I was a little quite during dinner, taking in what Ari said earlier about her building up a wall. The food was amazing as I already knew, but watching her moan after every bite of her lobster and steak platter, settles a heat in my lower abdomen.

"Mmm, this is so good." She moaned once again.

"Yeah." I mumbled.

"You've been quite, every since I told you about my wall. What's on your mind?" She took a sip of her sugary drink while staring at me.

"I can't help but feel partially responsible for your... change."

"Taehyung, you left okay, the only thing you're responsible for is leaving without saying anything to me... or even checking up on me, but you're not the blame for my barrier okay, you didn't lie to me, all my life, and you didn't marry my ex knowing how much I loved him and got pregnant by him." Her breathing was quick so she quickly calmed herself down.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't here for you." I grabbed her hand making her flinch slightly.

"Stop apologizing Tae."

"I love you Armonie, that hasn't changed in the past few months, I still want to be the person you lean on when you don't feel strong, your rock, how about we take the slow this time, you have no sister or father arranging a marriage for us, it's just you and me." I leaned forward and thankfully she followed my lead, lips meeting each other's. When I pulled away she bit her lip, blushing furiously before sitting back down and looking away.

"Let's go for a walk"

Armonie

"How far out are we? These mountains are beautiful." I said in awe.

"I know, I noticed them on the way back and found them calming."

"Well I agree." I smiled while leaning on the railing. Taehyung followed suit staring at me. "What?"

"So what do you say?"

"About?" I looked at him confusingly.

"About you and me? Giving us another chance."

"Oh..." I nodded while looking down. "I don't know, I mean I'm really enjoying myself tonight but I... I don't know if I'm ready to just open myself up again, right now anyways."

"I completely understand."

"Thank you." He smiled kindly at me before opening his arms for a hug which I gladly accepted, not to mention it warmed me up because it's a bit chilly out. He gently kissed my forehead as we enjoyed the rest of the night in each other's presence.

"I really, really, enjoyed tonight." I said while looking down at my hand in his.

"So did I, hopefully we can do this another time."

"You know, I'm going to take a risk and say I would really like that, how about next Friday, say 10 ish, Blossoms Women's Clinic" he looked at me, very confused. "It's my next appointment, if you're interested."

"You're- you're serious?"

"Yeah." I chewed on my bottom lip. He smashed his lips, on top mine leaving me stunned.

"I would love to." He kissed me one last time before pulling away. "I'll be here at 9... I might be here days earlier, if that's okay with you." I shrugged while unlocking my door.

"Well, I guess I'll see you soon, Kim Taehyung." I walked in the house closing the door behind me, smiling widely. I looked out the window watching him smile back at me before getting in his car and driving away. My phone ringed and it was Nicole.

Eh, I'll fill her in later, I'm exhausted. While throwing my keys down on my coffee table and heading to my room I noticed my window is open.

"The hell?"

"Ari" I jumped holding my belly.

"What the HELL!! You can not keep sneaking up on me. How did you even get in here, I changed the locks."

"Your window was opened." I rolled my eyes while turning on the light. "So you went out tonight." He said more as a statement.

"You know Namjoon, I find it a bit ironic how you always show up when I'm with your brother."

"I heard he was back in town, so I just wanted to come by and check up on you, but imagine my surprise when you weren't home." He shrugged.

"Uh huh, so you took the initiative to climb through my bedroom window like a stalker!" I spat.

"I'm sorry okay." He started to walk towards me. "I should of call or waited til you came back." He wrapped his arms around my waist burying his head into my neck.

"Wha- what are you doing?" I pulled away putting my hand on his chest.

"I missed you Armonie."

"It's been two months Namjoon-

"I know." He cut me off.

"Why are you really here, it's been two months, last time we talked you were a jerk after told you the truth, I told you I loved Taehyung and what did you do? You stormed off, you left and got Danica pregnant and now you're here because I went on a date with Taehyung.. Is this some kind of game?"

"Of course not, I can't come and see the mother of my child."

"And again I say, it's been two months Namjoon..." I distanced myself between us. "Not only have I changed but you changed. I've never thought I'd see the day where you came to me just because I was with someone else, before we even dated you were supportive of my rash decisions in college."

"Ari-

"No tell me, you're not doing this because I saw Taehyung tonight, tell me that's not the reason you're here." I held up my hand, stopping him from coming any closer to me. My voice was cracking and I hate it, it seems I'm not as strong as I tried to be.

"I knew this would happened, I knew you would love him more than me."

"That's not what's happening Namjoon. Yes, I encouraged you to marry my sister, yes I took it upon myself to date your brother. At first it was just a distraction and I'm sorry that I fell in love with him but Namjoon, nothing he did changed the way I felt about you. You did. I can never apologize enough for how I hurt you, because in all of this, you didn't push me to do anything, it's my fault for what happened between us." It's was silent as we just stared at each other. I played with my fingers, deciding now is the time to tell him.

"I also have something to tell you." He waited for me to finish. "I'm pregnant with twins, and one is Taehyung's." His facial expression changed from shocked and happy to confusion and disgust.

"What?"

"I-

"You're mad at me for getting Danica pregnant but you're pregnant by Taehyung and me! I mean that's not possible, they're probably both his! You think you can have it all."

"I didn't know I was pregnant when we slept together, I didn't know that was even possible, hell I didn't ask you to come here, I'm not trying to play on your emotions Namjoon, you came here! Danica is home and pregnant, and she probably needs her husband right now, I have to go to work in the morning so you can show yourself out."

I went to my bathroom, closing the door and sliding down it, waiting for him to leave. As soon as I heard the front door close, I let it all out. I finished in my pockets for my phone calling Nicole.

"Finally you called back, I want to know all about tonight."

"I need you" I sobbed.
