" Thanks, babe. I'm sorry I had to keep you from leaving my ass today."
I wave my freshly patched wrist at her glowing face. Her mother instincts are kicking in so beautifully, it's a miracle I don't go overboard with cooing at it( so unlike me).
" You foul mouthed, scrub! Stop saying sweet things or I won't be able to take my leave at all." she hits my arm with the force of flowing feathers." You better watch this fine ass until I come back, got it?! No more foolish engaging with untamed beings. You are too soft for your own good, Woohyun ah." she turns serious, eyes gleaming with hormonal induced tears.
" Oh, baby, this must be the most heartfelt confession in our entire history." I bite my lips from bursting into loud giggles. " You know I'll miss you the most when you're at this lioness behaviour." I lean in and hug her sideways. Her baby bump wouldn't leave room for an upfront approach, anyways.
" Well, this lioness needs her rest; my feet are unable to keep up with your ungodly working hours. I better hit the road before you bring in some other hurt pet that I won't stop crying over. I've had it with your charity, mister. Just give yourself a chance to, I don't know , shag or something; since sleep isn't your favourite spare time spending."
" Aww....you do care." I feign emotion over her recently developed caring skills. " I'll send you a picture of my naked ass, in case I get some while you're busy parenting."
" Eww. Please don't bring back the gag; six months is enough to last me a lifetime." she fakes it dramatically.
Her pregnancy wasn't as wonderful as the tales make it sound like. We've had to literally wipe puke from at least 20 rescue animals when she was on call. Poor things.
" Ok, grumpy.Time for your perky boobs to take their leave. Ah, it's gonna be a strain to work without those poking me." I added, to take her mind off the nasty reflex.
" This is why you can't work with people, you're only gonna kill them with that mouth." she glares at me cutely.
" Hopefully so. Though I'm out of practice these days."
Her maternity leave will cost me great conversational topics. Jang Min Hee, my one and only curve into bisexuality realm.
" Seriously, Nam. There's gotta be more than meets the eye, deep inside there, somewhere." she says, pointing at my chest.
" Unless I'm growing man boobs, no. This is pretty much it." I veer from the formal topic like devils from holy water.
" I'll be waiting for ya, boobless hunk. My baby shower needs that spice. Please don't let me be tangled with all those mama-geese!" she takes strong hold of both my wrists, totally oblivious to the pain she inflicts in the very one she just tended to.
I don't even flinch, because she's just so important that I can't give her anymore hard time than her unborn baby. Instead, I smile and reassure her, I'll be one call away from avoiding disaster.
" Yes, your highness. I'll put on my best gigolo act. Now, go. My competitor is probably restless out there." I sign with my head to the awaiting car.
" If only he didn't get me knocked up. We could've had such a nice story." she sing-songs, love oozing out of her every pore when looking at the approaching guy.
" You listen to your doctor's advice, ok?" I turn serious. " I expect to be welcomed by the happiest soon-to be mom at that party or I'm not coming at all."
" If I did that, you wouldn't have had the pleasure to feel my poking boobs for the last few months. I had to persuade him to let me work out my hormonal circus around here, or else I'd've gone mad. And taken him with me to delulu compound." she winks as if her last six prego months were a gift to me.
