Mrs.kim, mr.lee and mrs.lee were sitting in the living room.The air in the living room was filled with an uncomfortable silence as Mrs. Kim, Mr. Lee, and Mrs. Lee settled into their respective chairs.

Mr.lee: Yuna ...you know right ..what difficulties you have to face while upbringing taehyung?...

Mrs kim nodded

Mrs.lee: I know this is wrong but you should opt for another child now ..you know

Mrs.kim looked at mother .

Mrs.kim: but mom  my taetae is only 6 months....you know right how much assistance and support he requires.

Mrs.lee : Yes Yuna , I understand the level of assistance and support he needs but you know he will face various difficulties while growing up .... every time every moment you can't be with him right??... He needs someone of his own age to support him and be his companion during his teenage and adolescence.

Mrs.kim: but ma I will always be there for him...i am his mother..I will support him.

Mrs.lee: yes baby I know you are there for him but don't you think Rowoon needs a proper hier..you really think taetae can support him after growing up... You shouldn't give that much pressure to him. You know his condition....and what about school bullying and all..you know right now a days how teenagers are ......

Mrs.kim silently looked down

Mrs Lee: baby look... You know right your father is always right...right

Mrs.kim nooded.

Lee's children had sheer belief in their  father's wisdom and correctness.

Mrs.lee: so.. think about it ... don't discuss with your husband...it's your duty to provide and think about his needs ... He is a father ..taetae is always be a matter of sentiment for him..but he need someone who can be his backbone in senescence.

Mrs.kim: really ..what will happen to my taetae after he grows up ..my little child..( thought mrs.kim)......my baby can't be a burden to anyone .....he is pure ....

Mrs.kim silently cries having such thoughts .
A cry from her little one shattered the string of her thoughts. she hurriedly went to to nursery..

Mrs.kim: why baby ...why crycry !!

Saying that she started to  breastfeed Carrying with gentle
support, ensuring his safety and comfort.
Suddenly the baby's doe-like eyes opened, and as he gazed at his mother, a boxy smile formed on his face before he let go of his feed.
.
.
Mrs.kim: my baby !( Silently cries)..
I will always protect you...I will give you a sibling...he will always be your backbone...you will always be secure and safe ....( She said with determination ).
