Kyunghwa seemed the happiest to see all the new clothes at her house. 

She pulled out all the shopping from Yunho's bag, trying them on, though she ended up frustrated because she couldn't wear any of them.

Yunho and Mingi had just learned their baby's gender from a test a few hours ago. It's a boy. Mingi was thrilled because it was what he hoped for, though he wouldn't have minded if the baby had been a girl again. After leaving the doctor's office, they took the opportunity to stop by a shopping center to buy various baby essentials, clothes for themselves, and some groceries.

At first, everything was fine when Yunho asked Mingi to try on the clothes he had bought earlier. They were beautiful, honestly. But for some reason, what he heard was an unpleasant scream. Leaving Kyunghwa engrossed in her brother's clothes, Yunho went to Mingi, finding him standing in front of the mirror in their room with his face covered.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Yunho feared there might be a problem.

"Yunho, why do I look so ugly?"

It was a confusing question. I mean, why was Mingi suddenly asking this when Yunho often praised his beauty without realizing it?

"What kind of question is that? You're beautiful, Princess. Very beautiful."

Yunho was about to pull Mingi's hands away from his face when he received a harsh slap instead.

"Look!" Mingi showed his face. "You're beautiful and cute even when pregnant. Why do I look so ugly? Dirty, with pimples. Why?" He started crying again.

That was the issue. Yunho couldn't understand. Mingi did have acne, but it certainly didn't make him look dirty or ugly. It didn't affect how beautiful his face was. He couldn't understand where Mingi got the idea that he was ugly.

"Why call yourself ugly just because of acne, Princess? Who said that? I'm your husband, and I know how beautiful you are. No, none of this affects your face. You're still beautiful."

"But still! I don't like seeing it. I've gained weight and have pimples. I'm—"

Yunho kissed Mingi's lips, silencing him from all his protests about the flaws he thought he had.

"You're amazing even without looking perfect to yourself. You've been carrying our baby for almost six months. Doesn't that make you happy? You're beautiful because you're strong. Don't worry too much and stop thinking you're ugly just because of a few spots on your face. They'll go away, don't worry."

Only with that did Mingi stop crying and listen. They both quickly cleaned up the clothes that had scattered on the floor due to Kyunghwa's antics.

"Pa!" That was the only clear word heard before followed by meaningless mumbling. Kyunghwa pointed in various directions, as if wanting to show all the clothes she had thrown around the floor. Of course, Yunho and Mingi couldn’t be angry or even slightly upset with someone as sweet as Kyunghwa. Look at how she laughed when Yunho pretended to be annoyed while holding her waist.

Kyunghwa seemed happy with the fact that her brother would soon join their household. She was already good at following Yunho's instructions to hug Mingi's belly and even pet it. She kept chattering every time she touched Mingi's belly, pointing at it and laughing happily.

"Why, dear? Daddy’s belly is bigger now, right? Your sibling will be coming soon. Don’t be too grumpy, okay?"

Entering the eighth month, Mingi started doing less housework. He took care of Kyunghwa as usual, since Yunho kept working. But not with all the housework. Mostly just ironing or folding clothes. He had difficulty mopping or sweeping.
