Just like a world-class soccer player dominates the field.

My husband dominated me in bed.

An arrogant face, like something an alpha male would make.

An upright attitude, as if not afraid of anything.

… it was good.

Because this is the side of Siwoo I always wanted to see.

*

“It hurts… … … .”

Contraception is a very, very important act for dating couples.

Be sure to avoid birth control.

Otherwise, you will have to experience this hell of childbirth every year.

“Go… I don’t think there’s anything wrong with chili peppers… .”

“… … .”

Siwoo frowned, sighed, and looked around.

The nurses preparing for delivery had their heads down as they tried to suppress their laughter.

“How do you know that when you’ve never been dumped?”

“… That’s right.”

When I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever been kicked between my legs in my past life.

There was a time when I swapped bodies with Chaewon and disappeared for a while, but that was all.

Is that why? I really feel like I’m dying.

It was the first time in my life that I felt this much pain.

“Huh… It still hurts so much… … .”

“I’m going to have a cesarean section… .”

“Then a scar will remain… … .”

Now, the perception that it is my body is stronger, but the perception that it is Min Chae-won’s precious body still coexists to some extent.

Considering that my short-term choice may leave a scar on my stomach, it is right to be patient and have a natural birth, even if it is a little painful.

And the doctor said it was okay.

Did you say that the pelvis is wide and flexible, making it perfect for natural childbirth?

I didn’t know that working out hard would help me this much, but anyway, I will give birth to Siwon myself.

How much effort have you made so far to achieve a natural childbirth?

I did everything I could to have an easy delivery.

Stretching, yoga, walking, I did it all.

So, Siwon.

He’s nice.

Come out quickly to see mom.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm my mind and body.

I had to save my strength for the labor that was about to start.

“Cheer up.”

I had been holding Siwoo’s hand since they entered the delivery room.

“Because I will always be by your side.”

But the moment I said those words, our hands became hot, as if we had put a hand warmer in them.

“It will hurt less when you see my face.”

The love between my hands was so hot that it felt like my hands were going to melt.

It’s definitely painful enough to make me cry,

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“It hurts to look at it… .”

“Seeing you smile makes me feel less sick?”

“You’re so noisy, idiot.”

I am grateful to him for staying by my side.

I told him with my hand that he would never leave my side for the rest of his life.

“Why. Should I not tell? Can’t you concentrate?”

“No.”

While holding Siwoo’s hand tightly, I smiled brightly and giggled with him.

“Talk more. To the point where it’s crazy.”

However, with a word from the doctor who came in soon after, our playful preparations for childbirth came to an end.

“Maternal portion. You can’t play around.”

“Yes.”

Sensing the solemnity in the teacher’s voice, as if walking into a battlefield, I held Siwoo’s hand tighter than before.

Siwoo fluttered like a puppy whose tail was stepped on.

“Ah, ah. Hey hey wait for a sec. Release your strength!”

“Ah. The teacher told me not to play around. What did you just hear?”

“IC. If you suddenly hold it so tightly. My joints—ah, ah!”

***

Why is it that even if giving birth once is difficult, it is worth giving birth twice?

I could never understand how mothers felt until I gave birth to them myself, but now I think I understand.

“ugh. Eububua.”

“Siwon~ Oh, so pretty~.”

“Ta!”

Was the child this lovely?

Of course, because I am a mother, I may be being gaslighted by hormones. But even taking that fact aside, you have no choice but to love the child you gave birth to yourself.

How can I pretend not to know such a pretty child who looks just like me and Siwoo?

“Peu. fart… .”

“Oh my. Is Siwon already sleepy?”

“Woong… .”

Jeong Si-woo and Min Chae-won.

The child that two good people, who always thought only of each other, met and had a child was so kind that it turned them into selfish people.

If I were to explain each one, it would be endless.

Even if he takes a nap, he always falls asleep before me at night. Even when I had to wake myself up early, I would usually cry after 4 a.m.

Usually, I noticed first and gave him a mom and changed his diaper.

Before crying that he was hungry, he gave me a signal by pressing my chest.

When her diaper had to be changed, she cried and called me.

“Twinkle, twinkle, little star~. How I wonder what you are~.”

“Woo. right. Woo~.”

When I play the piano with a swaddle on, he curls up on my back and sings along with my performance. That look is so cute and lovely.

