"Hey, here's your morning coffee." Yunjin slid the cup towards Minji cheerfully.

Minji didn't avert her eyes from her phone. She was replying to her wife's message to do some errands before she came home.

"What are you doing?" Yunjin tried to sneak a peek.

"I'm married, Dr. Huh Yunjin." Minji locked her phone and sighed.

"I'm sorry I can't accept this." She mentioned the coffee.

"I know you're married." Yunjin smiled uncomfortably. She really didn't need that reminder.

"It's just a coffee. You look exhausted so I thought you might need one."

"I can get it myself." She stated firmly.

"I appreciate your consideration but I can't accept this." She handed the cup back.

"Thank you."

"...."

"Look Dr. Huh, you're my wife's friend and I respect you for that. I don't know what you're trying to do but I think you've passed the boundaries." After months of ignoring her resident action, she couldn't take it any longer. She decided to come clean and end it right here and then.

"..."

"She says nothing but good things about you. Don't disappoint her, Dr. Huh. Good day."

"Wait!" Yunjin shouted.

"Did you tell her?"

"I hope I don't have to."

Minji walked away from the nurse station leaving Yunjin broken-hearted.

*******

Entering the six months, the triplets' frequency of crying increased drastically. Their teeth were starting to erupt, causing unrecognizable pain for them. Special case for Venous, she lost her big appetite making her parents worried. She was the tiniest among all. Obviously, she needed the nutrient a lot more than Aorta and Artery. There was no way but to push her a little bit harder on feeding matter.

Minji and Hanni took their children to their paediatrician for follow-up and vaccination on schedule. According to their Doctor their growth and development charts were still in the perfect line. Both dada and mommy were relieved at the statement.

Mr. Lee gave Hanni more time to consider her options. She was a good lawyer after all. Besides, she already had many loyal clients who didn't want anyone but her to handle their cases. He clearly didn't want to lose his precious senior partner.

The old man even approached Minji to persuade Hanni to stay at his firm.

"Who's calling you?" Haerin asked when they were having lunch. Minji had been ignoring that certain call since the morning report.

"Hanni's boss."

"Why would he call you?"

"Hanni wants to quit but he won't let her go that easy." Minji slurped her soup.

"It's not that she doesn't like it there or something. She just feels bad for leaving so long and till now, she's still reluctant to leave the triplets."

"You should take it though. It's not polite to keep him waiting like that."

Minji knew for sure what the phone call was about. She listened to every word he said, holding her groan with much effort. She liked Mr. Lee. He was actually a nice boss but he started to get on her nerves.

"Alright, Mr. Lee. Thank you."

"So?"

"Haerin, even though I have a say on this matter, it still will be Hanni's decision at last. She always dismisses it when I bring up work."
