"Aigoo, look at that belly! Who knew that you could be so skinny and yet have a stomach like that?"

"Mom..."

"Oh come on Akia! It's cute!"

"Yeah but not when you say it like that.."

Somehow, the time seems to pass by faster and faster. Right now I'm 8 months pregnant and my mom and Jeanna came to Korea for my baby shower. Even though it's in a few days, they wanted to spend some extra time with me.

Jeanna came up to me and smiled, "I have no idea what your mom is saying but YOU LOOK SO CUTE!~"

I laughed. "In a way she said I look cute."

Jeanna put her hand on my bulging stomach. "Hello....Ha....Ha..ne-"

"HaNeul," I corrected her.

"Right...I guess since I'll be in Korea with you for awhile I have to pick up some words..."

"Don't worry Jeanna~ I'll help you~" I sang.

"I know you will~ You kind of have to since you're the only person I know here that speaks English...."

I laughed. "Just remember how to say HaNeul. That way she'll recognize your voice," I told her.

"Ha..Neul. HaNeul...Okay I think I got it. But, why don't you give her an American name too?"

"Well, I know most people's American names really match with who they are. So for now it's just HaNeul."

"That's okay~ I'll get better at it....HaNeul," Jeanna smiled rubbing her hand across my stomach. Suddenly, I could feel a small kick in my ribcage.

"Oh my gosh! She kicked!" Jeanna screamed.

"Yeah...it's cute to you but it kills me..." I said.

My mom walked over to me and laughed. "Don't worry. Your baby will be so beautiful."

After they finished talking to me Ryeowook walked over to me and whispered. "I have no idea what they just told you...."

I laughed quietly. "Don't worry oppa, Jeanna is the only one that doesn't speak Korean but I'm going to help her."

"Good. I don't want your best friend to think I'm not talking to her because I don't like her..."

"She understands," I smiled and turned to Jeanna. She smiled and waved to Ryeowook as he waved back. "I wish Ryeowook would at least try to speak English with her...he sounds so cute!!"

A few hours passed and we went out to have dinner with my mom and Jeanna. Of course...since Ryeowook didn't speak English too good and Jeanna didn't speak Korean at all, I was used as a translator for the whole dinner. Of course, it's hard to talk when all you want to do is it. I mean, I am eating for 2 people after all...

After the dinner, my mom and Jeanna decided to go back to their hotels and rest. While Ryeowook and I decided to watch some movies until we fell asleep or got really tired.

"Akia."

"Yeah?"

"It's 10:00."

"Oh, we know what that means," I said as Ryeowook placed a hand on my stomach. Every night at 10:00, HaNeul would always move around. That or use my ribcage as a punching bag. To everyone else it was really cute but they had no idea what it felt like inside. It hurts....terribly....

"Hello HaNeul~ Looks like you're going to be a soccer player, huh? Always kicking your mommy~" Ryeowook sang.

"Yep...always kicking..." I sighed.
