“No don’t, Shouldn’t you keep me compa-
“A cup of iced coffee!” A customer order.
“Coming!” She ran to where Min-ho was.
Ryan rolled his eyes.
Ryan stayed until they closed.
“You drank four cups today, Too much caffeine isn’t good” She complained packing his cups.
“Why didn’t you stop him?” She asked handed the cups to min-ho.
“Customers are always right” He replied.
She hissed removing her apron.
Minho, Ryan and Rose were busying chatting.
“You should employ me as a part time worker at your hotel” Minho said.
“Minho” Rose spanked him.
“Doesn’t she pay you for your service?” Ryan asked.
Rose blinked looking at him.”Why are you ask-
“She doesn’t” He sighed.
“Ok, I’ll pay you five hundred thousand won” Ryan said.
“For a year?!, 500,00 won!” He exclaimed.
“Is it too small?” He asked bringing out his credit card from his little wallet.
“You can have my card” He said.
Minho licked his lips rubbing his palms together.
He extended an hand to collect it, Rose quickly held his hand.
“Learn!, to!, say!,no!” She spanked his arms four times. She exhaled deeply.
“Why did you do that?, I have lots of credit cards”
“You’ll spoil him, Minho spends lavishly”.
“Really?, I really love it when someone spends my money as quickly like I earn it” He said. Minho dragged the card.
“Thank you,Bye!” He bowed and ran out of the cafe.
“I feel so much pity for your card, You won’t be able to recognize the amount left after a month” She said.

“Oh my gawd” Ana gushed looking away.
TWO WEEKS LATER*

Minho came in grinning with Ryan’s credit card in his hand.
Rose dragged him by his ear taking him outside the cafe.
“Where have you been for the past one week!”
“Somewhere” He smiled.
“Hand me the card now” She said.
“I’ll return it when the owner asks for it” He said.
Rose glared at him. A girl came and began hitting Minho.
“Where have you been!, Why weren’t you picking up your calls?!” She cried.
“Who are you?” She gently pushed away from him.
“She’s pregnant, Nu-na” He quickly held the girl.
“Huh?”
“She’s my girlfriend, Lee So-i” He said.
“Pregnant as in preggie?” She muttered. He nodded.
“What the!”
“I’m sorry, Sis”
“Don’t say sorry or else I’ll see it like you consider this baby a mistake”.
“I’m not sorry, Sis” He muttered. She began rubbing her little baby bump.
Rose looked at her tummy.
“She’s really pregnant” She muttered.
“Please support us,Sis” He said.
“I’m tired min, my back hurts” She said.
“Sorry, Sorry, Sorry” He said rubbing her tummy.
“See ya later” He said as he hailed a cab.
Rose just stood there opening and closing her mouth like a fish in confusion.
Chapter 47 : Looking Forward to a Life Together
Mira was waiting at the bus-stop waiting for Taeha.
“Where is he?” She muttered.
“Behind you” He smiled.
She turned and hugged him.
“I missed you all day, Sunshine”.
“I missed you too, Moon” He broke the hug. He brought out a banana milk from his bag.
“Your favourite” He smiled as he opened it for her.
“Here, Easy moon” He said as she drank it from his hand.
“You should also have some” She took it from him.
He bent his head so she fed him the milk.
“I bought it for you so have the rest” He smiled.
“Have a little more”.
“No”.
“Just a little”.
“No”.
“A little” She pouted stomping her feets on the ground.
“Ok, Moon” He said taking a sip.
“Let’s go” She held his hand.
They were busying chatting, smiling, chuckling, laughing and swaying their hands as they walked home,Mira now lives with Taeha.
A car parked in front of them.
“She’s four months pregnant” Minho said as he knelt down in front of Rose.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I was scared”
So-i increased the volume of the TV as she sat on the couch eating.
Rose looked at her.
“So you bought all these with Ryan’s credit card?” She pointed at the baby stuffs on the floor.
He nodded. “Hand me the card” She said. He gave her the card.
“Since you’re man enough to impregnate a girl, you should take your responsibilities by yourself”.
“You should have been careful, you know. How will you start a family while in school?” She asked as her eyes stung with tears.
“I’ll drop out of school”.
“I feel like slapping you, What do you mean by you’ll dropout of school?!, How do you want mom and dad to feel?, What were you thinking?!” She burst out in tears.
So-i muted the TV. She knelt down in front of Rose.
“We’re sorry,Eon-ni (Older sister)” She said emotionally.
“Get up,So-i” She sniffed.
“No,Let me remain like this” She cried.
“Where are your parents?,And what was their reaction when they found out that you’re pregnant?” Rose asked.
“They at home but they vowed not to ever pay my tuition fees anymore”.
“You see you’ve ruined an innocent girl life because of an hour or two pleasure” She said throwing a pillow at Minho.
“Can you cater for a child?, Can you pay her fees?, Are you expecting me to cater for you guys and a child?” She sniffed.
“I’m sorry” He cried.
“I won’t cater for you guys but I’ll give you a source of income, You can do whatever with it and if you like immediately she gives birth, Knock her down again without any plans”.
“I’ll hand over the cafe to you, you can employ people and you both will continue schooling I’ll pay you guys fees until you graduate but after that don’t expect anything from me” She said.
“I’m sorry” He cried.
She knelt down and hugged them.
“You should go see Mom and dad” She said.
“Ok” He muttered.

