Male, you promised me. Gyu-baek demanded Kwon Chae-woo. He still called Kwon Chae-woo as male like a male insect.
Kwon Chae-woo, who was now holding the sleeping Lee-yeon against his shoulder, looked at someones slender legs that were close by.
Just then, the noisy laughter of Joo Dong-mi and Choo-ja echoed from a distance. Everyone must be coming this way, embracing beautiful bouquets.
Moreover, to formally introduce Jang Beom-hee, who recently moved in, he invited her here. Kwon Chae-woos face still showed no signs of realizing his mistake, appearing nonchalant.
If you help this male marry Director Lee-yeon, then
These were the words a man whispered to a child in front of the Kwon family the other day. This was the condition given to Gyu-baek, who couldnt get his mind off of money.
He also gave him a heavier and better gold toad, and
Ill let you officiate the wedding.
Thats right. But this male havent gotten married yet.
No, I practice every night these days.
Why, does it seem close?
Its just around the corner.
At Gyubaeks significant words, Kwon Chae-woos lips curled into a smile. Covering Lee-yeon meticulously with the falling blanket, he gestured with his eyes.
Then, lets rehearse.
Its a practice for directors wedding ceremony.
Gyubaek held both hands and lifted his heels. He had practiced so much that he could recite it effortlessly even in his sleep. The childs small lips moved densely.
Macaroni penguin, gray wolf, pinecone lizard, long-armed monkey, black bald eagle
Wait, wait.
Kwon Chae-woo interrupted with a raised eyebrow.
What on earth is that?
The groom must not interfere.
Whether his words were blocked or he felt good about the title, Kwon Chae-woo closed his mouth.
Macaroni penguin, gray wolf, pinecone lizard, long-armed monkey, black bald eagle, owl monkey, gnu, white-headed eagle. Until death, these animals love only one female.
A soft, small laugh burst out from Kwon Chae-woos shoulder. Lee-yeon tried to endure the urge to squirm.
But the man, who had already realized that she had awakened, pressed his lips directly to her forehead.
In the future, youll be responsible for parenting like a macaroni penguin. If your partner is in danger like a gray wolf, youll risk your life to run. Like a pinecone lizard, youll send the female first and walk behind. Like a long-armed monkey, youll raise the offspring together and groom each other. Like a black bald eagle, youll stick together every day, year after year. Like a gnu, if your partner leaves the spot, youll eat less. Like an owl monkey, youll never cheat. Like a white-headed eagle, youll spend at least twenty years together.
With both hands tightly clasped, the childs pose looked convincing, but the tone was still as if he were reading from an encyclopedia. Lee-yeon bit her lower lip hard, trying her best not to laugh.
In fact, I dont really know what a blessing is.
But when I look at Director Lee-yeon and you, words I didnt know suddenly come to mind. There are many things here that are not in the dictionary.
The always expressionless child showed a neat row of teeth for the first time. The emotionless face twisted, and unnoticed dimples appeared on both cheeks. The gaze, which was always like reading a book or studying insects, briefly sparkled, facing a person rather than a book or an insect.
Lee-yeon hugged Kwon Chae-woos forearm tightly, and he gazed at Gyu-baek with very affectionate eyes.
The baby to be born will have a pure and upright older brother that she never had. Her child will take the opposite path from the life his father chose, and he may grow up to care for his older brother more than anyone else.
However, Namwoos older brothers story of building the largest insect ecology museum in the country for his precious brother is a story from a very, very distant future.
Director So Lee-yeon! Im here!
Lee-yeon-ah, Im here!
Doyeon
Who, who is that? Kwon Chae-woo demanded an answer.
One by one, the invited guests gathered into the forest.
A few seconds before a loud commotion broke out.
Kwon Chae-woon hoped that she would quickly find the wooden box hidden behind her cello.
Inside, the yellow post-it notes that the girl had secretly left on her tree trunk were piled up like pebbles. Those precious moments when I whispered, Hello, thank you, you gave me strength, I miss you, I want to meet you.
What Are The 8 Sure Signs That Your Woman Is In Love With You?الأوكرانية ذات الخدود الكبيرة: قصة تحول صادمة
I want to live as Lee-yeons flower for the rest of my life. Kwon Chae-woo told her.
The man who started out as her plant became her plant again and fell lightly on her.
