After many hours of hiking in the rainforest we are close to our drop off point. We stop to rest, drink water, and eat a quick meal of nuts and fruit. The others and I want to push on nonstop as our guides remind us that the rainforest is beautiful, dangerous, and unforgiving. We must give our bodies the proper amount of rest and nourishment.
"Hurry and rush do not exist here," Jonathon says. "This is the home of our African Beetle. This moment will never come again. Do not be completely absorbed by your outer modern life. It will be fine."

Johnathon is correct, as I take a moment and ponder what he is saying. I take in everything that is occurring to be present to this experience in this beautiful and timeless place
As I see our drop off point come into view a few hours later my thoughts turn to Kookie and my babies. It has been nearly 15 hours since I missed my call with him. He must be going crazy with worry. I see the same concern in the eyes of my friends. A harmless deception. Is there such a thing? Why did I not tell him the truth? If I had told him the truth and this happened, he would have known that we have excellent guides, extra food, medicines, and everything we need for safety. I suspect that I will find this memory of this beautiful river cruise bittersweet. That is unfortunate and all to my doing.
This trip was the hardest, most challenging and yet the most wonderful thing that I have ever done. But now my harmless deception has put a blemish on it. I have caused my husband unnecessary worry and pain. I know he must be distressed. If he is distressing, the babies will be affected. Umi is very intuitive and picks up our feelings quickly. If she is upset, Lisa and Kookie will be upset. My arms ache to hold my husband and my children.
I exhale as I climb into the jeep for the hour ride back to our hotel. I cannot use my phone until I place it on the charger in my hotel room in an hour. Not only have we misrepresented the truth, but we have also missed our flight. Sadly, I may for the first time ever break a promise to Kookie and not be home for the twin's birthday in three days.
Jong-woo POV
I can tell it will be a long night. I cannot imagine what Jungkook, and the others must be going through. He and Tae are the closest thing to a healthy loving relationship that I have seen. Two people in love with two adorable little babies. I chuckle to myself as I'm reminded of Tae's joke about wanting one baby but instead, they were gifted with the buy one get one free program. What great dads they are. How blessed those little ones are to grow up with two loving parents. Tae left me in charge, and I know that meant to take care of his family. I am eager to give Jungkook happy news, but in these situations, it is not guaranteed. I will be honest as soon as I know more.
I call my two night-duty guards and tell them to expect late night guests. However, everyone has to be on the Kim-Jeon's premium guest list which is only for their closest friends. I then call-in two additional security guards. It's going to be busy here for several days and I cannot afford to take things for granted.
