𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘 ↷ na jaemin.

~ Chapter 66 ~

Jaemin closed his eyes, waiting for the impact of her palm colliding with his cheek. But the pain never came. Instead, it was her hand softly hitting the side of his face. 

Haneul let go of the painful sobs that escaped her lips. She hit Jaemin's chest softly. To be honest, she just couldn't bring herself to do anything at the moment. 

"How could you?" she whispered. 

Jaemin didn't say anything, and just let go of her wrist, intertwining his fingers with hers. 

After a while, the crying stopped, and all that was heard was Hajoon's small voice in the background. 

"Mama?" he asked, getting slightly scared. 

Haneul gave the baby a small but painful smile and took a breath. She stepped back and looked over at Jaemin. 

"I'm just gonna go," she managed to say. 

Jaemin felt tired. Of everything really. He wanted her to stay. But he didn't think she would. No matter how many times he'd ask her.

He let go of his grip on her wrist, as she quickly walked away, and put her shoes on, walking out the door. 

"I love you," Jaemin mumbled, but unfortunately, Haneul didn't hear him. That, or she just chose to ignore his words.

Both would make sense. 

The sudden impact of the door shutting caused Hajoon to start caying all over again. Jaemin quickly walked over to the baby, forgetting for a second that he was still there. 

"It's okay," he whispered into the baby's ear, as he picked him up and started to rock him in his arms. 

But Hajoon continued to cry. 

Jaemin felt a lump in his own throat. Haneul will come back, right? She can't just leave them. But the more he thought about it, will she though?

A scintilla of doubt washed over Jaemin as Hajoon slowly stopped crying. He finally registered the fact that Haneul was gone. And it was all because of Eun. 

She was the only one to blame. 

But his doubt was, did his parents have anything to do with it? The more he thought about it, the more he realized they probably did. Especially his dad. 

Could they possibly have worked with Eun to do this? They definitely seemed like they did. It would make sense anyway. 

Jaemin groaned in annoyance, and sat down, his head dizzy from everything that had happened. 

Hajoon's small snores filled the room along with Jaemin's sighs. He put the baby on the sofa, making sure he was safe, before walking to the kitchen. 

He bent down and picked up the bag Haneul had dropped and placed it on the nearby table. Jaemin also picked up his phone and turned it on. 

He stared at his lock screen for a while before unlocking his phone and quickly going to the contacts. His heart hurt and all he hoped for was for everything to work out, and his and Haneul's relationship to be fixed.

He pulled up the person he wanted to call and waited until it rang. The boy ran his fingers through his hair in frustration and turned around to make sure Hajoon was okay. 

Finally, after what felt like forever, someone answered. 

"Jaemin, what do you-"

"Renjun, I need you, help."

I need to stop forgetting about Renjun smh 😔
