"OMMA! APPA! PRECIOUS!"
The So children screamed for Appa and Omma. They were in the nursery. Appa and Omma were in the living room entertaining two guests of Appa.
But Appa and Omma did not hear them.
"OMMA! APPA! PRECIOUS!"
Dae-Jung and Dae-Hwan cried as they barged into the living room, startling everybody in there. All four adults abruptly stood up.
"PRECIOUS?" "WHAT ABOUT PRECIOUS?" Asked the parents simultaneously.
Dae-Jung and Dae-Hwan each pulled Appa and Omma's hand. They had to be quick. Time was precious, especially at this moment. The guests were equally shocked.
"Precious is sick. Precious' face turns red, Omma, Appa, and Precious' fingernails are turning blue!" cried Dae-Jung.
"MY BABY!" cried Ga Eul and sprinted out of the room, making Dae-Jung and Dae-Hwan ran faster to catch up with her.
Yi Jeong turned to his guests. "Please, excuse us. I'm sorry. I…"
"We understand Mr. So. Do you need any help?" asked one of them.
"No. No, thank you. I'll be back soon."
The guests nodded and watched their host dashed out of the room.
"PRECIOUS!"
Baby Jae Ji was in Dae-Hyun's arms, while little Jae Eun was on Jae Hwa's lap, facing them. Jae Hwa was crying.
Ga Eul immediately took baby Jae Ji from her first born. The baby was breathing fast. Her stomach moved in and out deeply and rapidly but her cries were becoming softer and shorter.
"Omma... We don't know why Precious is like this. Precious was OK one minute and suddenly Precious choked and started to cry. We tried to give Precious milk but Precious kept crying. Then Precious started to breathe faster and faster, and… and then Precious' turned red, Omma." The tears that he had kept since earlier now rolled down.
"We don't know what to do, Omma," he further said.
"Honey! We need to go to the hospital. NOW!" cried Ga Eul.
Yi Jeong staggered backward when he saw their youngest baby but a second later, "Come on! I'll get the car. Dae-Hyun, take care of your brothers and sisters. If you need anything, inform Harabeoji. Quick, Jagiya."
"Apppaaaa. Appaaaa. Ommmaaa. Ommaaa. Eunnie. Eunnie. Apppaa." Little Jae Eun wanted her Appa.
Yi Jeong went to kiss little Jae Eun's cheek. "Appa am sorry, Eunnie. Eunnie need to stay with Unnie and Oppas."
He then turned around and hurried out of the room. All the children followed their parents to the car, with little Jae Eun crying and calling out for Appa and Omma. The two guests came out too, shocked at the sight of the baby. Ahjussi Kim had also arrived after he heard the shouts and cries.
"I'm sorry. We have to go. Can we continue our discussion later? I'll get my assistant to set up another date."
"That's alright, Mr. So. We'll let ourselves out."
"Ahjussi, please look after the children."
"Yes, Sir."
… and the car sped off to the hospital.
"Please, baby. Please, Precious. Please don't do this to Omma. What's happening to you? Please, hang in there, baby. Please. Please. Precious please."
Ga Eul was crying hard by now. She did not know what to do. The 7-month-old baby Jae Ji was still breathing fast. Her small thin lips were turning paler and paler. Ga Eul massaged the baby's chest to help ease her breathing.
Ga Eul did not want to think about it but a flash of her miscarriage episode came to vision, scaring her to the bones. She did not want to lose another child. She could not imagine how her life would be if that happen again. The pain, the agony was too much for her to take. Quickly, Ga Eul shook the thought away.
"Please, please, Precious baby. Please, fight it." Ga Eul cried louder.
"Jagiya, how's Precious doing?"
Once in a while, Yi Jeong turned his head to look at the baby. He was driving very, very fast. The sight of his wife crying broke his heart and watching his baby struggled to breathe crushed it even more.
"There's no change, Honey. What's happening to Precious, Honey? I'm scared."
"I don't know either, Jagiya."
It was the first time that baby Jae Ji was like this.
"Is it an asthma attack?" asked the husband.
"What?"
"An asthma attack?"
"I don't know, Honey."
