La jalousie est l'ombre de l'amour, elle grandit avec lui

Translation: "Jealousy is the shadow of love, it grows with it."

As the car glided to a graceful halt in front of the magnificent mansion, the hands of the clock had already danced past 8 pm. With a soft click, the doors opened, and the duo stepped out, their footsteps echoing against the marble pathway leading to the grand entrance.

Wrapped in the cool night breeze, they walked silently. It had been a hectic day, filled with errands and appointments in preparation for their upcoming wedding.

They met with their wedding planner, whose excitement reached new heights. Despite the blonde's minimal effort, the planner overflowed with creative ideas, prolonging the meeting beyond the usual duration.

After the two completed the identification process, the grand door of the mansion creaked open, beckoning them inside. Stepping across the threshold into the front hall, they were greeted by the maid's warm smile as she offered a polite, "Welcome, young masters," before bustling off towards the kitchen.

Their footsteps whispered softly against the polished marble floors as they ventured through the hallway towards the living room. Among the plush furnishings, they spotted Hyunjin's parents, comfortably seated on the couch.

As the approaching footsteps reached her ears, the lady looked up, her tired expression swiftly transforming into one of delight upon seeing the two entering the room. Rising from her seat with a squeal, she hurried over to the blonde, "Omo, son, you're here!"

Despite the weariness etched on his face, the younger managed a tired yet affectionate smile as he hastened towards the lady, enveloping her in a tight embrace and burying his face in the warmth of her neck. "Eomma, I'm hungry," he murmured softly.

With a gentle chuckle, the lady lovingly patted his back. "I know, sweetheart. I've prepared all your favorite dishes. Come, let's eat together. We've been waiting for you both."

The mention of her cooking ignited a spark of excitement in the blonde's eyes. Pulling away from the embrace, he wasted no time in making his way to the dining area, his steps quickening with excitement. Chuckling affectionately, the lady trailed behind, her heart swelling with fondness.

As Hyunjin observed the heartwarming scene unfolding before him, a wave of nostalgia washed over him. It had been far too long since he had experienced such familial warmth and affection in their interaction.

The younger used to spend a lot of time in the mansion. The cooking sessions with his mom were a daily occurrence, where the ravenette would volunteer as the taste tester for their cooking adventures. With a soft sigh, he made his way towards the dining area, his dad setting aside his magazine to join the family.

"Mmmh, I've missed your cooking, Eomma. It's delicious," the blonde murmured, savoring each bite of his wonton noodles. The lady's grin widened as she nodded in satisfaction, her eyes twinkling. "Eat as much as you want, everything's for you. You've gotten so skinny. What were they feeding you in Australia?"

The blonde shook his head, setting down his chopsticks for a moment as he took a sip of water. "After Lino Hyung left, it was just Jisung and me. Since I prefer cooking myself over relying on a maid, most of the time when I got busy with my studies, I ended up ordering takeout. I couldn't trust Jisung with the kitchen. At one point, Hyung started staying with us, and he ended up doing most of the cooking."
