ARIA
It'd been a week since my mom tried to bribe my fiancé with seven million dollars. Things were peaceful and quiet again finally, and Jungkook and I were getting more and more excited about going to Jeju Island to celebrate my birthday and commit our lives to one another.
Yet, even as I sat at the kitchen counter sipping my coffee, a sense of unease lingered. My mind wandered, trying to pinpoint the source of it. Was it the stress of planning a secret wedding? The fear of what my mom might do next? Or... something else?
I absentmindedly flipped through my calendar on my phone, searching for anything I might have missed or needed to do before our trip. Then it hit me. My stomach dropped as I realized I was late.
Five freaking days late.
I set my coffee down, staring blankly at the cup. Five days... how had I not noticed? Between the vandalism at Jungkook's gym, that eerie dream I couldn't shake off, and my mom showing up unannounced, everything else had been a blur. I'd even forgotten to take my pill a few times, but I'd forgotten before. It wasn't the end of the world... right??
I tried to shrug it off. "It's just stress," I whispered to myself, though my voice was shaky, not at all convinced. "Nothing to freak out over." But I could already feel my heart racing and my pulse quickening as the possibility became more real.
I shrugged it off again. No, this was ridiculous. There's absolutely no way I could be pregnant. I'm the type of person who plans things like this and... and Jungkook and I have only had a few brief conversations about kids, and we definitely never talked about having them this soon. We're not even married yet!
Oh my God...what if...
"Okay, Aria, before you start freaking out," I spoke out loud trying to talk some sense into myself. "You can just take a pregnancy test to find out for sure."
I jumped up quickly, grabbed my keys, and headed to the nearest pharmacy. The short walk back to our apartment felt like an eternity, every step bringing a new wave of what-ifs crashing over me. What if I really was pregnant? What would Jungkook think? And even worse, what if my mom found out?
Once I got back, I locked myself in the bathroom, staring at the pregnancy test box in my hand. "It's fine, Aria," I spoke again out loud trying to calm my own nerves more than anything and reassure myself that this test was going to be negative and there was nothing to worry about. "You're just being paranoid." But the words didn't make the knot in my stomach go away.
I took a deep breath, then another, before finally gathering the courage to take the test. The three longest minutes of my life ticked by, each second stretching out endlessly as I waited, looking away from the test like it might just explode in my hand.
When I finally dared to look, my breath hitched, and my heart leapt into my throat.
