"Se Ri—Se Ri—Se Ri—Listen to me. Just hold my hand tight, okay?" Jeong Hyeok's voice quivers as he stands beside Se Ri, who's lying on a birthing bed. Holding her right hand, he speaks. "You are doing fine."

"Hmm." Se Ri blinks, her half-opened eyes set on Jeong Hyeok's. She touches the back of his hand with her other hand which has a cannula attached to it, IV fluids being administered to her. "It doesn't pain now. I can't feel anything down there, Hyeoki."

"It's because of epidural. You won't feel pain now. We're almost there. Just try to push hard this time, okay." Jeong Hyeok speaks, cleaning the sweat beads from her forehead with a towel.

The labour room is brimming with healthcare professionals, who're constantly observing fetal monitors strapped to Se Ri's abdomen and checking up on her dilation during each contraction. The team is lead by Se Ri's obstetrician, Dr. Marilyn Bacani Caliguiran, a young doctor of Filipino descent.

"I—-I'm—-t—-trying

"I—-I'm—-t—-trying." Se Ri screams, flinching as she pushes with all her might, pressure coursing through her abdomen, giving her instinctive urge to push.

"Good girl, Se Ri. Push more." Dr. Caliguiran speaks, her hands at work under Se Ri's gown.

"Plus three station, doctor." One of the nurses shouts.
