GONG HANSEO watched Seong Kyungmin’s reaction after he told him about his chance encounter with Kang Daeho.
Yes, he was still on his lover’s lap the entire time.
As usual, his fiancé remained calm while listening to the entire story.
And, after a while...
"Hanseo-ya."
"Yeah?"
"Your sunbae said he didn’t want the baby," Seong Kyungmin said carefully, probably trying not to hurt his feelings. "That means he doesn’t want to go through the pregnancy. So, you can’t ask him to give birth to the baby that he doesn’t want in the first place just because you want to adopt his unborn child."
Oh.
To be honest, Gong Hanseo didn’t think about that.
When he heard that Kang Daeho wanted to abort the baby, all he thought about was that he wanted to adopt the baby.
Thankfully, he didn’t say that out loud.
Otherwise, he would have sounded really insensitive.
"I’m so embarrassed by my thoughtlessness," Gong Hanseo said, covering his face with his hands. "Thank you for keeping me grounded, Hyung."
Seong Kyungmin wrapped his arms around Gong Hanseo’s waist. "Babe, do you really want a child? Or is it only because my mother keeps bothering you to give me an heir? If it’s the latter, then I want you to reconsider it, Hanseo-ya. I don’t need an heir. If my bloodline ends with me, so be it."
"I know that you don’t need an heir, Hyung. And, even before we started dating officially, you’ve already told me that you weren’t interested in having a child. But you also told me that if I want a baby, then there are several ways to do it," Gong Hanseo said carefully. "But, until now, I’ve never really considered it. Because, like you, I’m already content with our family of two. That’s why I also don’t understand why I suddenly want to adopt Daeho Hyung’s unborn baby."
"Maybe your maternal instincts have finally awakened?"
Gong Hanseo chuckled.
Clearly, Seong Kyungmin was trying to make things light.
"But, Hyung..."
"Yes, babe?"
"If I meet another child that I want to adopt, will you consider adopting them with me?"
"Of course. I’ll consider it positively," Seong Kyungmin assured Gong Hanseo. "Yes, I’m already content with just the two of us. But an additional member of the family doesn’t sound bad. However, if we decide to adopt a child, I want it to be because we want to, and not because we were pressured by someone else."
Gong Hanseo smiled and nodded. "I’ll keep that in mind, Hyung."

WHAT kind of wedding do I want?
Gong Hanseo had no work that day, so he decided to finally start planning his wedding for real.
Of course, he’d hire an entire team of wedding organizers later to help him.
But, for now, he wanted to start the preparations by himself.
Hence, he bought the latest wedding planning catalogue from a famous magazine.
And, right now, he was lazing around while flipping through the catalogue.
I can’t have Garam’s wedding as a reference because his wedding ceremony was something pulled out of a fairy tale book.
Of course, Seong Kyungmin could give him a grand wedding, too.
But that’s not what I want.
A solemn wedding— that was what Gong Hanseo wanted.
Maybe a garden wedding?
Yeah, that sounds nice.
Finally, Gong Hanseo’s solo brainstorming was paying off.
He thought he would get so much planning done today...
... until he got a phone call from an unexpected person.
Gong Hanseo immediately got up and answered the call. "Daeho Hyung?"
"I’m sorry, Hanseo-ya, but can you come and pick me up?"
