episode_0225

Like me, who was frozen in a daze, Winter also looked quite embarrassed.

“Daehan…?! Already?!”

I stamp my foot while spitting out what I want to say, but Jisoo urgently pushes my back.

“Hansung, you need to go back quickly!”

“That’s right…! I have to go back first…! Ah, peach!”

I went back to the car, put on my bag of peaches, and started running.

“Tongue, brother…!!!”

“I’ll go first!!! Bring everything you need and come!”

“Yes! Thank you very much!!!”

Already running far away, I leave an answer to winter.

my child

Our children.

My heart beats faster at the thought that our first meeting is not far away.

‘Hang in there…!’

Thighs swell wildly.

Stretch back elastically,

Just rush forward.

Pabababak-!

I couldn’t even capture the surrounding scenery that was passing by so quickly in my mind.

All I can think of is Yeoreum and a child who looks exactly like Yeoreum.

and me.

A fantastic imagination, like a happy family photo, embracing each other and smiling at someone else.

‘I’ll be happy.’

“Aaaah~~!!!”

I scream and spread my happiness to the world.

Arrived home in an instant.

our home.

I immediately jumped over the door of the guardhouse and ran towards the hospital bed.

“Ha, Hanseong!!! Summer!”

“I know!!!”

I passed by the soldiers who seemed to be out to look for me and headed straight for the building.

The door to the hospital room was thrown open all at once.

bang-!!!

“Haa.. ha..! are you okay?! What about summer?!”

Yeoreum, who is much better than I thought, with no makeup on, is glaring at me.

“Cee…! Where have you been!!!”

“Sorry!!!”

Instead of explaining this or that,

Panting, he let out a rough breath and held out the peach he was holding in his palm.

Yeoreum’s eyes looked at the peach, then turned to mine.

Sweet, overflowing with love, the eyes of a woman who needs my protection.

Those eyes are lovely today too.

“Did you go looking for peaches?”

“…Uh.”

The irritated voice instantly becomes softer and is filled with only sweetness.

“I’m not late, right?”

“Of course you weren’t late, you were waiting with Daehan, right?”

“Thank goodness….”

A sigh of relief naturally comes out.

I wanted to at least hold her hand, so I tried to approach her, but Darae urgently blocked my way.

“Disinfection!!!”

“Ah, ah… That’s right, disinfection…! Pass me some peaches.”

“Okay, so go wash first.”

I frantically run to the shower room, quickly taking off my clothes and looking for a change of clothes.

“Baekhwa’s clothes!!!”

[Wash up first]

The words I often heard before going to bed served their purpose well this time,

I quickly became clean and was able to come out.

White flowers waiting for me.

Even today, I am impressed by the neat secretary uniform and sexy body.

“Clothes are here!”

“Good job!”

“Yes~~! Thank you!”

Baekhwa didn’t leave right away, but her eyes were blinking wide as if she wanted skinship.

If you think about bacteria… .

“Kiss next time.”

“Not that, here…!”

My eyes widened when I saw them handing me a protective suit that could only be used in a lab.

“You….”

“I took it because I thought my sister would need it in the summer.”

The fact that Baekhwa himself had prepared protective clothing for Yeoreum was a new and touching experience.

I was unfamiliar with emotions.

Baekhwa, who didn’t even know how to express or ask for something.

Such a white artist….

“Good job. Summer will be thankful too.”

“Yes!!!”

After ruffling her hair roughly, she runs back to Yeoreum.

yet again.

bang-!!!

“Oh, it’s noisy!!!”

“Quiet!!!”

As I burst open the door to the hospital room and entered, I was greeted with another round of swearing.

First of all, put on protective clothing.

After making complete preparations, I confidently approached.

“This is enough, right?”

“That’s true, but I guess it’s not necessary to go to that extent…? Are you going to see me when you give birth?”

“Not really, but there’s nothing wrong with being careful, right?”

There must have been one contraction in the meantime, and a little pain was visible on Yeoreum’s expression.

Sweat-soaked hair.

White maternity clothes.

A bulging stomach that looks like it might burst soon.

“…Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

Summer’s answer was concise.

Our tightly clasped hands proved that no further answer was needed.

Of course, it’s more about feelings than words.

“Cheer up.”

“Yes.”

After feeling each other’s body heat for a while, Yeoreum looked at the peach and asked.

“You managed to get it?”

“Peaches are a fall fruit, right? I have to do this much.”

“Yes…! Cool.”

When I responded by pounding my chest, Yeoreum smiled brightly.

I felt deep trust and love for me.

“Oh, you’re not going to eat it? Do you want to eat later? Where should I store it?”

“No, I want to eat now. I want to eat it.”

At those words, Darae handed me a kitchen knife.

“Now, here’s the knife. But I guess I have mine too, right? Right? Say it exists…?”

“Of course!”

I nodded my head urgently at the stinging look in his eyes, and then he patted my back and spoke playfully.

“Really? They didn’t just take care of pregnant women, right~? I took a look~”

Then, after taking a quick look at Yeoreum’s thoughts, Darae moves out of the way.

“If labor comes again, call out and call me~”

“Is it okay if I don’t guard you next to me?”

