february 14,2023 - valentines day

yua was sadden when jaehyun told her he didn't want another birthday party but that didn't even matter when she kept pleading

"jaehyunnieee! you don't understand, taeyong and i don't even celebrate valentines together!"

"well that should change omma, sicheng can take his shift for today" he giggled at his mom

that was a few days before actual valentines day, with jaehyun's birthday not being planned yua and her siblings decided to meet up for lunch before going off to their wonderful partners at home

however yua was the last to arrive to their lunch spot

"you're late loser, you pay for lunch today" yuta said, yua rolled her eyes ""definitely, its not like you both live together" then yua clicked her tongue "shouldn't you be having sex with taerin or something?"

the drink yuta was sipping on went to the wrong tube which resulted him choking on cold liquid

"shouldn't i say the same about you?" but before a fight broke out naru stepped in "i'm sure we'll be celebrating today in our own ways but i'm surprised you didn't do jaehyun's birthday"

yua puffed her lips "i wanted too but he said no both taeyong and i pushed him but its okay i'll just buy him another present"

naru chuckled "maybe its because he wants you and his dad to spend time together but naiko is coming to korea too!"

yua and yuta squealed hearing the good news

naiko is their niece whom they spent lots of time with back in japan, she's the same age as jeno and very interactive

"does she like johnny?" naru nodded "they met over the phone, do you think its a bit fast?"

"i mean taeyong and i were basically dating when i watched his kids nothing is to fast"

yuta laughed "its okay naru! johnny is accepting of naiko right? i think he's the one"

"but did you know your little sister made out with your boyfriend?" yua eyes widen as she smacked yuta's arm then putting the younger twin into a chokehold

naru spat out her drink to separate the twins, "of course i knew! but damn didn't have to throw her under the bus like that"

the food came out one by one, the siblings were all eating in silence but something was clearly bothering yua as she just kept picking at her food

"whats on your mind yuyu?" yuta lightly tapped on her shoulder after realizing she was spacing out

"i don't want to turn down the mood today but i think i should tell taeyong that i can't conceive children, i think its time that i tell him that" yua bit her lip feeling nervous as that was the first time her ever telling anyone

yuta and naru paused their actions as their sister dropped a bomb on them

"when did you find out you were infertile if you don't mind me prying?"

yua sighed remembering when the doctors told her "my period was really long so i started to get worried, this was like two months ago? i haven't told anyone"

"yua, you take your time to tell him if you think its time then do it, no matter what i sure he'll support you in anyway. infertility is a hard thing to go through especially if you want to have a child of your own but you have amazing people by your side who'll do anything in their power to give you everything"

"you already went through hell and back as is, there's no other reason why you should suffer alone"

yuta's wise words shocked them but even then yua started to tear up from the very words

yua knew she had people to protect her and thats why, tonight she was going to tell taeyong.

a little after everything happened the three decided to split ways

"bye yua, if you need anything taerin and i will come in a heartbeat same with naru and johnny i love you sis!" yuta smiled kissing her on the head

"bye yua drive home safely!".

yua gave them a sweet smile then started heading back home, while going back she notice the sun starting to go down

poor taeyong must've been waiting long for her, she made it her mission to rush home but when she did she felt a little alarmed that her kids weren't home

"taeyong!, yong?" she shouted in the almost empty house she was almost put into a panic mode until taeyong came out of the bedroom with his damp hair

"hi love im right here! don't worry seonghwa and them took the kids for tonight so we're here alone" he smiled kissing her cheek

yua took a sigh of relief "i thought i'd faint for a second there" taeyong chuckles "never stop worrying don't you"

"i know your lunch couldn't have been that fun, come on i bought something for you downstairs in the basement!"

yua took taeyong's hand, he was dragging her down the stairs excited for her reaction to what he's been doing for her the entire month

once they reached their destination taeyong turned on the lights revealing a full art studio in their very basement

yua was breathless at the sight of the blank canvas and the walls that were filled with her childrens artwork that she'd kept from the very beginning

yua kissed taeyong on the lips "this is so amazing i love this", "i'm glad you do, if you didn't i be worried, but i couldn't help but notice you were a bit down when you came inside love"

thats when yua finally figured out she couldn't keep anything from taeyong, "there has been something bothering me lately, i just got the news last month"

taeyong brows knots he knew something bothered her all this time, the two were now sitting upstairs while yua collects her courage to finally tell taeyong

one breath, two breaths more. eyes closed mentally preparing herself for every outcome good or bad

then finally her mouth parts, "taeyong, i'm infertile"
