The following chapters contain mingi's pregnancy and giving birth
.
Yunho had promised himself to bring happiness to Mingi as soon as he felt better. For a clearer interpretation, it's about how Yunho enthusiastically persuaded-more accurately, pulled-Mingi onto the bed to have intercourse. He said he missed it. It seemed reasonable considering he had not satisfied his biological needs since his pregnancy entered its final months. It's been about five months, it seemed. Moreover, he was sure the stitches from Kyunghwa's birth were completely dry. Plus, his postpartum bleeding had ended a few days ago. There was no other reason to delay enjoying the night with Mingi.
As usual, both Yunho and Mingi were happy with two positions, taking turns. The difference was, if before, Mingi was using an intrauterine device, now it was the opposite. Yunho was using an IUD for the first time, and Mingi removed the one he had previously used.
Yunho chuckled lightly at Mingi, who was half asleep. Although he said he wanted to shower together.
"Are you sure it's okay to sleep with sticky bodies like this?"
Mingi slowly opened his eyes, just to see Yunho smiling teasingly, before returning to the darkness behind his eyelids. "Ah, it feels like the first time again. Later. It still hurts."
Yunho was the same, to be honest. Allowing himself to remain unfulfilled for months by Mingi made it difficult for him to get used to it again. However, he did want to shower with Mingi. Just a shower. He was also tired to continue the other part of their recent activity in a new place.
Luckily, Kyunghwa slept almost in the corner of the room. Not leaving her alone there. It just wasn't funny if their solemn activities had to stop with the baby's cries, disturbed by how loudly his parents were groaning.
About their baby, Yunho chose to let Mingi take care of her while he was working. His parental leave had ended about two weeks ago, which was a relief. At least Yunho could go out comfortably without holding his waist, supporting his body that felt like it was about to collapse if he walked or stood upright. Although, on the other hand, Yunho also felt sad for losing a lot of time with his daughter. He wanted to continue taking care of Kyunghwa until she grew older. But, what else could he do? He needed income.
Mingi now chose to take care of Kyunghwa at home, getting closer to the baby who seemed to already recognize his voice and face very well, enjoying the occasional little smile that came.
Their parents had offered help in taking care of Kyunghwa. However, Mingi and Yunho chose to refuse. They wanted to get more used to it, in case there would be another baby in this house in the future. Plus, it wasn't difficult. Kyunghwa, even though she was starting to get really fussy now, easily cried over just one thing she didn't like, Yunho and Mingi could handle it well. If she wasn't hungry, she might be sleepy. Or when before, when Kyunghwa suddenly had a fever. Perhaps that was the only slightly troublesome thing, considering they both had no experience or knowledge of taking care of a two-month-old baby who was sick.
Mingi showed symptoms of his pregnancy one week earlier than Yunho. Not only they, but even their parents, and even the doctor who examined Mingi were delighted with the news. Maybe they were also amazed, considering how quickly this couple had a new offspring.
"Actually, I'm a little scared."
"After seeing me undergo c-section, huh?" Yunho guessed at the frown on Mingi's forehead, after previously, this sweet face in front of him was filled with happy smiles, receiving news that he was pregnant with their second child in their family.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure your pregnancy goes well. You don't need to worry."
Yunho was relieved with Kyunghwa's progress. At four months old, she stopped crying so often. Only occasionally, when hungry, or accidentally getting something bad from anyone. Unfortunately, now another baby was also making him dizzy. Mingi became more often whiny than before. Not only fussy, he became more sensitive and easily felt inferior. One small mistake he made, afterwards Yunho had to reassure him by convincing Mingi that Yunho himself didn't mind anything he did. After all, Yunho had never blamed Mingi for anything.
"It's my fault. I didn't carefully measure the temperature. Kyunghwa cried because her milk was too hot." Mingi squatted, starting to cry while covering his face, regretting his actions. Even though it was just accidentally making the formula milk too hot. Moreover, it wasn't too obvious. Only at the beginning of sucking, Kyunghwa cried. After that, she was fine. Mingi was overreacting.
Yunho sighed softly, before stroking Mingi's back, reassuring him that it wasn't a big deal. "See? Kyunghwa is fine. She's not crying anymore. Come on, stop crying. Kyunghwa will cry too if she sees you sad like this."
Yunho embraced Mingi's shoulders, leading him to walk towards Kyunghwa, starting to play with her. Their baby had grown very well. Kyunghwa had no trouble at all in her development. She was very agile, easily laughed, especially when Yunho joked with her. Just throwing cute facial expressions, tickling her belly, or just singing a song. Mingi was the same, because he thought their roles were equal.
At first, Mingi thought, when he saw Yunho vomiting before, it wouldn't bother him too much. Turns out it did. He really didn't like the sensation in his stomach, especially in the morning. It was even more difficult when his morning sickness came after Yunho went to work. Not being spoiled, but Mingi could hardly handle it alone. Usually he would feel comfortable if Yunho was hugging him. Not now. He had to wait for Yunho to come home to get that warmth.
That day was the same. Mingi was folding clothes that had just been ironed when his nausea returned. Although he was sure he had avoided sharp smells and other things that made him uncomfortable. It turned out it didn't really apply. Kyunghwa cried loudly when Mingi made an unintentional sound with his vomiting and coughing. Forgetting his nausea, Mingi immediately wiped his lips roughly, before running to the kitchen, making formula milk for his daughter.
"What's wrong, Sweetheart? Did Daddy disturb your sleep? Sorry."
Mingi held Kyunghwa while giving her milk, making her calm down again by occasionally kissing her forehead. For a moment, Mingi thought he had never felt nauseous before, when he realized the distinctive baby smell from his daughter's body made him feel calmer. Unfortunately, he couldn't enjoy his comfort for long. Many clothes were waiting to be folded, and several dishes were still not washed. Even though Yunho had said he didn't need to do all of that, Mingi didn't listen. It didn't seem wise either to leave Yunho, who had been working all day, to come home with many other tasks waiting. Besides, Mingi could do it. Just a little disturbance, it wouldn't kill him.
As if finding a new place, Mingi would immediately run to Kyunghwa, hug her, and smell her if his nausea came without Yunho beside him. Even though it ended up being rewarded with pats from her daughter, maybe surprised by Mingi suddenly hugging her.
