"Yes." I replied as I burst out crying again.

"When did this happen?" asked eomma.

"Seollal. That was the last time it happened." I replied.

"Does he know?" asked eomeoni. I just shook my head.

"I just found out too. I can't tell him. I know we're not ready for this. And he's already got a lot on his plate. I don't want to add more burden to his already heavy load. I don't want him to get into trouble. I'm really sorry."

"What did the doctor tell you about the baby?" asked eomeoni.

"She said that it's been around 4 months now. And that their heartbeats are strong."

"That's great! I'm glad that you and the babies are okay." She said as she sighed in relief. Then my head snapped up and looked at her and eomma. They were both crying but they were also smiling.

"You're not mad at me?" I asked.

"Baby, you know that I can't get mad at you. You know I hate seeing you in this state." Said eomma.

"Dear, I'm relieved that you told us the truth as soon as you found out. We won't let anything hurt you. But you really should let Chan know." Said eomeoni.

"I will. But I don't think that right now is the right time. A lot is happening at work." And then a realization hit me again. And I started sobbing again.

"What's wrong again baby?" asked eomma. So, I told them what was happening to me at work.

"I don't know what exactly to tell you dear. But I think that you should do what you think is best for you. Do what will make you happy." Said eomeoni.

"Don't worry baby. We'll always be here for you." said eomma.

"Thank you." I said and then I smiled weakly at them.

"Dear, I'll tell your abeonim about this okay? I promise we won't tell Chan." Said eomeoni.

"Thank you." I said again and then she hung up.

"We should tell your appa and oppa about this baby. And we have to explain this to the kids." Said eomma.

"Okay. I'm ready eomma."

"How about we go and have a meal at home with everyone?" she asked and I just nodded.

We gathered everything and then we went to their unit. When we got there, the kids immediately came running to me. It looked like they've been crying too. They clung onto me as we made our way to the living room. There, I saw appa, oppa, and to my surprise, Soo Bin. They were all sitting down, looking worried.

"What's going on? What happened to you Se Rin?" asked oppa worriedly. I didn't want to talk. I was too tired. So, I just handed them everything I showed eomma earlier.

"Is it Chan's?" asked appa.

"Yes." I replied. I couldn't look at them and kept my head down. And then I suddenly felt myself being lifted up.

"Oh my gosh Se Rin! Congratulations!" said Soo Bin excitedly. And then he hugged me when he put me down.

"Does Chan know?" asked appa.

"I don't think that now is the best time for him to know. A lot of things are going on at work. But I've already talked to eomeoni about this. She's happy."

"Hey, don't look so down baby. Everything will be fine. We'll always be here for you baby." Said appa and then he hugged me tightly.

"What are you going to do about work?" asked oppa.

"I'm still discussing things with my bosses. I think that I should tell them tomorrow and settle things quickly."

"Would you like me to come with you?"

"Will you drive me there?"

"Of course!"

"Thank you oppa." I said and then oppa gave me a very tight hug.

"Aigoo. My baby sister is going to have her first children." He said as he comforted me.

"Is eomma okay?" asked the twins. And then I crouched down.

"My babies, eomma can't carry you and play too much with you for a while."

"Why?"

"Well, right now eomma has babies her belly."

"We're going to be a big brother and big sister?!" they asked.

"Yes." I said and I couldn't help but smile at their excited reaction.

"Yay!" they shouted.

"My babies, you have to promise eomma something."

"What is it?" they asked.

"You can't tell appa about this, okay? It'll be a surprise. So, promise that you won't tell appa?"

"Yes!" they said and then they started running around again.

"Let's have something to eat now. It's almost dinner time anyway." Called eomma.

"Please excuse me. I need to go home." said Soo Bin.

"Oh, okay." Said oppa.

"Thank you for coming to see if I was fine." I said and then he gave me a very tight hug before heading out. That night, we all ate dinner together. I felt relieved that I confessed everything to my family.