But now he wasnt fooled.
There was no need to lie.
She was the only tree doctor in the world who could deal with this terrifying plant man who could turn at any moment.
Lee-yeon whispered jokingly responded to his confession, Not as my husband?
!
At the same time, Joo Dong-mi, who was growling, made Jang Beom-hee crawl on the ground.
It was early spring, the beginning of the festival.
***
That night, Lee-yeon opened a storybook in her dream. On the front page, the words Baby Tree- were written, crossed out, and rewritten.
To baby Nam-woo.
It was a story about a tree with deep roots and a tree that sings, and living happily ever after. It was a letter that said that in Hwaido, where music, trees, and insects come together, everyone can love and laugh.
So come on over.
The author is Lee Gyu-baek , and the title is
Another unforgettable summer was approaching.
-End
While the prosecution was thoroughly revising the affairs of Suguk Pharmaceutical, Kwon Chae-woo opened a secret account within the household and established a childrens welfare foundation.
Illegal activities such as gambling, usury, and auctions continued, but he ceased the exploitative sponsorship system that had been deeply ingrained, giving the hunting dogs the freedom to choose the course of their life.
He demolished the Kwon family estate, leaving only the underground where Kwon Ki-seok was confined.
The Kwon family, now shapeless, would gradually exist only as a rumor. The hidden heir had become the subtle power behind Hwaido, unnoticed by many.
Especially with his thorough investigations into the elementary, middle, and high schools where their child might attend, the distribution of criminals on Hwai island, and sanctions on accident-prone areas, there was no place beyond Kwon Chae-woos reach.
That was the current backside of Kwon Chae-woo, as known by Lee-yeon, but she didnt need to know it all. An invisible fence had this kind of meaning.
Lee-yeon, I am satisfied with the present.
Still, if the environment changes too much, depression might set in.
Innocently concerned, Lee-yeons gaze gradually turned cold.
Similar things have happened actually. You are right, Lee-yeon.
What?!
But Im not the one feeling depressed, its my lower body.
Lee-yeons worried eyes, clouded with concern, began to cool down.
It wants to cry, but it cant shed tears.
Well, no, Chae-woo
He grabbed the cellos neck and suddenly burst into a bitter laughter. It sounded like a laughter reminiscent of a cold breath.
In the early stages of pregnancy, it was due to the risk of miscarriage; in the middle, it was due to bacterial infection, and now its due to premature birth. Even though they say to do it quickly and not insert forcefully, wheres teh satisfaction in that?
He expressed his dissatisfaction openly, but it seemed somewhat unfair to Lee-yeon. Despite being passionately heated up and on the verge of inserting, Kwon Chae-woo, seemingly frightened, would only clutch his manhood. Frustrated, he made mechanical and rapid movements to induce ejaculation. And everytime he did that, Lee-yeon would feel a lump on her throat.
I cant completely avoid it, but once I start, I cant finish quickly.
!
Of course, it may get rough once I get carried away. He continued.
He closed his eyes tightly, tilting his head from side to side as if stretching.
So, Im not bored at all, just thinking about devouring Lee-yeon.
Kwon Chae-woo, finding the occasionally adorable Lee-yeon sleeping with a peaceful expression, would generously pepper her cheeks with bird kisses to the point where her face would get messy.
After a while, when she turned her head away, her tousled hair pressed against the pillow looked even more adorable, and he couldnt help but pinch her cheek.
Somehow, he had become a pervert who got excited and hardened habitually, regardless of the circumstances.
Yet, if he could just stay by her side, anything was fine. Lee-yeon, who noticed the mans gaze deepening, cleverly changed the subject.
Oh, did you think about inviting the very important guests too?
As if hearing something strange, Kwon Chae-woo wrinkled his face.
Did I hear correctly?
Yes?
Who invited, who are we inviting?
Well Chae-woo, us, the rest of your brothers?
As she lowered her voice in response to his sly demeanor, Kwon Chae-woo immediately relaxed his expression.
No, those people are non-existent.
Even so, everyone was interested in the life of the youngest brother, who became the first expectant father.
When they didnt receive any contact, one day, Kwon Hee-jun, the brother who hacked into Kwon Chae-woos phone, completely cleared out all the ultrasound photos of his niece.
