#Side Story Episode 9

“Tell me straight.”

He was about to say “If this is a joke, you bastard, you’re dead,” but Eun Hyeok’s expression was more serious than ever.

“You bastard. Won’t you speak properly?”

Even while urging Eun Hyeok on, he found himself hoping it was just a joke.

Kang Hyeok stared intently at Eun Hyeok’s mouth.

“Da-som is pregnant. Can’t you even do that one thing properly?”

Kang Hyeok slowly caught his breath and blinked slowly.

What did he just hear?

Our Da-som is pregnant?

“…Say it again. Did you just say pregnant?”

“Yeah. Preg. Don’t you know preg?”

His heart clenched painfully.

Da-som was having a child.

His child, no less.

“Where is Da-som right now?”

“Well, you see…”

Kang Hyeok didn’t even wait to hear the rest of Eun Hyeok’s words and started running.

Da-som would be at the restaurant right now.

No, maybe she wasn’t at the restaurant.

He felt like he wouldn’t be able to breathe until he saw Da-som’s face.

Pregnant!

He didn’t know how Eun Hyeok found out about the pregnancy before him, but that wasn’t what mattered.

His wife was pregnant.

Though he had wanted to have a child, he was sure they had been using contraception thoroughly, but there must have been a mistake.

Clenching his fists, Kang Hyeok left the Emergency Room Lounge and started running.

“Oh, Professor Tae!”

Just then, Seong-ho, who was passing through the hallway, spotted Kang Hyeok and greeted him.

“Where are you going in such a hurry! Is there an emergency patient?”

There was no way Seong-ho would register in Kang Hyeok’s attention.

Finding Da-som was the priority.

While running down the hallway, Kang Hyeok belatedly realized he wasn’t even wearing his gown.

His phone was in his gown pocket.

Just as he was thinking about going back, he saw Seong-ho running toward him, panting.

“Huff, huff, Professor Tae, why did you stop running? Hurry up and run!”

What is he talking about?

“Seong-ho, lend me your phone.”

“Where did you leave your phone?”

“Just give it to me. I’ll use it briefly.”

Perhaps sensing something ominous in his fierce gaze, Seong-ho obediently handed over his phone.

Seong-ho was holding his side and panting.

Looking at Seong-ho with puzzlement, Kang Hyeok immediately called Da-som.

―Yes, Professor.

“Da-som, where are you right now?”

Upon hearing Da-som’s voice, his eyes grew hot and his throat choked up without him realizing it.

―Oh, Professor Tae?

“Yeah, it’s me. Where are you now? I need to see you.”

―I’m in front of the convenience store right now. But why are you calling from Professor Ma’s phone?

“You mean the convenience store next to the main building?”

―Yes.

“Stay right there and don’t move. I’ll be there soon.”

After ending the call, Kang Hyeok returned the phone to Seong-ho.

“Thanks for letting me use it. I’ll be going now.”

Calm down, Tae Kang-hyeok.

Why are you acting like an idiot!

He muttered to himself and rubbed his face.

As he was about to head to the convenience store, Seong-ho blocked his path.

“Why aren’t you running? Where’s the emergency patient?”

“What are you talking about?”

Kang Hyeok’s thick eyebrows slightly raised.

“Wasn’t there an emergency patient?”

Looking at it now, he was saying he ran along thinking there was an emergency patient.

“So you followed me running?”

“Isn’t that it? You should have said something then. I ran for nothing.”

Kang Hyeok looked at Seong-ho, who was still panting, and couldn’t help but make a comment.

“Get some exercise. You’re about to pass out from running just that little bit.”

Kang Hyeok left Seong-ho glaring at him behind and started running toward the convenience store.

Just a few days ago when his grandfather called, he had let it go in one ear and out the other, but he couldn’t believe it was really pregnancy.

Da-som had been sleeping a lot more since they returned from their honeymoon.

But he thought it was accumulated fatigue, though it seemed like they might have gotten a honeymoon baby.

Unable to control his overflowing vigor, he had been so active.

Kang Hyeok felt endlessly sorry toward Da-som, but just the thought of having their child made his heart feel like it would burst.

The convenience store was right in front of him.

Kang Hyeok stopped running and caught his breath.

Just then, Da-som came out of the convenience store, recognized Kang Hyeok, and waved her hand.

Kang Hyeok felt tears welling up.

Without even thinking to hide his reddened eyes, Kang Hyeok ran over and hugged Da-som tightly.

