Offspring Warriors 🍼 YunGi [⏹]

40

A bright day, a beautiful afternoon. The perfect time to go about routines, a time filled with activity.

Unfortunately, as good as the weather looks, it’s not enough to improve Yunho’s days and mood.

On top of that, he’s been experiencing more frequent contractions, which are becoming increasingly painful day by day. He manages them by regulating his breathing and enduring the pain.

When he bends down to look at his belly, he notices that his large belly has dropped, a sign that Junghwan is getting closer and is more ready to meet him. Yunho smiles at that thought amidst the pain.

Then he moans, grimacing as Junghwan kicks incessantly inside. He was just about to step into the kitchen to get a glass of water when he suddenly feels something happen in his abdomen. It’s like a balloon bursting inside. It makes him flinch, just like every time Junghwan kicks hard or moves suddenly inside.

Feeling something unusual, Yunho notices his pants are wet. Even the clear fluid has soaked the floor.

He still has enough memory to recall that Dr. Ahn Hwasa, his doctor, had said that if the amniotic fluid is gone, the baby needs to be delivered immediately because that fluid has been sustaining the baby’s life.

If the mother doesn’t act quickly, the baby could run out of breath and the worst possibility, they could die.

His contractions are stronger than usual, he’s reached several centimeters of dilation, and the birth canal is partially open. Not fully, but action must be taken immediately.

Why is this happening? He’s sure Dr. Ahn said the due date was February 23. There should still be five days left.

But there’s nothing to be done if it’s come to this.

“Mom!” he half-shouts calling for his mother.

“Dad!”

He hears no response.

Oh yes, he remembers now that his parents had left for their afternoon walk.

So he quickly grabs his phone to call his parents. Alternating between his mother and father. And the result is the same. He hears his parents’ phone ringing on the table.

Yunho briefly facepalm before finally stumbling to his room to grab the bag with Junghwan’s essentials he had prepared earlier at his small house. He grabs his father’s car keys hanging near the living room cabinet, takes the car, and drives urgently.

It seems he’ll have to unleash his inner racer now.

Navigating the streets, merging with the city’s outside world he hasn’t felt in days.

He keeps driving. The car speeds on.

He is determined not to drive slowly and forget to be careful. He is in a hurry, so he keeps accelerating. Because for him, the most important thing right now is the safety of his baby.

Unbeknownst to him, he is also risking his own life.
