Chapter 320: 734
[Chapter 188]
[Unforgettable (2)]
A few days before the wedding.
Han Seo-hyeon called Jung Ha-yang and Lee Yu-jeong to have a bonding time.
Of course, it was somewhat different from typical bonding.
To be more precise─
"─I'll congratulate you on getting married in advance. But we're going to become like one family, so shouldn't we make sure there are no issues that make us blush at each other later for the family to be harmonious? Eun-ha won't have to suffer because of us either."
The women who will become No Eun-ha's wives in the future.
It could be called their gathering.
Among them, Han Seo-hyeon, who married Eun-ha first, naturally took on the role of eldest sister.
"I agree. I think there's nothing good that can come from us fighting."
"But is it okay for me to be included here? I'm only engaged to Eun-ha, not married yet..."
"Then Yu-jeong, are you thinking of being at odds with us? And don't you think you should speak more casually now?"
"I'm more comfortable speaking this way..."
"Alright, do as you please. But keep in mind that if you lower yourself like that, you'll be the one at a disadvantage. Becoming Eun-ha's family means treating each other as equals, but if you keep acting like that, you might only be seen as a concubine."
"...I'll try to be more casual."
Before becoming No Eun-ha's wives.
Originally, the three of them got along well.
So they didn't need to engage in power struggles that didn't suit them.
The issue of how to address each other was smoothly decided.
It was also decided that none of the women marrying No Eun-ha would be treated as concubines, but as official wives.
Accordingly, they agreed to treat each other closely like sisters.
"─So absolutely don't think about getting ahead of others or monopolizing Eun-ha. You all know that will only lead to trouble."
"Yeah, I understand."
"Yeah, I'll do that."
Eun-ha wasn't there.
And Jung Ha-yang's wedding was approaching.
Also, as a bonding ritual for those who would be in the same boat in the future.
On this day, they had quite candid conversations they hadn't had before.
"You should be careful that day. He's really like an animal. It might be better to warm up your body beforehand or do some exercise."
""...""
Jung Ha-yang listened intently.
Lee Yu-jeong's face turned red.
Regardless, Han Seo-hyeon advised them while telling stories from her honeymoon.
"Unnie, that... Does it really... hurt a lot?"
"I was bedridden the next day and had to cancel all the plans for that day."
Lee Yu-jeong asked cautiously.
Han Seo-hyeon chuckled.
Lee Yu-jeong stammered, seemingly unable to imagine it.
On the other hand, Jung Ha-yang was relaxed.
"Thanks for the advice, unnie. I'll enjoy the trip."
"Don't hurt yourself and come back healthy. Don't almost die like me from doing everything Eun-ha says."
She couldn't tell Han Seo-hyeon, but Jung Ha-yang knew about such things too.
There was a reason Eun-ha sometimes called her "blackie" or "reddie".
☆
The first night of Eun-ha and Jung Ha-yang's wedding.
Eun-ha, who had finished showering, dried his wet hair with a towel.
The fire chicken is with Seo-hyeon...
Tonight it's really just Ha-yang and me.
Thinking about what would happen next.
He couldn't help but smile.
Eventually, after thoroughly drying himself, Eun-ha left the bathroom.
Jung Ha-yang was lying on the bed wearing a white robe.
"You're here?"
"Why are you already lying down to sleep? Well, today was tiring. Should I turn off the lights then?"
"You really..."
Without even tying her pink ribbon.
Jung Ha-yang had her hair down.
Eun-ha sat down next to her, treating it naturally.
When he joked around.
Jung Ha-yang pouted her lips.
Soon, Eun-ha climbed onto the bed and lay down next to her.
Then Jung Ha-yang shifted her body and rested her head on Eun-ha's chest.
"What is it?"
"Nothing. It just feels real that we're married now."
Jung Ha-yang staring intently at Eun-ha.
Eun-ha put his hand on her waist.
She pressed her body even closer.
Subtly, she hooked her leg over his.
That leg slowly rises.
""...""
A gaze as if she would devour him.
Jung Ha-yang licks her lips.
Her tongue that comes out of her lips wriggles, catching Eun-ha's attention.
"Should I... turn off the lights?"
"Yeah, turn them off."
Jung Ha-yang playfully teases.
At first, her touches were fleeting, but soon they become bolder.
Eun-ha tensed up at her touches, stiffening his spine.
This girl really...
Her emotions can be felt viscously.
Eun-ha understood to some extent.
It had been a year since Eun-ha married Han Seo-hyeon.
During that time, Eun-ha and Ha-yang had implicitly restrained their relationship.
It was for Han Seo-hyeon's newlywed life.
