“Niiiaaa!  You’re getting married today!  How do you feel?” Sua asked the moment Nia opened the front door to let her in.

“Nervous?” Nia laughed. “Hi, Jungkook,” she greeted the quiet man behind Sua.

“Hi there.”

“We’re leaving in about a half an hour, but Tae thought we should eat lunch first, so he’s in the kitchen cooking.”

“May I join him?” Jungkook asked with more excitement in his voice than Nia had ever heard.

“Sure!  The kitchen is right through the living room and on the left.”

Sua stretched out on the couch the moment they entered the living room.

“I’m already tired of being pregnant.  These three are making me so tired.  Honestly, I might have to quit in a month or so.”

“Yeah.  You probably should quit in a month or so.  We don’t need you overworking yourself in the slightest.”

“I already look five months pregnant,” Sua laughed.

“That’s not a problem, though.  Besides, aren’t you going to be pregnant for a shorter amount of time than you would be with just one?  That’s gotta be a plus side to having three at once.”

“Oh, yeah.  My doctor was talking about inducing me at thirty-six weeks if they’re not here by then.  I’m praying they get here before September anyways, so I don’t end up in labor on Jungkook’s birthday.”

“I mean if you do, you don’t have to get him a birthday present because there’s three already!”

Sua laughed. “No thanks.  I’d rather just have them before then.”

Moon dragged herself up to the cash register.  She really didn’t want to be shopping right now.  Today had been one of her off days, and she felt like screaming at anything and everything.  Today she couldn’t ignore how off everything felt.  The clothes she was wearing didn’t feel right, the number of items that she had in her hands didn’t feel right, and she was sure she’d probably left her oven on.  That didn’t make sense, though.  She’d never even used her oven.

She tapped her fingers on the counter as the clerk scanned her items.  Part of her wanted to go home and just crash into bed, but the other part of her wanted to call someone and go out to lunch.  Once she’d paid for her groceries, she left the store.  And walked smack into someone the moment she stepped outside.  Consequentially, she dropped her bag and the contents all spilled out.  There went her eggs.

“I am so sorry!  I was totally not paying attention to where I was going!” The man exclaimed.

Moon looked down as he bent down and put everything back into her bag.

“I doubt these eggs didn’t crack.  I’ll buy you a new carton.”

He stood up and held the bag out to her, and when she met his eye, she gasped.

“You’re Hobi.”

He laughed. “You’re Moon, right?  We meet again.”

She nodded, reaching out to take the bag from his hand.

“Are you all right?” He asked. “You seem a bit…off.”

“Yeah, today is an off day.  My meds aren’t really helping much today.”

“I see,” Hobi nodded, deciding not to question what medication she was taking. “Would you like to grab lunch?  You sound like you need someone to talk to.”

“Sure.  I need to take this home first,” she motioned to the bag in her hand.

“Oh, right!  I’ll go buy you another carton of eggs.  Wait here.”

He rushed inside the shop, and Moon sighed.  She looked up at the sky.  It looked like it would be a rainy day today.  She hadn’t brought an umbrella out, either.  Hopefully, it would wait until she got home.
