We are parents
๐น-Dad, are you okay?



์ด์นํ
"Honey... are you okay...?"


๊น์์ง
"Ugh... I feel so sick..."

Dad's condition doesn't look good since this morning.


์ด์นํ
"I'm fine, but why is my brother like that..."


๊น์์ง
"Yeah, why am I the one with morning sickness.. haha"

My father was diagnosed with a syndrome called 'Couvade Syndrome'.

Couvade syndrome is a condition in which a husband experiences the pain of childbirth similar to that of his wife, usually morning sickness.


๊น์์ง
"Honey, you need to eat breakfast."


์ด์นํ
"Honey, just stay there, I can take care of it."

Seunghyun's mother, who is now in her fifth month of pregnancy, has started to feel nauseated and her belly is starting to grow.

My dad still can't sleep or eat well because of the extremely bad morning sickness.


์ด์นํ
"I'll put some ice in the plum tea, so drink that and stay a while."


๊น์์ง
"huh..."


์ด์นํ
"Oh my... when will that go away..."

Seunghyun's mom was worried about Seokjin's dad, who was having a hard time.


์ด์นํ
"Honey, take this."


๊น์์ง
"huh..."


์ด์นํ
"Why are your eyes red..? Did you cry?"


๊น์์ง
"No..."

My dad has been crying a lot since he got Couvade syndrome.


์ด์นํ
"Why did you do that? Huh?"


๊น์์ง
"I don't know...I'm crying..."


์ด์นํ
"Ugh... (Sigh_) I'm going to the studio to eat."


๊น์์ง
"yes..."

Mom, who knew that Dad didn't want the children to see him like this, sent him to the workshop.


๊น์ง์๐น
"Um...Mom..."


๊น์ง์ฐ๐น
"What's wrong with Mom...?"


์ด์นํ
"Huh? Did you sleep well?"


์ด์นํ
"Mom's cooking, go inside and play."


๊น์ง์๐น
"Dad's eyes..?"


์ด์นํ
"Dad is in the studio."


๊น์ง์ฐ๐น
"Are you still sick..?"


์ด์นํ
"Yeah, Dad, you're really tired right now, so don't look for me and just play, okay?"


๊น์ง์ฐ๐น
"yes..."


๊น์ง์๐น
"I know..."

Knowing that their father was not in good health, Jinseo and Jinwoo were upset that their father was having a hard time since morning.

Meanwhile, in the studio

The small work desk I set up at home for my dad's work is filled with parenting books.


๊น์์ง
"Haa... It's so different from when I was a baby."


๊น์์ง
"The little finger is now 5 months old..."

Dad started studying about babies again while drinking plum tea.


๊น์์ง
"Hmm... I can hear the heartbeat now and the baby is moving."


๊น์์ง
"I'm taking iron supplements... and I need to change my underwear."

Dad studied hard, taking notes in his notebook.


๊น์์ง
"I forgot everything. I knew everything."

"Honey, come out!"

Mom called Dad from the kitchen.


๊น์์ง
"Okay... I'll go...!"


๊น์์ง
"Whew..."


๊น์์ง
"...."


์ด์นํ
"Are you okay...?"


์ด์นํ
"I made fried rice, which you like."


๊น์์ง
"hmm..."

Mom was worried about Dad, so she made his favorite fried rice.


์ด์นํ
"You don't feel sick, do you...?"


๊น์์ง
"Yeah, it smells delicious."


์ด์นํ
"Oh...thank goodness."


๊น์ง์๐น
"Dad, come quickly!"


๊น์ง์ฐ๐น
"It's super delicious!!"


๊น์์ง
"Okay, let's eat."


๊น์์ง
"I'll eat well~"

That night


๊น์์ง
"Honey, come here."


์ด์นํ
"Yeah"

Every night before going to bed, Seokjin's father would massage his mother with oil.


์ด์นํ
"Honey, you're not feeling well because of the smell of oil, are you..?"


๊น์์ง
"No, it's okay. It smells good."


์ด์นํ
"But I'm afraid my head will hurt."


๊น์์ง
"No, it's not like that."


์ด์นํ
"Thank goodness..."


๊น์์ง
"This scent is the scent that came from you when I first met you."


์ด์นํ
"Huh..? Remember that..?"


๊น์์ง
"Of course."


๊น์์ง
"How could I forget, I fell in love with you all at once."


์ด์นํ
"Ah haha โโwhat the heck..."


๊น์์ง
"It's done now. I'll put the kids to bed and go."


์ด์นํ
"Yeah, okay."

Dad went out to the living room and then to the children's room, and then came back again not long after.


์ด์นํ
"Huh? It's time for you to sleep, why are you here?"


๊น์ง์ฐ๐น
"Our little finger is reading a book!"


๊น์ง์๐น
"Today is the ugly duckling!"


๊น์์ง
"Hahahaha our twins... can't be stopped..."


์ด์นํ
"Haha guys, come here"

Jinseo and Jinwoo sat on either side of their mother and read a book to their youngest, Yangji.

After reading the book, your family chatted away and then fell into dreamland.

Today was a happy day too
