Offspring Warriors 🍼 YunGi [⏹]

Breath hunted, colliding with the air surrounding Yunho.

Sweat drenched his forehead and neck.

In the middle of the night, sitting on his bed, he awoke from a nightmare.

Realizing it was only a dream, he rubbed his large, round belly that carried their seven-month-old fetus. He sobbed so loudly that it might have woken his husband sleeping beside him.

"What's wrong, darling? Hm? What happened?" Mingi, who had also sat up, immediately began rubbing Yunho's trembling back.

"Junghwan, Mingi..."

"Yes? What's wrong with our little hero?"

"I don't want to lose Junghwan, again and again. I... I don't want to..."

Mingi wiped the tears from Yunho's cheeks. "Calm down, dear. It was just a dream. Junghwan is fine. See? He's still here with us. He will continue to grow well and be born safely as long as we take care of him, okay?" He wiped the sweat from Yunho's forehead, temples, and neck area using tissues pulled from the box on the bedside table.

Nodding weakly, Yunho tried to stop his tears. Mingi helped him lie down slowly because, for a seven-month pregnancy, Yunho's belly appeared unusually large. It seemed as if it contained a nine-month-old baby, making Yunho feel twice as difficult in his daily activities.

Mingi gave Yunho a kiss on the forehead before Yunho eventually lay back on his side, turning his back to Mingi so Mingi could spoon him from behind. Kissing Yunho's damp nape and the back of his head, Mingi rubbed Yunho's belly with his large hand, trying to calm Junghwan, who was restlessly kicking and making Yunho wince in pain.

"Junghwan, be a good boy and stop worrying your mother..."

No one should say this is a sign of some extraordinary event.

If it’s not something neither of them ever hoped for.
