Our Babies (ATEEZHongjoongFF)

CHAPTER 37

"Hongjoong..." Jiyeon almost burst into tears. She expected the result to be like this but she also hoped it was not true.

"Jiyeon, it's okay." Hongjoong hugged her tightly as he saw Jiyeon's reaction.

Jiyeon held the test kits in her hand. It shows she's positive pregnant.

"What's okay? I'm not okay."

"Baby, I'm here. I will not leave you."

"It's not the problem."

"Then, what is it?" Hongjoong pulled off the hug.

"I don't think I'm ready for this. I'm not ready to get pregnant and give birth, Hongjoong."

"But you're already pregnant."

Jiyeon glared at him. "I'm not ready for the pregnancy journey, I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of? Tell me princess." Hongjoong holds both of her hands.

"I don't know. I always said I didn't want to get pregnant and give birth, but now here I am."

"Do you think it scratches your dignity?"

Jiyeon was silent, she just stared at her feet. "And how do I explain to the kids and my parents? I-" She sighed.

"We will explain to them and I think they will understand. Baby, listen, we did it together so we're gonna do this together. I will not let you feel burdened and stressed about this. But I also respect your decision." Hongjoong said the last sentence in a slower tone.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean if you don't want this baby, we can abort it. You don't have to force yourself to accept and keep this baby. It's your body and you have a right to your body. I also don't want you to feel burdened and forced to keep this baby." His face turned gloomy.

Jiyeon looked at Hongjoong. "You look happy when the result is positive."

"Yes I admit I am, of course I am happy. You are pregnant with my baby, but still, it's your choice. I will follow whatever you decide." He showed a thin smile.

"I'm afraid for this journey but I'm more afraid to undergo the abortion process. It's scary."

"Are you...?"

"Yes, I'll keep this baby. After all this is my baby too, I don't want to do that to my baby. My kids were abandoned by their families, I don't want the same thing happen to my own baby. More worse, I'd throw him or her away before he or her was even born."

Hongjoong smiled widely. "Thank you, Jiyeon." He kissed his forehead.

"Are you happy?"

"I'm so happy. I'm the happiest person in the world right now."

Jiyeon smiled then she stroked her belly. "We need to tell my parents and kids as soon as possible."

"How about invite your parents for dinner tomorrow and we tell them together."

"Great idea." Jiyeon then cleaned the counter and suddenly Hongjoong hugged her from back.

"Jiyeon."

"Huh?"

"I love you." He confessed to her.

Jiyeon's hand stopped. "It's okay, no need to answer or respond anything. I just want to let out what has been stored in my heart for a long time." He continued.

"I-I love you too, Hongjoong." She said slowly.

"Seriously? Are you not kidding me right?" Hongjoong grinned.
