"Let's flirt, officially"
73 • Everyone's Husband, Jeon Jung-guk
As time passed, Yeoju entered the latter stages of her pregnancy. Before she knew it, her belly had grown so large that she could feel the baby's movements. Every night, he read her old fairy tales as prenatal education.
Jungkook leaned against the headboard, and Yeoju lay against his chest. He spoke, bringing a strawberry from a large bowl to his lips.
도여주
I don't think there's a fairy tale I haven't heard of anymore.
"Really?" he said, cautiously closing the storybook. Well, that's understandable. From traditional fairy tales to Aesop's fables and even traditional tales, there were only a handful he hadn't heard.
전정국
They say that reading storybooks to your dad is good for prenatal education. Did you only read books?
도여주
Huh?, I- The book my dad read to me. It was good, wasn't it?
Really? He looked at her with satisfaction as she was eating strawberries while hugging her tightly in his arms.
도여주
Yeah. Especially Snow White.
전정국
Snow White?
Yeah, because I'm a bad witch. There are a few bitches that come to mind. The heroine blurts out a curse word without realizing it, then, startled, hurriedly covers her mouth.
The heroine, who turned into a rabbit in surprise, is just so cute.
도여주
Huh, what if a rabbit heard it?
He strokes Yeoju's head with his hand. "Even before she was born, she knew her mother was a foul-mouthed grandmother," he says with a laugh. "She doesn't understand other people's feelings."
도여주
Don't laugh. I'm being quite serious.
전정국
I know, I know. But thanks to those guys, that's how we met.
If Nam Jin-hyeok hadn't cheated, and Kang So-hyun hadn't, we wouldn't have even met, would we? I nodded, a little annoyed, at Jeong-guk's words.
도여주
Sigh - Now that the rabbit is born, I'll be busy here and there.
전정국
…I see. Still, I need to have time to share my affection with you.
도여주
Phew, are you jealous of a child who hasn't even been born yet?
"This is going to be difficult, lol." The female protagonist, who slightly covered her mouth with her hand, smiled faintly. Jungkook narrowed his brows slightly. "I'm serious right now."
도여주
Okay. Let's give it a try. I can make time, lol.
전정국
I've been thinking about it, and I think working from home isn't a bad idea.
도여주
Working from home?
The female protagonist, who was picking up a strawberry with a fork and putting it in her mouth, asked, "Yeah, there's no reason why you have to work at the company."
전정국
When a rabbit is born, there is a lot to do.
Jungkook picked up the notebook he'd left on the table next to him. With each page he turned, the traces of intense study were visible. Yeoju's eyes widened.
도여주
No… When did you start studying like this?
전정국
Occasionally?
Among them, one sentence stood out the most. Highlighted repeatedly, it was a passage about how mothers can develop postpartum depression.
전정국
I looked it up online. The most important thing to watch out for are the postpartum complications. The most common of these is depression.
도여주
and……
What do I like about this guy? He's so damn handsome. I'm touched just thinking about him, but he's prepared so effortlessly.
The heroine, deeply moved, stamped her lips on his cheek. He was someone you couldn't hate even if you wanted to. Why, he only does lovable things.
전정국
… ?, Oh really… … What is it?
At first, he blinked his eyes as if it was sudden, but soon he started to snicker and touched his cheek with his hand.
전정국
Just pick the really pretty ones.
도여주
Who wants to say that? I almost shed tears of emotion.
I pretended to wipe my tears with my index finger, and Jeongguk's finger touched the spot under my eye. Why, really? Crying is pretty, too.
도여주
Ah... what are you talking about-!!
전정국
You don't know, but you look so cute when you cry.
도여주
Hey, are you listening, rabbit?
Seeing the female protagonist hastily covering her ears, Jeong-guk hit his own mouth in a fit of rage.
전정국
I should only hear good things and see good things. I made a mistake.
Admit it. I was wrong. He pressed his lips against the forehead of the female protagonist, who was looking at him with her ears covered, and then pulled them away.
전정국
If I do this, will the rabbit forgive me?
도여주
Hmm - isn't that just to satisfy your selfish desires?
전정국
Bingo.
Jungkook chuckled as if he'd been caught. The female lead also laughed, as if she was dumbfounded. Of course, not in a bad way, but in a good way.
도여주
My dad is really annoying. What if I end up like him?
전정국
Hmm… Aight(?), wait a minute, that won’t work.
"You take after me?" Jungkook thought for a moment, his whole body trembling as if he hated the very thought. While wondering if it was something to be so disgusted by, he was curious about the reason.
도여주
Why? LOL.
전정국
If you become like me, I'll like you, and then we'll spend less time together... and if it decreases, we'll have to fight, right?
전정국
I don't want to fight over who gets to sit next to my child or wife.
The female protagonist reached out and stroked Jeongguk's head, saying, "Don't worry. I'll treat you nicely from time to time." Jeongguk smiled meaningfully.
전정국
Really?
도여주
Yeah, really.
전정국
Well then, please still like me now.
In the blink of an eye, Jeongguk buried his face in her neck, and cradled her large body in his arms, making her flinch. The breath on her neck was so stimulating.
도여주
Hey…!! If you hug me suddenly, I’ll be surprised.
전정국
Are you surprised by my hug, or are you surprised by my breathing?
도여주
……
전정국
You shouldn't lie, right? The rabbit is listening.
He looked like a fox, his eyes widening as if to tell me to hurry up and speak.
도여주
… in front.
전정국
Right. I should give you a reward for being honest, right?
도여주
Ugh… …
Provocative and rude lips touched the nape of my neck.
Hello. This is Manggaejjintteok.
To make an excuse, but not an excuse, yes. I ran out of material... and I didn't even know how to continue the story. So, I couldn't continue the series.
I haven't yet unraveled Choi Da-hee's story. When I tried to, it became too extensive. So, if I were to continue this series, I think I'd have to tell the daily lives of the female lead and Jung-kook couple.
Of course, our readers would like the one without sweet potatoes!…
But, since it's a daily story, the material can't just come out right away. It's even harder to write something interesting. So, I want to tell you something.
I don't think I'll be able to post as often as I used to. I used to post one a day, or two every other day. I don't think I can do that anymore!
It might come out once a week. Anyway… I ask for your understanding in advance, everyone!… 🙏🏻
