My palms were sweaty as I walked in the restaurant.

"Kimmie," Felix exclaimed as he saw me. He ran to guide me to my seat. I bowed once I reached the table.

"Hello. Nice to see you guys again," I say in Korean. I'm greeted with hello's from around the table.  Felix helps me sit down and then jumps into his seat.

"I guess this comes as a bit of a shock to everyone," I start.

"Very," expresses an unimpressed Lee Know.

"But we're so excited!" Chan tells me, shooting Lee Know a look. "We actually got you a 'Congratulations' gift!" He pulls a bag from behind his chair and hands it to me.

My shock surely shows on my face as I accept the gift.

"You really didn't have to do this," I smile.

"We know, but we wanted to," Seungmin chimed. I pulled out this tiny onesie that makes me laugh instantly.

"You make Stray Kids," I read aloud, turning it over, "Stay. Aweeeee that is so frickin cute. Thank you."

"We just wanted to show you how happy we were for you guys," Changbin says.

"We needed a baby Stay!" Han interjects. "So happy Felix is taking one for the team." We all laugh at his joke. Well, everyone excepts Lee Know. I don't say anything but I make a mental note to talk to him about it.

"I'm so excited to be an Uncle," says I.N. "When is Baby Stay due?"

"End of August, beginning of September."

"When are you coming back to Korea?" Asks Chan.

My smile is instantly wiped from my face. "Actually I'm not." I twiddle my thumbs nervously, looking down a the table.

"Excuse me?" Felix looks at me, confusion etched into his features.

"I was going to tell you," I say. "But I'm not coming back to Korea." Felix grabs my hand and pulls me from the table.

"Felix, calm down." I try to peel his hand off of mine but fail to release myself from his death grip. Once he finds a secluded corner, he lets me go, his eyes filled with tears.

"What do you mean you're not coming back? How could you not?!" A tear falls and I have to fight the urge to wipe his face.

"I was never supposed to be staying in Korea," I sighed. "I only moved back to be closer to Jackson. After he dumped at the beginning of the first semester, I knew I wasn't returning for the second. I was going to tell you, I just hadn't the chance."

"So then how will I be able to go to doctors' visits? I wanna go to them Kimmie. As the dad I deserve to go. This is my baby too," he cried. I grabbed Felix's face with both hands, forcing him to look at me. I stop resisting my urge and with my thumbs, I wiped his tears.

"I guess I can make some of my appointments in Korea but I don't think it's smart. People can't find out. I told you I didn't want your career to suffer a-"

"And I told you not to worry about that!" He interrupted. "I want to be involved in the entire process! Top to bottom. Beginning to end! This is exactly why I asked you to marry me."

"And this is exactly why I said no. You're not thinking about yourself. I told you because I wanted you to be involved, I'm not taking that away from you, but you don't have to sacrifice your career." I tell him. I pull his face to mine and him a chaste kiss. "At this moment, I don't think there is a better person I could've asked for to be the father of my child. But there, you will be scrutinized and watched. I feel you'll get caught in Korea. Just come here more often."
