.
Perhaps it was because she was with Seung-Hyun and Bada.
Though her milk supply hadn’t fully come in yet, Bada soon fell asleep in Yewon’s arms.
“Can I hold her a little longer?”
Yewon, still nervous as a first-time mom, whispered timidly to the nurse.
The nurse smiled warmly and nodded before leaving the room.
Now alone in the hospital room, the three of them shared an intimate, surreal moment.
Seung-Hyun and Yewon’s eyes were fixed on the tiny, squirming life in front of them.
“When she was first born, I didn’t notice, but now that I look closely, Bada resembles you so much.”
“Really? To me, her eyes, nose, and mouth—they’re all perfect, just like you.”
“Really?”
Flattered by Seung-Hyun’s sweet words, Yewon grinned and looked up at him adoringly.
Their gazes met, and hearts full of love seemed to overflow between them.
“Now that Bada’s asleep, I want to say this—you’re still the most beautiful person to me.”
Seung-Hyun sat up, cupped Yewon’s chin, and tilted her face upward before kissing her softly.
The gentle touch of his lips warmed her heart, filling her with a fluttering sense of joy.
She felt so overwhelmingly happy, tears threatened to spill.
“What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?”
Seeing Yewon’s teary eyes, Seung-Hyun asked with concern.
Shaking her head, Yewon replied, “No, I’m just so happy.”
“Huh?”
“I’m so happy. So incredibly happy that it feels like a dream I don’t deserve to wake up from.”
If this really were a dream, she thought, she wouldn’t mind staying asleep forever.
At her words, Seung-Hyun’s eyes welled up with tears.
“Me too. I can’t even express how happy I am.”
“Are you really that happy, Seung-Hyun?”
“It’s like walking on clouds all day. I can’t tell if this is reality or a dream.”
Seung-Hyun paused for a moment, lost in thought.
After a while, he continued, lowering his gaze before raising it again.
“I never thought my life could be this happy… I’ve been afraid to show how happy I am, fearing someone would come and take it all away, saying it wasn’t mine to begin with.”
“…”
Yewon’s expression hardened as she bit her lower lip.
“I’m happy. Because of you and Bada.”
Seung-Hyun’s large hand gently cupped Yewon’s cheek.
Looking at him, who was much taller than her, Yewon wanted to wrap her arms around him tightly.
She wanted to comfort him, to tell him that he had worked hard and that things would be easier from now on.
“Thank you for becoming my family.”
“Thank you too.”
“The three of us will live happily. You and Bada are the greatest gifts of my life.”
Seung-Hyun closed the distance between them and softly kissed Yewon.
Though they couldn’t deepen the kiss while holding Bada, it was warm, gentle, and sweeter than ever.
When their lips parted, a lingering sense of longing lingered between them.
“I love you.”
“I love you so much too.”
No matter how many times they said it, those words never grew old. Each time, they felt fresh and thrilling, spreading waves of happiness across their faces.
There would be many new experiences ahead with Bada—things they had never gone through or felt before.
They had heard countless stories about how difficult parenting could be, and honestly, it scared them a little.
But…
________________________________________
‘Seung-Hyun is by my side. As long as he’s here, everything will be okay.’
Yewon knew that Seung-Hyun, her steadfast pillar of support, would always be there for her. Whatever challenges lay ahead, she believed they could face them together.
After all they had been through to find each other, their bond was all the more precious.
‘I’m truly a blessed person.’
She couldn’t have imagined that such thoughts would ever fill her heart, so Ye-won let out little chuckles.
The word “happiness,” which she thought didn’t suit her, had changed her entire life.
It was so fortunate that she could love and be loved unconditionally.
Childcare was an unbelievably difficult task.
Because Seo-yul woke up every two or three hours even at dawn and cried, Ye-won hadn’t been able to sleep soundly even once since she came home.
After giving birth to Seo-yul, Ye-won felt respect for all mothers in the world.
“I’ll take care of Seo-yul at dawn. Sleep more, okay?”
Even though Seung-hyun was feeding formula at dawn, wanting to help with the nighttime feedings, Ye-won automatically reacted to Seo-yul’s cries.
“You’ve been working all day and just came home. I’m really fine, so go get some more sleep.”
“Do you think you’re the same as me, who’s been with the baby 24 hours a day? I just want you to lie down.”
“I get to rest when the nanny is here during the day, so I’m fine.”
She only wanted to ensure Seung-hyun, who must have been exhausted from work all day, could sleep soundly at night.
But Seung-hyun was adamant.
“I didn’t get married and have a baby to make you suffer. I’ll be upset if you keep thinking about me and trying to handle everything alone, okay?”
“Okay, then I’ll ask you for help.”
When the conversation went that far, it was difficult for Ye-won to resist any longer.
Pushed into the room by Seung-hyun, who looked like he was about to die of sadness, Ye-won carefully lay down on the bed.
“Hoo.”
Her sleep was already completely gone.
Ye-won sighed deeply and ran her hand over the empty space next to her on the bed.
When they didn’t know each other’s feelings, it was much more comfortable for her not to see Seung-hyun sleeping when she woke up in the morning.
It was so uncomfortable and painful to share a bed.
But now, it had gotten to the point where it felt strange if Seung-hyun wasn’t there.
The comfort given by their real relationship was addictive.
‘Me too, really.’
Ye-won was still unfamiliar with her own change.
Her sleep, which had already fled, didn’t return, but her eyes were so sore that she closed them and lay down.
How much time had passed?
When she opened her eyes at the sound of someone approaching, Seung-hyun was walking into the bedroom.
“I burped him, and he just fell asleep.”
“You worked hard.”
“Why weren’t you sleeping?”
When Ye-won spoke, Seung-hyun flinched and answered softly.
Seung-hyun’s face, which came to the bed and lay facing her, filled Ye-won’s eyes.
When she moved her arm and hugged Seung-hyun, their bodies naturally came into close contact.
“How can I sleep without you?”
Seung-hyun’s laughter-filled breath touched her crown.
He stroked her hair as if he found Ye-won cute.
“Our Ye-won can’t sleep without me either? Okay, I’ll put you to sleep too. Come here.”
Seung-hyun hugged Ye-won tightly, inhaling her scent.
Just as she was about to close her eyes at his loving touch, gently patting her back to help her sleep,
‘......!’
She felt something hard against her thigh.
At first, Ye-won thought she was mistaken, but it grew larger and larger as they stayed close together longer.
She was wearing thin pajamas, so she could even feel the shape of the hardened thing.
She was amazed at how Seung-hyun was lying there pretending nothing was wrong.
It had already been almost a hundred days since she gave birth.
During her pregnancy, they had avoided having sex as much as possible, worried it might harm the baby.
That meant they had never abstained for this long.
Thanks to Seo-yul, who recently gifted them with the miracle of a hundred days, her desire for sleep had been somewhat satisfied.
So, they had installed a home camera in Seo-yul’s room, which they had prepared before the birth, and started separate sleeping a few days ago.
