Echoes Of Unspoken Connections

14. New parents in the house

Few days passed, nothing out of the normal happened. Until,

It was sunday, Jin, Yoongi and Namjoon were at work "What's this weird smell?" Aeri (Jin's wife) asked as she began to smell around the house.  Byeol, who was sitting with her also smelled around "I smell nothing unnie" she stated. "No, it's disgus-" Aeri was replying but she had the sudden urge to throw so she ran to the washroom.

"Unniee" Byeol yelled and ran behind her. She got worried seeing Aeri throwing up and started patting her back to help her. As soon as Aeri was done throwing up, Byeol gave her some water "Drink it, you will feel better" she said gently. "Thank you" Aeri replied and drank some of it.

"Did you eat anything weird?" Byeol asked with worry. "No, I just ate normal food. Nothing more" Aeri replied with confusion as she didn't understand the reason for her sudden throwing up.

"Don't worry, your stomach might be acting up, you want some medicine?" Byeol asked her. "Nah, I will be fine" she replied and went out of the room leaving Byeol alone.

"Is she pregnant? Don't think too much, idiot. She just threw up, it doesn't mean she is pregnant" Byeol thought and smacked her own head for thinking too much.

Three days later, at night, in Jin and Aeri's room, the latter laid on the bed as she was feeling too much tired even though she didn't work much. Jin just got out of the shower, seeing his wife sleeping on the bed so early made him worry.

"Baby? Are you fine? Why are you sleeping so early?" he asked with worry. "I am fine Jin" she replied with a annoyed voice.

"Okay, something is wrong? Are you feeling sick?" He asked again and laid beside her by wrapping his hands around her. "Leave me alone Jin, can't you understand?" she yelled a little and turned to the other side.

Jin didn't understand what was wrong with her, so he asked again, with a soft voice "What happened darling?" but he didn't get any answer. He sighed and closed his eyes as he was tired from all the work.

Like this, for few days, Aeri was having constant mood swings, throwing up some times, feeling tired and nauseous.

One day, while everyone except the parents were having breakfast,

"Can you pass me the salt?" Jin said to no one in particular as he ate his breakfast and looked at his phone. He waited for few seconds but there was no reply. He kept the phone aside and looked up "I asked s- why are you crying baby?" he asked immediately seeing his wife with teary eyes.

"You don't like my food?" Aeri asked as tears threatened to fall from her eyes. "No, I didn't mean that. It needed more salt, so I asked for it" Jin replied softly and tried to hold her face gently.

"Don't touch me. I know you don't like my food and you also don't like me" she shouted making everyone at the table look at her with wide eyes.

Jin got shocked, "Babe, what are you sayi-"

"DON'T TALK TO ME" she yelled and dashed to her room.

"Aeri!!" Jin called out for her but she ran away.

Jin turned towards the others and looked at them. "I didn't mean that" he said with a low voice. "Hyung, you made noona cry" Taehyung said with a sad voice as he ate his food. Yoongi smacked his head and gestured him to shut up as Jin was looking sad and guilty.

"What are you doing here instead of making up to unnie?" Byeol asked and looked at him with a questioning face. "She doesn't like if I talk to her when she is mad at me. She would like me to leave her alone for few minutes" Jin replied with a small pout on his face and Byeol nodded in understanding.
