Master or Lover? -Discontinued-

17.

Hyungwon POV

I woke up to an empty bed again and frowned. This is the second time this week alone. Groaning, I sat up and pulled on Hoseok's new grey hoodie before shuffling downstairs to the kitchen.

Like the last two times, there was a note on the counter telling me he'd be back later and that he loves me. It's sweet but my heart still hurts. I sighed and decided to make breakfast for myself and the little one growing inside me.

I'm not surprised I got pregnant. In fact, my great great grandfather got pregnant with twins, and before that I had several male ancestors who were able to conceive. I'm just nervous about how great of an father I'll be. 

I made eggs, toast, and a fruit salad and sat down on the couch, quickly turning on the TV to look at the newest episode of The Alienist. I can't believe how addicting this show is! It was an accident really, I only started watching it because it came on right after Bones and I'm a complete crime movie/show nerd. So when I saw it contained a murder mystery... let's just say it took Hoseok 4 hours to get me off the couch..... AFTER the show was done.

The door opened and the familiar steps of my mate echoed throughout the house, followed by the patter of smaller feet.

"Babe? I'm home!" I jumped up and ran to him, clinging to him cutely. And that is when I noticed the little girl hiding behind him.

She was so adorable, with two thick black pig tails, big brown eyes, freckles, and... a scar on her cheek. I glanced sharply at Hoseok and he winced. He turned to the little girl with a gentle smile.

"Jinnora, will you wait in the living room for me please? Papa needs to talk to Mommy about something." The girl, Jinnora, hugged Hoseok's legs before skipping off in a random direction. I sighed before my eyes widened at the fluffy tail swishing happily behind her in a feline way. I turned back to Hoseok with my hands on my hips.

"Explain please."

"Jinnora was being sold in a black market today, Luhan bought her but she was unable to be adopted at all, she refuses to talk to anyone. The cut on her cheek? She got that when her brother and his friend found out she was a hybrid. They cut her up and kicked her out of the house while the mom was out of town."

"How old is she?" My heart breaking at Jinnora's sad story.

"She is 4, her birthday is September 23rd. Hyungwon, I know we are expecting and everything but I can't just let her go to the Home. No one who goes in there ever comes back out. Please, please let her stay with us." I stared hard at him before breaking into a smile.

"Of course! I always wanted a baby girl! I am gonna spoil her like the princess she is!" With that I turned to find Jinnora staring at us with wide eyes. I walked over and knelt in front of her. The poor things eyes widened in fear and she brought her tail up to cover her eyes.

"Hey, shhh, it's ok. I'm Hyungwon, Papa told you about me yes?" Hesitantly, the little girl nodded. "I'm your mommy, and my job is to make sure you are given love and affection. I'm going to hug you now ok? I don't want you to be scared."

Slowly, I brought my arms around her and tucked her close. Soon, two thin and tiny arms gripped my, well Hoseok's, hoodie, and small sniffles wracked her tiny frame.

"M-mommy, pleath don't leth brover geth me." Jinnora whimpered, showing her lisp which didn't sound right. I leaned back and looked at her. I put my hand under her chin and mimed opening my mouth, Jinnora following my example. My heart cracked as I saw the answer to my suspicion. 

Someone had cut out part of her tongue.

"Hoseok, does Luhan have the name of her biological family?"

"Yes why?"

I turned to him with a dark smile.

"Mia and I are going shopping today, don't wait up for me." With that I brought out my phone and headed to the kitchen. I dialed the number and waited two rings for the person to answer.

"What do you want Bamboo pole?"

"Hey Mia, wanna go hunting tonight?"
