Chapter 9

“What are you doing?” Yunho just got home from work & dropped his black kenneth cole reaction leather single gusset manhattan briefcase as he saw Yuri walking by the living room with a box in her hand.

“What does it look like I’m doing? I’m moving this box.” Yuri glared.

“Yul, the doctor said no heavy lifting. Why didn’t you call me or one of the maids?”

“Yunnie Oppa.” Yuri said, as she slowly counted to ten, “This box weight less than three pounds, it’s not heavy.”

Yunho looked doubtfully at his wife as he took the box from her, “Where do you want me to take this to?” Then he mumbled, “I should call the doctor & check what weight constitutes as being heavy.”

“Jung Yunho. Don’t you dare call the doctor on something as trivial as this.” Yuri was being highly emotional today, “You are driving everyone crazy. You call the doctor every five minutes. You act like I’m so fragile that I will break. I sneezed & you almost took me to the emergency room. Get a grip on yourself.” Yuri started crying. Yunho dropped the box & rushed to Yuri. He held her in his arms, “Shh, I’m sorry okay? I promise to tone down.” He handed his hanky to Yuri, “Are you tired? Do you want to lie down? Do you want some watermelon?”

Yuri sighed in defeat. Yunho had been going on like this for the last three months. When he found out that she started craving for watermelon, he went out & bought cartons of them. She thought about her bedside table; there were still packages of unopened biscuits Yunho got for her.

Overall, the situation had been good for her. Yunho did everything she asked from him & took good care of her. He never violated any of her conditions. Except she never realized the extent of Yunho’s meaning when he said, ‘I won’t bother you unless it’s for your own good’. Everything was for her own good. Sometimes, she does think that he’s sweet but there were times when he just went overboard & drove her nuts.

“No, I’m not tired & I’m not hungry. I think I’ll go take a walk in the garden.” Yuri started to walked off, “Alone.” She added, as she noticed Yunho following her.

Yunho let her leave but he motioned for one of the maids to follow his wife. He rubbed his temple as he sat down on the couch. On one hand, he wished that time would speed up & Yuri would give birth already. He was constantly worrying about her. On the other hand, he wished that time would slow down. He only had a couple of months left & he felt like he wasn’t gaining any grounds with his wife.

It’s been a real challenge for him to act emotionally detached with anything regarding the baby. He wanted to be apart of whatever Yuri was doing in preparation for the baby’s arrival so much,
