Shihyun is waiting in front of Shian's room after Sooji kicked him out. He knew he should leave, but he's too worried about Shian. How can he go home knowing that Shian still laying on a hospital bed?
"Shihyun?", someone calls his name. He looks up and saw Sooji's mom. "What are you doing here? Why didn't you wait inside?"
"Oh...it's just...", Shihyun doesn't know how to explain it.
"Sooji is mad at you, isn't she?", she asks knowingly. Sooji's mom was the first person he met when he brought Shian's here. She knew the story already.
"More like furious...", Shihyun shrugs.
Sooji's mom chuckles. "Sooji tends to be overprotective with Shian..."
"Is he going to be okay??" , Shihyun asks worriedly.
"Don't worry...Shian will be fine...he can go home tonight..."
"Thank God...", he sighs in relief.
"You should go home too..."
"But..."
"I'll let you know if something happens to Shian...", Sooji's mom assures him.
"Okay...", Shihyun agrees. Because there's nothing he can do here. But there's something bothering him. They way Sooji's mom looks at him. Is it pitty? Empathy? But why?
================
Shihyun rested his head on Sooji's forehead. Panting, still overwhelmed with what he had just felt.
"I love you...", he faintly heard Sooji whispered that words before he collapsed to her side.
Shihyun opens his eyes instantly. He looks at his side of his bed. It's empty. Just like eight years ago. The difference is something really happened eight year's ago. And it wasn't just a dream. Why did he keep dreaming that recently? It's torture.
"Were you trying to kill your own son?!"
Shihyun closes his eyes. Sooji's words are ringing in his head again. He didn't miss heard her, did he?? But it's impossible, right? They just did that once.
"You two eat like pabo..."
"Shian loves to draw more..."
"He looks exactly like his Dad..."
All those words keep popping up in his head. He realized that somehow he has a lot of resemblance with Shian. Is it just a coincidence?
Shian's eight birthday is next month. That means Sooji was pregnant eight years ago. Before she went to New York.
"It's just one-night stand..."
Before she went to New York. They had sex a few months before she went to New York.
Before she went to New York.
The realisation slowly dawns on him. Oh, God! Is Shian really his son???
===============
Sooji just comes out from her music school building when Shihyun suddenly shows up in front of her. "What are you doing here?"
"We need to talk.", Shihyun asks coldly.
"I need to pick up Shian...", Sooji ignores him. She wants to walk out but Shihyun stops her.
"I already ask Sejoo to picks him up."
"Who gave you the right to do that?", Sooji was annoyed at him. She takes her phone and calls Sejoo.
"Yoboseyo...", Sejoo picks up on the first ring.
"Where are you?"
"On my way picking up Shian..."
