In the weeks following their trip to Jeju Island, Aurora found herself reflecting on their conversation. The idea of building a future together filled her with hope and excitement. They continued to navigate their relationship, sharing dreams and aspirations while also confronting their fears.

One afternoon, as they sat on the couch together, Auroa broached the topic that had been weighing on her heart. "Jungkook, I've been thinking about what you said. About wanting to be a family."

He looked at her, his expression open and encouraging. "Yeah? What are you thinking?"

"I want to start exploring that possibility, but I think it would help if we talked to someone about it. Maybe a counselor or therapist who specializes in family planning?" she suggested, her heart racing.

"That sounds like a great idea," he replied, nodding. "I want us to be fully prepared for whatever comes our way. I'm with you every step of the journey."

Aurora felt a wave of relief wash over her. They scheduled an appointment, and as they prepared for their first session, she felt a mix of nerves and excitement. It was a step toward building the future they both wanted.

The counselor was warm and understanding, guiding them through their concerns and hopes for the future. They discussed everything from their relationship dynamics to their individual fears about parenting and the pressures of Jungkook's career.

After their first session, Aurara felt a sense of empowerment. "Talking about this was so helpful," she said, her voice brightening. "I feel like we're taking control of our future together."

Jungkook smiled, pulling her into a side hug. "I knew you'd feel better about it. This is just the beginning."

As their counseling sessions continued, Aurora and Jungkook deepened their understanding of each other and what they wanted for their future. Each session brought new insights and a sense of clarity. They talked openly about their dreams, fears, and how they could support one another through the challenges of parenthood, especially given Jungkook's celebrity status.

One evening after a particularly impactful session, they returned home to find a cozy atmosphere waiting for them. Aurora had prepared a simple dinner, and the soft glow of candles illuminated their small dining table. As they sat down to eat, she couldn't help but smile at the effort Jungkook had put into making their life feel warm and inviting.

"Tonight's meal is delicious," Jungkook said, savoring each bite. "What's the occasion?"

"No occasion, just felt like doing something special for us," Aurora replied, feeling a flutter in her chest. "After today's session, I wanted to celebrate the progress we're making."

As they finished dinner, Jungkook looked at her with a mixture of admiration and warmth. "I'm really proud of you, my love. You've been working so hard, not just for yourself but for us."

"Thank you. I couldn't do it without your support," she said softly. "It feels good to finally talk about our future openly."

After dinner, they moved to the couch, curling up under a blanket with a movie playing softly in the background. Aurora leaned her head against Jungkook's shoulder, feeling completely at ease. The room was filled with a sense of intimacy and safety, something she had craved since the beginning of their relationship.

As the movie played, Aurora's thoughts wandered to the future. She envisioned a home filled with laughter, children running around, and the chaos that came with family life. But she also felt a lingering anxiety about how their lives would change.

"Jungkook," she said, breaking the comfortable silence. "What do you think family life will be like for us? Do you ever worry about the challenges we'll face?"

He paused for a moment, contemplating her question. "I think it will be beautiful, but it won't be easy. We'll have to work hard to balance our lives, especially with my career. But I believe that if we communicate and support each other, we can handle anything that comes our way."

His confidence reassured her, and she nodded, feeling grateful to have him by her side. "You're right. I just want to make sure we're both ready when the time comes."

Jungkook smiled, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "We will be. And we'll do it together."

A few weeks later, just as Aurora was beginning to feel more confident about their plans, she faced an unexpected setback. One morning, she started experiencing severe cramps and bleeding, which filled her with dread. She rushed to the clinic, her heart pounding in her chest.

Jungkook was by her side, his expression a mixture of concern and determination. "I'm here with you, love. No matter what happens, we'll get through this."

At the clinic, Aurora underwent a series of tests, the wait feeling like an eternity. The doctor finally entered the room, and Amara's heart sank at the serious look on his face.

"Aurora, we need to talk," he said gently. "The tests have shown some concerning signs. It's possible you're experiencing a miscarriage."

Her breath caught in her throat as she fought back tears. "What does that mean for me? For our future?"

The doctor explained the situation, outlining the physical implications and emotional toll that could come with such a loss. Aurora felt like the ground had shifted beneath her, her hopes for the future crumbling into dust.

As they left the clinic, Aurora felt hollow. Jungkook held her close, wrapping his arms around her as she fought to suppress her tears. "I'm so sorry, My love. I wish I could take this pain away."

"I just wanted to start a family with you," she whispered, her voice trembling. "And now it feels like everything is falling apart."

Jungkook cupped her face, forcing her to look into his eyes. "We'll face this together. You're not alone in this. Whatever happens, we'll work through it."
