Min Hyuk’s voice quivered as he unfolded the maternity booklet in his hand, revealing the ultrasound photo tucked inside.
“Here are the arms, legs, and face. It looks like a jelly bear, right? At this stage, babies resemble jelly bears in size and shape, so they’re called that.”
Da Hyun pointed out each part with her finger, explaining to him. Min Hyuk listened intently, his mouth agape.
“I… Da Hyun, ah, thank you so much.”
Unable to continue, his hands holding the ultrasound photo trembled slightly, and his eyes reddened.
Watching him try to hold back tears, Da Hyun felt her heart soften.
It felt like they had finally become a real family, not just in name.
She felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.
As Da Hyun was about to tell him to go wash up, she suddenly closed her eyes.
Squeak— “Huh…!”
Overwhelmed by an inexplicable ringing in her ears, Da Hyun groaned in pain, clutched her ears, and collapsed.
Min Hyuk, watching her in agony, was filled with dread.
“Da Hyun, what’s wrong?”
Trying to shake off his anxiety, he knelt beside her, gripping her shoulder.
Memories of two years ago when Da Hyun had amnesia flashed through his mind.
“Memories can return at any time. They’re just finding their way back to where they belong.”
Learning about the baby was a miraculous event.
But why now, just when only happy days seemed to lie ahead?
Could her memories be returning?
It seemed impossible.
The thought alone sent a chill down his spine.
Why now, after they learned about their child?
Suddenly, pain and numbness spread through her limbs.
No, she couldn’t regain her memories. Not ever, not even at the moment of death. It was ridiculous that memories that hadn’t returned for two years would come back so absurdly now. It was implausible.
How could this be happening now, after everything was going so well?
“My baby…”
“Huh…”
As the excruciating ringing continued, images flashed by, but Da Hyun had no time to pay attention.
She gritted her teeth, struggling to calm herself down.
Never before had she experienced such agonizing tinnitus. The situation was both terrifying and baffling.
“Da Hyun!”
Min Hyuk gently lifted her up. She was still clutching her ears, waiting for the ringing to stop.
Squeak— Squeak—
With each ring, unseen images flickered past.
Despite her suffering, Da Hyun worried whether this stress might affect the baby.
“We need to go to the hospital.”
Min Hyuk, holding her, put his shoes back on, his breath growing ragged. Gradually, the ringing subsided, and Da Hyun slowly opened her trembling eyelids.
Da Hyun, not wanting to go to the hospital for a fleeting episode of tinnitus, clutched Min Hyuk’s shirt tightly.
“I don’t want to go to the hospital. I just need to rest.”
“Why are you being so stubborn? If you’re sick, we need to go.”
“I think it’s just because I got too scared.”
“Still, we should check. Let’s go.”
“I’m really fine. I just need to rest.”
Min Hyuk raised his voice, frustrated by her insistence on not going to the hospital.
“Da Hyun!”
Da Hyun’s eyes widened at his raised tone. It might have been the first time he raised his voice at her. Yet, she didn’t want to go to the hospital.
Pregnant women are advised against X-rays, and as soon as she became aware of the baby, her only thought was to avoid any harm to it.
“I just want to avoid anything that might be harmful to the baby. Rest will be fine. It’s just tinnitus. Tinnitus can suddenly occur.”
Though she doubted it would be this painful.
Repeating reassurances to calm him down, she felt guilty for causing worry.
“Are you really okay?”
“Yes. So put me down. I can walk.”
Her struggles were futile in his embrace.
The intense ringing that had plagued her moments ago had ceased. Finally, the constricting sensation around her head eased, and Da Hyun’s breathing stabilized.
“I’m really okay now.”
“Fine, I’ll put you to bed.”
She opened her mouth again, trying to ease his worry, feeling a heavy heart at the sight of him more troubled than her.
“I must be heavy.”
“Heavy? You?”
He was astonished by her concern about her weight. Just a moment ago, she was in pain, and now she was worried about her weight. He couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh.
“Don’t worry about it. You’re not heavy at all. Actually, you’ve gotten lighter.”
“But I’ll get heavier. My belly will grow, and I’ll gain weight.”
“You’ll still be beautiful.”
Fortunately, his worst fears didn’t materialize.
Da Hyun nestled quietly into his arms.
Ascending to the second floor, he gently laid her down in the bedroom, feeling as if any lapse in attention might cause her to shatter right before his eyes.
“Maybe I got a bit too scared too, now that I know about the pregnancy.”
“It seems so. Are you sure we don’t need to go to the hospital, or should I call Dr. Hwang?”
Min Hyuk was at a loss for words.
To not lose her. To not lose their child.
“No, I’m really fine. I’m not in pain anymore.”
“Alright, I’ll stay by your side. Get some rest.”
Her voice turned meek, guilt-ridden for not taking better care of herself.
“I’m sorry.”
