Chapter 8
Nam Woohyun's Journey to ParenthoodSunggyu sat between Woohyun's legs on his bed, Woohyun's hands rubbing his stomach slowly. Woohyun had buried his face in Sunggyu's hair and he could felt Woohyun's tears flowed down his neck.
"It's going to be okay, Woohyun." Sunggyu intertwined their fingers and tried to calm Woohyun down.
"I-I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have...I should have been careful."
"Shush, Woohyun. It takes both of us to do this, remember?"
"I should have been grateful enough to be with you. I was greedy and lost you... And now..." Woohyun choked out a painful sob and Sunggyu turned in his arms, hugging the younger tightly.
"I don't regret it."
"I-"
"Don't regret our child, Nam Woohyun." Sunggyu cut him off with a glare.
"I don't want to lose you, Kim Sunggyu." Woohyun buried his face in Sunggyu's shoulder.
"Everyone is going to die one day. It'll be okay."
"No. No. No. I'm scared. I'm scared that I would resent our child for taking you away from me."
Sunggyu rubbed Woohyun's back slowly. This was why he didn't want to tell Woohyun about his disease before. But Woohyun had cornered him after eavesdropping in the kitchen and he was forced to explain it to him.
"Promise me you won't."
"Promise me you would be there to raise our child together."
They glared at each other for a moment before Sunggyu turned away.
"Woohyun... You know that it's risky for me to give birth... The chances of me surviving childbirth..."
"No. You're going to survive. And then you'll marry me. And we'll have our family. And if you want any more children, I'll carry them."
Sunggyu chuckled and cupped Woohyun's cheeks.
"Are you sure you want to get fat?"
"Anything for you."
