Mmhm," he hummed, handing you a glass of water as you sat on his velvet couch, trying to collect yourself from everything that had happened. Jungkook felt the awkward tension suffocating him. When you didn't accept his offer of water, he felt offended. You stood up and looked around, avoiding his eyes. "I'm going to leave. The staff needs you," you whispered.

It was just an excuse to go home. Things were messy, and you just wanted to sleep and forget about it all. "Sure," he said, letting you walk towards the door. "Let me know if you need anything," he muttered. You paused to glance over your shoulder, then nodded and walked out. Jungkook exhaled deeply, running his hand through his hair as he leaned against his table and crossed his arms. He was still processing the information, but it all seemed true.

He remembered clearly that night when the condom failed. "It would've been easier if she chose not to have it," he thought, grabbing his phone and rushing out. He needed some alcohol to wash away the nausea from the unpleasant news that would reshape his future.Jungkook casually scanned his surroundings. No one noticed his disappearance, which he appreciated. Walking through the crowd, he took a seat at the bar and poured himself champagne. He didn't want his staff to prepare his drink and discreetly question him.

He preferred his own space. Slightly slouched, his shoulders felt heavy with the burden he had brought upon himself. You never wanted to tell him about this, but now that he knew, he couldn't let you face it alone, even if you didn't want his help. He was equally responsible for this mistake, and he would willingly help, even if you didn't seek it. Amid the lively music, laughter, and dancing, CEO Jeon sat with unsettling thoughts, feeling anxious as he imagined your state.

Why was he so affected? He could stay out of it if he wanted, but he didn't. That wasn't who he was. Or maybe it was because he had always been attracted to you. Heading home, you had never wanted to be there more than today. The home that usually brought discomfort now welcomed you as a refuge from the tension at the office, particularly from your CEO.

You sighed, ignoring the cramps, and looked at the dark apartment, feeling like that's what you had now. Darkness. An absence of light, a looming tornado of trouble. You wanted to call your mom for help, but it didn't fit the circumstances and might make things worse. Jungkook mentioned he was willing to help, but how? Why would he be involved in this? But at least you weren't alone in holding this secret. You had shared it with someone, even if he might not be the right one. It felt good to open up for once.

You went to freshen up, discarding your clothes on the floor. But you stopped when you saw the ominous spotting on your underwear. The unexpected sight of slightly brown spots sent chills up your spine, freezing you in place. Fear rushed to your face, and tears spilled down your cheeks. Life seemed to be playing tricks on you, but it wasn't funny. It was tearing your hopes apart. You examined the spotting for longer than you intended. Maybe those cramps were a sign, a warning you had ignored. You wished you had gotten checked sooner.

You threw the underwear away and ran into the shower, standing under the cold water mixed with your tears, washing them down the drain. "Don't let it be that. Please, don't let it be that," you told yourself, leaning against the wall and closing your eyes. "You're fine, baby. Of course, you are," you whispered, caressing your little bump, which looked more like a bloated stomach. You spent about 30 minutes in the shower.

Living alone was a blessing now, as your tear-streaked face would have raised too many questions from anyone around. Questions you couldn't answer. You slipped into bed, leaving the lights off. You liked the darkness. It matched your recent days. The bed felt cold, but wrapping yourself in the blanket brought some warmth and relief. You needed a hug, a reassurance that everything would be alright. The idea of pregnancy, a baby inside you, was overwhelming.
