                The next few months went by so fast. Their families were happy for them, numerous visits to the hospital, and both Jongseong and Haneul were busy working extra hard in the work and learning about newborn and parenting. Haneul would suffer from morning sickness so often but she was grateful Jongseong was there supporting her through everything, even when he himself was having a lot of problems with the workload at the company.

Another visit to the hospital revealed another great news for them. They were expecting twins. The doctor confirmed they had a girl and a boy, both in perfect and healthy condition.


Jongseong and Haneul were at their home. A lot had changed in their home. Most dangerous places had baby proof. Jongseong went out from their bedroom with his phone recording the surroundings.

"Babe?" he called.

"In the nursery" Haneul replied.

He walked to the room that was previously Haneul's room. The room was now really different, the walls now painted with bright color and lesser furniture. Two baby cribs were beside the wall, a changing table beside it, a small dresser and rack across it along with a toy box. Near the huge windows was a glider and small night table with a lamp. Beside the door was a daybed. Haneul was folding the baby clothes they received as a gift while sitting on the daybed.

"Hey" she smiled. She saw he was filming. "Again with filming" she chuckled.

"Of course I want our kids to see the process when they're older" Jongseong pan the camera towards the room before stopping at Haneul who smiled brightly at the camera.

"Come on, leave it there, I'll help you with it later" he said. "Nah I can do this much don't worry" she smiled. Her baby bump protruding out of her dress. He took her hand and kissed her knuckles lightly.

"Come with me for a while" he said. "I have something to talk to you"

"Okay" she smirked. "Sound serious"

He helped her to get off the bed. They slowly walked to the library cautiously. Jongseong helped her sit on the alcove bed by the windows.

"What is it you want to talk about?" she asked.

"About your job" he took her hand. "Just know that this is because I love you and I'm concern of your and our babies' health"

"Hmm?"

"I've always admired you working multiple jobs..." "You want me to drop one?" "...Yes. I'm sorry but I'm worried of you. And I know that you're working hard"

"Hey" Haneul held his hand tighter. She searched his eyes. She smiled. "I understand what you are trying to say. But I love what I'm doing right now. Drawing, writing and modeling"

He sighed, knowing her decision.

"But" she continued, that made him look at her again. "If it bothers you so much that you had a hard time bringing up this topic to me, I'll try to consider your request. Any decision I made, I know I should prioritize our future first"

Jongseong wrapped his arms around her with a small smile. "Thank you, Haneul"

They held each other in silence while gazing outside the window.

"You know, I never imagined myself being a father" Jongseong said. "Having someone like me, I'll probably be annoyed" he chuckled.

"Why? You would make a great father" she leaned against his shoulder. "And I know you would love your children unconditionally"

"You bet! Thank you, Haneul. For making me dream"

She chuckled in reply. "Why are you so sweet, Jongseong. I'm so lucky to have you"

"Speaking of children" she began. "Do you have any names you want to give them?"

"I want our children to have our name" he answered.

"Han... sung? Han... sol? Ha...ni? Ha..yun?? Ha...jun? Jongsuk? Jong...eun? Jong...hui? Jonghyun? Seongmin? Seongho? What else?" "Hansol and Hajun sounds nice. Hmm.. Hansol"

"Alright Hansol it is. For our baby girl" "For the little guy?" "How about Taeseong? I've always liked that name" she said.

"Taesong... that's a beautiful name. I like it. Park Hansol, Park Taeseong!"

Haneul held her tummy. "Hear that? Daddy and Mommy have chosen your name. Hansol and Taeseong"

Jongseong held her tummy too. "We'll wait for you two, Hansol and Taeseong"

"I'll put this in the Baby Journal" Haneul said. "The date we gave them their names"

"Ahh you're talking about the pregnancy journal" "The doctor told me it's great to make a journal so I can monitor the twins' condition. I'm making it extra special so we can read it together in the future"

Jongseong ruffled her head with a warm smile. "Good job, Haneul"



"Hey I wonder if our twins love music" he got up and took his guitar that was leaning against the wall next to them. He sat again beside her but she stopped her before he could play.

"Let me record this. It'll be fun when we watch it later in the future" she said. He gave her his phone and she put it aside, making sure both of them could be seen.

Jongseong slowly strummed the guitar, creating sweet tunes on it with his gentle fingers. His eyes focused on his guitar that was resting on his thighs. His lips curled upward. His gaze wandered down to her tummy. The thought of becoming a father made his heart feel like it burst. He knew that Haneul wanted a family just as much as he did. When he thought about how wonderful it would feel to have a child running around the house, playing games with his brother or sister, holding them tightly to comfort them when they cry. When he thought of how cute the baby would look and how adorable they would be. He looked back to Haneul. She was also smiling at him. 'Please let my wife have everything she ever wanted in life' Jongseong thought to himself.



Jongseong and Haneul continued to stare out the windows at the night sky. She rested her head on his shoulder. Jongseong caressed her head. "Something's bothering you, babe?"

"It's amazing you always know when I have a concern" she chuckled. She sighed and took his hand, entwining their fingers. "As much as I'm excited to have our kids, I'm scared. I'm scared to deliver the babies. You heard the doctor said delivering twins is risky. What if something happens to our twins? I don't want that to happen" tears fell down her cheeks.

"Hey, hey" he held her shoulder to look into her eyes.

"Or what if something happens to me?" she went on. "Can you take care of our children alone?"

"Haneul, why are you saying that?" he pulled her into an embrace. He caressed her head. "Don't think of something like that. You know I need you with me! You know our kids need you!"

She didn't reply but he did feel she nodded in his arms. But deep down Jongseong knew he needed to consider that future too, after both of them listened to the explanation during their last visit to the hospital. He sighed. "No matter what happen, I'll do my best to be the best dad for our children"