Both Yi Jeong and Ga Eul tried hard to recall if any of their family members was asthmatic. Ga Eul's late Harabeoji had high blood pressure as well as Yi Jeong's Halmoni on his mother's side. But asthmatic? They could not think of any.
"Honey, hurry."
Yi Jeong squeezed his wife's shoulder a little.
"Precious is going to be alright, Jagiya. She's going to be alright."
The car screeched to a halt in front of the hospital emergency entrance. Yi Jeong immediately got out of the car and opened the door for Ga Eul. A staff nurse ran to the car.
"She's having difficulty in breathing," Ga Eul informed the nurse before the nurse could ask. The nurse then took the baby from the mother and ran inside.
"I'll go park the car first."
"Hurry, Honey."
"I will. Now go with her."
Ga Eul caught up with the nurse to a room. However, she was held out. She begged to go inside and be with her baby but the staff told her to wait. She had no choice but to follow. She was getting out her mind thinking about baby Jae Ji.
"God, please save my baby."
Fortunately, she was still able to see the whole thing from the outside for there was a small glass panel on the door. She could see a doctor and two nurses tending the little girl. However, not long after, she could not see anything since the two nurses blocked her way.
"Move aside. Move aside. I want to see Precious. Please," hoping that the nurses would hear her.
"Jagiya. How is Precious?"
Ga Eul turned to look at her husband. He was panting hard. He must have run from the car. Ga Eul immediately hugged Yi Jeong. Her tears flowed down faster, dampening his shirt.
The husband and wife could only pray that the doctor and nurses would save their daughter.
"Ji Hoo, where are you? I'm at the hospital. It's Precious. She's in the emergency room."
"I just got home. My shift's over," replied the doctor. "I'll be there."
"No, that's alright. You must be tired. I… I thought you were still here. I'll let you know how it goes. Please pray for Precious, Ji Hoo."
"Hey, don't worry. Precious will be alright. I'll be at the hospital in half an hour. Jan Di's there. Her shift just started. I'll tell her about Precious. I'll call Jun Pyo and Woo Bin too if you want."
"Thanks, Ji Hoo but Jun Pyo and Woo Bin are out of town. I don't want to disturb them."
"OK. Just stay calm alright? Precious will be OK. Send Ga Eul my love. You have to be strong for your wife. You have to be strong too."
"OK, Ji Hoo. Thanks. I'll see you later."
Ten minutes later, Jan Di came running.
"Ga Eul. Yi Jeong Sunbae."
Ga Eul looked up and saw her best friend. Immediately, she broke away from her husband and hugged Jan Di. "Jan Di. Precious. It's Precious."
Jan Di ran her hand up and down Ga Eul's back. "Ji Hoo Sunbae told me. I'm sorry. She'll be alright. She'll be alright."
"Precious is in there for nearly half an hour now. What's going to happen to her, Jan Di?" asked Yi Jeong.
"She'll be fine. The doctors here are the best, Yi Jeong Sunbae. Please trust them."
Right then, the door opened and the doctor came out. The three of them quickly approached her.
"Doctor, how's my baby? Where is she? I want to see her. Please, Doctor."
"Ga Eul…"
"Jagiya…"
"Mrs. So, Mr. So, Dr. Geum, the baby's alright now. She's sleeping. We'll bring her out after this. We gave her nebulizer. It was an asthma attack. Her airway had swollen. She's very fortunate that you brought her in quick."
"What?" All three were shocked.
"Was this her first time? Does she have any allergy, eczema?"
"What? Yes. The first time. No. she doesn't have any allergy. But how?" Ga Eul and Yi Jeong did not understand.
"Any history of asthma in the family?"
"No." Both husband and wife answered in unison.
"What was she doing before the attack?"
"We don't know. She was with her brothers and sisters in the nursery."
The doctor nodded.
"Doctor Ki," called Jan Di.
"There's no other complication, right?"
"No, Dr. Geum. But if Mr. and Mrs. So agree, we can do a thorough check-up on the baby. Just to rule out any other complications."
Ga Eul and Yi Jeong exchanged looks, then turned to the two doctors.
"What other complications, Jan Di?" asked Yi Jeong. He was curious and his heart did not feel good upon hearing it, and so did Ga Eul.
