TIME SKIP: THREE MONTHS

October 31, 2020

Bella was entering her 34th week of pregnancy.

A week ago, she got one of the biggest surprises of her life. She was in bed, asleep, when her phone started to ring. It was an unknown number so Bella decided to ignore it. After two more calls, she relented and groggily picked up the call.

“Bella? Annyeong. It’s Tita Diana.” It was Jake’s mom! The lady had always been fascinated by the People’s princess and had chosen to adopt her name.

“Omo, Tita Diana? Annyeonghaseyo!” Bella slowly sat up in bed. “Wait! You have a Philippine number?”

Jake’s mom laughed. “Yes, my dear. Your Uncle Joseph and I are here!” Joseph was the English name Jake’s dad took.

“Oh wow! You’re both here?! But what about Jake and Junghyun-oppa?”, Bella asked about the couple’s two children.

Tita Diana laughed again. “Geuk usually lives in the dorm. He won’t miss us! Hyun can take care of himself for a while. But you, my dear, you are eight months pregnant with twins! My twin grandchildren, mind you.”

Bella felt tears escape her eyes. These past few months, Tita Diana had been such a blessing to her. Jake had shared to his mother how Bella was basically all alone in her life without anyone to lean on for moral support. And the idol’s parents had thankfully taken a liking to their youngest son’s girlfriend.

“Are you crying, little one? No no no. This should be a happy first meeting. Actually, your Uncle Joseph and I are outside your house. Let us in?”

“I’m just happy, Tita Diana. Yes, let me hang up. I’m coming down.” Bella walked slowly down the stairs, making sure to hold tightly to the banister.

She wore her slippers and walked slowly to her gate. Outside, she saw a black BMW x5 M50i with heavily tinted windows.

The front car doors opened and a middle-aged Korean couple stepped out. The woman had a huge smile on her face and she rushed to Bella’s side.

“My dear little one! I’m so happy to see you.” Tita Diana breathed, hugging her.

Bella hugged her back. “I am so glad to have you here, Tita.”

Uncle Joseph came forward to hug Bella as well. “Bella, we finally meet.”

Bella smiled and bowed to Jake’s parents not without difficulty considering her huge belly. “Thank you for being here. Shall we head inside?”

Tita Diana hooked her arm with Bella’s. “Be careful, little one.”

Jake’s parents followed Bella into the house and sat on the couch.

“Can I get you anything to drink or eat?” Bella offered.
