WONWOO'S POV

"Soomiiii~" I cooed, she looked so pretty from behind as she rocked the baby slowly in her arms. 

Its been 2 months and the baby was so beautiful... 

I couldn't believe how fast these 2 months went by. The first month Soomi had trouble adjusting and she suffered from depression and lack of sleep. The baby was fussy almost all the time and she would never let us take our eyes off of her. All night she cried and wailed and Soomi cried along with her. THE ONLY SANE ONE WAS ME.

But soon we worked out a schedule and the baby started to sleep longer hours, and Soomi soon returned to the emotionally stable Soomi i knew. By now i've returned to my work and i've been working longer shifts to support the household while Soomi was on maternity leave from her job, as a store manager. 

"Hmm?" She hummed, i walked closer to her and sneaked my hands around her waist and kissed her neck.

"We should go and visit Busan tomorrow." I said. I remember that my mom took me to Busan when i was younger and it was a tradition to take me every three years. Since i was adopted when i was 3, the tradition started that way. 

"Oh yeah... You said you wanted go" She said and gently smiled.

The day of the trip...


"Wonwoo... maybe we shouldn't go to Busan..." Soomi said shocking me. We've planned this for months and she suddenly doesn't want to go? I've hired a babysitter for the baby so we could go have fun, and reserved our hotel rooms already. I even chartered a camping bus for us to use while we drive there. 

"But why the sudden change" I asked slightly annoyed. 

"I just.... Don't think its a good idea." She sighed and rubbed her hands together. 

There's something she isn't telling me. She changed a bit from before we got married. She couldn't remember simple dates and she didn't do things like she used to. I was getting more and more frustrated by the second,

"But Soomi. I can't cancel the reservations. They've been made and i'd have to pay the cancelation fee."I sighed back. She cringed her fingers and looked away.

"Okay.. i guess we could go" She sighed and walked away from the doorframe.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ride to Busan was awfully awkward and when we got there we barely said anything to each other.

"Wonwoo... I told you this was a bad idea" Soomi said when we got to the hotel. Our reservations were mixed up and we were told we'd have to pay again. 

I shook my head and forced a smile. 

"Here you go...." I said and gave the Hotel clerk my card, who then looked at Soomi who just huffed and jiggled the baby in her arms. 

We went up to our room and i lied down, tired from driving. Soomi came and sat next to me, and layed the baby in the middle of us. 

"Look.. I'm sorry. It's just i was worried okay?" She said and looked at me with those big innocent eyes of hers.

"It's fine" I said and pecked her gently on her lips. 

"Oh... can you go get me some baby wipes, i ran out" She said and shifted to lie down next to the baby. I smiled and grabbed my jacket.

"Anything for you" She smiled and blew me a kiss, which i pretended to catch and put in my pocket, making her giggle. 

I exited the building and ran down to the convenience store beside the hotel. I looked out into the horizon. The sunset was beautiful. I would ask Soomi to come and watch it with me, but she seemed tired. Better let her rest. I walked in the bells on the door Ringing, and i walked through the isles and found some baby wipes. I grabbed them and shrugged. I walked to the counter and she calculated 4 won and i handed it over to her. I walked out plastic bag in hand. I also picked up some chocolate bars and a banana milk. I sat down on a bench beside a Woman, who had sunglasses on. I bowed my head but she ignored me and stared straight forward.
