Chapter 35

HAEIN

Jisoo laughed at me when I was nervous. She drove (I had no idea how sexy it could be). Haeji was in the backseat, absently playing something on her tablet.

"You're cute when you're nervous." She says, laughing again. "Relax baby. My parents aren't so bad." I took a deep breath. I felt like a young man going to ask her parents for the hand of the girl I loved. "If it helps; my dad likes to play golf too."

"Yeah, we can talk about that." I say trying to calm down. "Haeji..." She looks up at me and blinks slowly. She is so beautiful. "Are you excited to have dinner with your grandparents?" Haeji nodded smiling.

"My uncles and cousins will be there too. Daddy, why doesn't Uncle Haejun have any children?" I laughed.

"He still hasn't found the right woman for that."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Her brow furrowed, and I didn't know how to explain to her why my brother didn't have kids.

"To have a child, you need to marry someone you love. Your uncle still hasn't found the right woman to marry."

"You and Mom aren't married." Jisoo and I looked at each other quickly.

"She got you there." She comments laughing.

"Dad, you said you were going to marry Mom and you still haven't." She spoke as if I had been promised a marriage for years. Jisoo giggled and probably noticed that I couldn't answer her anymore.

"Haeji, we already explained to you that when I was pregnant, things were complicated. Your father and I loved each other very much and that's why you were born, we couldn't wait until the wedding." She looks at me with malice that Haeji didn't notice. "After you were born, and we were tricked, we broke up, and now we're back together. Our priority was you, and we weren't thinking about marriage."

"What about the baby?"

"We weren't thinking about a baby either." She answered. "We were only thinking of getting you back, the baby was..." She cleared her throat, not knowing how to speak. "A little accident."

"But aren't you going to get married?"

"We will." I sighed in relief. "But right now we need to focus on the baby first. I don't want to get married having a big belly." I smiled imagining her with a bigger belly and dressed as a bride.

"You would look beautiful." I say without realizing that I was staring at her with dreamy eyes.

"Mom would look great anyway, even with her big belly." Haeji says making us laugh.

We arrived at Jisoo's parents' house, a big and luxurious house, of course, I didn't expect less, the Kim family was a rich and successful family.

A maid answered us and we entered. Before we reached the dining room, it was possible to hear laughter and children's voices and also adult voices. When we showed up, four children and six adults turned their attention to us instantly.

"Finally!" Says one of the men.

"Haeji!" Called a boy. "Come and do puzzles with us."

"Can I, Mom?" Ask Jisoo who nodded.

"Greet your uncles and grandparents first."

"Good night!" She bowed to them and ran to her cousins to play.

"So you're the famous guy who got my sister pregnant twice?" I swallowed and looked at Jisoo for help.

"Are you serious, Jung-hoon?" She asks with an arched eyebrow. "You got someone's sister pregnant twice too."
