There were a lot of pent-up emotions and angered at that moment. She came to the realization of her actions she stumbled backward afraid of what this man would do next to her.
He tightly grabbed her wrist before she could escape into the building and rage pounded in him like a drumbeat." You-
She flinched and blurted," Stop stressing yourself out with the thought of abortion I'm a little more halfway there—I'm 25 weeks pregnant!"
He removes his and looked at her speechless. It scarred him and he was truly terrified a million thoughts but no words to form the perfect sentence. The world was crumbling down before his eyes and the picture of his life seem to be falling apart.
" Dam-bi I betrayed you." He frowned and looked at the woman's stomach which had a well-developed round bump. It seems surreal and hard to accept that one drunken night after his wife died, he impregnated the woman he bought flowers from and who was good friends with his wife. The feeling of regret was so strong that caused him great pain. He's a respected man with a powerful sense of responsibility in the company. He like having control over his life but this – he had no control over.
"I didn't expect for this to happen either—My family disowned me!" She rushed inside and closed the door behind her. She put a pack of ice on her hurting wrist then watched the man drive away.
She leaned her back against the wall puzzled about her options," What am I supposed to do? —Someone please tells me what I am supposed to do next."
That was the longest conversation they had since the incident happened without embarrassing one another.
She scrolled through the contacts in her phone and hesitated to call her fiancée." He's probably asleep right now—It is kind of late." She wanted to hear his words of comfort and possibly mentioned meeting with the father of their unborn children.
Her fingered shift to the calendar," Oh, twenty-nine days."
She sulked for a while then her alarm went off on her phone to tend to the plants. It was nice and refreshing. For a moment Choon Hee forgot about what happened earlier but the heart-retching feeling did not disappear. It's like a bleeding wound
"I should be more productive—I don't want the children feeling these negative emotions. I remember Dr.Yang said whatever the mother feels so does the fetus." She took a deep breath and looked around the room thinking of all the shared memories.
It's time for a change and to move to a new place. Living in a department store and raising a child here is unethical
She used the boxes from the storage and begin packing her belongings. There wasn't a destination in mind, but she wanted everything ready when her eviction date shows up knocking on the door.
She passed out on the bed exhausted with her head on the pillow and facing the wall.
-
A taxi driver stopped at the front of the building.
"I can't wait to surprise her." Sung-Min picked up his suitcase from the car then opened the door with his spare key.
He looked around and saw several boxes line up and stacked against the wall. "What is going on? Why does the place look empty out?" He ran through the rooms then notice the plants were still in the greenhouse.
He spotted his fiancée fast sleep then he planted a kiss on her forehead and had questions but didn't want to wake up.
She spoke in a froggy tone and slowly open her eyes slightly as she faces her sights towards him," Oppa—I have you move someone bought the building."
"Really?" He questioned in complete shock then repeated but realized that she went back to sleep. He places his hand on her stomach and gently rubbed it.
When morning arrived Choon Hee opened her eyes and got out of bed hungry craving something sweet. "Did he really come home or was I dreaming?" She brushed her teeth and walked out of the bathroom to see more boxes stacked up.
"Oh, you're awake—Did you sleep well?" He asked lovingly and place a kiss upon her cheek while carrying another cardboard box.
"Did you do all of this by yourself—When did you do this?" She followed behind him and looked at all the progress.
He places the box down with sweat drenching the vape of his neck and under the armpits of his clothing then spoke," I came home last night, and you talked in your sleep that someone bought the place – You must move so I couldn't let a pregnant woman do all that work that's a man job."
She looked flustered," Did I really? - That's so embarrassing honey."
"We in this together."
In the few weeks, the two looked for homes or apartment complexes that were within their budget and roomy for these bundles of joys.
She received a message from an unknown caller.
[ 46 422 6434]
Let's meet for coffee 6:45 pm @Bloume Café
She nervously looked at the message and had this gut feeling that it was from her one-night stand.
"Sweetheart, let's check out this housing area 6 o clock."
The sound of his voice suddenly startled her Choon Hee flipped her phone to hide the message. Her heartfelt like was pounding out of her chest then she immediately responded," Okay."
Sung-Min thought her behavior was a little suspicious, but he brushed it off.
They made an appointment and tour the local housing district.
She checked the time on her phone each hour then it finally reached 6:30 pm then pulled her fiancée to the side and whispered," Finished up with the tour I must get my vitamins – I just realized."
"I can wait for –"
The lady return to continue the tour to the next building.
"It shouldn't be long I will be right back—I will call you." Choon Hee says then put in a search location in her device to find that the café was somewhere local. It took a few waiting distance
Ding'
She walked through the doors and spotted the man sitting in the back near the window. It took a lot of courage for her to talk to his table.
"Hello." She says politely and moves a piece of strand before her hair.
He offered the seat across from him," Please sit."
She sat down nervously and there was awkward among the two. She occasionally checked the time to not exceed the 15-minute time limit.
The server approached the table," Before I take your order, I wanted to tell you that the two of you are such a lovely couple."
"She'll take water and I'll like the green tea." He answered.
Choon Hee lowers her eyes nervously at the table and didn't want to stay here much longer.
Once the server walked away the man took the deepest breath then spoke in a settling tone." I had a lot of time to think about the situation— I think we should get to know each other, and I want you to stay in the main house throughout the remainder of your pregnancy until we get married."
She stuttered and choked on her spit," W-what?"
The server placed down the drinks then dismissed herself knowing they are having an important conversation.
Her phone vibrated on the table INCOMING CALL SUNG-MIN
