SPECIAL CHAPTER

Note from author: This is to give thanks to everyone who has given love to this story. This was done on a rush though and not part of the plot at all. I hope you would still enjoy it even for jst a bit!  :)

Sulli is not feeling well. She has not had appetite the past few days. Now she even needs to visit her mother in law. It’s been 2 years she got married to the man of her dreams but it wasn’t easy. It was a constant firefighting of issues that happens in FlyAir and the continuous battle to make sure it will meet the commitments it has with SkyRock. Though Minho was always beside her advising her what to do and not to do, she is pretty much independent in her work and decisions. Uncle Sam is still the CEO, but the management is 70% done by Sulli.

These days, Sulli feels really tired. They are close to reaching the target that they committed to SkyRock. And they are very much advance than the schedule. But that’s what she really wants. She wants FlyAir to be independent and out of the commitment soon just so she’s not always this stressed.

“You look really pale.” Said Mother In law

“Hmm…I’m just a bit tired these days, Mom.  FlyAir…We’re almost done with our commitment with SkyRock.” Said Sulli while chopping some onions

“Is Minho pushing you too hard to meet the commitment?” asked Mother in law

“No, Mom. He actually told me to take my time and not to put too much pressure on myself…but I really want Uncle to retire already. Uncle said he’ll not retire until all commitments of FlyAir to SkyRock is done. He’ll be ashamed if we won’t make it.” Said Sulli

“Your Uncle is stubborn. Your Dad Andrew also told him to take it easy.”  Said Mother in law frustrated

Mother in law is teaching Sulli to make some dishes. Sulli is not used to home making when she got married and she has committed to meet with her mother in law twice a month to learn something from her about home making.   After 2 years of married life, she has learned a lot already.

“But you know how Uncle is. Minho made SkyRock’s commitment to us in just 2 years instead of 3. We just want to make sure that Minho and Dad’s name is protected from the shareholders of SkyRock. We want to show them that Minho’s decision to help us was right.” Said Sulli

Mother in law patted Sulli’s back “But don’t over-do it. If you get sick everyone of us will surely worry.”

Sulli’s heart is warmed by her mother in law’s words. After the wedding, she can still feel coldness form her. But after meeting her every other week for a few months, she has completely warmed up to her. She really feels her as her second mother.

“You really look pale today, why don’t you take the rest of the day on leave? Are you planning to go back to the office after this? You should just rest.” Said Mother in law

“Thank you Mom. I will try and get a leave later today. You are right, I feel like I’m getting a cold. ”

-------------------

After the cooking lesson from her Mother in law, Sulli went to SkyRock to give Minho some of the dishes they cooked. She still feels sick. But Minho is in a meeting and so she went to Luis’ team first.  Luis invited her for coffee and quick chat.

“Are you on a diet? You look thinner than usual?” asked Luis

“No…I don’t I think I need to go on a diet when there are so many things to do in the office. Stress makes me thinner.” Said Sulli

“And you look not so good, you should probably go home.” Said Luis

“No I’ll just feel weak inside the house, besides, I wanted my husband  to taste the new dish I learned from his Mom.” Said Sulli

“Ahhh you really make a single man like me envious.” Said Luis frustrated

“So how was the woman I set up with you? I heard you went  out twice already?” said Sulli

Sulli set up a blind date for Luis and her college professor. The two of them seemed to have a liking for each other and even went out for the second time.

“She’s…very interesting. But it wasn’t twice.” Said Luis

“You did not go out twice?” asked Sulli

“We went out for more than 5 times now.” Said Luis

That made Sulli laugh

“You must really like her, you pretentious man!” said Sulli

Luis had to chuckle

“I am not like your husband who took 3 months to realize his feelings and took years to confess. I admit that I like her all right?” said Luis

“What do you like about her?” asked Sulli

“What do you like about Minho?” asked Luis

“Hmm…I love him so much that I can’t live without him.” Said Sulli

“I asked what do you like about him, not how much do you love him” said Luis “It’s hard to talk to a wife who’s acting like a newly-wed when it’s already been 2 years since the wedding.”

Sulli laughed hard.

Luis saw Minho coming.

“I leave you on your husband’s care.” Luis stood up and gave his goodbyes to Sulli and Minho

----------------------

Sulli and Minho ate lunch together with the food Sulli brought.

“Mom called me up earlier telling me you look pale.” Said Minho

Minho touched Sulli’s forehead. You seems to be a bit hot.

“You’ve been really pale lately. I’ll take you home after eating.” Said Minho

“No I’m ok. You have a lot of meetings later. I can manage.” Said Sulli

“You always say that. You know that I don’t trust that anymore.” Said Minho

Minho called his secretary to tell her he’ll be late for the next meeting.

“You didn’t have to-“ Sulli stopped what she was about to say when Minho suddenly kissed her lips. It was a very quick kiss but that stopped Sulli to think for a second.

“I’m going to take you home, wife. And the husband will have it no other way.” Said Minho

---------------------

Minho carried Sulli to the bed.

