I've Been Possessed, But What If I Get Pregnant First? - Side Story 6

Side Story 6

We were finally able to return home after being tormented by my hyung until the shadows grew long. My mouth went dry at the thought of having left Yubum with grandmother and father for hours while we had relations in a hotel. As I fidgeted nervously, not knowing what to do, he stroked my head with a smile.

“It’s our honeymoon, what’s wrong with that? That’s why they gave us time.”

“Still, what should we do about this?”

Despite showering, the thick scent of our pheromones wouldn’t wash away. I should have known when my hyung started nibbling and biting my neck. Unlike me, who was embarrassed, my hyung drove with a very pleased expression.

“We’re… back…”

As I entered the house cautiously, grandmother and father, who were watching Yubum in the living room, turned their gaze towards us.

“Welcome back. Oh my, you must be cold.”

“Well, looks like you two had a good time… Ahem.”

Unlike grandmother, who was a beta and didn’t understand well, father seemed to grasp our situation at a glance, avoiding eye contact and laughing awkwardly.

“Yes, thanks to you, we had a good time. Have you two eaten?”

My hyung spoke shamelessly, without a change in his expression. Unlike him, Yubum, noticing my embarrassment, smiled broadly and reached out to me.

“Uuah, papa!”

“Yu-beom.”

Has Ho-ppang’s call ever been this welcome? I picked up Yubum from grandmother’s arms at the most welcome sound ever. Perhaps because we hadn’t seen each other for half a day, Yubum rubbed his cheek against my shoulder.

“Oh my, he must have stayed awake waiting for his father to return.”

“Gasp, he didn’t sleep at all today? Ho-ppang, did you do that?”

“Uuu, uah.”

I wiped the drool that had flowed under his chin and patted Yubum’s back. My heart ached at the thought of being away from my young baby for so long. His eyes, full of fatigue, blinked, hidden by his eyelashes, and then Ho-ppang’s eyes closed.

“Ahem, did you, uh, have dinner?”

Father’s words got tangled in his surprise. Understanding his question in a historical drama tone, I opened my mouth and looked up at my hyung.

“We haven’t eaten yet. If you two haven’t had dinner either, let’s eat together.”

“I have, uh, dinner plans. Eat with your in-law here. Baby, I’ll come again next time. Then, in-law. Please stay comfortably.”

My cheeks burned at the sight of father escaping as if he had been waiting for this. Ah… really. How am I supposed to face father from now on? As I closed my eyes, hugging Ho-ppang tightly, my hyung chuckled softly and took Yubum from me.

“Grandmother, I’ll have them prepare dinner. Please chat with Yuwon for a moment.”

“Alright, Kwon son-in-law. Put Yubum to bed quickly and come down.”

“Yes.”

My hyung carried Yubum upstairs in a familiar pose. As he disappeared, grandmother looked at me with a strange expression.

“Yuwon.”

“Y-yes?”

“It seems Kwon son-in-law bought you pretty clothes.”

As expected… I had forgotten about our grandmother’s keen eye. And she even pretended not to know. I lowered my head with a face even hotter than before. I bit the inside of my cheek as grandmother’s laughing voice brushed my ear. Despite it being January, I shook my head after spending a day hotter than ever.

From now on, outings alone are over, over.

The snow that had covered the world like a cozy blanket melted away, and warm spring arrived. Yubum, already welcoming his second spring, was incredibly curious. Last time, we had nearly had a big problem when he touched the bouquet from Seol-ah’s wedding that we had dried and framed.

As expected of my hyung’s child, his growth was so fast. Yubum, who started walking even before turning one, grew rapidly and was busy stirring up the house every day.

“Yubum!”

“Papa!”

“You really scared daddy.”

“Papa’s smell is strong here!”

I thought my heart would drop when the child disappeared after I went down to the kitchen for a moment after putting Yubum to sleep. Even though we made a room for him, Yubum always loved hiding in my hyung’s and my closet the most. When I asked the teacher, she said it’s probably because this place has a lot of our pheromones, giving the child a sense of security.

“So that’s why you like it here?”

“Ung!”

“I see. But next time, don’t disappear without saying anything. Daddy was really scared.”

“Ung, I know. Papa, sorry.”

Although I was very surprised by his sudden disappearance, seeing the child kiss my cheek like this made my startled feelings melt away like snow. I wiped his saliva-covered mouth and hugged Yubum tightly. His small hands wrapped around my neck, and the sound of his grinning brushed my ear.

