“Sorry to burden you appa. I can’t let her stay on her own.”

“Why say sorry Minho? I’m glad you bring her here.”

Minho sighs.

“If only I can avoid it.”

“It’s okay oppa.”

Minho caresses her hand with his thumb.

He looks at his wife’s face with a frown.

“Will you be fine yeobo?”

“I will oppa. Don’t worry.”

“I’ll make sure I’ll be there during your labor.”

Sulli smiles and nods.

“How long will you be there Minho?”

“It won’t exceed a month appa. I’ll just need to observe everything during the first month. I just have to exceed my stay if there were problem at the construction site.”

“Ahjumma can take care of Sulli. She is like a mother to her. Relax and finish your work perfectly neh.”

“Deh appa. I’ll keep that in mind.”

“You will be going tomorrow right?”

Minho nods.

“My friend will send me to the airport. You just stay at home neh.”

Sulli nods.

“As you say oppa.”

“Go take some rest Minho, Sulli. It’s late.”

“Deh.”

Sulli stands up from the couch with Minho’s help.

“Goodnight appa.”

Mr. Choi nods and smiles at them.

Minho closes the door and sits behind Sulli on the bed. He hugs her and caresses her tummy.

“I’ll be missing you.”

“Me too oppa.”

He kisses her hair and sighs.

“I will bring you along if you are still in your early pregnancy.”

“Kenchana oppa.”

“I did not expect this project to be approved this soon. I think I will be going to Beijing in another 3 months. After your labor.”

“Work come first right oppa.”

“Family too.”

He sighs again.

“If only I can split myself.”

Sulli giggles.

“Is it funny?”

Sulli smiles and squeezes Minho’s hand.

“Will Luna unni go with you?”

“No, I’ll go with two male employees. I can’t bring Luna along. Poor Joonie.”

“Poor Jonghyun oppa too.”

Sulli chuckles.

“Deh, poor him.”

Minho removes his holds on Sulli’s body and sits beside her.

“Don’t you want to lie down?”

Sulli shakes her head.

“After a while.”

Minho nods.

“Call me if anything happens neh.”

Sulli smiles.

“I will oppa.”

“If you can’t reach me, call Luna, she knows how to get me during emergency.”

“Deh.”

“Be careful when you go for a walk at the park. Bring ahjumma along with you neh.”

Sulli nods again.

“Why do I feel like I don’t want to leave you?”

Sulli chuckles which makes Minho smiles.

“You just worried oppa.”

“I am. How can I not. You are in your eight months.”

“There is still a month to go oppa.”

“I want to be there on your labor.”

“You will. He will wait.”

Minho chuckles.

He leans to her tummy and kisses it.

“Wait for appa neh my son.”

“Taemin, Zyra found something when she tidied up your room few months ago.”

Taemin stops playing with his phone and look at Jinki.

“What is it?”

“Did you have a photo of Sulli with you?”

Taemin nods.

Jinki sighs.

“Why Taem?”

“I’ve told you hyung. I love her.”

“But you have her photo since before that incident.”

“That’s when she is still a single lady. I took her photo secretly.”

“Where is the photo now Taem?”

“I kept it. Why?”

“You should give it to her. She is someone else’s wife.”

“Hyung, jebal.”

“I’m the one who suppose to say that to you Taemin.”

Taemin smiles.

“Don’t worry hyung. I won’t ruin anything.”

“You are going to Taemin. If you did not back off now.”

Taemin smiles his signature smile as he stares on Jinki.

“You worry too much hyung.”

“You are my brother Taem, I want you to lead a decent life. How can I not worry if you behave this way.”

“You should get married.”

“Taemin, it’s not a problem.”

“It is. How long have you dated Zyra? You should get married by now hyung.”

He laughs.

Jinki sighs.

“Follows me to somewhere tomorrow.”

“Where?”

“To meet my friend, Suzy.”

Jinki closes the door of Taemin’s room after he walks out.

“Suzy?”

Taemin wrinkles his forehead trying to remember who the lady was.

His face turns pale when he remembers her. He fists his hand and grits his teeth.

“I can’t live with you anymore hyung. You take me as an insane.”

                                                                                        ***

Sulli was walking at the park with her maid when she met Taemin.

“Hi Sulli.”

“Oppa.”

Taemin smiles and jogs to her.

“What are you doing here oppa?”

“Jogging.”

He answers simply without fading his smile.

“You are everywhere.”

Taemin chuckles.

Sulli smiles.

She just saw Taemin last two days when she went for her last checkups.

He was there when she meet her father at school too, discussing some property business with him.

And now, he is in front of her, sweating in his sweat pants and shirt, jogging in the park near her appa’s house.

“I live nearby.”

“Really? I thought you live with Mr. Lee.”

“I have to move out sometimes. He will get engaged in the near future.”

Sulli nods.

“Are you exercising? I heard pregnant ladies should walk a lot.”

“You guess it right oppa. It will help me during labor.”

Taemin nods.

“Where is Minho?”

Taemin ask innocently. He knows he is not in Korea. Sulli’s appa told him when he met him before.

“He’ll be back in two days oppa. His project needs him presence there.”

“But you need him more am I right?”

Sulli chuckles.

“I’m fine with it.”

Sulli looks at an empty bench beside her and sits down when she feels a bit uneasy.

She let out a sigh as she holds her swollen tummy.

“Are you in pain Miss Sulli?”

Her maid asks in worried.

“I think it’s just a normal contractions again ahjumma.”

“Are you sure Sulli? I can send you to the clinic.”

“I’m sure oppa. It’s not my due yet.”

Sulli breathe in difficulties when the pain on her lower abdomen getting worse.

Sweats began to form on her forehead.

She breathes through and let it out while she supports her back with her right hand.

“Sulli, you don’t look good.”

“I think we have to go to the hospital Miss Sulli, just in case.”

Sulli still tries to calms her breathing while she remembers her doctor’s advice.

Taemin and her maid look at her with worries eyes.

Sulli shriek in pain after a moment which makes Taemin carries her in his arm and asks Sulli’s maid to follows him to his car.

“Call Mr. Choi.”

Taemin said as he handed his phone to Sulli’s maid.

"Call Luna unni too ahjumma."
