I missed you too ♥
Seohyun sat in the armchair by the window in her hospital room and stared out as snowflakes drifted down in crazy little spirals. Though it was plenty warm in her room, a chill crept over her shoulders and she shivered.
“Do you want a blanket?” Yonghwa asked.
She turned her head in surprise. She hadn’t expected him back, though she should have known he wouldn’t be gone for long. He’d been a constant presence over the past few days, always there, anticipating her every need.
“Sorry if I startled you,” he said in a low voice.
“You didn’t. I just didn’t hear you come in,” she returned her gaze back at the window, refusing to look at him once more.
He moved in front of her and perched on the windowsill. He shoved his hands in his pockets and then leveled a stare at her.
“I just finished talking to your doctor. He’s willing to release you,” Yonghwa explained.
Her eyes widened in surprise.
“There are conditions, of course. He’s very concerned over your health,” he continued.
She frowned and looked at him, eyes wide with worry and fear. “What conditions?”

“Yonghwa, you can’t just leave here. It could be weeks before I have the baby. You can’t hover over me for so long. I can take care of myself. And, neither can you leave your work. Your life is here.”
He slid to his knees in front of her and gathered her hands in his.
“My life is with you. You and our baby are my absolute priority. I have people who are more than capable of running things in my absence. I have business partners who are more than willing to step in and take over any matters needing my attention. We’ll be minutes from the hotel construction site, so I can easily oversee any issues that arise there.”
Nothing had been said of the night she’d collapsed after her emotional breakdown. It had been a carefully avoided issue, as was the matter of their future…and his brother. She could see the torment and the terrible guilt in Yonghwa’s eyes, but he didn’t broach t
