The next day...

Jong Kook and Ji Hyo were having a late brunch since they woke up late. Jong Kook purposely prepared seaweed soup for Ji Hyo.

"Yeobo, you love seaweed soup, right? Try my cooking..." Jong Kook scoops a bowl of soup with rice for Ji Hyo.

 

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Oh! Yeobo! Can you open the door for me?!" Jong Kook calls to Ji Hyo.

Ji Hyo walks to the door, and opens it.

It was the running man members.

"Noonaaaa!!!!" Kwang Soo shouted as he hugs Ji Hyo the moment he sees her.

"Yah! Lee Kwang Soo! How dare you?!" Jong Kook drags Kwang Soo away from Ji Hyo, which made Ji Hyo laugh.

Jong Kook looks at Ji Hyo laughing and he laughs as well.

"Come and sit down everyone..I made breakfast.." 

"What time is it now? You two are still having breakfast?!" Jae Suk asks.

"Neh..is there any problem?!" Jong Kook rebuts. The two powerhouses are always bickering with each other.

"Yah..yah..no problem at all!" Jae Suk answers as he sits down on the dining table with the rest.

The rest were making grim expressions.

Suk Jin looks down on the plates and utensils.

Haha was playing with his fingers.

Gary was fiddling with his phone.

Ji Hyo watches all of their dead serious expressions. She knows that they were worried for her condition, but they tried hard not to show it in front of her.

She also keeps silent as she tucks into her food, trying hard to smile. 

"Hey guys..what are you all doing? Quickly eat!" Jong Kook livens up the atmosphere.

He was glaring at them, and secretly kicked their feet to ask them to be more cheerful in front of Ji Hyo.

"Hyung..yucks....what is this?! Do you not know how to cook?!!!" Kwang Soo suddenly asks, ready to spit the food out.

"Mwuh rah goo?!!..I spent time to cook this, swallow it! Don't spit it out!" Jong Kook orders the tall maknae.

Kwang Soo started acting silly. He really spat the food out, but not on the table but on Jong Kook's shirt.

"Yah!!! What are you doing?!!!" Jong Kook wipes his shirt with a tissue.

"Hyung..oh mianhe! But this is really inedible!!" 

Everyone started laughing, including Ji Hyo.

Ji Hyo laughs..She knew that they were trying to make her happy, and for this, she was really thankful.

She quietly eats the food..Since she couldn't tell Jong Kook that it was delicious, she could only show it.

"Yeobo..Kwang Soo said it's not nice.." Jong Kook tells Ji Hyo.

Ji Hyo shakes her head and she pointed a thumbs-up while continuing eating.

"Gomawo..yeobo.." Jong Kook smiles, feeling touched as he pats her head lightly.

 

After they ate, they sat on the sofa. The atmosphere now was more light-hearted after Kwang Soo's antics.

Haha brings Ji Hyo to the sofa.

"Hyungsoo nim, let's watch TV!" He takes the TV controller and switches on the TV.

"Dong Hoon ah..I thought you have nice movies..Did you bring them?" Gary asks.

"Aye..I forgot. I will bring them next time!" Haha has a stash of comedy movies, that would make people laugh until they cry.

"Guys..have some fruits!" Jong Kook brings the cut fruits to the coffee table before settling down right beside Ji Hyo.

Jong Kook sidehugs Ji Hyo as they watched the TV show.

"Let's watch another channel!" Jong Kook proposed as he changes the channel.

 

The TV was switched to the KBS channel and they were screening Return of Superman at that time.

Everyone froze when they realised it.

"Uh...hahaha..let's watch sbs!" Kwang Soo awkwardly laughs as he takes the controller.

Ji Hyo held onto the controller, and shook her head.

Everyone remains silent afterwards as Ji Hyo was glued to the show.

Song Il Guk and his triplets were on the show. Daehan, Minguk and Manse were on the TV and they were very cute. Daehan is the oldest, and he is a responsible kid, and will look after dongsaengs..Minguk is a cutie one, he makes cute expressions everytime, and makes people laugh and smile at him. 

Ji Hyo smiles at the triplets cutely interacting with one another and their father.

Jong Kook glances at Ji Hyo worriedly..He sidehugged her more tightly..

 

The entire living room was quiet except for the audio from the TV until Gary gave a comment.

"Hmm..aish...Looking after children are really hard, II Guk sshi is struggling to take care of the three of them..It's best not to have any!"

Everyone stares at Gary in shock, silently berating him with their sharp stares.

Ji Hyo looks down at her fingers while tears fall.

"Yeobo..yeobo.." Jong Kook kisses Ji Hyo's hair and brings her close to him.

"It's okay..love.." 

Ji Hyo looks up at Jong Kook.

"........Oo......p..pp...aaa.......I....I......aa...mm....." Ji Hyo speaks, then she started choking as she held onto .

"Love..are you alright?! Yeobo..calm down!!" Jong Kook panickedly hugs her and rubs her back.

Ji Hyo coughed as she strained to talk but no words came out.

"Ji Hyo ya, don't say anything..I know what you want to say.." Jong Kook calms her down.

"Mian......" And Ji Hyo heaves breathlessly.

"Sshhh...oppa's here! Gwenchana..gwenchana.." Jong Kook comforts her.

"Guys..I'll bring Ji Hyo to her room..You all continue.." Jong Kook informs everyone before he helps Ji Hyo up and brings her upstairs.

 

Jong Kook settles Ji Hyo on the bed.

He sits beside her, and covers her with the blanket.

Ji Hyo grasps onto Jong Kook's arm.

"I won't leave..don't worry...I will be here, alright?" Jong Kook caresses Ji Hyo's face as he endures his tears.

Ji Hyo nods. She closes her eyes and Jong Kook sat watching her sleep.

Seeing Ji Hyo suffering in misery, Jong Kook is determined to seek revenge for his unborn baby...

 

Downstairs, the running man members were still aghast watching Ji Hyo's attack. They started scolding Gary for being obtuse.

"I'm sorry..I thought this would make her less sad. .."

"Gary ah..you are really...haish..." Suk Jin shakes his head.

Jong Kook walks down the stairs after Ji Hyo has fallen asleep.

"Jong Kook ah..how's Ji Hyo?"

"She's asleep.."

"I'm sorry, hyung.." Gary comes up and apologises.

"Gwenchana.." Jong Kook pats Gary's back as he sits on the sofa.

"Jong Kook ah..Ji Hyo's condition is pretty bad. Should you bring her to a doctor?" Suk Jin asks worriedly.

"..Neh..Jong Kook ah..Ji Hyo needs to get well soon, if she can't talk for the rest of her life....." Jae Suk stops as he shakes his head. "Ani..it's not going to happen.." 

Jong Kook hears what they said, and instantly he felt very depressed. Jae Suk is right...Ji Hyo still has a long career ahead of her and now she being muted had lots of consequences.

 

The running man members later leave their house.

Jong Kook returns upstairs..

He walked past the baby's room an
