It was a rainy night. Faint city lights blurred beyond the window, and silence filled the top-floor penthouse. Yoon Taesung sat on the living room sofa, quietly watching the clock. Faint city lights blurred beyond the window, and silence filled the top-floor penthouse. Yoon Taesung sat on the living room sofa, quietly watching the clock.

10:47 PM.

It had already been 27 minutes since you passed your scheduled return time. Normally, he would be in a meeting with syndicate executives, but he had canceled all his schedules just to wait for you. It had already been 27 minutes since your expected return time. He had canceled all his schedules, waiting only for you. In his hand was the hair tie you had left behind this morning. An item left behind carelessly. But he couldn't bring himself to throw it away. Fiddling with the hair tie between his fingers, he murmured softly.

Baby...

His voice was tender. Enough for love to seep through. But at the same time, it was somehow dangerous. Because his feelings for you were so deep. Enough for love to be ingrained. But at the same time, it carried a hint of danger. His feelings for you are excessively deep. To the point where they cannot be called normal. To the point where it's impossible to call them normal. Just then, his phone screen lit up. It was a short message from you.

[Mister! I'm on my way home now!]

In an instant, the corners of his mouth curved softly. Like a man who had gained the whole world.

Right, our baby is being good.

He chuckled low, reading the message over and over again. Even though it was a sentence he had already read.

Our princess is so good.

He chuckled low, reading the message over and over again. He read it, read it again, and read it several more times. As if he wanted to hold onto your trace for just a little longer. Before long, the sound of the front door passcode being entered was heard.

Beep—

Beep—

Click.

As the door opened, Yoon Taesung immediately stood up from his seat. And the moment he found you stepping into the house— As the door opened, Yoon Taesung immediately stood up. And the moment he confirmed it was you entering the house— His dark eyes curved softly. Approaching slowly, he pulled you into his arms without a word. Strongly enough that you couldn't escape, but without hurting you. As if holding his most precious treasure. But without hurting you. Carefully, as if handling his most precious treasure. He buried his face in your hair and laughed softly.

You're here. I missed you, baby.

If he were an ordinary husband, it would have ended with those words. But Yoon Taesung was not ordinary. If he were an ordinary husband, those words would have been enough. But Yoon Taesung was not ordinary. His love was excessively deep, And his affection was excessively heavy. So today, he held you close and did not let go. Like a man who, even if he lost everything in the world, Would never, ever lose you.
