The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Special Side Story Episode 1

(※This episode takes place between ‘Epilogue 1’ and ‘Epilogue 2’)

My home, that is, the Hei Family Estate, was in an uproar from the morning.

“So, this engagement… think about it again!”

Bang!

“I won’t allow it, I won’t permit it!”

Bang bang!

“Even if dirt gets in my eyes… Puhak! Ack!!”

“Yeah, here’s some dirt. How’s that?”

“Are you crazy?!”

Uncle, Hei Birang, clutched his eyes and jumped around frantically. Of course, I didn’t actually throw dirt at him.

I just threw some medicinal powder that stings the eyes. Since it hit him instantly, it must sting quite a bit.

But…

‘This is self-defense!’

I gritted my teeth.

And for good reason… according to my plan, I should have ten completed medicine bottles by now!

Currently, there are only five bottles sitting on the table. Why, you ask?

‘Because that damn uncle keeps interfering!’

He’s been chattering away beside me so much. I thought I already had nails hammered into my ears, but I learned for the first time that more could be hammered in!

‘Seriously, just stop it already!’

It had been five months since Raon became Emperor.

Since I had to fulfill my role as Family Head at the Hei Family Estate, I couldn’t go to the Imperial Capital.

And Raon couldn’t handle imperial affairs like organizing the Imperial Palace and capital, establishing policies, and other state matters from the Hei Family Estate…

So we ended up living apart from each other.

It was unavoidable.

‘It’s already unfair that we became a long-distance couple right after becoming lovers.’

Instead, no matter how busy Raon was, he used to visit once a month.

But even that stopped since last month because he became too busy, and I haven’t seen him for two months now.

‘…Instead, we’ve grown more affectionate, so it’s not without advantages. The problem is there are more things to miss.’

Right, I thought even this was unavoidable. I could accept it for the sake of the country, but…

I raised my head with sharp eyes.

“Are you really going to keep this up?”

Hei Birang, who had been chattering away enthusiastically, flinched.

“What! What did I, what did I do!”

Uncle here was already shouting “No engagement!” for the 108th time.

He really was a persistent man.

“Stop it already. Just because you say that doesn’t mean the burning relationship between Raon and me will disappear or vanish, you know?”

“What? Burning?! Is there even a chance for it to burn? That fox Little One hasn’t even come here a few times?! Are you really going to go to such an indifferent guy?”

“Go where? He’s busy, what can we do about it. And why Little One? He’s bigger than Uncle now.”

“Gaaaah, to me he’s forever a Little One!”

I let out a hollow laugh as if I was dumbfounded. Fine, let’s give it a try.

I finally put down the medicinal materials from my hands.

“Ah, really. Pay attention to Ayan instead!”

Why are you making a fuss at me when you have your own daughter! Even our Dad doesn’t go this far!

‘Of course, I sometimes see him clear his throat and subtly poke at me! Still!’

But then Mother scolds him so it’s fine.

But this colt-like Uncle, far from maturing…

“I’ll say it as many times as it takes, Family Head, I’ll adopt you as my First Daughter! Break off the engagement! Break it off!”

This was the chaos.

And there was someone who poured oil on this fire.

“Wow, I agree~.”

Clap clap clap.

“Uncle also agrees. If you don’t like that stupid Little Sister over there, become Uncle’s daughter~ Uncle… always welcomes you!”

Uncle, who had been quietly watching Hei Birang’s tantrum, clapped and smiled languidly.

‘Do these people have nothing to do?’

As Family Head, did I give them too little work? What’s ridiculous is that they finish all their own tasks and then come cause this chaos.

Uselessly competent people!

“Ugh, really. Uncle, stop it, and Uncle, stop adding firewood!”

And so Hei Birang’s 109th declaration of support for breaking off the engagement—no, opposition to the engagement—also ended in failure.

“Huuung, Elder Sister, don’t get married…!!”

“…Why are you acting like this too.”

That afternoon. When I went to the office, Ayan jumped into my arms making crying sounds.

Then Ayan lifted her head from my embrace. Far from tears, her face was beaming with smiles.

