"Let's flirt, officially"

75 • New Family

Children need to run around and play. After much deliberation, we decided on a country home. It took quite a while to move, as we were quite concerned.

As the house was much farther away from the office than before, Yeoju was against leaving Seoul, but she stubbornly insisted on growing up in a quiet place with good air, and thanks to that, she left Seoul and settled near Gyeonggi-do.

전정국

But is it good now that you've actually moved in?

도여주

No matter how much I think about it, isn't this excessive? They brought children here to play, even if they weren't even born yet.

In fact, the kids were just an excuse, and I was worried about Jeongguk. He was used to living in a penthouse, and his work was close to home, so one morning, he had to commute an hour and a half.

Let's take a deep breath and look around the house, and Jeongguk answers.

전정국

There's no use regretting it now.

The contract was over and the move was over, so he was just giggling and saying he couldn't do anything, which was a little annoying. Who am I really worried about?

You don't even know my heart.

전정국

Anyway, whatever it is, your problem is that you think too much. You just have to make everything go in a good direction.

As if we, who had been hurt by people, had found each other again, moving on a better path. Large hands cupped both cheeks and spoke words that made my heart flutter.

Yeah, I loved someone who said such ticklish things.

The laughing heroine sat down on the sofa, seemingly defeated. Her belly, already full-term, kicked vigorously, as if to remind me that she was still here.

And not long after, the fruit of their love was finally born.

전정국

Ahh_ Don't cry, Sihyeon.

He held a baby much smaller than his forearm in his arms, fidgeting and soothing her. He went out to help the woman, who had fallen asleep early in the morning due to breastfeeding, sleep soundly.

전정국

It hasn't been long since the female protagonist fed her the milk, and her diapers are still okay...

After Sihyeon, the fruit of their love, was born, things didn't change much.

When alone, Si-hyeon would kick her legs with a start, but just a few days ago, when she didn't even brush past him, let alone startle, as if she had been waiting for him, Si-hyeon would cry whenever Jeong-gook held her in his arms.

전정국

Please, take it easy - your mom needs to get some sleep.

Your mom stayed up all night feeding you, didn't she? Other people might wonder if such an emotional appeal to a newborn would work, but surprisingly, it did.

As he watched the child gradually stop crying, he finally realized what he had been half-doubting about.

This guy is already jealous.

Otherwise, how could a newborn baby stop crying just because he or she was expressing his or her emotions?

전정국

Haa- I guess he really is my son.

My mother stopped crying at just one word: "It's hard." I was already anxious that my son, already jealous, would steal my beloved wife away from me, but on the other hand, I found myself smiling.

전정국

Yeah - I'll give in sometimes, so just don't give your mom a hard time.

His warm lips gently pressed against the newborn's forehead. She, who had suffered so much, was utterly helpless.

전정국

What can I do? He is my beloved son, so I have to give in.

As if he understood what he was saying, the child reached out to Jeong-guk and smiled faintly.

전정국

But don't take it away too often, Dad cries.

The child fell asleep after seeing his father's face, pleading with him not to take it away so often, even though the child could not possibly understand.

김석진

Wow, look at this. Jeon Jungkook is completely copied.

Seokjin and Joohee rushed from Seoul upon hearing the news of Sihyeon's birth. He was amazed as he watched Sihyeon play with her hands and blink.

차주희

He's Jeon Jungkook's son, so he's just being rude. Please don't say something so obvious.

The female protagonist looked at the two people and almost burst out laughing, as if she was looking at a wet Maltese dog being scolded by its owner and the owner scolding the dog for causing an accident.

도여주

What about Jia?, Jia didn't come with you?

김석진

I left her with my mother-in-law. Since she was a newborn, I thought it might be a bit much to bring her along.

Caring for a newborn, plus a feisty child, was bound to be a challenge. I knew the two were being considerate, but it was a bit disappointing not to see Jia's face...

전정국

Zia, you haven't been looking for me since then?

전정국

I played with you so hard I killed you.

도여주

Oh, there's Sihyeon in front.

"What do you mean, killing me? Killing me?" he nagged, gently pushing her arm as if to slap her. He quickly closed his mouth and spoke, gently covering Si-hyeon's ear as she lay there.

전정국

Dad didn't say anything-, didn't you hear? It's a promise between men.

도여주

What kind of promise can men make to a newborn baby?

When he was being rude for no reason, Jeongguk smiled awkwardly and patted Sihyeon on the chest while saying,

전정국

No, Sihyeon is so smart.

When I told him that he had stopped crying immediately after asking me not to give his mother a hard time, I thought he would think I was exaggerating and call me an idiot, so I kept that fact a secret between the two of us.

전정국

You don't know, heroine - what promise we made.
