Second Best(2yeon/Najeong version)

Unexpected Call

Nayeon

" Jinyoung's its fine" I say to him for the tenth time he's upset that I have decided to work solely from home but this was the best choice I don't want to work side by side with him everyday and this gives me a chance to stay home with Emma and the new baby I am now nineteen weeks and staring to feel self conscious around everyone.

" Something's going on with you" he walks over to where I am and looks at me.

Shit he's going to know I have been extra careful about dressing in baggy clothes and keeping everything hidden.

This is Jinyoung the SEAL interrogator the one who knows every trick in the book he and Jeongyeon are cut from the same cloth the last two weeks Jinyoung and I have gotten along really well our divorce is now final and we are both free to move on we have promised each other for Emma's sake to not be hateful he knows where my heart lies and I know he needs to find his.

He's not a bad guy and he never was he was a confused man who made some bad decisions unfortunately for him it cost him greatly cost all of us even with us not being together he's proven to be a phenomenal father to Emma each week he comes and has dinner with us and every other weekend he takes her.

" Please don't Jedi mind trick me I just have a lot on my mind" I try to brush him off.

" No that's not it."

" I need you to stop please" I implore him I don't want him to know before Jeongyeon I don't want him to know at all but there's no avoiding that I am starting to show a more defined bump but today I have a sweatshirt on there's no way he can see my stomach.

" I am just worried" Jinyoung stops and waits.

My cell phone rings stopping this awkward and very uncomfortable conversation I look at the number and I don't recognize it.

" Hello?" I answer.

" Nayeon?" A man's voice I don't recognize asks.

" Yes who is this?"

" This is Yoo Changjoon, Jeongyeon's father I have your number from Jeongyeon's emergency file she sent before she left."

" Oh hello Mr. Yoo" concern sweeps in" Is everything okay?"

Jeongyeon father sighs and takes a long pause" I am sorry to call like this" he stops again and sniffs" I just- I don't know what to do" he says and my heart plummets.

I clutch my throat and Jinyoung is at my side in a moment " What's wrong?" I barely get the words out.

" My wife" he stops and catches his breath" She was in an accident and the doctors.... they aren't saying anything yet but the accident but the accident was bad" the pain is evident in his voice and I feel both relief and tension its not Jeongyeon but this won't be any easier.

" I am so sorry."

" I need her to come home" he begins to cry and my heart splinters into a million shards my legs start to shake I need to sit" She's not going to make it and they said to get the family here but its just me and Jeongyeon left" his voice grows thick as his emotions swell.

" Is she?" Jinyoung says and I shake my head.

" I came help I need some information from you she's out on a mission but I'll do everything I can" tears well in my eyes as I think of how badly this is going to wreck Jeongyeon her sister died and that was horrible now her mother is barely hanging on.

Jeongyeon's father gives me all the information about her mothers condition and where she is I write everything down and Jinyoung rests his hand on my shoulder in silent support.
