Ateez - when the boys unite

Chapter 29

Hongjoong: W...What?

Wooyoung: You’re pregnant. You’re going to have a baby

Hongjoong: I can’t have a baby!

Wooyoung: What do you mean?

Hongjoong: What if Seonghwa won’t love me anymore?! What if all my friends leave me?!

Wooyoung: Hongjoong, I’ll never leave you, neither will anyone else

Hongjoong: But Wooyoung... *sniff*

Wooyoung: I know

Hongjoong started sobbing loudly and Wooyoung was quick to wrap him in a hug. His cries caught the attention of the boys in the living room and they all came to stand outside of the door.

Seonghwa: Joongie, what’s wrong baby?

Wooyoung: Joong, you have to tell him

Hongjoong: I’m scared Woo

Wooyoung: I know. It will be fine though

Hongjoong: You sure?

Wooyoung: I promise

Hongjoong pulled away from the hug and Wooyoung wiped away his dry tears. Hongjoong slowly walked to the door that his boyfriend was frantically knocking on and he slowly opened it. Before he could even walk out of the bathroom, Seonghwa rushed in and wrapped him in a tight hug. The shorter hugged him back as he started lightly sobbing again. Seonghwa squeezed him as he placed little kisses in his hair.

Wooyoung: Be careful Hwa. Don’t squeeze him too much

Seonghwa: Why? What’s happening? Why are you crying baby?

Hongjoong: Please don’t leave me Hwa

Seonghwa: Why would you think I’m going to leave you?

Yunho: Can someone please explain why my best friend is crying?

Wooyoung: Joong, you need to tell them

Yeosang: Tell us what? Joong, why are you crying?

Yunho: Whoever hurt my best friend is going to pay!

Seonghwa: Joongie?

Hongjoong: I... I... I’m...

Wooyoung: Joong, take a deep breath and tell them. They deserve to know and you won’t be able to keep it a secret from them for long.

Hongjoong: Ok... I... I’m... pregnant

Seonghwa: What did you say?

Hongjoong: I’m pregnant

Seonghwa pulled away from the hug and looked at Hongjoong deep in the eyes, making him worried about what he was going to do.

Seonghwa: Pregnant?

Hongjoong looked down as his tears started again. Everybody else was silent, impatiently waiting for Seonghwa’s reply.

Seonghwa: Pregnant?

San: Hwa?

Seonghwa: Pregnant?

Mingi: Say something other than that

Seonghwa: Seriously?

Hongjoong: I’m sorry

Seonghwa put his fingers under Hongjoong’s chin and made him look at him. Seonghwa looked at Hongjoong for what felt like forever until he spoke.

Seonghwa: Tell me you’re lying. Stop playing with me

Wooyoung: He’s not lying. I have the test to prove it
