How to Have a Baby Secretly-Chapter 66

The thought of Kang Jinwook having no right to interfere with his decision made Sunwoo’s response sharp. After all, Kang Jinwook didn’t even know who the biological other guardian of the child was. The decision about what would happen to the fetus was entirely Sunwoo’s responsibility. Kang Jinwook had no right to voice his opinion.

“Were you planning to get rid of it?”

Kang Jinwook asked, disregarding Sunwoo’s defensive tone. Get rid of it? Just hearing those words made Sunwoo shudder.

“What are you saying!”

Sunwoo shouted loudly.

“So you were planning to keep it, huh?”

Kang Jinwook, without a care, nodded as if he had expected that response.

“Of course!”

The moment he found out he was pregnant, Sunwoo had never once considered aborting the baby. The situation was sudden, overwhelming, and full of doubts, but he had never once thought about ending the pregnancy.

Others might find it strange how easily he had made the decision to keep the child as a man, but to Sunwoo, it was simple. Just as his mother had chosen to keep him even though it wasn’t a planned pregnancy, Sunwoo felt he should make the same choice.

“I see.”

Kang Jinwook quietly observed Sunwoo, who was now visibly upset by the conversation. It seemed like Sunwoo truly had never once considered terminating the pregnancy.

Kang Jinwook, of course, already knew whose child it was.

“So, were you planning to stay here until then?”

“Uh, well… um…”

Sunwoo, who had been answering with clarity before, now hesitated. It was true, but saying it out loud made him feel uncomfortable.

“I see.”

Kang Jinwook responded casually and glanced around the house. It seemed like it was a place prepared just for Sunwoo. The size was modest, and the atmosphere was cozy.

It was the perfect place to live alone. While it wasn’t very close, it wasn’t far either—a taxi ride away from the university hospital and with a nearby resort area for relaxation and a town where he could get necessities.

Sunwoo must have looked up all these things before coming here. The reason he asked for a week was to prepare a nest where he could raise the child.

And unfortunately, there was no place for Kang Jinwook in that plan.

“So, your answer…”

Kang Jinwook’s gaze, which had been wandering around the house, turned back to Sunwoo.

“Answer? What answer?” Sunwoo tilted his head. Then he realized it was actually him who had asked the question.

“Hey, I was the one who asked, you know?”

Sunwoo mumbled with a hint of irritation. Once again, Kang Jinwook responded calmly.

“I just wanted to hear how you would say it.”

“What do you mean… Ah!”

Sunwoo almost asked what he was talking about, but then remembered that today was the week they had agreed upon.

“As you know, it’s hard for me to work in my current state. I’m in the early stages of pregnancy, so I need rest, and I’ve been told not to overdo it.”

“Right.”

Kang Jinwook nodded without hesitation.

“So, you can’t be my assistant.”

“Does that mean you won’t?” Kang Jinwook raised an eyebrow.

“No.”

Sunwoo quickly shook his head.

“No?”

“Um... I’ll stay by your side for a month.”

“My side?”

That was a loaded statement. Kang Jinwook raised his eyes as if signaling Sunwoo to continue.

“Yeah, let’s stick to the agreement we made at the beginning.”

“Agreement?” Kang Jinwook asked, his face showing confusion. What was that supposed to mean? Sunwoo pouted and answered.

“We’re engaged, remember?”

Kang Jinwook’s face lit up in realization.

“Oh…”

‘What? Did you think it was nothing? That you didn’t even think about it right away?’

“So, does that mean you’ll stay by my side as my fiancée for a month?”

“Yeah.”

“And after that?”

“I’ll break up with you.”

Anything beyond that would be dangerous. After all, once his belly started showing, things would become more complicated. After parting with Kang Jinwook cleanly, Sunwoo planned to return here.

‘Yeah, that’s how it should be.’

Kang Jinwook slowly nodded. As expected, he had planned to rent this cozy, modest place with the idea of this arrangement in mind.

Kang Jinwook looked at Sunwoo with a fresh gaze. There wasn’t much change in him. Actually, maybe a small change.

