Chapter 7
Nam Woohyun's Journey to ParenthoodWoohyun woke up feeling like a rat had died in his mouth and his head was throbbing to his heartbeats. He rubbed his eyes and belatedly realized that he had fallen asleep on the couch after drinking with Sunggyu's father.
Great, not only that he had skipped work, he was also hungover.
He decided to sleep in when he heard voices from the kitchen, apparently, Sunggyu and his mother already woke up.
"Are you going to tell Woohyun?"
Woohyun perked up at his name and tried to listen to their conversation. He knew Sunggyu had shaken his head when the silence continued.
"What are you going to do after you give birth?"
"I'll give the baby to Woohyun. He's going to be a great father."
Woohyun preened at the praise before realising that Sunggyu didn't plan to stay with him. He heard Sunggyu's mother sniffled slightly.
"Mom, don't cry. You're supposed to be happy. You're going to get a grandchild."
"But I'm going to lose a son. Why did you do this, Sunggyu? You said you're not going to get pregnant."
Woohyun frowned at that.
"I-I know. It's just happened. I couldn't abort the baby, mom. It's a part of Woohyun...and I love him too much."
"Sunggyu..."
"Mom, please. You need to stay strong. Dad, sis, Woohyun and my baby are going to need you. I need you to take care of Woohyun and our child for me."
Woohyun walked into the kitchen, startling Sunggyu's mother.
"Woohyun!"
Sunggyu turned to Woohyun in surprise. His eyes were red-rimmed and it was obvious that he had been crying.
"What's going on?"