Just thinking about it made veins pop on Kwon Chae-woos forehead.
My family is all here.
He pressed his forehead and the tip of his nose against Lee-yeons round belly for a long time. Seeing this, Lee-yeon opened her mouth before even thinking.
If we didnt have a child
.!
At the unexpected topic, Kwon Chae-woos body stiffened.
I will still be with Chae-woo, over and over again.
Both of them were involuntarily recalling the time when the sweet flames were surging. Kwon Chae-woo raised his head.
Yeah, I probably would have.
Lee-yeon once thought that the child in her stomach had made her into something useful. The mother who was supposed to be a strong support, actually stood on her own two feet with the child as her root.
The fear of possibly reverting to a person without a foundation if she lost the child was a hole inside her that she hadnt seen. Yet, spending the cold winter with Kwon Chae-woo made her certain.
For you, I will live steadfastly and survive. I wont be daunted or discouraged by anything.
No matter how difficult the day, whenever I open the front door and enter Chae-woos embrace, I can
Start anew countless times.
Lee-yeon lowered her gaze in relief after delivering her heartfelt words. Kwon Chae-woos body seemed to have frozen, his breath forgotten.
In a warm spring breeze, the man belatedly released the tears he had held in a corner of his heart. The end of someones winter was also approaching.
In spring, there are ladybugs, butterflies, stag beetles, caterpillars, and blue beetles
On the other hand, Gyu-baek, who had arrived in the forest early, roamed around with a bug-collecting set all over his body.
In celebration of springs arrival, he wore a bug-catching basket around his neck, held a dragonfly net in one hand, and stung here and there. However, Gyu-baek stopped in his tracks.
The child looked helplessly at Lee-yeon, who was leaning against a tree, and the man who had broken down in a tone lower than that of a cello.
!
At that moment, Gyubaek could finally decide on a gift for the child. It was the first fairy tale book that the nine-year-old bug expert himself would write.
-I will be the spruce of Hwaido. I will stand in place of the Spiritual Tree, and play old music. Until I die, until I become the heritage of the island.
At the time of the red sunset, Kwon Chae-woo played every day in the place where the spirit tree disappeared as promised.
The unusual performance was rumored in just a few days, and now, two months later, some audiences intentionally crossed from the land to Hwaido to see Kwon Chae-woo.
He began to plan to turn Hwaido into Asias Lucerne (*a Swiss city where prestigious music festivals are held) by mobilizing the funds of the family.
It was a project to brand it as a music city by establishing a professional concert hall and attracting periodic festivals, international competitions, music academies, and even hosting a childrens song festival.
It was during this time that Lee-yeon heard Kwon Chae-woo speaking German for the first time. When that happened, she felt strange and fascinated, often wandering around him to eavesdrop.
In those moments, Kwon Chae-woo would nonchalantly continue his phone call, abruptly end the conversation, and hurry over. The coarse sound he made while speaking the foreign language suited him as if he were a native.
Ive been thinking about the babys name for a while.
Lee-yeon was walking in the reed field with Kwon Chae-woo, her belly was noticeably round.
What is it?
Nam-woo.
Wood?
No, Namwoo!
Wait, isnt that your first loves name? Kwon Chae-woo frowned and snapped at Lee-yeon.
What? Do you still hold a grudge because of that?
Grudge or not, all I can think of is the jealousy I felt back then. It just makes me feel bad for no reason.
But people say they Nam-woo is nice.
What people are you talking about?
The people who knew I was pregnant early on.
Kwon Chae-woo sighed as if dumbfounded. However, when he saw her laughing while covering her mouth, he felt inexplicably entangled.
He pressed his lips against her plump, tempting cheeks and then
The two of them sprawled out on the sofa and dozed off. It almost felt like three or four people were sleeping together, prompting laughter from Lee-yeon.
With a baby in her belly, the large figure of Kwon Chae-woo occupied the space of two people.
As they lay facing each other, Lee-yeon shifted uncomfortably due to his penis stabbing against her belly.
Chae-woo, this is uncomfortable.
Why?
Why? Because it keeps touching my belly
Dont avoid it.
As Lee-yeon tried to move away, Kwon Chae-woo tightly grabbed her waist. Despite the sharp eyes, his voice was filled with bitterness.
My childs hometown is mine.
