Seol-ah steadied her racing heart and picked up the ring case on the far left.

Hwi-gang wore a relaxed expression as if he was watching something amusing unfold.

Slowly, Seol-ah lifted the lid of the ring case.

“!”

Her eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly in surprise.

“Oh my, this looks like a car key!”

Seol-ah didn’t know exactly what the key to a LaFerrari looked like, but she could tell it was a car key.

“Do you remember the red sports car we saw in the garage earlier?”

“Of course, I remember—Ahh!” she exclaimed as the realization hit her.

Seol-ah, in the middle of replying, was so shocked that she lost her balance and fell flat on her bottom. Hwi-gang clicked his tongue in mild exasperation and reached down to help her back up.

“Is it really that surprising?” he asked, trying to suppress a chuckle.

“This… this car costs hundreds of millions of won, and you’re giving it to me?”

Seol-ah stammered, still trying to wrap her head around it.

“You’re not even at the most shocking part yet.”

“What?”

“That’s the cheapest out of the three boxes here.”

“!”

Seol-ah was utterly speechless, her heart pounding so hard she had to take several deep breaths to steady herself. A sports car worth at least 300 million won was the cheapest one here? The realization left her completely stunned, her mind struggling to comprehend what the other two boxes could contain.

“Are you serious? If you’re teasing me, please stop. I’m getting dizzy,” Seol-ah said, trying to steady herself.

“I’m teasing you, but I’m not lying,” Hwi-gang replied with a playful grin.

At his teasing remark, Seol-ah pouted and glared at him with narrowed eyes. “Let’s hurry up and move on. I’m hungry. The food’s going to get cold.”

“Food?”

She echoed, her curiosity piqued. Now that he mentioned it, she realized she’d been smelling something delicious for a while. She had assumed the scent was coming from a neighbor’s house.

“Dinner’s set up in the dining room, so hurry up and open the next box.”

Hwi-gang urged, giving her a knowing, slightly cynical glance as he motioned with his eyes toward the boxes.

Seol-ah placed her hand over her chest, trying to calm her pounding heart. Taking a deep breath, she reached for the next box. After glancing at Hwi-gang to gauge his reaction, she slowly lifted the lid.

“!” 

As expected, it was a ring—a stunning diamond ring, not just any ring for couples, but a formal engagement ring.

“Let me see, I’ll put it on for you.”

Seol-ah, too stunned to speak, handed over the box. Hwi-gang carefully took out the ring and held it between his fingers.

“This is called the Queen’s Tear,” he explained. “There are only three of these diamonds in the world. One belongs to the Russian royal family, another is housed in the Monique Kingdom’s museum, and the third… is this.”

“H-Hwi-gang… How could I possibly accept something so incredible? How much is this even worth?”

“Does the price really matter?” he replied, raising an eyebrow. “You just told me a little while ago that the value isn’t what’s important.”

“But… this is just too much…” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Don’t feel burdened,” Hwi-gang reassured her. “This ring was a wedding gift to my late mother, given to her by my grandfather. In other words, it’s a family tradition, passed down to the daughters-in-law of the Kang family. The original owner was my late grandmother.”

“!” 

Seol-ah blinked, wide-eyed, completely dazed by Hwi-gang’s words.

“Can I really accept something like this?”

“Of course,” Hwi-gang replied calmly. “Saying you can’t accept this ring is like rejecting my proposal.”

“No, I’ll marry you,” she said quickly. “But I really can’t accept this ring, I’m not worthy of it.”

“You’re already worthy,” Hwi-gang insisted gently. “You accepted my proposal—that’s all the qualification you need.”

Hwi-gang firmly yet tenderly took Seol-ah’s hand, despite her hesitant attempts to pull away, and slid the ring onto her fourth finger. She didn’t know how many carats it was, but the diamond was undeniably large, radiating elegance.

Tears welled up in Seol-ah’s eyes as she stared at the radiant diamond sparkling on her finger. When a single tear fell onto the diamond, it suddenly reflected a cascade of rainbow hues, as if capturing the depth of her emotions in that fleeting moment. It felt surreal as if the ring itself had come alive in response to her feelings.

