(new)

The meal continued without any problems, thanks to the delicious food in a nice atmosphere and the fact that the two of them sat far apart from each other.

The only regret I had was that since there were two pregnant women, we couldn’t even dream of having alcohol on the table.

“Ah… I wanted to try it… .”

And among the three of us, Sarang’s regret was particularly great.

That’s understandable, because he says he had been secretly looking forward to it after becoming an adult.

“You can drink it next time. It’s not just today.”

“… Sister, does the baby come out in a day or two? And then it’s over after giving birth? I have to breastfeed, and it’ll take a long time to wean the baby.”

“… Then just hold on for a little while.”

“Ugh… I wanted to try it too… .”

I put my share of meat on my love’s empty plate, which she feels sorry for.

“Eat some more of this.”

“… Okay, I’ll eat well.”

Although we had the same pregnancy, our experiences were slightly different.

In Sarang’s case, her appetite was revived.

Because I had such bad morning sickness, I couldn’t eat well.

“Hey, why did you steal that?”

“… I didn’t steal it. I just received it.”

“It’s okay. I’m full now.”

The meal is also coming to an end.

I just quietly watch the two bickering continue while eating.

Now that I’m a little used to it, it’s not so bad.

No, just sitting at the same table and eating like this was nice.

“Where are we going after eating? Going home?”

“Uh… Well, I didn’t really think about it.”

My answer to Sarang’s question continues.

The two of us turned our heads towards Arami.

“… I just came out to eat, or should I go somewhere else?”

“Me, Karaoke!”

Love shouts as if it had been waiting for Arami’s words.

And Arami looked at me, and I nodded at her.

“Then just go and leave.”

Sarang’s expression suddenly brightened.

And then quickly start clearing the plate.

“Eat slowly. You’ll get sick.”

“Hehehe… Okay.”

He seemed excited just by the word karaoke.

I’m not in a position to comment, but I think that’s normal for someone that age.

And, surprisingly, these outings helped me change my mood.

I used to feel a little suffocated from just staying at home every day, but eating out and going out like this helped to relieve some of that suffocation.

“Let’s just eat this and leave.”

Sweet ice cream served for dessert.

It melts and disappears in your mouth.

I wish all my future worries were like this.

*

“Ah, yes… Nothing. Uh… I’ll do that. Okay, go in.”

As soon as my mother’s phone call suddenly hung up, Arami, who was next to me, looked at me.

“…Madam?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

It was my mom’s phone call that came out of nowhere.

He must have had so many worries that he called two or three times a day.

“The old man told me to stop talking and come in… .”

Arami’s gaze turned to my stomach.

It was still awkward, but now that I was quite swollen, I could really feel that I was pregnant.

“Don’t you know we’re here?”

“You know… right? When you told us to leave back then, you said, “No way, no way,” but when we actually went out, you must have been a little surprised.”

“Ah… … .”

When I asked my father what he had been talking about for so long, there was no answer, but now I was finally able to hear a little about it.

“Hehehe, back then, the old man really tried to hit me with a golf club… but he said he was keeping a promise with you, so he picked it up and put it down a few times.”

“… So you didn’t have anything to say?”

“Uh, well… That’s right. It’s not like we’re going to do anything just because you tell us to, and you guys were really worried, like, “Will it be okay?” and “What are you going to do later?”… .”

I felt like I could hear my father’s voice from next to me.

“Haaah… But since you have so many worries, I think it’s better for us to stay apart like this… .”

That was my honest feeling.

In the same house, and the nagging of parents full of affection that will continue every day.

However, it was obvious that it would be just as tiring and difficult.

“We were going to have a meal together this weekend… What should we do?”

“What is that… .”

I have never tried to avoid my parents.

Because we just needed each other’s time.

And this was my petty thought.

I was faced with the bright expressions of my parents whom I hadn’t seen in a long time.

It was a little hard to bear the strange gaze on my stomach, but I didn’t feel bad or anything.

I was embarrassed, after all, so I was busy covering my stomach with my hands.

After that, we started eating face to face more often.

Since it was comfortable to live alone, I didn’t bother to go back home.

However, small things like going to the hospital with her mother or going to work at her father’s company because her father was pushing her around changed.

– Hey! Are you guys crazy!?

