I enter a cafe where someone is waiting for me with a delicious coffee. I smile when I see him. I reach out my hands and when he reaches out for a hug, I grab the coffee from his hands and hug it. He makes a -_- face and I laugh, then I say, "I'm kidding, Geum Jae oppa."
•••
I hug him and he smiles. Then he says, "I already ordered your food. It'll be here any minute." I smile and say, "You're the best, oppa. I love you ;)." He sighs and says, "Min Jee, don't say things you don't mean." I say, "But seriously, oppa. You're my best friend. I love you and you know it." He says, "Yeah, but you also know my feelings for you."
My smile fades and I say, "Yeah, sorry. :(." He smiles and says, "I could never be mad at you or be offended by you. Because you're cute and adorable." I smile and give him a aegyo. He blushes and then strokes my face.
Then he asks, "We've been best friends for how many years??" I say, "Hmm, let me think. We met when Yoongi was one of the first fans to sign when you came to support. So that was about 6 years ago?"
He says, "That's right. We ran into each other outside the event hall. I remember when we exchanged numbers and you texted me for the first time when you were lonely. And then we ran into each other again after his appendectomy." I nod, "Yeah, we got closer after that. You always bring me food when I had practice. I, remembering that, I smile.
Geum Jae nods and says, "But I don't think Yoongi even knows we know each other." I shake my head and he says, "Well, he doesn't know much." I sigh and nod. We eat and then head to N Tower.
In the evening
Geum Jae brings me home and comes upstairs to my place. We have a good time for a while, but then it gets late, so I let him stay in Yoongi's room.
About two weeks later
I wake up with a nosebleed. I leave the room and go to wash my nose. Then I go to the kitchen and there is Geum Jae, who stayed with me again overnight, who has made us both coffee and breakfast. He asks: "Are you okay? I saw that your nose is bleeding." I nod and say: "My head just hurts a little, but it will be fine." He looks at me a little uncertainly, but I nod and smile, then take some painkillers.
Later
Geum Jae takes me to work. He opens the door for me, then I get out and say, "Come upstairs. I have some clothes to give you before you go back home."
I work at JYP as a private trainer for some idols. When we walk in, I'm greeted by GOT7, who also come in. We say hello and we all head towards the stairs. Jinyoung, YoungJae, Yugyeom and GeumJae are in front of me, while JB, Mark, Jackson and BamBam are behind me.Geum Jae and I approach the stairs and I talk to Mark and JB from GOT7, we're actually friends. They ask me how Yoongi is doing and how he's feeling after the surgery because they know we're really close. I answer them.
Then suddenly I slow down and stop because I'm really dizzy. Mark looks at me and asks, "Are you okay?" I nod and put my hand to my head, which is starting to hurt. I ignore it and keep walking, but I only manage to take a few steps when suddenly all my strength disappears and I fall to the ground unconscious.
I just manage to feel Mark grab me part by part and fall to the ground, holding me. And I hear YoungJae and BamBam exclaim, "Noona!!"
Mark's POV
I fall to the ground but catch Min Jee. I sit up and see that she is lying unconscious. I say, "Quick, call an ambulance." Soon more and more people are running around. As I sit and hold Min Jee in my lap, I notice how beautiful she really is. I smile and brush her hair out of her face. After a few minutes, the ambulance comes and takes her away and the man who came with Min Jee goes to the hospital with the ambulance. We go to our practice but I say, "BamBam or Yugyeom, someone text Jungkook to let Yoongi know about Min Jee. I think he should know." The guys nod, but we keep walking.
Yoongi POV
The guys and I are in the BigHit practice room. They're practicing and I'm watching to catch up on everything I missed. The music stops and the guys take a break to catch their breath. Someone's phone rings, showing that they've got a notification. I sit down next to the guys on the ground. Someone's phone rings again.
Jungkook pulls his phone out of his pocket and says, "I guess this is for me." He unlocks his phone and reads the notifications. Then his expression changes. He's shocked at first, then surprised and a little... scared? He looks at me. I hold out my hand for him to give me the phone, but he shakes his head and reads the notification.
"Hey, this is Yugyeom. You know how Yoongi sunbaenim's friend works here, JYP?" He pauses and looks at me, then asks, "Wow. She works at JYP?? Nice." I sigh and impatiently reply, "Oh my god. Yeah, she was also offered a job here at BigHit, but she turned it down and went to JYP. Focus and read the message, Jungook!"
He nods and says, "Right." "Anyway. When she came to work today, we met her on the way to practice. But she must have suddenly felt sick, because.........she lost consciousness...and fainted...and they took her to the hospital." With each word he gets more and more quiet.My eyebrows furrow and I yell, "What?? Show me." He hands me the phone and I read the messages again. I say, "I need to find out which hospital they took her to." I call the hospital and find out soon. I say, "Okay, I'm on my way there. See you later." Jimin says, "Wait, I want to go to Noona's too." I glare at him and Namjoon looks at both of us. Namjoon says, "Jimin, I think it's best if just one of you leaves for now. Besides, we have to practice."
