#Side Story Episode 13

“You can’t keep interfering with our work like this.”

This bastard. Just wait and see.

Kang Hyeok had no choice but to retreat obediently while grinding his teeth inwardly.

Tae Bo-kyung’s eyes were fiercely raised, grinding her teeth just as much.

But where was this place after all.

The Obstetrics and Gynecology territory.

No matter how successful an Emergency Medicine professor or General Surgery professor they were, this wasn’t their place to step forward.

Kang Hyeok went back and waited again.

After waiting for several minutes like that, he quickly ran to the delivery room when he heard someone calling him.

Ah, Da-som.

The moment he saw Da-som in the final stages of labor, Kang Hyeok’s legs gave out completely.

Da-som was exhausted with a pale, drained face, drenched in sweat.

“Push, mother! One more time!”

“Ugh!”

Da-som trembled as she put all her strength into it. Kang Hyeok clenched his fists at the sight he couldn’t bear to watch.

Da-som, hang in there.

I love you, Da-som. Just a little more, just a little more!

All he could think about was wanting to take all that pain upon himself.

Da-som, I’m sorry. Just a little more!

He desperately wished for this pain to end quickly.

Ssuk-ssuk, mommy is having a hard time. You hang in there just a little more too!

“Ahhh!”

“That’s it!”

Head Doctor performed an episiotomy. Soon Ssuk-ssuk’s head would come out.

“Push one more time!”

As Da-som pushed with all her might, the baby revealed itself.

The head came out first, then the shoulders and limbs slipped out smoothly.

“You’ll cut the umbilical cord yourself, right?”

Head Doctor looked at Kang Hyeok and asked.

Kang Hyeok nodded, put on gloves, and cut the umbilical cord.

After that, Head Doctor’s follow-up care continued, and Ssuk-ssuk cried vigorously.

Kang Hyeok approached Da-som, who was shedding tears.

He wiped the tears from her eyes and held her hand.

“You did great. You really did great, Da-som.”

His throat choked up and Kang Hyeok barely managed to squeeze out his voice.

How hard it must have been.

“…Kang Hyeok, sob. The baby is healthy, right?”

“Yes. Healthy.”

Seeing Da-som finally smile brightly, Kang Hyeok offered a prayer of gratitude to God.

Thank you, truly thank you.

Thank you for safely protecting my beloved wife and child.

“Professor, please go out and wait now.”

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Resident’s words didn’t even register in his ears.

Kang Hyeok, who had been gently stroking Da-som’s face with her lips all cracked, was forcibly dragged out of the delivery room by the Obstetrics and Gynecology Resident.

Shortly after, a baby wrapped in pure white cloth appeared outside the delivery room.

All the family members waiting outside cheered when they saw the baby.

Only then could Kang Hyeok smile.

Kang Hyeok smiled brightly at the baby, not even thinking to wipe away the tears that kept flowing down.

No matter how he looked, the baby seemed to be his spitting image, but it was still too early to tell.

Kang Hyeok, who had desperately hoped the baby would resemble his wife, sniffled and wiped away his tears.

Da-som, our Ssuk-ssuk is so beautiful.

“Tae Kang-hyeok, are you crying?”

Tae Bo-kyung looked at him teasingly.

“Hehe, he’s crying again. Ssuk-ssuk, your daddy is a crybaby.”

This time Eun Hyeok teased him.

These guys really!

Kang Hyeok decided to let it slide just for today.

***

Tae Jeong-min.

Grandfather, who had come up with Ssuk-ssuk’s name, wouldn’t let Jeong Min out of his arms.

“Jeong Min, how is our Jeong Min so handsome.”

“Grandfather, Jeong Min looks like me, right?”

When Da-som asked while bringing a bottle, Grandfather shook his head as if that was impossible.

She knew. Anyone could see Jeong Min was the spitting image of his father.

Da-som, whose wish had been to have a child who looked exactly like Kang Hyeok, had never been as excited as she was now.

“Our baby must not have seen this old man’s childhood photos yet. Anyone can see he looks exactly like me as a child.”

“Really? If he looks like Grandfather, he’ll be incredibly handsome when he grows up.”

When Da-som played along, Grandfather’s smile stretched from ear to ear.

“Of course, of course.”

“Oh come on, Grandfather. Anyone can see he looks like me. Do you know what people say when I carry Jeong Min out? They say I’m the baby’s father.”

Eun Hyeok took Jeong Min from beside him and rubbed his face against the chubby cheeks.

Eun Hyeok, who rarely came to the family home, now commuted here every day.

