The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Special Side Story Episode 2

It was absurd.

“A visit? You’re talking like he’s some kind of prisoner…”

At my words, Dad looked toward the other side instead of at me.

“The prisoner is over there.”

Dad’s gaze turned toward Raon. His already cold eyes became even sharper, treating him like a thief who had stolen some family heirloom. It became even more absurd.

– Hehehe, how amusing.

Mother floated beside Dad in her semi-transparent form, patting his shoulder and unable to contain her laughter.

‘Mother, please try to stop him…’

Mother seemed to notice my gaze and smoothly flew through the air toward me.

– But baby.

Her voice was full of laughter.

– The stronger the trials, the longer love lasts, you know?

No, don’t project your own experiences onto us!

Who wants trials? We went through plenty of them before dealing with that Crown Prince!

‘I want a sweet and happy romance! Something innocent!’

However, contrary to my cozy imagination, Raon was called away by Dad.

Of course, this wasn’t the first time. It was a happening that occurred every time Raon visited here.

‘How does he never skip even once…’

I didn’t stop it because Raon said it was fine. He always went actively.

‘He’s Biyu’s father, but he’s also my benefactor.’

‘Still.’

‘It’s okay, Biyu. He treats me better than I expected.’

Right, in a little while Raon would finish his conversation with Dad and come back to me.

Actually, I knew Dad did this to have a talk with Raon.

I roughly knew what kind of conversation they had too. Because Raon would tell me about it without hiding much.

Since both Raon and I, who had just become adults, probably looked young to Dad and the family elders.

The main topic seemed to be about marriage.

‘Well, mostly he seems to hear things like engagement is unavoidable but marriage should be delayed…’

Besides that, there were talks about what kind of wedding dress would suit me (apparently they talked for a full 3 hours), or giving him a list of things I like (when did he even write that?).

Anyway, it seemed Raon was experiencing the strange phenomenon of being told to marry late while already being made to prepare for marriage.

Well, all of that is fine.

But really, does it make sense to keep my boyfriend, whom I only see once a month, occupied for this long?!

I understand the sentiment!

Wedding preparations, I’m all for it! After all, I’m going to spend my whole life with Raon anyway.

I know that…

‘But anger keeps building up.’

Since this wasn’t the first or second time this happened, it wasn’t anger that had built up over just a day or two.

And so we unintentionally became Romeo and Juliet. But the adults probably didn’t know.

How big the flames could grow the more they opposed us, or the more they created these kinds of incidents.

* * *

When Raon, who had become Emperor, first came to the Hei Family Estate, he would stay for about a week before returning.

But as the months passed, both the frequency of his visits and the duration of his stays decreased.

Probably even coming to the Hei Family Estate itself was something Sylvester, the prime minister, tearfully tried to dissuade him from, but he came anyway.

So he couldn’t stay long.

“Next time I’ll come to you.”

“No, it’s too far. I’ll come instead.”

Raon strongly opposed it, so until now Raon had been the one coming. But I made up my mind. Next time I would definitely surprise Raon!

Time passed and the day for Raon to return to the Imperial Palace approached.

The evening before.

“…”

I was in a very low mood.

Seeing my state during the day, both Uncle and Uncle quietly avoided me. (They had come to oppose us again. Damn humans. I was sure they were enjoying this now.)

I could feel Dad being cautious during dinner too.

‘Tomorrow Raon will leave, but we couldn’t spend proper time together!’

By now I knew that the family members were half-jokingly interfering with Raon and me.

But seeing him after not one month but two months, and having it turn out like this, my head was starting to boil a little.

A few hours later, entering my room, I puffed out my cheeks.

‘Should I really just send them all to sinecure positions?’

No wait, if I send them to sinecures, they’ll just have more time. Maybe I should send them to the busiest places and work them hard for about 3 years.

I shook my head back and forth.

‘No, that’s not right.’

The truth was that I was the one feeling regretful. Whether it was Dad, Uncle, or Uncle, they had interfered playfully.

They hadn’t crossed the line as if they were aging backwards.

Especially since Mother was beside Dad, she had blocked him well too.

For example, on the day Mother briefly left her seat, Dad had kept Raon for 3 whole hours.

When Mother returned and saw that, she scolded him quite severely. So the same thing didn’t happen again after that.

‘I guess I’m…’

Feeling upset about this situation.

It was also a bit unfamiliar.

I had definitely thought being apart for a while would be okay. Since it was only temporary.

Hadn’t we promised to endure hardship for just a few years and spend the remaining time peacefully?

