Dahyun woke up, she's not at the house anymore. "What happened? What's going on?" She felt someone holding her hand. "Am I at the hospital? Why? I'm okay, I just feel tired." She started looking around, "Mrs. Jeon." The first person she sees after waking up, "Are you crying? Why? What's going on? Did something happened? Where's eomma? Y-Yeonhee. Mrs. Jeon, why?" The door opened, it's Mrs. Kim. "You're awake." She forced a smile. Mrs. Jeon kept her head low while crying silently and holding her hand. "Mrs. J-Jeon..." A doctor came in. "How are you, Mrs. Jeon? Glad that you're awake, how are you feeling?" He asked, and checked on her. She doesn't have an Idea what's going on, she suddenly couldn't speak. "May I ask, are you taking some meds?" Dahyun shook her head. "Been drinking alcohol? Or anything?"

"O-once, yesterday." She answered. "Only yesterday?" Dahyun nodded. "Hmm, but it happened this morning. Were you in a fight? Argument?"

"Excuse me, wh-what?" Dahyun asked him, she heard him breathe. "Unfortunately, Mrs. Jeon... You were pregnant for 3 weeks, I'm sorry. The baby didn't make it." Mrs. Jeon cried even more, the doctor excused himself. "I-I was?" Mrs. Kim hugged her, Dahyun started crying too.

























"Don't tell Jungkook for now, he already has problem at work. I don't want to add to it, can we go home? Please? I don't want to stay here, he'll find out." She said. "We will." Her mom held her hand.

Dahyun was very sad, she didn't know. She's not supposed to cry, she never felt like there's something in her. She never imagined it would happen to her, "Are you sure, you're okay?" Mrs. Jeon asked her. The two mothers fixed everything from the hospital so Dahyun could go home immediately. "Eonni, Eomma..." Yeonhee came before they could leave. Dahyun looked at her for seconds and just ignored her, "She needs rest." Mrs. Jeon sighed and escorted Dahyun out of the room.

"Eomma..." Yeonhee cried, Mrs. Kim clenched her fists. "Eomma, I'm sorry..." Mrs. Kim couldn't control herself and slapped her, "Sorry? Could that bring the baby back? Even though none of us know that she was pregnant, you don't talk to your sister like that! Remember you also did this before? Jeongsan almost died! She stayed at the hospital until she gave birth! I wasn't there because I can't afford to stay here! Dahyun didn't do anything wrong, Yeonhee. I am the one to blame, you didn't grew up together because of me and your father! Be mad at us! Not to her!"
























"Where were you? I kept calling." Jungkook was already home. Dahyun went to hug him, Jungkook was a bit confused. He wrapped his arms around her. The two mothers excused themselves from them. "What's wrong, are you okay?" He asked, Dahyun just stayed still while closing her eyes so she wouldn't tear up. "Dahyun?" Jungkook caressed her hairs. She couldn't take it, she's about to cry but cleared her throat and took a deep breath. "I'll just go take a shower." Dahyun excused herself, looking away. Jungkook didn't have an idea what's going on with her. Dahyun stayed in the bathroom, crying under the shower. Is there anyone to blame? She didn't know she was pregnant, it's her fault. She drank, she wasn't careful. That's all she could think about.









"Dahyun? What's taking you so long in there? Are you okay?" She heard Jungkook. "S-sorry," She saw a book on the sink. "Just reading, I'll be out after 5 minutes." She said, she sniffled and rinsed. Jungkook was there when she opened the door. "How's work? You resolved your problem?" She asked. "I did, they need to be threatened before they could do their work right." Jungkook sighed. "You threatened them? That's way too much."

"Nah, they're getting used to it. Getting delayed with what's scheduled." Dahyun sat on the bed, "What's wrong?" He asked once again. "Huh? Nothing, why? What made you think something's wrong?" Dahyun looked away. "You hugged me for a long time and you look sad? Where did you go with the moms?" He went squat in front of Dahyun.
