Then I Met You | Lee Jeno

8~Blast From The Past (2)

Yuri was feeling slightly ecstatic. She decided to cook something for him.

It was almost 11pm when Yuri heard the main door open up. Jaehyun entered the apartment. He saw Yuri and quickly made his way to her. Instantly he pecked her lips and engulfed her in his arms. "This is exactly what I needed," he said, burying his face in the crook of her neck.

Yuri hugged back, rubbing circles on his back to comfort him. Suddenly he started leaving wet kisses on her neck. "J-Jae," she breathed out. He hummed in response but continued his actions.

She pushed him away slightly and chuckled, "Go freshen up. I made dinner," she said. His eyes lit up at the mention of food. "You did?" he asked amused. "I did," she giggled.

Jaehyun rushed to the bathroom while Yuri set the food on the table. She took out the pregnancy test and kept it beside his plate. She settled down the food on the table and waited for Jaehyun to come out.

He came and saw the dinner served on the table which made him happy. He sat down but soon something caught his eye. The pregnancy test. He picked it up and saw it was positive. His gaze turned towards Yuri who sat on the opposite end anxiously.

"What does this mean?" he chuckled slightly, confused if she was pulling a prank. Yuri stuttered. "U-uh, I wasn't feeling well for the past few days and I also missed my period. I threw up in the afternoon. I went to the doctor and she told me that I-I am 3 weeks into the p-pregnancy," she replied and gulped after seeing his expressions change. 

He scoffed and got up. "It's impossible," he said. "Jae, I'm not lying," Yuri said timidly scared of his movements. Jaehyun frustratingly grabbed his hair. The next thing that he said, broke a piece of her. 

"This child isn't mine!" 

Almost instinctively Yuri's palm met Jaehyun's cheek. *SLAP*  The noise resonated in the apartment. 

Yuri was now breathing heavily. "H-how could you Jaehyun?"  He pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. "I am almost at the peak of my career. I worked hard for this. Don't shove someone else's kid in front of me saying it's mine,"  he stated. 

Tears ran down from Yuri's eyes. She was scared of the man in front of her. "You want me to fail right? You can't see my success for which I worked hard," he said aggressively. "Jaehyun did I do nothing for you?" she questioned back, her chest heaving up heavily. 

"NO IT WAS ALL ME!" he yelled. Yuri all of a sudden remembered helping Jaehyun with his presentations even if she had her college work piled up. How she skipped the family meetings just so she could spend time with him, how they would go days without talking but still she understood how busy he might be and supported him throughout. 

Yuri smiled and scoffed, "Yeah, I did nothing," she stood there emotionless. But again he said something that broke her down completely. "I am breaking up," he stated. Her gaze immediately shot up looking at him in disbelief. 

"W-what?" she whispered. "I SAID I AM BREAKING UP WITH YOU! NOW GET OUT OF MY HOUSE AND NEVER SHOW ME YOUR FACE AGAIN!," he yelled. 

Jaehyun held Yuri by her arm and dragged her towards the door. Her plea's were left unheard as he pushed her out of the door and threw her stuff out. 

Yuri crouched down crying. She did not expect this to go downhill. She got up and made her way to her house. 

She returned back and went straight to her room. As soon as she lied down on the bed, tears streamed down her eyes. She buried her head in the pillow so no one could hear her crying.
