Three months had gone by and Luhan had cut all ties with Hana. He needed time to see if he'd be able to let Hana go when the time came. Keeping himself busy with loads of work he managed to keep her out of his mind most of the time.
"Mr. Lu. I didn't expect you to come today?" A lady greeted him.
"I was in the neighborhood so I figured it would only be right for me to stop by." Luhan greeted as he signed a visitor's form.
"Here you go. She's in the garden." The lady handed him a tag. Carrying a brown teddy bear he made his way into the garden.
"Ma." He walked over to an old woman in her 50s sitting on a bench. The woman smiled.
"Han?"
"Ma. Look what I found." Luhan showed her the teddy bear.
"Oh my gosh! How did you find this? My Xiao Lu will so happy to have his toy back!" His mother cuddled the bear close to her heart. Luhan's heart broke seeing his mother not recognize him.
"Thank you so much Han. You're such a nice young man. I truly hope my son grows to be like you." She held his hand.
"No problem." He smiled.
"So. How is it going with Hana?" Luhan's smile dropped hearing Hana's name.
"You still haven't met up with her yet? You know it's not very good to be separated for so long." The woman patted the seat next to her signaling him to sit.
"I'm just not ready to face her yet. Not after all the things I've come to realized I've done to her." He reasoned.
"Don't you think maybe a simple apology will heal those wounds?"
"I'm afraid it won't." He hung his head low.
"You'll never know until you try." The woman placed her hand on his back and gently rubbed it.
"She's hated me from the moment we met. I don't think a simple apology will work." Luhan said remembering the first time he met her at the club. The two sat there and talked for a while before Luhan received a call to return to the company.
"I must leave now. Don't skip any meals, be sure to take all your medications, and wear warm layers of clothing. It's cold now so drink lots of warm beverages." He escorted his mother into the house.
"Don't worry too much about an old lady like me. I'll be fine." She assured him.
"I must worry. You're my mother." Luhan replied with a heavy heart.
"Well then you be a good son and go home, make up with Hana, and next time you come you bring her too. I'd love to meet my daughter in law." She told him.
"Will do!" Luhan saluted earning a chuckle from his mother.
"I'll take my leave now. If you need anything please feel free to call." Luhan bowed.
"Mmm. I will. Take care." His mother patted his head.
Hana was sitting on the examination chair nervously. The doctor walked in and she greeted her.
"Hello Hana-sshi. How are we doing today?" The doctor asked.
"Nervous." Hana replied.
"Your brother is not here with you today?" The doctor asked.
"He had to work today and everyone else had a full schedule so it's only me." Hana answered.
"Oh. Well don't worry. You can consider me your--" A knock came at the door and a nurse popped her head in.
"Hana-sshi you have family here. Would you like me to bring them in?" The nurse informed her.
"Family? Umm yes please. Thank you." Hana was a bit more relieved. The nurse opened the door wider and in cam 11 suited men.
"Hello Noona." Sehun was the first to greet her while holding a teddy bear in his hand. Everyone else greeted following the young one.
"Uh. Hi." Hana was shocked that all 11 of them showed up to her appointment.
"Are we all ready?" The doctor asked. Hana nodded in reply.
"Can you lay back and lift your gown up please?" The doctor pulled a machine over after putting gloves on. Hana placed herself on her back and stared at the 11 men crammed into the room. Suho faked a cough and turned to face the wall. The rest of the guys caught on and followed. Hana lifted her gown exposing her stomach.
"You're gonna feel a slightly cold sensation." The doctor placed the lubricated apparatus onto her stomach. With some circular motions the doctor found what she was looking for.
"This is the baby. And here is the baby's heart beat." The doctor turned up the volume and a heartbeat could be heard.
"You Guys can turn around." Hana wanted to share the joy with the guys. They all turned around and stared at the ultrasound screen.
"Wow. This is the development of life we are witnessing guys." Chanyeol commented with his mouth wide open.
"The baby's heart beat is music to my ears." Chen whispered.
"Can you believe it? Hana noona has a Mini Luhan hyung growing inside her." Baekhyun commented earning a kick to the shin by D.O. After the full examination they all walked to a nearby cafe for lunch.