So it wouldn't be strange at all if the emotions that had been suppressed until now exploded.
Of course, the situation was different for Eun-ha.
Anyway, Jung Ha-yang now lay completely on top of Eun-ha's body and whispered.
"─Do you like me?"
"Yeah, I like you."
"How much do you like me?"
"More than you think."
"Then what are you going to do now?"
"What you're thinking."
"What am I thinking?"
"I'll show you directly."
"Yeah, do a lot."
Reddie starts the engine.
Eun-ha moved his body too.
In the end, with both of them losing their reason.
A long, long, long night passes.
☆
They had fought a fierce battle.
That's exactly how it felt.
Yet when he opened his eyes in the morning, the scene was far from a brutal battlefield.
Jung Ha-yang was sound asleep.
To think such a small girl showed that side last night...
Around 150 cm.
She was as short as Ariel among the clan members.
Nevertheless, she had shown an amazing─
"─Mmm..."
"Are you awake?"
"Hehe."
Eun-ha snapped out of his thoughts.
She had opened her eyes drowsily.
Then she almost reflexively buried her face in Eun-ha's chest.
She feels Eun-ha's body heat.
Eun-ha gently stroked Jung Ha-yang's back as she fell asleep again.
By the way, it's now the 17th year of Seonryeok.
I should be on guard this year.
Since I don't know how things will turn out.
I should probably sleep more.
In fact, he hadn't slept much.
Still, he sank into thought with a drowsy mind.
The 17th year of Seonryeok.
In his previous life, during this time, it was revealed to the world that Ha Baek-ryeon was the owner of the <White Silver> gift, and at the same time─
─Sindorim half-destroys Yeongdeungpo.
<Myeongwang> Sindorim.
He had caused a massive disaster by joining forces with the followers of the Mana Religion.
It was a year that required special caution.
I should ask Twenty-five when I get back. What happened with the investigation I asked for on Sindorim before...
Sindorim was a man-made disaster.
This means the disaster could potentially be prevented depending on the situation.
That's why Eun-ha hoped the situation would flow positively.
Ah, I'm sleepy...
Meanwhile, drowsiness washed over him.
His eyes slowly closed.
He should sleep a little more and wake up late in the afternoon.
Then he should think about what to do today while having brunch with Ha-yang.
Now Eun-ha was about to let go of his consciousness and surrender to deep sleep.
Right at that moment─
"─..."
"Mmm..."
Jung Ha-yang's hand moved.
Her hand that was on Eun-ha's chest moved downward with great familiarity.
"Hehe, our little one..."
"..."
Soon, Jung Ha-yang's hand stopped.
As if hugging a doll while sleeping.
She kneaded it.
Eun-ha stiffened.
"Hey, Ha-yang..."
"...Hm?"
I can't sleep because it's distracting.
Eun-ha woke Jung Ha-yang up.
She slowly opened her eyes.
She still seemed to be half-asleep.
Her eyes couldn't distinguish between dream and reality.
She smiled broadly at Eun-ha almost automatically.
"Ha-yang, your hand..."
"...Do you want to do it again?"
"..."
"Okay, I'm fine with that."
Squirm squirm.
Jung Ha-yang wriggles her body.
She moves in her sleep.
Eun-ha finally had to give up.
I guess I've slept enough.
It seemed the night wasn't over yet.
The night was really long.
☆
They stayed at the hotel for almost 3 days.
Eun-ha clearly remembered what a hotel vacation was like this time.
This Ha-yang girl really...
There was a lot he wanted to say.
But Eun-ha decided to hold his tongue.
And he also felt uneasy.
Was it only Jung Ha-yang who enjoyed it?
Eun-ha was the same.
It was by no means a situation where one could say who went overboard.
"Is this where grandmother and Parang oppa lived?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Anyway, after resting well for 3 days.
Eun-ha took Ha-yang to visit his grandmother's house in Incheon.
Although it was a house that hadn't been used for a long time.
The scenery was very clean.
This was because his father had people regularly manage his grandmother's house.
"I wish we could have shown grandmother that we're getting married..."
"It can't be helped."
While looking around the house.
Jung Ha-yang expressed regret.
Although she didn't have as many stories intertwined with grandmother as Eun-ha.
She also had some memories involving grandmother.
Especially since grandmother knew her feelings and often gave her advice even before she started dating Eun-ha.
After she started dating Eun-ha, grandmother would joke about wanting to see grandchildren soon.
"Let's go now."
"Okay."
The two looked around for a long time.
Then they paid their respects to grandmother's memorial photo and turned around.
Eun-ha held Jung Ha-yang's hand to help her put on her shoes comfortably.
