On the upcoming Saturday, Taehee drove to the blind date location. It was a blind date set right after meeting Minseontae the day before. While everything else was slow, this part was as fast as it was irritating. Even though it was a blind date she didn’t need to attend since she already knew Sajun’s feelings, she still had to go due to the already-made appointment. Breaking promises with Minseontae doesn’t make her feel guilty, but it’s not courteous to the blind date partner. For the blind date, she planned to go out and reject him, then immediately go to Sajun.

In fact, although she said goodbye to Sajun, saying to meet in a week, she thought he would contact her within a day that he couldn’t do it. However, even now, almost a week later, there was no contact from Sajun. That meant Sajun had been pondering intensely until now. It also meant that she was such an important presence to Sajun.

It was a bit regrettable that she couldn’t become the next daughter-in-law of the Seo family, but she decided to be satisfied with this. As her thoughts flowed there, Taehee smirked. “Oh my, I must be really ambitious.” Finally, they arrived at the cafe parking lot. Before getting out of the car, Taehee took out her phone. Checking the time, it was 10:50 AM, the time when Kang Sajun would be either sleeping or exercising.

However, during the brief separation period, Taehee decided to send a message because she didn’t know how Sajun’s lifestyle pattern might have changed.

[I came to see the blind date at the cafe on Garosu-gil in Sinsadong. It’s an already scheduled appointment, so I’ll reject him in person and come directly to you. It won’t take even five minutes, so don’t worry. By the way, they say this place has the best souffle cake. I’ll pack it, so let’s eat it together.]

Her hope was that Sajun would be at the hotel. While she did miss Sajun, there was a separate reason.

Taehee took out an ultrasound photo from her handbag and looked at it with a gentle gaze.

“Today, I’ll show Sajun the ultrasound photo and let him hear the heartbeat.”

Taehee, who got out of the car and entered the cafe, was slightly surprised.

The cafe was too cute and pretty for a blind date venue.

She was faintly curious about who the blind date man was that chose such a place to meet.

“He said it’s table number 8.”

Checking the table number while walking, she suddenly arrived at the far end by the window.

A man, neatly dressed in a navy-colored suit that gave off a blue light, was sitting with his back turned.

Thinking that she didn’t even know the blind date man’s name, she pondered how to start a conversation.

As if sensing her presence, the man slowly turned his head.

The moment Taehee’s eyes met the man’s soft pupils, she almost let out a scream.

“Why is Senior Jehyun here?”

The blind date man was Song Jehyun.

As soon as Sajun opened his eyes in the morning, he exercised for an hour and then swam for another hour.

Two hours of exercise; the entire body’s muscles, properly bulked up, shouted for energy to explode.

To settle the boiling heat, Sajun raised the lever toward the cold water in the shower booth.

Cold water poured down like a waterfall, but it couldn’t clean Sajun’s messed-up mind.

From the day he met Mintaehee until today, his mind was a complete mess.

In his 29 years of life, it was the first time he felt such complicated emotions.

When Taehee said she was pregnant, it felt like his heart stopped.

It was hard to believe, but he was too shocked to react.

But then, due to Mintaehee’s confession that she loves him, he felt so happy for the first time.

Mintaehee loves me, she’s pregnant with my child, I’m going to be a dad.

Just thinking about it made a silly smile burst out.

Imagining the pregnant Mintaehee with a bulging belly made him feel infinitely buoyant.

An unknown warm breeze blew, tickling his chest.

However, Mintaehee’s two conditions at the end made Sajun feel like he was falling again.
When I locked the lever, the water flow stopped, and droplets fell from my wet hair.

“How could you do that to me?”

It was acceptable for others, but Mintaehee shouldn’t have said such things to me.

Mintaehee knew this as well as Sajun did.

She resented Chairman Kang, her father, the most, and the last thing she wanted was to become the successor to Seowon.

But she couldn’t say it directly in front of her.

To Mintaehee, who made such a statement despite knowing the situation, Sajun felt both betrayal and understanding.

If she had confessed before the day she had to keep the promise with Hui-gu, before the blind date, before the confession, before the relationship, giving trust like now wouldn’t have been difficult.

So, it was an issue of damn timing.

Promise with Hui-gu, blind date, confession, dating.

Sajun understood why Mintaehee couldn’t believe it.
