THE UNLIKELY ROMANCE [✓]

Departure...

🥺💔🥺💔🥺

After all, she was the one to be blamed.

Rin was feeling the world fall apart in front of her.

Why didn't they goddamn use any protection that night? Why were they so into the spur-of-the-moment?

She face-palmed herself, in attempt to hide from the light.

The test was right. She had taken three, to make sure. All had shown the double lines. Positive!

Yes! She was carrying his baby.

To whom could she tell about this? Her eomma and appa who looks forward for her marriage with Joo Hyuk? Or the one she might soon be engaged with? Or to her friends?

Rin felt the world turning against her.

But she didn't want to loose the baby. It was hers! It was his! All the more reason.

She got out from the washroom, picking up her coat and leaving to downstairs.

"Eomma! I am going to see Taetae!" She called out, before leaving.

"You are kidding me, right?" Taehyung asked in disbelief.

She silently shook her head in disapproval.

"Do you know how grave this is? It's his and yours! You both gave up of each other a long time ago. Now... Do you think he would accept the kid?" Taehyung didn't know what to feel.

Rin looked at her cousin from the tear blurred eyes.

No it was no accusation for his words. It was a plead.

He was angry. He was concerned. He was happy. He was furious. He wanted to destroy something in his seething rage. But he needed to stay sane for her.

In front of him, he saw a Rin that he had never seen.

A dejected, vulnerable, a soon to be mother. Someone who desperately loved, and was yearning for her love. Someone who was helpless. Someone who was in great pain.

She looked so worn out.

"I am sorry Taehyung-ah!" Rin's voice wavered.

Not even turning back, to pass a glance at him, Rin went back home.

Seeing her drooped shoulders Taehyung felt like kicking himself.

She probably came for comfort! And I...

"Taetae! Bon Hwa-yah! Come out!" Rin's mother called in agony.

Hearing her cry, Taehyung and his mother rushed outside.

"What's it, sungmo? Why are you crying?" Tae was concerned seeing his aunt cry.

In a flash, a thought caught his heart in throat.

It seemed as if his assumptions were true, as his aunt's next words proved it.

"My... R-Rin! My baby, she left! She went somewhere! There is no clothes in her closet! She left behind this letter!" The woman broke down on the doorstep, held by her sister-in-law.

"No! No way! Why would our baby leave?" Rin's gomo couldn't believe her ears, as she supported the weak mother in her arms.

Taehyung took the letter from his sungmo's hand, reading it fervently.

Maybe she hadn't gone that far.