Though he didn’t realize it, Sunwoo was now emitting a fresh and sweet scent, and the child growing inside him was Kang Jinwook’s.

“Alright. But I also have a condition.”

Finally, Kang Jinwook spoke. Sunwoo, hearing the word “condition,” felt oddly relieved. He wished he had said it earlier instead of keeping him in suspense.

Sunwoo nodded, signaling that he was listening. Kang Jinwook smiled slightly, almost warmly.

‘What? Why is he smiling like that?’

In fact, it made Sunwoo feel awkward. Kang Jinwook stared at him intently as if trapping him with his gaze.

“The child, keep it and give birth to it by my side.”

What? What did he just say?

“… Huh?”

It seemed like Kang Jinwook had said something, but Sunwoo couldn’t immediately process it.

“What did you say?”

“I’ll take responsibility until the birth.”

“No, why…?”

There was no need for that. Wait, did he figure out who the biological other guardian of the child was?

Sunwoo quickly examined Kang Jinwook’s face—his eyes, his expression, even his lips and the pheromones he was emitting...

And then he realized there were no pheromones. It seemed like Kang Jinwook had contained them. He felt at ease, just like at the resort, but it was a little disappointing.

“No way!”

No, that wasn’t it! He wasn’t disappointed!

Sunwoo shook his head quickly. That thought wasn’t his. His mind had just gone off on its own and made him think that way.

Kang Jinwook just watched Sunwoo shake his head, his expression shifting in unpredictable ways.

While it was interesting to watch, they needed to continue the conversation.

“What are you going to do alone? Your belly will keep growing, will you be able to manage?”

“I’ll manage somehow.”

Sunwoo muttered nonchalantly. Kang Jinwook twitched his eyebrows again.

“Somehow? That’s such an irresponsible thing to say.”

Wait, was that something he should’ve heard from Kang Jinwook? Sunwoo looked at him with a puzzled expression.

When their eyes met, Kang Jinwook gave him a look that seemed to ask, “Did you say something wrong?” It seemed like Sunwoo wasn’t mistaken.

The fact that Kang Jinwook was concerned... no, thinking about such things seemed almost impossible. What kind of person was he, after all?

“No, it’s not irresponsible. I’ve thought it through, alright?”

“What have you thought?”

“For starters, I found a house that’s easy for me to manage, and there’s a big hospital just 20 minutes away by taxi. There’s also a resort where I can relax nearby…”

Sunwoo began to list off his plan without even realizing why he was telling Kang Jinwook all of this.

It wasn’t because he wanted to share his thoughts, but because he was frustrated at the idea that Kang Jinwook thought he was an irresponsible future parent.

Kang Jinwook listened to Sunwoo’s plan without a hint of surprise. As expected, it was just like he had imagined.

‘Why haven’t you told me you were pregnant?’

The footage caught on the CCTV showed Sunwoo had intentionally been with Kang Jinwook. The recorded muttering had made his intentions clear.

There must have been a reason, but what was it? Why hadn’t he shown it until now?

Well, if it was the notorious Choi Sunwoo, he would likely insist on it. After all, until the child was born, no one could say whose bloodline it truly belonged to.

Then again, Sunwoo had supposedly lost his memory. Maybe he was now a completely different person, thinking he could raise the child alone.

But Kang Jinwook would never let Sunwoo raise the child alone. After all, he already knew who the other biological guardian was.

“Kang Chairman.”

Kang Jinwook, who had been quietly listening to Sunwoo’s explanation, finally asked a question.

“Kang Chairman?”

Why was he bringing him up?

“I’m sure Chairman Kang won’t step back so easily just because I said we’ll end things in a month. He’ll probably watch you for a while. If he finds out you’re pregnant, what do you think will happen?”

“Ah... right.”

Sunwoo clenched his fist tightly under the table. He had forgotten again about what Chairman Kang might do, distracted by other thoughts.

Chairman Kang was someone who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. If he found out Sunwoo was pregnant, he might try to kidnap the child right after it was born.

Could Sunwoo protect the child safely if that happened?
