When I thought my life was where it supposed to be, I turned out to be wrong. I'm only 21, my life is at its peak. I'll be graduating college soon, I'll have a job, and have everything that I dreamed of but that changed when the unexpected arrived. 

 

"If this stick turns pink, it means your pregnant." A nurse said before dipping some sort of stick into my urine sample. In a matter of minutes,  my fears came true, the tip turned a bright pink, oh great. 

 

"Well Ms. Choi, you're pregnant" The nurse announced, I laid back on the bed and mentally cursed myself. How can I be so careless? I should have definitely known better 

 

This pregnancy was certainly unexpected, I didn't even know if I wanted to keep it or even let the father know that he got me pregnant, now the real life struggles began 

 

It's been a couple of hours since the visit to the hospital and I've been contemplating on whether to tell my parents first or the baby daddy. Speaking of the Dad, he was calling me right now and I didn't know how to face him 

 

"Hey, is everything okay? I heard you went to the hospital" Minho, the baby's dad asked aka my best friend. Such a twist right? I sighed, should I tell him now or wait? 

 

"Yeah, everything is fine. I just went to check something. That's all" I replied, sort of lying. I heard him sigh in relief, was he concerned about me? 

 

"Can we talk? I need to tell you something" He says, now sounding more serious. I got curious, what could he mean? Right then, I made my decision 

 

"Yeah, sure. Let's meet at that cafe in town, the one where we usually hang out at" I answered, he agreed. We made a plan, what time to meet up, all of that

 

I was honestly scared, what if he won't accept the baby? What will I do? Should I even keep it? I'm lost. 

 

========================

 

The atmosphere of the cafe was different than it usually was, at least for me. It felt tensed, pressured. My heart was already beating as I got here. This is it, the big reveal 

 

Since I was the first one to arrive, I ordered a drink for the both of us and waited at a table, far from the others, more exclusive and private 

 

"Hey" I heard someone say from behind me, I turned and there he was walking towards me with a small grin on his face. I waved back and smiled 

 

"So what is you want to talk about?" I asked first as he took his seat, getting comfortable. I had a feeling this will take a while 

 

"Us" Minho answered me, I was taken a back, I didn't expect him to say that. What could he be implying? 

 

"What do you mean by 'us'" I asked, He looked at me and at that moment, I could've sworn that my heart skipped a beat, what is happening? 

 

"I like you, Sulli" Minho confessed, I was shocked, it was sudden don't you think? I'm even confused with my feelings 

 

"Minho.." I began to trail off, he looked at me sadden almost. What did I get myself into? 

 

"I really like you, don't you like me too?" He continued with wondering eyes, I didn't know myself, everything is going by fast 

 

"Minho, I don't know. Everything that's happening in my life right now is shocking. I'm sorting things out right now. Please, don't add onto that" I answered truthfully, he looked at me confused, like he wanted to ask me something 

 

"Sorting things out? What do you mean?" He finally asked, I sighed. I wanted to tell him about the baby but the what if's are running through my head

 

It was silent for a good minute or two, I was contemplating on tell him now or what, but I thought that if I don't tell him, then when? I was scared of his reaction, heck, I was scared of everything right now 

 

"Remember when you called me the other day and I was at the hospital? In that same day, I found out something that could potentially change our lives forever" I began to say, finally making a decision 

 

"Our lives? As in me and you? What? I'm confused, what are you saying?" Minho asked, looking confused even frustrated 

 

"I'm pregnant Minho, and it's your child" I dropped the bomb, Minho looked taken aback, shocked. He began to sink in his chair, I did too. What am I going to say next? 

 

"How? Is that even possible?" Minho whispered, I took in a deep breath and began to explain. This better be good 

 

"Oh come on, Minho! Don't be so clueless, we had done it 3 weeks ago! Don't you remember?" I practically yelled at him, Minho sat up and looked at me closely 

 

"We were at a party and we both got drunk. And that's all I remember from that night and when we woke up the following morning, you started to cry and told me to never bring that up again." He said, remembering the night, it came to clearly too, how can I be careless? I should have known 

 

"Minho, I'm scared. What are we going to do?" I said in a low voice, my tears were suddenly starting to be filled up with warm liquid, this shouldn't be good 

 

"We? What do you mean we?" Minho said, he got to be kidding me. Is he expecting me to do this on my own? 

 

"Us! Me and you! The parents of this child! Obviously, you'll help me right? What, are you expecting me to take care of this on my own? Are you backing out on me? You're  unbelievable" I shouted, already standing up 

 

"Whatever decision you make, depends on what I'm going to do with this unborn child. It's either were in this together or God knows what" I said, furious. He didn't do or say anything else 

 

I didn't want to face him anymore, I'm done with this. I can't do this anymore. It's either he supports me or I'll do this on my own. Even if this child is unexpected, I'll keep this child 

 

"We're keeping this unborn baby. We made it and it's our right as parents to take care of it even if it was a mistake" Minho said, hearing those words from him made it feel right, I felt my eyes water with tears, why am I getting hormonal so early into the pregnancy, sigh...

 

"That's great, I'd like that. You're right, we made it, we have to be parents to this baby one way or another." I replied, smiling now. The tears didn't fall, which I was glad about, I didn't want to be pitied or what, I'm actually  happy with this outcome 

 

It was a little better than I expected after. Maybe after all, this unexpected pregnancy was a good thing. After all, this is my child even if it was unexpected. At least, the father of my child supports me and I definitely know that he will give his all to this child of ours. 

 

Now that I look at it, becoming a young mom means I get to love my child a little longer even if it was a mistake or an unexpectedly life turning thing, it's all worth it.
