"Unnie!" Hanni gasped.

"Hm?" Her fingers kept on dancing on the keyboard.

"Yeji Unnie!" She shouted.

"What is it, Han–" The pale look upon her friend's face made the irritation go away.

"Han, are you okay?" She stood up from the floor, walking rapidly towards the latter.

"Han?"

"I think... no, it is. Unnie, my water breaks." Hanni quietly said.

"Holy shi—"

"No swearing in front of my babies!"

"Oh dear what do we do?!" She panicked.

"Call Minjeong. Don't you dare go panic on me, Unnie. If anything, only me have the right to be panic right now. Call Minjeong right now," she ordered.

"My phone is in my purse."

Hanni sat straightly to prevent the water flew more.

"Shouldn't we call Minji first?" Yeji went through Hanni's contact list looking for Minjeong's number.

"No, don't call her. Call Minjeong!"

"Okay, okay. Sheesh. Kim Minjeong where the hell are you," she mumbled while scrolling.

"Got it. I got it." Yeji pressed the call button. It rang a few times before the ob-gyn doctor picked up.

"Hello?"

"Minjeong. It's Yeji. Hear me out, don't interrupt me. Hanni's water breaks just now. I don't know how, she didn't do anything crazy. What do we do? I'm going crazy!"

"How much?"

"Han, how much?"

"I don't know! Not that much... maybe?"

"Not much? She's not sure either."

"Where are you guys now?"

"At Han's house. Minjeong, what do we do?! You ask too much!"

"Okay, just stay calm. Tell Hanni to relax, breathe normally, I'll send an ambulance to pick her up, okay?"

"Okay, okay, we'll try to relax. By—"

"Tell her don't tell Minji!" Hanni suddenly shouted.

"Wh-"

"Yeji-"

"Minjeong don't tell Minji!"

The woman chuckled. "Okay, I wont."

The line went dead and none of the girls knew what to do but wait for the help to come.

"Do you feel any strong contraction?" Minjeong performed the examination.

"Not really, four times during these past half hour and not that strong. I can bear."

"Is there any bloody mucous?"

"No, it's just clean water."

"Alright, I need to see it using the speculum, okay?"

"Yeah, sure go ahead."

Minjeong did the examination as gently as she could. She felt guilty for keeping Minji in the dark in this situation. Although she understood why Hanni didn't want Minji to know yet.

She pulled out the litmus paper as it turned to blue. "Well, your water does break." Minjeong sighed subtly.

"I want to keep you here for... say, two days at least. You need total bed rest and I'll do everything I can to keep your baby inside for few more weeks. Also, I have to give you a shot of steroid once a day for two days. It will help your babies's lungs to develop nicely. Okay?"
