“The consultation is over, and I’m waiting for the blood test results.”
The one who chased Tae Jo out as soon as they arrived at the hospital was Dr. Shim. His excuse was to get something for Se Kyung, who hadn’t even eaten dinner yet…
In reality, it was out of consideration, wondering if it might be uncomfortable for Se Kyung to have her consultation with the company’s director by her side.
Of course, this was probably because he didn’t know Tae Jo was the father of the child.
“What are those?”
“This is beef, and this is sushi. There’s a good place nearby.”
“Ah……”
Suddenly, she remembered the last time when she couldn’t eat properly after going out to eat eel.
If she couldn’t eat the food he had thoughtfully bought, what would she do out of guilt…
“Why? Neither of them are good?”
“No. It’s not that. Just in case. I haven’t been able to eat my favorite foods lately because my taste has changed.”
“You don’t have to force yourself to eat. Eat what you crave. If you don’t want it, don’t eat it. If there’s any leftover, I’ll eat it.”
Tae Jo took out the packaged food from the shopping bags.
The wellcooked meat exuded the rich aroma of butter, and the sushi bar had a wide array of colorful options, as if they had swept through the whole menu.
Beef, flatfish, eel, egg, tuna, shrimp, and more.
Contrary to her earlier worries, her mouth watered as soon as she laid eyes on the food.
“I will enjoy the meal.”
Se Kyung broke her chopsticks in half and picked up a steak. As she chewed, the meat melted in her mouth.
What was so delicious about this…
She intended to eat only a little, but once she started, she couldn’t stop. Se Kyung stuffed her cheeks full of food, like a squirrel filling its cheeks with acorns.
Chewing contentedly, she suddenly realized that she was the only one eating and looked at Tae Jo.
“…”
As expected, Tae Jo was watching her eat while leaning back in his chair.
“President, aren’t you eating?”
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Se Kyung asked Tae Jo.
“Se Kyung, you eat a lot. I’ll eat later.”
“I feel awkward eating alone…”
Trailing off, Se Kyung picked up a piece of tuna sushi and offered it to Tae Jo.
“Eat, please.”
“…”
“Oh, do you not like tuna? Then something else…”
As Se Kyung reached for a different sushi, Tae Jo, chuckling, grabbed her arm.
“No. It’s fine. I like tuna.”
Tae Jo leaned in closer, opening his mouth. Se Kyung could feel her pulse beating faster at her captured wrist.
“It’s delicious.”
“Yes. It is… delicious, right?”
Realizing belatedly what she had just done, Se Kyung’s cheeks turned a faint red.
As she bit into a piece of egg sushi, Tae Jo opened a bottle of mineral water and set it down in front of her.
Taking a gulp of the cold water to calm her racing heart, Se Kyung opened her mouth.
“I’m curious about something.”
“What is it?”
Having just taken a drink, Tae Jo nodded, as if to invite her to speak.
“How did you know about this place, President?”
“This place? Well, Dr. Shim’s father has been our family doctor for a long time, so I’ve known Dr. Shim since a long time ago. Thanks to that, I’m getting some help now.”
“What kind of help?”
“Almost all of our actresses come here for their treatments. It’s uncomfortable to go for health checkups and receive various looks just by visiting the gynecologist. So, for those who wish, I connect them to this hospital.”
Ah, so that’s why. That natural conversation. Se Kyung nodded in understanding.
“But when do the results come out?”
“They said it would take about 20 to 30 minutes…”
“So isn’t it about time?”
Tae Jo glanced at his wristwatch then looked at Se Kyung.
“What did the consultation say?”
“They said to start with a blood test…”
Se Kyung nibbled gently on her chopsticks.
When she showed the pregnancy test to Dr. Shim, told her about the date of her last period, and had a consultation, the doctor also said that she was likely pregnant.
The blood test results would make it even more certain.
“Wow, what a delicious smell.”
The gentleman seemed helpless, as Dr. Shim appeared at the entrance of the waiting room with a loud noise.
When Tae Jo turned to look, the doctor quickly approached, carrying the results in her hand, and hovered around the table.
“Oh my, this is Chef Song’s sushi from the building next to us. I knew you would bring something delicious. You really picked the most expensive ones.”
“Ah, Director, please have some too. It seems like you haven’t had your meal yet.”
“Hmm, no, I’ve eaten a bit earlier.”
“Did the results come out?”
When Tae Jo asked, Director Shim nodded.
“Yes, they are out. Se Kyung, come to the examination room after you finish eating.”
“I’ve finished eating. I’m going in now.”
As Se Kyung put down her chopsticks, Tae Jo frowned.
“Why are you going in? We can just talk here……”
“That’s enough. Mr. Jin, please clear this up.”
Director Shim, who made Tae Jo clean up, entered the examination room with Se Kyung. She showed her the results and cautiously spoke.
“You’re pregnant, Se Kyung. You’re six weeks along.”
“……”
“If you want, you can confirm with an ultrasound now.”
Se Kyung didn’t say anything for a moment. She held her hands together and slowly exhaled.
“Can I have the ultrasound… the next time I come?”
“Sure. You must be feeling complicated right now. Ah, are you going to tell President Jin yourself? It seems like he already knows you’re pregnant from the phone call.”
Se Kyung gave a difficult smile. If Tae Jo didn’t know anything, she would have been worried, but now, she wondered what else she had to hide from the father of her child.
“Please tell him if he asks. After all, he should know.”
“I will. Ah, and make the reservation to my mobile phone number written on this card. If possible, it would be nice if the… the father of the child could come with you next time.”
Hmm, he’s outside right now…
Se Kyung swallowed the words she couldn’t utter and awkwardly smiled.
After finishing the consultation, while Se Kyung was sitting in the waiting room, Director Shim called Tae Jo.
It was because Se Kyung had asked her to tell Tae Jo about the results on her behalf.
She seemed unsure of how to start, scratching her head and letting out a sigh.
“Haah. Well, you probably suspected this since you called me.”
“……”
“Se Kyung, she’s pregnant.”
“How many weeks?”
“Six weeks.”
“Six weeks? Is that counted from the day we had relations?”
“No, you dummy.”
“……”
“And don’t mention anything about relations in front of Se Kyung. Ah, why on earth did you come with her. She must be so embarrassed.”
Why should she be embarrassed? I’m the father of the child.
“So, when was the child conceived?”
“About a month ago?”
“Ah, a month…”
Tae Jo counted the days. Without a doubt, it was their child conceived that day.
“We haven’t confirmed with an ultrasound yet, but anyway, she’s in the early stages of pregnancy, so be careful. It seems like not many people know, so you should take care of her.”
“Got it. Thanks for your hard work. Keep the secret as usual.”
“Don’t worry about that. But…”
Director Shim tugged at Tae Jo’s clothes. He looked at her as if to ask if there was something else to say.
“What?”
“Who the hell is he? I know there were no dating rumors about Se Kyung. Which bastard got her pregnant without even sparking a dating scandal?”
Director Shim ground her teeth. If that bastard were in front of her, she looked ready to grab him by the collar.
Seeing Director Shim fuming and pacing around, he furrowed his eyebrows.
“That bastard….”
….is right beside you.
