the one where hwa young is a mother.

unedited.

"Why do you look like that?" Donghyuck asked in confusion, glancing at the Na as he walked timidly back to the group of men— squished onto one of the hospital's hallway benches.

He had just peaked through Hwa Young and Renjun's room, and his palm refused to quit hovering over his parted lips.

"Is something wrong with the labor?" Jeno asked in concern, suddenly standing from his sitting position. His heart began to increase, and adrenaline coursed through his veins but it all soon diminished once the light haired male shook his head.

"What is it?" Mark urged, becoming impatient as well.

"I saw Hwa Young's coochie," Jaemin whined, rubbing his eyes as he hoped to erase the vivid image in his brain. However, the others weren't too shocked or as worked up as him.

"Bruh, I thought we've all seen it at this point. She literally lives in the apartment as if we're not there, and also she never locks doors," Jeno shook his head.

"Not locking doors is just part of her chaotic mosaic," Donghyuck tsked, rolling his eyes as he recalled the many crazy and goofy traits she had.

"Can you guys believe it?" Mark interjected somberly. His usual optimistic mood was brought down as the reality finally settled in. He couldn't fathom anything at this point.

"What?" Jeno questioned. He felt as if he's been on a rollercoaster with the drastic emotion changes in the past minute. They've been friends for years, yet somehow, he still wasn't used to it.

Catching on quickly, Donghyuck replied. "Our little sex magnet is gonna be a milf,"

"Why do you have to put it like that? Can't you just say mother?" Jeno grumbled, brows furrowing in confusion, though the other Lee brushed him off.

"But it's Hwa Young, do y'all remember who she was in High school?" Donghyuck continued, reminiscing in the woman they had met several years ago in a horrible, horrible math class, however they came to love the class, knowing who was in it.

"The school's personal heartthrob," Mark laughed, shaking his head.

"A whore," Jaemin chimed.

"A total heartbreaker," The tanned chuckled, "And now she grew a heart in her stomach,"

The boys physically cringed at his unusually" sweet" words, but they couldn't help but feel overly sentimental in the moment. They've seen Kwon Hwa Young grow into the person she is today. She was their person, a friend that was always there, and another mouth that would filter jokes and brighten their days.

They've seen her grow from this awkward, shy kid in high school, that had no clue of what she wanted to do with her life, to an outgoing, and powerful woman that still doesn't know what she wants to do.

The boys chuckled, sharing the same thoughts.

And somehow, their hearts swelled more, because in the exact same room as her right now, was what they knew to be the love of her life. She didn't know it, but they've known that she's always had a crush on Huang Renjun. Even back in their youth.

They were two peas in a pod. Despite the numerous boyfriends and the teenage flings, she always came back to him. And if that wasn't enough to show her love for the boy she sat next to in that one Algebra class, it was her look.

Though at most times, Hwayoung was a closed book, her eyes told all. The way that she stared at the boy made it seem as if she's re-absorbing every small detail of his appearance over and over again, and she still marveled at it as if it was her first time placing her eyes on such art.

Renjun was the same. Although, he's known the woman to be his first love, and a love that would always stay no matter what, the feeling was just as obvious in his eyes. The way it crinkled whenever he laughed at her jokes or when they turned into constellations when admiring her beauty spoke words that could make any person soft with love.

They were good for each other. And they were going to be amazing parents to a little bundle of joy.

"Okay enough with the sappy stuff," Jaemin sniffed, waving his hands in the air to clear the atmosphere of the sentimental mood.

"Guys," Renjun peaked out from the hospital room, the biggest grin plastered on his face.

"What?"
"What happened?"

He beckoned them to follow him, and with hesitant steps they entered the room. Immediately their feet were glued to the floor once seeing the sight placed in front of them.

"Oh, wow,"
