I've Been Possessed, But What If I Get Pregnant First? - Side Story 17
Side Story 17
Yuwon felt the strong stream pouring inside him and retrieved a fragment of memory deeply buried in his mind. The scattered pieces of memory gradually began to form into one.
That memory began from a time so long ago that it was impossible to guess when it was.
“Hyung…. H-how long…. Hng”
The member that had finished ejaculating slowly reduced in size. Yuwon caressed Taebeom’s cheek as memories became clearer one by one. Starting from that first night with hyung, even older memories passed like a panorama. And at the end of it was that very cold winter day when he first met him in front of grandmother’s store. The face of hyung, looking younger than now, who used to call me ‘kiddo’, overlapped with hyung’s current face.
Had he been carrying all of this alone all this time? While doing so, had he come back to find me, saved me, loved me, and made me happy? How could I be worth hyung rolling in hell while ensuring not even a hair on my head was harmed, trying so hard for me? I felt so sorry for hyung. And my heart ached so much.
“Hyung, have you… hic, have you always been by my side?”
The person who handed me an umbrella on the rainy day of the qualification exam, the one who occasionally stopped by the convenience store to leave warm drinks, the person who found my bag when I almost got robbed while walking.
All those people I considered benefactors in my life were the same person. Yuwon barely looked at Taebeom through his blurry vision clouded with tears. When he was erasing his own memories and escaping because living with all the memories was too hard, hyung had been watching over him.
“Hyung…. I love you. I love you so much.”
“Yuwon.”
“I’m so sorry. For making you lonely, for making you remember alone, I’m so sorry.”
“It’s okay. Because it was you, even the person who couldn’t remember me was Cha Yuwon, so it was all okay.”
Taebeom wiped Yuwon’s tears and kissed him. Although there was a salty taste in the mouth wet with tears, everything was sweet because it was Yuwon’s. Taebeom tightly embraced the small body trembling in his arms and whispered quietly.
“I love everything about you, Yuwon.”
Yuwon shed tears in his warm embrace and shared passionate love. They deeply explored each other’s bodies, fully feeling each other’s pheromones to the point where they wondered if a heat cycle and rut cycle might come.
Feeling Taebeom’s member swelling inside him once again, Yuwon tightly embraced his waist. Fully feeling Taebeom’s essence pouring into his deepest parts, Yuwon professed his love with a flushed face.
“I love you, Taebeom hyung.”
Tightly embracing hyung whom he loved so much, he swallowed hot tears and continued to whisper words of love.

“Oh, Ho-ppang!”
“Krahh!”
The white tiger that often appeared in my dreams when I was pregnant with Yubum appeared before me. The small white tiger, about the length of an arm when Ho-ppang was growing up diligently, had now grown quite large in size.
Glad to see Ho-ppang visiting in my dream, I lifted him up and kissed his soft fur. Rubbing his pink jelly-like belly and hugging Ho-ppang tightly, Yubum also made a purring sound as if he was happy.
“You didn’t even visit me in my dreams. I missed you.”
“Kyung?”
His lovely face tilting his head as if he didn’t understand was adorable. I put Ho-ppang, now only liftable with both hands, on my belly. Then Ho-ppang tapped my belly with his front paws and licked my lower abdomen. Does he want to play? As I twisted my body and burst into laughter from the ticklish feeling, Ho-ppang flopped down on top of me and rested his chin on my chest.
“Ah, so cute. Really cute.”
I spent a happy time patting his soft and squishy bottom like a bun and rubbing his soft cheeks. Then I seemed to close my eyes for a moment, but when I opened them, Ho-ppang was gone. Has the dream already ended? I wanted to see him a bit more. With a gloomy mood, I drooped the corners of my mouth and sighed, when I heard Ho-ppang’s cry from afar.
Startled by the plaintive crying sound of “keeng, keeng,” I jumped up and moved towards where the sound was coming from.
“Ho-ppang, are you here? Ho-ppang, Yubum!”
Finally, a small space appeared, and I saw Ho-ppang curled up inside. Seeing him sleeping soundly, I finally let out a sigh of relief and quickly picked him up.
“Huh…. What’s this cotton ball?”
