*Another Week Later*
San and I had the best time in New York City, but it is time to go back to South Korea. It is time to get back to our regular jobs. As of lately, since San is in his 30's now, he has debated whether or not he should retire from the industry to live out his life with me. I told him, he should be like Super Junior where they kept going well into their 30's. Maybe, when he gets to his 40's, he should consider retiring then. For now, I feel like San can still make people happy by being an idol.
We return to Seoul and go back to our respective companies. San reunites with his members after only being gone for a week. I reunite with my cast mates after being gone for 2 weeks. In the meanwhile, I've been in America, and I've put on a few pounds, but I made sure to watch it so I don't need to work too much harder on getting back down. My cast mates missed me a lot while I was gone. After my first success in my drama, Love in Focus, I've gotten much more roles in dramas in the past 7 to 8 years. I'm now a household name in Korea, and now I'm used to being recognized in the streets.
San and I get straight back to work, to those endless 12-hour days on set or practicing in the practice room. I've gone all over the world, when filming my various dramas. I got the privilege of filming in Canada one time, and it was so much fun. We went during the fall, and it was super pretty there. I've also got the chance to star in a Filipino drama. I got away with only speaking a little bit of Tagalog, and mostly spoke English. My costars were; MayMay Entrata, Sue Ramirez, Kira Ballinger, Edward Barber, Marco Gallo, and Donny Pangilinan. These were some of the biggest teen actors at their time, and now, they're huge names. I had the honor of acting alongside some of these incredible and talented people. Being half Filipino and half European sure has its perks in the Philippines. Most agencies will seek out these "visual halves" just for a certain role. It's weird, but sometimes true.
Along with going to Canada and the Philippines, I also got to go to the UK, Germany, and Spain, among many other European countries to film K-dramas. It is so much fun, traveling all around the world for my job, but it can also get tiring. That is why I'm glad to have found Mrs. Chwe as my therapist. Anyways, getting back on the set, it's like I'm coming back to my home. I'm meant to be on camera, after all. I love it so much. I thought I wouldn't like it at first, but I soon got used to, and now it's fun. San is also super proud of me. I'm glad he's still going strong with ATEEZ as well.

A year or so passes by. I find out that I am pregnant with our first child. San is happier than ever to find out that we are pregnant. I feel like 28 is a good age to have a first baby, then if things work out, we can have our second one in a year or two. Once I get to my late 30's, early 40's, that's when it'd get hard to have a baby. So, that is why San and I are trying to be quick. With the announcement of our first baby to the world, our fans are so full of joy. They can't wait to see what our baby will look like. Many joked that he or she is going to resemble Vernon or Nancy. Or even AleXa. Those are some of the funniest jokes I've heard our fans say to us. Making those comparisons to popular half Koreans, ah it's comical. Some even said that our baby will be very handsome or pretty because it is the child of a visual, San, and an already beautiful mother, me. We really appreciate these compliments.
About 3 or 4 months into the pregnancy, we find out the gender of our baby, a boy. Once finding out the gender of our baby, we started thinking of names to give to him. I thought it would be nice if we named him after where we got married, Kai. San loves that idea, but we take note of many more names, both in English and Korean. We know that we want to give him an English name and a Korean name. This is so if we go back to America, he can go by his English name. If we stay in Korea, then he can just go by his Korean name. San wanted to continue his family's tradition of naming his baby after something in nature. San means mountain and Haneul means sky. San wrote down a bunch of Korean words for things in nature:
•Nature - 자연(Jayeon)
•Lake - 호수(Ho-su)
•Hill - 언덕(Eun-deok)
•Desert - 가막(Sa-mak)
•Bay - 해변(Hae-byeon)
•Farm - 호재(Hwa-Jae)
•Ocean - 대양(Dae-yang)
•Wave - 파도(Pa-do)
Out of all the names, I really liked Ja-yeon, Ho-su, Hwa-jae, and Dae-yang. We would then need to narrow down the list further to two possible names. Finally, we narrowed it down to Ja-yeon and Dae-yang. Now that San and I have chosen two possible Korean names, we now need to choose an English name.
For English names, I had so many ideas, some of them included:
•Kai
•Alex
•Peter
•Axel
•Edward
•Matthew
•Elijah
Out of all the names, San and I liked; Kai, Elijah, Alex, and Edward. Now, we narrowed it down to Kai and Elijah. We decided this, we'll give him the English name: Kai Elijah Choi. It gives him both the names we love, and it really works.
Now, with his names chosen, we just need to wait until he's born to see which Korean name we'd like to give him. I'm sure when we see him, it will hit us. For now, San will continue to take care of me while I am pregnant.
