Falling Slowly

After the announcement of another addition to the family, Seohyun and Yonghwa's daily life continued as it usually did.

Usually, Yonghwa and Seohyun would wake up early to help the kids get ready for school and prepare themselves for work after. Then after work they'd have time helpiong their kids with homework - if they have any - before having some family fun time.

On one peculiar late evening, while coming home late from work, Yonghwa closed the door slowly and started lousily removing his shoes while sighing in resignation for the day. He was totally beat from going over paper works, signing them and dealing with three business meetings with potential business partners. Now, looking around at the empty and dark living room, he felt even more lousy that he missed a meal with his family.

Slowly, he found himself being dragged by his own two feet towards the kitchen. Closer to the door, he thought he saw a light coming from it and walked in carefully so not to surprise who it was and just in case that it was Seohyun having her midnight craving.

When he peaked, he saw someone's hand holding on to the refrigirator door.

"Joohyun?" He called out just in case it was Seohyun.

Curiously, Seohyun peeked her head out for a short second before standing up and closing the refrigerator door.

"Op *chump* pa. You're home." Seohyun greeted wiping the crumbs off her face.

Yonghwa couldn't help but chuckle as she cutely ran towards him for a hug.

"I missed you." Seohyun said before giving him a peck on the lips.

"I missed you too, love." He said and kissed the left over crumbs on her upper lips. "Uhmm. What were you eating?"

Seohyun blushed but took him arm to seat down on the kitchen counter. "I was kind of eating some left over chicken with yogurt and ketchup dip."

Yonghwa scrunched his face. "Yogurt and ketchup?"

His adorable five months pregnant wife pouted when she saw the expression on his face.

"Who gave you the right for that expression?" 

And with that, the alarms and red light went on. 

Ding! Ding! Ding! Congratulations you got earned yourself the title Mr. Stupid. Additional prices are as follows; a week of lonely nights; no kisses from the missus; cold food or no food; and specially more attention for Hanbi! Congratulations!

Screw you! Yonghwa yelled at shaking the illusion in his head.

"I-I'm not making any expression, love." He said trying to act cool and pulling his wife for a soft and gentle kiss. "I'm just curious about the taste. Still have some left?"

Seohyun raised her eyebrows and pouted knowing he was playing her to avoid her pregnancy hormone mania. And even though she knew about it, she still couldn't help but fall for his charms. Turning her back and pulling his arm, she motioned him to sit down as she grabbed the heated left over chicken and her yogurt and ketchup dip.

Tearing a piece and dipping it first in the yogurt then to the ketchup, she held the piece up to him and he managed not to show his hesitation as he willingly opened his mouth to eat take the food.

At first, he couldn't help but show his weirded out expression but when he kept chewing on it, the strange tangy flavor of the yogurt mixed with the ketchup grew on him.

"Hmm?" Seohyun gave him an 'I told you so' look and started taking some for herself.

"Hard to admit that that actually tasted good." He nodded and then quickly stole the piece on his wife's hand.

"Oppa~!" She whined and tapped him softly.

"What? I didn't do anything." He knowing how cute she gets when she's annoyed.

But instead of her usual expression. She seemed troubled with something else that it worried him. Putting down the piece of meat, he wiped his hands and wrapped them around his wife with his chin on her shoulder. 

"You're spacing out on me." He said placing a chaste kiss on her cheek. "Want to talk about it?"

Seohyun sighed. There was no point on hiding it from him. "Haneul."

"Okay. You need to stop with the sighing and tell me about it. What about Haneul anyway?" Yonghwa asked giving her a squeeze.

"I... I can't stop thinking how she looked so broken. I wanted so much," she sighed and gritted her teeth. "I REALLY wanted so much to the depths of my core, to tell her how we'd become a family. How she found me and you. How she gave us more happiness. And how she is giving us more of it in every single second, minute, hours, and days of our lives. I REALLY want to tell her so so much!"

Letting her go for a second, he swiveled her chair so that she was facing him. "You're the most wonderful human being and I don't even know what I did to ever deserve someone like you."

Cupping both her cheeks, he gave her butterfly kisses and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"For Haneul, the best thing we can do right now and for every day of her life and ours, is to be there for her and show her that no matter the whats, whos, hows, we will always love her. And that she may not be ours in the way we wanted but in here," he took her hand and pressed it on his chests then to hers, "she IS ours."

"Our Haneul." Seohyun said in a sniffle.

"Yes." Yong kissed his hand and her lips. "OUR Haneul."

 

In the midst of watching Seohyun and Yonghwa's good friend's culinary expertise, Sunny couldn't shake the feeling that she shouldn't have agreed to come out with Seohyun. Especially now that she's in her final stages of her last trimester. The feeling was creating goosebumps on her skin and sending prickles at the back of her neck. And when she rubbed that particular part of her neck, she noticed a small puddle of water under Seohyun.

"Eoh?" Sunny cautiously wrapped her hand on Seohyun's waist pulling her aside before turning towards the chef. "Excuse me. I think you might have a leak or something."

"A leak? Where?" He bent towards the counter and saw the puddle. 

"Hm? What's wrong unnie?" Seohyun asked giving her a curious look.

"Huh? That's strange." The good looking chef said and looked up at his ceiling. 

"What's strange?" Sunny turned to the man and looked up at the ceiling.

"The leak couldn't have been from the ceiling. I don't have any pipe or air vent installed on the ceiling." He answered.

"Maybe your staff forgot to mop this area?" She suggested.

"Unnie." Seohyun called out but the two were too preoccupied by the water puddle.

"Not possible. There's noone here besides us. And I made sure everything's safe and secure for Seohyun's sake before you two came." He answered again.

"Eoh..." Sunny looked at the puddle again and saw that it was only on that particular spot. "Maybe..."

"Unnie." Seohyun grabbed Sunny's arm making her meet the younger girl's wide open eyes.

"No. No way." The short girl muttered with her eyes growing wider.
