Dara held Minzy as they got off the bus. "It's fine, I'm only 5 months in, you don't need to be so careful." Minzy said. "Look at how big your stomach is." If Dara hadn't known Minzy would have a daughter, Dara would have long suspected that she carried twins.

"The child is a little big!"

"I heard that big children are often greedy, don't think Bom doesn't tell me what you've been doing. She says that when she's asleep you'd sneak downstairs and eat." Dara said, "The last time we went to a checkup didn't the doctor say that the child is becoming too big to be safely born, you have to control yourself ah."

"It's fine, no big deal." Minzy was indifferent.

"Didn't the doctor say that natural childbirth is the best when it comes to the child's health?" If Bom was here she would definitely agree with Dara, saying that cesarean section would leave scars. "Then...I'll eat less in the future!" Minzy hesitantly said.

They continued their conversation as they entered the elevator and rode up to the 5th floor of the shopping mall – to the baby goods store. They strolled around as Minzy commented, "Why are things so expensive for children?"

"Children really are more expensive!" Even Dara was a little surprised at how high the prices were. "Then I'd better but less!" Minzy hesitated, then said, "Let's buy baby bottles first." Minzy chose a relatively expensive baby bottle and took out an item from their shopping cart to replace it with. Dara put the item back and scolded, "You've been putting things in and taking things out all day."

"But everything's so expensive. When the baby's born there will be even more things to buy." Minzy explained.

"These can be my presents to the baby." After saying this, Dara took over the cart and pushed it towards the counter to pay. "How can I let you do that?" Minzy directly refused.

"You're still saying this when Bom already gifted you so much baby milk powder." Dara lifted a hand to stop Minzy's refusal and said, "I thought we agreed to raise the child together, all 3 of us."

"But..."

"Learning to accept help from your friends is a testament to how close you are to the other, ah." After that, Minzy no longer insisted. At the checkout counter, Minzy kept glancing at the elephant-shaped bottle in Dara's hands, and couldn't help but say with amusement: "If you like children so much, just wait for Jiyong to get back and and attack him, ah."

"Maybe." Dara replied.

"What? Does Jiyong not want children?" Minzy was surprised.

"It's not that. We've been sleeping in separate rooms, let alone having children, that's too far of a goal." Dara said as she shrugged her shoulders.

"True, Jiyong had to go to America soon after your marriage. Speaking of which, is he coming back soon?" Minzy remembered Seungri saying that Jiyong would be back around Christmastime.

"He should be back next week, but the exact day hasn't been decided yet."

As they spoke, they passed by a men's store. Dara glanced at the windows, hesitating.

"You want to buy a present for Jiyong?" Minzy guessed.

"Un." Dara admitted.

"Then let's go in!" Minzy said, "Jiyong sent you a bunch of things last time, you should also give him something."

After thinking about it, Dara felt that Minzy was right, so they entered.

Minzy sat on a chair to rest while Dara walked around the store, pondering. After a while, she finally picked out 2 men's wallets.
