Joo Young's Apartment,

Jennie was still very angry today because Joo Young hadn't come home from the day they had fought. His phone was also switched off.

In her anger, Jennie called Rose. When Rose answered the call, Jennie asked her, "Has Joo Young's been discharged from the hospital yet?"

Rose replied, "No, not yet, but he is supposed to be discharged tomorrow."

Jennie said, "As soon as he gets discharged, tell him to gather details about Joo Young's activities over the past few days-where he's been going and what he's been doing."

When Rose agreed, Jennie continued, "And you also find out and tell me what Jungkook has been up to these days."

Saying this, she disconnected the call.

Jiwoo's Apartment,

Next day, Joo Young was sitting on a dining chair having breakfast that Jiwoo had served him. He couldn't remember anything from the previous night.

Jiwoo brought fruit salad for himself and sat on the chair opposite Joo Young. He hadn't mentioned anything to Joo young about the night because he knew that as soon as he brought it up, Joo Young would get irritated and might leave him. So, he wanted to spend some peaceful moments with him.

He had just eaten a few fruits when he suddenly felt nauseous. He immediately covered his mouth with his hand and ran to his room. Joo Young ran after him. When Jiwoo went to the washroom and started vomiting into the wash basin, Joo Young stood at a distance, watching him surprised.

After a while, when he washed his face and wiped it with a towel, Joo Young, who was standing behind him, asked, "Are you pregnant?"

Hearing his question, Jiwoo didn't say anything and avoided eye contact. He didn't know how to tell Joo Young the truth. He had no idea how Joo Young would react.

Joo Young took Jiwoo silence as a confirmation. He suddenly asked, "Whose child is this?"

Hearing his question, Jiwoo froze.

He didn't know what to say next to Joo young. What must a mother feel when the father of his unborn child asks who the father is? It would mean that he hasn't accepted the child and is doubting its paternity. Any mother would be hurt thinking that his partner was questioning his character. But their case was different because his character wasn't good.

Gathering all his courage, he said, "It's yours!"

Joo Young got even more shocked by his response. For a moment, he didn't say anything. Then he suddenly asked Jiwoo again, "Are you sure it's my child? You've been physical with so many men..." He didn't say anything further. Jiwoo felt deeply hurt by his words, but Jiwoo tried to hold back his tears and said, "Joo Young, since the night we were first physical, I haven't been with anyone else... At the club, I only serve drinks, and because of my job, I always made my male customers use protection... There's no question that this child is someone else's."

Joo Young was lost in thought due to his explanation. Jiwoo's pregnancy would disturb his life. Tomorrow, Jiwoo might demand marriage to give the child a name and could even blackmail him by threatening to reveal his identity. But he couldn't marry Jiwoo under any circumstances because Jennie and soojin were his responsibility. If Jennie found out about this, who knows what she might do in anger?

No, he couldn't afford this child under any circumstances. He said to Jiwoo, "Jiwoo, you know I'm a famous personality... If this news comes out, everything will be ruined." Hearing this, tears rolled down Jiwoo's eyes. He knew Joo Young wouldn't place the child above his career or even that Jungkook.
