"Areum."
Calling out for him, Yoon Seoyul turned around. Lowering his hand, Cheon Areum was about to speak when Yoon Seoyul picked him up like a kid—hands sliding under his arms—and sat him on the empty kitchen island. Placing his hands on his sides, he gently kissed Cheon Areum's cheek.
"It will be done soon, so let's just stay here like this."
He immediately looped his arms around Yoon Seoyul's neck and leaned forward, hiding his face in the warm hollow at the base of his neck. His eyes slid shut as his forehead brushed skin, breath finally evening out as if his body had decided this was a safe place to stop holding itself together.
"Let's just stay like this."
Yoon Seoyul held his waist with one hand, continuing to stay just the way Cheon Areum wanted.
"Let's go early for a check-up in the morning. I want to make sure our baby is okay too."
"Hm. If you feel any discomfort, you have to tell me. I will take you to the hospital."