“Do you have a guardian? Moreover, you have to endure labor pains for another 10 hours for the uterus to open.”

“W, ten hours?!”

When Darae said 10 hours, Yeoreum screamed in shock.

Does it hurt…?

Actually, I heard that in order to give birth to a child, the cervix must be 10 cm open.

It won’t be easy.

“10cm….”

When I open my hand slightly, I can feel its enormous size.

“Enjoy your final rest~”

“…Thank you.”

“Yes~”

Darae lightly waves her hand and leaves the room.

It may be true that he didn’t need to be next to me, but it felt more like he was considerate of our time.

“Thank you? Right.”

“…Yes.”

Yeoreum nodded quietly, as if she was quite happy to have some time alone.

There was silence for a moment,

Tuk.

He poked his side and pointed at the peach with his finger.

“Oh, peach? Do you want to eat now?”

“Yes…!”

I brushed Yeoreum’s hair as she nodded cutely and started peeling the peach.

Sak-sak-

Apricot-colored peach skin peels off without interruption.

Yeoreum grabbed the end of it and asked back in a high voice, as if she was slightly surprised.

“You cut it well?”

“Why? Did you think I couldn’t sharpen even a single thing?”

“Yes.”

Why do these damn women rate me so poorly?

You’re not even worried?

“Hey, I’ve been living alone for several years, but I can’t do this.”

“…Oh, sorry.”

Did it seem like Go Ara was just pointing out my past?

Yeoreum hides her head.

“Say sorry for something like that. It’s okay, raise your head.”

“That…”

“Thank you.”

I was about to say something, but my quick thanks left me speechless.

I dipped a piece of the beautifully peeled peach with the tip of my knife and brought it to my mouth.

“Eat.”

“…Yes.”

Open your mouth cutely and take a bite!

Mew mul mul.

Yeoreum is just cute as she eats the fruit as if her hands are gone.

Surprisingly, it really didn’t matter.

“There were definitely a lot of hardships because I was an orphan, and there were a lot of unfair things.”

“That’s…!”

“Will you just listen?”

When I spoke to him kindly, he calmed down a little and nodded.

“It looks like our summer is very anxious about giving birth. I worry about things I don’t normally do.”

“…….”

A cute nod and a hearty smile come out.

“Cute.”

“Hmm….”

I tightly hold on to Yeoreum’s hand as she yells at me.

“It was like that in the past, but now you have a family, right? I don’t think I’m lucky because of my past, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have an impact, right?”

“So I think the sad past is now something to laugh about.”

I repeat it clearly to Yeoreum, who is quietly listening.

Filled with emotion.

“Thank you.”

“…Yes.”

yet again.

“Thank you.”

Yeoreum, whose tears welled up at my words, looked at me with moist eyes and did the same.

It conveys a message full of deep emotions.

“Thank you too…!”

“Yes.”

Emotions are contagious and inflate their size even further.

Like a snowball.

If you swear, the swearing doubles,

When you love, love is doubled.

Double that feeling and double it again.

also.

also.

We talked about many things, buried in emotions that grew like a snowball.

How embarrassed I was when we first met.

What kind of emotion was it?

“… I didn’t like it that much at first.”

“Did you?”

It was cute how he spoke carefully and watched me.

“Now?”

“…I like it.”

Even answering shyly.

My cheeks are also red.

Everything was just good.

How did I gradually fall in love with a decent genetic partner?

What did you like about it?

As a smile bloomed every time I mentioned my strengths one by one, Yeoreum continued to praise me even though she was not fussed.

“It’s also nice to think I’ll never die!”

“It’s good to lose sometimes during the day!”

“Also… it’s good at night too.”

He paused shyly for a moment and then continued.

“It was good to get some peaches.”

“Did you?”

“…Yes.”

As the sweet time continued, sometimes I felt pain and pulled out my hair.

And then it became sweet again… .

The time has come when it can no longer be sweet.

“Ugh…!!!”

Even at a glance, the aspect of labor pain is different from before.

Yeoreum frowned heavily and began to struggle to find the skein.

“Da…call me Darae.”

“Darae? okay…! Wait a minute!!!”

Run out quickly and bring back the snail,

After a light examination, I heard the shocking news.

“Not yet.”

“…What? Why does it hurt like this?”

“Of course! Then, you thought having a child was easy?”

As he urged me, he took out a few ampoules and started feeding them to Yeoreum.

“You will feel much better if you eat this. Eat.”

“Ugh….Ugh!!!”

Saying that it will be okay is meaningless, and the screams echo without a moment.

“…How can you not? Painkillers?”

“It’s not good for the child.”

All I can do is stamp my feet.

Even that wasn’t much.

No matter how much of a husband he is, he doesn’t want to show his broken side.

It seems that Yeoreum was particularly concerned, as it is said that people often get shocked when watching childbirth scenes.

“I…get out!!!!!”

I held on for no reason, but after receiving a bowl of cursing, I was kicked out into the hallway.

2 hours like that.

To me, who had my ear glued to the door and was anxious to hear various sounds,

The clear sound of a baby crying was heard.

Mite!!!!!!

Mite!!!!!!

The clear and loud cry of a baby.

A moment of overwhelming emotion.

One more moment that I will never forget even after a lifetime.