Hwi-gang gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. “See? It suits you perfectly,” he said softly, his voice filled with warmth and certainty.

“That’s why it’s called the Queen’s Tear. When it is touched by tears, it not only glows brighter but also reflects rainbow colors. It’s the first time I’ve seen it like this – thanks to you my Seol-ah”.

The way he kept calling her “my Seol-ah” made her heart flutter so much that she thought she might lose her mind.

“Alright, we’re almost done. Go ahead and open the last box.”

This time, Seol-ah didn’t hesitate and opened the final box. As she expected, inside was a key card.

“It’s the key to this villa, isn’t it?”

“Exactly. This is the key to our newlywed home. The furniture hasn’t been brought in yet—I left that part for you to enjoy. Well, except for the dining table. I had to buy that so we could eat tonight. If you don’t like it, we can replace it later.” 

At Hwi-gang’s words, Seol-ah wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. In response, Hwi-gang lifted her in his arms.

“Let’s eat. I’m starving, and I might just pass out here. After dinner, we can test out the bed.”

“Test out the bed?”

Seol-ah repeated, confused. She’d heard of test-driving a car, but testing a bed was a new one for her. Yet, she understood exactly what he meant.

“Yeah, I had to pick out the bed myself since we’ll be using it soon. If we want to give my grandfather a grandchild quickly, we’ll have to put in some effort.”

Hwi-gang’s words made Seol-ah’s face flush bright red.

Later that night, as promised, the bed “test drive” began just as Hwigung had suggested.

“Ooh, that tickles.”   

“Ticklish? How about this?”

Hwi-gang asked, taking her n*pple between his fingertips and twisting it around. 

“Ouch!”   

Hwi-gang s*cked her n*pple harder and slid his hand down to swirl his fingers around her already-soaked p*ssy.   

Seol-ah’s hips bucked and her juices flowed even more as Hwi-gang’s finger thrusts quickened. 

When her p*ssy was completely soaked to the point of gurgling, he pulled his finger out.   

Hwi-gang pulled back his juice-soaked fingers, grabbed his own throbbing p*nis, and brought it to Seol-ah’s p*ssy. Her juice-soaked p*ssy easily swallowed Hwi-gang’s massive p*nis.

Puck, puck, puck, puck, puck. 

“Hah! Hah!”   

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak.   

“Hmph!”   

The bed shook quite a bit, even though he’d chosen the firmest bed he could find, expecting it to shake a lot.  As the bed shook, Seol-ah quickly reached org*sm and let out a loud, erotic scream.   

Hwi-gang had never believed in the idea of compatibility, but after meeting Seol-ah and having s*x with her, he realized that there definitely is compatibility. Nowadays, just thinking about Seol-ah makes him h*rny.   

His s*x drive has never been stronger.   

“Don’t go alone this time, okay?”

Hwi-gang gently tugged at Seol-ah’s earlobe, speaking in a subtly commanding tone. Seol-ah, tears welling up from the intensity, turned her head and glared at Hwi-gang as if accusing him.

“What am I supposed to do when you tell me not to after you made me feel like this?” 

“Huh? Was it so good that you couldn’t stop yourself?” 

“I don’t know.” 

When Seol-ah pouted and puffed out her cheeks in frustration, Hwi-gang felt a surge of pleasure, as if someone had pressed his pleasure button. 

“Shall we see if you still ‘don’t know’?” 

Before he could continue, Seol-ah quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. Soon Hwi-gang’s movements resumed and Seol-ah’s body rocked helplessly in response.

10 p.m.

Jung-jae, utterly exhausted, pushed open the front door and stumbled inside.

“Babe take a look at this. It’s really frustrating.”

Completely worn out and barely holding it together, Jung-jae didn’t even have a moment to catch his breath. Instead of helping him with his bag and coat after his long day, his wife thrust her phone in front of his face.

“Whoever this woman is, she must have saved a country in her past life. Look at this diamond ring. It’s got to be at least 5 carats, right?”

He wondered what had her so worked up, only to realize it was a proposal video from some third-generation chaebol that had gone viral on social media.
