READ: I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE | DIVORCE PAPERS
eight weeks have passed since you came home from mark’s wedding. you and jaehyun meet up from time to time.
your schedule has changed so much, driving from seoul to busan to meet with your clients, endless meetings, attending trials and of course, designing the last-minute dresses. aside from fall and winter clothing, allure has collaborated with luxe and lace - a bridal dress company that happens to be your mom’s best friend’s business. you were a bit uncertain with the plan, but, hey, it was a nice opportunity and besides, it was only for this year’s fashion show. on your calendar placed next to your laptop, had two blue ink circles. one being the first day of the fashion week, the other was the day of your period which was three days ago.
shit. you thought, your mouth was slightly opened as your stare at the circled date. it was so unlikely to happen - you were never late when it comes to your menstruation. you buzzed your secretary, and a few seconds later she came inside of your office. you had asked her a ‘no-questions-asked’ favor which she agreed to and headed off to buy you some pregnancy tests at the pharmacy across the street, and as soon as she came back, you rushed to the bathroom inside your office.
you took three tests and had to wait 10 minutes: 10 minutes of overthinking. if it comes out negative, then the divorce will be done as planned. if it’s positive then… you’re fucked. as you wait, you walk back and forth inside the small room, did you forget to take your pill that night? you usually take them every night at 7 p.m., and you must’ve been so drunk that you forgot about it.
“well, let’s just see what my fate is.” you said, opening one eye as you flip the three sticks. positive. all of them.
you are indeed fucked; how are you supposed to tell this to your parents? most importantly, how are you going to break this news to jaehyun? what if he doesn’t want this anymore? he did sign the divorce papers on the last day. what if you had another miscarriage again? history repeats itself, doesn’t it? are you even ready to be a mom? you probably bit your lower lip too strong that you started tasting blood. you shook your head, storming out of the bathroom to grab your belongings and shoved the tests inside your bag.
it was a busy day inside allure, and as you walked out of your office, you had a lot of people calling after you. at that point, you were ignoring them. you had to be with jaehyun, you had to tell him - after all, it was also his baby. his decision matters (which was ironic because you decided to file for a divorce without acknowledging his opinion), he was also responsible for this baby’s life.
when you arrived at zetta tech’s headquarters, the receptionist did not bother calling for your name anymore after your first encounter over two months ago. you hurriedly rode the elevator with most of the employees and pressed the button for the 23rd floor.
“y/n, what are you doing here?” hanbyul asked with a shocked expression on her face.
“i- i need to talk to jaehyun, is he around?”
“mhmm, he’s at the conference room as of the moment but i’m pretty sure his meeting with the new client will be done in a few minutes.”
you nodded your head and sat on the ottoman in front of her cubicle, catching your breath.
you wondered what jaehyun’s reaction would be. happy? well, he probably will be happy because he did want to fix your marriage. but you were a nervous wreck. usually, you weren’t like this - you were a tough boss, a tough one to please but whenever it came to jaehyun, you’re like a lost puppy. you were weak. the moment you heard the doors of the conference room open, you stood up hurriedly. a bunch of people in suits walked out of the room, and one man stood there frozen. you walked towards his direction, greeting a few people as they walked past you.
“jaehyun, can we talk?” you asked, “i-is this a good time? because this is very serious and i need your opinion about it.”
“wow, you need my opinion? that’s new.” he laughed, “i have a lot on my plate, y/n. can we just let this slip today and talk about it during the next court hearing?”
ouch. that actually hurt. jaehyun walked past you as well, his hands were buried in his pockets as he entered his office. this has to end today. you thought, turning around and followed him inside.
“jaehyun, this is really important. if it isn’t, i probably would’ve sent my secretary here instead of me-”
“not now, y/n.”
“yes, now, jaehyun!” you shout, causing him to flinch by your sudden rise of noise.
he pinched the skin in between his eyebrows and groaned, “y/n, i’m doing something really important here-”
“jaehyun, i’m pregnant.” you interject, “you- you got me pregnant.”
silence surrounds the room as jaehyun looks at you, his eyebrows furrowed and his mouth slightly agape. it was so clear that he was confused, “i thought you were on the pill, you told me you were on the pill!”
