A week later, the long-awaited photos from the shoot arrived. Y/N was the first to notice the email notification on her phone. She eagerly opened it and gasped at the beautifully captured moments of their family.
"Yoongi, come look at this!" she called out, unable to contain her excitement.
Yoongi, who was in the middle of playing with Hae-Won, quickly joined Y/N at the kitchen table. He leaned over her shoulder, peering at the laptop screen as she clicked through the images.
The photos were stunning. Each one perfectly captured the love and warmth of their family. There were shots of them laughing together, Hae-Won's eyes sparkling with joy, and tender moments with Y/N cradling her baby bump while Yoongi stood protectively beside her. The baby belly shots were especially touching, with Hae-Won's small hands resting gently on Y/N's belly.
"These are amazing," Yoongi said softly, a smile spreading across his face. "The photographer really did a fantastic job."
Y/N nodded, her eyes misting up with happy tears. "I'm so glad we did this. These will be wonderful memories for us and for Hae-Won when she's older."
Hae-Won, curious about what had captured her parents' attention, climbed onto Yoongi's lap and looked at the screen. "Is that me?" she asked, pointing at a picture of herself twirling in her dress.
"Yes, it is, sweetheart," Y/N replied, brushing a strand of hair from Hae-Won's face. "You look like a princess."
Hae-Won giggled, pleased with the compliment. "I love it! Can we print them out and put them on the wall?"
"Of course we can," Yoongi said, kissing the top of her head. "We'll make a special photo album too."
They spent the rest of the afternoon selecting their favorite photos and discussing how they wanted to display them. Yoongi suggested creating a collage for the living room wall, while Y/N thought a photo book would be a lovely keepsake. In the end, they decided to do both.
The next day, Yoongi and Y/N printed out the photos and bought frames for the ones they wanted to hang up. They worked together to arrange them on the living room wall, creating a beautiful display of their family's journey. Hae-Won helped as much as she could, handing them photos and offering her opinions on where each one should go.
When they were done, they stood back and admired their handiwork. The wall was a testament to their love and the precious moments they had shared. It featured a mix of candid shots, the baby belly photos, and a few individual portraits of Hae-Won that captured her playful spirit.
"That looks amazing," Y/N said, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "I love it."
"Me too," Yoongi agreed, wrapping an arm around her. "These photos will always remind us of these happy times."
In the evening, after putting Hae-Won to bed, Yoongi and Y/N settled on the couch with a cup of tea. They flipped through the photo book they had created, reminiscing about each moment captured in the pictures.
"We're really blessed, aren't we?" Y/N said, leaning her head on Yoongi's shoulder.
"We are," Yoongi replied, kissing her forehead. "I wouldn't trade this life for anything."
As they sat there, surrounded by the photos of their beautiful family, they felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. They knew that no matter what challenges came their way, they would face them together, with love and unwavering support.
As the days turned into weeks, the Min family continued to enjoy their time together while preparing for the arrival of their new baby. Y/N's belly grew rounder, and Hae-Won's excitement about becoming a big sister grew with each passing day.
One evening, after dinner, Yoongi suggested they start getting the nursery ready. "We should start setting up the nursery," he said, looking at Y/N. "What do you think?"
"Yes, that sounds like a great idea," Y/N agreed. "I've been thinking about colors and themes."
They spent the next few days painting the nursery and setting up the furniture. Hae-Won was eager to help, and they let her paint a small section of the wall, which she did with great enthusiasm. They chose soft, calming colors and decorated the room with whimsical animal decals.
"Do you think the baby will like it?" Hae-Won asked one day, standing in the middle of the room and looking around with satisfaction.
"I'm sure the baby will love it," Y/N said, smiling. "You did a wonderful job helping us, Hae-Won."
The nursery slowly came together, becoming a cozy and inviting space for the new addition to their family. They placed a comfortable rocking chair in the corner, a crib by the window, and filled the shelves with books and toys. Yoongi hung up a mobile over the crib, its gentle melody filling the room.
One night, as they were finishing up the last touches, Yoongi took a moment to appreciate everything they had accomplished. "It's perfect," he said, looking around the room. "Our baby is going to be so loved."
Y/N nodded, tears of joy welling up in her eyes. "Yes, we're ready to welcome our little one."
With the nursery complete, they turned their attention to the practical preparations. They attended birthing classes together, read books, and made sure they had everything they needed for the baby's arrival.
One Saturday afternoon, they decided to take a break from their preparations and enjoy a family outing. They went to the park, where Hae-Won played on the swings and Yoongi and Y/N sat on a bench, enjoying the sunshine.
As they watched Hae-Won play, Yoongi took Y/N's hand. "We're going to be just fine," he said, his voice filled with confidence and love.
"I know we will be," Y/N replied, squeezing his hand. "We have each other, and that's all we need."
The anticipation of the new baby brought them even closer together. They cherished these moments of calm and joy, knowing that their lives were about to change in the most wonderful way.
As the weeks flew by, the Min family continued to thrive, their hearts full of love and excitement for the future. They knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, as a strong and united family.