“No one taught him, but he acts just like you.”

It was like that when he was just born, but as Yubum grew, he started to resemble my hyung more and more. If only his eye color hadn’t taken after me, he would have been almost like a miniature version of my hyung. Not just in appearance, but his actions were often similar too. Like holding my cheeks with both hands and staring at me for a long time, or hugging my neck tightly.

At times like that, I really laughed. Also, Yubum, who resembled my hyung so much, recently received test results showing a very high probability of presenting as a dominant alpha in the infant development test. And at a very high level of dominance too. Although it’s said that my hyung’s family has presented as dominant alphas for generations, it would be sad if this tiny child were to leave home early like my hyung did.

“Yubum, you have to live with daddy until you get married, okay?”

“Ung! Like!”

Whether he understood my words or not, Yubum laughed brightly and hugged me tightly. As I whispered, “I’d like to live together forever if possible,” my hyung’s voice came from behind.

“That might be a bit difficult.”

My hyung, who seemed to have come home early from work, was looking at us with his tie loosened.

“Hyung, you’re home?”

“Did you have a good day today too?”

My hyung kissed my forehead and smiled softly as he picked up Yubum.

“Did our son have a good day too?”

“Daddy!”

My hyung, who kissed Yubum’s forehead too, turned to me and rubbed my eyes. Perhaps because I haven’t been able to sleep well lately due to the upcoming wedding preparations, he seemed to notice that I was tired. I nuzzled my face against his chest, following Yubum, acting spoiled.

Although it’s quite late, we were planning to have our wedding ceremony soon.

“Let’s go to bed early today.”

“Tch… You’re the one who won’t let me sleep.”

As I looked up at my hyung, he gently rubbed my cheek with a soft smile. Since that day, it’s as if my hyung’s reins had been loosened, and he would push me down at any time, so… Well, I don’t mind, but our passionate nights continued every day.

“Still, it makes me feel all tingly here knowing I’m marrying you.”

“That’s a relief.”

“What is?”

As I tilted my head and looked at him, my hyung raised the corners of his mouth gently and said:

“I was worried that Cha Yuwon might get tired of me, but you’re telling me you’re still excited.”

“Hehe, what’s that about? Who would get tired of such a handsome and kind husband?”

As I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek, he once again showed a pleasant smile and hugged me. It’s hard to even think about the past events now, as my hyung has become much more smiley. And I was so happy too.

Yubum, who suddenly found himself in the middle, pulled down Taebeom’s hand covering his eyes and looked up, saying “Papa?” We both burst into laughter at the clear eyes looking up at us with a puzzled expression.

“Ah, so cute!”

“Yubumi weawing a bow tie.”

Yubum, reaching out to me from Uncle Dongjun’s arms, was too cute. Perhaps because he’s still young, his pronunciation of ‘beom’ not quite right was lovely. With his hair styled up and wearing a small bow tie, he looked like a little groom, as if he were a miniature version of my hyung.

“I don’t know if he understands that it’s his hyung and hyung’s wife’s wedding today, but the young master has been well-behaved. He seems happy to see you, sister-in-law.”

“Ah, really? Yubum, you didn’t cry and behaved well?”

“Ung! Yubumi good!”

“That’s right, our son is really good.”

We had to leave early in the morning for the wedding, so we asked the uncles to take care of Yubum. Seeing Yubum all dressed up nicely, I felt my nervousness easing a bit.

My hyung and I getting married… Somehow it kept getting postponed, and now it’s our wedding ceremony after three years of marriage. The feeling of standing here in a moment I thought would never come was indescribable.

“Here’s the Chungsimhwan you asked for. Does hyung need it too?”

“Ah, our hyung?”

“When I saw him earlier, his face seemed a bit stiff.”

Thinking it wouldn’t do, I asked Uncle Dongjun for Chungsimhwan. After drinking the liquid Chungsimhwan, my pounding heart seemed to calm down a bit.

“You look so handsome today, sister-in-law.”

“You’ve always been good-looking, but today you’re truly the most handsome in the world.”

“Hehe, thank you. You all look handsome too, uncles.”

Although it was the same black suit I see every day, everyone looked different from usual, having dressed up earnestly. As I held Yubum in my arms and gave a thumbs up, Yubum clumsily tried to imitate me.
