Her fingers brush past his hair as he lays on his stomach so as to massage her aching belly properly with the citrus oil..
"You'll get tired yeobo.." she says with a weak smile as her eyes keep staring her husband.
He's been all about helping her throughout her pregnancy. Not only because it's his duty but also because it's a tough pregnancy for seohyun.She gets tired too easily. Her hands and thighs would get sore without her even lifting an object.
However, out of all the pain she was having, her back and her lower abdomen strung terribly than the other parts of her body.The doctor did warn her how weak she was to carry a child.
But she never listened.
Despite her weakness that she'd get occasionally during her second trimester, she'd still manage to keep her husband in a lie.Although all those lies were of no good use as jungkook could clearly see through her dried expressions she tried hard to disguise.
"Your silence scares me" she speaks again, stopping his hands from motioning further on her bulged stomach.
Jungkook presses his lips together and looks at her keenly, "look at yourself hyun.. you are being really stubborn!" He half yells yet his wife only glares at him with the same smile on her perfect face,
" Look, the baby can wait.. please understand that your health is more important to me than having a family..""But I want to give you the baby you've always wanted, kook. The baby we have desired since the day we married!" She exclaims rubbing her bump in the process,
She sighs before continuing, "kook.. my mom told me once.." she picks his hands so as to entangle her fingers into his manly ones,
"The feeling of having to raise a child is something no power in this world can define.. only a mother can understand that kind of feeling.
She told me how much good she felt the day I was born.." she speaks a little dreamily, "your first breath took mine away.." she chuckles quoting her mother.."I want to see that day jungkook.. let me own the moment.. please"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He sobs silently as the flashbacks of his beloved wife keeps striking at the back of his mind.
Nothing new actually.. he's been driven to daydream about his late wife for the past 3 months now..
His entire schedule of the day centers missing her.
Her aura, her essence, her presence, her smile, her lame jokes and everything that once defined her...It's all memories now....
The faint knock on the door alerts him. He quickly wipes off his tears and grins widely so that it doesn't looks obvious that he's been crying for an hour now..
Clearing his throat, he clicks open the knob only to find his sister standing with his baby girl cradled in her protective arms.
"Mission accomplished!" She whispers so as to not wake the baby up.
Oh well whoever said only a mother can understand her child deserves a trophy.
Indeed areum seemed to be out of control without her mommy around, the poor thing didn't even know she is mother less.. all she knows is three people dotting around her like maniacs to shush her god damn wails!It was after the shocking news of seohyun passing away after delivery that Jungkook's mother and sister, jisoo, came all the way from busan only to take care of him and the baby.
They knew it was hard for Jungkook. The terribly hurt boy cried rivers in his mother's laps for a one whole month as he couldn't believe the news.
Now even though he acted all tough like as if he was moving on.. jisoo and momma jeon knew he was still there.
For three whole months he hadn't visited his workplace, for three whole months there were no signs of him being the social animal he used to be and for three whole months he was suffering to get adapt to manage his babygirl.
It was mostly jisoo and Mrs jeon who were technically taking care of areum since Jungkook couldn't do it alone.Jisoo looks at her brother with a painful smile as she hands him over his princess, who apparently looked a dash of both seohyun and him..
"Do you want me to take her in my room to sleep?" She asks as jungkook picks areum up and covers her ears with the soft purple blanket that he had recently bought for her as the first one was torn the time he was cleaning it.
"No it's okay.." he states
"She'll start crying for food.. don't come in my room whining for help" she jokes reminding him of how stupidly he had literally begged jisoo to make areum stop crying..
He still doesn't know when and why she cries..
This bunny is still trying to learn.Jungkook chuckles a little, "fine! Now go sleep"
With that jisoo nods and heads towards her designated room.
She finds her mother sitting still, reading a classic novel as she always enjoys.
"Eomma?" Jisoo asks confused as she sees her mother still awake, "I thought you slept"
Mrs jeon closes her book shut and removes her glasses as she clears her throat.
"Was he still crying?" She asks
Jisoo nods. Even though kook was desperately putting that bright smile on his face, his sis knew how hurt he was and how much hard he was trying to camouflage the same.
"Jisoo.... I think it's high time we should do something about this.. I can't see him suffering like this"
Jisoo nods, "a part of me dies seeing oppa in pain.. I don't know how will he manage alone once we head back home"
Mrs jeon sighs before continuing, "I think re marrying is the only choice left.. I know it's hard but what can we do, jisoo.. we can't put a random girl around nor would he accept that.."
Jisoo opens her mouth widely but closes it soon as she realizes that her mom wasn't kidding, "I don't think he'll accept re marrying either.."
"Only time will tell that, hun"