Wouldnt the baby be happy to see me in it?
Just then, a sounda rumble from Lee-yeons belly startled them. Surprised, she opened her eyes wide, hastily grabbing Kwon Chae-woos hand. Through their overlapping palms, she felt a faint vibration once again. It was a quick movement for 17 weeks.
Chae-woo, just now!
Kwon Chae-woo was frozen stiff, unable to even breathe. The man, frozen with shock and disbelief, didnt blink. It wasnt until the fetal movement surged again that he finally exhaled, seemingly holding his breath.
He looked at Lee-yeons face, which was brightly smiling, as if he couldnt believe it. His heart pounded like a babys awkward footsteps. Goosebumps rose on his back, and blood rushed fiercely.
It was almost embarrassing to say it tickled, but undoubtedly, that was the most shocking movement for Kwon Chae-woo.
He kissed Lee-yeons belly all over, silently apologizing. He wouldnt say anymore that that the baby could be held by someone elses hands. Who would entrust such a cute thing to someone else?
Kwon Chae-woo struggled against the overwhelming flood of ordinary sensations, searching for Lee-yeons lips once again.
In this way, the two of them spent worry-free days, eating, sleeping, and playing to their hearts content.
Everytime Lee-yeons head nodded off, Kwon Chae-woo promptly lifted her and took her to the bedroom.
***
How much time had passed? Lee-yeon, who had slept deeply enough to make her eye sockets stiff, suddenly woke up with a clear mind. Rubbing her heavy eyelids, she quickly sat up.
Chae-woo?
Her voice dispersed into the silent air. Lee-yeon looked around the room, searching for any trace of him, but the house was chillingly quiet. Checking the clock, it was close to midnight.
Where on earth did he go?
After spending days together as if one body, the sudden absence of Kwon Chae-woo made her anxious. Overwhelmed by uneasy feelings, she couldnt resist slipping out of bed.
Chae-woo, Mr. Kwon Chae-woo!
She called his name louder, but it echoed back into the empty living room. She wandered around, checking the bedroom, the living room, and the kitchen, but the house was eerily quiet, with no sign of him. Only the wind clinging to the windows made a faint rustling sound.
Where on earth did he go!
At that moment, behind her, the clock struck twelve with a familiar chime. Startled, Lee-yeon swept her forearm against the uneasy sensation on her shoulder.
After glancing at the swinging clock pendulum for a moment, Lee-yeon finally grabbed a flashlight and headed outside.
There, a man wearing a bundle of a black raincoat was dragging a shovel across the yard.
!
She bit her lip, almost screaming, as she slowly scanned the familiar physique.
Is it Mr. Chae-woo? Are you Chae-woo?
In response to her trembling call, Kwon Chae-woo slightly turned his head. His sharp nose and stern gaze confirmed his identity, and she swung the door wide open.
What the hell do you think youre doing, carrying a shovel at this time of night!
However, the man with dirt-covered fingertips simply passed her, heading towards the trees.
Kwon Chae-woo forcefully stuck the shovel into the ground near his grave, skillfully scooping out the dirt and clenched his teeth.
What the hell, how deep did you bury me, I cant find anything. He said.
You think Im going to be able to live here comfortably, Lee-yeon, knowing that I have a grave nearby?
Why on earth are you digging it up?!
Lee-yeon exclaimed, thinking about the saplings that might have grown there! She looked at Kwon Chae-woo, who straightened his back and threw a disappointed gaze.
Unable to answer, she looked at Kwon Chae-woo, who raised one corner of his mouth coldly.
I knew you would react like that.
Lee-yeon felt infuriated by the expression that seemed to mock her.
Anyway, even if you dig there, only pieces of debris will come out. Whats the point of! No matter how much you dig, you wont find anything useful! And for heavens sake, take off those clothes! From now on, Mr. Kwon Chae-woo, anything black at night, including raincoats, shovels, knives, axes, all of them are strictly prohibited!
At her words, Kwon Chae-woo quickly peeled the raincoat hood and threw a meaningful glance.
Do you wish you had something more to bury?
What?
At that moment, the man who dug his own grave pulled out something and examined the wooden craft under the moonlight.
Ah, it didnt rot after all.
The man who walked slowly towards Lee-yeon put the cold and damp object into her palms.