Jimin looks sad and nods. I run out of the room and run to the car. When I get to the hospital, I find out what ward she's in and head for it. Just as I'm about to go inside, a nurse stops me. She asks, "Are you here for Min Jee Kim??" I nod. She puts her hand in front of me and says, "The doctor hasn't checked her out yet, but she'll probably have to stay here overnight."I ask, "Can I see her?" She says, "I'm sorry, but only family can visit her right now." I say, "She doesn't have any family. Her grandmother lives abroad. I'm the closest person she has." She points to someone in the room next to her and says, "Look, that young man said he was her brother. But maybe try coming tomorrow."
Then she takes her hand away and steps back. I'm about to storm into the room, but she looks at me and says, "Please don't make me call security." I sigh and look through the glass at the person sitting next to her. He has a big hoodie on his head and a mask on his face, so I can't see his face, but whoever he is, I don't like him right now. I sigh and walk away angrily.
Geum Jae POV
I'm sitting in Min Jee's room, holding her hand, when the doctor comes in. I stand up and greet her politely. He says, "You're Kim Min Jee's brother, right?" I nod. He checks her details with me and then asks me to leave so he can examine/examine her.
When I'm called back in, the doctor says, "Well, I checked your sister. She's fine, but the reason she fainted was because she overexerted herself. It was bad for the baby." I'm confused and ask, "I'm sorry, bad for what?" The doctor says, "The baby. She's pregnant. About 8 weeks. You didn't know that?" I shake my head and say, "She didn't know that either. Are you sure about that? Really?"
The doctor says, "Absolutely. The ultrasound doesn't lie." I take a deep breath and say, "Clear. Thank you." The doctor says, "When she wakes up, I'll come back again." I nod and thank him again. I look at the sleeping Min Jee and smile.
LATER, Min Jee POV
When I wake up, I'm in the hospital on the system and someone is lying next to me on a chair, holding my hand. I pat the sleeping person's head. The person wakes up and it's Geum Jae. He smiles and says, "Hey. How are you feeling?" I say, "I've been feeling better. What happened?"He says, "You passed out. That Mark caught you when you fell and held you over, so you barely got hurt." I nod and then ask, "Do you know why I passed out?" He smiles and nods. Then he asks, "Have you noticed any changes in yourself lately?" I ask, "What changes?"
He asks, "Anything. Anything unusual at all." I say, "Just that I started eating more because of stress. And because I ate more, I gained a little weight, but I'll lose it quickly." He shakes his head and takes my hand in his. Then he smiles and says, "You're pregnant, Min Jee."
Just then the door opens and the doctor walks in. I say, "Hi. I think he's a little confused. He told me I was pregnant." The doctor nods and says, "You are. 8 weeks pregnant." I say, "No, I'm not. I just got my period. And I don't have morning sickness either. And my belly isn't growing either." He says, "Stand in front of the mirror and lift your shirt up to your chest." I do.
I look at my belly and tears well up in my eyes. I've developed a minimal but noticeable bump. I put my hands in front of my mouth and hold back the tears. The doctor says, "Not everyone gets morning sickness. And the bloody discharge that sometimes comes out in early pregnancy, sometimes women mistake for their period."
I gasp and start to cry. Geum Jae hugs me and I say, "Oh no. This can't happen. Oppa, this can't happen. This shouldn't have happened."He hugs me tighter and then the doctor leaves us alone. I sit on the bed and say, "This can't happen." Geum Jae asks, "Min Jee. I just have one question. From who?" I bite my lip, sigh and say, "From Yoongi." He looks at me and I say, "Exactly.....what should I do?? I thought we were being cautious."
Geum Jae sighs and says, "Let's figure something out." I say, "Oppa. I can't tell him. He doesn't want kids for a long time and we haven't even been together as a couple. He won't accept this baby. He'll give it up. Plus, he's so busy with his career that he won't even have time for this baby. And I can't make him choose between me and his career." I start crying and Geum Jae says, "He doesn't have to know it's his baby."
I ask, "What?" I say, "What if he doesn't know it's his? We can tell everyone that you and I are together. And that it's my baby." I say, "But we can't. It's not fair to you." Geum Jae says, "Min Jee. You know Yoongi better than anyone in the world. If you say he's going to give up the baby, then maybe he will. And then it's not fair to you. And to the baby. You two are not to blame for anything."
I start crying even more and Geum Jae hugs me. He says, "If anyone asks, I'll just tell them it's my baby." Soon I'm lying in bed and falling asleep again.
