Chapter 26
Tae-seo’s single remark—“So that’s why you’ve been so nice to me.”—nearly made Jin Gyu-min burst into laughter. He barely managed to hold it in, quickly covering his mouth and coughing to mask his reaction. His eyes, however, darted back and forth between Se-heon and Tae-seo, filled with amusement.
Judging by their words and the situation, it seemed like a misunderstanding had formed somewhere along the way. But regardless, Se-heon had been treating Tae-seo better than usual. Jin Gyu-min was tempted to ask for details, but one glance at Se-heon’s expression made him reconsider. Se-heon’s jaw was clenched so tightly that his muscles twitched. Saying the wrong thing now might just get him killed.
"Let’s start the test first."
At Se-heon’s low, steady voice, Tae-seo got up without argument. Regardless of anything else, he was curious himself—was he actually pregnant or not?
As he followed the nurse toward the examination room, he suddenly paused and turned back to Se-heon.
"If you’re busy, you can go ahead and leave."
He said it because he remembered how busy Se-heon had been last time. It was better for him to just go to work rather than have his phone buzzing nonstop again. But Se-heon simply waved a hand dismissively, as if telling him to stop overthinking things.
"Even when you try to be considerate..."
Tae-seo shook his head and left.
The moment the door closed behind him, Jin Gyu-min raised both hands in a defensive stance. He had seen Se-heon’s clenched fists.
"If you throw that punch, you know you’re screwed, right? I won’t go easy on you just because we’re friends."
"You told me to take good care of him."
