Day Dream • Na Jaemin

2

With the phone call over, Doha now has Suji's cell phone. He offered to be a good guy and handle all of her texts and calls for her.

Suji decides it is time to take a gamble. Not only does she need to ensure her safety, but the safety of the growing life inside of her. She can only hope that Doha will go easy on her once he learns.

"I'm pregnant," she says.

The first person she is revealing the joyous news to is not the person she planned on. In fact, she never planned on this situation.

He glances down at her stomach, a dubious expression on his face. "But you don't look like it…"

"I just found out today. The used pregnancy test confirming it is in the bathroom."

He eyes her warily. "Show me." Then he gets jittery and points the gun at her. "Keep your hands up and slowly lead the way."

She cautiously raises her arms, palms out, and begins leading the way. Her mind is racing of what she can do.

There is a handgun in the bedroom, but she doubts that she can get her hands on it without Doha noticing.

Right before Suji enters the bedroom, she debates rushing inside before Doha and locking the door behind her.

However, she will not have a safe way of escaping if she does that.

"Stand by the bathroom door and keep in sight," Doha instructs.

She does as she is told and waits just outside of the bathroom.

After stepping into the room, Doha peers down at the pregnancy test that Suji had forgotten on the counter.

It is quite obvious to tell it is positive by the two stripes it has. Ever so quietly, Doha leaves the bathroom and looks at Suji.

She takes a single step back, anticipating what he might do to her.

Then Doha lights up with a smile. "We're going to have a baby! A baby!"

Suji supposes that she should be thankful for his positive reaction. She cannot imagine what a negative outcome might have been–

Suddenly, Doha freezes up and his eyes grow wide as he looks at something past Suji.

He gasps, taking in the photo of Jaemin in his uniform. "He's a cop...?" he whispers.

"What did you say?" she asks, having only caught the last word he said.

"He's a cop?!" he demands loudly.

She shrinks back a little. "Y-yes."

"You're married to a cop?!"

Suji nods. "Yes."

Doha shouts in exasperation and begins to the pace the bedroom.

His eyes land on the handcuffs lying on top of the dresser, the very dresser that has a handgun in the top drawer.

He comes to a stop, pointing at the handcuffs with his free hand while keeping his gaze on Suji. "Put those on."

So she walks over to the dresser and picks them up. She closes the metal around one of her wrists. Suji tightens it, but leaves it loose enough where she has a chance of slipping it off.

Then she attempts to secure her other wrist, but she is having difficulty.

"Stay still." Doha makes his way over to her and helps her with the cuff.
