Thirty-One Days

Bonus Chapter: Bright Family

Son Yejin's official announcement of her pregnancy came as an extremely beautiful surprise to the world. And fandoms from all over can't help but speculate the stories that come behind and around her most-awaited announcement. It goes without saying that every detail of every her Instagram post never goes unnoticed by their "BinJin" fans, and Yejin is very much aware of their bionic eyes.

"Jagiya, daebak!!!"

"Waeyo? What is it?"

Son Yejin entered Hyun Bin's home office in their Guri penthouse with pleasant disbelief written all over her face. With her mobile phone in one hand and a piece of red apple in the other, she walks towards their two-seater couch while munching and talking at the same time.

"Amazing, jagiya! Our fans figured out the meaning behind the picture I used along with our announcement post in just minutes! I am beyond amazed. They knew it was Veronicastrum japonicum, and they even figured out what it symbolizes! Even the sunrise and what it meant for us!"

Yejin blurted out all words in a single breath.

"Hahaha! Breathe, jagi, breathe!"

Hyun Bin, the ever-protective and caring husband, stood and welcomed his wife whose tummy is starting to show. He caged her tiny face with his warm palms and gently kissed her forehead - her favorite. He then bent to face Yejin's tummy and planted soft kisses until it tickled her and made her laugh.

"How's my baby doing in there? I see Mommy is eating apples again. Are you also hungry? Hmmm?"

"Yaaah!! How come I only get one kiss while our baby gets showered with many kisses! Not fair, Bin-sshi."

Hyun Bin just chuckled at his wife's cute antics. How can he ever resist her aegyo and charm? Especially now that she is carrying with her the greatest dream he has ever had. To have a child. With her, the woman he loves and respects will all his heart. Their own flesh and blood made out of pure love.

He then kissed her forehead once more, longer this time, then her nose, her left and right cheeks, and lastly her lips - his favorite. He continues to baby her with a hug and then gesturing her to sit on his lap as they sit on their couch.

Hyun Bin needs to take time off from paper work any way, and more importantly, his wife and child take precedence than anything or anyone in this world. That he is absolutely sure of. He knew from the start that he is going to be a family man.

He runs his palms up and down her exposed arms, then touches her back to check if she is sweating or not. It is summer in Korea now and so Yejin is wearing a loose, white sleeveless dress. Pregnant women feel somewhat warmer than others 'coz they really do have a "bun in the oven."

"You wonder why they figured out quickly, jagi? Simple. They are part of our bright family! Veronicastrum japonicum means 'bright family' like you told me, right?"

"Hahah! Hyun Bin-sshi, we need to work on your humor. You're gonna be a father soon! How are you gonna teach him to crack jokes when he grows up!"

Yes, it is him.

They are having a boy for a first born and both are ecstatic upon finding out. Between the two, it was Hyun Bin who cried first at the ultrasound room after knowing they are having a little boy of his dreams. Well, they cry every prenatal visit when they hear their baby's heartbeat. To them, it is music to their ears. The most reassuring sound they have ever heard.

"But isn't it true? Our fans are so bright they even guessed it correctly that I took the photo using my camera, and that the we took the photo from our own flower garden!"

"Well you are right. They are bright and we consider them part of our family."

So there! Just a short and surprise bonus haha. Forever thankful to Son Yejin for always making us part of their lives and being the first to let us know about the new life that has come to them because she loves us her fans. Meanwhile, as we wait, let us continue to pray and send good thoughts for the Kims and the safe arrival of Kim Golf or Kim Pilates.

Oh one more thing, since no pregnancy timeline has been given, the details I had mentioned here are purely figments of my imagination. Nobody knows how far along they are nor the gender. Don't bash me please. Peace. 🙏
