The Sexy Billionaire

Twenty Five

December 20th

I waited by the sidewalk to wait for Jin Hyuk to come and pick me up as i shivered beneath my coat. The snow fell nonstop throughout the day and it looked like it was not going to stop anytime soon.
"Hello beautiful," Jin Hyuk usual greeting,"Ready to go?"
"Yes, im starving," i said as i got into the car.
"You sure eat a lot these days. PMS?" Jin Hyuk asked.
"I guess so," i replied casually.
But deep down, i was panicking. I missed my period last month and it have been a month ever since i last spoke to Kim Jong Kook. This morning, in the local newspaper, several ads were congratulating his engagement and marriage with Ye Jin next weekend.
"So, where are we going to have dinner?" Jin Hyuk asked as he drove along the busy street.
"McD's?" I suggested, since i was craving for cheese burger very badly ever since yesterday. This morning, i felt a little nauseous. I panicked as i searched for pregnancy common symptoms. I had been having a few symptoms lately but when the article said it depends on individual itself and for the best result was to take a pregnancy test.
"Are you okay?" Jin Hyuk asked,"You looked very distracted and i wish that i knew what you were thinking. If you have any problems, you can just tell me."
"Im fine," i said quickly,"Im just- there's plenty of work to be done and honestly, my evaluation result will be out some time this week."
"Oh! Congratulations in advance!" Jin Hyuk said,"I knew you'd do well."
"Right, its not even out yet," i laughed at his remark.
"Still, it wont hurt if we celebrate it earlier," he said, with full of enthusiasm,"What would you like to have for present?"
"As for now, i just want to eat and look for a pharmacy and go home," i said,"We can celebrate it this weekend, after the result is out. It wont matter though."
"What do you mean it wont matter? Its a step to becoming a certified lawyer. I wont hesitate hiring you if i were to sue someone in the future," Jin Hyuk said, quite an encouragement.
"How can a doctor sue his patients?" I laughed.
"Not patients, silly," he said quickly,"Who knows, if im divorced and my ex wife demands a little too much, i can sue her right?"
"Depending on what she's demanding for," i said.
That was how our conversation was. I knew Jin Hyuk was trying to cheer me up and i appreciate him for doing so. Not even once, he asked me what was wrong when he saw me crying at the park last month. Its okay, im here, was what he said to me. Cheering me up by all means, he brought me to places which he thought i would love to go and he was right. Each evening, he picked me up from work and just a few days ago, he cooked me a delicious dinner. I was slightly cheerful whenever he was around. But as the night falls, i returned to my room, i broke down over and over again. Self blaming. For falling in love at someone who clearly too dumb to appreciate it.
"Im getting married," his words that he spoke to me that night, it pierced right through my heart and when he left, that was the last time i saw him. I waited for him to come back but he didnt. Kim Jong Kook just left. It was Jin Hyuk that came to me that night. He was the one who consoled me. He was the one who wiped away my tears for several night.
I knew Jin Hyuk had once hoped that i would be his girlfriend but he didnt push me nor force me to accept and return his unrequited love.
I waited for Jin Hyuk to go to back to bed, before i locked myself inside the bathroom with a bag of at least two pregnancy tests which i bought earlier. Reading the instruction carefully, i performed the test with trembling hands.
Positive.
Shit. No. I took another test and again, it was positive. The third, positive. All twenty tests that i took, gave the same result ; positive.
Only God knows how i felt. I walked out from the bathroom, grabbed my jacket and went out.
I went to the park and sat on the wing for the longest time. Im pregnant. I thought to myself. Im pregnant. It repeated by itself in my head and i couldnt help myself but to broke down to tears. Should i tell him? Of course you should, my consciousness told me.
But when? How?
"Hyo Rin?" Jin Hyuk's gentle warm voice called out for me. I watched him running towards me, panting slightly, he knelt in front of me and the next he said was,"You're not alone. Remember that. I told you to tell me if there's anything wrong. What am i here for?"
It was his hug that put me at the verge of tears.
"You could have told me," he added,"I wont judge you. It never came across to me. Not once. So, please, stop keeping it to yourself."
I cried as hard as i could. A month of well kept pain swept away just like that with Jin Hyuk's words.
"Cry, as much as you want. Im not going to leave you," he added again.
Man, this guy really touched my heart. Tears cascaded down my cheeks. And how long he hugged me, i never knew. He looked at me and said,"As for now, you should get plenty of rest. Just tell me if you need anything, alright?"
I nodded and we both made our way back to the apartment. He put his arms around my shoulder and i felt secured. But there was something that caught my attention. I glanced over my shoulder at several trees across the road, thinking that i must had saw someone, looking at the both of us. I dismissed it completely, must be the trick of the snow.