She was so pretty and cute that I couldn’t help but smile too.

Our giant baby had grown much taller than me, yet she loved to squeeze her body into my arms or tuck her head in.

“Hehe, actually I’m cheering for Elder Sister.”

“Then what was that about?”

“Well, Dad asked me to just say one thing?”

I shook my head back and forth. That man, in his urgency, now even got Ayan involved…

“Dad seems really disappointed. He says he wishes Elder Sister would get married much later when you’re older.”

“At what age?”

“Um… sixty?”

“…Does that man expect to be alive until then? Well, he probably will be.”

Since you received the Dragon’s Blessing.

I made a fed-up expression.

Ayan burst into clear, ringing laughter.

“Well, I’d love it if Raon were my brother too, but Dad’s the weird one. Anyway, I said it!”

“What does Uncle say he’ll do if you say that?”

“Yeah. He said he’d take me to the International Market.”

So there was a deal.

I rested my chin on my hand and couldn’t help but chuckle.

This peacefulness exists because we know each other well, and because we know that our family’s playful opposition is just enjoyable commotion.

* * *

“But sometimes getting worked up is unavoidable.”

The next afternoon.

Today was the day Raon came to the Hei Family Estate after a long time.

I let out a deep sigh and looked to the side. In my hand was a handleless Eastern Continent-style tea cup.

“It interferes with work.”

There sat Raon, holding a tea cup just like me.

“I see. Biyu must have been very bothered and troubled.”

“…Ahem, it wasn’t quite troublesome.”

We were currently sitting side by side on the sofa.

“Anyway, it’s been ages since the declaration, but there’s still chaos even now.”

“Hahaha.”

I glanced at Raon.

Silver hair that had grown a bit longer and softly covered his forehead, shadows cast by long eyelashes. Golden eyes that were pure yet seemed wet with moisture, and even the tear mole dotted precisely beneath them.

‘Enchanting, so enchanting…’

It was stunning beauty no matter when I looked. Sacred yet bewitching—wasn’t there a saying about beauty that could topple nations?

Our Raon truly has beauty that could bring down a country…

“What are you thinking about?”

“Hmm…”

I rolled my eyes slightly.

“What fortune I must have had in my past life to meet such a beautiful partner?”

Raon smiled. Truly, even that expression was as pure as dew formed at dawn.

However, in contrast to this, Raon’s body sitting next to me was just so large. No, it seemed like he’d grown a bit more during our brief separation.

“I’m the one who should say that. My lover is so pretty… I’m always worried. What if someone else steals you away?”

“That won’t happen.”

“Really?”

When those deep eyes that seemed to hold tears turned toward me, I clutched my heart with an “ugh.”

Please restrain the beauty attacks a bit…

“First of all, no one of the opposite sex can come near me except you. Do you know how many layers of bodyguards there are…”

Starting with Brother Gyewon, then Uncle and Uncle. And finally, even Dad is here….

‘Honestly, if it weren’t for Raon, would I have even been able to date?’

It was natural to have such thoughts sometimes. Whether it was because I was sick as a child, all the men in the family had become daughter-crazy and niece-crazy with severe overprotectiveness.

Of course it’s nice. It’s just annoying sometimes.

Raon made a bewildered expression. It was a sign of agreement.

“Mm, that is a good thing though….”

“Right?”

“It’s probably because everyone likes you, Biyu.”

Raon, who had put down his tea cup, carefully touched my cheek.

“But I like you the most.”

I smiled slightly at the whining that had a faint hint of jealousy.

My lover is even cute.

Because before I knew it, pure white ears had popped out on top of Raon’s head.

“Sometimes I feel a little… regretful….”

“…Raon?”

I blinked at the beautiful face that had somehow come closer. I slowly closed my eyes for a moment.

No, I was about to close them….

Bang!

If only the door hadn’t burst open.

I stared at the door in shock.

“…Dad?”

Through the wide open door, Dad was standing there like some kind of totem pole.

“Visiting hours are over.”

More than that, visiting hours?

…Since when was I a criminal?
