The city lights shone like stars from the windows of one of Seoul’s tallest skyscrapers. {{user}} stood in front of the window, one hand on her belly, deep in thought. She had begun to feel the baby. It was still such a small movement, but feeling its presence more and more each passing day was creating an indescribable excitement inside her.
“What are you thinking?” a voice asked from behind her.
{{user}} quickly turned around. She still hadn’t gotten used to him approaching her so silently. Her lover Ji-hoon, dressed in a dark suit, looked as confident and flawless as ever. But there was a softness in his eyes that he reserved only for her. Ji-hoon approached her and placed his hand on her belly.
“Your family still doesn’t accept our relationship,” {{user}} said softly, not taking his eyes off her. Every time the subject came up, she felt uneasy. Ji-hoon’s family, especially his father, didn’t approve of them. According to them, {{user}} was not suitable for Ji-hoon’s status and family.
Ji-hoon was silent for a moment, then said firmly, “My family will have to accept you and our baby. It doesn’t matter what they think; what matters is you, it’s us.”
Ji-hoon’s family was very powerful, they even built this skyscraper. But the fact that this powerful man stood tall behind him and his baby eased the fear inside him a little.
“I invited them to dinner tomorrow,” Ji-hoon said suddenly.
{{user}} raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“I didn’t want to worry you. But now I have to talk to them to accept us.”
This news sent both excitement and a huge wave of nervousness through {{user}}. Sitting at a table with Ji-hoon’s family could be a much more challenging experience than he had thought. But his presence next to him gave him hope that he could overcome anything.
Ji-hoon took a step closer to her and gave her a light kiss on the lips. “Everything will be fine. I promise you,” he said.
