"I'm pregnant" Hyerin said while holding my hand. 

I don't know how to feel. 

Heartbroken? happy for them? I seriously don't know. 

My bestfriend whom I love with my whole heart got his girlfriend pregnant.

"Woah, I-I don't know how to react" I said while trying my best to keep my tears in.

"I can't keep this child, Rose." Hyerin sighed. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Did you speak to Yoongi?" I asked as shook her head as a no.

"How can you take a decision of aborting the child without even letting Yoongi know you're pregnant." I whisper yelled. I was furious at her, Yoongi needs to know everything.

"I am not going to abort the child Rose. I can't even think of doing such a thing to this poor soul. I just need your little help. Please help me."

"What kind of help?" I aksed her.

"We need to keep this hidden from Yoongi. We are too young to take care of the child, Rose. And you know Yoongi, he has a habit of running away from problems. What if he runs away from me and our child? What if he doesn't want the child?" 

"Yoongi can never-"  "I know Yoongi can never tell me to abort the child but I am just talking about taking precautions." she said cutting me off.

"You should have thought about taking precautions when you both had sex" I yelled.

She hung her head low admitting her mistake. 

I sighed and said, "Listen, I'm sorry for yelling. I understand your problem but tell me how do I help you?"

"I will be gone for nine months, I'll lie to Yoongi that I have a big dance competition coming and I need to go to America for it. You have to make sure that he doesn't find out that I'm pregnant. Instead of going to America I'll  will go to Busan to hide from everyone. Then once the child is born, keep him/her with you for a few months until I get back with Yoongi and tell him the truth."

"Oh....okay...but why do you need to go to Busan to hide?"

"I can't take a risk. No one in Seoul should see that I'm pregnant. The dance companies don't take in women who have children, who are mothers. Right after I get in a company which will take a few months after the child is born, I will take the child with me. Once I'm successful it won't matter whether I'm a mother or not."

There was a pin drop in the empty classroom where only we both were.

"Please say yes, Dance is my dream." she whispered in a soft voice.

and I said yes.

I know how it feels when there is someone standing in between you and your dreams. I would have surely regretted my decision if I had said no to her and she wouldn't have been able to pursue her dreams like me.

I know how my parents are and how they make me feel, and I don't want anyone to feel that pain.