Until recently, Seo-yul had slept in the same room, but now that he didn’t, there was no need to hold back.
But... why? Why on earth?
‘Why isn’t he touching me when he’s this big?’
There was no way he didn’t know about the changes in her body.
Knowing Seung-hyun’s personality, it was highly likely that he was holding back, trying to be considerate of Ye-won.
But for Ye-won, she thought too much consideration was poison.
She thought about acting cute and complaining, but today, Ye-won made a different choice.
She would kiss Seung-hyun first.
Ye-won raised her head and overlapped her lips with his, then gently sucked on his lower lip and gently swept it with her tongue, naturally opening Seung-hyun’s lips.
Ye-won slipped into the gap and rolled her tongue.
From Seung-hyun’s perspective, it might have felt clumsy, but Ye-won stimulated him by climbing onto his body.
They had kissed every night, even if they didn’t have sex, but they had never been ignited by such a lewd sensation.
Seung-hyun swallowed the hot breath and saliva that Ye-won gave him, but he still thrust his tongue deeper into Ye-won’s mouth as if he wasn’t satisfied.
It was a kiss that made it impossible to come to one’s senses, repeatedly licking roughly down to the depths of her throat, scraping the roof of her mouth, and then pulling away.
“Haah.”
Seung-hyun’s hand, which had already slipped inside Ye-won’s underwear, awakened her excitement by gently twisting and scratching the high point of her arousal.
Ye-won was looking forward to the night with Seung-hyun so much that her thighs quickly became damp.
But.
“Do you know you’re too stimulating for me?”
Seung-hyun suddenly stopped kissing and hugged Ye-won tightly, trying to suppress his excitement.
Ye-won, who felt like this wouldn’t do, pushed Seung-hyun’s firm chest and escaped his embrace.
Then she climbed onto his body.
Seung-hyun’s eyes widened at Ye-won’s action of suddenly sitting on his stomach and looking down at him.
She was resentful of Seung-hyun, who looked surprised when Ye-won, who had poured out such a lewd kiss just a moment ago, did this.
‘It’s like I’m the only one who wants it.’
Wasn’t it supposed to get bigger when you got excited?
It was a bit awkward, but Ye-won didn’t want to stop here, so she put her hand on Seung-hyun’s indoor clothing.
Tap, tap, tap.
With each button she undid, Ye-won’s heart beat faster.
It was her first time taking the initiative like this, and her fingertips trembled with nervousness.
When she had undone about three buttons, Seung-hyun suddenly grabbed her hand and stopped her.
“I want to do it,” she blurted out.
Thinking he meant for her to stop, Ye-won unknowingly cut to the chase and said only those words.
Then Seung-hyun chuckled.
“I want to too.”
“But why... Ah!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Seung-hyun tore her thin pajamas with his hand.
Since she wasn’t wearing underwear for bed, her bare breasts were exposed to Seung-hyun.
It had been so long that Ye-won’s cheeks flushed.
“I wanted to hold you so quickly that I couldn’t bear to waste time undoing each button.”
“......!”
The position changed in an instant.
Seung-hyun laid Ye-won on the bed and firmly restrained her wrists above her head.
Seung-hyun’s eyes, which had seemed to have no intention, were shining brightly under the dim light.
“I guess my unnecessary consideration was misplaced. I was just holding back to the point of physical pain.”
“Uht!”
Seung-hyun immediately swallowed Ye-won’s breast into his mouth.
His hot tongue swirled around the peak, drawing circles.
Perhaps because it had been so long, even that was stimulating enough to quickly heat up Ye-won’s body.
But Seung-hyun wasn’t one to stop there.
He parted her spread thighs and pushed her underwear aside.
Then he brought his fingers to Ye-won.
“Eung.”
Ye-won’s body trembled slightly as he touched her embarrassingly wet spot.
Since she was already soaked, Seung-hyun’s fingers could move more freely around Ye-won’s depths, as if sliding.
“Hut. It tickles.”
Ye-won was embarrassed by her body’s response, as if she had been waiting for Seung-hyun too much, but she didn’t avoid the stimulation he gave her at all.
Because of that, Seung-hyun’s breathing became rougher.
“Spread your legs a little more.”
“Hut!”
As soon as she spread her knees apart as Seung-hyun instructed, he pushed his fingers into Ye-won.
Ye-won’s body reflexively jerked greatly at the fingertips digging into the parted crevice.
“Aah.”
With the touch feeling unusually stimulating, the lewd, wet sound became clearer and clearer.
It was also her first time being stimulated by his fingers alone, and Ye-won shuddered at the unfamiliar pleasure.
As that happened, her knees spread further and further apart, and she squeezed Seung-hyun’s fingers tighter.
Ye-won didn’t push Seung-hyun away at all, even as her body trembled from the overwhelming tightness.
She loved all the stimulation he gave her.
“Haah. I feel so good.”
“You’re so sexy today.”
Seung-hyun pulled his hand out of Ye-won’s hot interior and leaned down to kiss her.
Not wanting to allow even the slightest gap, Ye-won wrapped her arms around Seung-hyun’s neck and hugged him tightly.
Their tongues intertwined hotly, sucking each other strongly as if to pull out the roots.
They were true to their instincts, as if they were about to pour out all the desires they had been holding back onto each other at once.
Even before they had properly made love, Ye-won’s heart was pounding so hard that she felt like she had experienced several climaxes.
Sufficient kisses and caresses were good, but now she wanted Seung-hyun to enter her as soon as possible.
Eventually, when their lips parted for a moment, Ye-won stared intently at Seung-hyun and said,
“Let’s do it quickly now. I can’t take it anymore.”
“I agree.”
It was a hot, deep, and lewd night.
They explored each other all night without closing their eyes for a moment.
After Seung-hyun went to work,
Ye-won blushed as she recalled the words she had moaned and shouted in his arms last night.
─’Deeper. More... do more.’
─’It feels so good there. Aah.’
“Crazy, Kim Ye-won.”
Even though she had been intimate with Seung-hyun quite a lot, there had never been a night when she was so honest.
It was embarrassing to recall, but it was also a night when she felt a lot because she was so sincere.
Ye-won couldn’t hide the smiles that kept leaking out as she gave Seo-yul formula and tidied up the house.
She thought that provoking Seung-hyun first last night, instead of just letting it pass, was the second best thing she had done after giving birth to Seo-yul.
A little later, Mrs. Choi and the nanny who took care of Seo-yul during the day arrived.
“Oh my. Did Seo-yul have a lot of trouble sleeping last night? You look like you didn’t get any sleep.”
The nanny spoke with a worried voice as soon as she saw Ye-won.
Ye-won was embarrassed because she hadn’t been able to sleep for reasons other than Seo-yul.
“No. I just had a restless sleep.”
But she couldn’t lie to the nanny who took care of Seo-yul about the baby’s condition after a good night’s sleep.
So Ye-won could only smile awkwardly.
“Then go in and get some sleep early today.”
“Okay, thank you for your help today too.”
