Entering the bathroom filled with the fragrant scent of bath essence, Yigyeom looked at Kwon Taejung undressing him, and he absentmindedly fidgeted with his hands. It wasn’t the first time he undressed, having seen and undressed countless times before, and they had been undressed together many times, yet it still felt embarrassing to undress in front of Kwon Taejung.
“I want to go in with you, Chief.”
“You want to go in together?”
“Yes.”
Kwon Taejung made a moaning sound as he looked at Yigyeom, who nodded innocently. He pressed his lips deeply onto his cheek, a worried look in his eyes, as if afraid he might not want to go in together.
“We’ll go in together. I won’t let you be alone anywhere. Even when we leave the living room, go with me.”
Smiling at Kwon Taejung’s possessive words, Yigyeom entered the warm water and sat against Kwon Taejung’s chest, leaning on his back. He enjoyed the warmth of the water and the firmness of Kwon Taejung’s arms wrapping around him, allowing him to relax.
“Not cold?”
“No… It’s not cold at all, it’s warm.”
“That’s a relief. Oh, you shouldn’t have pushed yourself yesterday. It was tough, not sleeping well and not eating properly.”
Listening to the voice filled with concern, Yigyeom turned his head slightly and met Kwon Taejung’s face descending toward him. As their eyes locked, his focus blurred. Closing his eyes, their lips met, and soon, their tongues intertwined. Yigyeom withdrew his hand from the water and gently touched Kwon Taejung’s cheek and ear.
“Ah…”
“Ha…”
“…It feels so good.”
“I feel the same. I love hearing that you love me, having a baby, and imprinting. So many good things.”
Kwon Taejung, with his hand gently covering Yigyeom’s flat stomach, kissed his cheeks, ears, and neck, making soft kissing sounds.
“Our baby is in here. I wonder how it looks. I hope it resembles you, our Yigyeom. It would be really cute, don’t you think? Just thinking about it makes me crazy with cuteness.”
Listening to Kwon Taejung’s enthusiastic voice, Yigyeom chuckled softly. He was even more delighted by Kwon Taejung’s excitement and love. He rested his head on his shoulder, fully leaning into his embrace, while his hands gently caressed his belly.
“Now that we’ve imprinted, we can’t be apart forever. I can’t live without you, Yigyeom. So keep loving me. Got it?”
Nodding, Yigyeom turned his body to hug Kwon Taejung, tangling their bodies completely. With a genuine smile, Kwon Taejung responded by giving kisses all over Yigyeom’s cheeks, ears, and neck.
With Kwon Taejung’s words of affection, Yigyeom, who was embracing him, slightly loosened his arms and looked into his eyes. The thought of spending his entire life with Kwon Taejung made him so happy that his heart raced.

“Chief…”
“Yeah, Chief is over here.”
Approaching as if to embrace, Kwon Taejung pressed his face against Yigyeom’s, and only then did he smile. Kwon Taejung patted his chest as if comforting him, as if trying to quickly soothe him.
“Let’s take a nap together. Sleep well, wake up, and have a delicious dinner again.”
“Yes…”
The end of his words faded, and Kwon Taejung, who kissed his fuzzy cheek, closed his eyes with a warmth that felt snug.
Embracing Yigyeom in his arms, he welcomed the return of Yigyeom that seemed never-ending after the precious three months.
* * *
Although Yigyeom insisted he was fine, Kwon Taejung protected him closely for two weeks. He went with him to the cafe, met with the owner, and together they suggested that Yigyeom should quit his job due to his health issues. Kwon Taejung provided support, even when he was at home and not working, he never left Yigyeom’s side.
When he wanted to drink water and got up from bed, he rushed to get water and fed him. When he bathed, he always held his arm to prevent slipping and carefully washed him.
Thanks to this, the pale face that lacked color and seemed unwell started to regain a healthy flush. As they descended the hospital parking lot, Kwon Taejung firmly supported Yigyeom’s waist, embracing him.
Of course, when entering the office of Chief Cho Hyunjoon, he was cautious, protecting Yigyeom as if afraid he might get hurt. Cho Hyunjoon, who was raising his hand to greet them warmly, immediately took off the glasses he was wearing as if trying to see the unseen, and pressed his aching temples with his hand.
“Hello, Doctor…”
“Yes, hello. Your face looks better than when I last saw you. Have you had any difficulties in the past two weeks?”
“Everything else is fine, but… smelling food has become really difficult since yesterday.”
“It’s a symptom of nausea. I’ll prescribe an anti-nausea medication for you. If you take it, you’ll definitely feel better.”