“i was… i think i must’ve forgotten to take one that night.” you sniffed, “look, if you don’t want this, i can always-”
“have you visited the doctor yet?” you shook your head, “then how did you know you’re pregnant?”
you pulled out the three sticks out of your bag, placing them on top of his table. jaehyun held one of it and sighed, “do you have time today? let’s go to the doctor.” he suggested, pressing a button on his telephone. “hanbyul, cancel all my meetings today. i have to go to the hospital.”
you sat uncomfortably next to jaehyun inside his benz. the atmosphere between the two of you was heavy and felt very suffocating. in the corner of your eye, you could see jaehyun drive with one hand and the other was massaging his forehead.
“i’m sorry,” you apologize, “i shouldn't have told you about it today…”
“then what? tell it to me when you have another miscarriage?” he fought back, stopping at the red light.
that caught you off guard, “yeah, i probably should've just done that.” you said, unbuckling your seatbelt and unlocked the car. “look, i didn’t want this- it wasn’t even part of my plan, i was drunk when we had sex and it was mistake. just call me when you're done being such an asshole.”
needless to say, that jaehyun did contact you a few days later, but you were the one who’s ignoring him - for a good reason though. you didn’t want to stress yourself again now that you were pregnant. you scheduled a checkup the following day to confirm it yourself, the father of this child was being a child himself, so you decided to go alone. twas the day of your second year of handling a fashion show, everything was going on so well and everyone hasn’t made any mistakes. but of course, you spoke too soon. one of your models tripped backstage and injured herself.
“i’ll do it.” you suggested, all of the staff gasped in shock, causing you to chuckle, “we have no other choice- it’s the last walk in a few minutes.”
“b-but you’re gonna have to wear a wedding dress, ma’am.”
“and? it’s not like i haven’t worn one.”
immediately, you stripped out of your clothes. leaving you in your underwear as you wait for the staff to prepare the wedding dress for you. the lace, trumpet-style white dress fits your body perfectly. it reminds you of the time you were finding the right dress to wear for your wedding. all the staff gathered around you to help you prepare for the last-minute decision of walking down the runway.
“wedding dresses are up!” yelled one of the event coordinators.
“i’m sorry, ms. y/n-” the injured model apologized, you gave her a warm smile and told her it was alright.
you were the last one to walk, to display the final design of the collaborated dress made by allure and luxe & lace. you were holding such a big responsibility. walking down the runway wasn’t new to you. you experienced a few when you were sixteen, but right now, something was definitely up. as the models in front of you slowly disappear and walk back, you could feel cold sweat form on your skin. you could do this, y/n y/l/n. you told yourself as the model in front of you walks out.
the coordinator greets you with good luck as she sends you out. the amount of people outside stunned you, yet you kept your poise and stoic face. what even more stunned you was the person sitting on the front row, next to johnny’s significant other who loved your designs. jeong jaehyun sat there shocked as he saw you walk down the runway, it was like the time he saw you walk down the aisle. time seemed to slow down when jaehyun met your eyes and as you turned to the other side of the runway, jaehyun knew he had to talk to you after this event.
he found himself in front of your apartment door at 6 in the morning the following day. he wanted to let you celebrate your fun after the event because frankly, you deserved it. he knew your plans about moving back to europe once your divorce was settled, but now that you were pregnant, jaehyun thought it would be dangerous for you to fly back, let alone live abroad during your pregnancy. if you decide to keep this baby, jaehyun wants to be part of its life. he wanted to be present, even if you still want to continue with the divorce - being part of that little bean’s life would be enough for him.
“jaehyun, what are you doing here?” you asked, opening the front door after you heard the first ring.
“i- i wanted to talk to you about the baby.”
your mouth forms an ‘o’, stepping to the side to give him space to enter your abode. he looked around and saw the neat furniture and paintings around the living room. your place was minimalistic and eye-pleasing. he smelled fermented kimchi, in contrast to your beautiful place, noticing that you were making yourself breakfast.
“ah, sorry. i woke up craving some kimchi fried rice…” you mutter, covering the pan and turned the stove off. “so, uh, you said you wanted to talk about the baby?”
