“No… I told you to get out?”

I was sitting with my butt pressed against the toilet, my lower body forcibly removed.

Of course, not a single drop of urine came out, but that was understandable because Shin A-reum was staring at me with a rather serious expression.

“Oh, okay. I’ll turn around.”

“… Huh, really… What are you doing… .”

He had an expression that said he was doing a lot of good deeds.

“I’m fine, so take it easy.”

And now he’s even nagging me.

“… I’m really angry.”

Of course, there was nothing that couldn’t be fought over.

But, the whole situation we’ve been going through right now is so funny, that it makes me even more annoyed now.

“… … .”

“… … .”

A bathroom filled with the sound of water dripping from the sink.

There we were in a strange standoff.

Arami slowly turns her head to me first.

“… … Get angry. I won’t go out anyway.”

And then, Arami, who had returned to her original state, stood there with her arms crossed.

“Sigh… .”

I don’t know why he does that.

If I knew the reason, this frustration would go away a little, but no… Actually, I vaguely know why he does that.

That’s why my heart is getting even more depressed.

Shhh—

“Ah… .”

And then, perhaps because the tension had been released for a moment, a torrent of urine poured out from under me.

Soon, a loud sound of water echoed through the bathroom, but I couldn’t help feeling embarrassed.

Knock knock knock

After peeing so frantically, the end came.

And Arami’s shoulders flinched at the sudden decrease in the water flow.

“Are you done?”

“Ha… .”

I just kept my mouth shut, thinking that he was asking such a trivial question.

“Wipe it properly.”

“… I’ll figure it out.”

Fortunately, he didn’t rush in and say he would clean it up.

I absentmindedly cut a few strips of tissue paper and tapped the bottom.

Shhh—

And to the sound of the cool water flowing down, I pulled up my panties and pants that had fallen down.

“… Hey, let me wash my hands.”

“Ah, uh.”

Arami turned around and tried to support me again.

I pushed that beauty back and washed my hands at the sink.

“No, but how far are you going to follow me?”

“… Go to my room. I have something to say.”

The cold water becomes warm.

I wash my hands by lathering them with soap.

If it were normal, I would have washed it all and still have some left over.

Today I washed every nook and cranny thoroughly for no reason.

“… Go out first. It’ll be weird if we go out together.”

I muttered that to Arami, but Arami didn’t move an inch.

“That’s not weird.”

And then he wipes my hands with a towel, no matter when he holds it in his hand.

“Okay, let’s go now.”

He also put his hand on my shoulder and treated me like I was a patient.

“Haa… I told you, you don’t have to catch this.”

“This is more comfortable.”

It seems like he doesn’t care that I’m uncomfortable.

But I could bear it, and I didn’t want to keep talking to someone I didn’t understand, and my arms were still a little warm… so I just kept walking in silence.

“Sigh… .”

“… Why are you sighing?”

“I don’t know.”

It just came out on its own.

Even if you ask me why, I have nothing to say.

“Don’t do it anyway.”

“… Ha!”

I didn’t pray.

My mother’s expression from earlier is probably all over my face right now.

Squeak—

The door opened.

widely-

It closes within.

Tick-

The door is locked.

“Sit on the bed and talk.”

Such notifications continue.

The two of us went to the bed and sat down.

No, I was sitting with my butt pressed against the edge, and Arami was standing in front of me, looking down at me.

“… What.”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

Blink your eyes a few times.

Then he clenches and unclenches his fists repeatedly, then begins rubbing his palms together.

“… What are you doing? If you have something to say, say it quickly.”

“Ah… Wait a minute.”

The nervousness is evident.

I too was refreshed by Arum’s rare reaction.

But that’s it.

“… I said I’m tired. If you have nothing to say, just leave.”

I know what you’re going to say.

That may be why this kind of place feels more uncomfortable.

No, I’m sure it would be like that.

So I sit up.

With my body raised, I stepped forward with my legs on the floor.

“Ah, so divine!”

And then there’s A-reum who catches me again.

How many times has this happened…?

“… Let go, I told you my wrist hurts.”

This time I was surprised and thought he would let go of my wrist, but this time he held on, holding on tight to my wrist.

“You said it hurts…?”

“Don’t let go. Just endure it.”

“Ha… .”

What on earth is this? Anyway, Arami grabbed my hand and stood in front of me.

“Sit down.”

“… … Uh.”

I was somehow overwhelmed by the calm and composed atmosphere and the slightly scary expression on Arum’s face.

“I have a lot to say, so… You, just sit still and listen. Got it?”

“… Uh.”

“Hoo… .”

And Arami took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth.

“Ah… .”

The sound of air escaping echoes a few more times.

