161 – Episode 160: Responsibility
＜1＞
The year has changed and the expected date of birth is getting closer.
From the 30th week of pregnancy, she moved out of the house near the school and was living in Eunha’s house.
Since Eunwoo and Hyunjoo often come, Eunha was never alone.
Preparations for childbirth went smoothly thanks to a lot of help from my family.
Since I was due to give birth next week, I was scheduled to be admitted to the hospital as soon as next week.
The doctor said that it would be good for her husband to be by her side since the mother would be very anxious during her first birth. She
Although she was training as a tax accountant, she was doing it at a tax agency run by an acquaintance of her mother-in-law, so she was given convenience.
At first, she was treated as a bit of a paratrooper, but… Well, it’s okay now.
After the training period was over, she told me every day that I should definitely get a job here.
She wasn’t confirmed, but the salary she suggested in passing was quite attractive, so she thought she would probably continue working here.
As Eunha was about to give birth, she paid more attention to her health.
She ate easily digestible food and walked lightly around the house.
She was probably trying to allay some of her fears about giving birth.
That’s why she never lost sight of Eunha and helped Eunha more diligently than usual.
“Baby. Oh~”
“Ah~”
She fed her meat with vegetables, and Eunha smiled happily and ate it.
Eunha chewing and swallowing was very lovely.
“It’s delicious because honey feeds it to me.”
“That’s good~ Shall I give it to you again?”
“Yes, yes. “I’d like to have one more bite.”
I was eating portioned meals so as not to put a strain on my stomach.
“I understand. Now~ here. Oh~”
“I’ll eat well~”
After finishing a small meal, Eunha sat down with me on the sofa and talked about various things.
It was my effort to alleviate even a little of their worries, but I doubted whether my feelings would be conveyed intact.
Still, I thought I would do the best I could right now.
“Honey.”
“Yes. Babe.”
“hehehe. “I love it when you call me baby.”
“Baby. Babe. Babe.”
“Yes! Honey!”
Eunha smiled brightly and answered.
“Do you like calling me by my name? Or do you prefer to call me baby?”
“That’s a difficult question~ First of all, I like both. Still, if I had to choose~”
“Yes. If I had to choose~?”
“I like it when you call me baby.”
“What is the reason~?”
“Other people call me by my name too, but the only one who calls me honey is honey~”
“Yes. “I’ll call you often~”
“Thank you~ By the way, honey.”
“Yes, yes.”
“I suddenly want to eat pineapple.”
“I’ll bring it to you~”
After becoming pregnant, Eunha ate a lot of fruits.
Sometimes she looks for fruit even in the early morning, so she keeps various fruits in the refrigerator.
There was nothing without apples, strawberries, peaches, shine muskets, watermelons, and pineapples.
She ordered online and it was delivered to her home in half a day.
“It’s convenient and nice to have fruit at home! “It seems efficient.”
“Is there anything else you want to eat?”
“Yes, yes. “A little pineapple is enough.”
I headed to the kitchen and took out a pineapple.
She put the pineapple on the cutting board, cut it into bite-size pieces, and brought it to Eunha.
Eunha took a bite of pineapple and smiled happily.
“Is it delicious?”
“Yes, yes. “I think it tastes better because honey cut it into bite-size pieces.”
“There’s a lot, so if it’s not enough, tell me more.”
“This is all you need~”
After eating all of the pineapple, Eunha leaned back on the sofa.
“I’ll massage your legs and feet. Stretch this way.”
Perhaps because it was the last month of pregnancy, Eunha’s feet and legs were slightly swollen.
I heard that frequent massages are good, so I was giving them whenever I had time.
“It’s okay now~”
“It’s because I want to do it~”
“hehehe. Then I won’t decline~”
As I massaged Eunha’s feet and legs, Eunha happily called my name.
“Hangyeol.”
“Huh?”
“I just wanted to call you by my name after a long time.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Something is amazing. At first, Hangyeol. Gyeol-i. Even honey. “I’m so happy.”
“I will make you happier.”
“I don’t know if I can be happier than I am now. Is it possible to be this happy? “It’s enough.”
“That’s high praise~”
“I love you.”
“I love you too~”
We made eye contact, looking at each other affectionately.
“I have to give it to Haetnim~”
“That should be it~”
I said while stroking Haetnim carefully.
“Sunbeam. “Dad, I love you~”
“Mom, Haetnim loves you too~”

