[On Hold] AGE GAP

17. Promise

Today was my graduation day. I couldn't believe the gown was hiding the bump which I have been camouflaging with my oversized baggy clothes since last four months. Someone might ask why my husband doesn't know about it? Well, he was on a business trip of three months and just returned yesterday. I do wanted to tell him, confess him about the baby but he didn't yet came at home. Surely his office was a bit rushed with teh current business deals.

A set of arms got wrapped around me and I was pulled away from the gaurd rail of balcony. "What you doing here? Party's inside." He whispered against my ear. I leaned back and said," It's loud. I wanted a break."

He hummed pulling me tighter against him but his hands caressed my belly. "You did gained weight. What have you been eating? Don't tell me you're on unhealthy street food again!? "

I snickered and replied," I swear I have switched to organic since the day you left. And about the roundness I need to tell you something.."

"Go on, I'm all ears." He said. I turned to face him and stared for a moment in those calm dark eyes that felt like the only home I would ever find myself to get comfortable at. "Jungkook, you are gonna be.. We are... I am.. pre-"

"Oi Jungkookie!" A giggling Taehyung cut me off and hooked his arm around his friend's neck. "Where's washroom?" He asked.

"Hyung, seriously? I've told you a million times that it's on the right side of second room. Argh! Follow me, I'll drop you there." He glanced at me in case if I was okay being alone for a moment and I nodded with a gentle smile.

They left and I groaned at how another chance of telling him just slipped like sand. Another sigh escaped my lips when I entred the party zone where the smell of food and alcohol was making me nauseous. I was struggling to not puke in middle of the dance floor so I went to the farthest corner and sat.

I could see Jungkook talking to Jimin and other people. When he looked around his eyes landed on me, drinking water. He bobbed his head upwards as to question, what happened. I shook my head and mouthed, just tired.

The hands of clock moved at its pace and I surprisingly earned a small nap too. Meanwhile Jungkook was just there talking, laughing and vibing along with keeping an eye on me from time to time.

It was probably late night when I woke up in his arms while he struggled to open the door of the penthouse. I didn't we were already home, he must've put efforts in lifting me because the pregnancy got me more heavy.

"Let me stand." I volunteered. He was quick to open the doors before we entred then locked it back. I yawned on my way back to the bathroom. Taking clothes out of the closet to wear after a shower but got interrupted when a peck landed on my temple.

"Hey, I was wondering if I could work tonight.. Works been busier and I had to get it done for tomorrow morning. Is that okay?"

"Fine but don't overwork yourself." He gave a side hug and went to the living room with his laptop. I also managed to sleep a comfortable night while a glimpse of him could be seen from the wide open door.

Exactly at five in the dawn I forced myself out of the bed and dashed into the restroom, not caring about the metal vase that accidentally fell on the floor. The ring of metal was annoying but the bowel movement along the oesophagus was more forceful that at once I pulled up the lid and dumped everything I ate into it.
