“Hey, Nia?” Sua asked.
“Yeah?” Nia looked up from her lunch.
“Are you going to be ok by yourself this afternoon?”
“Sua, I’ll be fine. Besides, Mr. Park is helping me out as well. It’s no big deal.”
“That’s good.”
“Are you nervous?”
“Not nervous exactly. Excited, definitely. I’ll finally get to find out their genders today!”
“What are you hoping for?”
“I’m not sure. It would be cool to have three girls. Or three boys. But really, I’ll take anything. We don’t plan on having more kids anyway, so it would be nice if there’s at least one girl and one boy.”
“That makes sense. Triplets are just fun.”
“It’s going to be a lot of work, though. I’m so glad you’ll be helping me. I don’t know what I’d do trying to raise them on my own.”
“Well, you do have Jungkook.”
“I do. But he can only take a few weeks off. And we’re definitely going to need the money. We’ve already started remodeling our extra bedroom. Get this – he wants to paint the walls red. I want to do them baby blue. It’s a much more pleasing color.”
Nia laughed. “Red walls sound like an eyesore.”
“Yeah, I told him he’s not allowed to touch the walls. He’s picking out the crib instead. I’ll be lucky if he doesn’t ask to paint it red.”
“If he does, call me. I’ll back you up.”
“Will do.”

Nia was going through yet another pile of paperwork that afternoon when Sua burst into her office.
“Ok, I want you to guess the genders before I tell you.”
Nia thought about it for a second. “Um…two boys and a girl.”
“Mmm, close. It’s two girls and a boy!”
“The boys are outnumbered now!” Nia laughed.
Sua laughed as well. “Jungkook will be happy he’s getting his boy.”
“I’m sure he will be. You know, we should go look at baby clothes later this week.”
“Oh, yes! I love shopping for baby clothes!”
“How about we go tomorrow after work?”
“Sounds good! Now I need to go finish some paperwork…I doubt Ms. Oh finished it all.”

“You guys won’t believe what happened last weekend,” Hyuna groaned as they sat down at lunch.
“What was it?”
“Jin showed up at my work! And he couldn’t leave either because it was raining so hard.”
Moon took a long sip of her drink to hide her smile.
“What? What happened?” Sua asked.
“He came to apologize. We didn’t really talk for long though because I flipped out on him…”
“Did he tell you why he broke up with you?” Nia asked.
Hyuna nodded. “Apparently he got a job offer down in Busan and his grandma who lived there wasn’t doing so great, so he just dropped everything and moved down there after college.”
“You couldn’t have just done long-distance?” Sua asked.
“He said he couldn’t handle it.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Well, you could forgive him,” Moon suggested. “I mean, it’s been what, nine years? He clearly regrets what he did. Can’t you give him another chance?”
Hyuna bit her lip. “I suppose…it’s just…he just left me like that, you know? It’s hard to forgive him, I guess.”
“Everyone makes mistakes, though. Don’t worry, if he breaks your heart again, he’ll be hearing from me.”
Hyuna laughed. “Ok, ok. How do I get ahold of him, though? I don’t have his number.”
“I’ve got his number. We exchanged them at the shoot.”
So how’s married life Nia?
