Kingdom of Korea, a few months later.

Tae Eul who was sleeping felt her chest heavy as if it was being crushed by something. When she opened one her eye, she found her son lying face down in front of her, baring toothless gums.

"Good morning, my prince," Tae Eul hugged the tiny body against her chest.

"Good morning, my Queen, and happy birthday ..."

Tae Eul turned her head, just realized that her husband was sitting beside the bed with a birthday cake plus a candle in his hands.

"Oh my god, I forgot that it's my birthday today," Tae Eul chuckled, getting up from her bed with Geon on her lap. She blew out the candles after making a wish that she, her husband and her son would be granted happiness, health and a long life. Not to forget, she also prayed for her father with the same hope.

Gon put the cake on the table, "Get ready, your schedule today is quite busy. You have to receive birthday greetings from all Korean people, then attend a luncheon with family and officials. And continue with a private dinner tonight, at your father's house."

Tae Eul smiled emotionally, "You've prepared a lot for me, thank you, Yeobo."

"If you want to thank me so much ..." Gon's body tightly against Tae Eul, "tonight Geon will sleep with the nanny. You ..." Gon's naughty hand touched Tae Eul's thigh, "... serve me well, Okay?"

Tae Eul smacked Gon's hand shyly, "Don't mess around, there's a kid here!"

"Ah, he still doesn't understand," Gon rubbed his sharp nose against Tae Eul's neck.

"Stop it ..." Tae Eul giggled, pushing Gon away.

Suddenly Gon grabs Geon from Tae Eul's lap, then hands him over to the nanny to give him breakfast porridge.

"What do you want to do?" Asked Tae Eul seeing Gon began to take off his pajamas quickly.

"I can't wait until evening."

Tae Eul screamed when Gon, who was naked, pounced on her. He tugged on Tae Eul's pajamas impatiently until the buttons flew.

"I could be late. You said, my schedule is busy today," said Tae Eul, as if she refused even though her hands pulled Gon's head to her face.

"Delayed for half an hour is fine," whispered Gon who had already pulled down Tae Eul's pants.

Seo Kyung walked over to Hyeon Min who was waiting for him in front of Haeseong's bookstore.

"Why every time I have a day off, you always call me out? Do you want to give me another speeding ticket?"

"I want to give you a present. Happy birthday."

Seo Kyung is stunned for a moment, then she remembers that today is Jeong Tae Eul's birthday, which means her birthday too, because they are 'twins'.

"How do you know, even though I haven't changed my date of birth on my ID card."

"Of course I know, everyone wishes the Queen a happy birthday."

"But no one said it for me."

"Me, just now."

Seo Kyung smiled happily, "Thank you."

Seeing the girl's smile, Hyeon Min awkwardly turned his head away to calm his pounding heart.

"Where's my present?"

"Just choose for yourself, as usual."

Seo Kyung went into the bookstore.