“I won’t until you accept Taeha and I” She said holding Taeha hand tightly.

Her dad was wowed. He smiled at her behavior, He looked at Taeha.
“I can get you an lucrative job so come to the white tomorrow”.
“No dad, I want to become the man I want to without anyone’s help not even my parents” He said.
“I love the fact that you guys know what you want, Mira is becoming a matured woman now thanks to you” He smiled.
5 MONTHS LATER*
So-i was in labour. Minho was pacing around crying.
“Calm down” Ryan said.

Minho ran into the ward.
“I’m here” He knelt beside her holding her hand tightly.

“Min-ho” She muttered.
“You can do it, So-i” He held her hand tightly as she pushed with their wedding rings shining beautifully.
She cried.”It’s painful”
“You can do it miss, Just a little more” The nurse said.

“No, You can’t” The nurse replied.
“Please wait,I want to always remember this moment” He cried bringing out his phone to take a pic.
“Thank you” He bowed as the nurse took the baby away for cleaning.
“Look at our baby” He smiled as he knelt beside her showing her the picture.
“Isn’t she as beautiful as you?” He asked.
“Please promise me, You’ll take care of her” She muttered.
“We’ll do that together” He said placing a kiss on her temple.
She smiled closing her eyes slowly.

“How’re you feeling?” He asked worriedly. She gave him a faint smile.
“I was so scared” His eyes stung with tears.
“I’m sorry” She smiled.
“Our baby was here to see but you were asleep” He said. She slightly chuckled at his words as she tried to sit up.
“Should I go bring the baby?” He asked as he helped her sat up. She smiled.
“I’ll be back shortly” He smiled as he kissed her forehead.
He turned to leave, She held his wrist.

“Let’s go quickly” Ryan said.
“I think she might need this” She said picking a neck pillow.
“That’s enough let’s go” He said dragging her by her hand.
“Isn’t that Mira?” She muttered as they approached the cashier.
She was with Taeha.”Are you on leave?” Ryan asked.
“You should say hi at least” Rose said.
After Rose handed her cafe to min-ho, Mira got a job as a hotelier at an hotel.
“Annyeonghaseyo” Taeha bowed.

“You should upgrade,Taeha. We don’t live in the Joseon dynasty where you bowed to your friends or peers”

She continued writing.
“The baby” He muttered.
“Oh, Sorry” She brought out her breast to feed the baby. She glued her eyes on her books.
“Don’t overfeed her like you did the other day”.
“Ouch” She winced as the baby bit her with her little milk teeths.
Minho chuckled. “Stop behaving like your dad” She muttered.
“You really shouldn’t say that to a baby” He said.

