FACE-OFF | PJM

Chapter 29

Exiting the doctor's office, Y/N couldn't help but feel a deep sense of embarrassment as she recalled Jimin's candid question to the doctor.

"Jimin, please," she implored, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, "could you maybe try to be a little less shameless next time?"

Jimin arched an eyebrow, his expression unapologetic. "You think I'm shameless? I was just discussing it with the doctor. It's a common physiological concern for men. As a medical professional, she should understand it," he defended himself.

He continued, his tone lightening, "Besides, I've managed to hold off until you reached your second trimester. Do you really expect me to continue holding back?"

Y/N sighed, her embarrassment still lingering. "The doctor did mention that you should exercise some restraint. If not for your enthusiasm last night..." Her voice trailed off as her face reddened. She cast a quick glance around and lowered her voice, "I wouldn't be in this situation right now."

Her pregnancy had just reached the three-month mark, and she couldn't help but recall the previous night when Jimin had urged intimacy. His eagerness had led to a passionate encounter, and even after the first round, he had insisted on a second.

Jimin, reflecting on his own actions from the previous night, couldn't help but feel a twinge of embarrassment. He realized he had been a bit too enthusiastic and perhaps even rough. However, when Y/N started to feel uncomfortable afterward, he was filled with concern.

Clearing his throat, Jimin said, "I promise I'll try to control myself better."

He gently took Y/N's hand on his own and added, "But the doctor also mentioned that you shouldn't be under excessive stress. It's been three months, and we can resume our normal intimacy. Please don't be so anxious every time I touch you. When you look so scared, it makes me feel like I'm violating you."

"..." Y/N remained silent, taken aback by Jimin's sudden shift in tone. She couldn't help but think that he was unfairly placing the blame on her, even though he was the one who had been brutal during their intimate moments.

Amid their conversation, Jimin suddenly noticed Y/N's silence and the way her gaze remained fixed on a particular corner of the room. A sense of curiosity tugged at him, prompting him to follow her line of sight, but he found nothing out of the ordinary. "What's going on?" he inquired, puzzled by her sudden distraction.

Y/N seemed to snap out of her reverie and without explanation, hurriedly left the conversation to chase after someone. Jimin, somewhat bewildered, followed her and arrived at an examination room where the door was securely closed. He glanced at the door's plaque, bemused by Y/N's choice of destination. "Why did you come here?" he asked, a touch of confusion evident in his voice.

Y/N, her attention still focused on the door, responded, "I just saw Krystal."

Jimin pointed to the closed door with a bemused expression. "You saw Krystal? We're in the gynecology and obstetrics department," he reminded her, as he had accompanied her here many times before.

His words seemed to dawn on Y/N, and she turned to him with a furrowed brow. "Is Krystal pregnant?" she inquired, her curiosity piqued by the possibility of such unexpected news.

Y/N furrowed her brow and shook her head, her expression filled with concern. "I'm not entirely sure, but I've noticed that she hasn't been doing well recently. Every time I've asked her if she's okay, she doesn't seem willing to share anything."

Anticipating Krystal's imminent appearance, Y/N decided it would be best for Jimin to leave. It was inconvenient for him to linger, and she had plans to have a heart-to-heart conversation with her friend.

"You go ahead to the parking area," she suggested to Jimin. "I'll wait for her here."

Jimin agreed reluctantly, his worry evident in his voice. "Alright," he said. "But if anything happens or you need me, don't hesitate to call."

With a nod, Jimin made his way to the parking area while Y/N took a seat in front of the examination room, patiently awaiting Krystal's return. After a brief period of waiting, the door finally swung open, revealing Krystal and the doctor emerging from within.

Krystal's face appeared notably pale, and upon spotting Y/N, her complexion seemed to drain even further. Y/N immediately addressed her friend with a concerned tone, saying, "Krystal..."

However, the nurse gently reminded Krystal of her next steps. "Let's go," she said softly. "The doctor is waiting for you."

Krystal's reaction and the cryptic situation left Y/N even more anxious and determined to uncover the truth behind her friend's apparent distress.

Krystal nodded in response to the nurse's guidance, allowing herself to be led into the doctor's office. Y/N, her worry for her friend palpable, walked beside Krystal, gently holding her hand for support. During this tense moment, neither of them uttered a word, their shared anxiety hanging heavily in the air.

Inside the doctor's office, they observed in silence as the physician reviewed the examination results. Y/N couldn't help but notice that Krystal's palm was slick with sweat, a testament to her heightened nervousness and apprehension.

The doctor, with a composed demeanor, finally looked up from the report and directed her words toward Krystal. "Congratulations, Ms. Jung," she began, "you are pregnant. Currently, the fetus is estimated to be around four weeks..."