It was the wooden ornament he had carved into a flower before and given to her.
But still, isnt it better to dig something on a night like this than to bury someone?
Lee-yeon was speechless.
But, Lee-yeon, if you cant use my tools at night, it means I should just use my body, right? But it seems impossible now so I resort to this.
Frustrated by the man who only talked nonsense, Lee-yeon stomped on his foot and ran away. As she did, Kwon Chae-woo, who seemed to enjoy the whole scene, took out his phone from his pocket.
And the next morning.
W-What is this!
Various shining gifts, such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, brooches, were hanging like ornaments on the trees in the front yard.
Im back!
Lee-yeon, finishing a week-long hospital stay, shouted as she swung the front door wide open.
Even though the garden tends to get messy quickly if left unattended, Choo-ja seemed to have taken care of it during that timeit was clean and tidy.
Returning home after about forty days, it didnt feel lonely or cold, thanks to Kwon Chae-woos strong hand and warm embrace. However, he still looked discontent.
Whats on your mind?
Ive been thinking the same thing for a week.
Still?
When Lee-yeons hand went limp, Chae-woo grabbed it firmly.
They agreed to check only the box indicating that the marriage certificate would ultimately follow his mothers surname.
Whenever Chae-woo looked at the framed certificate on the side table, he made a face as if his back hurt. Sometimes he would grimace, other times he would sigh, and one day he took out a knife and relentlessly carved apples until he got tired of it.
Watching a man go through more emotional ups and downs than a pregnant woman, Lee-yeon suddenly realized the weight of the knife she held.
In the future, Chae-woo will endure this unquenchable thirst, suppressing his temper, coaxing gently, and threatening with a calm voice.
But even if he throws a tantrum, he will endure it one more time at the decisive moment. When she saw that struggling figure, her breath passed over her lips like laughter.
Seems like Mr. Chae-woo keeps forgetting
Forgetting what?
Whose child do you think Im carrying now?
Kwon Chae-woon noticed her gentle intentions, but his face stiffened her face even more.
Its not like youre carrying me.
What?
So I dont feel reassured even after hearing that.
.
While our child is extremely precious, I would die without you. A child can grow up in someone elses hands, but I if its not you
As Lee-yeon just looked at him in surprise, the man sighed.
Im just saying, love me more.
Even though it was just Kwon Chae-woos usual nonsense complaining, her ears felt hot today.
Lee-yeon turned her head in surprise at the mans endlessly longing eyes.
Then two large hands cupped her face and his eyes locked with hers.. Her head, which had turned back in surprise, was firmly fixed in place.
Im not convinced, and Im not backing down. He said determined.
Is that so?
I thought the proposal was the problem.
What?
Kwon Chae-woo hid his anxious feelings and lowered his lips to hers. He bit her upper lip and slid his tongue into the gaping gap, tracing her teeth.
The tip of his tongue was very slow as it touched her soft inner flesh in a sensual way. Her lips parted eagerly and their flesh merged as if it were the first time.
Kwon Chae-woo watched Lee-yeons eyelids flutter shut and sucked and pulled her tongue even harder. No matter where he licked, the soft, hot, narrow inside of his mouth aroused his desire to do more than kissing.
Lee-yeon let out a low moan of sexual pleasure that had soared all the way to the tip of Kwon Chae-woos head, and roughly thrust his tongue inside her harder.
Subconsciously, Kwon Chae-woo was bothered that Lee-yeon was reluctant to get married.
This simple conclusion drove him insane. She herself might not have realized it yet, but she was clearly hesitating until the issue with the Hwaidome ebds..
As much as he wanted to wait for that, Kwon Chae-woo knew it would be a long wait.
Whether now or before, Kwon Chae-woo had become a hunting dog on the precarious borderline, shifting between being aggressive and submissive.
The unpredictable waiting, the restless feeling that seemed to float alone. Suddenly, Kwon Chae-woo turned his head and nibbled on her plump cheek. Saliva and tooth marks vividly marked the pale and delicate skin.
Lee-yeon, surprised, looked at him as if to ask, What are you doing?
At that moment, the creaking door opened, and a low voice sounded. Late to receive the news, Choo-ja rushed in with a disheveled expression. She rolled her eyes back, observing the two people sticking together.