"So can I keep that one?" Tao asked pointing to one of the ultrasound photos that was laid down on the table.
"If Tao gets one then I get one too." Chen argued.
"Me too. This one." Baekhyun pointed to the one Tao pointed to.
"Hey that's mine!" Tao argued.
"Hey that's mine!" Baekhyun mimicked Tao's whining. One by one they began to argue over one photo. Kris pushed everyone aside and grabbed his phone out. Taking a photo of the ultrasound photo he sent it to everyone.
"There. Now we all have it. Problem solved."
"It's so cute. We should name it instead of calling it it." Kai said looking at the photo.
"Baby!" Tao recommend.
"That's so mainstream though." Lay argued.
"How about Peanut." Lay recommend.
"Peanut?" Suho lifted an eyebrow.
"Yeh. Because it looks like a peanut. See?" Lay held up his phone and zoomed into the photo. Hana chuckled at Lay's cute gestures.
"Peanut sounds good." She agreed. Hana truly hoped her baby would somehow inherit Lay's innocence as she stare at him engrossed in the ultrasound photos as so were the 10 others. Soon each of them were receiving calls to return to their work.
"Sorry we won't be able to take you home. We all kinda ran away from work." Xiumin apologized as it was only him and Hana left.
"No problem. Thank you for coming." Hana was really thankful to have them with her at her checkup.
It was already 9 pm when Hana walked into her apartment after running errands. It was emptier than ever. Her mother had decided to move to the countryside to get a fresh start with an old flame. Hana stayed behind to keep close to the big hospital as James insisted she stayed to take care of him. She was roaming around the kitchen trying to find something to fix her weird cravings when someone rang the doorbell.
"Who is it?" Hana asked over the intercom.
"Me!" Tao's head popped up from under the screen.
"And me!" Chanyeol popped up.
"Me too!" Sehun followed.
"I have chicken and cola!" Kai lifted bags to show the camera. Hana chuckled and buzzed them in. One by one all 11 guys settled themselves in the living room unveiling plates of food from tteokbeokki to seasoned chicken feet to deep fried chicken.
"Special delivery. Pickles and peanut butter." Suho pulled a jar of dill pickles and a jar of crunchy peanut butter from a bag and opened them.
"Suho hyung did some reading. It's probably not to your--" Baekhyun was cut off when Hana grabbed a pickle and dipped into the peanut butter before putting it into her mouth.
"What did I tell you?" Suho said putting his hands out. Baekhyun and Chanyeol reached into their pockets and pulled 10 dollars out.
"Pregnant women have weird cravings." Chanyeol groaned placing his money in Suho's hands.
"It's not Hana its Peanut." Xiumin laughed.
"Yeah. It's Peanut." Hana repeated what Xiumin said in a cute tone shocking everyone in the room.
"Did our Hana noona just do aegyo?" Chen asked.
"Peanut." Hana pointed to her stomach trying to hide her flustered face. She too was surprised by the actions.
"Peanut. Thank you. We've never seen your omma like this before." Lay directed his voice to Hana's stomach.
"Ashhi! This hyung." Sehun whispered to his phone.
"Yah maknae. Something wrong?" Kris asked seeing the younger one fidgeting with his phone. Sehun showed his screen to the older one who simply nodded.
"Just say you're in Japan or something. You do that to Suho all the time." Kris said out loud making Suho's eyes open wide.
"Hyung. That's not it." Sehun tried to cover is guilt.
"Who wants more soda?" Hana asked getting up from her seat.
"Me!" Tao raised his hands.
"Yah you're supposed to offer to go get it not asks for it." Chanyeol scolded Tao.
"It's fine. Sit. I need to move around a bit. My legs are getting sleepy." Hana told them before leaving to the kitchen.
"Hyung number 2?" Chen asked with a low voice and Sehun nodded.
"Give me your phone." Chen grabbed the phone. Chen began typing something. Lay and Kai sitting next to Chen began laughing.
"Daebak!" Kai tried not to laugh too much. Chen handed the phone back to Sehun who read what the older one wrote. Kris leaned in and read the message as well.
