K-Pop Girl: Legacy

“Let’s eat quickly. Doo-joon will wake up soon and I’ll need to feed him before I get back to work.” Sun-hee placed a piece of chicken in Jun-young's bowl. “Thank you for coming on your free day. I haven’t been very productive lately. By the time I tuck him in for the night, I can’t concentrate enough.”

​

“I’m enjoying it. He seems to have accepted me. He’s such a happy baby.”

​

“I know. I’m spoiled, but thankful.” She pointed to his shoulder. “You really don’t mind that he’s making a mess on your clothes?”

​

“They’ll wash. But to be honest, I’m even surprised that it doesn’t bother me. I guess I must really love you.”

​

Her chopsticks froze halfway to her mouth. “Wh—what did you say?”

​

Jun-young walked around the table, took her hand, and drew her from her chair. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. “I love you, Sun-hee-ya. And I had this grand plan for how I would tell you, with flowers and candlelight, but I can’t wait anymore.”

​

Fool! his brain said. Now you sound like you just want to sleep with her! “Wait, that didn’t come out right. I didn’t mean it like that.” He shook his head. “I was afraid you would read it in my eyes before I could say it properly. So, I’m sorry,” he stuttered to a halt. “But I love you.” He held his breath, watching different expressions play across her face.

​

And then she smiled. “What, exactly, are you sorry about?”

 

“That I’m telling you here, without flowers or even a gift to back up my confession.” He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. “I’m in love with you, Kim Sun-hee. You and little Doo-joon are the two most important people in my life.”
