The next morning, Yuri was beaming with excitement as Taehyung helped her into the car. She was four months pregnant now, and this check-up felt especially significant. Taehyung carefully closed the car door behind her, ensuring her safety before taking his place behind the wheel.

As they drove to the hospital, Yuri couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions... happiness, nervousness, and anticipation. Taehyung, sensing her unease, reached out and gently took her hand in his.

Upon arrival, Taehyung donned a black mask to conceal his identity, protecting their private moment from prying eyes. He led Yuri to their personal doctor's chambers, his hand still clasped around hers.

Inside the cozy cabin, Dr. Cha greeted them warmly. "Good morning, Mr. And Mrs. Kim! Please, make yourselves comfortable." She smiled, her eyes twinkling with kindness.

Taehyung helped Yuri onto the examination table, a sofa-like chair designed for pregnant women. As she settled in, her nerves began to show. Taehyung immediately went to her side, taking her hand in his and pressing a soothing kiss to her palm.

Dr. Cha began the examination, gently rubbing a cool gel onto Yuri's belly. "This might feel a bit chilly, but it's necessary for the ultrasound." She smiled reassuringly.

Taehyung's eyes never left Yuri's face, his expression a mirror of her emotions. As the doctor placed the device on Yuri's tummy, a soft whooshing sound filled the room, the heartbeat of their baby.

Taehyung's eyes widened in awe, his breath catching in his throat. Yuri's eyes brimmed with happy tears, her face radiant with joy. The doctor smiled, "Look at the screen, you two."

The monitor displayed a tiny, bean-like figure moving and kicking. Taehyung's gaze was transfixed, his eyes shining with wonder. He couldn't believe this tiny being was his child, growing inside the woman he loved.

Yuri's tears flowed freely now, her laughter and sobs intertwining as she gazed at their baby. Taehyung wrapped his arms around her, holding her close as they both basked in the magic of this moment.

Dr. Cha smiled, "Everything looks perfect. Your baby is healthy and thriving." She continued the examination, taking measurements and checking for any potential issues.

As the check-up concluded, Taehyung and Yuri exchanged a glance, their hearts overflowing with love and gratitude. They knew this journey would be filled with ups and downs, but in this moment, they were invincible, united by their love for each other and their unborn child.

The doctor's words echoed in Taehyung's mind as he nodded enthusiastically, taking mental notes of every instruction. "Eat healthy, no fast food, light exercise, and no work." He looked at Yuri, ensuring she was paying attention, but she just smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

As they were about to leave the hospital, Taehyung asked, "When should we come back for the next check-up?" The doctor replied, "Next month, same time." Taehyung nodded, already planning their next appointment.

Time skipped, and they found themselves back home. Taehyung surprised Yuri with a cheesecake and flowers, hoping to brighten her day. However, his plans were foiled when he discovered Yuri on the couch, surrounded by an assortment of food from the fridge.

Her snack selection included pizza, ice cream, pickles, and chocolate chips. Taehyung's eyes widened in amusement as Yuri snatched the cheesecake box from him, ignoring the flowers. She opened the box and began mixing the cheesecake with... pickles and chocolate chips.

Taehyung's face contorted in confusion. "Yuri, what are you doing?" He chuckled, intrigued by her unusual combination.

Yuri, with a mouthful of the bizarre mix, gestured for Taehyung to try it. He hesitated, but her persistent nodding convinced him to take a bite. The moment the food touched his tongue, his face went blank.