"Hyunggg..." Sehun whined seeing the message. Kris laughed and gave Chen a round of applause.
"What?" Suho asked curious.
"I'm in the middle of getting some. Leave me alone?" Suho read out loud sending everyone in the room into a giggling frenzy as they saw Hana walking in.
"What's up?" Hana asked seeing everyone all giggly.
"Nothing. We just suddenly thought of an inside joke." Xiumin saved the group.
Luhan was sitting lying on his couch bored. He had his returned from a business trip on Jeju Island and had some free time. He tried contacting the guys but they were all busy which was weird because they would always be up for free food. He decided to go out and grab some food since he wasn't in the mood to cook. Opening his closet he searched around for a jacket. He came across a red jacket hanging at the back of the closet. He signed and grabbed the jacket next to it. Walking along the side walk he began to think about the time he walked Hana home. And the time he walked around the mall with her. Shaking himself away from the memories he continued to a nearby cafe where he ordered a pasta. Eating the pasta reminded him of the night he prepared spaghetti for Hana.
"Luhan oppa?" A voice called. He looked up to see Jenny standing before him.
"Hi." Luhan greeted her.
"Luhan!" Another woman greeted him.
"Mrs. Hwang." He greeted Jenny's mother.
"What's a young man like you doing eating alone?" She asked
"I just got back from work and decided to get a quick dinner." Luhan told the woman.
"You wouldn't mind if we joined you right?" Jenny sat down before Luhan could answer.
"No. Of course not." Luhan lied. He would much rather be alone. After dinner Mrs. Hwang left and asked Luhan to take Jenny home.
"Where's your car?" Jenny asked Luhan who was quietly walking.
"I walked. Call yourself a cab." He told her without looking back. She followed him.
"Look Luhan. I know what I did then was wrong. I'm sorry." Jenny apologized.
"Can we just go back to the way things were?" She asked. Luhan stopped in his track when he was reminded of Hana and the burns she got because of him. He felt like was going to go crazy. Turning around he faced Jenny.
"Should we go for a drink like the old times?" He asked. Jenny smiled and nodded yes. They are at the HUSH and Luhan was completely drunk. Jenny was sitting across from him in discuss as he had women all over him. An idea popped into her head. Making her way to Luhan she pushed the girl on top on him away and settled herself on him. Grabbing her phone she took a photo of her kissing him. Luhan pushed her off him and got up when he saw his assistant.
"Ladies my ride is here. See you later." He slurred his words as he walked out of the booth leaving Jenny behind. Jenny followed behind and was met with a driver.
"Young master requested another car for you. Please get in." Luhan's assistant pointed to the car. Jenny was a bit upset about not being able to go home with Luhan buy she had other things in mind.
Everyone was piled over one another suffering from severe food coma.
"We should plan ahead and have healthier foods next time." Suho groaned from discomfort.
"Yeh. If not we'll end up looking like the pregnant one here." Lay rubbed his stomach.
"Thank you for the food." Hana had finished the jar of pickles and was now eating the peanut butter by itself.
"No problem. But I think you should put this down." Xiumin replied grabbing the jar of peanut butter.
"But its so good." Hana whined. Her phone went off as she was about to grab the jar. Looking at her phone tears began running down her face.
"Hyung look at what you did. Now she's crying." Baekhyun scolded Xiumin.
Xiumin looked at Hana.
"I'm sorry. Here. Do you want more pickles? I can get Suho to go get you more." He tried to comfort her. Hana shook her head and turned the screen towards him. It was a picture of Jenny in top of Luhan kissing. A message written on it saying ' You're just like the other girls. He had enough of you and now he's back with me. Get lost.' Xiumin felt a surge of anger build up within him. Hana got up and threw her phone onto the table and left. The guys quickly huddled around the phone and saw the message. Criticisms were being thrown left and right. When Hana came out of her room the room fell into complete silence. She was dressed and looked like she was ready to head out. She was no longer crying her face had anger written all over it.
"Noona where are you going?" Tao asked. Hana silently went into the kitchen.
"Uhh guys." D.O called alarmed when he saw Hana exit the kitchen with a shiny object.Edited: Polarstars