“I have legs you know, my dear husband?” said Sulli

“I am afraid that you’ll escape and just go to the kitchen or something.” Said  Minho

When Sulli is already lying in bed Minho sat beside her.

“I’ll just call FlyAir to tell your secretary that you’ll be out.” Said Minho

“I already did.” said Sulli. Sulli noticed that Minho’s eyebrow is slightly raised. That means he does not believe her. “Your Mom supervised the call. She made sure I called to say I would take a day off.” Said Sulli

“Good. My Mom really knows what I would have done if I was there.” Said Minho

Seeing Sulli so pale like this is making Minho worried. “I think I need to call my secretary to tell her I also need to take the afternoon off. I’d rather stay here than going to all my meetings worried about you.” Said Minho

“No…go…I don’t want your secretary to have a hard time rescheduling all your meetings.” Said Sulli

Minho feels really bad. He has several urgent meetings this afternoon and Sulli has a point that rescheduling them will be beyond impossible. But he wants to take care of his wife and he will surely think of her during the meetings. Minho took his phone and made a call.

“Hello, Mom Gene, Yes this is Minho. I’m sorry to ask this I know you are busy with the noodle house, But can I ask your help please to visit Sulli at home? She’s not feeling well.” Said Minho

Sulli touched Minho’s hand. She knows Minho hates it when he has to burden someone else. Minho closed his hand on Sulli’s

“Thank you, Mom. I’ll wait for you before going to my meeting.” Said Minho

-------------------

Gene is troubled over Sulli’s health. Why is she so weak recently? And she also does not have appetite for almost everything that she eats.

“You should probably go to a Doctor. The stress in the office might be too much.” Said Gene

“Should I? Hmm…Even if I go to a doctor, the stress will still be the same, Mom.” Said Sulli

“Hmm..You’re right but…It’s better than not trying to improve your health. C’mon, let see the doctor.”

Gene had to pull Sulli from bed just to convince her to get a check-up.

---------------------

When Sulli was waiting for the doctor, the nurse is checking her temperature, vital signs and asked some questions.

“You have a slight fever. But your blood pressure is normal. When did you last had your period?” asked the nurse

That had Sulli think for a while…When was it…Hmm…It seems she did not get her period last month…and even the month before?

“Is your period regular.” Said the nurse

“It used to be…but it seems I did not get my period last month… possibly the month before too.” Said Sulli

Gene’s eyes got wide. “Could it be…” asked Gene

“Let’s wait for the doctor, but since you normally have regular period and you’ve not had any the past months, it can be that you’re pregnant. Of course a test has to be done. But you do have a partner or husband right?” asked the nurse

“Umm..yes…I am married.” Sulli’s heart started beating fast…could it be…Can she really be pregnant!

“Mom…What does a pregnant woman normally feel? What did you feel when you were pregnant with me?” asked Sulli worried

“I..hmm…I think I lost my appetite..and I felt sick for a few weeks….oh no…You might be pregnant!” said Gene

Sulli had to hold on her chair tightly.

--------------

Gene secretly called Minho to the hospital. She knows Sulli won’t call Minho and so she wants to call him. This should be a moment for the couple and if Sulli is pregnant, Gene doesn’t want Minho to miss the moment.

Minho arrived in the hospital worried. When he saw Gene he immediately went to her.

“Mom, what happened?” said Minho “Go inside, Sulli went for a test and the result is going to be interpreted by the doctor.”

Minho immediately went inside the doctor’s room surprising Sulli.

“Oh, why are you here?” asked Sulli

“Who is he?” asked the doctor

“He’s my husband” said Sulli

Minho took a seat beside Sulli

“That’s good that he’s here.” said the doctor. “Because I have good news for you.”

Mino noticed Sulli’s hand trembling and so he touched it. Why is she this nervous? What kind of test did she take? Is his wife really sick?

“Congratulations. You will be parents soon.” Said the doctor

Sulli’s mind went blank, her eyes as wide as it can be.

Minho had to ask again “What did you say, Doc?” asked Minho

“Your wife is pregnant. She’s 1 month and 3 weeks pregnant.” said the Doctor

Minho shouted on top of his lungs “Dad? I am going to be a Dad?!”

Sulli’s mind went back. She saw how happy Mino is, his smile can be framed. He’s laughing uncontrollably. And Sulli’s heart is filled with joy. All her worries seemed to have gone away.

Minho hugged Sulli tight making the Doctor blush.

“We’re going to be parents. I’m going to be a Dad and you’re going to be a Mom!” Minho planted a kiss on Sulli’s lips making the doctor turn red.

“Thank you Doc” Minho happily shaked the Doctor’s hands.

When they got out of the room, Minho hugged Gene

“Mom! I’m going to be a Dad, a Dad!!!” said Minho

Gene is happy. She is really happy. She’s going to be  a Grandma!

Sulli is happy, but she’s also worried what will she do? What’s going to happen now?

------------------

Minho is overreacting. Ever since he learned that Sulli’s pregnant, he would help her out of the car as if her stomach is already 9 months big. He would assist her in climbing the stairs. He would dry the floor of the bathroom before he would allow her to go in even if she urgently needs to