“You should become an idol, You have an angelic voice” Lily complimented.
“I’m not sure Ryan would let me” She smiled.
“F**k the leech” She scoffed.
“He’s your brother,Jisoo”.
“My bad,I’m still not used to that” She chuckled.
“Hi Lily” He descended from the stairs.
“Was just telling Rose to become an idol but she said you’d disagree” Lily said.
“To be honest, I wouldn’t completely disagree because idols schedules are always tight so she won’t even get the time to rest” He laid on the couch placing his head on Rose thighs.
“And I’m attached or rather addicted to Ryan so it’s gonna be hard” She said.
“Stroke my hair” Ryan smiled.
“Ok muse” She stroke his hair gently.
“You can become a songwriter though” Ryan said.

“Rose was supposed to debut with us but she didn’t because she had to work,Manager Kang likes her for her talents nothing more” Lily said.
“Ok” He exhaled deeply.
“Isn’t the moon beautiful?” Rose muttered watching the moon from the balcony.
“Sure it is but not as beautiful as you are” He smiled kissing her neck hugging her from behind.
“Ryan” She muttered.
“Jisoo” He said softly.
“Let’s watch the stars” She chuckled. Ryan stopped.
“What would it be like to be stars?” He asked still hugging her from behind.
“Nice I guess, You’ll get to watch everything without moving an inch” She said.
“True” He said.
Rose held his hands.
“I love you Taeho” She smiled.
“I love you more” He whispered.
Rose went like throwing up, she ran to the bathroom.
Ryan was knocking on the door worriedly.
“Are you fine?” He asked.
He couldn’t go in because she locked the door from the inside.
She came out looking all worried.
“What’s up?, Are you fine?” He asked checking her temperature.
“I don’t have a fever and even if I have it would be pregnancy fever” She said.
“What?”
Rose showed him the pregnancy kit in excitement.
“What the F**k!!!” He carried her up in excitement.
“Thanks for making me a father” He giggled turning around.
“Thanks for making me a mom” She chuckled.
Ryan gently placed her down. He knelt down and placed his head on her tummy.
“You can’t really hear anything now*
“I don’t care” He muttered.
She stroked his hair as he wrapped his hands around her.
EPILOGUE*
TWO YEARS LATER*

“Isn’t the night view beautiful?” He asked.
“It is” She said.
Ryan turned. “I love you” He pecked her lips.
“And I love you more” She smiled pecking his lips.
“I love you to the end of the world” He said.
“I love you to moon and back” She poked his cheeks.
He chuckled. “Thanks for accepting me the way I am”.
“I should be saying that, My Muse” She smiled.

Rose chuckled seeing at the look on Ryan’s face. “Isn’t he your son?” She chuckled walking away.
Rose chuckled as their baby held her pinky walking out of the room with her.
“Should we have waited before having a baby?” He said.
“No, Kids are gifts” He shook his head leaving the room.
The End
Last Words
So after all the ups and downs, where do Ryan and Rose stand? Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. They had to face not only each other’s pasts but also the weight of family expectations, secrets, and a whole lot of misunderstandings. But somehow, through all the mess, they found something real, something worth fighting for.
Ryan, the guy who once seemed so unreachable, learned that love isn’t about control or power—it’s about letting someone in, even when it scares the hell out of you. And Rose? She found her strength, realizing that she could stand up for herself and her love, no matter what life threw at her. So, yeah, they made it. And in the end, all those crazy, chaotic moments brought them to a place where they could finally just… be. Together. Happy. And ready for whatever comes next. Because, really, that’s what love is all about, right?
How does that sound? I aimed for a more casual, relatable vibe, like we’re chatting about this wonderful love story.