Embarrassed, Ye-won ran to the bedroom as if fleeing.
When she checked her face in the mirror on the dressing table, her cheeks were flushed red.
‘Come to think of it, we were here yesterday...’
Ye-won’s eyes stared intently at the dressing table.
The history of the night wasn’t just made in the bedroom.
She had also leaned against the dressing table as if collapsing and accepted Seung-hyun.
The reason that was the most memorable was that when she raised her head, she could see the sight of them making love in the mirror.
The sight of Seung-hyun holding her waist and pelvis and thrusting into her to the very end excited Ye-won even more.
Just recalling it made her feel damp down below.
“Haah, really.”
Ye-won shook her head, wondering if this was a disease if it was too severe, and went to the bed and lay down.
Then she took out her cell phone, thinking of contacting Seung-hyun.
“Oh? It’s Seung-hyun.”
But a message had already arrived from him.
Ye-won hummed as she checked the message.
[Let’s have lunch together today. I’ll send a car to pick you up at the right time.]
They occasionally had lunch dates like this, but today felt a little different.
She didn’t know why, though.
[Okay, I’d love to. But aren’t you tired?]
Ye-won moved her fingers across the screen and replied.
It didn’t take long for a reply to come back.
[I’m fine. Even if I’m tired, this kind of tiredness is always welcome.]
“Tch, he says that.”
Ye-won pouted.
If Ye-won hadn’t climbed onto his body first last night, nothing would have happened.
No, they would have just kissed again and fallen asleep.
At first, she was just disappointed, but then she was also grateful that Seung-hyun had held back for her sake, even though he was so full of desire.
It was an unwelcome consideration, but his actions were, after all, love.
“Haah, this is nice.”
Perhaps because of the very satisfying night, Ye-won kept smiling.
She was already looking forward to the lunch date that would happen a little later.
“Seo-yul, Mommy’s going out.”
Ye-won waved lightly, greeting the sleeping Seo-yul with only her lips moving.
As the saying goes, “it wouldn’t hurt even if they went into my eyes,” Ye-won found everything about Seo-yul so pretty and lovely.
Of course, childcare was hard, but Seo-yul’s smile washed everything away.
Ye-won filled her eyes with Seo-yul’s image and then left the house.
“Good afternoon, Madam.”
“Oh my. Hello.”
As Seung-hyun had said, a car was parked in front of the house, waiting for Ye-won.
Ye-won’s eyes widened when she recognized the person getting out of the driver’s seat.
It was Seung-hyun’s personal secretary.
“Have you been well? Congratulations on your delivery, though it’s a little late.”
“Thank you.”
Come to think of it, it was the first time she had seen him since giving birth.
They greeted each other warmly.
It was a bit strange for him to be there, as Seung-hyun rarely asked his secretary to do personal errands.
The car drove along the road and arrived at a hotel.
The very place they had come to when they didn’t know each other’s feelings, and where she had cried and returned.
As Ye-won rolled her eyes with a slightly confused expression, Seung-hyun’s personal secretary, who had finished parking, turned his head slightly.
“The CEO had a meeting at this hotel. You can go straight up to the room.”
“Ah, I see. All right.”
Ye-won took the room key he handed her and got out of the car alone.
She walked towards the elevator and checked the room number written on the card.
She took the elevator without any particular thought and arrived in front of the room.
When Ye-won took out the card and placed it on the door lock, the door opened with a ‘beep’ sound.
The room she walked into after turning the doorknob was a Royal Suite Room, surprisingly spacious and exuding luxury.
“Wow.”
It was a fantastic room that made her exclaim in admiration.
Ye-won was looking around and walking inside.
“You’re here?”
“Oh my! Seung-hyun.”
Ye-won was startled by Seung-hyun’s presence, who had arrived first.
What was even more surprising was that he was wearing a bathrobe.
There was still moisture on the firm chest muscles visible between the robe, as if he had just taken a shower.
Even though she tried not to, her eyes kept being drawn to that area.
“What are you peeking at like that?”
“Peek... I wasn’t peeking!”
Feeling unnecessarily embarrassed, Ye-won even stuttered.
Seung-hyun got up from his seat, regardless of what Ye-won did.
Then he walked slowly towards Ye-won.
Gulp.
Dry saliva went down Ye-won’s throat.
He was definitely her husband, but... seeing Seung-hyun at a hotel, especially during the day, was very unfamiliar.
“Ye-won.”
Seung-hyun grabbed Ye-won’s hand and placed it on the string of his bathrobe.
Ye-won, sensing the unusual atmosphere, closed her mouth and raised her head to look up at him.
“Undress me.”
“Pardon?”
“All I could think about was you from yesterday while I was working, and I couldn’t take it anymore.”
“......”
“I’ve been standing uncomfortably all morning.”
The subject was omitted, but Ye-won could immediately tell what he was referring to.
Naturally, Ye-won’s gaze went down to Seung-hyun’s lower body.
“You can think of me as a crazy guy for calling you to a hotel at this time, unable to wait until night. I think I’ve lost my mind because I want to be with you.”
Even though he kept saying lewd and obscene things, Ye-won didn’t dislike it at all.
“I guess I’ve lost my mind too, seeing as I’m happy to hear that.”
Ye-won replied and untied the string of Seung-hyun’s bathrobe.
Then, his center, standing straight as if it would touch his navel, came into view.
“It’s a relief we’re both perverts.”
Seung-hyun grabbed Ye-won’s chin and overlapped their lips.
As soon as they started kissing, Seung-hyun’s hands moved busily, stripping Ye-won of all her clothes.
Because they had forgotten to close the curtains, the sunlight coming in through the glass wall was dazzlingly bright.
Normally, she would have curled up in embarrassment, but she didn’t have time to care about that.
Ye-won was already wet enough for her underwear to be sticking to her, so they became one without any further preparation.
“Heeut.”
As the increasingly loud sound of their skin rubbing together deepened and subsided, Ye-won’s toes curled.
Even the slightest movement awakened countless unfamiliar sensations.
As she moved her hips and kissed, Ye-won could feel Seung-hyun growing larger and larger inside her.
“Aah, Seung-hyun, I feel so good.”
With the intensifying movements, Ye-won felt more and more, and she wanted Seung-hyun to come deeper inside her.
As she hugged Seung-hyun tightly, not knowing what to do, he seemed to understand her feelings and thrust his hips even harder.
“Ah, it’s so deep.”
“Should I go a little slower?”
“No. Keep going deep.”
Even though it was almost too much to handle, Ye-won wanted to keep taking Seung-hyun.
She didn’t want to be separated from him even for a moment, so she hugged him with her whole body.
“Haang.”
The white light flashed before her eyes repeatedly, like lightning.
Ye-won instinctively held onto Seung-hyun tighter, feeling as if something condensed in her body would burst at any moment.
She also loved Seung-hyun’s rough breaths scattered on her neck and chest.
All the intense stimulation Seung-hyun gave her was so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe.
“Haah.”
“Ye-won.”
The accelerating speed and her trembling body indicated that the end was near.
