"wait a minute!!"
"yes?"
“You… are in too much of a hurry… I don’t have the confidence to tell my parents yet, and marriage is like that too.”
“Didn’t I tell you yesterday?”
"what.."
Then the man sighed and ran his hand through his hair. That was ridiculous.Why are you doing that after doing that?
“Marriage is a condition.”
"yes?"
"The conditions for inheriting the company are marriage and children. For me, now is the perfect opportunity."
“So you’re using me..?”
“..I can’t deny it.”
“Then.. me tooI have a favor to ask..”

“I met you because I loved you, and I said I would take responsibility for you because I loved you.”
“…”
"I'm ashamed. But I won't let you suffer, Yeoju. You're still young, and I'll support you in any way I can."
“Mom.. Dad..”
I had only one request. I didn't want to give my parents such a shock. I wanted a child, a hopeful child, and I wanted to have a husband who truly loved me, not someone to be used.
"Please hurry up and get married. If you get too heavy, it'll be hard to move. Let's take care of the furniture ourselves."
"It's an overwhelming gift that the heroine came to me. We'll prepare everything."

“You’re good at acting.”
“Because there are many days when I stand in front of other people.”
“Thank you… for listening to me.”
But this person only nodded once and did not say a word the entire way to the Jeon family home.
The house we arrived at was quite grand.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll be back shortly.”
“Can I come in with you..?”
“Come in and hear what I have to say. I’ll be back in no time.”
"still.."
“Please.”
His face looked quite serious, so I couldn't follow him. Still, I wanted to go. Even though I was scared... I had to live with him now.

He returned to the car 30 minutes later. He was dozing off when he woke up to the sound of the car door opening.
“…”
"I.."
“..You can sleep.”
Although he was clearly looking ahead, it was not easy to ignore the heat in his eyes.
"if.. “Did you get it right..?”
“…”
“If it’s because of me… I…”
“Ms. Kim Yeo-ju.”
"yes..?"
The next words made me doubt my ears.
“Let’s merge our homes. Let’s live together.”
"yes?"

As my face turned and my cheeks felt hot, words I didn't want to hear flew into my ears. So I just, without thinking, said it.
“We live together.”
He said that.
“You said all I have to do is get married, so I’ll marry this person. Since we had the baby early, I’ll raise him well.”
When I heard that, I just looked at the tips of my shoes and said:
“..Would it be okay if we lived together..?”
"yes."
The answer was without a moment's hesitation.
“Don’t you know that you can’t do it anymore?”
“..That’s true, but..”
"I'll help you move tomorrow. You're not alone, so just stay put today."
“No! It’s okay.. I’m not that heavy yet and it’s not hard to move.. Could you just help me with the heavy stuff..?”
“Just bring your clothes and belongings. You’re coming into my house anyway.”
“Ah.. yes..”
That's how we started living together.

The top floor of a tall, large building. Riding the elevator, my hands clenched as I clutched my suitcase.
As the door opened and I entered the house, a long hallway appeared.
“You live in a really nice place..”
“Give me your suitcase. I’ll show you the room. It won’t be too small for you alone.”
I'm pregnant and I'm supposed to be staying in a room alone..? Even if it's a marriage without love... I'm pregnant.. and he's the father, right..?
He said that when I shot him that look.
“I didn’t even think about sharing a room. Just unpack and come out.”
“When you come out... where do you go next..?”
“Rules. Before getting married.From the rulesI will decide.”
