- It'll be a little uncomfortable for a while. The feeling will be gone when you're done with this.

Byulyi closed her eyes, taking deep breaths as Wheein slowly inserted the transducer into the vagina. It indeed made her eyebrows furrow as it had been a long time since the last time something was put inside her, as well as the fact that she was having a full bladder. At least it wasn't painful.

- Unnie, is Yongsun unnie not coming today? - The technician asked while doing her work on the machine.

She slightly nodded.

- She was supposed to tag along but an emergency came up so she had to come to her hospital first.

- Oh, is she a doctor?

- Yes, she is working at Asan Medical Center. - Byulyi couldn't hide her pride. Asan was among the hospitals with highest qualities throughout the country, it definitely wasn't easy to be recruited there.

- Yongsun... Asan... - Wheein mumbled then widened her eyes. - Is she that resident in Asan Psychiatry Department, THE Kim Yongsun?

- How do you know?

- You have no idea how literally everyone here at Yonsei knows about her, even though their professional might not even relate to psychology. - The cute technician joyfully exclaimed. - She's the goddess in all residents' eyes. It's said that she is really funny and kind, which I can somehow conclude from a few interactions.

"There is truly no one who can resist her." Byulyi thought about her best friend's words some weeks ago. - Can you believe that she is still single?

- Yes, I can. - The other girl laughed making her quite surprised. She thought Wheein would be taken aback to know such a perfect person like Yongsun still hadn't had a lover yet. - She wants only you in her life.

- R... really?

- Absolutely. Her gaze alone can break a ton of hearts because it's fixed on only you. You too, your eyes literally sparkle whenever she is included in every conversation.

The lawyer blushed. Were they that obvious?

- Now, enough blabbering. You are now twenty weeks far, which is more than half the way. The baby is having the size of a banana, its nervous system and limbs are developing rapidly. You can actually start to feel its movement.

She nodded, smiling as she remembered the moment of realization about how her baby was kicking.

- In addition, its brain is specializing different areas for the senses, which means they can hear your heartbeat and voice. You can let the baby listen to music and talk to them, they may even respond to your voice. - This explained the incident when she spoke to the little soul inside her for the first time.

- We can also identify the fetus' genitalia at this point, but I can't reveal it to you due to our government's policy of forbidding parents to choose their child's gender. - Wheein chuckled. - It doesn't seem to want me to know anyway. It's curling up and its hands are positioned right between its legs, insisting on hiding whatever treasure it has.

- Haha. I don't want to know either. - She happily replied. - It's still be my child, I'm content as long as it's healthy and has a good life.

- Almost forgot, do you want to hear the fetal heartbeat?

- We can? - Byulyi got excited.

- Of course, just let me change the device.

After a while, Wheein started moving the transducer outside to locate the baby. Byulyi subconsciously held her breath.
