Swapped- soonhoon

Chapter 4: Maybe

Jihoon's POV

  Jihoon couldn't believe what was happening at the moment, but the next thing that happened, surprised him.

  "Because I'm the father of Jihoon's baby!" Soonyoung cut her off by telling her truth.

  "What?" Da-in was shocked and wasn't sure she heard right. Her face went pale. "What did you say?"

  Soonyoung and Jihoon looked at each other realizing what the older boy said. Then, while Jihoon looked down to his lap, Soonyoung looked at Da-in straight in the eye and said:

  "I'm the father of the child Jihoon is carrying. That's why, this time, I have a good enough reason to be involved in his decision. If I convince him to keep the baby by the end of the week, I promise I'll take responsibility.

  Even if our parents, his parents, or you don't support us, I'll support him and be responsible for our child."

  Jihoon looked up to see Da-in sitting in the chair with her arms messaging her temples. A long sigh escaped her lips.

  "What were you thinking, Soonyoung. If you let him keep that child, our parents will kick you out of the house. They don't even accept who you are now." She seemed more sad than mad.

  "I know, but I can find an apartment or something with the savings I have in my bank account."

  "Isn't that for your college?"

  "Doesn't mean I can't use it for the baby or for a place to stay."

  Would his parents really throw him out? My parents might not approve of my pregnancy, but they would at least let me live until I could have enough money to live alone.

  "If he gets kicked out, I can convince my parents to let him live with us. My parents have told me that if I end up pregnant they'll allow me to stay with them until I have enough money to move into my own apartment. I'm sure they would be pleased to see the father taking responsibility."

  "That's if you keep the baby right?" Da-in questioned.

  "Yes, I gave him a week to convince me. If he doesn't, then I get the abortion done." Jihoon answered.

  "Fine, but let me ask you a question. How did this happen?"

  This time, Soonyoung spoke up, "We we're drunk at a party, and I know him from school, though we barely talk to each other."

  "Both of you go home." She pointed towards the door then massaged her temples again.

  "But-."

  Da-in cut him off. "But nothing." She said sternly.

  Soonyoung pulled the dumbfounded Jihoon towards the door and through the exit. When they got to the car, Soonyoung opened the door for the pregnant boy, and then he got in the car.

  "I'm sorry."

  The younger looked at the older, who had his head down in shame. "It's ok." Jihoon said.

  "No, it's not. I shouldn't be forcing you to keep the baby. Like Da-in said, it's your choice. I know it's going to be hard raising a child at this age, but I don't know why I still want you to have him or her."

  By now, Soonyoung was crying and hit the steering wheel with the palm of his hand. His head was resting against the wheel while Jihoon stared at him sympathetically.

  "You aren't forcing me you know. Like you said, you are the father, so you have a right. Having a child at this age will be hard. Anyone would think and see that.

  Not only that, the school is harsh with anyone who is pregnant and/or part of the LGBTQ community. However, I don't mind that. I'm a strong person who can stand up for myself.

  If your by my side, I'm sure I'll be strong enough to stay in school and finish my education without being mentally or physically hurt.

  Plus, I've seen the way you look at babies and children. You wouldn't mind having one because you adore them. So, cheer up, will you?"

  Soonyoung nodded his head trying to dry up his tears as Jihoon took him into his arms. The elder rested his forehead on Jihoon's shoulder hiccuping.

  "Thank you."

  "Your welcome. Now, let's go home."

  "Right." Jihoon pulled him into a hug and dried a bit of his tears. When they pulled back, they showed each other a small smile on their faces. Soonyoung then turned on the car and drove home.

  The ride to Jihoon's house didn't have an uncomfortable silence, but rather a comfortable one. They stopped in front of his house, which was a decent two story house.

  Soonyoung got out of the car and opened Jihoon's door. "Can I have one more hug?" The taller looked at the shorter with puppy dog eyes.

  "Sure." They Both hugged each other and stayed liked that for a while.

  "Are you going to keep the baby?"

"Maybe."

A/N: Since my sister got a little drunk, my older sister had to drive us home, but she also had drank. So, when we got home, they wouldn't let me sleep. We ended up sleeping at like 12 or 1 in the morning. When I woke up for school, I had gotten dressed and everything only for her to say: 'We're skipping first period'. I was like ok then-_-.
  I put an alarm for 6:40 and we end up sleeping for '5 more minutes' only to wake up around 7:10. We ended up stopping at the gas station to get orange juice and chocolate milk. The good thing was that my first class was Spanish, which I already know. (I only took it for an easy grade and to get into Spanish I for next year.)
  Thank you for reading!❤️
