Chapter 15: House of Cards

"A house made of cards, and us, inside
Even though the end is visible

Even if it's going to collapse soonA house made of cards, we're like idiots
Even if it's a vain dream, stay like this a little more

As if there's no such thing as tomorrow
As if there's no such thing as a "next time"
Right now, in front of my eyes, everything without you
Is a terribly pitch-black darkness

I say it like a habit
We won't work in the end
Even so, I keep hoping
As long as I'm with you in the end as well, I'm okay

Even if I knew already
I can't stop
No way no way no way
As time passes
It just becomes more ruined
No way no way it's collapsing again"

(At The Hospital)

Hayeon groggily opened her eyes and took in the scene before her. She did not know what happened or why she was in the hospital in the first place. All she remembered was the feeling an odd pain and having a odd dream.

"You're up?" A familiar voice asked causing her to turn her face towards the direction of the voice. She was about to scream, but she froze when she saw a young baby wrapped in a blanket in Jimin's arms.

"Wh-what's going on? Who's kid is that?" She asked as she continued to gaze at the child. Her heart seemed to melt as the child's eyes met her own. It was as if there were butterflies in her stomach. Jimin seemed to notice this and smiled at the two, it was as if they were a real happily married family who had just received their bundle of joy.

"Hayeon-ah, this is our child" Jimin whispered, trying not to frighten the child in his arms.

Hayeon widened her eyes in surprise. She did not expect to give birth so soon. She glanced back at the child and it seemed be be in good health and weigh the normal amount of pounds a newborn was supposed to weigh.

"How is it possible? Did I give birth prematurely? But it looks so normal!" Hayeon exclaimed causing the newborn to start crying. Jimin sighed as he picked up his child and held it closer to his chest. He started to sing a lullaby to the child who instantly calmed down.

"Our child is not an it. She is our beautiful baby girl! Look she even has your eyes" Jimin exclaimed as he brought their child closer to Hayeon. All the pent up anger she had seemed to have vanished when her child extended her small arm towards her. Jimin gently sat down besides Hayeon and handed her their child.

"What should we name her?" Jimin asked as he continued to watch Hayeon playing with their child.

"Hmm.. How about Post Malone?" Hayeon asked as she started to giggle. Jimin watched in horror, "NO WAY!"

Hayeon continued to giggle as she watched Jimin's disgusted face. Their child also started to giggle out of nowhere when she saw how her father had reacted.

"Whaa! Jimin look she just giggled" Hayeon exclaimed as he took her child's hand in hers.

"How about we name her Ji Yeon? Depending on how we write it, Ji Yeon can mean the embodiment of beauty or wisdom... And it's also derived from our name" Jimin muttered as he placed his palm over his child's head.

Hayeon nodded her head, "I like that name... Were you thinking about it all night?"

Jimin nodded his head and continued to watch his soon to be wife and child playing with each other. He smiled on the outside, but he could not help but feel that something was amiss. Something was troubling him and he just could not figure out what it was...
