Saeyoung (707) x MC -- Mystic Messenger Fluff

The Announcement -- Part Two

After you and Saeyoung had finished giving the welcoming speech to the guests of the RFA party, you stepped down from the small stage and were swarmed by your friends.

"I knew it was going to happen sooner or later!" Zen cried, hugging you.

"Is it a boy or a girl? Oh wait.. Its probably too early to know.." Yoosung asked, "Well, what are you hoping for?"

You laughed, "Well, I want a boy, but Saeyoung over here wants a little girl."

"MC. How far along are you?" Jaehee asked, curious but still in a business tone.

"Oh.. Um.. Maybe 8 or 9 weeks?" you nervously laughed. All this attention had made you feel flustered.

"Hey, guys," Saeyoung said casually, "Let's give MC some room to breathe, alright?"

"Oh, like a proud husband.." Zen whispered to Yoosung, who giggled in response. It was like you had your own fanclub.

You noticed Saeran in the corner, and although he was normally shy in public events, he looked as if he felt.. Well, left out. You decided to head over to him to chat.

"Hello, favorite brother-in-law!" you cheered with a smile on your face.

"Yeah, MC.. Hi," he monotonously said, averting his eyes from your own.

"Hey, what's wrong?" you asked, trying to regain his attention.

"Oh, nothing. You know, just.. My brother leads this huge event and doesn't even speak to me about it.. I got invited through that stupid corporate executive.." Saeran, being the edgelord that he is, leaned against the wall behind him, crossing his arms and looking down at his feet.

"I'm sorry," you spoke softly, "He's been really busy.. With his job and all.."

"Too busy to even speak to his twin brother.. Nevermind this stupid party.. He kept a huge secret from me too.. I feel like I should've known that I was becoming an uncle a bit sooner than everyone else.. You know? I'm his brother.." Saeran intentionally said that and you knew it. He was trying to roll a punch at you, not just Saeyoung. "I'm gonna step out for a minute, see ya."

You felt guilty from his remarks, but nevertheless turned around and joined the rest of the party. You walked around, tried some fancy cheeses and greeted some guests before you finally noticed Saeran slip back inside. You gave him a slight smile, trying to stay positive.

"Babe, is something bothering you?" Saeyoung asked as you were staring at your plate, trying to figure out how to tell him what his brother told you.

"Oh, um.. Sorry. I zoned out.." you murmured, then turning around and walking over to Jaehee and Jumin.

"Hello, MC. Is the party going well for you?" Jumin inquired.

"Oh, yeah.. The guests are great. I feel a big donation coming in from a few of them. It'll really go far with this charity," you smiled, getting your mind off of Saeran, "The art gallery I work at attended and they wanted to auction off a few pieces for the next party, proceeds going towards the charity, of course." You became lost in the conversation with Jaehee and Jumin that you didn't realize that it became time to end the party.

"MC!" Saeyoung tapped you on the shoulder, startling you, "Shouldn't it be time to wrap it up?"

"Oh, of course! Where did the time go?"

You walked back on to the miniature stage against one of the walls. "May I have your attention, everyone?" you spoke into the microphone, and the room became silent, "Thank you all, so much, for coming today and donating to this amazing charity we are supporting. The RFA would like to personally thank the Cultured Citizens Organization for donating the most money today." The large room thundered in applause as some members of the organization stood and bowed. "I will pass the mic off to Mr. Jumin Han to end the night. Thank you!"

As Jumin took the stage, you walked to your husband and clung to his arm, kissing him on the cheek.

"Good job today, babe," he whispered into your hair, "The party was amazing."

You smiled back up at him and turned your attention to the various RFA members joining the small stage.

The night after the party
--------------------------------

After a long hot shower, you climbed into bed next to your husband, who was playing a game on his phone. You grabbed a book from your bedside table and started reading it, but after a while you heard the game's annoyingly repetitive music turn off and felt movement beside you. You look up from your book to see Saeyoung staring at you across the bed.

"What's wrong?" you asked, sliding the book back onto the bedside table.

"I could ask the same for you," he replied, raising his eyebrows, "You were acting weird when I spoke to you today. Is everything okay? Did one of the guests say something to you?"

"Oh.." everything Saeran said to you flooded back into memory, but you denied it. You didn't want to worry him. "No, honey. Nothing happened. Maybe I was just in a daze from the baby?"

"Are you sure? If someone said something--"

"Yes. I'm sure," you cut him off, then apologized with a kiss. You clicked off the light beside you, then cuddled up to Saeyoung's chest as he wrapped his arm around you.

As you drifted off into your deep slumber, you couldn't help but think, Is what I'm doing right? Should I let Saeran tell him everything? Or should I at least warn him?
