Y/N slowly woke from her nap, feeling the soft warmth of the blanket cocooning her and the comforting presence of Namjoon by her side. The nausea had passed for now, leaving her feeling a bit more like herself again. She stretched slightly, her body still a little tired, but her mind already beginning to turn over the realities they were facing.
Namjoon noticed her stirring and smiled down at her. "Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked, his voice gentle.
Y/N returned the smile, grateful for his constant concern. "Better," she replied, her voice still a bit groggy. "Thanks for staying with me."
"Of course," Namjoon said, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "You hungry? We should eat something."
Y/N nodded, realizing that her stomach, now settled, was craving something to fill the void. "Yeah, I could eat."
They moved to the kitchen, where Namjoon quickly put together a simple meal. The two of them sat down at the small dining table, the soft light of the evening casting a warm glow over the room. The atmosphere was peaceful, but Y/N couldn’t shake the thoughts that had been swirling in her mind since before her nap.
As they ate, Y/N finally voiced her concerns. "Joon, we need to talk to our companies about this," she said, her tone serious. "We can’t hide it. They don’t even know about our relationship yet, and now… now there’s a baby."
Namjoon paused, setting his fork down and looking across the table at her. He could see the worry in her eyes, and he understood it completely. Their relationship had been a well-kept secret, known only to his members, and now they were about to reveal not just their love, but the life they were bringing into the world.
"I know," Namjoon replied softly, reaching out to take her hand. "We can’t keep this a secret any longer. But we’ll handle it together, okay? How about we start by talking to our managers? We’ll explain everything, and then figure out how to approach the companies."
Y/N squeezed his hand, feeling a bit of the tension ease at his calm approach. "Okay," she agreed. "We’ll talk to our managers first."
After they finished dinner, they both reached for their phones, their hearts pounding with anticipation. Namjoon dialed his manager first, asking him to come over to his apartment for a discussion. Y/N did the same with her own manager, both of them keeping their voices steady despite the nervousness bubbling inside.
To their relief, both managers agreed to come by without much questioning, though the confusion in their voices was evident. Namjoon and Y/N exchanged a glance after hanging up, knowing that the next few hours would be crucial in determining how they would move forward.
Not long after, there was a knock at the door. Namjoon opened it to find both managers standing there, looking slightly bewildered but concerned. They had clearly not expected to be called to a meeting like this, especially so suddenly.
Namjoon gestured for them to come in, and the managers exchanged a quick look before stepping inside. "What’s going on?" Namjoon’s manager asked, his tone careful but curious.
Y/N’s manager was equally puzzled, glancing between the two of them. "You sounded serious on the phone. Is everything okay?"
Namjoon took a deep breath, steeling himself for the conversation they were about to have. He motioned for everyone to sit in the living room, the tension in the air almost palpable. Y/N sat beside him, her hand still clasped tightly in his, drawing strength from his presence.
After a moment of silence, Namjoon finally spoke, his voice calm but firm. "There’s something we need to tell you both," he began, looking each manager in the eye. "It’s about Y/N and me… and it’s about something that’s going to change everything."
The managers exchanged a quick glance, their confusion deepening. "What do you mean?" Y/N’s manager asked, her brows furrowed in concern.
Namjoon took another breath, and Y/N could feel his grip on her hand tighten slightly. "Y/N and I… we’ve been in a relationship for the past year. We’ve kept it private, but we’re very much in love."
There was a beat of silence as the managers processed this revelation. Namjoon’s manager looked surprised, but there was a glimmer of understanding in his eyes. Y/N’s manager, however, looked taken aback, clearly not having expected this news.
But Namjoon wasn’t done. He knew there was more to say, and it was the next part that would truly change everything. "And… we just found out that Y/N is pregnant. We’re going to have a baby."
The room fell silent, the weight of Namjoon’s words hanging in the air. The managers stared at the two of them, shock and disbelief written across their faces. It was as if time had momentarily stopped, the reality of what Namjoon had just revealed slowly sinking in.
Y/N’s manager was the first to speak, her voice low but steady. "You’re serious? You’re… having a baby?"
Y/N nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "Yes. We just found out today."
Namjoon’s manager leaned back in his seat, clearly trying to process everything. "This is… unexpected," he admitted, glancing between Namjoon and Y/N. "But… you’re sure? About everything?"
Namjoon nodded firmly, his expression resolute. "Yes, we’re sure. We know this is a lot to take in, but we wanted to be honest with you both. We need to figure out how to move forward from here."
The managers exchanged another look, this time more thoughtful than shocked. They could see the seriousness in both Namjoon and Y/N’s eyes, the love and determination that was driving them to take this step.
Finally, Y/N’s manager sighed, her expression softening slightly. "This is going to be complicated," she said honestly. "But we’ll figure it out. We’ll talk to the companies, and we’ll find a way to make this work."
Namjoon’s manager nodded in agreement. "We’ll need to be careful, but you’re both adults, and you’ve clearly thought this through. We’ll do our best to support you, whatever happens."
A wave of relief washed over Y/N and Namjoon at their managers’ words. They knew there were still challenges ahead, but having the support of the people who knew their industry best was the first step in navigating the storm that was sure to come.
As the conversation continued, plans began to form, strategies were discussed, and a path forward began to take shape. It wouldn’t be easy, but as long as they faced it together, Y/N and Namjoon knew they could handle whatever came their way.