“So, you’re, uh, uh… pregnant… right…?”

A cautious question follows.

“Uh.”

I was a little surprised at how everyone was so quick to notice that I only felt a little nauseated.

“… Really?”

“Oh, why.”

“… Um, um… The hospital? Did you go to the hospital?”

“Ugh… .”

It was a repertoire I had experienced earlier.

“Yeah.”

So my answer was the same.

“Ah… I see… .”

A mind-boggling reaction.

Of course, it was within my expectations.

“Are you done talking?”

I asked Arami, who was just standing there blankly.

“No… Then, what… do you want to do?”

“I’ll give birth.”

I answered as if it was a given.

“Ah… I see… .”

Arami responded with a blank expression this time too.

“… … .”

“… … .”

And so silence fell upon us again.

“No more?”

I fiddled with my fingers and muttered softly.

“… Oh, yeah.”

“Then… I’ll go.”

I got up more slowly than before.

I move to the side to avoid Arum, who is blocking my way.

The hand that was holding me loosened with a slurp.

And in that moment, many thoughts cross my mind.

Naturally, my steps slow down.

I was just glad that Arami wasn’t causing a fuss right away, so I couldn’t help but let out a little laugh.

“… … Ah, down there… .”

It was in front of the door.

All I had to do was open the locked door and go out.

“… Uh.”

I turned around.

There was Arami standing right behind me.

*

(Shin A-reum)

My head was dizzy.

Many thoughts crossed my mind.

A bad thought… flashes through my mind.

I also remembered what Shinsarang had said.

Now, what if things never change back to how they were before… Those words keep swimming around in my head.

Actually… that’s not important.

The child in Shindaun’s stomach right now, funny enough, was Shindaun’s child anyway… so it wasn’t something I could get involved in.

And it is said that such a god will be born.

What right do I have to stop this?

Just because she is carrying a child is because she is a new lover? But that new love is carrying ‘my’ child in ‘my’ body?

… … And, what if this current pregnancy is because of me? Maybe it’s okay to think of it as my child.

“Ah… .”

There was no clear conclusion.

However, I don’t want Shindaun’s expression to darken.

Shindawoon, who has been feeling depressed these days.

I wish that weren’t the case.

This was just what I was feeling.

“… So you went to the hospital earlier?”

“… … Uh.”

“What are you saying?”

“… It’s been 5 weeks.”

“Oh, I see… ..”

My gaze naturally turns to Shindawoon’s belly.

“… What did the lady say?”

“You didn’t say anything.”

“… Really?”

All I could think about was that I had to go to the lady first.

“Let’s go.”

“… Where.”

“To the lady.”

“… .Why.”

“I have to tell you.”

“… Why you.”

“Now it’s my child… .”

I took Shindaun’s hand.

Hold each other’s hands and clasp your hands together.

I felt a small, warm hand.

“… Mom knows, right?”

“But I have to tell you anyway.”

He grabbed my hand and pulled me along.

I opened the locked door.

And we went out.

.

.

.

I got hit hard on the back.

I got hit so many times that I couldn’t even count the number of times.

However, getting hit doesn’t necessarily mean it hurts.

I just got hit, or maybe it was a bit too much, but it didn’t hurt.

“Oh my, are you bragging about that to your mom right now?”

“… … Sorry.”

I had nothing to say except that I was sorry.

“… I’m sorry! Why are you sorry to Mom! You should be sorry to Arami and Sarang!”

“Ugh… .”

“… Are you laughing?”

“I don’t feel sorry towards them both. I just feel sorry towards my mom.”

“Oh my!”

The palm flew in again.

The lady seemed weaker than before, perhaps because she had lost strength.

“… So what do you want me to do?”

“… … I have to give birth.”

“Oh my gosh… I’m going crazy, seriously.”

The woman taps her chest several times, as if she feels frustrated.

“I’ll tell my father.”

The lady told me to do it myself.

He seemed angry, but didn’t say anything else.

“… You give me permission, right?”

“Allow? If I tell you not to have children, then you won’t have children?”

“No… .”

“Then don’t ask!!”

“Huh… I won’t ask.”

“If you can’t speak.”

The woman waved her hand as if she didn’t want to even look at me.

And maybe it’s my imagination, but the corners of his lips seemed to go up just a little bit.

“Sigh… .”

Shindawoon’s sigh as he held his breath next to him.

“Breathe, breathe.”

“Hoo… .”

“Are you okay?”

“… My heart is about to burst.”

And I take that kind of god down to Shinsarang.

Knock- knock-

There was no answer when I knocked.

The door was open, so I just opened it and went in.

“… New love.”

Shinsarang, lying with his back to the door, flinched.
