Stealth Love | A Kim Namjoon POV Story

Chapter 5: Offspring

Namjoon's POV

"Jun-seo is our son."

It left a ringing in my ear. Jun-seo is what? Whose son? Our? My son? Her son?

"W-what?" I asked, dumfounded. Did I hear it correctly? What's this?

"I'm really sorry you have to find it this way. I mean, I didn't even plan on telling you...---"

"W-wait. Please. Soo-hee..." I couldn't understand what she's blabbering about. She just continued on talking.

"I was okay being a solo parent. Letting you know was never an option. But---"

"Soohee! Please!" I couldn't help but yell. She stopped immediately.

I looked at her almost apologetically. I took a deep breath to gather my thoughts. When I felt a little bit calm, I straightened my sit and looked at her.

"Tell me. From the start."

It was her turn to let out a big sigh.

"I was traveling the world, learning things from various art collectors, gallerists, curators, and others to be confident on what I want to do with my passion. I told myself, okay, I will stay in Amsterdam for two weeks. The gallery that I happened to find was doing a night exhibit on the last day of my stay there. I got excited. It wasn't a common exhibit.

I drank a little too many that night. I was feeling the freedom I was given. My family has always been supportive of me.

But I didn't know what happened that night. When I saw you, I was compelled to do the craziest thing. It wasn't what I normally do, as you've found out later that night. But there's something that you have that made me do what I did with you.

I wasn't one who gets attracted to guys easily. So what is it do you have that gravitated me towards you?

You know what happened next. When I left that morning, I told myself I will forget about it, about you. I didn't regret it. But it's not something I will do again, that I haven't done again since then.

I had to cut my travel short when I found out a month later that I was pregnant. My family wasn't exactly happy but they accepted me. They accepted and love Jun-seo.

I didn't know who you are. I only know your first name. I didn't know how to find you. And I never wanted to. We were both irresponsible that night. But I didn't want to pour my energy on looking for you to share the consequences. I focused on raising my child the best way that I can."

I was quiet, listening intently on what she was saying. I couldn't believe what I'm hearing. Is this for real?

"Wow...Soohee... I can't...I---... is there a hidden camera? Are you...is this a prank?"

Her mouth dropped open. She looked at me with disbelief, then slowly she bursted into laughter.

"Oh, Namjoon! I thought of the same thing when I saw those two red lines that day." She wiped her eyes then turned serious. "But no. I'm sorry this is real. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry for telling you now..."

I remained silent. I didn't know what to say. What to feel.

What should someone feel when out of nowhere a woman will come up to you and say you got her pregnant and you already have a son who was maybe, almost 3 years old?

What would you think and feel when you spent the last years totally not knowing you were already a father to a child?

I looked at Soohee who was now fiddling on her fingers, biting her lips, anxious on what I had to say.