In the early morning of the third day after being admitted to the hospital, Eunha’s labor pains began and she went straight to the delivery room.
My father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Eun-woo were anxiously waiting in front of the delivery room for the birth to end.
I heard that it might take longer than expected since it was my first pregnancy, but as time went by, I became anxious.
I even felt sorry for her wife because I could do nothing but wait in silence.
It broke my heart to think that Eunha was going through unimaginable pain.
After a few hours of pacing in front of the delivery room, the door to the delivery room opened and a nurse came out.
“I think the baby will be born soon. “Can your husband please come inside?”
“Yes… !”
I hurried into the delivery room.
Following the nurse’s instructions, I washed my hands and put on a blue disinfectant gown.
After putting on sterilized gloves, I entered the delivery room with a pounding heart.
As soon as I came in, the baby’s cries filled the delivery room.
-aaa! Ugh-!
As soon as a strong cry was heard, tears poured out.
And my wife, who looked very tired, made eye contact with me and smiled weakly.
“Honey… ! The sun has come… !”
“Yes… ! Thank you for your hard work… Really… It was really hard… !”
As Eunha and I shed tears, we engraved this moment in her heart.
With the help of a nurse, the umbilical cord was cut and after simple treatment, Haetnim was given to her wife.
As soon as she hugged Haetnim, who was born so lovely and healthy, Eunha smiled happily.
“Hello, Sun.. I should say hello to my dad too…” ?”
“Hello, Sun. I’m dad… I…! Dad… !”
Our very pretty, small and precious daughter.
The fruit of love between me and Eunha was alive and breathing.
Haetnim headed to the neonatal room, and her Eunha was also moved to the hospital room after a simple examination and treatment.
I quickly left the delivery room and spoke to my family waiting outside.
My parents also arrived and they all jumped up and looked at me.
“Be healthy… I was born well… ! Eunha is also healthy..!”
The adults sighed in relief at my words.
My mother-in-law seemed to have lost strength in her legs and slumped down in his chair.
“Thank God… !”
“You both worked hard..!”
“Yes..! Every… thank you… !”
It was a really long time until the child was born.
I was able to reach this point thanks to the help of many people.
I was so grateful and so happy.

I couldn’t even remember how I spent the first day after giving birth.
I massaged Eunha’s stomach in the hospital room and helped Eunha recover her energy.
All I could remember was holding Eunha’s hand as she barely fell asleep after receiving iron tablets and intravenous fluids in the early morning.
The next morning, when it was time to see Haetnim, the whole family gathered together and headed to the neonatal room.
“It is the sun… !”
The nurse in the neonatal room brought Haetnim in front of the glass window.
My wife and family all smiled brightly when they saw Haetnim.
“Honey. Sunnim’s nose is the same as Honey’s..!”
“Oh my. That’s right. “I think your mouth resembles Eunha’s.”
“Wow… ! “Is this my nephew?!”
“Shh… ! “I’m sleeping so I have to speak quietly..!”
As soon as I saw Haetnim sleeping peacefully, my eyes became red again.
His heart swelled when he saw that Haetnim was healthy.
“Oh my, baby’s dad is crying again~”
“I’m sorry… So pretty. Our sun… “I think it’s so pretty.”
“Oh~ stop crying~”
“Yes. Honey~ You just have to show Haetnim smiling~”
After the short visiting time was over, the family members went home.
A few days later, Eunha decided to enter a postpartum care center, and I also reported to the company that the baby had been born healthy.
My co-workers also sent me congratulatory messages.
“Honey..!”
“Yes. Babe. “Do you need anything?”
“hehehe. I just called. “At first, I was a little scared about giving birth, but I am so happy when Haenim was born.”
“Yes. It was really hard. “It was difficult alone.”
In response to my words, my wife placed her hand on my cheek and said.
“I was able to endure it because I thought about you, honey.”
“Thank you…! For saying that.”
I also held Eunha’s hand.

“Honey.”
“Yes.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too. I love you the most in the world. “I love you as much as Eunha.”
“Now let’s live happily together, the three of us?”
I responded strongly to Eunha’s words.
“Yes! I’ll make you happy! Baby too! Sunbeam too! “I’m a dad now!”
