i was in class, connecting jungkook's computer to the board before we started our presentation, "how are you feeling?" he asked.

"pretty crampy," i smiled. "mostly, i'm just relieved."

he smiled, "good, i'm glad."

"thanks for coming with me." i said. i pulled him in close, wrapping my arms around his torse, he chuckled, wrapping his arms around me too.

the bell rung for class, my teacher came up to us, "okay, who's ready to talk about..."

"medicine in the middle ages." jungkook said. the teacher smiled as he walked over to his desk, "okay, surprise me you two."

jungkook sat down in a desk with his computer, i stayed up in front by the board, ready to present whenever jungkook was ready to pull up the presentation.

i cleared my throat as i begun, "the middle ages was a time of superstition, not science. if you got sick, people believed that it was a punishment for your sins. as you can see in our diagram-"

when i turned to face the board, the presentation wasn't even up. i furrowed my eyebrows and turned to jungkook, "i can't get an interent connection." jungkook sighed.

"um, okay, i'll just mirror my phone." i took out my phone from my back pocket. i connected my phone to the board, ready to go to where our presentation was saved.

but when i unlocked my phone, it showed all the sites i went to to find out about when and where to get an abortion, in front of the whole class.

"danica..." jungkook gasped.

i turned towards the board and gasped. i felt my heart and stomach drop all at once. i panicked and tried to clear all of the sites, but my screen froze, leaving everything showing on the board.

"oh my god..danica-" jungkook got up from his seat.

i disconnected my phone from the board, looking up at the whole class and my teacher, who looked at me with shocked faces. i sniffled as i picked up my things and ran out of the room quickly, embarrassed and ashamed.

i ran into the bathroom, i leaned up against the wall, sliding down onto the floor. i hugged my knees together and i began to cry. what am i gonna do? what are people going to say?

what is seokjin going to say?

i was in the bathroom for a good chunk of class time. until the bell rung, i didn't want to leave the bathroom in fear of all the eyes that were gonna be on me.

i heard the bathroom door open, i saw tati and judy walk in with worried faces. tati sighed, "we've been looking everywhere for you."

"does that mean everyone's talking about me?" i looked up from my knees.

judy bit onto her bottom lip, "i wouldn't say everyone."

i sighed heavily as i hung my head low, "don't worry, we'll tell them it's not true." judy added.

"and even if they don't believe us, we know it's not," tati said. "you had a pregnancy scare. and you wanted to know your options. it's nothing to be ashamed of."

"yeah, it's not like you actually had an abortion." judy sighed.

i scoffed, "and that would be a reason to be ashamed?"

tati shook her head, "no, but...an abortion is a big deal. i mean, you're kinda killing a baby."

i gasped silently, i killed a baby.

"well, technically, it's an embryo." judy commented. more tears just kept falling down my face.

"w-why are you getting so upset? we're trying to be supportive..." tati frowned.

"well it sure doesn't feel that way." i said with harshness. i stood up from the floor, shoving them out of my way as i wiped my tears and walked out of the bathroom.
