Raising His Baby

First Date

We got to the restaurant and I rushed to open the door. It wasn't anything fancy just a quiet sushi place. I held her hand and lead the way to a small booth in a low lit area. "I know it's kinda simple for a first date is this okay?" She smiled and grabbed my hand from across the table. "It's perfect. I promise I'm happy we came here and all that matters is being here with you." She blushed a little at her own comment and looked over the menu. I don't get how she still makes me nervous. Even though I've known her for years I still don't know what she's thinking. When she disappeared I spent so much money to find her. My guys found her fast and when I saw her again I decided I'd never let her go again. It broke my heart when I saw she was pregnant. I've always loved her and it killed me to see her fall in love with him. We got closer throughout her pregnancy and I was there when she had Jae. "What are you thinking about babe?" Her soft sweet voice washed away my thoughts. "Nothing I'm just happy to be here with you. I missed seeing you and Jae every day." We stared for what felt like hours and I could see love in her eyes. Love for me. "Joey is that you? What are you doing here man?" Our faces dropped and lost all color. No no no they can't be here. Ly tried to hide her face as Bambam walked over to us. We had no where to go and no where to hide. "Who'd you come with man?" He looked towards Lyra and my heart sank. "Noona?" His voice was weak and he stopped walking. She turned to face him and he rushed to her side. "Bambam I can explain." I looked around and thankfully I didn't see the others. "Noona where have you been? Why did you leave? Why are you here with Joey?" His eyes widened when he saw our hands still connected on the table. "You're dating Joey now?" I could hear a hint of anger in his voice, and she tried her best to explain the situation. I helped her give a brief explanation but neither of us mentioned Jaeyoung. I saw Mark walking towards us and he almost started running when he saw Bambam kneeling next to Ly. "There you are we were looking for you. Let's go!" He grabbed Bambam by the arm but Bambam pushed him off. "Hyung look it's..." Mark covered his mouth before he could shout her name. "Joey I think you should go I'll explain it to him. Please hurry the rest of the guys are here." I grabbed Lyra and left some money on the table. I could hear her mumbling but couldn't make out what she was saying. We rushed to the car and when we got inside I noticed she was crying. "Joey did you see how hurt he looked? I let him down. No I let them all down."

Mark POV (1 hr prior)
"Guys I don't want to go lets just stay here and order in. Plus that place is across town we can just go when we go back to my house." I was tired from this afternoons practice and wanted nothing more than to sleep and relax. "Come on hyung I heard Joey telling your parent about his place and we really wanna go... PLEASE." They were all waiting on me so I got up and motioned for them to lead the way. "Yay hurry lets go!" Yugyeom was practically dancing the entire way to the car and we got there fairly quickly. We were waiting for Bambam to come back from the restroom so we could order and he was taking so long. I got up and told the others I'd go look for him. While I was walking around the restaurant I noticed there were different rooms with different themes it seemed pretty cool. I saw Joey in a low lit area and walked over to say hello. I freaked out when I saw Bambam kneeling next to Lyra and tears were building in her eyes. "There you are we were looking for you. Let's go!" I grabbed Bambam by the arm but he pushed me off. "Hyung look it's..." I covered his mouth before he could shout her name. "Joey I think you should go I'll explain it to him. Please hurry the rest of the guys are here." Joey got up and pulled her away. I felt bad she was crying and I knew Bambam would be pissed. He wiggled out of my arms and glared at me. "You knew where Noona was? This whole time you lied to us!" I shook my head and tried to get him to hear me out. "Can we please talk after dinner. I promise I'll tell you everything I know ok?" He pushed by me and walked away. I texted Joey to let him know I handled it and he said he took care of Lyra. Dinner was awkward and when we got to the hotel I pulled Bambam to a quiet vacant area. I told him everything and explained how I found out. "So Noona has a baby? Wait she's dating Joey?" I nodded and showed him a picture of Jae and Lyra. "He looks just like him and Noona looks happy. Hyung we have to tell him. We can't keep it from him." "It's not our secret to tell. Besides she's going to tell him soon she's just preparing herself. I'm not thrilled about her and Joey but they're happy. I know my brother has always loved her and I don't want to take away his happiness." He gave me a look of disappointment. "I know hyung but what about his happiness? You know how much they loved each other." I rested my hand on his shoulder. "Bambam we can't get too involved. Who she decides to love is her decision. As friends all we can do is support her and be there for all of them. Besides he hasn't been single this entire time. How can we expect her to wait for him when he found comfort in others?" I have to be happy for her and Joe. No one else will support them. I can tell they're happy and don't want to take that away from them. "But hyung he doesn't love her! He loves Noona! He's just with her because he misses Noona. If they get back together they can be a family." We all know he'd pick Lyra and Jae over anyone, but I'm not sure she'll choose him over Joe. "Look Bambam I get what your saying, but she's happy with Joe. They're like a family now and things are going good for them. Please just let them handle it themselves. He sighed but nodded and we went up to our rooms. I hope I did the right thing by telling him everything, and I pray he keeps her secret.
