Gaining a courage to leave a loveless marriage was hard enough, but is it really a good idea to run to your best friend for help? And would you refuse him when he offers you another kind of 'help' when you needed it?

Namjoon helps you as you clumsily wobble your way towards the examination table.
The clinic has always felt cold, slightly forlorn, even. Especially during those times when you were met with the young couples' eyes in the waiting area while you had to be here on your own.
Being inside the exam room hadn't been any easier either. These tests have always been extremely nerve-wracking, when your memories have always filled your mind with all the worst scenarios that could possibly happen to the baby inside you. And it had been harder for you to get through these appointments when you had nobody there by your side, except for the nurses who had been present to assist you.
Which is why Namjoon's presence today is truly making a huge difference to this doctor visit.
His gentle hands feel warm against your skin as he helps you climb your way up the exam table, and with those same hands, he makes you feel safe, as you are able to lean onto him whenever you are losing balance on your feet. You probably would have never made it safely into the clinic if not for his strong arms, when your legs failed you the moment you stepped out of the car, unable to hold the extra weight that you were carrying in your belly.
The scent of his cologne becomes a comforting force against whatever it is that they are putting in the room's air conditioner, making this whole thing feel less intimidating.
And then there is his voice; calm, deep, and soothing, enough to help calm your nerves.
"Are you comfortable?" Namjoon asks you once you have settled down on top of the hard mattress.
"Uh, yeah," you answer him with a timid voice. You hate feeling so vulnerable as you are lying on your back, with nothing but the white ceiling as your main focus during your wait. And despite feeling extremely grateful that you have Namjoon here with you to give him his silent support, it makes you feel quite uncomfortable to allow him to see you like this.
As you turn to look at him, you are beginning to regret agreeing to his request to come with you today. Not because you don't want to have him around, but only because you are currently racking with anxiety and guilt.
Yet Namjoon has been extremely respectful to you and caring about everything, giving you the reassurance that you needed, and the worries in his eyes seem to take a while to wane that you hate to see those eyes filled with disappointment should you push him away.
So you swallow your words and put your discomfort aside, giving him a small smile as you whisper, "I'm good. Thank you, Joonie."
A relieved smile appears on his face as Namjoon reaches for your hand. Gently taking your smaller hand in his, he carefully entwines your fingers together and whispers, "Tell me if you need anything. I'll be right here, Peach."
Feeling like he is about to let go, you tighten your grip on his hand to keep him by your side. "Just stay here then."
There is a voice inside your head that keeps warning you, the same way it always does, reminding you that it isn't your place to be asking too much from him when he already has been giving you a lot. He has no other obligation to you except for being there for you and your baby during this entire process, and you should have felt grateful enough that he has been nothing but supportive ever since he found out about the pregnancy and wanted to be involved.
