CHAPTER 26

               Back in Hana's house . . . .

            “Hana . . . . you're sick. You should be in a hospital. You can't stay here . . . . especially not alone,” Jong Soo said with concern.

            Hana smiled at Jong Soo. “It's all right . . . . I can take care of myself.”

            Jong Soo looked at Hana. He was very worried about her. He was also pitying her . . . . . and her unborn child.

            “I know . . . . I have no right to ask . . . . . But please understand I am very concerned about you. Can I ask . . . .why is the father of the child not taking care of you?” Jong So said as he looked straight at Hana.

            Hana smiled bitterly. “Because . . . we're through . . . .We broke up more than a month now.”

            “Why?” Jong Soo suddenly asked. “Does he know about your condition? About the baby?”

            Hana shook her head. “ No . . . . I never told him.”

            “But why?” Jong Soo asked again. He was unable to believe what he was hearing.

            “Because . . . . I don't want to be a burden,” Hana replied with sadness in her eyes.

            “A burden? But you're carrying his child . . . . He has a responsibility to you . . . . and especially the child,” Jong Soo said.

            “A responsibility . . . . I don't want to impose on him especially when he already has someone new . . . . “ Hana said.

            Jong Soo was starting to feel very angry. But when he looked at Hana . . . . everything changed.

            “So he dumped you because of another girl? And I thought I was already bad . . . . with the way I've treated you. I never thought you would actually  meet someone more evil than me. You sure have such bad luck in choosing guys,” Jong Soo said jokingly. He saw that Hana was already very sad. He didn't want to add more sadness . . . . so he decided to just joke about everything.

            Hana smiled again bitterly. She knew that Jong Soo was somehow trying to make her feel better.

            “Sorry if I've bothered you,” Hana said to Jong Soo.

            “No . . . . you're not bothering me. This is the least I can do . . . after all . . . . you know . . . . the things that I've done to you,” Jong Soo replied with a smile.

            “Thank you . . . .” she softly said.

            “But frankly . . . . I can't believe  . . . . somehow I can't seem to accept . . . . before when we were together . . . . I never ever kissed you . . . . and you  . . . . you just gave yourself to this guy . . . .  How long have you known him?” Jong Soo asked.

            “I've known him for several months now,” Hana answered.

            “Several months? Hana . . . . I'm sorry to say this but how can you be so careless as to just give yourself to someone you just barely met?”

            “I fell in love with him . . . . I love him. . . . That is my only reason for giving myself to him,” Hana answered.

            Jong Soo was very angry with the Hana's former boyfriend. If he was the one who had gotten Hana pregnant, he would surely take good care of her.
