Following Byung-Ho's words, the entire area grew silent once more. This time, it appeared as if even nature had quieted down. The greenish blue waters of the river flowed without a sound, and even the birds seemed to find it unwise to bother the humans with their songs.
To everyone's surprise, it was Hyun who had managed to find his voice first.
"Jung-Hee… is it true? Y-youre… p-p-pregnant?" he could barely even bring himself to say the word.
His wife turned to look at him, a complicated expression settling on her face. In the end, she nodded.
"Yes, it's true. But…"
Jung-Hee paused, biting her lower lip in frustration. She glared at Byung-Ho from the corner of her eyes.
"I didn't want you to find out like this. I wanted to wait until we had reached a safe place and then tell you."
Hearing her words, Byung-Ho burst into a cold laughter.
