"Have you thought of names yet?" Eunae asked.

You fell silent at her question as you were still hesitant about the names you had in mind for the twins. Both of your favorite names were ones you chose with Hoseok and neither of you thought of a name past your two favorites.

"What about Taewon and Taehan for boy names?" You suggested.

Hoseok scrunched up his face and shook his head. "No, Taehyungie is going to think that we wanted our kid to have matching names with him and we will never hear the end of it. Jungkook and Jimin are also going to complain that it's not fair that the baby doesn't have a name that matches theirs.

You nodded your head in agreement, realizing that was a very likely scenario. "You're right. I don't want to hear any whining or boasting from any of them."

The two of you shared a laugh, unable to believe that you had to be mindful of three of your friends when naming your future kids. As much as you loved the maknaes, you had a feeling they wouldn't be too happy if the names of your children were similar to the names of the members.

"I like Aerum for a girl and Daeyoung for a boy." Hoseok offered. "But you want matching names, right?"

"Yeah, I would prefer them to have matching names but we can add them to our list anyways. It gives us more options when we do have to choose a name."

You weren't entirely sure why you and Hoseok were choosing baby names even though there wasn't a baby anywhere in the near future but the topic came up after Hoseok learned about the name of his makeup artist's new baby. You had a long list of baby names you picked out a few years before while Hoseok never considered any names so he decided to indulge in you and create a list; it was much more entertaining than he thought it would be.

"Oh, how about Jaehee for a girl? It's so cute." You gushed.

A smile spread across his face as he said the name for himself. "Jaehee? I like it. Jung Jaehee has a nice ring to it."

You smiled as well, giddy at the mere thought of your kids having Hoseok's last name. Although it was common for women to keep their maiden name after marriage, you planned on hyphenating your last name with Hoseok's.

"I came across Jaeyoung for a boy name a few minutes ago. Don't Jaehee and Jaeyoung go well together?" Hoseok turned his phone around to show you the name.

"Jung Jaehee and Jung Jaeyoung." You hummed. "I love it."

"I can't wait until we can settle down and start a family." Hoseok sighed. He nuzzled his face into the crook of your neck, picturing what his future with you would look like once his career slowed down. He knew nothing would be set in stone until after he enlisted in the military unless you were okay with getting married before then. Nevertheless, he was sure you were going to be the woman he married.

"Me too." You kissed the top of his head. "I'm counting the days."

You blinked away the tears that formed in your eyes and cleared your throat. "I was thinking of the names Jaehee and Jaeyoung. They were the names I chose with my ex-boyfriend before we broke up."

Eunae's face fell at your remark but she quickly smiled. "Those are beautiful names and they fit the twins perfectly."

You looked down at the twins, saying their names out loud. "Y/L/N Jaehee and Y/L/N Jaeyoung; they have a nice ring to it."

Jaehee's features were eerily similar to Hoseok's. Funny enough, she looked like Jiwoo since she was the female version of her younger brother. Your heart ached and your mind was troubled at how Jaehee was Hoseok's twin but you were glad that one of them had his beautiful features.

Knowing you had to raise the twins alone and that they might never meet their father was extremely bittersweet. Being a single mother was something you never anticipated nor did you expect Hoseok to react so harshly to your pregnancy. Even though he was not in your life anymore, you were more than capable of taking care of the twins on your own.
