The drama produced by his company with great care had started filming, and Kang-hyun, who was now fully involved in managing the agency, had been busy and exhausted. Taking advantage of the holiday, he was immersed in sleep.
The insomnia that had plagued him for so long seemed to have disappeared like a lie.
“We agreed to go to your mother’s oxygen today.”
“Right, I forgot.”
Mumbling, Kang-hyun pulled Yoon’s wrist, and Yoon nestled into his arms. Even in his drowsiness, he repeatedly kissed her delicate fingers with a ring on them.
“Are you very tired?”
Yoon asked, stroking his face.
“No, let’s just stay like this for a moment.”
Kang-hyun looked at her lovingly and brushed her hair behind her ear.
“Our Yoon is sparkling, shining. Is it because your name is Yoon? It’s dazzling since the morning.”
“…”
“Why so shy?”
Kang-hyun revealed his white teeth and chuckled.
Yoon looked at her husband’s face as if she were enchanted. Perhaps this man could look so handsome even when he was sleepy and disheveled. Yoon’s heart fluttered again.
“Well, a bit.”
However, she hid her true feelings. If she accidentally touched Kang-hyun in the morning, she might end up being stuck with him in bed all day.
“I just spoke the truth.”
Kang-hyun gently caressed her Yoon’s soft hair.
“Our Teacher of the Nation doesn’t like cheesy lines.”
“Now that I’m not the Teacher of the Nation anymore. Now, we’re the political-business collusion couple.”
“Can things change so dramatically overnight?”
Despite the grumbling tone, Kang-hyun’s expression showed no significant change.
“Say whatever you want. But, by the way, did you get hurt? Now that you’re not the Teacher of the Nation.”
“I’ve been living well even when I wasn’t the Teacher of the Nation. So, it doesn’t matter. And time will take care of it.”
Yoon was like Kang-hyun in this regard. In fact, she felt more relieved without the title of the Teacher of the Nation.
“Well, it will pass.”
“More importantly, I’m worried about the company. Will it be okay, really?”
Regardless of the situation, it was awkward for Yoon to deal with Chairman Cha because he was her birth father.
“Well, it’ll be okay. Since there’s nothing given or received, you don’t have to worry.”
“That’s a relief.”
“Also, since you have nothing to do with Representative Seo, don’t be unnecessarily downhearted in front of father. Got it?”
“Yes.”
Kang-hyun patted Yoon’s back.
“But, it’s really nice when you’re in this house.”
“Is it?”
“Yeah. So, um… I used to dislike this house. Even when I was young, and especially after my mother passed away.”
Kang-hyun’s voice was somewhat subdued.
“Yes.”
“But now, with you here, this house has become nice. Well, it’s like the house that used to look colorless now appears in pastel tones, wouldn’t you say?”
Kang-hyun said, gently caressing her face.
“So, does this house also sparkle like you?”
“Hahaha, yes, it sparkles like Yoon. Almost blindingly.”
Kang-hyun laughed as he embraced Yoon even more.
Yesterday, when Kang-hyun returned home, he realized that he no longer felt suffocated when thinking about this house. As he entered the neighborhood, he found himself smiling whenever the house came into view, imagining Yoon being there.
Perhaps Yoon, having received his message that he would arrive soon, had prepared the clothes he would change into and occasionally came to the parking lot to wait for him. No matter how much he tried to dissuade her, Yoon waited for him in the parking lot. When he got out of the car, she would run up, hug him tightly, and with her cute and charming face, ask, “Was it tough?” If she did that, all the accumulated fatigue from the day would disappear in an instant. Holding hands with Yoon, they would leisurely stroll through the garden, sharing their daily lives with each other, reading books in the study, and when night fell, he would embrace her warm and cuddly body as they went to sleep.
Every day was happy for Kang-hyun.
After having breakfast together, Kang-hyun and Yoon headed to Mrs. Song Ki-seon’s oxygen therapy. It was a road that they had been postponing for a long time.
Kang-hyun, recalling his mother’s terrible last moments, had stopped in his tracks for the first few years. Even after that, he rarely went there, suffering severe bouts of illness for a few days after each visit.
But today, strangely, his steps were light, as if going on a picnic.
Even the weather was exceptionally good. The wind blowing felt refreshing, as if spring were truly on its way.
Kang-hyun couldn’t wait to greet his mother, and Yoon wanted to introduce herself as well.
Recently, with tears streaming down her face, Ki-seon sincerely apologized to Kang-hyun, holding his hand. Kang-hyun hugged her without saying a word for a long time.
“Kang-hyun, be happy. And… please take care of your brother. …I’m sorry.”
As if it were her last words to him, Ki-seon said.
Not long ago, Kang-hyun had a dream about his mother. He was in the middle of a meeting at the company when someone said a guest had arrived. When he went out to see, unexpectedly, his mother was there.
She was beautifully made up, wearing nice clothes, and looked stunning. Kang-hyun, overjoyed, quickly took Ki-seon’s hand.
“Mom, why are you standing outside like this? Come inside quickly.”
However, his mother just smiled without saying anything. The shadow of unhappiness that had been on her face had disappeared completely, and she looked incredibly peaceful. The two of them stared at each other, smiling for a long time. Suddenly, he woke up.
After waking up from the dream, Kang-hyun was dazed for a while. Then he thought that his mother had come to say goodbye to him for the last time.

“Mom, I am happy now. So, please be happy there too. Until we meet again.”
Kang-hyun turned to Yoon.
Under the bright sunshine, Yoon, his wife, was sparkling with a warm smile as she looked at him.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