Even though I said that myself….

‘I guess I like Raon more than I thought.’

The realization came a step behind. I let out a small sigh and looked at the window.

The pitch-black night. It would be dawn soon.

I thought about going to see Raon, but I shook my head. He would have gone to sleep early since he had a long journey ahead tomorrow.

‘I can’t disturb him.’

Instead.

I clenched my hands tightly.

‘I need to make time quickly. As fast as possible.’

This time, I’ll definitely go to the Imperial Palace myself.

When that time comes, I’ll leave Dad, Uncle, and Uncle behind…!

Definitely.

The burning passion was brief as I lay down weakly on the bed.

I needed to sleep early to see Raon off, but my eyes wouldn’t close easily.

‘Should I just do some medicine preparation, or maybe some work….’

It was when I was thinking this.

Tap tap.

What’s that sound?

Too lazy to think, I just blinked my eyes while lying down.

Tap tap tap.

Bam-bam noticed something strange before I did. He slipped out from my arm and shook his head excitedly.

“Bam-bam?”

He looked happy.

There were only certain people Bam-bam was happy to see, and this most welcoming expression was….

I bolted upright.

Without hesitation, I opened the closed window.

“Ah, it opened.”

The deep blue night. Under the sky where indigo and blue mixed dimly. With silver hair dyed in sky blue.

Raon was there.

“…Raon?”

“Yeah. May I come in?”

I hurriedly stepped aside. Raon climbed over the windowsill and entered the room.

I could feel the night’s chill through his thin nightgown. Not caring about such things, I immediately pulled Raon into my arms.

I could feel his large body flinch completely.

“Bi, Biyu?”

“Yeah….”

I looked up while still holding him.

“I missed you.”

“….”

“I was just thinking about you, how did you know to come? It’s amazing.”

“….”

As I grinned widely, Raon covered his lips with the back of his hand and slowly turned his head away.

“My… tail almost, came out.”

His tail? That would be fine too. It’s fluffy after all. I smiled even more broadly.

“How did you get here? Actually, you don’t have to tell me. I wanted to go too, but I thought you’d be sleeping.”

“There’s no way I could sleep.”

Raon’s large hands pulled me into an embrace.

“…I don’t want to be apart.”

His voice was affectionate and warm, like he was being petulant.

There was a scent of the cool night air.

“When I think about having to part with you again, I can’t fall asleep at all.”

…So he felt the same way I did.

We stayed embraced like that for a while before moving to the bed. Sitting side by side, we began chatting quietly together.

Normally we would have had a cup of warm tea. But we couldn’t go out to call for someone, and even the time to brew tea ourselves felt too precious to waste.

“Biyu. Should I stay here for just a few more days before leaving?”

“Oh, would that be okay?”

“…Yes!”

I could tell from the answer that came after a moment of silence. Even though he was smiling as if nothing was wrong, I could see through it.

“It’s not possible, is it.”

“….”

Well, Sylvester would cause an uproar. It’s not just a problem for him as the prime minister either.

He said Raon was indispensable because of all the reforms being pushed forward.

And since most of those reforms were related to the discrimination against Oriental People that had been rampant in this Empire.

In the end, Raon was working hard for my sake.

“Having a capable lover is also a troublesome thing.”

“Hmm, that’s what I wanted to say….”

Raon lowered his head and lightly pressed his lips to my cheek.

“I’ve been thinking that for a very, very long time.”

“….”

“Biyu is a Genius Physician who can even bring the dead back to life.”

At the embarrassing praise, I quietly averted my eyes.

If it were someone else, it might be different, but when Raon praised me with such an affectionate voice that was warm like spring sunshine, almost melting.

One side of my heart tickled so much I couldn’t bear it.

Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.

“Ahaha, stop it. It tickles….”

“Mm….”

Kiss.

After Raon kissed my cheek a few more times, this time he moved to my forehead, then to the tip of my nose. And then to the tip of my chin….

His lips moved down.

“….”

Our eyes met in the air. We didn’t say anything to each other, but we could tell.

That we were thinking the exact same thing.

Raon’s lips slowly descended onto mine. This soft sensation was something I would never forget for the rest of my life.

How long had we been kissing while I felt my cheeks burning up?

Raon’s eyes suddenly snapped open.

I opened my eyes a beat later too.

Thud.

“…Footsteps.”

“Huh?”

“Biyu, someone’s coming.”

“…!”

Once I became aware of it, the footsteps felt even clearer. And they were very close!
