Shinhye massages her lower back while she leans on the couch.

“Why did it hurt too much today?”

She holds on her stomach and bites her lips.

“Shin ah.”

Shinhye opens her eyes.

“Deh unni?”

“Let’s go to the doctor neh.”

Shinhye shakes her head.

“Do you want hot coffee maybe?”

“No unni. It will get worse if I take caffeine.”

Her manager sighs.

“Just what is your problem Shin? You make me worried.”

“It’s just a menstrual cramp unni, but a bit severe today.”

“Cramp? Why did you vomit?”

“I vomit sometimes. Maybe because I didn’t take dinner last night.”

“You look pale.”

“I’ll be fine in a while.”

“You can take painkiller right?”

“Never with empty stomach.”

Shinhye’s manager sighs.

“I’ll buy you some chicken soup.”

“Deh. Thanks unni.”

“Where is Yonghwa ssi?”

“He is packing. He’ll leave for Japan tomorrow.”

“Don’t want to let him know?”

Shinhye shakes her head while pouting.

“It’s a women thing unni.”

Her manager laughs and nods.

“Rest well.”

Shinhye shifts her position and shuts her eyes close.

She sighs before she drifted to sleep.

                                                                                                ***

“Shinnie.”

Shinhye opens her eyes and smiles.

“Yongie.”

“What happen?”

Shinhye sits down and her hair, tugging some strands of her hair behind her ear.

“Are you not feeling well?”

“I’m fine Yongie.”

“Your manager said that you aren’t feeling well. I bump to her when I was about to walks in.”

“Unni worries too much.”

Yonghwa caresses her hair and pouts.

“Let’s go to clinic.”

“I’m fine now. Why should we go to the clinic?”

Shinhye stands up and stretches her back.

“I’m just having some cramp.”

“Where?”

Shinhye pats her belly few times.

“Here.”

Yonghwa scratches his head.

“You don’t need to know.”

Shinhye chuckles.

“Ahh, I’m hungry.”

“Your manager bought soup for you. Do you want to eat it?”

“I’ll eat in a while. Let me freshen up a bit.”

Shinhye went to her bag and pulls out her sanitary pad and toiletries before she heads to the bathroom.

Yonghwa just look at her with puzzled expression.

“Women are full of mystery.”

He said while he grabs a magazine and flips it boringly while he waits for Shinhye.

                                                                                                ***

“Which one should I wear tomorrow?”

Shinhye crooked and chooses the Navy geo print short sleeves shirt and Navy dark slim leg jeans. She chooses a black classic loafer to go with the outfit.

“How about this?”

Yonghwa smiles and nods.

“You will send me off?”

Shinhye nods and puts Yonghwa’s outfit inside his wardrobe.

He then joins Yonghwa on the bed. She leans her head on his shoulder and intertwined her fingers with him.

“I will miss you.”

“Me too.”

“I’ll stay with unni.”

Yonghwa nods again.

“Are you okay now? How about your cramp?”

Shinhye chuckles.

“I’m fine now. Maybe I’m a bit tired from the excessive training with the instructor; that’s why it’s a bit painful this time.”

Yonghwa nods even that he doesn’t really get her.

“Sleep with me tonight.”

Shinhye releases his hand and moves a bit from him.

“I can’t.”

Yonghwa wrinkles his forehead.

“Wae?”

Shinhye sighs.

“We can’t. I can’t.”

“Waeeee?”

Yonghwa whines while stomping his feet cutely.

“But you sleep with me the other day when you can’t sleep. I just want to cuddle you while I sleep tonight.”

“Ahh, sleep.”

“Yes Shin. Wae? Do you think about that kind of sleep?”

Yonghwa smiles mischieviously while he pinned her on the bed, caging her under him.

“Yongie. Don’t.”

Shinhye quickly put her hand on his chest, pushing him from her.

Yonghwa kisses her forehead and rolls beside her.

He pulls her nearer, making her lay down on his arm.

“I know what you mean by we can’t. You are on your menstruation.”

“How do you know?”

“I’m curious about the cramp. I look for it on internet.”

He laughs.

Shinhye blushes.

He kisses her forehead and hugs her.

“But we still can sleep side by side right?”

Shinhye nods.

“We can cuddle too.”

Shinhye pecks his lips and rose from the bed.

“I’ll come back.”

Shinhye skips to her room while she hums a song.

Yonghwa smiles and walks to his bathroom.

                                                                                                ***

Yonghwa opens his eyes when he feels Shinhye’s fingers on his hair.

“Morning beautiful.”

Shinhye smiles.

“Morning. Do you sleep well?”

Yonghwa nods and kisses her nose.

“Because you are here.”

He hugs her tighter while he kisses her hair.

“You smell so good.”

Shinhye giggles and kisses his chest.

“You too.”

“Shin ah, come and live in my unit there neh.”

“I’ll talk with president okay.”

“Hmm.”

Shinhye rubs his back and tilt her head.

“I’m gonna miss you.”

“Me too.”

“I think I can go there in another 5 days.”

“Really?”

Shinhye nods.

“Let’s see. I have two CF shooting and training. I don’t have any after that. I think I can.”

Yonghwa smiles.

“It’s great. I just have to count my right hand.”

Shinhye laughs.

“Mwoya.”

Yonghwa grins.

“I better cook something. I heard growling sound from your tummy.”

Shinhye rose from the bed and skips to the door.

“What do you want to eat?”

“As you wish my queen.”

“Ready to serve you then my king.”

Shinhye laughs and walks to the kitchen.

Sorry to disappoint almost all of you who wants her to be pregnant..
