Even on the way to the hospital, Ji stayed on the clock, reminding Song to handle a few tasks she wouldn’t be able to manage while in surgery.
The couple had been on edge after hearing the preterm babies might struggle to breathe on their own. Ji tried to hold off delivery as long as possible, hoping to buy the twins more time.
At the hospital, unexpected pain kicked in, but Ji worried more about the babies than herself as the C-section began.
Waiting outside the OR, Song grew increasingly anxious as the minutes ticked by. Medical staff eventually emerged to explain the procedure was delayed by an anesthesia issue.
Thirty minutes later, the sound of newborn cries filled the hall. Overcome with emotion, Song burst into tears.
When the doors finally opened, he greeted the twins for the first time. Hearing their cries, the new dad couldn’t hide his joy.
Their boy-girl twins―sturdy firstborn “Oreum” and mellow “Bareum”―arrived healthy, easing the couple’s fears.
“You did amazing,” Song told Ji, while she teared up, repeating how beautiful the babies were.
With the tension lifted, Song texted their parents to share the good news―then dutifully circled back to the work to-dos Ji had assigned.
He also planned a lighthearted surprise: tiny Marine Corps T-shirts for the twins and a matching “Marine Dad” tee for himself, drawing laughs as he welcomed Ji back from recovery.
A teaser at the end of the episode announced psychiatrist Oh Jin-seung―often dubbed “the male Dr. Oh Eun-young”―and his wife, Kim Do-yeon, will join as the show’s next couple, setting up a buzzworthy new chapter.
