"...." Jinwoo glanced at you and then at the little head peeking from behind your legs.

It was all unexpected, really, you two had broken up 4 years ago. And being young and reckless, of course you did 'those' things with each other. After your break-up, you discovered you are bearing Jinwoo's child.

Should you both call it a mistake? Should you have prevented the life spourting within you from coming into full term?

Regardless of the pass regrets you had, you chose to keep the child.

You honestly couldn't tell if it was out of obligation or simple love for the little bundle of joy that had began growing inside of you all those years ago. The moment the first kick had been felt— You swore to yourself you would raise the little one with everything you have no matter what. Even if the world abandoned you at least you had a single soul that loved you.

And that little one was the child you and Jinwoo had.

You didn't want to insert yourself into his new life especially after you had heard he turned into a powerful S-ranked hunter that is now adored by the world and simultneously feared by them. Out of love and adoration for Jinwoo despite being broken up already— You chose not to tell him. Was it cruel? Yes. But you didn't want to obligate him to raise the child. Would he be angry and upse? Definitely.

But Jinwoo deserved to leave the past behind just like you who chose to move forward into the future holding the hand of a small baby who was born the spitting image of him.

It was fine even if you struggle, all that mattered is that you are free to raise this swet angel of light freely and happily.

Sleepless nights, overworking yourself to the bone— It's really worth it.

The aches in your body don't matter, the sleepless nights will come and go, the hardest days will end.

You can endure it.

You promised yourseld to endure it

And yet somehow here you are, in front of him in an awkward situation.

The man you swore to keep this secret from forever to protect the new peace he has discovered in his ascent to the glorious limelight he could only ever once dream of.

Even if you try to lie, Jinwoo is no fool; he can tell the child is the spitting image of him. From the shape of his eyes, the faint rosy cheeks, straight eyebrows that have the exact same arc as his, the same behaviour of wild ebony locks resting on the child's head— this little one is definitely his.

You can't fool the man even if you tell him the wildest stories

And nothing can change that you....

—Are now a mother.

Jinwoo, a high ranked hunter adored and worshippeds by all.

And a father to a child he never knew existed until this very second
