"Jin-Woo, Jin-Soo"
- - - - - - - -
When the god sent Kang-Min for reincarnation, he felt like his body was being torn apart.
From the Rift, he was thrown into the loop of dimensions which is called the Dimensional Pool.
In this dimensional, any form of energy or object or say, anything in existence is refined to proceed in reincarnation.
A soul can not be sent crossing the countless dimensions without purifying all its emotions.
It's made into a heartless form and sent to the specific body.
However, while Kang-Min was being pulled through the loop, he heard a voice. The voice which he hadn't listened to for a couple of years.
"Kang-Min, whatever happens, don't let go of your consciousness."
'Dad! D... Dad!!' The voice woke him completely and Kang-Min who was losing his consciousness slowly regained it.
In the Dimensional Pool, where he was moving in any direction randomly he saw a black light approaching him.
And before he knew it, he was swallowed by it.

'It's dark. What's this? Where am I?'
Kang-Min moved around but he seemed to be trapped.
But despite being trapped it wasn't uncomfortable.
As if he was home, it felt warm and nice.
'You're in the womb of your mother, Kang-Min. Because of the motivation in the Dimensional Pool, you have your memories enacted. But soon you will forget it all because the mechanism of a child's body is too weak for all the information. However, depending on your growth they might return sooner or later.
I hope you fulfil all your wishes in this life and have fun.'
The god's voice recited in his mind before he lost consciousness.
A month or two had passed since then. Now in a private hospital in Korea, the doctors were entangled in the work of handling the pregnancy of a woman.
Outside the OT, a tall and bulked-up man was waiting for the operation to be over.
After what seemed more than an hour, the OT door opened and the nurse asked him to enter with a smile.
He heaved a sigh of relief when she did that. It was clear that the delivery went well and both his child and wife were safe.
He went inside and saw his wife peacefully resting with her eyes closed.
Beside her were their children.
Black hair and black eyes.
"Congratulations, Il-hwan-nim…" The doctor shook hands with him and left the room.
"They are like pasted copies of each other!" Il-hwan was a crude and rough man. For him, the babies were like miracles.
Magic given by the gods.
"They are twins for a reason, dear." Park Kyung-Hye whispered as she tried to sit up.
"I know, I was just fascinated." Il-hwan helped her sit as he supported her by holding her arms.
He sat beside her on the chair and held her hand.
"Are you feeling good? You must be exhausted." He gave her hand a light squeeze.
"Mn. But I am a little better now." Kyung-Hye gave a small yet weak smile.
Despite his scary aura, Il-hwan was a caring and emotional man.
More like, caring and emotional only for his family.
He immediately went out of the room when his smartphone gave him a notification.
When he returned, he had brought lots of fruits and healthy food with him.
Kyung-Hye couldn't help but cry a little seeing how loving her husband was.
"Honey, have you thought of names for them?"
Kyung-Hye's question startled Il-hwan.
"I... I did. But I could only think of one name. That somehow makes me feel like shi- ow!" Before he could say the word, she slapped him on the hand.
"Don't curse when my sons are around!" Her glare sent chills in his body but after another second she was back to normal.
"And you don't need to feel bad about it. After all, I would like to decide on a name for one of them too. To be honest, when we found out we were having twins, I was scared. But now that I look at them, even triplets won't make me nervous now."
"Then we can try more!" seeing Il-hwan say that, Kyung-Hye suppressed her anger and smiled which gave him a hint that he had said something idiotic again.
"W.. Well, about the name. I decided on Jin-Woo."
"And our second baby will be Jin-Soo." When she suggested the name, Il-hwan brimmed with happiness.
"You are so intelligent! I had to think for a whole month for the name." Il-hwan scratched the back of his head and chuckled.
After a few days' rest, Kyung-Hye was granted a discharge. After paying the bills, they left for their home.
Their house had two bedrooms and one guest room.
Kyung-Hye was surprised to see that the house was all cleaned and set well.
"Y... You did all this!?"
Il-hwan smiled with a smug look again.
Kyung-Hye felt like she was falling more and more in love with her husband. The way he kept doing every work.
His cooking had improved a lot. Especially his skills for cooking eggs and meat.
He would help her with their children. After a few days, he started to work again.
But he would be home as soon as he finished his duties.
One day, Kyung-Hye tried to work and had prepared the food.
He wasn't angry, but he wasn't happy either. That day, he asked her if he was doing anything wrong or making her uncomfortable.
Il-hwan only stopped worrying when she let him work again at home.
For a whole month, he took care of everything and Kyung-Hye got a lot of rest.
She couldn't see him managing everything in the house by himself anymore and finally made him stop.
"So, how is it? Have my skills become dull?" Kyung-Hye asked curiously as she served him a delicious breakfast.
"I still feel like kissing those hands which make such delicious food." Although his lines were cringy, Kyung-Hye couldn't help but feel embarrassed about his lacking skills at flirting.
Both Jin-Woo and Jin-Soo were sleeping again. Unlike babies that usually cry, both were calm.
The parents even felt worried so they asked their family doctor.
But he said they were a lot healthier than other kids around their age.
It was because they were twins. They would always stay calm whenever together.
Il-hwan picked up both of his sons and started playing with them after they woke up.
He would still get fascinated by how these two small things had his whole world in turmoil and worry even before they were born.
All of his search history contained facts and ways to raise children.
He dared not let any mistakes happen when he was taking care of them.
Il-hwan had a little difficulty noticing who was who between his sons but as time went by he could differentiate between them without even looking.
Jin-Woo was the older one by 10 minutes, and Jin-Soo was the younger one.
It had been well over 8 months and on a day Il-hwan was sleeping, having his pleasure nap during the weekend, Jin-Woo started crawling.
The half-awake Il-hwan flew in the air about a foot and landed on the ground, startling Kyung-Hye who was working in the kitchen.
"What happened!?" She ran to the hall with her hands still wet from washing the vegetables.
"J.. Jin-Woo is crawling!!" Il-hwan sat on his knees as he looked at his son crawling toward him.
But suddenly a cry broke behind him and Jin-Soo started crying.
Il-hwan and Kyung-Hye started taking pictures of them.
Jin-Woo stopped for a little while and then turned around and started crawling to Jin-Soo.
The crying baby stopped immediately like some spell had done its work.
Jin-Woo and Jin-Soo were crawling together after a few minutes together.
And after another month, the big day came.
When Kyung-Hye was reading a magazine on the couch and Il-hwan had just returned and was at the entrance the kids started squirming in their swing.
"Ma... Mama!"
"D…Dada!!"
Jin-Woo who said mama and Jin-Soo who said dada were pointing in opposite directions.
But whether they called their mom, dada and dad, mama didn't matter at all.
Il-hwan was shaking in bliss and Kyung-Hye broke into tears.
That day, they celebrated with cakes and chocolates.
The twins started walking exactly on their birthday which was a memorable day indeed.
Both Jin-Woo and Jin-Soo were growing into good kids. They didn't act stubborn or do useless things to trouble their parents. They had seen their father work the whole day and come home exhausted.
And yet he always had time for them. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the kids were maturing earlier than many other kids.
Jin-Soo would stick to Jin-Woo. And Jin-Woo would also depend on him.
Both brothers started to become closer day by day and were inseparable.
Jin-Soo would cry in the middle of the night but Jin-Woo kept patting his head and back which would calm his brother.
Since they both slept in other rooms, the couple never found this out.
Until that one miserable day…