The pleasure, which had started from her toes and quickly climbed up her back, filled her head.
“Heut!”
“Aah.”
Seung-hyun’s clasped hands tensed up.
It was the climax.
She could feel Seung-hyun’s essence pulsing inside her body.
He was pouring himself into her.
Ye-won found Seung-hyun, who was above her, frowning and trembling, very sexy.
“I love you, Ye-won.”
“I love you too, Seung-hyun.”
They found each other’s lips again.
It was a new beginning.
After that, Seung-hyun and Ye-won spent nights together as often as before.
Although they were physically tired, they were radiant.
It was inevitable, as they had satisfied their pent-up desires to their hearts’ content.
Although Seung-hyun still felt thirsty for Ye-won, they were taking each other more than they had during their honeymoon.
Then one day.
“That’s strange.”
Ye-won, who was looking at the calendar to check her schedule, tilted her head.
She had forgotten, but now she realized that it had been two weeks past her expected period, and there was no sign of it.
That one day at the hotel for lunch, they had been carried away by excitement and didn’t use contraception.
It was just that one time, so she thought it was unlikely that it would lead to pregnancy.
‘Could it be.’
She had an ominous feeling.
The second child plan that Seung-hyun and she had set was to have more children, not just Seo-yul.
But they hadn’t even considered having children back-to-back, which was as difficult as having twins.
If she was pregnant, she would naturally give birth...
But she definitely wanted it not to be the case.
‘It’s not going to be.’
Ye-won got up from her seat, saying those words to herself as if casting a spell.
Inside Ye-won’s bag, which she had just brought back from the pharmacy, was a pregnancy test.
She also bought digestive medicine to take in case she wasn’t pregnant, because she felt a slight indigestion.
It was because she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
‘But should I do it after Seung-hyun comes home later?’
Ye-won’s steps, which were about to head to the bathroom with the test, stopped.
She remembered when Seo-yul was first conceived, when she wasn’t in this kind of relationship with Seung-hyun, and she had confirmed her pregnancy alone and despaired.
Even now, it made her feel sorry for Seo-yul.
The situation was unavoidable at that time, but Ye-won didn’t want to repeat that day.
Of course, she might not be pregnant.
But this time, Ye-won wanted to see two lines and receive abundant congratulations from Seung-hyun, even for Seo-yul’s share.
“I’m going to stop worrying too. Even if it’s just a cell, it’s in my body, so it’ll definitely feel my mood.”
Ye-won, who had been wearing a gloomy face, shook her head and decided to change her mind.
Speaking out loud seemed to have more power than just thinking in her head, so Ye-won spoke to herself again.
“What if it’s back-to-back? It’s okay. How blessed is it that a baby has come to me?”
After saying that, she seemed to gain courage.
Even if she took the test, she would be able to happily accept two lines with this kind of mindset.
Ye-won decided to have only good thoughts for that moment.
The next morning began, as usual, with Seoyul’s cries.
Seung-Hyun naturally picked up Seoyul and started preparing formula.
“Whenever I see you, it feels like you’re better at parenting than I am.”
“I’m just good at everything, aren’t I?”
Though it was clearly a joke, it didn’t sound like one. Yewon couldn’t help but chuckle.
With a smile in his eyes, Seung-Hyun leaned over and kissed Yewon’s cheek with a loud “smack.”
He then sat on the couch and began feeding Seoyul her bottle.
“I’ll be back soon. Wait for me.”
Instead of replying, Yewon nodded, and Seung-Hyun grinned brightly.
When Yewon had mentioned earlier that her period was late and she needed to check in the morning, Seung-Hyun had lit up just as he had when Seoyul was born.
Though this was their second pregnancy, it felt like the first all over again. Yewon smiled warmly, mirroring Seung-Hyun’s joy.
At that moment, Yewon realized something.
Her fear about possibly being pregnant wasn’t because she didn’t want another child close in age—it was because the fear she’d felt when she first learned about Seoyul’s arrival had resurfaced.
“I’ll be right back.”
With a much lighter heart, Yewon headed to the bathroom.
Even if she were pregnant now, she wouldn’t be alone. There was nothing to fear.
Every moment felt like a gift.
________________________________________
The sweltering heat of summer arrived.
This year, Seoyul, who had just turned seven, insisted that the whole family go to the beach.
“Wow, the airplane is so big!”
Seoyul, wearing a cute straw hat and a cool sundress, shouted excitedly. From either side of her, two figures approached.
“Sister, where? Which airplane?”
“I saw that light blue one over there!”
“Sister’s right—it’s huge! Wow, the airplane’s moving!”
Clamoring to get closer to Seoyul and say just one more word were her twin siblings, Seojun and Seowon.
Despite the common belief that children close in age often fight, Seoyul, Seojun, and Seowon got along beautifully, much to everyone’s gratitude.
While Seoyul naturally adored her younger siblings, Seung-Hyun’s persistent teachings—that boys should protect their mothers and sisters—also played a part.
In any case, Seung-Hyun and Yewon were endlessly thankful for their harmonious trio of children.
Watching the kids, the couple still exchanged honey-sweet glances, drinking in each other’s presence.
After all, without each other, they never could have built such a happy home.
“Mom, where are we going again?”
At that moment, Seoyul turned her head toward Yewon and asked.
“We’re going to Hawaii.”
It was the family’s first overseas trip together.
And also, belatedly, Seung-Hyun and Yewon’s honeymoon.
Though they had made plans countless times before, something always came up, preventing them from booking tickets. But this time, miraculously, nothing went wrong.
Not only that, but Han-Joo, their grandfather, had encouraged them to take a break from work and enjoy the trip guilt-free.
Han-Joo had even urged them repeatedly the night before to leave the three kids behind and enjoy a proper honeymoon just the two of them.
But Seung-Hyun and Yewon decided that a family trip wouldn’t feel meaningful unless all of them went together.
Of course, it was unlikely they’d find much alone time, but that was fine.
“That’s right! Since it’s so far, we’ll sleep and eat on the plane, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Wow! So exciting! Sleeping and eating on the plane! It’s going to be so much fun!”
“Me too!”
“Me too!”
Seojun and Seowon echoed Seoyul’s excitement.
How could they possibly leave the kids behind when even this simple detail brought them so much joy?
Even if they had decided to go alone, they would’ve felt empty the entire trip.
Seung-Hyun and Yewon reaffirmed that their decision to bring the whole family was the right one.
“Alright, it’s time to board the plane. Shall we go in?”
“Let’s go! I want to hold Dad’s hand!”
“No, me!”
As usual, Seojun and Seowon launched into their battle for Dad’s attention.
When this happened, Seoyul would grin widely and run to Yewon, hugging her tightly.
“My mom’s mine!”
“Our sweet daughter, thank you for coming to Mommy.”
It was shaping up to be a wonderful trip.
Though the long flight caused some whining from the kids, they held up remarkably well.
Due to the time difference, they arrived in Hawaii at midday, just like when they left Korea.
