“How about this time?”
“There’s no need to think anxiously.”
“But, Taeso…”
“It seems I’m coming home late because I’m considerate of extending the honeymoon period for our baby, just the two of us. Thinking about it, isn’t a filial son like that hard to find?”
In the early morning, Jaein, holding a pregnancy test in her hand, looked at Taeso.
Even in his gentle smile, there was unease and worry, just like in Jaein’s eyes. However, Taeso’s determination was different from Jaein, who would check one line again and feel discouraged.
Taeso hadn’t even considered the unborn child yet. In fact, he thought of the ‘child’ as a vague existence. It was just a nod to Jaein’s wishes, but to him, Yoon Jaein was much more precious than any child.
Even if they spent their whole lives just the two of them, there would be no complaints.
For Kang Taeso, spending time with Yoon Jaein without any interference was enjoyable. Sharing intimacy without being bound by time or place, confirming each other’s love without hesitation was pleasing.
When a child is born, inevitable constraints will be imposed on time and actions. Taeso subtly worried about that aspect.
So whenever Jaein confirmed that it wasn’t a pregnancy and felt sad, he sometimes wondered if it was because he wasn’t as desperate as Jaein. Perhaps the reason the child wasn’t coming was because he wasn’t longing for it as much.
At those times, he felt sorry. Although he always comforted and pampered Jaein, and although he was more passionate than anyone else about the act of having a child, Taeso was actually a bit fearful.
Could I be a good father?
No matter how much Jaein trusted him, even if she learned new love from her, realizing that love learned from her doesn’t make a person miserable but happy, Taeso, as a father, secretly thought he might be different.
“I’m sorry. Taeso, you must be anxious too…”
“No, I’m really fine. Jaein, we’re still young and healthy. The doctor also said to take it easy, so let’s wait positively. Okay?”
Since the day Taeso returned to Chicago after wrapping up his work in Korea, the two had been preparing for pregnancy. However, the baby, who they thought would come right away, was still not here after almost a year.
Whenever Jaein’s usually regular menstrual cycle was delayed by even a day, she would pick up a pregnancy test. And she was disappointed every time. Initially, she used to smile and stick out her tongue, but recently, she cried or felt depressed more often.
At Taeso’s urging for Jaein’s concern, the two had visited the hospital recently. The doctor said that both Jaein and Taeso were extremely healthy, and there was no problem at all in having a baby.
Despite having no issues, they wondered why the baby wasn’t coming. The doctor, who was contemplating why the baby wasn’t coming despite having no problems, asked how often they had intercourse. It was a question that could be easily asked at the gynecologist’s office.
“How many times a month… Well, it’s a vague question. Unless there’s something special like being sick or tired, we do it almost every day.”
“…Ah, you asked how many times. If we count per day…”
“That’s enough. The previous answer is sufficient. You don’t have to say more.”
In front of the doctor, Taeso shamelessly continued to bend his fingers, only to be stopped by Jaein’s hand.
“I’m just trying to answer the question?”
“Shh, Taeso, stop it.”
While Jaein’s face turned red, he just shrugged, and his expression remained unchanged. It was an expression that said there was nothing to hide since it wasn’t a lie.
As Jaein admitted, for the past year, the two had been almost inseparable.
Taeso hugged Jaein everywhere around the house because she was busy decorating the new large house they had moved into.
There was a time when Jaein, who was holding a paint roller to decorate the baby’s room, misjudged her strength and broke a step ladder. They also burned lasagna in the kitchen while sharing love.
There was a humorous incident when they passionately kissed while leaning against the front door, and Jaein, surprised by the deliveryman ringing the doorbell and throwing the package, ran into the bedroom.
Even though they shared love so much, what if the baby still didn’t come this time?
Jaein, whose cheeks were gently touched by the man’s hand, closed her eyes slightly when she lightly touched his cheek. Leaning on the stability provided by the large hand, she tried to find composure by regulating her breath and calming her mind.
“It’s okay. Even if the baby comes late or doesn’t come, I’m still so happy now. I’ve never been this happy in my life.”
“Yeah.”
“Is Yoon Jaein not enough for me?”
Taeso, cautiously asking, lowered his head towards Jaein. Jaein also found happiness meeting Taeso. It was a satisfaction that she hadn’t felt since her mother passed away.
However, apart from that, she was desperate for a baby. It was not only because Jaein wanted her own family, but also for Taeso.
Jaein hoped that Taeso would realize how good of a person he was through the baby.
