Epilogue

It’s been over a year since they got married, but Jung Won has been so busy that she couldn’t make time for their second honeymoon trip. Isn’t this too much? Kim Geon Hyeong who runs the Goryo Group could take his time, but the first year student of the Horticultural Science faculty couldn’t even take her time, even during summer vacation.

Jung Won realized that she was too busy. Jung Won accepted her husband’s first suggestion to realize her dream of gardening by taking the university entrance exam test and started studying hard about farming. Although her grades were not perfect enough to get into Kyung Hwan University, after struggling hard, she was finally accepted into the faculty of Horticultural Science and it turned out that her busy life was not only studying. Various trivial problems in his family also became her business.

Starting with Jae Hyun’s departure for school to America. Somehow he seduced a sexy blonde woman, but Mrs. Oh almost fainted at the news. She then continuously called Jung Won who could probably contact Jae Hyun. Therefore, Jung Won was currently in a difficult position between Jae Hyun who insisted on not letting his mother intervene anymore and Mrs. Oh who was lying weak and desperate.

Then, Shin Hee who didn’t care about Geon Hyeong kept Jung Won as her sister and every time she met a new man, she would always consult Jung Won. Geon Hyeong couldn’t help but  give  words  of  encouragement  to  the  middle  school  teacher  who  was  dating  Shin Hee.  Then,  Geon  Hyeong’s  grandparents  were  also  incessantly  asking  for  their  great- grandchildren.

Plus, Jason and Hee Won were suddenly very close and Jung Won couldn’t help but notice them. Geon Hyeong actually wanted to forbid it for the sake of his friend’s own comfort, but it seemed like a good solution to immediately hand over his sister-in-law to a responsible man. However, Jung Won disagreed because their ages were too far apart. If they fell in love with each other, what could be done? However, no one knew how the story of the two players would continue.

After all, there were many things that kept Geon Hyeong’s wife busy. If she hadn’t been weeding in other people’s fields in the afternoon like this, maybe she would still have time to rest. Geon Hyeong couldn’t stand seeing Jung Won getting thinner and thinner. However, Jung Won continued to work diligently even though Geon Hyeong had scolded her many times.

Geon Hyeong finally glanced at his watch and closed the laptop he was working on and went to pick up Jung Won.

As soon as he came out of the living room, a thick-furred cat immediately curled up and played at his feet. Meanwhile, Chi-chi spread her wings and looked at Geon Hyeong with a sad face.

“Saranghae, Saranghae.”

“I’m so sorry, but I only love my wife.”

“No, no.”

Fortunately, the ever-present Duldul in the front yard seemed to be napping peacefully. When Geon Hyeong was determined to take Jung Won home before the dog barked noisily, he noticed someone outside his house.

Jung Won came with a man. What is this…… If only Jung Won’s face didn’t look so pale and there wasn’t another girl coming with her, Geon Hyeong might have already thrown a punch.

“What’s wrong?”

Geon Hyeong immediately saved Jung Won from the young-looking man and asked with surprise at his pale-looking wife.

“It’s okay, it’s just the heat. Heatstroke.”

“That’s why, why are you out so hot like this…… Let’s go inside and lie down.”

As soon as Jung Won smiled to indicate that she was fine, the man who was on the verge of a temper tantrum carried his wife inside. The student looked at the figure behind them with envy, while the student’s face was full of disbelief.

Although Jung Won was a few years older than him, to him she was like an angel. But her angel was now with this cold-looking man. Feeling the need to save the woman, the student straightened his body angrily.

“Excuse me, who are you?”

“Her husband.”

As soon as Geon Hyeong came out of the room, the boy immediately asked him. Geon Hyeong, who was about to go to the kitchen to get cold water for his wife, replied briefly. Geon Hyeong, who happened to want to thank the two students who had helped his wife, stopped his steps.

“Husband? So, you guys are really married?”

“Are there people who get married falsely?”

Geon Hyeong asked back with his cold and stern tone that everyone, including the 20-year-old college student who had yet to pass through the salt of the earth, feared.

The student who now did not dare to look at Geon Hyeong only took a surprised breath. The student who had been looking at Geon Hyeong with admiration immediately retreated staggeringly with a pale face.

How could Unnie get married to a cold man like this? That kind-hearted lady has sacrificed herself for this person. Or else, she must have been threatened by this person.

“Ah, it’s not…… like that. It turns out……. you guys are already married.”

“Of course. So don’t you dare mess with my wife.”

Geon Hyeong emphasized the word ‘wife’ solemnly.

