My Downfall | Killers List #3

Vegan

Eunha stood by the door, waiting for her fiancé to return home. He was running late today. He usually would be home by now. He was only a few minutes late so Eunha didn't really mind. She was just anxious and happy for him to hear the news.

Eunha straightened her back when she heard the front door being unlocked. "Your home!" She shouted with excitement.

"Yup, I'm home. Why are you so happy?" He was startled at first but then immediately smiled when he saw Eunha. Coming home to Eunha was the best part of his day.

"I have something to tell you" Eunha had a mischievous smile.

"What? You know I don't like surprises" he smiled as he pulled her closer to him.

"Eunwoo, I'm pregnant" everything seemed to pause for a brief moment. He could hardly believe it.

"You're being serious?" He gulped.

"We're gonna have a child" her voice cracked as she began to almost cry.

"I'm gonna be a father...I'm gonna be a father!" He picked her up in the air and hugged her tightly. Tears were rolling down his face like a waterfall, even Eunha didn't cry as much.

"Careful" Eunha pointed at her belly once he set her back on her feet.

"May I?"

"Of course. It's your baby too" Eunha grabbed his hand and gently placed it on her belly.

His smile was the biggest and happiest smile Eunha had ever seen. It made her so happy that he was filled with excitement upon being a father. He was even more happier which didn't seem possible. It was such a thrill.

"One more thing though" Eunha held up her hand before he went to change out of his work clothes. "We're going to dinner with my friends tonight. They are the ones that will be at the wedding so I figured you should meet them" Eunha smiled. She couldn't wait for him to meet her friends that she had literally experienced life with.

"That sounds amazing! I think I've met two of them" he tried recalling which ones he met but he couldn't think of the name.

"No I think you've only seen one. It was Yerin"

"Yeah now I remember!" He finally remembered when Yerin came over unexpectedly before she went to get Umji's younger sister.

"She can be rude without realizing it but she's also very nice so just don't say anything to her to make her anrgy. She can be very defensive" Eunha warned. She didn't want them fighting right before the wedding in two weeks.

"She's one of those kinda girls?" He raised his eyebrows, it looked as if he was disappointed for some reason.

"That's exactly the shit I'm talking about. Don't say that in front of her, even if it is true" Eunha whispered, afraid Yerin might some how hear them form thirty miles away.

"Sh. Don't curse in front of our child" he put his index finger on his lips and smiled.

"Go get ready" She shooed him away, returning the smile.

The couple held hands while they walked into the building and looked around for Eunha's friends. The group had already got a table for seven. They waved their hands in the air to get Eunha's attention.

"Hey guys" Eunha smiled at them as she sat down.

"I thought there was five of them? I'm only seeing four" Eunwoo took the time to count them individually.

"Oh the other girl went one-hundred percent vegan so we kicked her out" Yuju immediately thought of an excuse. It was quite funny because meat was actually one of Sowon's favorite foods.

"What? No that's not what happened-" Eunbi kicked Yerins foot underneath the table to keep her from talking.

Even Eunha had worry written on her face. This made Yerin suspicious. Why was she so worried about talking about Sowon in front of him? And then Yerin realized. He didn't even know about Sowon did he? He doesn't even know she exist. He didn't even know that Eunha had a girlfriend while she was seeing him. That was shady and Yerin now understood why Sowon was so upset. Even she was beginning to be upset for Sowon's sake.

"That's a bit harsh don't you think?" He was beginning to worry about the people Eunha surrounded herself with.

"Would you stay with Eunha if she was vegan? I don't think so. We come from a home where we love meat! So I don't know, you tell me!" Yuju shouted and slammed her fist on the table to make her argument seem real and not pretend like it actually was.

"I apologize" Yuju definitely made a first impression that he'll remember. She was scary.

"Let's order some food" Eunbi tried to change the subject but of course Yuju would make it resurface in a few minutes.

Yerin didn't even give the waitress time to ask what she was ordering before she already told him what she wanted. The group ordered by going around the table in order, making Umji the last to order. Umji decided to play a little joke on Yuju.

"I'd like the soup but without meat, I'm a devoted vegan" Umji said with a smile as she handed him the menu.

"I thought you guys don't like vegans" Eunwoo remarked.

"Umji how could you?" Yerin gasped. She decided to play along instead of make a huge scene about Sowon in front of Eunwoo.

"Aren't you going to kick her out then too?" He asked.

"Y-Yeah obviously" Yuju stuttered. "I don't understand how you could do this to us. Umji get out!" Yuju couldn't make an exception for Umji, it would be too suspicious.

"What?" Umji didn't think Yuju would take it this far.

"Did I stutter?" Yuju tried to act angry but Umji was making it very difficult for her.

"Yes you actually did" Eunbi commented.

"That's it! You go home and pack your bags. We don't live with vegans" Yuju glared and sent Umji on her way out the doors.

"Wait she's actually leaving?" Eunha watched as Umji left the restaurant.

"Of course! No vegans!" Yuju shouted. Even one of the employees had to tell her to quiet down since she was disturbing everyone.

"I'm sorry, this is so inappropriate of us to be acting this way in front of you" Yerin apologized to Eunwoo. "Let's restart ok?" She had a pleading look. Of course he wasn't going to say no to Eunha's friends right in front of her.

"That sounds like a good idea"
