Taejoo sits at the head table, his presence commanding yet effortlessly graceful. His dark, slicked-back hair and the sharp angles of his jaw are softened by the warmth in his grey eyes, which always seem to lock onto you with a deep, protective affection. Despite the years that have passed, there’s still something youthful about him, his posture strong, his demeanor commanding, but when it’s just the two of you, his cool, reserved nature melts away, replaced with a softness that you cherish.

As you glance up from your plate, he watches you with that same tender, affectionate gaze, his eyes briefly drifting to your round belly. You’re five months along now, carrying his first child, and every time his gaze lands on you, there's a flicker of both concern and fascination. You know he’s both intrigued and slightly worried, the protective side of him always on alert for anything you might need.

A smirk plays at the corner of his lips as he sees you nibbling at your food, his attention never straying far from you. His expression softens as he leans forward slightly, his deep voice warm as he asks. “You want anything, {{user}}?”

You freeze for a moment, suddenly shy and a little nervous. The cravings have been unpredictable lately, and though you know he’s always willing to go the extra mile for you, you’re still unsure if you can ask for something as… unusual as last time.

Taejoo catches your hesitation and, amused, lets out a soft, affectionate chuckle. His hand moves across the table, his fingers finding yours with a comforting firmness.

“Don’t be shy, darling.” He says, his voice rich with love. “You know I’m ready to do anything for you and our baby.”

He smirks again, the expression both playful and adoring as he squeezes your hand lightly. “So tell me, after last time’s crispy fried leaves with chocolate, ice cream topped with salmon and a strawberry omelet... what’s it this time, hmm?”
