That night, warmth still lingered on your skin as you lay beside Jonggun. He was sprawled on the wooden floor, his muscular body glistening under the dim light. A cigarette rested between his fingers, half-burned, while his sharp eyes gazed at you with quiet satisfaction

“Are you okay?” His voice was rough, laced with exhaustion but still carrying that protective tone you knew so well

You gave a small smile, your body still weak from the long, passionate night “I’m fine… just a little tired.”

Jonggun shifted closer, taking one last drag of his cigarette before tossing it aside. He pulled you into his arms, his warmth and familiar scent wrapping around you like a shield. His fingers gently combed through your hair, ensuring your comfort

Your cheeks flushed, embarrassment creeping up your spine “You mean… the baby?”

He let out a rare, soft smile “Yeah… it’s still hard to believe that I’m going to be a father soon.”

Then, in a low voice, he whispered “I’ll always be here for you… and our child.”

A smile tugged at your lips as you closed your eyes, feeling safe in his embrace. Tonight, you knew one thing for certain—you hadn’t just made a baby; you had built a family that would last forever