She quickly grasped the situation, had a surprised expression. Their relationship had undergone a drastic change in just a month.
No way, it must not be, not in my eyes!
Choo-ja stepped in briskly and shouted for the hospital room to clear.
That damn good-looking bastard thinks he can get away with anything!
Choo-ja?
Even if every other man in the world turns out like this, what a world will we live in!
Lee-yeon blinked her eyes at Choo-jas voice that erupted like a volcano. Kwon Chae-woo, unexpectedly facing opposition, frowned but then meekly lowered the corners of his mouth. His change in attitude was remarkably swift and discreet.
Chae-woo, no, Mr. Kwon Chae-woo, do you know how Lee-yeon endured while you were away?
Choo-ja struck his chest as if a fire had erupted.
Not eating, not sleeping Her eyes were lifeless like frozen pollack!
Suddenly, Choo-jas eyes turned red.
My insides, even Mas insides, werent as tough as yours. You shamelessly had the audacity to show your face to Lee-yeon, who almost died that day. If you had seen her gasping for breath even once, you would have wanted to stick your head in the toilet!
Choo-ja began to indiscriminately hit Kwon Chae-woos shoulders and arms with the hand that was lecturing.
Lee-yeon was startled and tried to intervene, but Kwon Chae-woo firmly held her hand, silently signaling her to stay still.
Unfortunately, Choo-ja was hitting the area where he had been shot, and it would be quite painful. However, he maintained a stoic expression, lowering his eyelashes without a change.
What kind of person is he? How pitiful and bold! Why should I accept someone who hurt my child? The one who forced her to arrange a funeral instead of a wedding! I will never allow it!
Choo-ja grabbed Kwon Chae-woo and began to shake him.
This marriage certificate!! Its useless! How dare he! There is no way I am allowing this!
Even with a stretched-out T-shirt collar covering his eyes and his bangs obscuring his forehead, he did not show any emotion. Choo-ja continued to shake Kwon Chae-woo, leading him silently.
A man who hadnt eaten properly, couldnt sleep, and suffered a major injury soon turned pale. Choo-ja momentarily stopped, but then raised her voice even louder, glaring at Lee-yeon.
Do you remember what you said? Its barely been a season since then.
Well, Ms. Choo-ja, um
Did you say that its over as soon as this man left? Did you say that this man isnt the man you loved?
While understanding Choo-jas feelings, Lee-yeon couldnt help but feel uneasy about Kwon Chae-woo. It was definitely not the right time to bring up another man in this situation.
But crazy things like rushing to declare marriage? Just date and live freely, just date! Just live by dating, without bothering about legal ties! These guys who havent even put a ring on it think they can tie the knot with a fancy piece of paper! I wont allow it!
When Choo-ja pointed her finger at Lee-yeon this time, Kwon Chae-woo unexpectedly stepped in to stop her.
Mother-in-law, I made a mistake.
Who is your mother-in-law?!
Kwon Chae-woo massaged his chin and narrowed his eyes. At the same time, he spoke with a remorseful tone, causing Choo-ja to falter slightly. Oh, its really absurd. What a nerve from a bastard who belongs to another house. But he quickly regained his composure and firmed up his wavering emotions.
Ill send mother-in-law to marriage first.
What?
The venomous tone momentarily deflated, leaving behind a sense of disappointment. Kwon Chae-woo didnt stop there.
I heard mother-in-law was Brooke Shields in her younger days. My third brother is running an investment company, a production company, and an entertainment company. I can introduce you to him. His domestic entertainment companys market capitalization exceeded 4 trillion won when it went public.
Mother-in-law, isnt it a shame to waste your talent only on managing the household alone? Its expensive too.
He was undoubtedly a scheming man. Choojas cheeks were already flushed as if she had drunk heavily. As if signaling the end, Lee-yeon nonchalantly shook the blanket, raising her head.
If that path doesnt suit you, Ill find some clean, elderly gentlemen with assets of over 100 billion won and no troublesome children for you.
Dont analyze too much.
Okay.
While Kwon Chae-woo chuckled and said hed go buy something to drink, Chooja had already escaped. Lee-yeon was about to call Chooja but stopped as she saw her expression change.
That should be enough.
What?
Lee-yeon asked, and Choo-ja squinted one eye.
You should perform this kind of show to keep a tight grip on Mr. Kwon in the future.
