The Other Woman (HAESOO)[18+]

The Enemy Is Closer Than You Think

-Jisoo's inner voice-
It happened a week ago, after 2 months of being back in the US.

I'm feeling unwell and vulnerable, like I'm not myself. My body is behaving strangely, and my mind is drained. I feel out of sorts in every way possible. There's something off, and I'm starting to panic because I fear it might be what I suspect. It can't be possible. I'm taking contraceptive pills and he used protection.

Maybe it's Daniel's?

One day, when we returned, he took advantage of me against my will. It was the most agonizing day I've ever experienced. He forced himself on me when I refused to have sex. Daniel, I never imagined you could stoop to such depths. That day, you inflicted not only physical pain but emotional anguish. Now, I can't bear the thought of you touching me again. I want you out of my life. I'm terrified of you. I still weep at the memory of that day, haunted by the image of your dark eyes as I screamed and pleaded for help.

I never imagined you could be worse than Heungmin. Despite being a criminal and a vile person, he never violated me in that way. He may have been abusive, both physically and verbally, but he never crossed that unforgivable line like you did.

*ticking clock*

How much longer for the results?

Please, let there not be two stripes showing, please. I can't bear the thought of being pregnant. It would make me the most wretched person alive. I'm already overwhelmed with everything that's happening in my life. Daniel is pressuring me to marry him, and it's putting my job in jeopardy. If I don't comply, I'll lose my job and have to start from scratch.

What have I done to suffer like this?

It seems like I'm truly cursed. Nothing ever goes as planned, nothing turns out the way I hope. Now, holding this pregnancy test in my hand, I can confirm that I am indeed a cursed girl.

I'm pregnant!

Haein's anxiety grew with each passing day as he received no word from Jisoo. He couldn't shake the feeling of unease, desperate to know if she was okay. But more than anything, he longed to confirm whether his ultimate goal of fathering her child had been achieved.

His mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, regret and guilt consuming him for his actions that fateful day. Yet, buried beneath the remorse was a selfish desire he could not ignore - the longing for Jisoo to remain by his side, fulfilling his own desires at the expense of her well-being.
