It seemed like ages since they took off their school uniforms, dressed up flamboyantly, and imitated adults amidst the bustling new students. In the midst of it all, her serene and composed demeanor caught attention.
She was cheerful and courageous. Kind, diligent, and had a great sense of humor. When she blinked her eyes with a innocent and gentle face, she looked so cute, like a puppy.
It felt like love at first sight. Looking at how she couldn’t take her eyes off him.
He set a goal to establish his own architectural office until Dajeong graduated.
He obtained a small office space and put up a sign that read “Hanbit Architecture Office,” named after the club they had been active in together.
He arranged a desk by the sunny window and placed a nameplate that could be clearly seen. He had business cards made.
Everything was prepared for Dajeong.
He wanted her to become a capable employee. He wanted to build a strong and beautiful house that we dreamed of together. He wanted to confess his feelings like that.
While carrying a bouquet of flowers to meet Dajeong, his heart felt like it would burst multiple times.
When they met, Dajeong smiled shyly. That smile she showed back then was the same smile from the freshman welcome party.
The only change was the slightly protruding belly under her thin dress, blown up like a balloon.
“That’s how it turned out, sunbae. It’s quite amusing to have a big belly, right?”
The gentle curves of the delicate fingers that shyly brushed the hair behind her ear while smiling in embarrassment were unforgettable.
“Sunbae, what’s that flower? It’s not for me, is it?”
Dojun couldn’t help but laugh helplessly.
“Why not? I guess I bought the flower for this.”
“What?”
“Congratulations on your pregnancy.”
Even now, Dojun couldn’t understand.
Where did it go wrong?
If he had confessed a little sooner, if he had made her his woman a little sooner.
You and me. Would our future have been different?
As he smoothly slid the steering wheel, Jung Hyuk didn’t expect his brows to unfurrow.
“Oppa should come pick her up. There’s no other choice.”
The car that was perfectly fine suddenly refused to start today. That was a trick up his sleeve. A move he dared to make with his own hands.
Knowing it was a predictable trick, Jung Hyuk still drove towards the kindergarten.
The kindergarten entrance was no different from last time, as noisy things came rushing out through the front door. They rushed out and looked around for their moms.
In the meantime, one child who was in between strayed from the path and ran over to him, greeting him with a pouty belly button.
“Mister! Hello!”
The child was remarkably polite, as if they were passing by.
Jung Hyuk lowered his eyes and looked at the child who had drunk a lot of water.
It was Yoo Da Jung’s child.
His eyes reflexively scanned the surroundings. He couldn’t see the child’s mother. His gaze dropped back down. The big black pupils were clear and sparkling.
When he pretended to recognize the child, he thought about shaking hands as a polite gesture from his pocket.
“Siwoo!”
Soli, who had been following behind, had a slightly surprised face.
She had been waiting in front of the entrance and was taken aback when she saw Siwoo suddenly run to the opposite side.
Soli bent her knees and wrapped her arms around Siwoo’s shoulders.
“Why didn’t you come to your aunt? You scared me.”
“I wanted to say hi to the uncle!”
“Uncle?”
Soli’s gaze turned toward the man standing with the sun shining on his head. Seeing the rarely seen happy man, Soli stood up, discreetly lifting her bent knee.
“Siwoo, who is this person?”
“Uncle!”
Siwoo shouted with joy. Soli’s lips curved into a gentle smile.
“Hello. Are you a college senior? Seems like you and Siwoo know each other.”
“Well, just passing by.”
A sudden fatigue passed over Jung Hyuk’s complexion. At that moment, a soprano voice rang out.
“Oppa!”
With a leap, Hyeona hooked her arm around Jung Hyuk’s and smiled brightly, then immediately sent an unkind glance at Soli and Siwoo.
“Mom didn’t come today?”
“Yes, Siwoo’s aunt. But, Director, why did you become so pretty? I saw you at the entrance ceremony, but you’ve become even prettier since then.”
“What? Uh… Well.”
“Wow, your skin is as smooth as a peeled egg. It’s truly dazzling.”
Sol, who seemed capable of flattery as a shopkeeper, had lost the sharpness that had occupied most of Hyuna’s face and disappeared without a trace.
Sol’s eyes quickly scanned the couple with their arms crossed.
“Seems like you two are acquainted.”
“He’s the person I’m going to marry.”
A proud smile spread across Hyuna’s face as if she had been waiting for that question.
“Oh, I see.”
It seemed likely. Sol, who had been nodding her head, suddenly began to stiffen her expression.
Her rigid gaze stared intently at Jung Hyuk’s face, quickly dropped to Siwoo’s face, and then snapped back to Jung Hyuk’s face.
Sol, who had swallowed her surprised breath, clapped her hands playfully.