!
Men need to know how scary their in-laws can be.
Really?
Just now, didnt you see how scared he was of me to the point of bargaining me with a marriage?
.
And from my intuition, thats not the end for you two. The sprout is not just yellow, its sparkling gold!
Choo-ja, who had been wiggling her nostrils, suddenly used her rough hand to gently stroke Lee-yeons face.
We wont rush the marriage registration, okay? Theres no harm in living together for a while.
Despite the tender touch, Choo-jas mouth curled up as if to say, Its really satisfying.
Lee-yeon lowered her head and let go of the embarrassment that lingered in her heart. Is it not pathetic?
You? Why?
Breaking up so noisily and now reconcciling like this
As Lee-yeon lowered her voice as if she was ashamed, Choo-ja laughed heartily and took the opportunity to speak.
Thats called love!
Choo-ja laughed kindly and put her palm against her cheek. Her face tilted slightly, reminiscent of somewhere in the past, exuding a faint and enchanting feeling.
Yeon-ah, your husbands face is still handsome even if you tore it apart.
Bringing back the guy who fled from the island, well done, well done, Choo-ja said, patting her knees for a while.
It was still an inexplicable fight between the mother-in-law and son-in-law where it was unclear who won or lost.
opened his coat, enveloping Lee-yeon inside.
Soon, the two of them wandered through the seemingly endless reed fields. Lee-yeon turned her body with an expression of disbelief on her face. When Kwon Chae-woo tried to lean down again for a kiss, she quickly turned her head, avoiding the gesture.
Is all of this your land, Chae-woo?
Yes.
And all of this belongs to you?
Yes.
Lost in the vastness, Lee-yeons eyes blinked as a sturdy chin was suddenly placed on top of her head.
A gentle voice, the slow movement of an Adams apple, and the cool wind playing with the strands of her hair all conveyed a profound sense of presence.
Beautiful Hwaido Island.
Although it was a shattered slogan as the reality of Hwaido Island unfolded, Lee-yeon actually liked those words.
Ill give it all to you.
!
In the future, the entire island will sing for you. Wherever you are, wherever you go, until I become visible in the breeze.
Ill make it happen for you. Kwon Chae-woo promised, holding her tightly.
It was a moment when a mans consolation created a vast paradise.
***
The long winter had passed.
Despite the severe cold and frequent snowstorms due to the first frost warning in more than a decade, Lee-yeon experienced the warmest winter of her life.
Whenever she worried that the trees might suffer from the East Sea winds, Kwon Chae-woo climbed up the hill and wrapped the pine and persimmon trees with straw.
Lee-yeon sent handmade baby clothes to the local government whenever she had spare time, and the house gradually filled with various adorable baby items.
Lets endure this winter well and make sure to bloom the leaves. We made it through, she whispered like a prayer whenever she found a moment.
الحجاب في مصر وإيران: ما هو الفرق وما يهم معرفته؟7 سيدات لامعات من السعوديةAt this moment, Lee-yeon was leaning against a tree, listening to a gentle melody, much like on a certain day in the distant past.
The greetings of love emanating from the mans hands were as soft and warm as the early spring weather.
In the midst of the dense forest, there were sparkling glass lanterns, a suitable-sized table, and delicately arranged flowers scattered in secret places.
It was a baby shower that Kwon Chae-woo had meticulously prepared for Lee-yeon, who was approaching childbirth.
After finishing the performance, he carefully wiped the fingerboard, body, and bridge with a cotton cloth. Lee-yeon, observing this, scanned Kwon Chae-woos black hair, well-defined back, tightly pulled shoulders, and even the thighs revealed when he bent his knees.
Bathing in the sunlight filtering through the leaves, she suddenly asked, Chae-woo, isnt it boring to live with me?
Im not sure what you heard.
Kwon Chae-woo smirked, raising one eyebrow.
I feel like Ive turned you into a househusband, Chae-woo.
Im sorry, but I spent a fulfilling winter.
Still, originally
Originally?
I thought you would rather be a bit more
A bit more?
Busier. Back at the Kwons house Lee-yeon lowered her voice.
In that place, Kwon Chae-woo always carried the scent of blood. During the day, he would either sprawl out or stand tall like a bamboo shoot, and at night, he would wear a pitch-black mask, revealing only his eerie eyes.
