“When the hell will I board the plane?”

“In a bit Mr. Choi.”

Minho grits his teeth.

“What makes you this late? My wife is in labor.”

“Sorry Mr. choi.”

Minho fists his hand and tried to make a call to Seoul.

“And this damn connection.”

He grips his phone while he glares at his assistant.

“What are you doing standing here? Go and make my flight back to Korea happens.”

“Deh Mr. Choi.”

The latter bows and runs to the administration office.

“Yeobo, I hope everything is fine. I’m sorry I can’t be there by your side.”

He whispers to himself as he closes his eyes, praying for his wife.

                                                                                        ***

“Sulli ah, I’m going home to fetch Joonie. Will you be okay alone?”

“I’ll be fine unni. Thank you for accompanying me.”

Luna glances to her watch.

“Maybe Mr. Minho will be here after an hour. He’ll come straight here.”

“Deh unni.”

Luna caresses her hair and walks to the couch where Jonghyun is sleeping.

“Babe.”

Jonghyun wakes up and yawns.

“Hmm.”

“Let’s go home.”

“Sulli?”

“Ahjumma is here. Mr. Minho will arrive soon too.”

Jonghyun nods.

“We’ll go home first Sulli. Take care.”

“Deh. Gomawo oppa.”

“Do you want to take a bath Miss Sulli?”

“Deh ahjumma. I think I should bath while he is sleeping.”

“Do you want anything to eat?”

“Can you make me some abalone porridge?”

“Deh Miss Sulli. I’ll head home now.”

“Take your time ahjumma. Don’t rush neh. Maybe Zyra will be here soon.”

“Deh. Careful Miss Sulli.”

Sulli smiles and nods.

She kisses her son’s forehead and walks slowly to the bathroom.

                                                                                        ***

“Sulli.”

Taemin walk in after he doesn’t get any response from Sulli.

He walks further and smiles when he heard the sound of shower from inside the bathroom.

“She is bathing.”

“Annyeong chagiya.”

He traces the baby’s cheek with his finger.

He then sits down on the chair while he waits for her.

Sulli walks out after few minutes, looking fresh after the warm bath.

“Oppa.”

Taemin smiles.

“How are you doing?”

Sulli smiles.

“Better.”

She walks with bit difficulties.

“Can you walk?”

“I can oppa. Just a bit slower.”

She chuckles and sits on the bed.

Taemin stands and helps Sulli sits comfortably on the bed.

“I bet he is not yet here.”

Sulli nods.

“His flight got delayed.”

“What about his private jet?”

“Molla oppa. I still haven’t talk to Minho oppa.”

Taemin nods few times.

“Maybe he wants to finish his work first.”

Sulli just smile even that she feel a bit uncomfortable with Taemin.

He is his savior, he is not the one to be forgotten.

“Have you eaten?”

“Not yet.”

“Do you want me to buy any? It seems like no one accompany you here.”

“Luna unni and Jonghyun oppa just go back. Ahjumma went home to cook for me. She will be here soon.”

“Hmm. What’s his name?”

“Minho oppa will give it.”

“Why? He is your son right?”

“I want him to give a name to our son oppa.”

Taemin nods again.

Sulli massages her temple, feeling a bit dizzy.

“Are you okay?”

“Deh, just a bit dizzy.”

“Lie down a bit. You need rest.”

Sulli was hesitant at first but her body was still weak that she closes her eyes.

“I’ll just sit here.”

Taemin said to himself and stares at the sleeping Suli.

He was doing that for a long 10 minutes when Sulli wrinkles her forehead and murmurs in her sleep.

“Sulli ah.”

He called while he holds her hand.

“Oppa, don’t go.”

She mumbles with closed eyes.

“I won’t go anywhere.”

Taemin smiles and leans to kiss her hand.

                                                                                        ***

Minho was walking really fast to Sulli’s ward. He waited long for the elevator to reach the lobby but it seems like he waited forever.