"Yi Jeong Sunbae, Ga Eul, we can do other tests to see if Precious has allergy or a heart problem…"
"No. No. No. No. Not my baby," cried Ga Eul.
"Ga Eul," Yi Jeong hugged her tightly.
"No, Ga Eul. I'm not saying that Precious has a heart problem. God help us, no. But these tests will tell if this is just asthma and not something critical. I… I'm sorry. I'm not saying that the asthma attack is not critical, but at least we can determine the severity of it, and take the correct preventive measures. To confirm the diagnose."
Ga Eul looked up to Yi Jeong, and he nodded. He wanted to know the real cause of their youngest daughter's problem.
"OK, Jan Di."
"OK. We'll schedule a date then," said Doctor Ki.
"Doctor, can we take her home today?" asked Ga Eul.
"Yes, if you want to."
The couple's face glowed in relief.
"I'll get the prescription ready. The nurse will explain what to do if the attack comes back."
"Thank you, Doctor." All three said simultaneously.
"Hey, Yi Jeong."
It was Ji Hoo. He had just arrived. He was still in his outfit from the earlier shift.
"Ji Hoo." "Ji Hoo Sunbae."
"Doctor Ki," greeted the doctor.
"Doctor Yoon."
"How's the baby? What is it?"
"The baby's alright now. It was an asthma attack."
"Thank God. Thank you, Doctor Ki. But an asthma attack?" It puzzled his mind since Ga Eul and Yi Jeong were clean-freaks.
"We're going to do further tests on Precious," said Yi Jeong.
"I was about to suggest the same."
"Ji Hoo, sorry that you have to come back to the hospital. Precious is OK now." Yi Jeong felt guilty for disturbing his best friend's rest.
"Don't worry, Yi Jeong. I'm sure you'd do the same if it was me." The doctor patted the potter's shoulder.
"Doctor, can we go in?" Ga Eul wanted to see her daughter very badly.
The doctor turned a little to check the room.
"OK."
"Thank you, Doctor." Ga Eul bowed to the Doctor and pulled Yi Jeong's hand, and hurried into the room.
"Thank you, Doctor Ki." Jan Di and Ji Hoo bowed too.
Once inside, Ga Eul's tears ran down once more. Her heart ached to see the sleeping child. She was smaller when compared to Jae Hwa and Jae Eun when the two were at this age. Could it be due to that dark episode of her life? Ga Eul gently caressed her soft pale baby cheek and kissed her forehead.
"Baby… Precious. Omma love Precious. Please don't do this to Omma again."
Yi Jeong had his arm on her back and wiped away some fallen tears.
"Yi Jeong, Ga Eul, if it really is asthma, all of you need to know how to treat her if she gets it again. You will also have to teach Dae-Hyun and Darling. At least know the symptoms and the early treatment."
Ga Eul and Yi Jeong looked at Ji Hoo. Their two elder children had already too many a time taken care of their young siblings since Ga Eul was pregnant with Jae Ji and her deceased twin Dae-Ho. And now, to add another job description with such huge responsibility seemed too unfair for them. Although Ga Eul and Yi Jeong wanted the children to learn about responsibilities, the children were, in fact, still young teenagers who should also be enjoying their young lives.
But Ji Hoo was also right. There might be times, like earlier, when both Ga Eul and Yi Jeong are not with the baby. What if the attack comes during those times? Would there be enough time for the baby to hold on until they arrive?
Ga Eul and Yi Jeong finally nodded in agreement.
"But, it's said that around 50% of children with asthma will outgrow it once they reach or pass through adolescence," added Jan Di.
"That's great to hear, Jan Di. Thank you," said Yi Jeong.
"Ga Eul, Yi Jeong Sunbae, Ji Hoo Sunbae, I've to go for my rounds. I'll call after work, alright, Ga Eul?" Jan Di then hugged Ga Eul and caressed the little baby's hand. "Take care, Precious. Aunt Jan Di love you."
"Thanks, Jan Di," said the Sos.
"Jan Di, check your email. There's a conference next year. I think you should go." Ji Hoo informed just before the former stepped out of the room.
"OK. Thank you, Ji Hoo Sunbae."