“Da-som!”

“P-Professor!”

“I heard from Eun Hyeok.”

“Ah, Eun Hyeok already told you?”

“Yeah.”

Kang Hyeok cupped the face of Da-som, who was whispering shyly with a flushed face while held in his arms, with both hands.

He showered kisses on his wife, who was so lovely that the word “adorable” couldn’t fully express it.

What flowed down Kang Hyeok’s eyes was sweat, not tears.

It really was sweat.

Meanwhile, Da-som, who was dazed by Kang Hyeok’s storm of kisses, looked around after calming down somewhat.

Oh, what to do about this.

Everyone had stopped walking and was watching with expressions wondering what was going on.

Since it was none other than Professor Tae Kang-hyeok displaying such affection in front of the convenience store, it was definitely scoop material.

Han Byeol, standing some distance away, looked at the two with eyes that said “that’s enough.”

And Eun Hyeok, who had run over panting, glared at Kang Hyeok with eyes that said “I knew this would happen” and separated the two.

“Hyung, get a grip. Are you trying to make Da-som unable to show her face around here?”

The moment Eun Hyeok saw Kang Hyeok’s face, he froze.

“Are you crying? Hyung, are you crying right now?”

Da-som saw a wicked demon settle on Eun Hyeok’s face.

It was the look of someone who had discovered teasing material to use for a lifetime.

Da-som grabbed Kang Hyeok’s large hand and quickly left the spot.

Behind them, cheers and applause from people who had figured out what was happening continued.

Da-som smiled shyly and turned around to bow in greeting.

Kang Hyeok, who seemed as solid as Mount Tai and unshakeable even if half the earth disappeared, was crying.

Da-som also felt tears welling up, but she stubbornly held back her tears.

Kang Hyeok alone was enough teasing material.

***

Wearing a well-fitted suit, Kang Hyeok sat with Da-som in front of the obstetrics and gynecology waiting room, waiting for their turn like any other guardian.

They were waiting for a consultation with Director Han Eun-hee, who was both the hospital director and an obstetrician-gynecologist.

Passing interns and residents spotted Kang Hyeok and greeted him loudly.

“Good morning, Professor.”

Kang Hyeok nodded slightly and brought his index finger to his lips.

Only then did they notice Da-som sitting beside Kang Hyeok and quietly turned back.

Da-som, who had fallen asleep with her head resting on Kang Hyeok’s shoulder saying she was sleepy, was tightly holding Kang Hyeok’s hand.

To think that such a small and delicate Da-som was pregnant.

Even though he felt like he had become quite the scoundrel, a smile leaked out regardless.

He hadn’t told his family home yet, but Eun Hyeok might have spoken first.

Everyone would be waiting for Kang Hyeok’s call.

Perhaps his grandfather’s wish to see his great-grandson get married before passing away might come true.

It would be possible since he was in good health.

Kang Hyeok stroked the cheek of Da-som leaning against his shoulder and pressed his lips to her concave forehead.

Thinking about what Da-som would have to go through from now on, he couldn’t feel purely happy.

It seemed like morning sickness had already started, and if she felt persistent nausea or vomiting, hospital life would become difficult too.

There would be so many changes that would be difficult to enumerate, and thinking of Da-som who would have to endure all that made his heart ache.

Kang Hyeok ignored the glances of people stealing looks at him and waited for the consultation time to arrive.

Clatter clatter clatter clatter.

Loud footsteps echoed through the hospital hallway.

He could tell who it was without looking.

Eun Hyeok, who had approached right in front of them, stood with his hands shoved in his gown pockets, standing on one leg and looking down at Kang Hyeok.

“Mother wants to know what happened. The phone calls are pouring in.”

Kang Hyeok chuckled.

It seemed she couldn’t call her eldest son with his damn personality and was only pestering poor Eun Hyeok instead.

“And right now the group chat is going crazy. They’re saying hyung is filming a drama in front of OBGY.”

“What nonsense about a drama.”

“Want to see?”

“Let me look.”

When Kang Hyeok tried to snatch the phone, Eun Hyeok quickly hid his phone.

“You, don’t you dare tell anyone I cried.”

“I already told Mother.”

“Does Tae Bo-kyung know too?”

“Of course. I couldn’t keep such fun news to myself.”

“Get lost.”

“No way. I’m going to be an uncle now, so I should at least see my nephew’s face.”

At Eun Hyeok’s chattering, Da-som slowly lifted her head.
