Chapter starts at the end of the last one with Joon seeing that Yenipang is with the K Drama star. The news article says that Yenipang rejected his advances at first and told him to come back when he learned Chinese. Then she started to fall for him after he wrote her a love letter in Chinese. The article says that the relationship caused a huge stir in the international media. Joon says that Yenipang kept this relationship a secret from him, but he thanks God that she found a better man. Hani learns about it and she wonders if this is really the Yenipang they know and Joon points out that she’s really popular in China, but even she couldn’t compare to Son Joon Ki’s fame. Hani asks if he regrets letting go of Yenipang since she’s in the league of dating a celebrity like Son Joon Ki? Joon gloats that he’s an even better man since a girl like that managed to fall in love with him. Hani claims he’s acting overconfident and Joon says how great SHE must be for a guy like him to fall in love with her? Hani says there’s no point in discussing it and they kiss. They start acting all lovey dovey and Ran wants to be kissed too so Joon obliges (he calls himself a kissing monster to her).
Hani gets a call from Duk Jin while they’re travelling. He’s trying to tell her that something happened to Sun Gyeong which makes Hani really worried and she asks what’s happening to her? Duk Jin tells her that Sun Gyeong is pregnant which surprises both Hani and Joon. Hani asks if Sun Gyeong is really going to have a child and Joon congratulates them. Duk Jin is passing the phone off to Sun Gyeong and Hani congratulates her from the bottom of her heart. Hani then asks how and when did this happen? Sun Gyeong says that she hasn’t been to the hospital yet, but she’s taken multiple pregnancy tests and they all came back positive. Joon tells Ran that she’s going to have a cousin. Hani tells Sun Gyeong that she’s so proud of her and *if she’s doing okay while on the trip?* Sun Gyeong says that she’s comfortable and she’s eating well and says that she can’t believe an unexpected miracle happened to her. Hani tells her that she’s so happy for her and that she’ll give the phone to Joon. Sun Gyeong tells her to wait a second and that she needs to tell her something. Hani asks if she needs anything? Sun Gyeong tells her that she wants her to listen to what she’s going to say. Sun Gyeong tells Hani that she was out of her mind when she kidnapped Ran which surprises Hani. *Sun Gyeong says that she hasn’t been able to say this until now* in that she never once pictured that her and Joon would end up together. But now she thinks that things have worked out pretty great for them and she hopes that they’ll be happy in the future and apologizes to her. Hani says they’re not strangers.
Hani and Joon are at Hani’s Mom’s house and she’s surprised that Sun Gyeong is pregnant. She’s even more surprised that she didn’t need invitro fertilization for it to happen, but she says the early months of pregnancy are the riskiest. Joon says Sun Gyeong will be alright since she’s being pampered right now with Hani’s dad saying that’s good. Hani’s Mom asks what about the two of them? Joon and Hani are confused and Hani’s Mom asks if they’re just going to have a marriage license and not have a wedding? Hani’s Dad offers to help with costs, but Hani says that they’ll have it later and they’ll take care of it. Joon says they’ll try and do what they can with their own strength. Hani then teases if they should be having another wedding to celebrate her parents reuniting? Her Mom gets embarrassed and claims they’re sleeping in separate rooms and they’re too busy to even see each other that often. Her Dad says he’s just coming over to see Ran’s photos. Joon teases that if that was the case, her Dad should just get a new phone already. Her dad gets angry saying he should be helping him and Joon says he’ll break his cellphone. Hani laughs while her Mom is embarrassed.
The leaves turned yellow and Sun Gyeong ended up getting bad morning sickness and they had to return home a month later. They planned to have a longer trip but life doesn’t always go as planned. While they were travelling, Duk Jin signed a MOU with a publisher in Angouleme, France. Duk Jin is planning on digitizing and creating their own service to sell them online (essentially, he wants to create Lezhin). He plans an alliance with the French company for massive amount of translating and editing. Hani is getting promoted to Design team leader and she’ll have staff working for her which she’s amazed by. Joon is shaking Duk Jin and tells her that’s great. Duk Jin called him a regular employee saying that he has an official title now and that Joon should get one more person for his group. After Duk Jin says things will get busier, Joon asks why is Hani getting promoted and not him considering it’s a family business? Duk Jin tells him that even though she’s a contractor, she’s still worked here much longer than him. If he wants a promotion, he should start working harder. Of course, Hani’s getting a bigger salary so he should treat her with respect. Joon reluctantly accepts and Hani asks him if he knows how much she loves him? Duk Jin says of course and that he’s worthy of love. (Does he not realize all the stuff Joon’s been doing for the company while he was travelling? Give him an effin raise!!)
They’re moving to a new office in May. Joon’s carrying boxes and is frustrated that Duk Jin is trying to make them work like slaves. Joon tells Hani to take it easy while Hani says that she’s fine and she tells Joon to rest or else he’ll get sick. Hani spots The Next Door Neighbor book they published and forgot the ending so she reads through it.
(I gave them nicknames of 4 Eyes, DSG, and Old Lady) 4 Eyes says that it’s the first time he’s been in VIP on a plane and can’t believe they’re going on their Honeymoon. DSG apologizes for leaving like he did before. An Old lady across from them motions to them and asks if DSG is a movie star since she feels like she’s seen his face a lot before? 4 Eyes thinks that they’re busted while DSG claims he just resembles one. The old lady says he’s handsome just like a famous movie star while DSG claims he gets that a lot. Old Lady says this is her first time travelling abroad and asks where the 2 handsome bachelors are going. DSG says they are on their honeymoon and 4 Eyes can’t believe he said it out loud. Old Lady says that’s nice and starts talking about doing whatever it takes to find your path. She’s talking about how paths can have intersections, be straight, or rough like gravel. But you shouldn’t try too hard if that’s the case. And if the path in front of you is foggy and it’s hard to see, don’t worry and just take things slowly step by step. Both of them are affected by her words and she says not to give up because once the fog is lifted, you might have already arrived at your destination.
The book ends with a message that happiness is open to the person you’re with in the moment (kinda hard to translate) The story has an effect on Hani and she tells Joon she wants to have a wedding which surprises Joon.
I’m sorry for the larger than usual amount of likely inaccuracies in this chapter and hopefully I can clear everything up by tomorrow. But here are all the main events
Sun Gyeong miraculously got pregnant and everybody’s happy for her. Sun Gyeong apologizes to Hani for kidnapping Ran along with everything else she’s done and tells Hani that she hopes she and Joon can be happy together. Duk Jin is back and they’re moving to a new office for a huge expansion. Hani is getting promoted but Joon apparently isn’t. After reading the book she translated again, Hani decides that she wants to have a wedding with Joon.
The author confirmed on her blog that the next chapter is the final one. I’m likely going to be late with the translations since next week is Soup Kitchen week so please bare with me.
For anybody that thinks that it’s a deus ex machina that Sun Gyeong got pregnant despite her proclaiming she was sterile, there is an explanation. Her main problem was that one of her fallopian tubes was blocked, but the other one was likely fine. If her egg came out of that one, then it was likely that she could conceive a child. Also, the author replied to me on twitter!