“Ah… .”

– Some people are at work right now, and you guys are out in broad daylight, what!?

“If you keep nagging, you can at least take early leave.”

Sarang, who had hung up the phone giggling, dug into my arms.

Of course, I got spanked on the butt again by Arami who really left work early.

*

“Don’t you guys regret it?”

“I won’t do it.”

“Oh my… .”

My mother’s deep sigh as she brought the side dishes filled the living room.

“… And, oh my, really… Cleaning too, huh? What smell is there in the house again… oh my… .”

The visit was a bit unexpected.

So I quickly cleaned and ventilated the house, but the house was filled with a smell that you couldn’t help but recognize if you smelled it even once.

“Son, you shouldn’t just stay at home on the weekend. Why don’t you go out with the kids? What kind of house… Oh my.”

All three of us blushed.

And my mother, who was trying to stir up every nook and cranny of the house, was barely able to stop me.

“… Go quickly.”

“Don’t forget tomorrow, okay?”

“Oh, I got it… .”

.

.

.

I don’t know if it’s appropriate to say that everything was going smoothly, but Sarangi and I were in good health.

And the same was true for the child in her stomach.

Time passes without delay.

Even though nothing happened, time continued to pass.

“Umm… What should I name it?”

“It’s too hard… .”

When I asked my parents, they came up with some incredibly old-fashioned names.

And when we were impressed by this, he handed us a business card from a naming agency.

“I just wish it was a pretty name, but they say it brings in a lot of money, and it’s a name that will keep you healthy for the rest of your life… .”

“That’s what I meant. It was kind of like that.”

Since I don’t really trust this kind of thing, I didn’t really have much faith in it.

Since it was a name that others would call me for the rest of my life, I just wanted to find a name that would look pretty to anyone.

“But, it’s too hard… It looks pretty, but it also seems weird. And later on, the names that come to mind are always pretty, so I can’t decide.”

We lay down on the bed and thought about it together for a long time.

Then, when no suitable name comes to mind, they start closing their eyes one by one.

Sleep was slowly eating away at us all, almost like a contagious disease.

.

.

.

“Is it a bit weird to check fingers and toes first when you’re just born?”

“But, they all do that?”

“Still, it’s kind of like that. They say he’s healthy, but just in case… .”

As the date approaches, our worries begin to pile up one by one.

Convincing my parents, worrying about the future, all of these were really secondary things.

I was worried that if the baby was born right away, he would have all his fingers.

I am constantly worried about what would happen if the baby is born with some kind of chronic disease.

“Oppa, you’ve been trying to lie down a lot lately, so I told you to turn it around and do it?”

“Ah… Me?”

“Yeah. Are you uncomfortable when you sleep?”

“No, there was nothing like that… .”

Although Arami is beautiful by my side, having Sarang by my side was a great strength.

Because we sympathized with each other’s struggles as mothers and sometimes shared the pain together.

Could that be why we all went into labor earlier than our due date?

Almost at the same time.

Because of that, the one who was the most absent-minded was Arum.

Contact your parents.

It was also difficult to take care of two pregnant mothers.

But I was a little worried about the attention that would be directed at us before calling 119, so I decided to just wait for my father to arrive.

But, Arami said, “What does that matter?” and ended up calling an ambulance.

And it was the same at the hospital.

Unlike the two who are legally married, I am an unmarried mother and my feelings have become complicated again in many ways.

Of course, it’s not like I didn’t know these things.

But, knowing it didn’t make much of a difference.

So, I try to calm my complicated feelings by myself, and then I hold on tightly to my mother’s hand that is guarding me.

“Sigh… Hey, are you okay?”

And then Arami came to me.

His face is still filled with worry and concern.

“Ah… Uh… No… Where’s your sister?”

“Well, Father… is watching, and I’ll come see you for a bit too… .”

The mother who was standing next to me quietly left the seat.

It didn’t have to be that way, but it was true that I felt a little more at ease when we were left alone.

“Ugh… How did it happen on the same day… .”

“That’s right. We said it would be nice if we could have the same day.”

“But I still don’t know, so I hope it’s the same day if it’s going to happen. Right?”

Arami touches her forehead, which is soaked with sweat.

It was warm, but somehow cool, which felt good.