“Wow, it’s beautiful.”
Yewon gasped as she stepped into the airport, captivated by the exotic atmosphere.
She thought she might feel less impressed since she’d seen so many photos of Hawaii while planning the trip.
But the moment she stepped out of the airport, she couldn’t take her eyes off the breathtaking scenery.
They checked into the hotel, changed into swimsuits, and the family of five headed straight to the beach.
“Mom! The ocean sparkles like stars! It’s so pretty! Can I go in the water now?”
“First, splash some water on yourself. Mom and Dad will join you soon.”
“Okay!”
Just like her nickname, Seoyul loved the sea.
After warming up properly, Seoyul jumped into the water with a splash.
Soon, Seojun and Seowon followed their sister, squealing with delight as the waves crashed around them.
Yewon watched her children proudly when she felt something drape over her shoulder.
Turning her head, she saw Seung-Hyun standing beside her, his arm around her shoulders, gazing in the same direction.
Soon, his gaze shifted to her.
“Tired?”
“Not at all! I’m having so much fun, I don’t feel tired at all. The kids are enjoying themselves, and even though it was a long journey, choosing Hawaii was such a great idea.”
Excited, Yewon found herself talking more than usual.
As always, Seung-Hyun looked at her with eyes full of love.
His unwavering affection never ceased to amaze her.
Though Yewon loved him just as deeply, she was endlessly grateful for the overwhelming love he continued to give her.
“Thank you for giving me this dreamlike happiness.”
“Thank you too. If it weren’t for you, my life would still be unhappy.”
“That would never happen. I would have found you somehow, no matter what.”
Their love story, which had an extraordinary beginning, remained just as sweet and intense even in Hawaii—a level of affection that others might call “cringeworthy.”
Yewon still marveled at how their love never faded but instead kept bubbling up like a fresh spring.
“You know I love you a lot, right?”
“I know, but I want you to show it more. I’m always thirsty for your love.”
Seung-Hyun pulled Yewon close with his strong arms and kissed her cheek loudly.
If the kids hadn’t been around, it would have been more than just a peck.
“I love you, Yewon.”
“I love you so much too.”
Seung-Hyun brought his lips close to Yewon’s ear and whispered softly.
“I’m not good with words, so tonight, I’ll show you just how much I love you—with my body.”
Yewon blushed deeply and playfully tapped Seung-Hyun’s chest with her hand.
Even after years of hearing such things, she still couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
But there was no refusal in her heart.
As shy as she felt, she loved being with Seung-Hyun.
Overcome by the joy of the trip, Yewon said something she normally wouldn’t have.
“Once won’t be enough—make sure you do it multiple times, okay?”
The teasing remark spread a wide smile across both their faces.
It was a happy life together.
Their future seemed so bright that nothing else could make them envious. The path ahead for their family of five would surely be filled with flowers.
________________________________________
“Mom, I’m going now!”
“Be careful and come back safely. My beloved Seoyul, Seojun, and Seowon.”
At the school gate, Yewon kissed each of her three children on the forehead and smiled warmly.
She waved cheerfully as they walked toward the school, happiness radiating from her face as she watched their retreating figures.
“Phew.”
Yewon stood there until the kids were out of sight before turning around.
She immediately reached into her pocket to check her phone and saw a message from Seung-Hyun.
[Today’s the flower arrangement class, right? I’ll pick you up when it’s over. See you later.]
With every passing year—or even every single day—Seung-Hyun became sweeter, and Yewon couldn’t stop smiling.
[Okay, thank you.]
She didn’t particularly like the idea of him taking time out of his busy schedule to pick her up for her hobby lessons.
But knowing Seung-Hyun, he wouldn’t listen if she tried to refuse.
After replying, Yewon gazed at the family photo set as her phone’s wallpaper.
Now that she had finally built the warm, loving family she’d always dreamed of, sometimes she wondered if she was living in a sweet dream.
As she smiled brightly while looking at the screen, something caught her eye.
“Huh?”
Something landed on the screen with a soft tap . She looked up.
It was snow—March snow.
“I don’t remember hearing anything about snow today.”
Snow in late March, just days before the spring equinox—it was unexpected.
Though the air was still chilly, snow hadn’t crossed her mind. Watching the flakes fall gently, like butterflies, made her feel like she’d received an unexpected gift.
Looking up at the sky, Yewon opened her phone’s camera and pointed it upward to capture the softly falling snow.
“It’s beautiful.”
She muttered quietly to herself, then selected a well-taken photo and sent it to Seung-Hyun.
[It would’ve been even prettier if you were here with me. ♥]
What was the point of having floor-to-ceiling glass windows if he wasn’t even looking outside?
Knowing how focused he got during work, he probably hadn’t even noticed the snow.
Yewon hurriedly sent the message, wanting to be the first to tell him about the snow.
Whether or not he appreciated it, she didn’t know—but it didn’t matter.
“The weather is cold today. Let’s get going.”
“Ah, yes.”
She had been so absorbed in watching the rare snowfall that she hadn’t noticed the driver approaching.
Yewon climbed into the car alongside the chauffeur. The interior, which had been lively with the kids earlier, was now filled with soft music.
After gazing at the snowy scenery for a bit longer, Yewon closed her eyes, leaned her head against the headrest, and basked in the peaceful quiet.
“Ah, the weather is nice… everything is nice.”
It felt like one of those days where something good was bound to happen.
Of course, it would likely end up being just another ordinary day.
This year, all three of her children—Seoyul, Seojun, and Seowon—had entered elementary school. They were precious enough to put into anyone’s eyes without causing pain.
She had heard plenty about the new challenges that came with this stage, but Yewon had already planned to take back some parts of her life once the kids started school.
Having grown up alone, she had always wanted to raise her children herself until they reached elementary school age to fill the void left by the absence of parental love.
Except for when she was sick, she had rarely been apart from the three kids. Now that they were in school, she finally felt like she could breathe a little easier.
And today’s flower arrangement class—the first session she had eagerly signed up for—made her even more excited.
─”I really hope you start prioritizing what you want to do. Sometimes it feels like you’re the only parent shouldering responsibility for the kids. Of course, I understand your feelings better than anyone, but starting next year, all the kids will be in elementary school, so I hope you can let go a little. I’m here too, you know.”
Last summer, Seung-Hyun had spoken those heartfelt words to her.
He had always said similar things before, but this time, it truly resonated with her.
After years of focusing solely on parenting, it wasn’t easy to suddenly think about what she wanted to do.
Her biggest wish was to have quiet reading time with coffee, but beyond that, she struggled to imagine what else she could pursue.
Realistically, there weren’t many options.
“Why did dating come to mind first?”
Even she found it ridiculous to think about such a thing.
It wasn’t that she wanted to date someone else.
What saddened her was that she and Seung-Hyun hadn’t been able to have a normal courtship before marriage—they had started with a contract.
─”How did Dad and Mom meet? Did Dad chase after Mom because Mom’s as pretty as a princess?”
As the kids grew older, they occasionally asked questions like that.
