A Decade of Lost Time and Lingering Memories
The night you shared was never meant to be more than a fleeting connection. But even as you both drifted apart, the memory of that night and the feelings you couldn't shake lingered in the corners of your...
You stretched your body slowly, the warm sunlight filtering through the window, and you blinked a few times, waking up to find your man still sound asleep beside you. His peaceful face, framed by messy hair, made your heart skip a beat. You couldn’t resist caressing his soft cheeks, the warmth of your fingertips leaving a trail behind as you leaned down to plant a gentle kiss on his pouty lips.
His lips parted slightly in his sleep, a soft sigh escaping him, and for a moment, you just watched him, feeling content. But the headache from earlier started creeping back, dull and insistent. You carefully slipped out of bed, trying not to disturb him, though the lightheadedness made you feel a little unsteady as you stood.
You sighed and decided the best way to shake it off would be a bath. The steam from the hot water helped to soothe your head, and the calming solitude of the bathroom was a nice reprieve after the long day. After rinsing off, you wrapped yourself in a towel and stepped out, feeling a bit better but still a little off.
You grabbed your phone, fingers tapping quickly as you texted your father. You didn’t like feeling like this, but you trusted him to know what might help. As you sent the message, you felt your tension slowly ease, at least for now.
You took one last glance at Seungcheol before heading back to the room, your thoughts drifting as the sound of his steady breathing reassured you.

You grabbed the car keys and slipped out the front door, not wanting to disturb Seungcheol. As you descended the stairs, a thought crossed your mind: Ugh, everyone else is on their dates. With a sigh, you grabbed a pen and quickly scribbled a note for him to find later, your handwriting messy but legible: "Went out for a drive, be back soon. Don’t wait up. -YN"
You were feeling off, that light-headedness still clinging to you like a fog. Why the hell do I feel this way? you thought to yourself as you stepped into the car and drove off. The city passed by in a blur as you tried to push the headache from your mind, focusing instead on getting to the park.
After parking the car at the side of the road, you stepped out, letting the cool air fill your lungs. The sunset was painting the sky in warm oranges and pinks, the soft light reflecting off the trees and casting long shadows. Families strolled through the park, parents guiding their young children home. You watched them for a moment, your heart heavy. A tear slid down your cheek as you realized the life they had, one you’d never experienced, and would never be able to give to anyone else.
You wiped the tear quickly, annoyed at yourself.
"Yedong, highness..", Yedong stood with Lee Yooshik who pointed at you.
"Huh?" Yedong looked at the direction, noticing your reaction. "Call her Yn, not highness. She's your daughter too."
Yooshik raised an eyebrow, glancing between the two of you. "Why's she crying?"