As I held Ho-ppang in my arms, there was a cotton ball much smaller than Ho-ppang in the place where the child had been lying. As I was examining it wondering what it was, the cotton ball unraveled, and three small black beans caught my eye. It was an even smaller tiger. My heart felt strange, as if I had discovered Ho-ppang for the first time.
“Kyuuung…?”
My ears perked up at the softer and smaller sound that was very similar to Ho-ppang’s. Without realizing it, as I reached out my hand as if drawn to something, the small cotton ball licked my finger and started spinning in place. When I patted its head, it seemed to like it and became more active.
“Ho-ppang?”
Having woken up at some point, Ho-ppang scratched my belly with his front paws and whined as if asking to be put down. When I put him on the floor, he immediately ran to the small cotton ball and was busy playing and frolicking together. As I was watching this adorable and cute scene, suddenly the two small white tigers leaped towards me with all their might.
“Uh… uh, danger, oof!”
When I opened my eyes that I had squeezed shut, a different scene continued. The original Wuneondong house was gone, and a spacious house with pure white interiors caught my eye. Children’s toys were scattered here and there, and from inside the kitchen came the sound of happy laughter, “Kyareureu.”
I couldn’t tell if this was a continuation of the dream or reality. I just moved my feet as my body led me, and as I went inside, I saw hyung lifting up Yubum, who had white powder all over his face.
“Hyung?”
“Kwon Yubum, you’re in big trouble when Papa comes.”
“But, Yua said she wanted to do it, so Yubum is okay even if he gets scolded!”
The sight of the child pushing hyung away and struggling with his tiny hands was unfamiliar. It was definitely Yubum, but he was much bigger than I remembered. As I blinked in confusion, hyung turned his head, and Yubum, who had come down to the floor in that moment, moved quickly.
“Kwon Yubum.”
“Yua, let’s run away with oppa!”
Following Yubum’s movement, I turned my gaze and saw a small girl sitting on the floor, covered in white powder just like the child. Who… Ah.
If Yubum was the spitting image of hyung, the girl was the spitting image of me. Except for the pitch-black hair, everything from the slightly curly hair, light brown eyes, to the eyes, nose, and mouth. A smile unknowingly formed on my lips at the sight of the lovely child.
“Kwon Yubum, Kwon Yua!”
Hyung, who had been chasing the two children from behind, spotted me, and belatedly the children saw me too. The faces of the children, spitting images of me and hyung, were covered in sweet sugar powder and chocolate.
“Papa!”
“Papa!”
I spread my arms with a gentle smile towards the children running towards me with mischievous faces. A sweet scent spread from the bodies of the children as they nestled into my arms. Hyung burst into laughter, shaking his head gently with a face that said he had lost.
“It’s because of Papa that I’m letting you off.”
“I know!”
“Mhm!”
Hyung gave a small bird kiss on my lips and lifted the children in both arms. I happily raised the corners of my mouth at the sight of the lovely children bursting into laughter in hyung’s arms.

“Yuwon. You need to wake up.”
“Uh… huh…?”
As I opened my eyes to the hand shaking me, the two children who were spitting images of hyung were gone, and only my handsome husband’s face filled my vision. Hyung tapped my cheek and laughed, asking if I was still drunk. As I blinked in confusion, unable to answer, hyung handed me a glass of honey water.
“Your stomach might hurt. Drink it quickly.”
“Where are the children?”
“Children?”
My waist hurt as if it would break from the lovemaking that continued until dawn when the sun was rising. As I tried to get up from the bed and flopped down, hyung approached me with drooping eyes.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine. Uh…”
Dream? Was it a dream? Over hyung’s shoulder, who was embracing my waist with a satisfied smile, I could only see the photos from Ho-ppang’s first birthday party two years ago, our wedding photo, and a photo of the three of us on vacation. I clearly saw a small, soft girl like a cotton ball in my dream.
“Yua is…”
“Yua?”
Hyung tilted his head with a face that said he was hearing this for the first time. Seeing hyung’s reaction, it seemed it was just a dream after all. But the vivid image of a harmonious family still remained clear in my mind.
“Papa!”
With a sliding sound, the door connected to Yubum’s room opened, and Yubum appeared wearing yellow clothes. The child, with a face full of energy from the morning, ran over and tugged on hyung’s pants, demanding something.