At first, she had been flustered, but now she could answer casually.
─”Of course. Your dad chased me endlessly.”
She could even joke about it now.
What saddened her was that she didn’t have any romantic memories to share with the kids.
Sure, they had fallen in love properly after realizing their feelings for each other—but by then, she was either pregnant or busy raising the kids, so their enjoyment was limited.
She knew she couldn’t turn back time.
If it were possible, her number one wish would be to relive a normal romance with Seung-Hyun.
Walking through the streets, sharing snacks, watching movies, strolling down pretty paths wherever their feet took them, and chatting leisurely.
“Am I being silly?”
Yewon felt a little embarrassed for still wishing for such things.
Just as she absentmindedly lifted the tip of her shoe and then lowered it, she felt a vibration in her pocket.
Thinking it might be Seung-Hyun’s reply, she quickly pulled out her phone.
Seeing his name on the screen made her lips curl into a wide smile.
[We can see it together. And you’re prettier.]
His sweet words made her feel like she was surrounded by the scent of blooming flowers, even as snow poured down heavily.
How could her feelings for him keep growing stronger with each passing day?
Yewon wondered if there was something wrong with her heart—it still fluttered for Seung-Hyun as if she were a teenager in love.
[See you later.]
Even though they’d just ride home together, Yewon couldn’t wait for that moment.
The car, filled with anticipation, soon arrived at its destination.
“You’ve worked hard. It seems the roads might be slippery because of the snow. Be careful getting inside.”
“Thank you for worrying about me. See you tomorrow, Madam.”
As soon as the car stopped, Yewon thanked the chauffeur.
Worried that he might get out to open the door for her, she hurried even more.
No matter how many years passed, some things just never felt natural.
“Yes, see you tomorrow.”
As Yewon reached for the handle, something unexpected happened.
“Huh?”
The door suddenly swung open.
Surprised, Yewon turned to look, her already large eyes widening further.
“Why aren’t you getting out?”
“What are you doing here?”
Am I seeing things?
Yewon blinked rapidly as she stared at Seung-Hyun, who was standing there with his hand extended toward her.
Instead of answering, Seung-Hyun waved his hand, urging her to grab it.
Still bewildered, Yewon instinctively took his hand and stepped out of the car.
“I wanted to see the snow with you.”
Pulling her close, Seung-Hyun whispered into her ear.
Startled, Yewon furrowed her brow and pushed lightly against his chest.
“You came all the way here just for that one line?”
What have I done to this busy man?
Sadly, Seung-Hyun nodded.
“Why are you saying ‘just’? Your words are always my top priority.”
“But still… you’re so busy.”
Half of her heart was thrilled; the other half felt guilty.
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she stared at him, confused.
Being overly delighted might make her seem immature, but pushing him away completely might hurt his feelings.
Yewon felt torn.
“Starting this year, I want to make this day our anniversary.”
“Our… anniversary?”
Her already chaotic thoughts were thrown into further disarray.
His unpredictable actions were one thing, but now his cryptic words left her feeling mentally blocked.
She felt like she was missing something important.
Despite trying her best to think, nothing came to mind.
“Stop frowning.”
Apparently, her confusion was written all over her face.
Seung-Hyun chuckled and gently rubbed her forehead with his thumb.
Finally, Yewon managed to smile along with him.
“What day is it?”
“Don’t you remember?”
“…Sorry. No matter how hard I try, I can’t figure it out.”
She shook her head apologetically, but Seung-Hyun didn’t look upset in the slightest.
She was so grateful for his thoughtfulness.
“The day you came to me.”
“But our wedding anniversary already passed, didn’t it?”
“Do you really not remember what we did that day?”
The memory vividly came back to Yewon, and her cheeks flushed red.
That day, he had been like a wild beast.
Trying to hide her embarrassment, she coughed awkwardly and shifted her gaze before meeting his eyes again.
“Which day are you talking about? Tell me.”
She wondered if it was the day they first made love.
But that was close to their wedding anniversary, so she dismissed the thought.
In the midst of her growing curiosity, Seung-Hyun finally spoke.
“It’s the day you started working for me.”
“My first day at work? How did you even... and why would you make that our anniversary?”
It was completely unexpected.
As she tried to recall, it did seem like her start date had been around this time.
It was such a long time ago that even Yewon, the person involved, couldn’t quite remember.
“I remembered you saying how you wished we had an anniversary for when we started dating, not just our wedding anniversary. So I looked it up.”
“So you’re saying we should commemorate a random day like that?”
“How is it random? It’s the day you first came to me.”
“It’s still not right. I didn’t mean to make things up when I said that.”
“The fact that my eyes lingered on you from the very beginning is undeniable.”
It might have been a lie, but in that moment, Yewon’s heart fluttered.
“And the dates we never got to do properly—let’s start doing them now.”
“What?”
“I waited quietly until all our kids entered elementary school, so you could feel comfortable. Now it’s our time.”
With a sly smile, Seung-Hyun walked over to his car and opened the passenger door.
From inside, he pulled out a large bouquet of flowers and approached Yewon.
The bouquet, decorated with pastel-toned flowers, had delicate snowflakes resting on it.
“Yewon, will you date me?”
Seung-Hyun handed her the bouquet with a teasing tone.
They already had three kids and had been married for years, so the idea of dating seemed odd—but Yewon couldn’t help but smile warmly.
She took a deep breath, the sweet scent of flowers filling her lungs.
Just standing there together under the falling snow made her happy, and Seung-Hyun’s surprise event made her laugh uncontrollably.
“I’ll… think about it.”
Deciding to go for it, Yewon resolved to try everything she’d ever wanted.
Their marriage had started as a contract, so this moment felt surreal.
As if returning to their first meeting, Yewon gave her playful reply.
“Think about it?”
Seung-Hyun’s gaze was so warm it felt scorching, and Yewon thought she might melt.
Instead of answering, she nodded and widened her eyes.
“I’m impatient by nature, so waiting isn’t easy for me.”
Saying this, Seung-Hyun leaned his upper body toward her.
Seeing him tilt his head slightly, Yewon realized he was about to kiss her.
Without thinking, she closed her eyes softly, anticipating his lips.
But instead of the warmth she expected, she felt a ticklish sensation on the back of her neck.
“Huh?”
Wondering what it was, she opened her eyes just as something gently landed below her collarbone.
Lowering her gaze, she saw a necklace with a sparkling pendant hanging there.
“Suddenly, what’s this?”
“I figured winning your heart wouldn’t be easy, so I prepared a few things.”
“...”
“You’ve always been such a difficult woman to me. I’ll do my best to make you happy, so won’t you accept my feelings?”
Her hand, holding the bouquet, moved absentmindedly to fiddle with the pendant.
Seung-Hyun had prepared so much that Yewon’s resolve to act aloof crumbled completely.
“I’m not a difficult woman—I must be an easy one, since I melt at just one line from you.”
Standing on her tiptoes, Yewon kissed Seung-Hyun first.
