Gayoon was shocked at the revelation. Minjung broke into tears, hiding her face as she cried. The past few weeks were an unending nightmare for her and she did not know how to get out of this. Her parents forbade her from meeting Yoo but they did not know of her state yet. But she would not be able to hide it from them for long.
"You must tell your parents," Gayoon asserted but Minjung shook her head.
"No!" she said. "My parents can't know! My dad just had surgery on his heart last year. If he finds out and gets a heart attack, he'll die! I can't let this happen!"
Gayoon bit her lip, worried about what to do. She had no idea on this matter and was completely unsure of what to do. Minjung might be an adult but most doctors in the country were reluctant to perform abortions on young mothers due to the risks associated with it. Moreover, the procedure might worsen her state.
