It Will Always Be You (방찬)

49

(a/n: Normal/English ; Se Rin/Chan/SKZ)

I was so nervous that I kept praying that nothing else will happen. But of course, just when I was wishing for peace, a wave of nausea washed over me. I quickly covered my mouth and ran to the bathroom. I heard Chan running after me. He quickly held my hair up and rubbed my back as I vomited. When I was finally done, he helped me up and then I flushed the toilet and washed up. He handed me the mouthwash, which I gladly took and used. When I got back to the kitchen, everyone was staring at me.

"Are you really pregnant nuna?" asked Felix. I sighed and lifted up the hoodie, revealing my baby bump.

"It's almost 5 months now." I replied. And then I noticed their eyes getting bigger. I covered my stomach again and stared at them.

"Okay! Now that the cat's out of the bag, why don't you guys stop staring and let's eat lunch." Said Chan nervously.

"Oh my gosh! We're going to be uncles!" said Ji Sung. Which took me by surprise.

"Congratulations!" they all shouted. I was so taken by surprise that I burst into tears. And then I felt Chan's arms around me and I buried my face on his chest.

"Hey, why are you crying?" he asked worriedly.

"I'm sorry. I was just really relieved." I replied in between my tears. And then I felt him chuckle. So, I looked up at him.

"Come on, stop crying. Let's eat lunch." He said as he wiped away my tears.

"Okay." I agreed and then he led me to the table and made me sit.

Chan's POV

"Why do you still have words on your stomach nuna?" asked Hyun Jin.

"I think they used henna. So, it'll take a few days to fade." I heard her reply as I gave her rice and put the meat and crabs on the table. I saw their eyes widen.

"Where did all these come from hyung?" asked Min Ho.

"Abeonim gave those earlier. I've already put the side dishes in the fridge though." I replied as I settled beside her.

"What are you guys waiting for? Let's eat lunch." she said and then they went to get rice. I handed her the envelop and watched her put it back in her bag.

"Are you going home after this babe?" I asked.

"Nope. I have to go to work. I have to finish recording some things."she confessed.

"By the way, what are you guys going to do about the company?" asked Chang Bin worriedly.

"Oh, it's all good. They know everything." I replied.

"They know everything?!" they asked in surprise.

"Yes. That's why I've been frazzled all week. But it's all good now."

"But how about your contract nuna?" asked Ji Sung.

"Oh, we re-signed already. They didn't want to let me go. That's why I need to go to work after lunch." she replied, actually surprising me.

"You didn't tell me that!"

"Oops, I forgot to tell you. Sorry." she smiled apologetically.

"It's fine. So, I guess you're driving to work?"

"Of course! I mean, you drove my car here. So, I'm driving it to work."

"Nuna, can we get a ride?" asked Chang Bin.

"You going to work too?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

"I'm not letting you drive. I'll drive. Besides, we're working at the studio today." I said as I ate my meal.

"Okay. And since you're driving, can you buy me some apples and oranges?"

"Sure. Wait, are you craving?" I asked, a little surprised.

"I don't know. I just suddenly wanted them. Maybe I should stop by the grocery before going home."

"What do you need to buy? We literally just bought groceries last weekend."

"I want apples, oranges, pears, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi. I don't know. I'm dying to eat fruits right now." she replied. I made a mental note that I needed to stop by the grocery.

"Nuna's craving!" shouted Ji Sung.

"Here." Said Seung Min who handed her some sliced apples. I stared at him for a moment because I felt touched for some reason. I was grateful that they cared for Se Rin as much as I did.

Se Rin's POV

"Thank you!" I said as I ate a slice of apple.

"Wait, how are you going to get home later?" asked Chan.

"I'll drive the car. I can drive you know." I said as I ate another slice of apple.

"I think I'd better drive you home tonight." He said as he scrunched his face. I could see that he was thinking about something. So, I cupped his face with my hands and made him look at me.

"Babe, I'm just pregnant. I'll be fine. My belly isn't even that big yet. I'll be fine. If you're really worried, I'll just ask Sun Gyu oppa to drive me home. Or I'll ask appa to go to the supermarket with me. Don't worry too much about me. Just focus on work, okay?" I said with a smile. I could feel that he was reassured by my words.

"Okay. Just be careful, okay?"

"Of course! I'll be careful. I won't do anything stupid. By the way, how do you feel about inviting Bam and the others this weekend for dinner?"

"Why so suddenly?"

"I just think we should tell them directly instead of letting them find out in another way. Besides, I kept feeling bad about keeping everything from them since they feel like family too."

"Okay. Should I invite them?"

"I think I should invite them. After all, we'll be eating at home. They'd be suspicious if you were the one to invite them."

"Okay."

"Thanks, babe." I said and then I gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"Ya! Stop being so lovey dovey in front of us!" whined Min Ho.

"Oh, my eyes!" groaned Jeong In.

"Hey, just finish your meal and hurry up and get ready." Said Chan and then we all started focusing on our meal.

I finished my meal first since everyone was enjoying the food. I excused myself first and went to the living room to watch TV. I didn't know how long I was sitting there, or how I even fell asleep. But all I know was that I was suddenly woken up by Chan who was gently shaking me awake. He gave me a peck on the lips and smiled at me when he saw that I was awake. I smiled back at him and stretched my arms. I got up and grabbed my bag before heading out with Chan, Ji Sung and Chang Bin.
