When Kang Min Hyuk opened the door, he saw the delivery boy standing with a box in his hand.
"Yes?"
"Is this Mr. Lee's house?"
Min Hyuk shook his head and pointed at the house beside theirs and the delivery boy left with an apologetic look on his face. He locked the door and walked back inside.
"Who was it?"
"No one. A delivery boy. He came at the wrong address."
Ji Ah mouthed an 'Oh' and decided to walk to the room when Min Hyuk stopped her. She faced him and he avoided looking at her as if he was nervous.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing...." He fiddled with his fingers and continued "I want to have a child, Ji Ah."
"What?"
"I have been wanting to have a child since some time, Ji Ah. I want to complete our family."
Ji Ah was completely shocked to hear him. It was just what she wanted. She wanted to have a child as quickly as possible. She wanted to be a mother and experience all those wonderful moments with her child.
Seeing Ji Ah lost in thoughts, Min Hyuk cleared his throat and spoke "You can take time to think, Ji Ah. But I expect a positive reply." He walked towards her and kissed her cheek.
"I will get going now. Bye!" He wore his coat and adjusted his tie.
He kissed her on her forehead and Ji Ah said "I will get your lunch in the afternoon, okay?" He gave a nod and left the house.
Ji Ah smiled at his retreating back and started with her daily chores.
2 hours later, Ji Ah stretched herself. She was all set with the lunch and cleaning the house. Now she had to take a shower and dress herself.
After taking a bath, she wore a long peach dress which was below her knees. Making a french braid on her long hair, she tied an orange rubber band at the end.
Ji Ah worked at a primary school as an English teacher. After getting ready, she packed two lunch boxes - one for her husband and another one for herself.
Since, last night Min Hyuk had tired her, she decided to take a leave but today someone new was joining the staff, so she thought of going. Holding the lunch boxes in her hand, she walked out of the house.

"Sir, Mrs. Kang left the lunchbox at the reception desk." The receptionist informed Kang Min Hyuk through the phone.
"Did she leave?" .
"Yes, she did, sir."
Min Hyuk took out his phone and called Ji Ah. After a few rings, Ji Ah picked up the phone. "Did you get your lunch?"
"Why did you not come inside to give me?" Min Hyuk found it odd. Ji Ah always especially used to come to his room to give over the lunch box. But she didn't come today. He was afraid that the talk of the child made her act distant.
"Is it because I talked about having a baby?" He stammered.
Ji Ah widened her eyes as she heard his question. It was really surprising for him to think this way. "No. It is not like that." She squealed.
"Then what is it?"
"I was in a hurry. Don't worry. I won't think it that way." Ji Ah told him the reason and assured him.
Min Hyuk sighed deeply and felt glad that it wasn't this reason. "Alright, then. I will hang up." Ji Ah said when Min Hyuk stopped her.
"Listen, I will be late today. We have a party for a new staff member. So, don't wait for me and eat your food and go to sleep."
"Ohh, Really? In our school also, a new teacher has joined." Ji Ah said while being in a daze. Right now, she was inside the cab waiting at a signal. As she turned to her right, she saw a familiar face inside the car.
She squinted her eyes to have a closer look but before she could do so, the signal opened and her cab went to the left while that car went straight. After a few more talks, she bid her husband goodbye and sat comfortably.

"This will be the homework for today. You all will be writing different 3 letter words for two times in your book, alright? I will be checking your homework tomorrow.. " The bell rang and Ji Ah walked out of the classroom.
As she walked out of the classroom, she was joined by the teacher who had finished in the next class.
"You got any plans for today?" Ik Sun asked Ji Ah.
"No, Why?"
"The new teacher who joined... we have decided to give him a treat. So, you should also come along... Ahh, It's been a while since, we all teachers went out for a long party." Ik Sun stretched her hands upwards and joyfully smiled.
Since, Min Hyuk was gonna be late today, Ji Ah thought that it would be better to join the party so, she joined. After school was over, they all arrived at a grand restaurant in a minivan. By the time, they reached it became 7.
The new teacher who had joined was a Male in his 40's. He was working in another school until that school had been demolished. All of them went inside the restaurant. They had reserved a private room and so, the waiter escorted them to their reserved room.

After having their food, everyone came out of the room talking. Their stomachs were now full and they wanted to take a rest. Ji Ah also was feeling tired. In fact, she was feeling so drowsy that she could sleep over here any minute.
As they all were walking, the door of the room beside theirs opened and a bunch of people came out. They were wearing suit and ties. As Ik Sun spotted someone familiar, she elbowed her drowsy friend and asked "Hey! Isn't that your husband, Mr. Kang?" She pointed at the man who was walking alongside another man.
Ji Ah looked in the direction of Ik Sun's finger and immediately recognized that it was Min Hyuk - her husband.
Instantly, her drowsiness disappeared and she called him from behind. She later felt bad calling him because he came towards her with a surprised yet pleased look on his face.
Min Hyuk who was discussing something with his colleagues heard his wife's voice. Her voice was small but it felt like she was somewhere near. He turned around and saw Ji Ah standing behind. Excusing himself from his group, he approached Ji Ah. "What are you doing over here, Ji Ah?"
He asked surprised.
"We came to have a small party."
"You could have told me sooner, we all would have had food together..." Minhyuk felt relieved as he was able to see his wife's face. Ji Ah waved her hand indicating as a no.
"Our CEO changed so, he invited us all for a party."
Ji Ah mouthed an 'O'. The others colleague greeted her and she greeted them back. She noticed that there wasn't anyone who was new except for the man who had his back faced towards her. She stared at the man's back for a second until she was called out by her husband. Min Hyuk held her hand and asked "You want to come along with us? Or, you want to go home?"
"Home. I'm tired. So, I will just go..." Ji Ah waved her husband goodbye and left along with the teachers in the minivan.