“i’m sorry if i was such an asshole the other week- i was just so stressed with work and our ongoing divorce, i might've poured all the pressure and anger on you.” he explained, “look, y/n, i really didn’t know what to feel when you told me you were pregnant. i was happy, yes. i’m finally building the family we’ve always wanted but… i wasn’t sure if you wanted it the way i wanted.”
you look down to your feet, unable to speak and played with your oversized shirt to prevent yourself from crying. “y/n, from the very start, it has always been the two of us but… until the previous year, i was a jerk. i know what i did was wrong. i deserve every anger you have for me but i want to be part of this baby’s life.” he cried, “i- i’m okay if you still want to continue with the divorce, but if you do keep this baby, at least let me be part of their life. i’m also responsible for them.”
you sighed, “i have an 8 am appointment with my ob-gyn. perhaps, do you want to come with me?”
without hesitation, jaehyun nodded his head.
you sit nervously on the couch outside your doctor’s office, your legs bounce continuously - a sign of anxiousness as you wait for the doctor’s assistant to call your name. jaehyun noticed it, his hand found its way to yours, intertwining it with his and held it tightly. “calm down. i’m sure everything will be fine.” he comforted, “i’m right here, okay?”
you nodded your head and sighed, “jaehyun, do you want to come with me inside while dr. kim examines me or do you want to stay here?” you asked, he raised an eyebrow “i-i guess i’m just a little shy to let you see me inside and hear the doctor talk about babies and stuff.”
“i’d love to hear about it, y/n. this is your first, well, second pregnancy. i want to know more about it so i could help you throughout the journey.”
the doctor's assistant calls for your name and the two of you enter the small office with a bunch of posters and pictures plastered on the wall. doctor kim explains what to expect on your first trimester, you were six weeks in and he suggested an ultrasound to further confirm the baby’s condition. you felt your cheeks heat when jaehyun helped you strip out of your clothes to change into a hospital gown. but once the doctor points the small bean on the screen, the two of you felt so relieved and happy. that little guy right there would be your bundle of joy in no time. jaehyun had a lot of questions for the doctor, it was like he was the one who was pregnant and not you.
you still held jaehyun's hand as you walked back to his car. according to your gynecologist, you had nothing to be worried about as your baby is growing healthy. you were told to be extra careful and avoid any stress as possible. he had invited you to eat lunch with him, which you gladly accepted. it was already noon and you were already hungry as you are eating for two now.
as your first trimester passes by, jaehyun finds himself staying at your place more often, he offered to take your couch to monitor your journey as a soon-to-be-mom. at 14 weeks, you started to wear loose dresses to work. your bump was visible than ever despite the fact that you have been trying to hide it to everybody. you and jaehyun decided to tell your family about it on the 20th week mark, which resulted in a lot of mixed reactions. both of your parents asked if you were back together again, that also resulted with the two of you talking in the middle of the night about it. you ended up attending couple's therapy to pick up the broken pieces of your marriage and had the court dismiss your filed divorce. it wasn’t easy but the two of you got through it.
in your second trimester, you suggested jaehyun to move in with you officially. he understood why you didn’t want to live in the old townhouse anymore and decided to buy a new place from the money you’ve got by selling the old house. at 19 weeks, you found out that you were having a girl. jaehyun freaked out for a week after receiving the news. at 26 weeks, jaehyun had asked you to marry him again while the two of you took a quick break from life during a vacation in jeju island. the officiant, jaehyun and you were the only ones present at this 24-hour wedding chapel he found at 2 am.
in the last trimester, things started to get real, real hard. jaehyun realized how hard it must’ve been being pregnant - the unusual and weird cravings (like eating ice cream with pickles) and all sorts of body pains you experienced carrying another human being. he offers to massage your body sometimes and even did the famous tiktok trend where the man would lift the belly slightly which was helpful, by the way. jaehyun found out that sex during the third trimester wasn’t dangerous, after doctor kim told him that it was, quote this, downright healthy. the two of you couldn't keep your hands off each other and were like bunnies hopping around town every damn time. other than that, jaehyun made sure to capture every memory to show it to your baby in the future.
it was 2 in the morning when you started your labor. jaehyun had called the midwife while you yelled inside the bedroom, gripping on the sheets as you tried to find a way to reduce the pain. you had opted to water birth at home, because according to your husband who has read more books than you did, it was less painful than normal delivery in the hospital (which, as doctor kim said, both are painful). jaehyun had joined you in the pool in the middle of your living room, planting kisses on your neck and temple as he told you that you were doing a good job. then he realized, a little later, that he was also covered in blood water and other body fluids but it didn’t matter because he held the two people in his life who mattered the most to him - you, and your baby girl.
it felt like jaehyun was holding the whole world in his arms, jeong dasom was born healthy and weighs 7.5 pounds, a week before your anniversary.
“you did a good job, my love.” jaehyun whispered against your cheek before planting a kiss on your lips.
starting today, it will be you, jaehyun, dasom and other future kids you will have, ‘til the end.