“Up above the world so high~, Like a diamond in the sky~.”

“Woo~Woo.”

Later, Siwon thought that it would be better to hire a vocalist instead of a piano player. The baby, who is only a few months old, has tremendous understanding and receptiveness to sounds.

This is why, whenever parents talk about their children’s childhood, they say things like, ‘When I was young, I thought they were natural’.

After I played two songs like that, Siwon fell asleep against my back as if he had never been awake.

There were times when I went to the pediatrician a few times because I felt like I was fainting and falling asleep to the point where I thought there might be a health problem.

“It’s because the child feels comfortable.”

“Did you let me play the piano a lot during prenatal education?”

However, the doctor said it was a natural phenomenon. On the contrary, I envied her for being blessed with parenting.

Even during pregnancy, Siwoo and I had a habit of sitting together at the piano and playing duets, which had a positive influence on Siwon.

Sigh.

Kang Hwi carefully opened the bedroom door and asked, blinking.

Is Siwon sleeping?

“I sleep well.”

Kang Hwi crept into the room and poked Siwon on the cheek.

“Hey. ”

“Hee hee. It’s so cute.”

“If you’re that cute, you should have a baby too.”

“Uh huh. I have to live in this house as a housekeeper for the rest of my life. Your child is more important than my child.”

Well done, really.

I smiled and asked Kang Hwi.

“So why did you come?”

“Ah. Master, I heard you are late today. He told me to eat dinner first.”

“I already knew. I was putting Siwon to sleep and waiting for when he would be brought back.”

“It’s also fast. Anyway, Siwon, please give it to me. You have to eat.”

As Kang-hwi tried to take Siwon, who was wrapped in a swaddle, I turned around and faced Kang-hwi.

“I don’t like it?”

“Aren’t you eating?”

“I’m going to eat like this.”

“Does your back hurt?”

“It doesn’t matter~.”

I walked toward the first floor with brisk steps, just like when I was hugging Siwon.

Siwon, who was soundly asleep, grabbed the hem of my clothes, chomping at his mouth as if he was dreaming of going on an amusement ride.

I was sitting in the restaurant playing with my phone, and Siwoo sent me another message just as he was coming down the stairs.

— Siwon’s Dad: Sorry

— Siwon’s Dad: Come in soon

I heard it’s very late.

I guess it took less time than I thought.

— Me: The professor sent it to you earlier than expected?

Siwoo is currently busier than ever as he prepares for the Chopin Competition to be held next fall.

I don’t know if I was just preparing for the competition, but my schedule was quite tight because I was taking school classes while maintaining my usual routine.

He wakes up before me in the morning and starts his exercise routine. Take Relka for a walk with me. After playing with Siwon for 30 minutes, I went to work on campus.

After a short morning practice, I continued to attend classes until the afternoon, and did not neglect practicing in my spare time between classes.

After class time, I immediately receive 1:1 lessons from the professor. After finishing, I return home and eat with my family. Afterwards, we spent time together as a family before taking a bath together or going to sleep.

The schedule was so tight that there was no time to rest during the 24 hours a day, except for when I was sleeping.

In addition to his role as a father, he did not neglect his efforts as a candidate to become the winner of an international competition.

He was truly such a scary person that I got goosebumps watching him from the sidelines.

How did I live like such a monster in my past life?

— Siwon’s Dad: Rather than saying the professor caught him…

— Siwon’s Dad: I’m just feeling a little sad today

— Siwon’s Dad: He said he would do more.

— Siwon’s Dad: Sorry

— Siwon’s Dad: The piano came first today.

In the past, I was a person who was crazy about the piano.

The existence of a person named Min Chae-won found in a part of that crazy person’s heart.

Changed people, changed lives.

Furthermore, it changed his career and even his recognition.

‘What would I have done without me… .’

Min Chae-won got a new life thanks to Jeong Si-woo.

Jeong Si-woo also lives a completely different life thanks to Min Chae-won.

We are indispensable beings and elements to each other.

Now I can’t imagine life without each other, and I don’t want to imagine it either.

However, there is still a long way to go to Siwoo’s happiness.

I have overcome the risk of death, but Siwoo still faces an important hurdle.

‘Now it’s next year.’

Remember.

That day in April 2026.

A fragment of despair that was the starting point of our happiness.

‘I will definitely stop you.’

I want to save you.

Because I have been running so far only for your future.