She had been expecting a kiss, so she felt a twinge of regret when it didn’t happen immediately.
Their lips brushed lightly before parting, leaving both smiling widely.
“Go to your first class. I’ll wait patiently until it’s over.”
“I don’t like that. It feels like I’m taking time away from your busy schedule.”
“Knowing you’d say that, I canceled all my appointments today.”
“What?”
Yewon’s eyes widened like saucers.
“And I want to steal some time from you. Stop thinking about me so much and be selfish for once. Even if I’m working late, call me and demand I come home early because you miss me.”
“If I acted on every impulse, you wouldn’t get anything done.”
“So what? It’s for you, after all.”
Even if he only meant it in words, Yewon was deeply grateful. But looking into his eyes, she could tell he was sincere.
More than the flowers or the necklace, his heartfelt confession made her heart flutter—it was an unexpected gift, like March snow.
“Go to your class. When you come back, let’s go on a date.”
Seung-Hyun embraced her, stroking her hair gently.
The large bouquet between them made their position awkward, but Yewon didn’t mind.
If she could, she wanted to skip the class and go on a date right then.
But canceling a one-on-one lesson last minute would be rude, so she reluctantly turned to leave.
________________________________________
Seung-Hyun gazed up at the building where Yewon’s class was being held and smiled faintly.
He had worried that his sudden appearance might make her uncomfortable.
But Yewon loved the flowers and the necklace—he could see it in her delighted expression.
Watching her happiness made Seung-Hyun’s heart race even more than hers.
“Time seems to be moving so slowly.”
Sitting in a café, sipping warm coffee, Seung-Hyun checked his watch and muttered to himself.
He thought at least an hour had passed, but barely thirty minutes had gone by.
This realization made him feel guilty.
Most of the waiting between them had always fallen on Yewon’s shoulders.
Especially during those years when he had left her feeling lonely—he couldn’t help but sigh at the thought of how hard it must have been for her.
Taking another sip of coffee, Seung-Hyun recalled a conversation they’d had.
—”If you could go back before we were married, what would you most want to do?”
It was a question born from his regret of tying her precious moments to a contract marriage.
If there was anything he could do now to make up for it, he wanted to try.
—”If I could go back… I’d want to date normally.”
—”Date?”
________________________________________
At that moment, he couldn’t help but imagine Yewon holding hands with another man.
The thought darkened his expression so much that he struggled to hide it.
Though logically he understood her perspective, his heart and mind felt conflicted.
Not wanting to ruin the moment, Seung-Hyun quickly raised his wine glass to his lips, pretending to drink while hiding his face.
—”I mean dating you. If I could go back, I’d want to marry you through love, not a contract.”
Her words sent his heart racing wildly.
It was fascinating how her every word shifted his emotions so intensely.
Clearly, his presence had seeped deeper into her heart than he’d realized.
—”Every time the kids ask about us, I hate that I can only tell lies.”
Not wanting to pass on her own wounds, Yewon had always done her best for the children.
Hearing her guilt made his heart ache.
That’s why he had waited and planned this event—to ease her burden, even if it couldn’t erase the past entirely.
There was no rule against couples dating, after all.
“I need to do better.”
She had given him happiness far beyond what he deserved.
Flipping through old photos on his phone, Seung-Hyun reflected on their journey.
The shadows he once noticed on Yewon’s face during the early days of their marriage had completely vanished.
Determined to keep her beautiful smile intact, he vowed to shower her with endless happiness.
While Yewon was in class, Seung-Hyun spent all his time thinking about her.
Time, which had dragged earlier, now flew by unnoticed.
And then, the center of his world appeared before him.
“I’m done, honey.”
Even if he devoted the rest of his life to her, it wouldn’t be enough.
“Now, let’s go on our date.”
The woman who had transformed his entire life stood before him.
Because of her, his life had begun to sparkle—and he wanted to give her everything.
Seung-Hyun stood up and cupped the back of Yewon’s head with his large hand, pulling her in for a kiss.
If it were up to him, he’d do much more.
Though they were alone except for the staff, he kept the kiss short and sweet.
“Oh my. What if someone sees?”
“Who cares?”
Yewon pushed lightly against his chest, her cheeks flushed.
Seung-Hyun deliberately wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.
Her eyes, wide and clear like the first snow, sparkled with innocence.
“After the kids’ academy sessions… we’ll have plenty of time to ourselves.”
“Are you sure canceling your schedule like this is okay?”
Seung-Hyun narrowed his eyes at Yewon’s question.
“Do you still think you’re taking my time?”
“Of course.”
“Then I guess I’ll have to make sure you stop thinking that way.”
“What do you mean by…?”
“I think it’s time to reward this anticipation.”
Though nothing explicit was said, Yewon clearly understood.
He had been worried about ruining the mood by suddenly bringing up intimacy after mentioning a date—but he needn’t have worried.
“You won’t disappoint me, right?”
“Why would you even ask? You know better than anyone.”
Without hesitation, Yewon accepted his proposal.
For a couple to fit together so perfectly in every way—it truly was a blessing.
________________________________________
Their marital life reignited with passion.
Though they had separate rooms for the kids, they had always shared the same bed in the past.
Now that they were finally sleeping separately, Seung-Hyun wasted no time in claiming Yewon whenever he could.
Of course, Yewon wanted it too, so they spent every night together.
“Today, you must be tired from your class. Should we just sleep?”
Seung-Hyun pressed his body against hers and asked.
Yewon couldn’t help but laugh softly as she felt something firm pressing against her thigh.
“What about this?”
Turning to face him, she gestured downward with her eyes.
It was unmistakably ready, tapping insistently against her inner thigh.
Yewon knew exactly what Seung-Hyun was up to.
Moments like these revealed how skilled he was at hiding his true feelings.
To suggest skipping tonight while obviously aroused—it was almost disrespectful to the anticipation building within him.
Yewon parted her legs slightly and moved closer to him.
The position was dangerously slippery, as if she might slide into him at any moment.
After nearly a month of spending every night together, simply going to sleep felt inadequate.
“Your words and actions don’t match at all.”
“Of course they don’t, when your body is touching mine.”
“Then don’t say those things while you’re doing this.”
Ye-won found Seung-hyun, who was much bigger than her, very cute.
She thought about teasing him, but the increasingly moist heat between her legs made her even more impatient.
Ye-won, who had been moving her body little by little, slyly climbed on top of Seung-hyun.
The blanket, which had been covering them, fell down, revealing their bare bodies.
Ye-won could feel the blood rushing to Seung-hyun’s lower body.
“Are you really okay with this?”
“It’s not that you don’t want to, is it?”
“Of course not.”
His large hands covered and caressed Ye-won’s round breasts.
As he rubbed her sensitive spots and slightly twisted them as if pinching, her breaths grew hotter.
“Eung.”
Ye-won’s back straightened as she moaned.
Ye-won’s blood flowed faster with Seung-hyun’s hands, who knew her body better than she did.