Ji Hoo then shared more information about asthma; the causes, symptoms, medications, home remedies, etc. He also explained about other possible complications that can cause short breathings in infants and toddlers.
The two Sos listened attentively, storing the information in mind. It was hard for Ga Eul, but she asked if the attack was somehow related to her miscarriage incident. Ji Hoo paused for a few seconds, understanding the mother's pain and guilt behind the question. He did not want Ga Eul to blame herself for the baby's condition. In the end, he shook his head. "I don't know. I'm not aware of a study on that." Ga Eul weakly nodded as Yi Jeong gently rubbed her shoulder to remind and assure her that he did not blame her for what had happened.
The room went silent. All of them prayed hard that this was only a one-time occurrence.
Unfortunately, it was not. It was confirmed. Baby Jae Ji had asthma. Ga Eul and Yi Jeong learned how to recognize the signs and how to treat it when it happens. They memorized her asthma care plan to heart. They also taught Ahjussi Kim as well as Dae-Hyun and Jae Hwa. As time went by, Dae-Jung and Dae-Hwan learned them too.
Jae Ji's asthma attacks were twice a month, on average. The So learned that the triggers to her attacks were a few: dustmite, fur, extreme change in temperature, over-playing, and pollens. However, there were many a time that the attacks occurred out of the blue that even her doctor could not figure out what and why. Her case was referred to a specialist at the hospital.
Fortunately, she was not sensitive to food, much to the relief of the So family. Just like her Omma and two Unnies, she loved food.
The So family took extra precautions to avoid the attacks. But there were many times when she had to be rushed to the emergency ward for the attacks were severe. A few times, they happened when Ga Eul and Yi Jeong were away. A few times, they occurred at kindergarten. In the end, Yi Jeong and Ga Eul decided that Jae Ji was to be home-schooled so that they could monitor her closely and react immediately should the attack occur.
Jae Ji was a playful active girl. She loved to play with her Jae Eun Unnie, Dae-Jung Oppa, and Dae-Hwan Oppa. The So children did their best not to play rough with her or engage in strenuous exercise or plays. But a child being a child, Jae Ji oftentimes got carried away with the excitement and became exhausted that the attacks came in an instant. Ga Eul and Yi Jeong had to remind her to have the inhaler ready with her at all times.
"Omma," the five-year-old Jae Ji called as Omma was tucking her in bed.
"Yes, Precious."
"Precious am tired."
"Precious?" In an instant, Ga Eul's heart thumped faster. Was it another attack?
"Relax. Try to breathe slowly. Focus on your breathing, Precious. Please. Where's your inhaler?"
"Omma, it's not that." She looked at Omma with sad eyes.
"What is it, Precious?"
"How long am Precious going to be like this, Omma?"
"Precious?"
"Asthma. Precious am tired. Precious don't want to go to the hospital again." It was only two days ago that she got an attack. Tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes.
"Oh, Precious." Ga Eul had to hold her tears. It broke her heart that her young child had to go through all this suffering. She wished that she could trade places with the girl. She pulled her daughter into a tight embrace.
Jae Eun who was watching from her bed got out of bed and went to hug Omma and her little sister. She was already crying.
"Omma don't know, Precious. Omma am sorry. But let's pray together that this will all go away soon. Do Precious remember what the doctor said? Precious must be careful and follow the plan diligently, OK?"
Jae Ji weakly nodded as Ga Eul wiped away the tears on her pretty face.
"Precious, Unnie is here to help Precious. We can do this together. Fighting!" said Jae Eun while doing the 'fighting' sign. Jae Ji's lips curved upright and did the same. "Fighting!"
"Don't worry, OK? Omma, Appa, Dae-Hyun Oppa, Darling Unnie, Dae-Jung Oppa, Hwannie Oppa, Eunnie Unnie and Harabeoji are all here with Precious. We'll take care of Precious, OK?"
Jae Ji smiled and hugged Omma again.
"Thank you, Omma. Precious love Omma and everyone."
"Omma love Precious too. All of us do. Now go to sleep and rest, alright?"
"Yes, Omma."
Ga Eul tucked her youngest daughter again and kissed her forehead and cheeks. She then went to do the same to Jae Eun.
