Moments in Time: A Seven One Shot
Yet, certain ones resonate loud enough to be remembered in full detail. Sight, smell, touch. Senses blend into each other. There are moments that make you feel alive. Moments that make you want to keep living.Β
Moments that you couldnβt forget if you tried.
They ring with a kind of clarity unique to the things greater than ourselves. Itβs that certain knowledge that what is happening to us in that moment is big. Important. It is a specific section of your life that you can open up like a page in a book once itβs passed.Β
In these moments, itβs like youβre truly waking up. Like all before it was a dream compared to the new vibrant reality. Like you were living life in preparation for these very moments, and once you live them, you canβt help but call it some kind of fate.
You live for these moments.Β
And itβs happening now.Β
Saeyoung is frozen, staring at you with wide amber eyes. Uncertainty glitters across his face. He is holding a glass up to his lips, frozen in the middle of drinking his soda while he leans on the tall counter top with his other arm. The party hat on his head is lopsided. In front of him is a large checkered cake with two burned-out candles proudly displaying the number β22β³ in bright yellow wax. Slices of the cake have been cut away, and he has a plate full of half-eaten cake next to his hand.
Behind him stands his brother, Saeran, who is leaning on the counter top with his forearms crossed. His chin had been resting on his arms as he watched everyone cooly, his party hat ruffling his messy white hair. Now, though, his face is raised, eyes staring at you pointedly.
On the right, still standing in the kitchen, Jaehee and Zen stand like frozen statues. Jaehee is still holding a plate with piece of cake, having freshly cut it to taste the delicious chocolate. The fork is still raised to her mouth, some chocolate spilling across her rosy lips. Sheβs staring at you with wide doe-eyes, pure shock claiming her delicate features. Sheβs already taken off her party hat (she didnβt like the thin string grazing her chin when she spoke). Zen is standing next to her, some frosting still smeared on his nose from when Saeyoung had booped him. His party hat was perfectly centered on his head, and somehow, he didnβt look too ridiculous in it. He was lightly sipping a beer that heβs still holding. Now, though, his attention is all on you as he stares at you with an incredulous look.
On the left, Jumin, Yoosung, and V had been talking in the living room. Jumin and V were spread out on the couch, shoulders touching with a comfortableness and ease that lifelong friends tend to have. Juminβs head had whipped around, shaking his party hat a little looser from its nearly immaculate position on his head. Now he is staring at you with an expression that is very uncommon for him: complete surprise. V is not looking at you, but his head is tilted slightly so that his ear is facing you. His party hat is hanging wildly from just above his ear, but nobodyβs told him quite yet. Heβs probably doing it on purpose, just to be silly. Yoosung had been holding a cup of soda as well, laughing and conversing with them, but now he is staring at you blankly, not quite registering what had happened just yet.
You hadnβt really planned it this far. The playlist had finally reached its last song, and it had ended in a comfortable silence. Everyone seemed so joyous and happy after Saeyoung had blown out his candles. When the music died down, there was a natural lull in everyoneβs conversation. You had suddenly decided it was time to tell them. Tell them all.
And, well, they had heard you loud and clear.
Silence permeates the room. You shift your feet, biting your lip nervously. Your heart is beating wildly in your chest.
Saeyoung is still staring at you. Slowly, he puts down his glass.
βWhat did you say?β Saeyoung finally says hoarsely, still looking uncertain.
You canβt hold back the radiant smile that blossoms on your face. You feel like your heart leap out of your chest in joy. You grip the large, wrapped present in your hand as if it would steady you.Β
βI said, Iβm pregnant.β