Ye-won, who had been passively receiving the stimulation he gave her, suddenly felt that she couldn’t take it anymore.
“Please, hold my hand.”
Instead of answering, Seung-hyun held Ye-won’s hand.
Then Ye-won moved her hips slightly, as if searching for something.
And a little later.
“Ha-eut.”
Ye-won moaned and threw her head back.
She felt fuller than usual, and she started to feel it from the beginning.
“Haah.”
“Seung-hyun.”
As soon as Ye-won called his name, Seung-hyun placed his hands on her hips.
Then he started to move his body quickly.
“Ah, it’s too... eut.”
The pleasure from the deep act, which made it impossible to speak, was tremendous.
She felt dizzy, as if her body would break at any moment.
The room was filled with the lewd sound of their wet skin rubbing together.
“Heut.”
On the verge of losing her mind, Ye-won collapsed into Seung-hyun’s arms.
The act continued with strong thrusts, as if breaking her, but Ye-won didn’t avoid any of the stimulation he gave her.
“Ye-won.”
“Ah, Seung-hyun.”
They both reached their climax together, running fast inside each other.
Completely soaked, despite having just showered, they breathed heavily, their chests pressed tightly together.
They smiled happily, looking at each other, who were more precious than anyone else.
Seung-hyun, who had been quietly looking at Ye-won, who was lying limply on top of him, kissed her.
A sweet ‘peck’ sound spread through the room.
“I love you, Ye-won.”
“I love you too, so much.”
Seung-hyun, looking like he was about to die from loving Ye-won, who confessed to him, tucked the hair that tickled his cheek behind her ear.
Then he pulled her slightly towards him and whispered in her ear.
“Why are you so pretty? I want to quit everything else and just do this every day.”
“Eut.”
Ye-won flinched as Seung-hyun lightly nibbled on her earlobe.
To make matters worse, he even stuck out his tongue and licked her ear, sending a shiver up her spine.
“They say couples are one mind and one body, and I feel the same way.”
As Ye-won said that, her body slowly slid down.
Soon, Seung-hyun’s heavy moan signaled the start of another round.
Happiness continued to grow endlessly.
Seung-Hyun had been doing his best to erase every ounce of sorrow Yewon had ever felt.
But as always… strangely enough, happiness often seemed to be followed by a shadow of misfortune.
“Mom, don’t come into my room.”
It was because of Seoyul’s sudden change in behavior.
Whether she was trying to mimic her older sister or not, even Seojun and Seowon began acting secretive.
‘Why all of a sudden?’
Yewon fell into deep thought.
Though she had been spending more time on herself lately, she hadn’t neglected the children’s upbringing.
Still, it was concerning that all three kids were suddenly acting this way. As a parent, she couldn’t help but worry.
That day too, the three siblings rushed into their rooms as soon as they returned home from school.
Yewon stared blankly at the firmly closed doors before pacing around the living room.
No matter how much she racked her brain, she couldn’t find a solution.
When Seung-Hyun returned home from work and handed her his jacket, Yewon voiced her concerns with a worried tone.
“Lately, the kids have been… different. It’s worrying me.”
“Hmm? How so?”
Seung-Hyun turned to face Yewon.
For a moment, Yewon wondered if she was being overly sensitive since Seung-Hyun usually noticed changes in the kids faster than she did.
Perhaps the kids just needed some private time for themselves.
With that thought in mind, she hesitated to continue.
As she stood there silently, Seung-Hyun leaned down to meet her gaze.
“Are you feeling upset?”
“Just…,” Yewon bit her lip tightly, overwhelmed by a sudden surge of emotion.
Her nose tingled, and her vision blurred with tears.
She had reassured herself countless times that everything was fine, but the truth was, nothing felt okay.
After holding it together for so long, she finally broke down in front of Seung-Hyun.
“Why are you crying like this?”
Seung-Hyun gently wiped away Yewon’s tears with his thumb.
“It feels like the doors that were always wide open are now firmly shut, and the kids keep making secrets from me… It hurts so much.”
“Does it hurt that much?”
Instead of answering, Yewon nodded and sniffled.
Feeling a bit embarrassed by her whining, she awkwardly forced a smile before speaking again.
“I guess it’s just part of growing up, but I can’t help wondering if I’m overreacting….”
Today was also her birthday.
The words nearly spilled out of her mouth, but she swallowed them back down.
Before marriage, she had never celebrated her birthday, but after marrying Seung-Hyun and truly connecting with him, she started celebrating properly.
At first, being congratulated for being born felt strange and unfamiliar.
But hearing loved ones say, “Thank you for being born,” and “Thank you for giving birth to them,” made her feel cherished.
Gradually, blowing out the candles on her birthday cake became something she looked forward to.
It felt validating, like someone else was acknowledging that she mattered.
So, having her own children forget to wish her a happy birthday made her feel even more bitter.
“There must be a reason for this. Seeing you cry makes my heart ache too.”
Seung-Hyun pulled Yewon into an embrace, gently rubbing her back.
Thankfully, having Seung-Hyun by her side helped her regain some composure.
Only then did she remember that he had just come home after a long day of work.
“Let’s go out and eat dinner.”
“Okay.”
Seung-Hyun squeezed Yewon’s hand reassuringly as he replied.
Yewon steeled herself to hide her emotions during the meal.
With that resolve, she opened the door and headed to the dining room.
“Mom! Happy Birthday!”
“We love you, Mom!”
“Thank you for being born!”
The three siblings, wearing party hats, cheered loudly.
Seoyul held up a cream cake.
“One, two, three!”
And then…
“Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday, dear Mom! Happy Birthday to you!”
The entire dining room filled with their loud, heartfelt singing.
Tears welled up in Yewon’s eyes.
“This is the gift I prepared for you, Mom.”
“We also wrote letters. Take a look!”
It seemed Seoyul had led Seojun and Seowon in making cards and preparing gifts.
Seung-Hyun, who clearly knew about all this, proudly patted the children’s heads.
“Ah…”
Seeing the crooked handwriting and clumsily made cards, Yewon’s emotions surged uncontrollably.
While she had been feeling sorry for herself, thinking the kids were keeping secrets from her, they had actually been preparing this surprise for her.
It was both embarrassing and heartwarming.
“Thank you, thank you so much.”
“Mom, thank you for being born!”
As Yewon tried to hold back her tears, the three kids ran into her arms.
Seung-Hyun wrapped his large arms around the four of them, pulling them close.
“Happy Birthday, my love.”

“You knew about all this, didn’t you?”
Seung-Hyun nodded slightly, his eyes glistening with emotion.
“Thank you for being born and for giving birth to our children.”
“Ha… really.”
“You’re the greatest gift of my life.”
“Sniff…”
At those words, Yewon burst into tears.
Her once monochrome life had been painted with vibrant colors thanks to Seung-Hyun and the three kids.
The life she was building with them was gradually becoming something she cherished deeply.
She was certain that the rest of her days would be filled with happiness as long as she had her family by her side.
Thanks to them, this was the happiest birthday she could have ever imagined.
