Six months later.....

„Leave it my child , I'll handle it! It's too heavy for you!"

„Grandma ! I can do it."

„No! The doctor said you shouldn't take any risks and take it easy!"

I rolled my eyes and sighed smiling.

„Get some rest Kid!" she patted my head and took the heavy bucket from my hands. I sat down on the steps of my grandma's little house and nibbled on my raffish stick. The last few month were not easy,but I blossomed a little and became more cheerful.

„When do you have to go for your next check up Joy?"

„Tomorrow."

Grandma sat down next to me and sighed. I leaned my head on her shoulder and she kissed the top of my head.

„I know you don't want to hear it sweetie , but..!"

„Grandma please don't!"

„You have to tell both of them!" I lifted my head and I knew she was right . „You'll regret it later Joy!"

I stood up and crossed my arms in front of me . I knew she was right. But it had been six month . Surely they are both over me and living their lives. Grandma also stood up and hugged me.

„At least call Jimin. He should be the first to know.hmm?" she took my face in her palms and kissed my forehead.

„As long as I don't know wich one of them is the father , I won't say anything!" I stroked over my little baby bump.

„You Are really dumb!"she looked at me a bit angrily.

„Grandma?!" she never spoke to me like that.

„Damn it Joy, go back to Seoul and get your messed up life back together instead of wallowing in self-pity here. Aigooooo...!" she waved with her arms and turned around.

„But Grandma..I...!"

„Go back to Seoul Joy!"

„Do you really want me to go back?"

„Yes, I feel sorry for the two guys you blame . You were not entirely innocent. Go back!"

My grandmother was right. I should face my responsibility and get my life together. After all I am going to be a mother and my child has the right to know who his father is. I didn't plan to stay in Seoul for long. If I don't get everything in order within two weeks , I'll go back to my grandmother.

.................

It was a warm spring day and I was sitting in this little park in the middle of Seoul. I was staring at the display of my phone , Jimins phone number we're looking at me.

„What if he doesn't want to talk to me anymore?" I stroked over my baby belly „oh little bunny, what are we going to do?" I gathered all my courage and pressed the call button. I was so excited, felt my pulse beating against my neck.

„Yes?!" I heard his voice on the other end and was unable to answer at first.

„Hello ? Who is it?" 

I cleared my throat.." Jimin?" I stammered.

„Yes?"

„Well, I...it's me...Joy!" I heaved a sigh of relief.

„Oh my gosh Babygirl? How are you? Where are you?" he sounded happy , taking away my uncertainty. 

I told him that I was in Seoul and needed to talk to him urgently. We agreed on a meeting place the same day.
