Sulli opens the door to her hotel room with a sigh of relief. She sat down on the couch while caressing her belly.

“Thank god I didn’t fall.”

She said while leaning her back on the couch. Her body was feeling sore and tired; maybe because of the aftershock.

She removes her flat and walks into the bathroom, filling the tub with warm water. She walks out of her dress and smiles when she lay down inside the tub.

Closing her eyes, she let the warm water brushes her skin.

                                                                                        ***

“Sulli.”

Taemin smiles and kisses the handkerchief on his injured hand.

“Smells like heaven.”

He chuckles and looks at his palm.

“I caught you body. How can you be that gorgeous with that big tummy goddess?”

Taemin lay down on his bed, grinning.

“Taemin.”

He put down his hand and turns to the door.

“Wae hyung?”

“I hope you weren’t serious.”

Taemin smiles and rose from the bed. He walks to Jinki.

“About what hyung?”

“Sulli.”

“It’s the first time I fall in love.”

“You fall for the wrong lady Taem.”

“I can make her fall for me.”

“Taem, even if she married him in arranged one, they are husband and wife now; they will become a parent in few months too.”

“Arrange?”

Taemin smiles wider.

“There will be chances that they don’t love each other.”

Jinki sighs.

He blurted something that he should keep.

“Taemin ah.”

Taemin smiles and pats Jinki’s shoulder.

“I’ll go home now hyung. I won’t wait for you.”

“How will you go home?”

“I have my ways.”

Taemin fill up his luggage with his things and drags it with him.

“Thank you hyung.”

Jinki is left dumbfounded.

“Why is he thanking me?”

                                                                                                ***

Sulli flicks her eyes open when she feels a hand on her shoulder.

“How long have you been in here?”

Sulli looks around and realize she is still in their hotel room, in its bathroom.

Sulli walks out of the tub and wraps her body with the towel.

Minho dips his hand in the water.

“It’s cold already. Did you stay there for long?”

“I fell asleep.”

Sulli smiles.

“Are you not feeling well?”

Sulli shakes her head.

“Maybe I’m bored.”

“Come out, drink some hot tea.”

Minho took another towel and dries her hair.

“What if you catch cold yeobo?”

“I’ll be fine oppa.”

Minho sighs.

“You did some shopping earlier?”

Sulli glances at her shopping bags and nods.

“Stuff for our son.”

Minho smiles and takes a night gown and gives it to Sulli.

“Lie down.”

He said when she finishes dressing.

Sulli did not lie down; instead she leans on the bed header and put her palm on her tummy.

“I’ll order our dinner after I freshen up okay.”

“Deh oppa.”

“Think of what you want to eat.”

Sulli nods, smiling while she caresses her stomach.

Minho removes her coat and tie along with his other clothes before he grabs a towel and walks into the bathroom.

Sulli furrows her eyebrows when she heard the door click, she was in pain.

“Be good baby, your appa must not know about what happen earlier. He has many worries.”

She calms her breathing and holds her tummy while she caresses it, hoping the pain subsides after a while.

She is sweating in the air conditioned room.

“Please baby.”

She caresses her tummy while she closes her eyes.

Minho steps out of the bathroom and dries his hair while glancing at his wife.

“Why are you frowning?”

Sulli shakes her head while she breathes normally.

“Nothing oppa.”

Minho walks to her without changing his clothes and holds her tummy.

“Are you in pain? You stay too long in the tub.”

Minho rushes to his phone and dialed Sulli’s personal doctor number.

“She stayed too long.”

Minho looks at her.

“How long?”

He asks her while holding her hand.

Sulli shakes her head, unable to remember.

“Can I? Okay thanks doctor.”

Minho wears his clothes and finds some suitable clothes for Sulli.

“We’ll get you checked. Can you move?”

Sulli nods.

She get down of the bed with difficulties and stands up, Minho removes her night gown and helps her wears her clothes.

“Wait, I’ll just carry you.”

Minho grabs his phone, car key and wallet.

                                                                                        ***

“Nothing is wrong Mr. Choi. It’s just a normal contraction.”

“But I read book that our doctor gave me, it states that contraction occurs when mom is in labor, so why did my wife had contractions earlier?”

The lady doctor smiles.

“The stretching of ligaments around the uterus can cause contractions too. It’s not something to be concern of since Mrs. Choi did not bleed.”

 “But she was in pain earlier.”

Sulli just keep mum, she can’t say anything. Minho was the one who ask everything.

“It’s your seventh right Mrs. Choi?”

“Yes doctor.”

“Did you experience too much pain?”

“Not too much but my back was in pain too.”

“Do you exercise regularly?”

“Not too much.”

“You should exercise a bit, about 30 minutes a day. Maintaining a regular exercise routine throughout your pregnancy can help you stay healthy and feel your best. It can also improve your posture and decrease some common discomforts like backaches and fatigue.”

“What exercises are safe for my wife doctor?”

Minho asked with concern.

“Most exercises are safe to perform during pregnancy; as long as you exercise with caution and do not overdo it. The safest and most productive activity is swimming. That’s why I don’t find any harm about Mrs. Choi being inside water for long.”

Minho nods few times.

“So, she is fine?”

The doctor nods again.

“Absolutely fine.”

Minho smiles.

“Thank you doctor.”

“You are welcome Mr. And Mrs. Choi.”

Minho helps Sulli up and walks out of the treatment room while holding her shoulder.

                                                                                                ***

“I was scared.”

Minho said while he caresses Sulli’s hair.

“Sorry oppa.”

“No, no. It’s not your fault.”

Minho sighs and kisses her forehead.

“I experienced a big lost when I was a teen, I was left with nothing. I’m afraid when I saw you are hurting. I‘m afraid that I will lose our son.”

Sulli caught Minho’s hand and kisses it.

“I will make sure that I will deliver our baby healthily oppa. I won’t let anything hurt him.”

Minho looks at her and nods.

“I don’t have anyone in this world yeobo. I only have you and him.”

“Oppa, can I ask you something?”

“What is it?”

Minho brushes her bang off her forehead.

“What happen to your aunt?”

Minho sighs.

“She is married, live far away from here.”

Sulli nods.

“I never saw her since I build my company. She can’t be traced.”

Minho let out a small laugh.

“You know that she hates me right?”

“Who knows she might have changed now oppa.”

“Let’s not talk about her yeobo. Sleep.”

Minho pulls Sulli’s blanket to cover her body and kisses her lips before he reaches for the night stand and switches off the lamp.

Ignore the grammar please...

I'm sleepy...

Goodnight dear...

Love you all...
