Don't Hate Me but Please Love Me (ChanBaek)

Chapter 9- Carbon Copy

I told Soo everything from what happened on that graduation ball until I found out that I was pregnant. I even told him about my feelings to Chan Yeol and how we met again. I told him about our last conversation and how it ended.

Soo just listened attentively without butting in until I finished my story.

"I know". That is the first words he said before he took a deep breath and continue as he holds my hands. "Look at Taehye she is the exact replica of his father. I may be silent but I am not blind. I just want to confirm it to you since I, no I mean, we your friends did not even had any doubts that something happened between you too. I do not judge you on what happened but I should have appreciated it if you have told me earlier. But it is all in the past and I know it takes courage for you to spill it all out. So what is your plan now?"

"I wanted to tell him Soo, I prepared myself to tell him everything but the moment I saw him I'm so scared. Probably he will not believe me or take away Taehye from me or what is worst he will hate us."

"I think he needs to know Baek. You have raised your daughter alone for the past 7 years and Taehye needs her father too. You have to rethink it over again." Kyungsoo said looking directly at my eyes to make me understand what he meant.

"I know Soo, I know."

Weeks have passed and there was no communication between Chanyeol and Baek. Baek himself is hesitant to text or call him as he doesn't know what to say. It was Friday night when Baek received a call from his mom asking if she can bring Taehye to Seoul tomorrow. It will be a grandma-grand daughter bonding time. Baek allowed Taehye to go with her grandma since he also needs to do overtime work.

-skip to Lotte World Shopping Mall- (wish someday we can go to Seoul)

CHAN YEOL'S POV

My legs are about to break, my back is aching and my hands are already numb carrying paperbags full of clothes, toys and accessories. Today is Saturday and my sister is out of the country so I am left with my 9 year old niece. She has been pestering me to bring her to Lotte World so here I am stuck with this little minion who bossed me around and whined at me to buy this and that. Not that I am complaining, I love my niece so much and she is so adorable that I just cannot resist her. Following the little girl skipping her way from one store to another a kid with brown hair tied in pigtail suddenly bumped into me causing all paper bags to fall.

"Mianhe ahjussi I didn't mean it" a teary eyed girl with brown orbs said to me. I looked at her and my mouth dropped open. The little girl looks like me. Hahahaha how can this be possible she looks a lot like me a female version perhaps.

"It's okay sweetheart," as I wiped her tears already starting to fall. A middle age woman came and pulled her away from me. I can feel my heart stopped as I really have the urge to hug the child as if she is mine.

"Mister is something wrong?"asked the same woman.

"Grandma I bumped into him and crushed his bags. I already said I am sorry."

"No its okay." I smiled at them as I picked up all the bags.

"Uncle, what took you so long? I have already chosen the things I want, you need to pay for them." My niece is one hell a brat. "Oh who are they Uncle? This little girl is pretty and she looks like you hahaha with big ears hahhaha."

"Grandma, can we ask them to eat ice cream with us? This ahjussi is kind enough not to get mad at me. Please grandma?" Looking very cute with her puppy eyes.

"Okay let us ask them first if they will agree. Is it okay for you to join us to have an ice cream? By the way I am Mrs. Byun and this is my grand daughter Tae Tae."

"It's our pleasure and it will be my treat for this cute angel. I am Park Chan Yeol and this is my niece Dahyun." Grabbing her hand to make her stop from moving back and forth to the store.

As we eat our ice cream, Mrs. Byun keep on staring at me as if she is studying my facial features.
At some point I caught her glancing towards Tae Tae with her brows together and in deep thought. Her name sounds familiar too Byun just like Byun Baek Hyun but then there are so many Byuns in Korea.

We talked a couple of times just asking about my job and some about what Tae Tae bought. She and Dahyun get along so well that they even exchange their stuff toys as a sign of friendship. After eating we parted ways. I look back as we walk on the opposite direction I felt something hollow inside of me as if a part of me is missing. Maybe I just feel attached to the little girl. Thinking about it I hope that someday I will have my own babies too just like Tae Tae.

The name Dahyun is from TWICE hehehe my daughter suggested the name. I wanna say thank you to my new reader. Please continue to read and vote.
