“Uk,” I heard Yeong call me.
“Why?” I asked, still fixated on my (and her) sword.
“I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?” I asked her, still not removing my eyes on the blade.
“Tsk, nevermind,” she sighed and just started preparing the herbal tea she was previously busy with.
I raised my head and looked at her with furrowed brows. Her lips is in a small pout while preparing the tea leaves.
I chuckled and decided to sit next to her. Oh my lovely wife.
“What is it?” I asked her.
She just shook her head, her eyes still not landing on me.
“Hey, tell me please?” I poked her sides to get her to face me.
She faced me with a sour face. She raised a brow and looked ay me straight in the eye. Typical Yeong.
“What is it? Tell me,” I said, trying so hard not to smile because her face right now is just too damn cute.
“I was just supposed to say something... but...I changed my mind.”
I chuckled again and held her hand. I kissed her knuckles and held it to my face.
“Say it to me now, I’m all ears.”
Cho Yeong just continued to busy herself with the leaves, completely ignoring me.
I poked her sides again but her hand squeezed my finger causing me to stop.
“Hey stop that!” she said annoyingly.
“You may hurt the baby...” she whispered very silently yet my ears heard it crystal clear. Warmth enveloped my whole body, I was totally speechless and cannot process my thoughts.
“What baby? Yeong? I heard you...” I cupped both of her cheeks with my hands. My heart is beating so fast and loud right now. I know what I’ve heard and it’s impossible that I’ve misheard what she just said.
“Tsk...” she removed my hand from her face. I can saw tears building up on her eyes.
“Hey, look at me...” I gently held her face again so that she could face me. She stared directly at my face. A smile formed on her face and she rolled her eyes.
“You’re gonna be a dad you dummy...”
Fuck. Her words were like music to my ears. That was the most wonderful thing I’ve heard my entire life. I let out a chuckle for I can’t even say a word. This is too damn amazing.
God, I’m so happy I could literally cry. I just looked at her, my grin not leaving my face.
“What? You don’t have anything to say? You don’t want this?” she asked me with her signature pouty face.
“Yeongie... “ I trailed off.
I cupped her cheeks ang gave her a soft and gentle kiss.
“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” I said in between kisses.
She just laughed and I could see tears streaming down her face.
“Hey, you just ruined my make-up,” she joked around while trying to wipe her tears.
This woman. She’s all I ever wanted my entire life and now... inside her tummy, another person I’m sure I’ll treasure and love wholeheartedly.
“A million thank you is not enough, my Yeong.”
“Huh! Ofcourse you’ll do everything for the both of us. You’ll get my food cravings and you’ll massage my feet cuz they said my feet would sore so bad when my tummy’s already big...” she continued talking and I just can’t help but smile and stare at her the whole time.
“When I get big, you’ll still live me right? Right?”
I can’t express how happy I am. This is a million times much better than learning tansu, and getting our own house... nothing could match this excitement and nervousness.
Cho Yeong kept talking and I just continued to nod at her.
“Are you listening Uk?”
My Yeong’s forehead furrowed again.
“Yes. I’ll do anything for the both of you. Anything.” It’s true. I’ll really do anything for the both of them.
Thank you, Yeong. Thank you for this little bundle of joy that we will soon have in our arms. I can’t promise everything but one thing I’m sure of is that I’ll love you both wholeheartedly. I’ll love you with every inch of my being.
