Woo-woo-woo.
It felt like I was sinking into the warm bottom of a lake…, and I dreamed.
“Urrgh-!!”
“Mom! Just hold on a little longer!”
“Dear! Just a bit more!!”
Hospital.
Busy obstetricians and nurses.
A familiar-faced mother…, and a familiar-faced husband.
“Ugh-!!!”
“WAAAAAAAH-!!”
The struggling mother, with her last bit of strength, gives birth to a baby, and the doctor and nurse wrap the baby in a blanket with bright smiles, saying,
“The baby has arrived-!!”
“Haah…, haah….”
“…….”
The two people wear blank expressions at the mention of the baby’s arrival.
“Dad, please cut the umbilical cord here.”
“Oh…, ye-yes…!”
The husband, with shaking hands, finally cuts the umbilical cord after being prompted by the doctor.
“Dad, hold the baby just once!”
“WAAAAAAAH-!!”
The doctor gently places the wrapped baby into the still trembling husband’s arms.
He looks down at his child and then….
Drip.
Bursting into tears, he approaches his wife.
“De-dear…! Huhu…, you worked so hard…. Th-this baby is our baby…! Our baby….”
“Haah…, haah….”
Seeing her husband and child approach, the exhausted wife smiles softly and lets a single tear fall.
“Our daughter…, our Love…, she’s so pretty…. This lovely baby came out of my belly….”
‘Love’ was the baby’s nickname.
A name that pledged to raise the child well, filled only with love.
The mother gazes tenderly at the baby, whispering as if she wouldn’t forget that pledge.
“Love…, my beautiful baby…. I’m your mom. Please take care of me from now on.”
Seeing the baby and his wife, the husband wipes his tears and smiles.
“Dear…, now that she’s born, we should call her by her real name, not a nickname.”
“Oh, right, heh heh.”
Then, with eyes that seemed like they would bring down stars from this world and a sweet voice, he leans in and whispers to the child.
“Ye-rin, we may still be lacking in many ways…, but we will do our best. Our daughter Ye-rin, Daddy and Mommy love you so much.”
The baby, whose nickname was ‘Love’, was named Ha Ye-rin.
In other words…, it was me.
The young couple here is my Dad and Mom.
“Dear, let’s raise our Ye-rin well. She should be the most precious in the world…, happy without any worries….”
“Yes…, I will surely do that for our prettiest daughter…!”
And so the dream ended, accompanied by my parents’ firm pledge.
