6 Months Later - Spring, Busan
No news.
No board.
No Yoon-hee.
Just... life.
Jae-hyun’s company: 40 employees.
Profitable.
Home by 6 PM. Every day.
Me: Mom. Wife.
Not nanny. Not anymore.
Kids: Happy. Safe. Loud.
8:00 AM - Saturday Morning
Pancakes.
Again.
Tradition now.
Min-woo: “Dad, can we get a dog?”
Jae-hyun: “Ask Mom.”
Min-ah: “Mommy, can we get a dog?”
Me: “We’ll talk about it.”
Both kids: “THAT’S A YES!”
Jae-hyun winked at me.
“You’re soft.”
“You made me this way.”
10:00 AM - The Doctor's Appointment
Just me.
Alone.
I was late.
Test in my bag.
2 lines.
Positive.
I sat in the car.
Cried.
Happy cried.
12:00 PM - Lunch
Family lunch.
Beachside restaurant.
His hand on my knee under the table.
“Something wrong?” he asked.
“Nothing. Everything’s perfect.”
3:00 PM - Nap Time
Kids down.
Quiet house.
For once.
I sat on the bed.
Test in my hand.
He came in.
“Hey. You okay? You’ve been quiet.”
I held up the test.
His face.
Confusion.
Then realization.
Then...
“Oh.”
“Yeah. Oh.”
“Are you—”
“Yes.”
He dropped to his knees.
Right there.
Head on my stomach.
“Hey baby,” he whispered.
To my stomach.
Then to me.
“Soo-jin. Are you happy?”
“I’m terrified. And happy.”
“Me too.”
He kissed my stomach.
Then kissed me.
Crying and laughing.
“We’re having a baby.”
“We’re having a baby.”
6:00 PM - Telling The Kids
We sat them down.
“Min-woo. Min-ah. Mommy has news.”
“What?”
“You’re going to be big brother and big sister.”
Silence.
Then:
“WE’RE GETTING A BABY??”
They screamed.
Hugged me.
Hugged him.
Jumped on the couch.
Min-ah: “Can it be a girl?”
Min-woo: “Can it be a boy?”
Jae-hyun: “Can it be healthy?”
We all agreed.
8:00 PM - Calling Family
Mrs. Kang cried.
“Another grandbaby! Jae-hyun!”
Mr. Kang: “I’m buying a crib tomorrow.”
My mom: “Omma is so happy, Soo-jin-ah.”
10:00 PM - Bedroom
He couldn’t sleep.
Kept touching my stomach.
Like it wasn’t real yet.
“I’m scared,” he said.
“Of what?”
“Of messing up. Again.”
“You won’t. You’re the best dad.”
“I’m the best husband because of you.”
He pulled me close.
Hand on my stomach.
“Hey little one. Daddy’s here. And Mommy’s here. And you’re so loved already.”
I fell asleep to his voice.
Next Week - Doctor
Heartbeat.
Strong.
Healthy.
12 weeks.
Jae-hyun cried in the doctor’s office.
The nurse gave him tissues.
He kept them.
1 Month Later - Baby Shower
20 people.
At our house.
Blue and yellow.
No theme.
Just “baby”.
Kids ran around with “Big Brother” and “Big Sister” shirts.
Jae-hyun grilled.
I sat.
Rubbed my bump.
A friend: “You guys look so happy.”
Jae-hyun: “We are.”
5 Months Later - Nursery
We painted it together.
Green.
Neutral.
Min-woo painted a dinosaur.
Min-ah painted a unicorn.
Jae-hyun painted “LOVE” on the wall.
Crooked.
Perfect.
7 Months Later - His Birthday
No party.
Just us.
And cake.
And kids singing off-key.
Present from me:
A photo album.
First page: Him in sweatpants making pancakes.
Last page: Ultrasound photo.
He cried.
Again.
8 Months Later - Hospital Bag
Packed.
By him.
3 times.
“Just in case,” he said.
“I’m not due for a month.”
“Just in case.”
9 Months - The Call
2 AM.
Contractions.
He drove.
Fast but safe.
Hand on my leg.
“Breath, Soo-jin. I’m here.”
10:00 PM - Delivery Room
18 hours.
He didn’t leave my side.
Held my hand.
Wiped my forehead.
Cursed with me.
And then:
Crying.
Tiny.
Perfect.
“A girl,” the nurse said.
Jae-hyun cut the cord.
Shaking.
They put her on my chest.
He sat next to us.
Crying.
“Hi,” he whispered.
“Hi baby girl. I’m Daddy. This is Mommy.”
Name: Kang Ha-rin
Meaning: "Big. Forest."
Because she’s going to grow big.
And strong.
And free.
2 Weeks Later - Home
No sleep.
No problem.
We were home.
Min-woo: “She’s so small!”
Min-ah: “Can I hold her?”
Jae-hyun: “Gently, princess.”
He was an expert now.
Bottles. Diapers. Burping.
9 to 6 dad.
24/7 dad.
1 Month Later - Picture
All 5 of us.
On the blue couch.
Me. Him.
Min-woo. Min-ah. Ha-rin.
Framed.
On the wall.
6 Months Later - Ha-rin’s First Birthday
Wait no. 6 months.
First steps.
First word: “Dada”
Second word: “Mama”
Jae-hyun recorded everything.
Phone full.
1 Year Later - Today
Same kitchen.
Pancakes.
Again.
Min-woo: 6.
Min-ah: 6.
Ha-rin: 1. Walking.
Me: Mom. Wife.
Jae-hyun: Dad. Husband. CEO of 50 people.
He came up behind me.
Wrapped his arms around me.
Kissed my neck.
“Morning, Mrs. Kang.”
“Morning, Mr. Kang.”
Kids ran in.
“Daddy! Pancakes!”
“Coming, champ.”
After breakfast, he pulled me to the balcony.
Ocean.
Same view.
Different life.
“Remember when I was pretending to be broke?”
“I remember.”
“Remember when the board tried to take you?”
“I remember.”
“Remember when you said yes?”
“I remember.”
He took my hand.
Bracelet still there.
Worn.
Loved.
“I got the family I always wanted,” he said.
“So did I.”
“Thank you, Soo-jin.”
“Thank you, Jae-hyun.”
He kissed me.
Kids yelled from inside:
“STOP KISSING AND MAKE MORE PANCAKES!”
We laughed.
And went inside.
To our family.
