Telling The Parents
The Path To RomanceChanyeol runs his fingers through his hair and lets out a loud sigh.
Suho: Go and find her...
Chanyeol: I'll be back soon.
Chanyeol goes out to look for you and eventually finds you standing next to a fence at the park.
Chanyeol: Maeri...
You: Leave me alone
Chanyeol walks over and leans over you against the fence.
Chanyeol: 'No matter what you say, I'll listen'. Tell me what happened.
You: They... They photoshopped my image to make it look like I kissed another guy... *upset*
Chanyeol: *looks up at you* I'm going to find out who did it. And I'll make sure the girls from the shops are caught too. I'm sorry I said I didn't believe you earlier... I was stupid.
You: *pout* I forgive you. You must have been stressed... You could have lost your job
Chanyeol: It's not my job that worried me... It was you.
Maeri: Chanyeol..ah...
Chanyeol: Let's go home *turns to leave*
You hug Chanyeol from behind making him smile and take your hand to walk home together.
A couple of days later you decide it's time to tell your parents. You're going to call yours because they're in another country and Chanyeol and you will go to meet his parents.
Yoori: Are you okay Maeri?
You: I'm nervous...
Yoori: Do they know you have a boyfriend?
You: *nod* They know that...
Yoori: Hurry and tell them. The longer you leave it the harder it will get.
You: *sigh* I can't call them...
Yoori: Maeri~ You have to tell them.
You: How about I just send them a picture?
Yoori: Of what?
You: The ultrasound?
Yoori: Well It's up to you but they'll be calling after.
You: I'll send the picture and a message...
You gather up your courage and send them the picture with a message saying 'Mum, dad... I'm sorry. I'll call you when I'm ready.'
Straight after it's sent you get a call from your mum but you don't pick up.
Yoori: Shouldn't you answer that?
You: I'm not ready to talk to her yet.
Yoori: Arasso...
Chanyeol: Maeri, are you ready? We're going to see my parents now
You: O... I'm ready *really nervous*
Yoori: I'll be in the car waiting for you so don't feel so nervous.
You: Mm, thank you.
Yoori: And if you need me then I'll come straight in to you.
You: *nod* I'll let you know.
Later you arrive at the place you're meeting his parents. You haven't met them before because they live far away.
Chanyeol: Omma, appa, this is Maeri my girlfriend.
CM: It's nice to meet you
You: Nice to meet you too *really shy and nervous*
Chanyeol: Should we sit?
CD: Good idea.
CM: Let's order a drink
Chanyeol: I'll have a coffee and Maeri will have orange juice
Chanyeol's dad goes to order.
CM: So is Chanyeol-ah nice to you?
You: *nod* Always
CM: I'm glad
Chanyeol: Omma...
CM: Mm?
Chanyeol: I have something to say to you and appa...
Chanyeols dad comes back with the drinks
Chanyeol: I want to tell you both something
Chanyeol is holding your hand underneath the table.
CD: What is it?
Chanyeol: Well... Maeri is pregnant...
CM: Omo!
CD: You're dating a pregnant girl?
You feel upset and look down at the ground.
Chanyeol: *nods* I got her pregnant...
CM: Omo! *closes her eyes and sighs*
CD: Is this a joke?
Chanyeol: Aniya...
CD: Is there still time to get it out?
Chanyeol: We've decided to have it...
CM: *looking away* How old is she?
Chanyeol: Who? Maeri?
CM: *nods*
Chanyeol: She's almost 22...
CM: *sighs* She's so young...
You: I'm sorry...
CM: Aniya... Chanyeol-ah should have known better... What's done is done...
CD: I can't accept this. What about your career?
Chanyeol: They told me to take a short break and then return to work. It's already been leaked... Everyone knows but I know you don't read online articles much so you wouldn't have seen it...
CM: There's nothing we can do about it... We just have to accept it now.
CD: *gets up and leaves*
CM: We'll leave for today. I'll contact you both later.
Before Chanyeols mum leaves she takes your hand and tells you to be healthy.
You're now in the car with Chanyeol and Yoori going back home.
Yoori: How did it go?
Chanyeol: My omma is okay with it. Well she's not happy but she knows there's nothing we can do about it now.
Yoori: And your appa?
Chanyeol: He won't accept it.
Yoori: I bet when the baby comes he will.
You: I hope so...
You eventually arrive home and take a shower trying to calm yourself down and think about the future. You relaise that because of Chanyeol's break from work you'll need another job so you decide to start searching for one even though you've been told to rest at home. You need money if you're going to take care of a baby.
You finish your shower and sit upstairs in the lounge room with a mug of hot chocolate, writing down thoughts and notes about plans for the future. Chanyeol then comes up stairs too and sits beside you.
