A kiss to the forehead; another one on her cheek, and the final on her lips.

Jaebum watched closely as his wife slept, her face looked so peaceful and relaxed, unlike how she had been for the past few days–a complete mess, someone totally different than Jessica Jung that he knew.

She had been facing a tough time; bad appetite, constant morning sickness and the fatigue, it was all taking a toll on her. Jessica had been fine for the first few weeks, but lately, she could no longer control it. Yesterday, she finally broke down in front of him; “I can’t handle it, but I want it–we want it,” she had told him exactly, as her eyes began its water work down her pale face.

He got up from the bed to change; he had a long day–recording songs, shows, writing up some music and catching up with the progress of his upcoming album, before finally returning home to his wife. Life had been a similar routine for almost ten years now, and sometimes he wished he could just live as an ordinary person–he thought he was getting far too old for this kind of stuff.

Jay returned back to the bedroom and climbed in next to his wife, putting an arm around her waist and placing his head on her shoulder. He was about to fade into dreamland when he heard her,

“You’re here,” she mumbled, her voice rough and sleepiness evident in it,

“Yeah,” he replied, kissing her neck. She stayed still in his arm, before speaking again,

“I went to the doctor today,” she told him as she took hold of his hand. At this, Jay opened his eyes and slightly lifted himself up from the bed to get a better look at her,

“Without me?” he asked her, his tone was a pitch higher than his usual voice. Jessica let out a small laugh,

“Yep,”

“What did she say?”

“She said that we’re both fine…and that the early signs I’m having are normal…” Jessica told him, turning around to snuggle closer into his chest.

“I’m so glad to hear that, babe…” Jay breathed out a sigh of relief, truly glad that both his wife and baby were fine, as he turned her around to face her.

“You know,” Sooyeon started, as her hand Jaebum’s jawline, “I’m craving ddeokbokki,” and as soon as the words came out from , Sooyeon could feel Jaebum tense under her touch,

“Really?” Jaebum managed to croak out, as he knew what would come out next,

“Mhmm…can you go get some for me really quickly, please?”

Bingo.

Jaebum sighed, he looked down at his wife, “It’s past midnight, babe…nobody will be selling ddeokbokki anymore at this time…”

“But your baby demands for it,” Jessica stated with a soft voice, but Jay could sense the firmness in it, especially the fact that she emphasized the word “demands.”

“I’ll give you a back massage…” Jessica added, her fingers were now drawing small circles on his chest, and now Jay knew he couldn’t back out as he realized it’s a win-win situation, somehow.

“Alright, then,”

As Jay got up from the bed and put a sweatshirt on, Jessica smiled. She didn’t really expect Jay to be one of those men who would actually wake up in the middle of the night and attend to her cravings and caring for her so much. She was glad that he had changed for the better–especially after the marriage and her pregnancy.

“Be quick, okay?” she told him, “because baby doesn’t like it when daddy’s out for too long~” Jessica said in a singsong voice, which made Jay smile. He walked over to the bed,

“Daddy doesn’t like to be away for too long, either. I’ll be going now, don’t open the door for anyone, alright? I’ve got my keys with me,”

“Silly daddy, of course I won’t open for anyone–I’m too lazy and nobody will be visiting at this time, and plus, you’re only taking a quick drive over to Hongdae…”

Jay smiled, “Okay, babe,” he kissed her forehead, “if you’re sleepy and I’m taking too long, just sleep, alright?”

“I’ll be bombarding you with phone calls first before I actually sleep because this ddeokbokki needs to get into my stomach soon, so get going, Park Jaebum,” Sooyeon told him sternly,

“Yes, ma’am..” Jay got up, and walked towards the door. As he was about to step out of the door, he heard his wife calling for him,

“Yeah, Jess?”

“I love you!” she shouted out, making sure he heard it and he did, alright. He couldn’t help but smile–she always knew how to make him feel loved and appreciated,

“I love you, too.”
