The younger man's direct approach
51
“Husband....“
"Yes, sister."
"..I see....I'm scared..."
“..It must hurt a lot...?”
“What if... what if... something goes wrong with the child...?”
"Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of. That will never happen."
My due date was really fast approaching. The contractions were getting more intense, and I felt like I was going to give birth soon... So I rushed to the hospital room and was admitted right away. I wondered if the baby would be born safely, if both I and the baby would be okay. I tried not to think about it, but I couldn't get it out of my head. It was cute that Jungkook was worried, but he tried not to show it because he thought it would make me even more worried. Thanks to that, I think my mind has calmed down a lot.
“You’re shaking more… Babu…”
"How can I not worry, it's my wife and my children."
"But I still believe that nothing will happen to our family."
“Our family will be together for the rest of our lives, right?”
"Don't worry about anything, just go to sleep."
Yes, even if that were the case... there would never be any misfortune for our family. Our family would only be happy, so I've decided not to think about such things in the future. I think it would be better for all of us to think positively about things like what to do if a child is born during a time of negative thoughts, and how to avoid trouble with Jungkook.
“Good night... Guga..”
“Yeah, if you’re sick, be sure to wake me up.”
"..okay.."
“...Day and night, can't you sleep?”
"..Hug me..I like your embrace the best."
"...Wouldn't that be uncomfortable? What if my stomach gets pressed?"
"Err... I can sleep well only when you hug me..."
“..Come here, let’s get some good sleep today.”
Gugi tidied up Yeoju's hair, gently stroked her stomach, and patted her. When he saw Yeoju falling asleep, he followed suit and fell asleep.
“Ugh..! Hehe...”
"It's okay... Take a breath..."
"Gu-ga... ugh... it hurts so much..."
“When... turn off... when do I go in...?”
“..The nurse..told me to wait a moment...”
“Just a little longer... Let’s hold on.. okay?”
It was five days before her due date. The due date is just a due date, and she could be born a few days before or after... I hadn't thought about it. She was fine just two days ago, so I never imagined she would suddenly be in this much pain. I felt even more sorry, and all I could do was cry. My sister was in so much pain, and all I could do was hold her hand and tell her it was okay. I really wanted to cry, and tears welled up in my eyes, but I tried to stop myself because I was afraid that if I cried, she would suffer even more.
“Mother Goyeoju! I’ll go in now!”
“..! Are you going now..?”
“Yes, yes! Father, please come in when I call you later!”
“...Honey...Cheer up...I love you.”
"..Yeah.. Kkuga.. Kkeut.... I love you too..“
Finally, I went into the delivery room. While my sister was in labor, I wanted her to give birth quickly, but once I actually went in, I was scared. Nothing will happen... Our baby will be born healthy... Our Yeoju too... Nothing will happen... It has to be that way... I heard somewhere that giving birth is a life-threatening risk. Please... When I went into the delivery room... I hoped that Yeoju and the baby would be healthy.
Oh my god-!!!!!
”...!“
"Father, come in!"
"..ugh..ugh..! Noo,naa...sobㅠㅠㅠ"
“..idiot...haha why are you crying..”
They came in to cut the umbilical cord. The child was a truly handsome boy. How could he have looked so much like me and my sister? I hadn't noticed when I was so focused on the child, but my sister was drenched in sweat, her hair sticking to her face, and she had lost so much weight. I was so sorry, and the tears just kept flowing, unstoppable, because she was still here in front of me.
“Good job.. I did it...”
“I was able to endure it because you did well for me.. haha”
“Our team... worked so hard..”
“..Thank you..I really love you..Jungkook.”
“...I love you more... Really.....”
“I don’t know if there will be three or four in the future, but let’s live happily as a family.”
