“I was going to sleep on the sofa because I was angry earlier.”
“You said you weren’t angry.”
“I can’t be angry anymore. I’m scared of Yoo Sori now.”
As Hyunwoo pushed his arm under Sori’s head, he lay down on the mattress.
Sori hugged his body tightly.
With his chin down, he placed his lips on her forehead. His hand, gently stroking her belly, felt incredibly soft and warm.
“I hope our little beans are growing well?”
“Probably. Should I take a look?”
Hyunwoo suddenly sat up, placing his upper body against Sori’s belly.
“Grow up well and let’s meet soon.”
Sori’s body twitched a little with the breath, feeling ticklish, and her heart area became tingly as if feathers were caught.
“Why don’t you call it by a nickname?”
“Oh, right. I forgot. Alkong, Dalkong, Byeolkong.”
Calling out nicknames one by one, Hyunwoo kissed Sori’s belly button three times. Inwardly, he prayed,
Please, don’t make Mom suffer too much.
The upcoming weekend.
Seongjae’s studio was bustling with activity.
It was for the modest party prepared to celebrate Sori’s pregnancy.
Beside Seongjae, who had been busy in the kitchen all day, stood a helper for the preparations. It was Suhyeong.
The atmosphere became awkward as Kangwoo, who had been there with a schedule, left.
“You can’t eat much because of morning sickness, but why go through all this trouble?”
“Why can’t I eat? I want to eat something if I can.”
“If morning sickness is like hers, can’t she eat anything other than fruit or salad?”
“…….”
Seongjae’s busy hands came to a sudden stop.
He naturally felt sorry for not being there for Suhyeong when she had Sori.
“Have you had severe morning sickness too?”
“It was terrible. I was nervous about having a sensitive daughter.”
“…….”
Seongjae’s expression visibly stiffened. It was an expression of not knowing what to do with the guilt.
Seeing through this, Suhyeong casually continued.
“It wasn’t hard at all. I don’t eat much anyway. Rather, after morning sickness, I started eating things I didn’t usually eat. It was exciting at that time.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. I ate things like pig’s feet and bossam that I usually ignored. I even enjoyed shrimp tempura. I was worried about ruining my figure, but I ate all the meat I could in my lifetime at that time.”
Seongjae awkwardly smiled, finding some relief.
“Sori might also like meat. They say you tend to crave what you don’t usually eat.”
“Really? We have some meat for braising. I should cook it right away.”
“Right. If you see her, Kangwoo might feel regretful.”
“I’ll try not to show in front of Kangwoo.”
“Got it.”
Suhyeong sat down with a teasing tone. They were wondering when they would come, and just as they were about to contact them, the doorbell rang.
“The kids must be here.”
Opening the door, Sori’s voice and beside her, a slightly embarrassed Hyunwoo appeared.
“Sori!”
“Mom…”
Sori, who was pulled into Suhyeong’s embrace, choked back tears. As soon as she saw her mother, tears welled up.
“Why is she acting like a child?”
Even with Suhyeong’s eyes and voice, tears quickly dried up.
In the moment of a brief hug between the two, the eyes of Hyunwoo and Seongjae met. When Hyunwoo gestured a bow, Seongjae raised both thumbs.
“What did you say?”
“Isn’t it that it’s not just pregnancy, but triplets?”
“Is that really true?”
Sitting around the table and looking at the ultrasound pictures, Suhyeong and Seongjae both became wide-eyed Alsatians.
There are no twins in our house.
“Seongjae, do you have twins in your family?”
“No?”
“Then, does Professor Seo have such a person in his house?”
“No. We don’t have it either.”
Despite the joyful news, Suhyeong and Seongjae, who shared Hyunwoo’s concerns, looked at Sori with pitiful eyes.
“What’s going on?”
Suhyeong couldn’t seem to recover from the shock.
“Well. Babies are cute and all. But it must be really hard.”
Listening to Suhyeong’s worries, Seongjae calmly asked, “Gender?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“Okay. Don’t worry. They will all be healthy and come out safely. But to make all three of them grow well, you should eat well. Is there anything you want to eat?”
“Is this delicious?”
Sori said, chewing the meat vigorously. It was the boiled pork made in a hurry, the very last one.
Looking at Suhyeong, Seongjae explained why he made the boiled pork.
“Mom ate a lot of meat when she was pregnant with you.”
Seongjae said the reason for making the boiled pork.
“Really, Mom?”
“Yeah. After the morning sickness period.”
Hearing it, everyone found it to be a welcome story, and all the meat side dishes were piled up in front of Sori.
“Now, if it’s 8 weeks, you’ll have to endure for about another month or two.”
“Is morning sickness also something inherited from Mom?”
“Of course. How can you deceive the blood? From your appearance to your physique, you’ve almost copied me.”
When Suhyeong noticed that Sori was about to retort, he hit the nail on the head, and Sori was speechless.
“I knew you would say that.”
Sori lowered her head, put her hand on her belly, and said, “Hey kids, you shouldn’t resemble your grandmother, who is a bit troublesome, okay?”
“What?”
“I’m worried you’ll only inherit the bad things.”
Suhyeong strangely laughed even though Sori was trying to be intimidating.
“By the way, am I already hearing the word ‘grandmother’?”
“Why, don’t you like it again?”
“I haven’t mentally prepared for that yet.”
“It’s nothing.”
“When the kids come out, I should teach them to call you ‘Aunt.'”
“Mom! Seriously, you’re embarrassing. Hyunwoo Oppa is here too. Aren’t you ashamed?”
Suhyeong, who pretended not to hear Sori’s words, said to Sori’s belly.
“Don’t make Mom difficult. Stay quiet and come out. This grandmother will make you a star.”
“Mom!”
“How about carrying on the superstar lineage?”
“Are you crazy? Is that enough?”
“This one, lately everyone can’t do it. They only study, so they don’t know anything.”
“If by any chance the kids are born, don’t spoil them. And what kind of superstar is Mom? She’s just a mid-level actress.”
“Oh my, are you disrespecting me? What do you think, Han Seongjae? Tell them what I was like in my prime. I should say it with my own mouth, right?”
For a while, in the mother-daughter squabble, laughter did not stop at the dining table.
It was a happy and somewhat noisy weekend evening.
