"Haneul? Can I ask you something?"

Jungseok's quiet baritone gently broke the silence in the room. The sun had yet to rise but Haneul was already awake as usual.

She looked away from the dim screen of her phone, the blue light illuminating her face.
"What is it?"

"It's about Kookie," he said.

Haneul lowered her phone, giving her husband her full attention. "What about him?"

Jungseok took a breath before speaking. Knowing his wife, this wasn't going to be the easiest conversation.

"How long do you think he should keep sleeping in the family room?"

"Until I get tired of it," she said defiantly.

"Don't you think he's been sleeping on the couch long enough? It's not exactly easy on the back."

"It hasn't even been that long," she said, folding her arms.

"It's been about a month, honey."

"And where do you suggest he sleep?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Ok... hear me out," he began.

"I hate when you say 'ok, hear me out.' " she mumbled.

"I propose that he goes back to his room."

"And where will Hyun-Ji sleep?"

And here it comes. "...In Jungkook's room."

Haneul laughed and patted his leg. "You're so funny, dear," she said. "Why would I allow that?"

"Haneul, why can't they sleep in the same room?"

"You know why!" she said sternly.

"And you think separating them is going to stop it? Honey, they were sleeping in separate houses and she got pregnant. It's already happened, and I can guarantee you it's happening no matter where they sleep."

"So I'm supposed to be ok with it and let them do whatever they want in my house?"

"I'm not telling you that you have to be ok with it. All I'm saying is the reality of the situation. We can't control what they do. They're technically adults. So why keep punishing them like this? I think he's gotten your message loud and clear."

"I'll be honest with you, Jungseok. I'm not on board with this."

"You say that as if you never snuck me into your dorm room before. Or snuck me out if it," he said, the corners of his lips turning up.

Haneul paused, pursing her lips together. "That was different."

"How?" he smiled.

"We were adults."

Jungseok kept smiling as a response. It was a weak argument and she knew it.

"Well... you and I were in love. And it's not like we were having sex all the time. We just wanted to be close," she countered.

"Jungkook is in love, honey," he said softly.

"They're in love? I thought he was just being a horny rabbit."
