*ā the unexpected
rkkmnā:
sheās calmed down now. his warmth and soothing aura working its full effect on her confused and scared mind and she nods at his question. itās not that it could be dangerous; she has a chance on ten of having a normal pregnancy. so ninety percent chances of having complications; thatās how her doctor back in jeju put it. sheās considering telling him more about her past, more about what she had to go through as a kid. itās a missing piece of a puzzle that explains her family dynamics in a way, itās a missing piece of her own puzzle. but what if the way he sees her changes?
but before she can say anything, he takes the discussion another way. she could get lost into those eyes forever, yet right now she can barely look at him even if heās cupping her face. she nods. he does know her pretty well. ācanāt we order those things and get them delivered?ā she says on a whiny tone. the young woman still forces a smile on her lips, a thank you for his kindness and understanding. āwe? you promise?ā Ā
"i promise." jinyoung says with a gentle smile, stroking her cheeks with his thumbs. she knows he never makes promises lightly and always keeps them. he would never let his girlfriend have a baby on her own and not be there for the both of them, no matter what happens. even if they ended up separated, even if their situation was difficult, even if she were sick, he would take his responsibility all the way. if she's indeed pregnant... there will be obstacles, and judgement. but he'll be with her and respect her choices. that's the least he can do for causing it in the first place.
"it'll be quicker to just go down the street." they could probably order it online, but he wants to do it the right way. not just get the first sketchy-looking test they find. "i can go alone if you prefer." he can withstand the stares. they'll move on to the next thing quickly. it's seoul after all, not a small town where neighbors gossip. he doesn't know more than five people living in this very building. "let's get chocolate on the way." 'bad' news or not, jinyoung feels like it will help ease her nerves once they know for certain.
