Flowers Are Bait

Chapter 256:

The two of them sprawled out on the sofa and dozed off. It almost felt like three or four people were sleeping together, prompting laughter from Lee-yeon.

With a baby in her belly, the large figure of Kwon Chae-woo occupied the space of two people.

As they lay facing each other, Lee-yeon shifted uncomfortably due to his penis stabbing against her belly.

Chae-woo, this is uncomfortable.

Why?

Why? Because it keeps touching my belly

Dont avoid it.

As Lee-yeon tried to move away, Kwon Chae-woo tightly grabbed her waist. Despite the sharp eyes, his voice was filled with bitterness.

My childs hometown is mine.

Wouldnt the baby be happy to see me in it?

Just then, a sounda rumble from Lee-yeons belly startled them. Surprised, she opened her eyes wide, hastily grabbing Kwon Chae-woos hand. Through their overlapping palms, she felt a faint vibration once again. It was a quick movement for 17 weeks.

Chae-woo, just now!

Kwon Chae-woo was frozen stiff, unable to even breathe. The man, frozen with shock and disbelief, didnt blink. It wasnt until the fetal movement surged again that he finally exhaled, seemingly holding his breath.

He looked at Lee-yeons face, which was brightly smiling, as if he couldnt believe it. His heart pounded like a babys awkward footsteps. Goosebumps rose on his back, and blood rushed fiercely.

It was almost embarrassing to say it tickled, but undoubtedly, that was the most shocking movement for Kwon Chae-woo.

He kissed Lee-yeons belly all over, silently apologizing. He wouldnt say anymore that that the baby could be held by someone elses hands. Who would entrust such a cute thing to someone else?

Kwon Chae-woo struggled against the overwhelming flood of ordinary sensations, searching for Lee-yeons lips once again.

In this way, the two of them spent worry-free days, eating, sleeping, and playing to their hearts content.

Everytime Lee-yeons head nodded off, Kwon Chae-woo promptly lifted her and took her to the bedroom.

***

Lee-yeon exclaimed, thinking about the saplings that might have grown there! She looked at Kwon Chae-woo, who straightened his back and threw a disappointed gaze.

Did you plan to leave it like this unattended?

Uh

Unable to answer, she looked at Kwon Chae-woo, who raised one corner of his mouth coldly.

I knew you would react like that.

Lee-yeon felt infuriated by the expression that seemed to mock her.

Anyway, even if you dig there, only pieces of debris will come out. Whats the point of! No matter how much you dig, you wont find anything useful! And for heavens sake, take off those clothes! From now on, Mr. Kwon Chae-woo, anything black at night, including raincoats, shovels, knives, axes, all of them are strictly prohibited!

At her words, Kwon Chae-woo quickly peeled the raincoat hood and threw a meaningful glance.

Do you wish you had something more to bury?

What?

At that moment, the man who dug his own grave pulled out something and examined the wooden craft under the moonlight.

Ah, it didnt rot after all.

The man who walked slowly towards Lee-yeon put the cold and damp object into her palms.

It was the wooden ornament he had carved into a flower before and given to her.

But still, isnt it better to dig something on a night like this than to bury someone?

Lee-yeon was speechless.

But, Lee-yeon, if you cant use my tools at night, it means I should just use my body, right? But it seems impossible now so I resort to this.

Frustrated by the man who only talked nonsense, Lee-yeon stomped on his foot and ran away. As she did, Kwon Chae-woo, who seemed to enjoy the whole scene, took out his phone from his pocket.

And the next morning.

W-What is this!

Various shining gifts, such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, brooches, were hanging like ornaments on the trees in the front yard.
