Chapter 17: Heavy with Love

10 August 2008 – The Tranquil Nest, Yesung & Ryeowook's Mansion

The morning sun filtered softly through the large bay windows of the music room at the Tranquil Nest, casting a golden glow on Ryeowook's peaceful face. He sat by the grand piano, cradling his swollen belly with one hand while the other rested on the keys. Eight months pregnant, Ryeowook was feeling the weight of his baby more than ever. His small frame struggled with the extra burden, and every movement seemed to require effort. Yet, his soft smile remained as he hummed the lullaby they had written for their child.

"운, 아기가 들었으면 좋겠어. 우리 노래 정말 마음에 들어할까?" (Woon, I hope the baby hears this. Do you think they'll like our song?) Ryeowook's voice was gentle, his tone filled with affection as he spoke to his husband, Yesung, who sat beside him in the music room.

Yesung smiled warmly, his hand gently rubbing Ryeowook's belly, as if to comfort both Ryeowook and the baby. "자기야, 우리 아기는 이미 엄마 아빠의 노래를 사랑하고 있을 거야." (Jagiya, our baby already loves our song. I'm sure of it.) He leaned over and kissed Ryeowook's temple, his touch tender and full of love.

Ryeowook sighed softly, shifting in his seat. "요즘 정말 너무 무거워. 조금만 움직여도 숨이 차고, 잘 때도 불편해서... 우리 아기도 곧 태어나려는 거겠지?" (I feel so heavy these days. Just a little movement makes me short of breath, and sleeping is uncomfortable... Do you think our baby is ready to come soon?)

Yesung's eyes softened as he heard the weariness in Ryeowook's voice. He had been watching his omega struggle with the physical demands of the pregnancy, and it pained him to see Ryeowook uncomfortable. He placed a comforting arm around Ryeowook's shoulders, pulling him close. "자기야, 조금만 더 힘내. 곧 우리 아기가 세상에 나올 테니까, 그때는 더 이상 무거운 건 없을 거야. 내가 항상 네 옆에 있을게." (Jagiya, just hang in there a little longer. Our baby will be here soon, and then you won't have to carry the weight anymore. I'll always be by your side.)

Ryeowook rested his head against Yesung's chest, the rhythm of his alpha's heartbeat calming him. "운, 네가 옆에 있어서 다행이야. 혼자였다면 정말 힘들었을 거야." (Woon, I'm so glad you're here with me. I don't know how I'd manage without you.)

Yesung gently stroked his hair, his voice low and soothing. "난 항상 너랑 우리 아기를 지킬 거야. 아무 걱정하지 마." (I'll always protect you and our baby. Don't worry about a thing.)

A soft knock on the door interrupted their quiet moment. Mr. Hwang Tae-joon, their head butler, entered the room with his usual composed demeanor. "예성 님, 려욱 님. 아침 식사가 준비되었습니다." (Yesung-nim, Ryeowook-nim. Breakfast is ready.)

Yesung nodded with a smile. "감사합니다, 황태준 씨. 조금 있다가 갈게요." (Thank you, Mr. Hwang. We'll be there in a moment.)

Once Mr. Hwang left, Yesung carefully helped Ryeowook to his feet. Even standing was a challenge for Ryeowook at this stage, and Yesung made sure to be there, supporting his omega every step of the way.

"운, 아침 먹고 나서 조금 밖에 나가고 싶어. 정원에서 바람 좀 쐬면 좋을 것 같아." (Woon, after breakfast, I'd like to go outside for a bit. I think some fresh air in the garden would feel good.) Ryeowook said softly, leaning on Yesung as they walked to the dining room.

"물론이지, 자기야. 너에게 좋은 건 뭐든지 하자." (Of course, Jagiya. Whatever makes you feel better, we'll do.) Yesung replied, guiding him carefully through the hallway.

At the dining table, Chef Seo Min-ah had prepared a light and nutritious breakfast suited to Ryeowook's needs. Fresh fruit, oatmeal, and a small portion of grilled fish were laid out with care, ensuring that both the baby and Ryeowook were getting the nutrients they needed.
