Chapter Text
"Gang Tae."
"Mmm?"
"They're gorgeous."
"I know. They're beautiful. Like you." A soft kiss landed on Moon Young's forehead.
"They're so small, so fragile, Gang Tae."
"They'll be fine. Doctor said they just need to be here for a few days."
"If only I were strong enough to hold them for a little longer..."
"Sssh. You did an amazing job giving birth to our boys. I promise, we'll go home together soon."
But Moon Young can't hold her tears anymore, seeing the babies she fought so hard to have were now fighting for their life in front of her eyes. How could she be so weak and leave them in this battle alone?
Gang Tae let her cry in his arms, knowing she needed to let out everything in her chest.
"Please, I don't want you to blame yourself. You're such a great mother. I'm so proud of you, Moon Young."
"Will they be alright Gang Tae?"
"They will. I talked to the doctor and he said they’ll be fine. Nothing bad will happen to our babies."
He smooched the top of her head, gently rubbed her shoulder with his big palm.
"Everyone said they look a lot like me," he deliberately changed the subject to divert her attention, "what do you think?"
"Mmm. They look a lot like you. They are you, Gang Tae."
"Jae Su said they look so much like me, he doubted you gave birth to them.”
“Did he want to die? Of course they’re my sons. They’re my precious sons.”
He touched her affectionately, his arms hugged her tighter.
"Gang Tae."
"Mmm?"
"What if they don’t like me as their mother? What if they hate me when they grow up?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
"How can you be so sure?"
He deeply looked into her eyes, soothing her worried soul.
"Because I will tell them every day how much their mother loves them. How hard their mother fought to keep them in her belly. How their mother cried at night because she was in pain. How their mother stayed strong, every single day, to give them complete limbs."
She looked up and was welcomed by her husband's bright smile.
“You did an amazing job.”
“You know I can’t do it without you.”
She forced a subtle smile on her face.
"Have you decided on their names?"
"Mmm hmm. I like the names you picked out."
"You do?"
"Mmm. I love them. It's perfect."
"So... these babies, they have names now?"
"Mmm hmm. Moon Young Dae. Moon Young Jae."
She circled her arms around her husband's hips, leaned her head on his warm chest.
"Welcome to the world my little babies. Mommy and daddy love you so much."
