A few years ago, probably when Joon and Jungroo were still teenagers, they made a pact to each other. They agreed that if they were still single and childless five years from then, they would marry and do their part in helping the world by bringing beautiful babies to the society. They pinky swore on it and at that time, that meant they were really serious.

Now it’s five years later, Jungroo is single and as expected, childless. And she didn’t really see herself coming even remotely close to becoming a mother as her manager told her that fans tend to frown upon that. So there she was, twenty-five years old, deprived of any decent food or sleep, sitting in the car on the way to the Hello Baby set with her sole group mate of two years now, Bang Bia.

They still don’t know how they ended up agreeing to become the mothers of MBLAQ’s ‘children’. Maybe the desperate thought of it possibly being their only shot at becoming a mother that made them sign the contract. Or maybe it was because Jungroo actually wanted to catch up with the MBLAQ boys after they had inevitably drifted apart a few years ago. Or maybe because Bia believed that it would mean having more screen time and therefore, earning more money. Or maybe it was because that doing the show would mean fulfilling the pact Jungroo made with Changsun—er, Joon five years ago.