He sprints to the emergency stair and runs to reach the floor faster.

Minho calms down his breathing and turns the door knob to his wife’s room.

He push it a bit to check on her when he hear her mumbles.

“Oppa, don’t go.”

“With whom is she talking to?”

Minho fists his hand and walks inside.

Sulli is sleeping.

“Sleep talking again?”

He shakes his head, chuckling.

He saw a man’s back facing to him while he leans to Sulli’s hand.

“I won’t go anywhere.”

“Taemin.”

Minho’s smiles fades. He then stomps to him and grabs his collar.

“What are you doing to my wife?”

Taemin nearly stumbled upon the impact but still he smiles when he saw Minho’s angry face.

“Minho.”

He removes Minho’s hand harshly from his collar and he smoothes his suit.

“You took forever to come to your wife and this is how you thank your wife and kid’s savior?”

“What the hell Taemin? You are taking advantage from her.”

“She doesn’t want me to leave. What do I do?”

“She doesn’t mean it.”

“Whatever.”

Taemin shrugs and lefts the room with his mocking smiles.

Minho holds the urge to punch his face and went to his wife’s bed.

“Sulli.”

He mouthed and kisses his wife’s forehead.

“I’m sorry.”

                                                                                        ***

Zyra was walking to the hospital lobby with Jinki when she saw Taemin walking to his car.

“Oppa, its’ your brother.”

“Where?”

“There.”

“Wait for me inside, I’ll be back.”

Zyra nods.

Jinki skips to Taemin and holds his shoulder.

“Hyung.”

Taemin smiles upon seeing Jinki.

“Why are you here?”

“Sulli.”

“Taem.”

“Thank me hyung. She delivers the baby safely thanks to me.”

“You did that on purpose right. You stay there on purpose. You know Minho wasn’t in the country.”

“I did. But I didn’t plan that she will give birth at that time.”

Taemin chuckles.

“Why you can’t leave them alone?”

“I’ve told you.”

Jinki sighs.

“You will regret it Taemin ah.”

“I’m going to the end. Whether I will regret it or not, I’ll take care of it.”

He shoves Jinki’s hand from his shoulder and climbs into his car.

                                                                                        ***

Sulli opens her eyes when she feels warm breathe on her forehead.

“Oppa.”

She said weakly.

Minho smiles and took her hand.

“You just came?”

Minho nods.

“I’m sorry. The weather is quite bad; I can’t fly back in instant.”

“Kenchana.”

Sulli squeezes his hand.

“Oppa, look at our son.”

Minho cranes turns his head and smiles.

“Hold him.”

Minho nods and walks to the cot.

He lifts his son to his face and kisses him.

A drop of tear falls from his eyes.

“Kamsahamnida yeobo. He is perfect.”

Sulli wipes her tears that falls when she saw him crying.

The scene is so beautiful that she forget how much pain she’s been through while waiting for him during her labor.

Minho switches his view to her.

He smiles warmly.

“He is you. Exactly you.”

She said with a low chuckle.

Minho leans to Sulli and kisses her head.

“He is us.”

Sulli nods.

“What will his name be oppa?”

Minho smiles. Tracing his finger on his smooth cheek, he switches his glance to Sulli.

“Yoogeun. Choi Yoogeun.”

Yoogeun moves in Minho’s arm before he let out a small cry.

“He is crying.”

“I think he is hungry.”

Sulli her blouse, getting ready to feed him.

Sulli shifts her position when Minho gives Yoogeun to her.

Minho stares at them with full of love.

The way Sulli caresses Yoogeun while she feeds him warm his heart.

The view of Taemin kissing her hand when he walks in fades from his eyes.

“I’ll let that slide Taemin.”

He whispers to himself while he kisses Sulli’s lips.

“I miss you so much.”

“Me too oppa.”

Sorry again…

Ready for the unwanted storm…

Love you guys…

Stay healthy and keep smiling…
