Flashback...

A little boy with sleepy eyes was coming down the stairs. He spotted his mother, Yuna, sitting with another lady.

They were talking with such radiant happiness that they didn't even notice his presence. The little boy watched them with his big, innocent eyes, eventually forming a small pout because his mamma wasn't paying attention to him.

"Mumma..." he called out softly.

Both women turned their gaze toward him, momentarily lost in the pure innocence of the child standing there.

"Mumma!" he said again, more insistently.

Yuna snapped out of her trance and smiled. "Yoon, my baby! You’re awake? Did you finish your nap?"

Yoongi nodded cutely and then pointed at the guest. "Mumma, who is this aunty?"

"Baby, this aunty is Mumma’s best friend," Yuna explained warmly.

"Then why didn't you let Yoon meet Aunty before?" he asked, tilting his head.

"Because, my child, I only just reunited with Aunty today."

"Okay! First, greet Aunty properly," Yuna instructed.

Yoongi hopped down from Yuna’s lap, bowed slightly, and spoke with polite confidence: "Hello, Aunty! My name is Yoongi. I am 6 years old, and I study in the 4th standard. Nice to meet you!"

Jia was overwhelmed with joy seeing his manners. She reached out and said, "You are so cute, baby! Can I hug you?"

Yoongi nodded, and without wasting a second, Jia pulled him into a tight, emotional embrace. As she held him, tears began to stream down her face. When they separated, Yoongi used his tiny hands to wipe her tears away. "What happened, Aunty? Are you hurting somewhere?"

Yuna smiled at the sight, but Jia wiped her eyes and laughed softly. "No, baby, these are tears of happiness. Did you know? I have a baby too!"

Yoongi looked around the room, confused. "Where, Aunty? There is only Yoon here."

Jia laughed again. "The baby is right here," she said, pointing to her stomach.

Yoongi’s expression turned into one of pure bewilderment. "Aunty... you have a baby in your tummy?"

Suddenly, his eyes widened in fear. He scrambled back to Yuna.

"Mumma! Save Yoon!"
Yuna and Jia were both stunned.

"What’s wrong, baby?" Yuna asked softly.

With wide, terrified eyes, Yoongi whispered, "Mumma... Aunty ate the baby! Will she eat Yoon too? But Yoon wants to stay with Mumma!"

The two women burst into laughter while Yoongi watched them in total confusion. Finally, Yuna explained, "No, sweetheart, Aunty didn't eat the baby. A fairy came and said the baby needed a safe place to stay, so the fairy put the baby inside Aunty’s tummy so it could stay safe and warm."

Yoongi’s fear vanished, replaced by excitement. "Really, Mumma? The fairy gave Aunty a baby?"

"Yes, baby."

"Then did Yoon also come from your tummy?"

Yuna smiled tenderly. "Yes, Yoon. You and your sister Jin both came from my tummy."

As they sat together, a beautiful bond formed between Jia and Yoongi.

Soobin and the Grandmother soon joined them, and the house was filled with warmth. Jia eventually shared the truth of her suffering with them. They desperately wanted to help her, but she refused. She only wanted her delivery to go well; after that, she planned to divorce her husband and start a new life alone with her child.