"Omma love you, Sweetheart."
"Eunnie love Omma too."
Ga Eul then switched off the lights but left the night light on. Before she exited the room, she bid the girls goodnight and wished them sweet dreams.
She wiped the fallen tears after closing the door.
"Jagiya?"
"Oh, Honey. You surprised me." Ga Eul had a palm over her heart.
Yi Jeong just came out of Dae-Hwan's bedroom. He quickly approached his wife and held her arms. "Hey, what's wrong?"
Ga Eul pressed a finger to her lips and glanced over to the door. She then pulled her husband to their bedroom.
Once inside, they sat on the sofa.
"Jagiya, what's wrong? Why were you crying? Are the girls OK? Precious? Eunnie?"
Ga Eul nodded. "What about the boys?"
"Dae-Hyun is still doing his assignment, Dae-Jung just finished his and Hwannie is finishing a scrapbook. But they are fine."
Ga Eul nodded. Happy that her boys were fine and healthy.
"Oh, Honey. I need to talk to Hwannie about his scrapbooks. They're piling up in his room and the activity room. Honey, why don't we hold a little showcase for him? From his first scrapbook to this one? He can also put up all those medals and cups that he won."
"That's a great idea, Jagiya. Do you think Hwannie is up to auctioning his scrapbooks? And do we want our family photos to be up for auctions too?"
"No, Honey. Not the family scrapbooks. The other ones. Why don't you ask Hwannie tomorrow?"
"OK. But you still haven't answered my question earlier. Why were you crying?"
Ga Eul's expression turned somber. She then surprised him by wrapping her hands around his waist and buried her face into his chest. Yi Jeong then felt her body shook as she cried.
"Jagiya? What's wrong?"
"Precious. Precious…"
"Is Precious sick again?" Ga Eul could feel his heart beating faster.
"No."
"So why…"
"Precious said she was tired from all the hospital trips. Precious asked how long her condition is going to be…"
Yi Jeong felt like a dagger was stabbed to his heart. He tightened his arms around his wife.
"What… what did you say?"
Her sobs became louder. "I said I don't know. Honey, I'm such a bad mother. I can't take away my child's pain."
"Shhh. Shhh. Shhh. You're not a bad mother, Jagiya. Don't you dare say that. You're doing everything to help her. You're the best mother in this whole world."
"But I can only offer her prayers and wishes so that all this will end soon. So that she's healthy like the others."
"Oh, Jagiya. You're doing more than just those and even if prayers and wishes are all that you can give Precious, they are the best and powerful things that a mother can give to her child."
Yi Jeong let his wife cry her heart out. Ga Eul was the most worried when Jae Ji had her attack episodes. She would stay with her daughter and never leave her. She would nurse the child with care and love.
When her cry subsided, Yi Jeong leaned back a little and looked at his wife. Her eyes were puffy and her nose, red. He wiped away the tears with his thumbs.
"Jagiya. You're the best mother and wife. Thank you, and know this. I will always be here with you. We'll do this together. We'll give Precious the best care, love, and life. All of us. I love you, Jagiya."
… and he leaned down to capture her lips.
The So family were at the Song's Mansion. In fact, the Gu family, as well as the Yoon family, were there too. It was their monthly dinner gathering.
It was a full moon and all of them had gathered in the Song's huge beautiful garden to soak in the moonlight and the comforting night breeze. The elder children; Dae-Hyun, Eun-Kyung, Jung-Hee, Jae-Hwa, Jung-Hwa, Dae-Jung and Dae-Hwan were at another table. Dae-Hyun and Eun-Kyung's wedding was two months away.
The young ones; Jae Eun, Won-Bin, Jee Ha, Jae Ji and Joo-Won were at one corner of the garden. Won-Bin wanted to show the others his personal patch of beds of assorted plants and flowers. The flowers were beginning to bud. The children were all excited as they touched the buds and listened to Won-Bin explaining the details of each plant and flowers.
Suddenly, Jae Ji who was next to Won-Bin held his arm and hunched. Her other hand automatically went to clutch her dress over her chest. Her breathing started to shorten and became shallower, and her nostrils flared.
