the doctor performed a pelvic exam and an ultrasound to further confirm the miscarriage. hoseok's eyes pricked with tears, threatening to fall. lana was propped up on the patient bed with hoseok tightly holding her hand as he stood up.

"i'm sorry." lana apologised, breaking the poisonous silence that forcefully lingered in the air.

"for what?" still, hoseok felt ashamed to look at her square in the eye so he turned away, looking directly at his fingers that were intertwined with hers.

"everything. our arguments, not giving you a baby. not being good enough." she whispered.

"no, don't be like this." hoseok closed his eyes.

"like what, hoseok?" lana raised her voice slightly since they were in the room alone. "we've had a miscarriage twice. twice hoseok." she sobbed into his shoulder.

"baby, we can always try again and if it still doesn't work we can always adopt. it's not your fault so don't you dare blame yourself lalana." this time hoseok locked eyes with hers, not looking away.

"when was the last time you called me lalana?" lana chuckled lightly.

"it's been a long time." hoseok kissed her cheek. "we'll be okay." he helped her off the bed. "i promise." once again, he peppered her entire forehead with butterfly kisses as she giggled.

"we'll be okay." lana repeated with a smile on her face. "as long as you buy me mcdonalds." she added on.

"you cheeky little.."

lana gasped. "you cheeky little what?"

"i wasn't gonna say anything."

"hoseok."

"you cheeky little princess." he picked her up and put her in the car. after going back to the drivers seat, he turned to the side and kissed her on the lips.

"i still want mcdonalds." lana said, breaking the kiss.

"whatever you want."