“Yes…”
“Shall we go to the ultrasound room then?”
Watching Kwon Taejung, who was overly protective, with a smile, Cho Hyunjoon guided them into the ultrasound room, where he had Yigyeom lie down and sat next to him.
“Shall we see how much it’s grown in the past two weeks? Have you decided on a nickname, by the way?”
“…A nickname?”
“Yes. Nowadays, many people give a name to the baby in the womb. Ttun-ttun, Bokdeong-i, Lucky… Or maybe something that represents both of you and your memories?”
“Ah… I haven’t decided yet.”
“Ah, guardian, what have you been doing for the past two weeks without even doing that?”
Cho Hyunjoon, who teased Kwon Taejung standing beside him, waved his hand roughly as if apologizing for the scrutinizing gaze from Kwon Taejung. Then, he applied gel to Yigyeom’s still-flat belly and placed the ultrasound scanner.
“Hey, this is the baby’s home. Can you see that it’s grown since last time?”
“Oh… Yes. He has really grown since last time…”
“Also, do you see the sparkling thing in here? That sparkling thing is the baby. He’s about 0.5 cm now.”
“Wow… I didn’t see him before…”
“Yes, in just two weeks, he’s already this big. I’ll let you hear the heartbeat.”
Yigyeom, who couldn’t take his eyes off the small sparkle on the screen, quickly looked at Kwon Taejung when he heard the faint sound of thumping in the ultrasound room. Kwon Taejung also tilted his head, listening attentively to the sound.
“It’s the baby’s heartbeat. It’s still too small, so the sound is also small. When you come next time, the baby will be bigger, and you’ll be able to hear a stronger heartbeat. Rest well, eat well, and be careful with your body.”
Yigyeom couldn’t say anything, just staring at the screen and then looking at Kwon Taejung again. Kwon Taejung also lowered his head after listening to the thumping sound, gently brushing his face against Yigyeom’s cheek.
“Oh, Yigyeom, what should we do? The baby’s heartbeat is already so cute, just like you.”
“The sound is really, really small… The baby is really, really small too…”
“It will get bigger when you come next time. Let’s come together every time.”
Nodding and smiling, Yigyeom, who heard a rustling sound next to him, realized that it was the ultrasound room and that Chief Cho Hyunjoon was here. He quickly sat up.
“You can do more.”
“Hey, don’t laugh like that.”
“Guardian. You shouldn’t use such harsh words. Please use polite and kind words for the baby’s sake.”
Getting up from his seat and pretending to smile kindly, Cho Hyunjoon gestured to Yigyeom to go back to his office. Yigyeom looked at Kwon Taejung, who was wiping off the gel on his belly, and then got off the bed and headed back to the office.
“We’ll give you the ultrasound photos when you leave, and we’ll send you the video as well, so you can watch it comfortably. And as I mentioned earlier, the nausea may worsen in the future, so I’ll prescribe medication to help you. Come back in two weeks. If you feel anything strange or have any concerns before then, please contact us immediately.”
“Yes…”
“Currently, you’re in the sixth week, and the baby is growing well according to that week, so don’t worry. Um, yes. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.”
After hesitating for a moment at Cho Hyunjoon’s words, Yigyeom glanced at Kwon Taejung once and then turned his gaze back to Cho Hyunjoon. Then, he opened his mouth cautiously.
“Um… Is it okay to go for a simple outing?”
“Yes, of course. As long as you don’t overdo it, it’s fine. Well, everyone has a different threshold for what’s considered overdoing it, right? So, just be active within a limit that won’t strain you, Yeon Yigyeom.”
“Ah… Yes. I understand. I’ll be careful.”
“Activity is important, but it’s equally important not to stress yourself. If you pay attention to that, there shouldn’t be any problems with the baby’s health. Please go home with peace of mind.”
“Yes… Thank you.”
Yigyeom, who bowed politely, looked at Kwon Taejung again. Kwon Taejung, trying to contain his heart that was melting at Yigyeom’s cute expression, slowly brushed his hair with a gentle touch whenever he heard something or saw something that he seemed to want to share with him.
“Thank you. I’ll continue to rely on you.”
“What’s that? Honestly, I’m still a bit dazed. I never imagined that Kwon Taejung would be the first to become a dad.”
“Mocking my poor imagination. Let’s see each other next time.”
As soon as he shifted his gaze away from Cho Hyunjoon, Kwon Taejung, whose expression changed warmly, embraced Yigyeom with one arm and stood up slowly. Then, he smoothly exited the Chief’s office.