"Won-Won… Unnie… Precious… can't… breathe…"
The children were shocked and Jae Eun immediately searched her sister's dress pockets. "Precious, your inhaler? Unnie can't find it. Where is it?" She was panicking.
"Inhaler… forgot… to… bring… Won-Won... help…"
The other children stood frozen but Won-Bin had helped Jae Ji to sit on the ground. His heart beat faster. This was not the first time that he witnessed Jae Ji's asthma attacks, but right at that moment, something snapped in him. He felt the need to protect her and keep her safe. A whisper in the heart told him that he wanted to be with her for a long, long time. He did not understand why, but the sight of her struggling for air was killing him. Her plead for him to help her crushed his heart.
"OMMAAAA! APPAAAA! PRECIOUS!" Jae Eun cried as she ran to the elders. "OMMAAA! APPAAA! Precious forgot her inhaler."
All the adults and the elder children abruptly stood up and ran toward the group of young children. Yi Jeong immediately took Jae Ji in his arms and supported her nearly limped body while Ga Eul pulled out an inhaler from her pocket and administered it to the girl.
Yi Jeong then carried his daughter into the house as everyone followed. Jae Kyung led them to the guest room on the ground floor. Yi Jeong carefully put Jae Ji on the bed and Ga Eul sat at the edge of the bed, beside Jae Ji, massaging the girl's chest.
Everybody looked on with worry. Jae Ji's asthma attacks were becoming more frequent.
Ten minutes later, Jae Ji's breathing went back to normal. Ga Eul could not hold her tears when she saw her daughter's sad and tired expression. Yi Jeong then gave her a slight squeeze on the shoulder.
"Hi, Precious. How are you?" asked Yi Jeong.
Jae Ji weakly nodded. "Precious am OK, Appa," and gave everybody a thin smile. "Everybody, please forgive Precious. Precious have worried everybody again." Streaks of tears came running down the side of her cheeks.
"No, Precious." "We're glad that you're OK."
"Precious, have some rest first, alright. We'll go back when Precious is ready." Ga Eul gently caressed her cheek.
"Alright Omma."
"We'll see you later OK?" said Yi Jeong. He then kissed his daughter's forehead.
… and everybody went out of the room except Ga Eul and Won-Bin.
"Won-Won?" Ga Eul was surprised.
"Aunt Ga Eul, can I stay here with Precious? Auntie look tired. Auntie should rest too."
"Auntie am not tired. Are you sure you want to wait here?"
Won-Bin nodded.
"OK. But if you need anything, Precious' inhaler is here." Ga Eul then showed Won-Bin how to use it.
After Ga Eul left, Won-Bin sat at the edge of the bed and looked at Jae Ji.
"Won-Won… Precious am sorry to worry you. Precious didn't expect it. Sorry."
Won-Bin took her right hand and sandwiched it in between his hands.
"Hey, please don't apologize. It's not like you asked for it."
Jae Ji nodded.
"Precious, if you need any help, I'm here for you."
"Yi Jeong Sunbae, Ga Eul, Precious is getting more and more of these attacks. I'm worried," said Jan Di.
"Yes, we noticed that too," added Jae Kyung.
"I… We don't know why," replied Ga Eul. Yi Jeong held her hands.
"The doctor is studying her condition," said Yi Jeong.
"Do you want to get a second opinion?" asked Ji Hoo.
"But Shinhwa Hospital has the best doctors and specialists," Jun Pyo protested.
"Jun Pyo, I'm not saying that the doctor is not competent. I'm just suggesting for a second opinion. There's no harm in that, right? I can refer Precious' case to a friend of mine at the Prince Medical Centre."
"Yes, Yi Jeong, Ga Eul, why not?" added Woo Bin. Jan Di and Jae Kyung nodded in agreement.
"Alright. Thank you, Ji Hoo."
The F3 families had gone home. Jae Kyung and Woo-Bin went to check up on their children. They entered Won-Bin's room and saw him at his table. He was in deep thoughts.
"Hey, Won-Won. Still up? What are you doing?" asked Woo Bin.
Won-Bin turned to face the parents. He alternately looked at them.
"Appa, Omma, I want to marry Precious."
