Ina’s eyes were filled with tears at those words.
As Ina stared at Juwon with a tense expression, Juhee pushed Juwon aside and pulled Ina towards her.
Then, wiping Ina’s eyes, which were smeared and messy due to her ruined eye makeup, Juhee sniffled.
Ina also sniffled as she raised her hand to wipe Juhee’s tears.
It was truly a scene that one couldn’t bear to watch without tears.
“Ina, let’s go inside for now.”
When Juhee spoke with a nasal voice, Ina nodded her head.
Holding Ina’s hand, Juhee led her into the living room.
Juwon, who had taken a short breath, took off his shoes and followed the two women inside.
Leading them into a narrow living room, Juhee made Ina sit on the sofa beside her.
When Ina looked into Juwon’s eyes, holding her hands, the tears that had stopped began to flow again.
Thinking that Ina might not be able to handle it, Juhee grabbed tissues from the table and wiped away Juhee’s tears.
“Ina, let’s stop crying. Okay? It’s a good day, so we should smile. If you cry too much, the baby will be startled. So, cheer up. Okay?”
While saying that, Ina, who was also in a tearful state, managed to nod as Juhee agreed.
When Juhee pulled out a tissue to wipe her nose, Ina also did the same.
Watching the two women with swollen red eyes in just a few minutes, Juwon let out a short sigh.
“Stop crying. I’ll make a cup of tea for each of you, so let’s talk while drinking.”
Juwon said as he took off his jacket.
After a while, he went into the bedroom, changed into comfortable clothes, and came back after washing his hands.
Holding Ina’s hands, Juhee began to ask various questions, and Ina answered in detail.
Ina also asked Juhee about what she was curious about, and Juhee answered in a nasal voice.
As Juwon listened to the voices of the two women, he boiled water in the coffee pot.
After a while, Ina got up from the sofa when Juwon boiled the water.
“Juhee, I’ll quickly use the restroom.”
“Yeah, sure.”
Ina took out a compact from her handbag and headed to the bathroom.
Opening the bathroom door, Ina was astonished when she saw the bathroom interior that was no less than a hotel.
The spacious gray-toned bathroom, complete with a cypress bathtub, was neat and sophisticated.
“Wow, I could even sleep here.”
Ina admired the spacious bathroom and then headed to the sink.
Placing the compact on the sink, Ina was surprised when she looked in the mirror.
In that short time, her eyes were swollen, and her eye makeup was erased, making her face a mess.
“Wow, I’ve been doing this molgol continuously…”
Ina quickly touched up her makeup with the compact, fixed her hair, and left the bathroom.
After leaving the bathroom, Juwon brought a tray with tea.
Juhee received rooibos tea, and on Ina and his side, he placed chrysanthemum tea, then sat down.
“Thank you.”
Ina said, and Juhee also reached for the cup, saying, “Thank you, Ju.”
At the word ‘Ju,’ Ina looked at Juhee with a puzzled expression.
Did Juwon just call him ‘Ju’ now?
It seemed like Juhee noticed Ina’s feelings, and she smiled as she spoke.
“In middle school, we, including Juwon, had a stormy period, right? Back then, we didn’t call each other ‘Ju’ because it was a time when we fought until blood spilled. I started calling him ‘Ju’ after I went to Japan.”
“Ah, I see.”
As Ina nodded, looking at ‘Ju,’ Juhee, who seemed displeased with it, made a face as if she would endure it. Ina burst into laughter at that expression.
Juhee also chuckled, then firmly held Ina’s hands.
“But, our lovely Ina, how come you haven’t changed a bit?”
Looking at Ina with eyes dripping with honey, Juhee spoke.
“And you, how come you are so slim and pretty? You were beautiful back then, and now you’re still so beautiful. I can’t even tell you’re pregnant.”
Honey dripped from Juhee’s eyes as she looked at Ina.
“Oh my, our cute Ina. Even though you’re turning thirty the day after tomorrow, how come your skin is still so baby-like?”
Leaving it like this, the compliment relay seemed endless, so Juwon raised his hand and spoke.
“Both of you are slim and pretty, so can we stop drinking tea now?”
Ina and Juhee nodded their heads, laughing.
While sipping fragrant tea, Ina and Juhee brought out stories from the past 13 years, one by one.
Engaged in conversation for two hours without realizing the passing time, they found that it was already past 6 o’clock.
Looking at the clock, Juwon got up from his seat.
“Are you hungry? I’ll prepare dinner, so continue talking.”
“Oh? I’ll help too.”
As Ina tried to get up, Juwon shook his head, saying it’s okay.
“No, you don’t have to. You can just sit there. Let the two of you talk.”
“Still…”
Feeling apologetic, Ina looked at Juwon with a sorry expression.
“Okay. Since you’re the guest, just sit. Let’s continue talking, just the two of us.”
Looking at Juwon heading to the kitchen, Ina gazed at Juhee and eventually turned her head to Juhee.
Thus, the two continued their conversation. After a while, Juwon called them.
“I’ve set the table. Come and eat.”

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
