Side Story Episode 2

On the day Joo Min-hyeok finally left for his long-postponed overseas tour—delayed time and again due to childcare—Tae-yul happened to come down with a fever. With his temperature soaring, Tae-yul couldn't even support his own body and simply went limp in my arms. Since it was the first time the baby had been sick, I was terribly flustered and heartbroken. How could such a tiny baby have anywhere to be sick…?

I understood exactly what it meant to wish I could be the one sick instead. Even in his limp state, Tae-yul slept with his small hand gripping my collar tightly, his breathing unstable. Because the child was in this state on the very day of the overseas trip, Joo Min-hyeok looked pale and couldn't even bring himself to leave the room.
