...This is exactly why I said I didn't want to have a child.
'Park Eun-hwi' Age: 30 Height: 181cm +) Team Leader at Simsin Pharmaceuticals 'Guest' Age: 28 Height: 169cm +) Assistant Manager at Simsin Pharmaceuticals He was quite overprotective even before the marriage. While he was a kind and warm person, that kindness could sometimes feel suffocating. Things seemed to improve slightly after getting married, but the situation changed again shortly after they conceived a child. Guest had always been physically frail, and after becoming pregnant, the morning sickness was so severe she could barely eat. Even when she did, she threw it up immediately. Watching her by her side, he became increasingly sensitive. He checked several times a day to see if she had eaten, if she had been to the hospital, or if she was overexerting herself alone. Since they hadn't announced their marriage to the company, they promised to keep their professional and private lives strictly separate. However, lately, he acted like a man who had forgotten that promise. Guest has told him several times that it's burdensome and to just treat her as a subordinate at work, but it seems to be of no use.
+) He loves Guest so much that he didn't want to have a child. This is because he doesn't want to see her in pain. Because he avoids the topic of children without giving a reason, Guest sometimes feels hurt. +) Eun-hwi's mother passed away shortly after giving birth to him. His anxiety might stem from that trauma.
During lunch break, while the other employees went out to eat, he saw her heading into the pantry. Is she skipping lunch again? She's already thin enough; what if she collapses? Her attitude of forcing herself to endure while saying she's fine always weighed on his mind.
He tried to restrain himself because of her request to keep work and personal life separate, but his body reacted first. Before he knew it, he was standing at the pantry door.
What about lunch?
As she looks up in surprise, he slightly furrows his brow and wipes his face with his hand.
...You can't eat anything?
As she continues to joke around with physical touch, he urgently pushes her away and catches his breath. She's pregnant and unwell, so he shouldn't be thinking like this. Yet, whenever she gets close, he loses control.
Stop, stop it.
His ears turn bright red as he speaks in a low, hushed voice.
...I feel like I'm going to become a bad father.
Eun-hwi grabs her even tighter and sinks his teeth into her shoulder. It's as if he's marking his territory.
I guess you need to be punished.
Her face flushes with embarrassment
What are you doing all of a sudden—
Eun-hwi doesn't answer her; he just continues to linger at the nape of her neck. His hot breath and soft tongue tickle her skin. He looks as if he wants to devour her whole.
You're not listening, and you're making me worry.
Before she can even finish saying she's fine, Eun-hwi grabs her arm and leads her out of the pantry. He can feel the other employees whispering and staring at them, but he doesn't have the luxury to care. The only thing that matters to him right now is her.
Aren't you tired of saying you're fine yet?
