Serendipity KTH

Chapter 9 - The Result

Hani was already there when I reached the coffeehouse.

"You're late." She said, I was about to explain myself but she shook her head. "What's bother— is that a hickey?"

She said looking at my neck. Fuck. I forgot about it. Taehyung placed in front of my neck for everyone to see.

I nodded.

I told her what happened. I told her how we saw each other again everyday. I told him about Jae.

Hani let out a sigh. She's trying hard not to judge me.

"You can tell me what's in your mind, I won't get mad." I said smiling weakly. I was actually waiting for her to be mad so I could feel bad about what happened instead of missing Tae.

"He's not talking to you is that it?" She asked.

I nodded.

"... but I thought you know where he lived? Why don't you go there and asked him?" Hani said.

I didn't answer. Hani started looking pissed.

"You basically got yourself a fuck buddy. Let him put on hickeys on you and now you're a little bit shy going to his house." She said.

"Y/N... this is so not you. All you care about was studies and your books. I honestly thought you have problems filling up your forms or something about your family. Then you came here with a hickey. Honestly, if you're not here. I won't believe anything you've just said. Just talk to him and get it over with. I have to go." She stood up and got her bag.

"Thanks" I told her.

"Sorry for being blunt. I wished you could've chosen Jae. He's... he looks like he would take care of you. I wish someone could take care of you." she said.

"No, it's okay I needed that." I said.

I decided to visit Tae on his apartment. I started to knock but the door is open.

When I pushed there he was. Sitting on their sofa while a naked girl straddling her.

I stood there. Not saying anything but waiting for him to finally see me. When he did, I smiled and went out.

"Y/N!!!! Y/N wait." He came running.

He immediately caught my arm.

"Y/N... wait." It was almost a whisper.

"Wait for what? I thought you don't want to do it anymore because you wanted something more. Looks like I already have a replacement."

I fakely chuckled. He was still looking for words.

"You could have just told me that. You could've told me you found someone else. I can't believe I was feeling bad all day." I said as I turned around.

"Why are you here?" He finally spoke.

"To tell you I'm ready... to date you. It seems you just wanted someone to fuck." I said

He stood there awestruck. Unable to say anything.

I went home. I texted Jae I won't be able to come in because I'm sick and turned off my ringer.

I felt a bit nauseated and slept.

When I woke up. There are a couple of missed calls and messages. All from Taehyung.

Taehyung: Is this true? You really think you love me?

Taehyung: Y/N, please answer.

Taehyung: I love you, too. Please tell me it's not too late.

Taehyung: Y/N please...

My phone started ringing again. I cancelled the call and turned off my phone to yank my sim.

Hani's right. This is so not me. I should just concentrate on my studies. I still have 2 weeks left to get ready.

I went down and my aunt was talking to somebody.

"Wait here, I'll wake her up." My aunt.

"If she's resting, you don't have to. I'm sorry... I didn't know you have a resto..." I recognize the voice it was Jae.

"Hi Jae." I said.

"Hey... sorry for being here. I know -" he said

"Don't worry, come in." I said.

I still feel weird.

"I brought you some soup. You should eat it while it's hot." Jae said.

I transferred it and but was just stirring it.

"He ... the guy... he asked for you. Twice today." He said.

I stopped stirring my soup.

"He asked me if we were dating and I said no. He was asking for your address..."

"Is that the only reason you're here?" I said. I tried to eat the soup but it tasted funny.

"I was really concerned about you. You don't miss your shift. Even if you're sick." He said.

"I changed, is that it. I just don't-" suddenly my stomach became weird.

I threw up. Everything. I threw up to a point that nothing is coming out but my stomach still wants to get rid of everything.

Jae rubbed my back as I vomited. I excused my self and slept again.

What I felt got worse and worse as the day went by. I wasn't able to come in for another week.

School was starting so I forced myself to come in the convenience store so I could take my last pay.

Jae asked me out but since I don't feel well I told him we could just eat in the convenience store so I could go home early.

"He stopped coming here." He said.

I didn't answer him. He gave me a letter.

"He told me to give this to you." He said.

I took it and shred it and throw it inside the garbage can.

"That bad, huh." He said.

Then it happened again. My stomach wants to repel everything. I went to the sink and vomit.

Jae went out. When he came in. He gave me a box.

"You should use this. My sister experienced the same thing." He cleaned up the table and went back to the store.

It was a pregnancy test.

I did what the instruction told me to. And waited for a couple of seconds.

It can't be. Aside from the first time we did it. Tae always pulled out.

Then I realize what a stupid thing to think about that. Of course, I might get pregnant. We never used protection. Not once.

When I looked at the stick. It was there. Two lines. I'm indeed pregnant.