"─We'll be going now. We'll visit again when we have time."
Eventually, they left grandmother's house.
Eun-ha looked back at grandmother's house and greeted it again.
Wanting to engrave it clearly in his memory.
He stared at the house for a long time in that state.
For Eun-ha, grandmother's house was a place filled with many memories.
In his previous life, he had lived here.
So... it feels unfamiliar yet very familiar.
A very nostalgic scenery.
Now this place was no longer his home.
Nevertheless, if someone told him to think of his heart's hometown, grandmother's house would probably come to mind first.
"Sorry, did I make you wait too long?"
"No. I know that Eun-ha... honey loved grandmother very much. Grandparents in heaven will probably be happy we came today too."
"Yeah... I hope so."
The word "honey".
It tickled Eun-ha tremendously.
But it wasn't an unpleasant resonance.
Eun-ha chuckled.
Then he held Jung Ha-yang's hand.
"Oh right, come to think of it."
We should go somewhere else now.
Eun-ha was about to take her back to the car waiting near the house.
At that moment, Jung Ha-yang spoke while walking along with Eun-ha's hand.
"─A long time ago, grandmother said something to me."
"What did she say?"
"That she wanted to see our grandchild."
"Ah, that..."
"When we come next time, it would be nice to come with kids then. Right?"
"You don't mean clan members by 'kids', right?"
"Tch, of course not. What other kids would it be? Kids born between you and me. Right?"
Jung Ha-yang said proudly.
Then she gently stroked her belly with her hand.
Eun-ha's gaze reflexively turned to her belly too.
A child that will be born between Ha-yang and me...
It still doesn't feel real.
I just turned 22 too.
Marriage doesn't feel real yet, so the thought of having a child doesn't really sink in.
On the other hand, Jung Ha-yang seemed to look forward to such a future as soon as possible.
Of course, it would be a distant future.
We have a lot to do. We're still young and active, so we don't really have time to have children...
The Second Uijeongbu Recapture Operation was waiting in a few years too.
Above all, there was Guma's terror attack.
So thinking about the disasters that would occur in the future, Eun-ha didn't want to have children if possible.
He didn't know what it would mean to have a child resembling himself.
At least, he didn't want a child born between him and Jung Ha-yang to live in a harsh world.
"Do you want to have one soon, Ha-yang?"
"Yeah, I want one so much! Since they'll look just like us, they'll be really cute."
"I wonder about that..."
"Hmph, what's with that reaction? Don't you think the kids will be cute?"
"They'd be cute if they take after you."
"They'll be cute even if they take after you."
It's not like Eun-ha was being stubborn about using contraception.
He was just being as careful as possible.
Jung Ha-yang was the same.
Even though she had such wishes, she knew now wasn't the time to have children.
So for now, she was satisfied with imagining it.
"I want to have at least one son and one daughter. It's too lonely being an only child. Wouldn't it be great to have a son who looks like me and a daughter who looks like you?"
"Well... A son who looks like you wouldn't be too bad, but a daughter who looks like me might... Won't she resent me when she grows up? How about just having a son and daughter who look like you?"
"Are you saying I should get pregnant alone? How can I do it without you?"
Puff.
Jung Ha-yang puffs out her cheeks.
Eun-ha smiled bitterly and poked Jung Ha-yang's cheeks.
Her cheeks didn't deflate.
"I'm saying I hope they take after you even if they come from between us. Then, I think I could like them too."
"Hmph, how can that be? Why don't you have confidence in this aspect? Do you dislike the idea of kids resembling you? Are you scared?"
"Yeah, I'm scared."
"..."
"I know what kind of person I am... If kids who resemble me are born, I feel like I'd feel sorry for them. And above all..."
"Tell me."
"I know how much trouble I cause... Imagine if a kid who resembles me is born and causes trouble for their parents."
"Ah, that's..."
"I feel like I'd grow old and die cleaning up the messes they cause every day."
To ease Jung Ha-yang's worries.
He mixed in a joke at the end.
She seemed to believe it strangely.
Meanwhile─
"─But I still want to see. I want to give birth to a child who looks just like you, Eun-ha."
"..."
"I like you this much, Eun-ha. So if a child who resembles you is born, I think I could pour out as much love to that child as I love you."
"..."
"And if that child has even a small part that resembles me... Then wouldn't you come to like that child too?"
"...Yeah, I guess so."
She nuzzles her face into Eun-ha's chest.
He flinched at her words.
Then he wrapped one arm around her.
"─If that's the case, I think I could come to like them too."
He lost to Jung Ha-yang.
Eun-ha agreed with her words.
And so, 5 happy days passed.
