Part 25

Sunday

I woke up suddenly when I heard the front door slam downstairs. It scared me out of my sleep. I no longer felt Kidoh's warm arms around me. He was gone.

I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. On the door, there was a note.

I ripped it off the door angrily.

It said:

Dear Hyein, I was called into work urgently for something important. I'll be taking a plane to Japan in about two hours. I don't know when I'll be back. I'm hoping it's only a week. In the mean time, I won't be able to call or message you, so here's my email address if anything urgent comes up. I love you and I hope you're not too angry with me.
-Kidoh

I rolled my eyes and slammed the paper onto the couch. "Great now I'm alone and its three in the morning so I can't fall any of my friends," I said, feeling sorry for myself.

I sat down slowly onto the couch. Tomorrow, the babies will be seven weeks. That means, thirty-three more weeks left of this stupid pregnancy, then the real hell comes.

I sighed and walked into the bathroom. I saw myself in the mirror and pulled back my clothes so I could see my stomach. There is a slight bump appearing.

By the time Kidoh comes back, I'll be even bigger. Not by much, but it'll be more visible than now. Maybe he'll believe that I'm just bloated from my period and he'll leave me alone.

I don't know why, but I still don't want to tell him about it. It's just such a difficult topic to bring up in normal conversation.

How do I tell him that I'm pregnant with another man's baby? It's just impossible to do. What if he reacts the same way that my mother did?

I sighed heavily and sat down on the floor. "I miss Xero," I said mindlessly.

A gong went off in my head. "That's it." I said, finally realizing what to do.

I rushed back upstairs to my bedroom and looked around for my phone. I forgot exactly where I had put it, but it was somewhere in my room.

After about five minutes of looking, I found it underneath my bed. I snatched it and sat against the bed, tapping buttons mindlessly.

"Hello?" The person on the other side answered.

"Xero! Thank goodness!" I yelled.

"Eh, Hyein, what yous want?" He asked me. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he's drunk.

"Well, uh, Kidoh left again and I'm all alone. I was wondering if I could come over and hang out with you?"

It took a while for him to answer me. There was a loud thump from the receiving end. It made my body jolt. "Xero? Xero, are you okay?" I asked nervously.

"Hello, who's this?" Another person, not Xero answered. I furrowed my brows in confusion. "Hojoon? Is that you?"

"Oh! Hyein!" He shouted. I pulled the phone away from my ear. "Yeah, it's me."

I basically went through the same conversation that I did with Xero except I got an actual answer this time.

"Yes, of course, you can always come over," Hojoon said. "I'll have Hansol pick you up since I'm working right now and dealing with a drunk Xero." I giggled and shook my head from side to side. "Of course."

We hung up and I waited for Hansol to get here.

*****

Hansol walked me upstairs to the apartment. Apparently he thought that pregnant women can't walk by themselves. I didn't care at the moment to tell him I was fine and I could walk by myself, plus it's not even noticeable that I'm pregnant. Maybe he was just afraid of me tripping and falling down the stairs.

When I made it upstairs, Byung Joo was carrying a drunk Xero to the couch. He walked slowly and seemed to be struggling.

I wiggled out of Hansol's grasp and ran over to them. "Here, let me help you Byung Joo."

Xero turned his head to me slowly and flickered his eyes a few times. "Hyein? Is that you?" He asked me.

I nodded my head and helped Byung Joo lay him down on the couch.

Xero suddenly started to cry. I pushed Byung Joo away and sat down next to Xero. I ran my fingers through his hair. "Sh, it's okay, Xero. You just need to sleep, okay?"

He shook his head back and forth. Then his hand wrapped around mine. He looked me in the eyes with his teary ones. "I'm so sorry I let both of us get drunk. I'm so so sorry."

I felt sorry for him, but confused at the same time. What is he talking about? Why is he sorry that we both got drunk? I've never gotten drunk with him before.

"I'm sorry that you can't remember that night. I'm sorry that I forgot to use protection," he kept talking.

I felt a shiver go through me. Then a rush of anger ran through my body. Of course, how could I be so clueless?

I pulled my hands away from him and clenched my fists.

That's when I started to beat on Xero. I hammered my fists into his face and didn't stop. Not even when I heard him screaming for mercy and felt his warm blood on my knuckles.

Byung Joo and Hansol took each side of me and pulled me away from the screaming and crying Xero.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" He kept screaming.

I squirmed in my friends grasp. "It's all your fault, Xero! Shut up!" I shouted at him. Then I gave up and became slack. Byung Joo and Hansol loosened their hold on me. I dropped to the ground and started crying.

The father of the twins is none other than Xero, my husbands adopted brother.
