Healing Love

Chapter 24

"SURPRISE!!!!!" both Jin Ah and Jung Hyuk turned to the door upon hearing the high pitched voice. Hyo Jin and Jung Suk came to surprise them, and she has balloons in her hands while Jung Suk was holding a fruit basket and the baby's gift set.

"Come on in," Jung Hyuk invites them in and help Jung Suk with the stuff in his hands.

"Oh My God!!!!!!!" Hyo Jin squealed when she saw her best friend on the sofa holding her newborn in her arms. She put the balloons at the corner where the other bunch of balloons Jin Ah received are and sat right away next to Jin Ah. "Omomomo... look at this cutie pie," She said and immediately give a soft peck on the baby's forehead.

"Thanks for coming, Hyo Jin, oppa. Why didn't you tell me that you want to come?"

"Because I want to give you a surprise. So are you surprised, chingu?" she batted her eyelashes to Jin Ah a few times that makes the latter chuckles at her aegyo and nods.

"Sunshine sweetie, your Hyo Jin imo and Jung Suk samchon come. Open your eyes," Jin Ah tries to wake up the little baby of hers. As if he can understand his mother, he opens his eyes a little, and Hyo Jin squealed excitedly again.

"Yeobo, lower down your voice. You might shock the baby," Jung Suk told his wife, which earned him a glare from Hyo Jin.

"You want to hold him?" Hyo Jin nodded right away, and Jin Ah put the fragile baby in her arms. Hyo Jin held Sunshine gently, and her husband, who is standing behind her, also can't help but fall in love with the little man.

"Can't believe that you are an Eomma now Jin Ah ya. It's surreal. Seeing you pregnant and finally having the baby in your arms, I can't believe that you going to be a mother so soon," she told her best friend.

"It is still surreal for me too. I can't believe now I have another person that I need to take care of. I can't be selfish anymore. Sometimes I do feel like I am dreaming."

"He is so cute, Jin Ah. I think he looks more like Jung Hyuk oppa rather than you. Isn't he, oppa?" Hyo Jin showed the baby to her husband, and the latter nods to her. Although Down Syndrome, both of them can tell that Sunshine has Oh Soo's eyes.

"Everyone said the same. It's kind of sad that he doesn't take after me even I carried him for 9 months," Jin Ah pouted and try to sound pity in front of Hyo Jin to gain her friend's attention.

"Babies faces changes from time to time. I am sure sooner he will look more like you," Jung Hyuk said, trying to make Jin Ah feels better, and it makes her smile.

"Looking at him makes me want to have a baby of my own. But now is not the right time yet. I just got a job, and we are still in the midst to stabilise our life. We can only think of having a child once we really settled down and has a strong economy. You are considered lucky," Hyo Jin said.

The cost of child-rearing in a city is high, so most young couples do not have a child right away after marriage as the first few years are to adapt and strengthen the finances. Once things are getting better than only people start to plan for a family.

"Don't worry, Hyo Jin ssi, Jung Suk ssi. The time will come. Just enjoy your married life first," Jung Hyuk said.

The two couples were catching up on each other and talk about various stuff. Jin Ah is glad Jung Hyuk can get along with Hyo Jin and Jung Suk because they are the most important person to her apart from halmeoni. They are like siblings to her.

While they were talking, Hyo Jin noticed the way Jin Ah looks at her husband. There's something different in the way she looks at him before. Hyo Jin knows she needs to have a girl talk with Jin Ah. So, slowly she messaged her husband asking him to take Jung Hyuk somewhere as she wanted to be alone with her best friend.
