"Come on, baby. You still got that groove," Minsung smiled, pulling Byungjoo up from the hospital, "Being pregnant doesn't take that away from you."

"Says you," Byungjoo shot back in irritation, but he let Minsung pull him up on his feet. He was currently in labor, baby insistent on making his way into this world by taking forever to get there. Byungjoo was on hour nine of labor with no progress on dilation, having been stuck on five centimeters for the whole duration so far. He was in pain, tired, and wanted this baby to be born already. 

"You know, dancing helps labor progress faster.