In fact, they have been married for more than a year, but there were still men who flirted with his wife. This really made Geon Hyeong uneasy. He felt like putting an announcement in the newspaper that Kang Jung Won was a married woman.

“Alright. She…… is just like…… N, Noona to me.”

“One  brother-in-law  is  enough  for  me.  I  hope  you  think  of  my  wife  as  just  a  married classmate. What do you think?”

“Yes, I also agree.”

The nervous-looking innocent student deeply buried his first love on the spot and had to settle for only thinking of her as a married classmate. From the start, Geon Hyeong was not his rival. As a man, perhaps the green 20-year-old student would idolize Geon Hyeong who looked very macho. But as a rival in romance, Geon Hyeong was definitely not a rival he wanted to compete with.

Geon Hyeong who was satisfied with the student’s attitude then kindly gave some money for a meal together in their department before the two students left. He instructed the two students to tell them that Jung Won couldn’t attend because she was a married woman and was currently sick, and asked them to understand.

If Jung Won found out, she would be furious. But they made a promise about this from the beginning. Of course, Jung Won couldn’t attend the meeting with her friends. Then, any Orientation Training (OT), Membership Training (MT), or other campus events must be approved by her husband first.

When making the agreement, Geon Hyeong was confident that he could give permission to participate in campus activities, but seeing many young men flirting with his wife like this, it seemed that he should rethink it.

“Why aren’t you wearing your ring?”

“It’ll get dirty on the ground.”

Geon Hyeong asked quietly with disappointment while placing a cool towel on Jung Won’s forehead to which Jung Won replied with a small smile. Geon Hyeong sometimes felt annoyed looking at Jung Won’s wedding ring that was just lying on her dressing table. The wedding ring that had Geon Hyeong’s name engraved on it, the beautiful ring that Jung Won had chosen was the same design as the ring hanging around Jung Won’s neck.

“It’s okay to get dirty. The important thing is that you wear it.”

Geon Hyeong didn’t seem to like Jung Won’s reasoning. His tone of voice rose by two octaves, but he himself didn’t seem to realize it.

“Alright. Don’t yell like that. The child will be surprised.”

“When did I…… what?”

Geon Hyeong, who hurriedly tucked a few pillows on her back as he lifted her body to lean back, suddenly fell into a stiff silence.

“You didn’t hear?”

“It’s not that, but yes, I think I heard wrong.”

“You didn’t hear wrong.”

Jung Won said confidently as she looked at Geon Hyeong’s stunned face like a fool for the first time. His gaze was directed to the lower part of Jung Won’s stomach which still looked flat and there was no sign of anything.

“So, is it true……”

“Yes, it is,” Jung Won answered Geon Hyeong’s incomplete question patiently.

“No way.”

“Why is it impossible?”

Since knowing this man named Kim Geon Hyeong, this was the first time Jung Won has seen him panic like this. Jung Won looked at Geon Hyeong who didn’t know what to do. Geon Hyeong, who kept staring at Jung Won’s face and stomach alternately, finally fell limply on one side of the bed. His face looked as if he couldn’t believe it.

“You don’t like it?”

“No, I don’t. Not at all.”

Geon Hyeong answered the question solemnly and hugged Jung Won tightly.

Didn’t like it? There’s no way he doesn’t like hearing this news. He always imagined his own family with this woman. Every time he thought of a child that looked like him and this woman, he always felt palpitations. However, when his dream came true, an overwhelming sense of happiness came over him to the point where he could not think straight. Therefore, the only thing that came to his mind was to hug his wife and feel her racing heartbeat together. Geon Hyeong was no longer alone after marrying this woman. And, now their new family appeared.

At first, Geon Hyeong thought that love did not exist in this world. But after making a choice that he never expected before, it felt like he was now the happiest man in the world.

“I love you, Jung Won. You are the best choice for me.”

“How so? But you were the worst choice for me.”

Hearing Geon Hyeong’s confession, Jung Won replayed her memories and laughed softly.

Even though this person liked to be arbitrary and stubborn. She still started her relationship with this person.

Now this man is the person she loves.

Even though she made this bad choice in the first place. It wasn’t love at first sight. However, one day she became family to this person.

The man who was once the worst man for her. Now he became her everything.

“Even so, you are my most extraordinary fortune.”

Jung Won smiled a little remembering the beginning of their meeting and whispered in Geon Hyeong’s ear.

I love you. I love you so much.

It was the sincerity contained in that short word that moved their hearts. Now, their real love story has begun.
