The thought wouldn't leave me.
Every time I tried to focus on anything else—this trip, the confrontation with my family, the plans we were supposed to be making—it crept back in, pulling at me, demanding my attention.
I knew I should tell Jungkook about the baby. He deserved to know. I took a steadying breath, glancing at my beautiful fiancé across the table. He was deep in thought, focusing intently on our plans, mentally preparing himself for everything ahead. And as I sat there thinking about how deeply I loved and adored this man, the resolve I thought I'd built up started to slip. Maybe I should tell him now.
But was now the right time?
I felt so torn about what I should do. I imagined his reaction—wonder and excitement lighting up his eyes, the way he would take my hands, pulling me into that strong loving embrace that always made everything feel... right.
But then I saw something else: the worry, the fear, the questions, the additional weight he'd have to carry on his shoulders, bearing the burden of having to protect more than just me. To keep him from having to, and especially because he always did that for me, this was the one thing I could carry alone just a little longer for him. That way, when I did tell him, that moment would be ours, free from worry or tension. Not in the middle of planning a confrontation and while he was already bracing himself for a fight with my family. If I told him now, with the chaos and uncertainty of this trip to Hawaii looming, we wouldn't get to enjoy the moment the way we should.
For a moment, I let my mind wander to what it would be like to tell him after we'd gotten through this, after we'd stood up to my family together and made it back home. Then, the decision to wait settled over me like a quiet promise. He deserved to hear the news in a place that felt safe, where we could both pause and take it all in together. Once we got through this, once we were back home, just the two of us... with nothing hanging over us but excitement for our future. Then, I could finally let him in on the secret I'd been holding close, and we'd have our moment, uninterrupted, exactly the way I'd always pictured it.
With a soft sigh, I pushed the thought aside, at least for now. This was too important to add any distractions.
"Hey, you still with me?" Jungkook's voice broke through my thoughts, his hand reaching over to cover mine and the warmth of his touch pulling me back to the present.
"Sorry, yeah... just a lot on my mind." I sighed, offering him a small smile.
He gave my hand a reassuring squeeze before kissing the back of it. "I know. This whole thing is heavy. We just need to take it one step at a time. I already reached out to the wedding planner. She should be calling me back soon to let me know what options we have for delaying everything. It's going to be a bit of a mess, but we don't have much of a choice."
