"the news"

The sound of chokes and coughs echoed down the hall, followed by a groan of discomfort. Taehyun clutched the toilet seat as he leaned forward in his uncomfortable position and heaved out the contents of his stomach. His stomach churned violently as it expelled all the bile that had been built up inside him throughout the day, only to be forced back out once again with another dry heave. Tears pricked at his eyes as he continued emptying his stomach of the foul liquid that was trapped within its confines. As soon as the last bit was gone from his body, Taehyun fell backwards onto the cool bathroom floor. He wiped his mouth on the napkin which was already soaked from sweat and tears.

He gasped for air as he leaned against the wall with an arm over his abdomen. It felt like someone was pressing against his ribs painfully, like there was something stuck in between them. With every breath, Taehyun felt like he was being squeezed harder and tighter. A wave of dizziness washed over him. He felt so tired, and he couldn't get enough energy to stand.

He closed his eyes as sweat dripped down his skin, leaving a trail down his face. His hand landed on his belly and he lightly placed it there, hoping to ease some of the pressure. The pain slowly subsided as his head dropped lower. He didn't feel any worse than when he woke up that morning, but he just wanted to sleep, wanted everything to stop hurting.

What was he supposed to do? No one knew about his pregnancy. He hadn't told anyone yet because how could he say that he was pregnant with Beomgyu's child? His brother-in-law. It was such a shame. Taehyun didn't even know how Beomgyu himself would react if he found out about Taehyun carrying his unborn child. The thought only made Taehyun shudder. Would Beomgyu be angry? Would he want him to keep the baby?

There was no way Taehyun was getting rid of it. Even if it was the result of Beomgyu's mistake, even if it reminded him of the pain Beomgyu put him through that night, it was still their child after all. Taehyun could feel another life inside him now, and not just physically. Their child had taken root somewhere deep inside him and it was already a part of him. Taehyun already loved the baby, and he wasn't going to give it up so easily. Even if the child's presence was distressing to him and could bring him so many problems, it still had managed to somehow ignite a spark of life inside him. Maybe this was fate. Maybe his destiny awaited him to find love and happiness. Or maybe this was just a cruel joke. Maybe life was playing some sick, cruel tricks on his heart. However, the fact was that Taehyun was willing to not give up and fight for the baby, was...

What was he thinking about?

His mind was fuzzy and he was messed up.

The sudden ringing sound of his cell phone snapped him out of his thoughts. He groaned and stood on his feet before exiting the bathroom, walking up to the nightstand and grabbing his phone. He didn't even take a look at the caller ID, he answered immediately, pressing the phone against his ear.

"Hyung?", it was Huening Kai's voice through the other end. Taehyun didn't even remember when he last heard his voice.

"Yes..."

"How are you doing?"

Taehyun remained silent for a little while, taking his time to let the question sink into his mind, then he replied, "I'm okay. You?"

"I'm fine, Hyung... I want to ask you for a favour"

Taehyun sat on the edge of the bed, a little frown forming between his eyebrows. "What is it?"

"Can we meet today? In a cafe for the evening"

Taehyun had to think for a while. A meeting? He wasn't feeling great at the moment but he still thought it'd be a good idea to meet his friend since they hadn't seen each other in ages. And besides, he had nothing else planned right now.
