Breathe in. Breathe out. Oh my God. I can’t relax. How am I gonna start the conversation with my parents? How should I tell them? ‘Mom, I’m pregnant and this jerk is the father?’ , ‘Mom, dad I’m having a baby and he’s the damn father of my offspring.’. Oh no. No. It’s almost 6 pm and I haven’t received a text message from Jonghyun. Is he ditching me with the plan? That should show his ugly face or I’ll tear him apart.   My phone beeped. He texted! Oh thank God!   ‘Ya. I’m on my way there.’    Now I can think straight but I’m too nervous. I’m shaking and I think I need some water. Lots of it! I have to get myself ready for every painful word my parents are going to say when I tell them about this.   05:59 PM. It’s a minute before 6 PM already. Where’s Jonghyun?!   It’s 6 PM now! Oh no! it’s time. I feel like fainting. God damn it! Relax Eun Na!    Jonghyun texted again.   ‘I’m here.’    I rushed downstairs immediately after reading the text and I found him standing outside the lobby. I wonder what his decision is about the marrying thing I proposed last night. I bet it’s a no.   “Ya. Jonghyun.”   “Oh. You’re here and still you don’t look pregnant at all. Are you sure you’re not lying?”   “Shut up. It’s only been a month of course I won’t look like I’m pregnant. Wait for the 9th month and you’ll see. Now come on stupid get ready for your worst nightmare. I mean our worst nightmare.”   He stopped me while we were about to walk. “Oh before anything else, we’re going to tell my parents tonight too. I’ve decided.” So he decided to tell them too eh?   “Okay. Did you tell Myung Soo already?”   “No I didn’t. He’s gonna kill me. We should tell him ourselves.”   “Okay. Come on. My parents are waiting for the big surprise! Yey!” I faked that. There’s no way I’m getting extremely happy with my situation. I will never be happy!    ---   “Are you ready?” I asked him nervously.   “I think I should ask you that question. Are you ready?” I closed my eyes and breathe in deeply.   “They’re gonna kill me but we have to do this. I can’t undo what’s been done and I’m telling them the truth. I’m going to tell them you’re my boyrfriend okay?. You don’t want them to think you me now, do you? So might as well go with the flow. Okay?”    “As much as I don’t want to, looks like I don’t have a choice.”   “Hey if you’re not willing to do this with me, you might as well not do it. I don’t want you to leave me and this new human hanging after we tell them. You should take responsibility!”   “I know I know! Aish. Shut your mouth and let’s get this over with.”   ---   “Mom! Dad! I brought someone here!”   “Who?” my dad came out of the kitchen and as soon as he saw Jonghyun he folded his arms. Oh shoot. I knew this was coming.   “Umm. Jonghyun, this is my dad. Dad, this is uhh Kim Jonghyun. M-my b-boyfriend.” Ugh. I wanna barf saying it. Yuck! Goodbye good life hello hell!   “Goodevening sir.” Jonghyun said respectfully.   “Eun Na. You didn’t tell me you had a boyfriend.” Dad said. I don’t know if he’s mad now.   “I’m sorry dad. I was actually keeping it all a secret from you and mom and today’s the right time to introduce him. Right? Jonghyun.” I looked at him smiling. I can totally tell it was fake when he smiled back.   “Oh Eun Na. Who’s this?” my mom who just came asked.   “It’s your daughter’s boyfriend.” Dad said to mom.    “Goodevening ma’am.” Said Jonghyun courteously. What a scene seeing him so respectful. I can’t believe this. This is totally unbelievable.   “So what brings you here Jonghyun?” My mom asked. Okay it’s time to reveal all of our secrets.   I cleared my throat before speaking. Here goes nothing. “Mom. I know this’ll be surprising and totally unbelievable and I know you’re going to get mad at me and I bet you don’t want to see me after you hear this but I don’t wanna lie to you. I’m -” I can’t say it. I can’t say it. Damn it.   “She’s having a baby and I’m the father.”   “What?!” My mom shouted furiously.   “Mom. I’m pregnant.” I was shaking and I felt like fainting when I saw my mother’s expression.   “Pregnant?! Baby?! Eun Na! Explain everything this instant!” My furious mom shouted.   “Mom, I didn’t want this I promise! It’s -” And before I could finish, I received the biggest humiliation in my life. My mom slapped me and that’s when I started to cry. I was producing tears non-stop.    “I can explain everything Mrs. Han. It’s my fault. I -” Jonghyun tried explaining.   “I don’t wanna hear it! Get out of this house! Get out! I don’t want to see both of you inside this building! Leave now! You’re a disgrace to this family Eun Na. You’re not allowed to step inside this house until you get rid of that baby and that guy.”   “I don’t want to kill it!” I finally had the guts to say it. I don’t want to kill an innocent baby because of the mistake I made that night. There’s no way I’m doing that.   “Then you get out of this house! Don’t even think about coming back! Get all of your things and leave with that guy!”   “I’m your daughter, mom, please. I want you to understand.”    “I don’t have a daughter like you. Now leave!”    “Mom. Please forgive me.” I cried out louder. My face was flushed and my eyes were swollen and red because of the words I’m hearing from my mom and it hurts. I mean all of these are coming from my family and they want me to leave. I don’t have anywhere else to go if I do leave. I thought I could handle the pain but I cannot. I wasn’t ready.   I continued to cry and I was surprised when my mom came to me and handed me over a travel bag. She really wants me to leave? I begged her not to make me leave but she got the bag and packed my things herself and handed it over to me again. When I didn’t get a hold of it she gave it to Jonghyun, he looke
