The staff showed him the rings.
Yoongyo pointed to a ring on the lighted exhibition table.
“This ring.”
“The dol ring? Usually people come to buy it before the first birthday party. There are numerous rings with stunning designs, and because they are crafted from pure gold, they are suitable for children.”
“Please handle it with care.”
“This proposal ring design is highly popular. The company’s products are of premium quality.”
“Pack the rings.”
He didn’t understand why people exchanged rings when they promised something.
He had lost his mind.
Yoongyo let out a sigh as he walked out with the shopping bag.
Their relationship wouldn’t change. But why not follow what everyone else was doing?
—When a woman wears a ring, people recognize that she is married.
If Gwangmyeong hadn’t said that, he wouldn’t have behaved so pathetically. He could not show the marks on his body when a man approached her, so he decided to give her an engagement ring.
He quietly made his way home.
Yoongyo assumed that she had taken a nap.
Lately Jumi slept more. He approached her, who was lying on the couch.
“Have you arrived?”
Her voice was sleepy.
When she rubbed her eyes, he handed her the shopping bag.
“What’s this?”
“Chains.”
“Chains?”
She opened the shopping bag in fear. She was afraid he had bought an iron chain, but her eyes got bigger as soon as she saw the ring. Yoongyo was not such a cruel man to place a shackle on a pregnant woman.
“I’ve been told that this ring is given to the person you wish to spend your life with.”
“Does this mean I’ll die if I try to escape?”
Jumi inquired about the precise meaning.
“It’s just a reminder.”
“But we live together now, why are you doing this?”
When she pulled out the dol ring, her eyes filled with tears.
“I’ll try my best to hide it from our peanut that daddy is bad.”
“Thank you.”
It looked like the baby’s name would be peanut. She hugged the baby’s ring.
“Yoongyo.”
There really were two peanuts.
He hugged her.
