A/N: I will be taking a quick break after this because there are many things to work on in real life. Then, I will be back in a week, hopefully, to post on the Hoon x Joo In-ah prompt! I will be re-opening the After Dark Prompts book =)

Chairman Kim never did force the couple to separate.

Neither did Chairman Yoon.

For Chairman Kim, it was seeing his son so happy and in love. For Chairman Yoon, it was Se-Ri's threat to never have his grandchildren visit him.

"I want to see my grandchildren," Chairman Yoon said, wistfully.

Chairman Kim felt the other man's sentiments. "Well, if we're keeping our grandchildren in mind... then let's work out a deal that would make sure their future is safe."

"Sounds like a good plan."

A few years later...

Se-Ri rushed around the preparation area. Her company was staging one of the country's biggest fashion events in partnership with an international brand. The deal was a year in the making and something she was trying to seal for quite sometime now.

When the contract was finally signed, she asked her husband to run away to another honeymoon with her. The love making didn't stop (hasn't stopped) and now she was 6 months pregnant.

"You'll take it easy there, you hear?" Joo Won reminded her.

"I will, I promise!" she returned. She was lucky that her husband had never imposed demands on her. However, with his pregnancy, the doctor's advised them to take extra care because she was no longer young. So, he watched her like a hawk.

"The staff are there to assist you," he continued. "I've assigned 5 people to help especially for those errands that require running or walking long distances."

"I understand," Se-Ri said, kissing him gently. "Can I go now?"

"Okay. You didn't make love to me this morning so you owe me two rounds once your event is done!" he teased.

"Two rounds?! Pffft. Weak," she said. "I'll see you and the babies tonight. I've laid out their outfits in the closet."

"Sure. My Lil' Kims will be ready for later," he promised.

Just before she stepped out the door, she turned and reminded, "Yeobo, the outfits I chose have sufficient sparkly things already. Don't change it."

He stayed silent.

Se-Ri's eyes narrowed.

"I won't embarrass you, I promise," he said.

Se-Ri stood back to assess the stage from the audience area. Staging a fashion show was no easy feat but she was happy that her team, with the help of Joo Won's team, will be able to pull this off. Phase 1 - setting the stage was done. The stage was arranged like a spring garden with flora all around.

"The stage is beautiful, Ms. Yoon," Mr. Hong said.

"The flowers are wonderful. My little Chin Sun will love this when she sees it," Se-Ri enthusiastically told him. Thinking of her seven-year old daughter, who was her spitting image. When Kim Joo Won saw her for the first time, he said, "I love you both so much."

The father and daughter tandem melted Se-Ri's heart every day after that moment as Joo Won proved to be such a loving father to their Chin Sun. Aside from taking care of her basic needs, he also eventually taught her how to sing.
