Chapter 79- Snapshots of life

Letters to U-kiss

Hana's POV

Fall semester ended surprisingly smoothly. I had trouble keeping a lot of more flavorful foods down, so I was eating a pretty boring diet consisting mainly of eggs, toast, crackers, apples, cheese, bananas, squash, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. Everyone pestered me to eat as much as I could. 

I talked over going to school versus taking a semester off with my parents and God, and I came to a decision -I would do school part time this semester and take some online general education courses online over the summer to keep up with my current 4 year school schedule. Mary and I also agreed to rent with the Perry's next semester as well. 

Kevin was so busy with work activities at the end of the year, that I felt bad for him making time for me all the time to talk a lot of the time. He always said he wanted to do it when I offered to talk some other time, but I worried about him -I didn't want him over exerting himself too much or he'd end up dead before we got a chance to see each other in person again. 

Kevin's POV

The end of the year was really busy for U-KISS in general, but I felt exhausted a lot of the time. Making the fans happy was a big motivator for me though. It felt like Alexander and Kibum were being given fewer and fewer activities all the time, which was a little unfair to the rest of us. We couldn't really do or say much about it though.

I was happy that Hana seemed to be doing well and that she was going to take it a little easier in the coming semester for school. I was also happy she wouldn't have to live in the dorms either. She worried me with how hard she was trying to get through school despite everything. 

Hana's POV- a couple months later in 2011

Spring semester was in full swing. I was managing my course work okay, but being pregnant was exhausting. Mrs. Perry was taking such good care of me and Mary too. She spoiled us by making us food out of what we bought -she really didn't have to. Plus, she accompanied me to most of my check-ups at the doctors too. She and my mom had become pretty good friends, so she was calling to check up on me often. 

I kept becoming more and more worried about Kevin though. His work schedule was insane and I was amazed that he was able to get any sleep at all. I kept praying that something would change before he ended up sick or completely burnt out. He still kept in touch with me and checked on me no matter what though -I scolded him for not caring enough for himself, but he shot back the same to me. 

Kevin's POV- a few months later in 2011. 

The only things that got me through how busy I was, were God and Hana. Without them I'd be going insane and unable to cope with everything. My schedule was busier with the upcoming album we were working on and we all found out the Alexander and Kibum were going to leave us before that album was to be released. I was really surprised and sad, but I guess that's what our manager meant by big changes that were going to happen. 

We also, had two new members replacing Alexander and Kibum- a guy named Hoon and a guy named AJ. AJ spoke really good english and he seemed nice so far. Hoon was also really nice, and he had a really nice singing voice. I could tell I was going to enjoy working with them even though U-KISS would always be different without Alexander and Kibum. 

Hana's POV- later in spring 2011

I felt like I was forever in a perpetual state of worry over Kevin. He kept saying his schedule should lighten up, but it didn't seem like ever would to me. He told that Alexander and Kibum were being let go and that they were getting two new members -AJ and Hoon. I hoped that U-KISS's sound wouldn't change too much with the change, but it sounded like from Kevin nothing would. 

School was going pretty well. Adjusting to online classes was a big changed, but it definitely was better than spending a lot of time walking or on campus. Every day it felt like my belly was growing bigger and bigger. Mary teased me that I was turning into a watermelon. 

My due date was growing closer by the day and the little one became more and more active. Jae and Rob were getting all the baby stuff together and painted the nursery for the baby. We were going to have a baby shower as soon as the semester ended. 

I wished I could be home for this pregnancy, but at the same time I was happy that I wasn't home for it. I felt like everyone who knew me and our church family would judge me for it, even though it wasn't my fault that I was pregnant out of wedlock. The baby shower was going to be a bit uncomfortable too, but at least it was towards the end of everything. 

Kevin's POV- later in spring 2011. 

After we finished recording the new album, there was a little let up in activities until it was released. The new guys, Hoon and AJ, were given many activities to introduce themselves to the fans and create a fanbase for them before the album release. 

Hana and I skyped when I could. She sounded like she was doing well with everything, and she was sharing her heart with me more and more. Every time I saw her she looked bigger, but she still looked wonderful. I yearned to see her more and more. 

Hana's POV- end of the semester 2011

I was tottering around like a duck that had eaten too much feed by the end of the semester. I was so tired all the time too- I could barely stay awake for anything. The baby's kicks were stronger and stronger and sometimes took my breath away if it got me in the ribs. 

Mrs. Perry or someone walked with me everywhere to make sure I got places okay. I grew more absent minded too, which made schoolwork harder to keep track of. I was ready for the baby to come out any time now. 

Kevin sent me U-KISS's new CD, which I enjoyed listening to in between things. Their sound didn't really change much at all, which was a good surprise. Kevin himself sounded like he had it a little easier with the new members, but I still felt he was being overworked. 

Kevin's POV- late spring 2011

There was a huge earthquake in Japan in April after our album release. Our company and other companies set up fundraising activities and concerts to raise funds for the aftermath. We were scheduled to be in Japan towards the beginning of june for a big fundraiser concert. 

Poor Hana was looking more tired and miserablely large every time I skyped with her. I never talked with her as long as I wanted to because I didn't want her to exhaust herself -she needed to be healthy to bring that little one into the world. She was getting ready to move back home last time I had talked to her. 

Hana's POV- back home

I finished my semester none the worse for the wear other than very pregnant and tired. Mary did most of the packing and organizing of things to go home from the Perry's, but they let us keep some of their stuff there until the fall semester. They were going to let us keep renting from them, which was really sweet. 

We had the baby shower for Jae and Rob to welcome this baby into their family and home. People congratulated them and me, but I felt more embarassed by it than anything. A lot of people kept asking me if I was being the surrogate mother for their child -I hate to say it, but I lied and said yes. Technically it wasn't a complete lie, since I was being a surrogate mother for my sister, but it wasn't her or her husband's child that I was carrying. 

Kevin's POV- June of 2011

Hana told me all about the baby shower and how she had felt about everything. I didn't blame her for being embarassed about things, but she didn't really have something to be embarassed about. She wasn't being rebellious to God with what had happened. She was carrying the new life that God had entrusted her with. She was giving her sister a child that she couldn't have herself. 

I was packing up things for our trip to Japan for the big concert when I got a text. 

"It's time for the baby Kevin."
