Breaking the awkward atmosphere, Yoon Jiwoo first glanced around Yeonwoo.

“Ah, I miss this smell so much. Is it really refreshing? I envy you!”

Approaching Yeonwoo awkwardly, Yoon Jiwoo brought her nose to the can and sniffed the scent.

“If you’re pregnant, can’t you drink cola? My friends used to have a glass even if they were pregnant.”

“Our baby Sooksook will only have good things.”

“Oh, okay. Whatever.”

Yeonwoo shook her head slightly. It was difficult to adapt to the changing atmosphere every minute.

“I want to have a baby quickly and eat a lot of things.”

“When is the due date?”

“Why are you so uninterested? There are three months left.”

Having made up her mind and shown some interest, she received unexpected sarcasm.

“But Yeonwoo, don’t you have a child? When are you going to have one?”

Ah, that. Why didn’t I ask about that?

Since it has been almost a year since getting married, people around Yeonwoo, who don’t know the pain of Yeonwoo and Junhwi’s legacy, often asked about the child.

“Well. There’s no specific plan yet.”
It was a time when I answered calmly with the feeling that what had to come had come.

“Uh······.”

Suddenly, Yoon Jiwoo grabbed her lower belly and let out a weak moan.

“Sooksook, why? Do you miss Dad?”

“What’s wrong? Why are you like this?”

“No, my stomach······ Agh!”

Yoon Jiwoo’s face gradually distorted with pain.

“Does it hurt? Is your stomach hurting?”

“It’s cramped, but if I rest a bit, it’ll be okay, uuugh!”

Unconsciously, Yoon Jiwoo’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

“What should I do? Oh, water, should I get you some water?”

In a hurry, Yeonwoo, who couldn’t stand still, filled a cup with water and handed it to Yoon Jiwoo.

“Uuep!”

But Yoon Jiwoo’s condition seemed to be getting worse. Whether the pain was severe or not, her face, which kept frowning with each deep breath, became paler.

“For now, lean on here, Jiwoo.”

Yeonwoo made Yoon Jiwoo lean on the bed head.

“We haven’t had such a cramp for so long······. What if something’s wrong with our Sooksook?”

“You, saying such bad things.”

But Yeonwoo, who knew better than anyone about that extreme fear, was cold. Yeonwoo tightly held Yoon Jiwoo’s cold hands.

Watching Yoon Jiwoo, who was trembling with sweetness, vivid memories of the pain she experienced two months ago came back to life.

After seeing the baby’s room, Yeonwoo, who was working at the company as usual, suddenly felt a warm flow from below.

No way.

From the back of her neck to the spine, a chilling cold penetrated Yeonwoo. She rushed to the bathroom and checked the blood with trembling hands. The despair when confirming the blood was a shock that couldn’t be expressed in any words.

If there is a bottom of hell, would it be such a place?

Since then, it was days when pain completely overwhelmed her, and even memories were not properly formed.

If it weren’t for Junhwi’s love and sincerity, Yeonwoo might still be wandering in the midst of that hell.

Yeonwoo was fully aware of the fear she experienced at that time, and Yoon Jiwoo, who was in front of her, was feeling it all over again. No matter how annoying and shameless Yoon Jiwoo was, Yeonwoo couldn’t turn away.

“It’s okay, Yoon Jiwoo.”

“Oh, what should I do······. Ahek!”

“It won’t go wrong. Trust the baby.”

It’s okay. Nothing happened. It’s okay. Frantically trying to convince herself, Yeonwoo picked up the phone.

“Hello. Can you call an ambulance to the resort? A pregnant woman is in pain, and it seems like we need to go to the emergency room.”

As Yeonwoo quickly explained the situation in English, the staff replied urgently.

Okay. We’ll arrange to take you to the hospital soon. But for foreigners, there must be a guardian to accompany them to the emergency room.

A guardian? Cha Hanbin hasn’t arrived yet.

“Yes, I am the guardian.”

Having seen Yoon Jiwoo suffering while holding her lower belly, Yeonwoo calmly replied.

“Let’s go to the hospital. I called the concierge and requested an ambulance. Hold on a little.”

“What should I do, our Sooksook, aah!”

“Yoon Jiwoo. Stop talking! Let’s calm down first. Okay? You seem to be stressed all of a sudden.”
Yoon Jiwoo’s hands, as cold as ice, were trembling. Regardless of the past misdeeds, the Yoon Jiwoo in front of me was simply pitiful and someone in need of help.

“I’m scared······. Yeonwoo, I’m scared.”

“Shh, it’s okay. I’m right here.”

Yeonwoo gently comforted the tearful Jiwoo once again.

If someone had come and comforted Yeonwoo, who was crouching alone in a cold corner of the bathroom that day, her fear might have been alleviated.

If she had held onto that warmth, she might have exited the dark tunnel of fear a little faster.

Please, may you not fall into hell like me and find the courage to overcome it. I hope the child is safe, too······.

The tip of Yeonwoo’s nose, hugging Jiwoo, had become slightly damp.

“Hey!”

Cha Hanbin, who rushed into the emergency room, headed straight for the bed where Jiwoo lay. Wet Junhwi followed closely behind.
