6, Silver Lining, YoungSang

“that was impressive”

Young-Do looked up to see Hyo-Shin staring at the sleeping Eun-Sang and he had to smile. “I not joking. You delivered your own son, Young-Do. Not many men could do that.”

“You helped,” he had to mutter. Hyo-Shin must’ve raided his closest and stolen a set of his clean exercise clothes. Young-Do hoped he threw the ruined suit away. No one told him there would be so much blood. “Thank you, hyung.” His throat nearly closed over the word. It felt like it had been too long since he’d said it.

“It was the least I could do.” Their talking must’ve woken up his wife, because Eun-Sang stirred and looked panicked for a moment. Hyo-Shin took Jung-Woo from him so he could go to her side and calm her. 

“Hey,” he said softly. “Everything is okay. We’re at home, the doctor says you’re doing great, and Jung-Woo just fell asleep.”

Eun-Sang relaxed but held onto his hand tightly. “It felt like a dream. Did Hyo-Shin really sing to me to help with the contractions?”

Young-Do smiled and then nodded over at their...friend. “He did. Do you want me to get a nurse? I’m paying three of them to stay until you feel better. I’ve already called the nanny we agreed on. She’ll be here tomorrow. So will your mother.”

Eun-Sang smiled at Hyo-Shin and just looked tired. “We don’t need three nurses.”

“I need three nurses,” he muttered as she fell back asleep.

6, Playing Chicken, YoungSang

“that was impressive”

It was cold and a little bit cruel. Eun-Sang let her disgust for Kim Tan show after the noble assembly meeting. She did her best not to get caught alone with him but had failed today. Her former fiancé always made her stomach turn.

“You made them forget what a huge slut you are. I guess your peasant trash can’t complain about your history either. How did you get them not to talk about it?”

Eun-Sang rolled her eyes. She had no interest in where this conversation was going. She wanted to get out of her hanbok and into her car. The sooner she did that, the sooner she could see Young-Do. 

But Tan always rubbed her the wrong way and she had to brag.

“I was always going to break our engagement. I just needed to make sure the best women weren’t available for you to slither after. Rachel, Bo-Na, Ji-Sun, and Ye-Sol were all on your list. They’re all married or engaged now.” 

She wasn’t surprised that he raised a hand to hit her. It wouldn’t be the first time he lost his temper. She knew the rumors. Unfortunately, her security detail wasn’t close enough to stop him, and she wasn’t going to be able to scream in time.

So, she was a bit shocked when Tan suddenly wasn’t in front of her anyway. There was a crack, a shout of pain, and he just wasn’t there. In his place was Young-Do. He grinned down at her and kissed her gaping lips.

“What are you doing here?”

“You look cute. I didn’t realize you had to wear hanbok for official meetings.”

“Rachel made it for me.” There was a stir happening around them but she just tugged him down to kiss her. “You might be stuck here tonight.”

FBND, Enrique and Dok Mi, 76

ninja

The house is too quiet when Dok-Mi gets home. She doesn’t worry. The toddlers are good for Enrique. They wear each other out and evenings are relaxing. But the still nature of her home worries her just a little.

She puts away the groceries and sets out the noodles she picked up for dinner when she catches a small movement crawling towards her. She looks past Luna and sees Enrique hiding, poorly, behind a corner. He winks at her just as Estrella runs at her screaming.

Dok-Mi laughs as she catches her daughter and lifts her up into her arms.

A Hot Mess, Young Do and Eun Sang, 76

ninja

“Stay still,” Young-Do murmurs in her ear one morning while they attempt to sleep in. “We’re being stalked.”

“Who is winning?” She tries not to make any sound as she listens to the rustling coming from their bedroom door. She cuddles close to her husband. He pulls her hips against his and wraps his arms around her. She knows it is to protect her neck from puppy teeth.

“Ji-Won will pounce first. She’s a puppy right now. Jung-Woo is working up to it.”

“We could’ve been coupling, you know.” Eun-Sang wiggles her hips just as Ji-Won jumps onto the bed.

Pictures, Young Do and Eun Sang, 76

ninja

She gets an earlier flight by three days and starts her plan to ambush her husband. It is easy for Bo-Na to steal Jung-Woo from Young-Do for a night, if only because Jung-Woo loves his auntie so much. Eun-Sang buys flowers, orders a special dinner from the restaurant, and when her husband comes home from work, his jaw drops at the lingerie she’s wearing.

Eun-Sang walks up to him, pulls him into a passionate kiss, and enjoys the way he lifts her up without too many words before taking her to their bedroom.

“Surprise,” she says afterwards and he laughs.

Pinocchio, Dal Po and In Ha, 76

ninja

It takes a lot of work for this surprise. He can tell In-Ha struggles overseas even though they talk every day. Their girls miss her but he can’t manage to schedule them on this trip. Besides, he and In-Ha need some time alone.

Her smile is dazzling when she realizes he’s beside her and she throws herself into his arms for a very passionate kiss. Her team and American coworkers laugh when she introduces him.

“How are you here?”

He wipes away the tears on her cheeks. “Magic.”

A Hot Mess, Young Do and Eun Sang, 54

blanket

His wolf is barely mollified by coupling with Eun-Sang because she’s cranky with her mother. He is of more than two minds when it comes to Park Hee-Nam. They want his approval, him and his wolf, more than Eun-Sang, but she is determined not to give it.

He sighs and swings his legs over the side of the bed while he looks for his pants. “Where are you going?”

“Nowhere. Boyfriends sleeping with their girlfriends in their mother’s houses wear pants to bed.”

She laughs and pulls him down for a kiss. “With how you flaunt, I don’t believe you.”

Holiday Meets Cute, Young Do and Eun Sang, 76

ninja

Eun-Sang worries it is an internal competition with Young-Do sometimes. He constantly wants to do kind things for her, thoughtful things, normal boyfriend things, but hates that she might compare him to some client.

He makes her little lunches and puts sweet notes in them during her internship. She knows he does it himself because Rachel complains about his cooking lessons eating up his babysitting time with Hye-Rim.

Not to be outdone, Eun-Sang wakes up early one morning and makes Young-Do lunch. She places it beside his briefcase and grins at his pleased blush from the hallway.
