Hongjoong shot up out of bed on a early Friday morning; he'd felt nauseous all night and now he was at his limit, kneeling in front of the toilet he began to vomit up last nights dinner. They'd eaten lightly,nothing that should have made him sick right? So why was he vomiting at 4am on their day off? Seonghwa; who had heard his lover get out of bed came in a few moments later, kneeling down to rub his back.

"You okay? I heard you run out."

Hongjoong only groaned as another wave of sick came out, his knuckles white as he gripped the toilet bowl. Another set of footsteps approached; a head of newly dyed green hair popping in, "everything okay in here?" Yunho asked. Seonghwa shrugged as he continued to soothe his vomiting boyfriend. "I woke up because he got out of bed, came in and he was throwing up." Hongjoong had finally finished vomiting and sat up, his eyes lined with unshed tears. "I'm sorry, I don't know why I threw up. I've been nauseous all night but I feel better after getting it all out." Seonghwa flushed the toilet for him, moving the boy to sit on the edge of the bathtub as he felt his forehead.

"You're not warm. You could have food poisoning? No not that...did you have a bad dream?" Yunho had moved into the bathroom, digging for the anti-nausea medication they kept around when they needed it. "No, I started feeling sick a couple hours ago. But I tried to go back to sleep thinking it would go away." Seonghwa kissed his forehead softly. "Have you felt this way every day or just today?" Hongjoong shrugged. "I threw up yesterday morning before filming, the staff said if I threw up again they'd take me home but I didn't."

Seonghwa hummed softly; looking towards the calendar, a red dot marking where Hongjoong's period would start and end. "When are you supposed to start your period?" The brunette asked. Hongjoong's eyes moved to the calendar; another wave of nausea ran over him, "it was supposed to start a week ago...fuck!" The nineteen year old cursed loudly. Seonghwa and Yunho both shared a glance; out of all the couples in the dorm, Seonghwa and Hongjoong were the only ones that had crossed into sexual territory. Only once Hongjoong had turned ninteen of course.

"Yunho...can you leave for a moment? I need to be with Seonghwa alone." Yunho nodded, getting up from where he was looking through the medicine. "Yeah sure, I'm going to go back to bed before Mingi has a fit." Once Yunho was out of the bathroom; Hongjoong began to cry softly, Seonghwa moved to sit beside his boyfriend with a worried look on his face. "Baby what's wrong? It's a late period." Hongjoong looked up at him through his tears, "exactly! Fuck...when did we have sex!?" Hongjoong jumped up to head back to their bedroom, grabbing his phone off the nightstand where it had been charging to check his period calendar.

"It was three weeks ago, a couple days after you turned 19." Hongjoong immediately felt nauseous again; his throat tight, "what time does the pharmacy open? I need a pregnancy test. ASAP." Seonghwa's eyes widened, quickly grabbing his own phone to check. "There's a twenty four hour one open close to the dorm, let's sneak out and go." Hongjoong nodded, pulling on a hoodie over his cropped tank top. Seonghwa tugged on his own jacket before taking his boyfriend's hand. Sneaking past the manager sleeping on the couch had been easy; now making their way out of the small apartment they began to walk to the pharmacy, only stopping when Hongjoong had to run into an alley way and throw up once more. Eventually the couple made it to the pharmacy; the lady at the counter greeting them, "what's a young couple doing out so early? Need a plan b? Condoms?" Hongjoong stiffened as he shook his head. "N-no...where's your pregnancy test?" The woman looked a bit concerned before pointing over to the very back shelf, "we might have a few left in the very back, if not I'll give you one from behind the counter. You can take it here for free if you don't feel comfortable to take it home. You two seem a little young to be having a baby." Seonghwa held up hand, "please, we are both nineteen. We'll take it here." The couple moved to the aisle she'd pointed out, luckily there was one pregnancy test available.

"I don't think you should take just one, we'll ask for another one." Seonghwa spoke softly, his boyfriend was trembling. "I know, I'll take this one first then the second." Heading back to the counter the couple paid for both pregnancy test with the very little money Hongjoong had on him. "Bathroom is right over there, please let me know if you two need anything else miss." , "sir." Hongjoong corrected quickly as he dipped into the bathroom, Seonghwa right behind him.

Twenty minutes felt like an eternity; especially sitting on the could tile of a pharmacy bathroom with two pregnancy test sitting on the sink, "what if I am pregnant? We're about to debut and us having a baby will...I already fuck things up by being trans! They'll make us abort our baby! I don't want an abortion-" , "no one is aborting my baby!" Seonghwa stated firmly, "getting rid of our baby won't fix their issues. They'll just have to deal with it." Hongjoong nodded numbly, the timer on his phone going off. It was time to check the test.

Reaching up with shaking hands Hongjoong gripped the test firmly in his hands; looking to Seonghwa who smiled reassuringly Hongjoong flipped over the test, his stomach dropping as anxiety and shock slammed into him at once.

Two pink lines. Positive.

"I'm pregnant." He sobbed, head falling into his folded arms. Seonghwa could only wrap his arms around his sobbing boyfriend as they sat together on the floor. "It's gonna be okay it'll..." Seonghwa's phone began buzzing, their manager was calling. Answering the phone there was immediate yelling, "where the fuck are you two!? You know you're not allowed to leave without a manager present! Get home now!" The phone call ended, Hongjoong was crying harder now. They'd already be in trouble for sneaking out; now he'd be at the center controversy, being pregnant at nineteen right before debut. "Let's go home..I want to go back to bed." Seonghwa nodded, throwing away the boxes as they headed out.

"You two are in so much trouble." Wooyoung laughed as the couple walked through the door, his smile immediately falling when he realized Seonghwa was hiding Hongjoong under his arm. "Hey woah, what happened? Something happened." The boy ran over to check on his smaller hyung. "We had a bad morning, where's the manager?" Wooyoung pointed to the spare bedroom. "Waiting for you guys there." Seonghwa nodded, "can you leave Hongjoong's breakfast in our room? He's going back to bed after this." Wooyoung nodded before heading back to San.

Entering that room felt like entering prison; Hongjoong was tense at Seonghwa's side, Seonghwa himself looked like he was about to wet himself out of fear. "Where did you two go this morning?" The manager asked. "Pharmacy." Was the only answer. "For?" Hongjoong whimpered, he'd have to tell them. "Pregnancy test." The manager got up in a flash, before either of them could register a harsh slap landed on Hongjoong's cheek making him gasp. "You're pregnant!? You're an idol about to debut and you went and got knocked up Kim Hongjoong!?" Seonghwa growled under his breath. "Don't fucking touch him! It wasn't his fault!"

Hongjoong had begun crying harder; the rest of the members pulling the door open at the commotion, "you hit him! You bastard!" Jongho, the youngest at Seventeen immediately swung his fist at the manager, luckily missing. "Jongho please-" Yeosang grabbed his hand trying to keep his boyfriend calm. "You should leave." San spoke coldly, "we will talk to our boss later." The manager scoffed and began to leave. Not before spitting out a , "having a pregnant tranny on the team will bring you all down."

Once the door closed Hongjoong began crying again; "I'm sorry....this wasn't supposed to happen I..." , "hey. You having a baby isn't an issue. We're gonna be the best uncles we can be okay?" Yunho rubbed his back while Seonghwa started at the door the manager left out of. This wasn't going to be good.
