CHAPTER 28

As Taehyung's identity was special, approval was not granted for his request to exit the border.

On the other end, Park Juno's mother had finally relented and agreed to take the train to bring the needed items to Goseong, but then she still ended up backing out and standing them up. No matter how Lalisa persuaded her over the phone, it was no use, and it felt more like Lalisa was Juno's mother. This whole matter left her and Taehyung very irked.

Fortunately, in the end, the brigade commander put on airs fo authority and got an authorization for " special circumstances warranting special measures. " Setting up for Juno's a new residential permit registered to the military barracks. The " head of the household " listen in the indigency booklet was Park Juno himself. When the maroon-coloured indigency booklet was opened, only a single name, the name of the child, was seen written inside.

Floating there alone, like duckweed being battered by the wind.

Prior to driving into Seoul, Lalisa made call to Jisoo.

Juno was asleep, so Lalisa and Taehyung did not plan to pick him up and bring him back with them. The two arbitrarily ate something and then headed straight to Lalisa's home.

Taehyung had some matters to attend to over the next two days, so he arranged with Jisoo that they would go pick up Juno in a couple of days. While they were at it, they would get things in order to bring the child here to Lalisa's place so he could attend school. As for himself... he very calmly informed Lalisa, marriage was a must because, from the very beginning, the two of them had not used contraceptive measures. Naturally, then, the sooner the better.

First and foremost, though, they needed to resolve the issues of their two families.

But tonight, they would first go home.

This was Taehyung's first time in her home.

Lalisa's place was a small, loft-style home. The lower level consisted of the living room, a large study, a guest room, a bathroom, and the kitchen. On the upper level were two rooms, one of which was a bedroom with an attached bathroom and the other formerly a small study but had since become Park Juno's bedroom after he came here.

The home itself did not have a large layout, but its advantage was its good location. Previously, when Lalisa's little boss came here and saw it, she had insistently offered to buy it from Lalisa at a price higher than the market value, but Lalisa would not agree to it no matter what. This was the house she was going to live in after retirement and into old age. She had even thought through how she would renovate it when she was old and her legs were not strong and she was moving about with difficulty...

" Go sit down on the couch for a bit. I'll get you some water. "

Lalisa went to open the main water valve. When she came back, he was already nowhere to be seen.

The several travel duffels in the living room were all open, and inside the bathroom there was the noise of running water. She followed the sound.

Taehyung had somehow managed to find the washbasin that she normally used for washing clothes, and he had added some liquid laundry detergent into it and turned on the faucet. Water from the tap flowed along his palm and gushed to the base of the washbasin. From the basin's bottom, clouds of suds swelled upwards. Clothing was piled by his feet. Without even turning his head to look at her, he said.

" Sort through them a bit. How are you supposed to wash them? "

So, Lalisa lightly raked through the pile and tossed into the corner the garments that required dry cleaning, then looked through the remaining clothes.
