“Mingi…”

That’s the only word that has continuously escaped Yunho’s lips throughout his journey to the hospital.

Even now, as he’s been taken to a special room and changed into a hospital gown. He won’t be delivering on a standard delivery table, but on a small bed.

Yes, the pain has distracted him from his frustration with Mingi for hurting and neglecting him. He just wants Mingi by his side right now.

Minutes passed, with unbearable pain and contractions radiating from his lower abdomen to his waist and back, Yunho finally reached full dilation.

His body was drenched in sweat from exhaustion and heat. At the same time, fatigue set in. He felt drained and wanted it all to end quickly.

“Breathe, Yunho,” Dr. Ahn instructed.

“Hhh… Mingi…” Yunho continued to call out his husband’s name amid his breathing exercises.

“Yunho, try to push him out. I can see the top of his head. It would be a shame if you just stayed still.”

One of the nurses wiped the beads of sweat from Yunho’s forehead, temples, and neck.

“But I want Mingi…”

“Alright, nurse, please call his husband here.”

“He isn’t here…” Yunho sobbed. The tears streaming down his cheeks were not just from physical pain but also from the sadness of feeling abandoned. “He hates me…”

Who said that?

It turned out, when a nurse stepped out to ask people in the hallway, Mingi was there. So were San and Hongjoong, who Yunho had informed directly via chat.

San had brought Mingi here.

Mingi was busy at the office when San came to his office. He asked Ms. Kim Yoohyun, his division boss, for permission to leave early. Naturally, the boss couldn’t refuse.

Since arriving at the hospital, Mingi wanted desperately to enter the room where Yunho was being attended to. But he couldn’t just walk in and didn’t know how. Fortunately, the nurse came out and asked.

Of course, Mingi should be with Yunho. He is the greatest source of strength to help Yunho through this.

Mingi followed the nurse into the room after changing into special clothing, seeing Yunho in distress. He also saw the baby’s head starting to appear from the birth canal connected to Yunho’s opening. It looked terrifying to him.

How is Yunho doing this?

How can he endure this life-threatening situation?

Now Mingi holds Yunho’s weak hand, channeling his strength.

“Mingi…” Yunho still cries. “You come…”

Mingi wipes away the tears from Yunho’s cheeks. “Yes, my love. I’m here with you. You don’t want to meet our son alone, do you?” He gives Yunho his best smile, to soothe him and make him feel better.

“You don’t love me anymore…”

“No, dear,” he kisses Yunho’s wet forehead. “How could I stop loving someone who is fighting to bring our child into this world? You’ve only made me fall more in love with you.”

Yunho wants to float away from hearing those sweet words. But he doesn’t remember to think about them even for a moment. He’s still moaning in pain between heavy breaths.

Mingi looks at Dr. Ahn, who gives him a signal, and Mingi nods.

It’s time to take the dangle position.