The man who used to stand on the stage of the Berlin Philharmonic Hall now played music on the ground like a poor student. Every time she saw him like that, a faint uneasiness took root in Lee-yeons heart.
Maybe, he would yearn for the wealth and honor he enjoyed in the past. Perhaps he would one day find his place and leave.
But Lee-yeon didnt know.
She didnt know that this househusband had quietly taken root as the next successor of the Kwon family.

Contact - ToS - SiNo, Namwoo!
Wait, isnt that your first loves name? Kwon Chae-woo frowned and snapped at Lee-yeon.
What? Do you still hold a grudge because of that?
Grudge or not, all I can think of is the jealousy I felt back then. It just makes me feel bad for no reason.
But people say they Nam-woo is nice.
What people are you talking about?
The people who knew I was pregnant early on.
Kwon Chae-woo sighed as if dumbfounded. However, when he saw her laughing while covering her mouth, he felt inexplicably entangled.
He pressed his lips against her plump, tempting cheeks and then opened his coat, enveloping Lee-yeon inside.
Soon, the two of them wandered through the seemingly endless reed fields. Lee-yeon turned her body with an expression of disbelief on her face. When Kwon Chae-woo tried to lean down again for a kiss, she quickly turned her head, avoiding the gesture.
Is all of this your land, Chae-woo?
Yes.
And all of this belongs to you?
Yes.
Lost in the vastness, Lee-yeons eyes blinked as a sturdy chin was suddenly placed on top of her head.
A gentle voice, the slow movement of an Adams apple, and the cool wind playing with the strands of her hair all conveyed a profound sense of presence.
Beautiful Hwaido Island.
Although it was a shattered slogan as the reality of Hwaido Island unfolded, Lee-yeon actually liked those words.
Ill give it all to you.
!
In the future, the entire island will sing for you. Wherever you are, wherever you go, until I become visible in the breeze.
Ill make it happen for you. Kwon Chae-woo promised, holding her tightly.
It was a moment when a mans consolation created a vast paradise.
***
The long winter had passed.
Despite the severe cold and frequent snowstorms due to the first frost warning in more than a decade, Lee-yeon experienced the warmest winter of her life.
Whenever she worried that the trees might suffer from the East Sea winds, Kwon Chae-woo climbed up the hill and wrapped the pine and persimmon trees with straw.
Lee-yeon sent handmade baby clothes to the local government whenever she had spare time, and the house gradually filled with various adorable baby items.
Lets endure this winter well and make sure to bloom the leaves. We made it through, she whispered like a prayer whenever she found a moment.

The greetings of love emanating from the mans hands were as soft and warm as the early spring weather.
In the midst of the dense forest, there were sparkling glass lanterns, a suitable-sized table, and delicately arranged flowers scattered in secret places.
It was a baby shower that Kwon Chae-woo had meticulously prepared for Lee-yeon, who was approaching childbirth.
After finishing the performance, he carefully wiped the fingerboard, body, and bridge with a cotton cloth. Lee-yeon, observing this, scanned Kwon Chae-woos black hair, well-defined back, tightly pulled shoulders, and even the thighs revealed when he bent his knees.
Bathing in the sunlight filtering through the leaves, she suddenly asked, Chae-woo, isnt it boring to live with me?
Im not sure what you heard.
Kwon Chae-woo smirked, raising one eyebrow.
I feel like Ive turned you into a househusband, Chae-woo.
Im sorry, but I spent a fulfilling winter.
Still, originally
Originally?
I thought you would rather be a bit more
A bit more?
Busier. Back at the Kwons house Lee-yeon lowered her voice.
In that place, Kwon Chae-woo always carried the scent of blood. During the day, he would either sprawl out or stand tall like a bamboo shoot, and at night, he would wear a pitch-black mask, revealing only his eerie eyes.
The man who used to stand on the stage of the Berlin Philharmonic Hall now played music on the ground like a poor student. Every time she saw him like that, a faint uneasiness took root in Lee-yeons heart.
Maybe, he would yearn for the wealth and honor he enjoyed in the past. Perhaps he would one day find his place and leave.
But Lee-yeon didnt know.
She didnt know that this househusband had quietly taken root as the next successor of the Kwon family.