Da-som, who had taken a year off, was staying at her in-laws’ house for the time being at her parents-in-law’s suggestion.

She didn’t have confidence to raise Jeong Min alone, and thinking about going back to work after a year, it was better for Jeong Min too.

The newly remodeled in-laws’ house was the optimal environment for raising a child.

“Is Kang Hyeok late today?”

“No. It’s about time for him to arrive.”

“Right, you have to go to the hospital for vaccinations.”

“Yes.”

Eun Hyeok took the bottle from Da-som’s hands and started feeding him formula.

While watching that scene warmly, the front door opened and someone came in.

“Mom, I’m here. Grandfather, I’m here. Sister-in-law, I’m here.”

She ran to the bathroom, washed her hands, and Tae Bo-kyung approached Jeong Min.

“Oh my, oh my, is our Jeong Min eating his meal?”

“Oong.”

Jeong Min opened his eyes wide, then pushed the bottle away with his sausage-like arms and babbled something.

Then Bo-kyung made a fuss saying she was dying of happiness.

Jeong Min, who had passed his 100th day, sometimes laughed with a giggling sound.

And above all, he was incredibly strong.

“Why did you come here again!”

Goh Ah-reum came out to the living room and shouted at Bo-kyung.

“I came to see my nephew, why else would I come. Hehe.”

“Geez, because of you, sister, he couldn’t finish his formula. Get away.”

When Eun Hyeok put the bottle back in his mouth, Jeong Min started sucking away.

“Does our Jeong Min resemble his aunt, how can he be so pretty? My goodness, look at those fingers.”

She smiled gently watching Bo-kyung examine the tiny hands from every angle.

No matter what anyone said, Jeong Min was a mini Tae Kang-hyeok.

Da-som’s photo album was full of Jeong Min’s pictures.

Looking at Kang Hyeok’s childhood photos she received from her mother-in-law, they were exactly the same as Jeong Min’s current appearance.

The photo album was steadily filling up with pictures of Kang Hyeok and Jeong Min that she had taken with her photography skills.

Taking endless photos these days had become nothing short of the joy of her life.

“Look at this. How can even his toes be so small and cute?”

He was the spitting image of Kang Hyeok, right down to his toes.

Gaa-aah!

When Tae Bo-kyung kept talking to him from the side, Jeong Min pushed away his bottle completely, wanting to play together.

However, if there was a difference, unlike Kang Hyeok who had been stoic since childhood, Jeong Min was sociable and didn’t shy away from strangers.

He especially loved his aunt, Tae Bo-kyung.

They say even babies recognize beauty, so maybe that was why.

“Oh my, when our Jeong Min smiles, he looks exactly like his mother. No matter how I look at it, it’s amazing.”

As Tae Bo-kyung said, when he was still, he was the spitting image of his father, but when he smiled, Jeong Da-som’s face appeared.

His eyes that curved beautifully like crescents were especially similar.

“Well, of course he resembles his mother and father. Who else would he resemble?”

“Still, the Tae family genes should be pretty strong, you know.”

Everyone was all smiles looking at Jeong Min.

Jeong Da-som was so happy she wondered if it was okay to be this happy.

The shadow that had settled in one corner of her heart had been erased long ago.

All of this was the happiness that Kang Hyeok had given her.

Jeong Da-som smiled and looked at the clock.

It was almost time for Kang Hyeok to arrive.

They had promised that after finishing his night shift, he would come straight to the hospital.

Even when she said she could go alone, Kang Hyeok absolutely wouldn’t let her go by herself.

Wherever they went, they were always together.

During the last vaccination appointment, when the large-framed Kang Hyeok entered wearing a baby carrier with Jeong Min strapped to his front, it caused quite a commotion.

“Oh my, Jeong Min really looks exactly like his father.”

“Wow, how can he resemble him this much?”

“Step back a bit.”

Seeing Kang Hyeok speak solemnly while his lips twitched as if he didn’t dislike the attention, Jeong Da-som couldn’t help but laugh.

Getting up from her seat, Jeong Da-som went out to the entrance to greet her husband.

She waited for her husband while looking at the flowers that beautifully adorned the garden.

She heard the sound of a car entering the underground parking lot, and shortly after, her husband appeared following the path leading to the garden.

Jeong Da-som waved her hand toward Kang Hyeok.

“Da-som!”

“Yes, welcome home!”

Jeong Da-som ran toward her husband.

Kang Hyeok spread his arms wide and lifted Jeong Da-som into his embrace.

On that brilliant spring day, happy laughter overflowed throughout the garden.
