Swapped- soonhoon

Chapter 24: The midwife

Jihoon's POV

  It was another normal day, except today Jihoon was going to a café to meet his midwife. His doctor messaged him about it.

  She said that it would be good for him and the baby what he should look forward to and gave him a list of people with their number, age, and description of how their pregnancy went.

  Soonyoung was glad that he finally had picked one. At the moment Jihoon was being taken there by Soonyoung.

  "You going to be ok going alone? I can tell my boss to give me a day off with you." Soonyoung asked when they got there.

  "No, it's fine. I'm just meeting him, his boyfriend, and his child. Either way, who's going to financially support us while I can't, and I don't always want to rely on my parents." Jihoon said the last part a bit more cheerful with a soft, warm smile.

  Soonyoung just shook his head and drove off after Jihoon got out of the car and into the café.

  The smaller saw someone wave at him. The boy was slender and had a baby carrier with him. Another guy, who had more muscles than the other, was sitting next to him.

  He walked over to them. "Are you Mark Tuan and Jackson Wang?"

  "Mhm." The slim boy answered. "I'm Mark and he's my boyfriend, Jackson. It's nice to meet you, Jihoon."

  "It's nice to meet you, too." Jihoon replied. "So, what do people normally ask their midwives?"

  "Oh, it's fine if you don't know what to say. I was nervous actually the first time I met my midwife, but earlier that day I had prepared some questions."

  "Was I supposed to?"

  "No, it's fine, but I can ask some if you want." Mark offered.

  "Sure."

  "How far along are you?"

  "About five months."

  "Really?"

  "Yeah. I don't know if you can tell, but, if you can't, it's probably because of the loose shirt I'm wearing."

  Mark smiled. "I remember when I used to do that. One day, I was like 'Today, I'm showing my pregnancy'. Of course I was nervous, but everyone would've found out eventually."

  "How did you two meet?" Jihoon said, now being the one asking questions.

  Instead of Mark replying, Jackson did. "I was actually his bully. I'm not proud of it, but, after accepting the baby, we got closer. We struggled here and there because Mark's family didn't support us.

  Later, my parents stopped supporting us financially, so we had to move out. At the same time we had to deal with our colleges, the baby, and work. It's hard, but it helped us mature."

  "Oh, wow." Jihoon said fascinated. "Um... I don't know how to ask this without sounding nosy, so I'm going to be straight forward. How did you end up pregnant?"

  "Well, it was at a party we were drunk. In the morning, we agreed we wouldn't speak of it to anyone. Who knew we would end up having a child and end up dating." Mark said lightly laughing.

  "So, the two of you didn't like each other?"

  "No, we had a rocky relationship before Crystal was born." Jackson responded.

  "By the way, Jihoon, where is the father of the baby?" Mark asked.

  "He had to go to work. He wanted to stay, but I told him to go to work. Him and I agreed to find an apartment to move into because we both feel like we need to mature, and we can't do that if we are still with my parents."

  "Your parents? I'm guessing his parents didn't take it well." Mark said.

  Jihoon shook his head while looking at his lap. "At first, I wanted an abortion, but Soonyoung convinced me not to, even though he knew his parents didn't accept his sexuality and being a young father."

  "It must be hard for him. My parents didn't accept me either, but they gave me a roof over my head the first few months. Then, Jackson's family took me in."

  Jihoon nodded his head.

  "Now let me ask you something. How did you get pregnant?" Mark asked.

  "O-oh, well.." Jihoon's face turned a light pink because of the images flashing through his mind. "W-we were d-drunk at a party."

  Both of the guys laughed a little at Jihoon's reaction, which made Jihoon a little more embarrassed.

  "Do you possibly like Soonyoung?" Jackson asked.

  "N-no, I don't even know him well. All I knew was that he was in my classes for school and that's about it." Jihoon's face was turning red now.

  "Have you asked him if he has feelings for you?" Mark asked.

  "He's told me he has loved me for two years. He's been in my classes for that long, but I never really talked to anyone in my grade." Remembering the time they had spent together, Jihoon smiled brightly.

  "You know," The tallest out of all three of them started off. "There is a chance you might fall for him."

  "What?" The younger said in shock.

  "I fell in love with Jackson, and he fell in love with me. Even after all he's done to me, he's stayed by my side and supported me." The taller responded.

  If you fell in love with your bully, then maybe there is a chance of me falling in love, but...

I'm scared of the future.

  A/N: Hey guys! I have STAAR coming up. By the way, STAAR is like a test that basically tests if you can go on to the next grade. I have one for Math and another for Reading.
  I'm not worried about math too much, but I am super worried about the reading one. I've always had troubles with reading. I don't even know why. It's probably because I always second guess myself. :(
  Thank you for reading!❤️

P.S. I need to start sleeping early. Wish me luck with that, too. :)
