Mark

Trust, Let's Trust.

"Sehun Oh!"

Sera jumps her brother, aimlessly swinging at him. "You piece of trash, How dare you, you useless waste of space."

The others silently watch on, not attempting to help.

"I'm your older brother." Sehun winces, trying to push her off and failing.

Jackson pulls Sera into his arms. Calming down, the latter turns to Heeyoung,

"Why am I the last to find out about your pregnancy, you bi*ch?" Sera snaps,

"How did you-?" Heeyoung asks, confused since she planned on telling them herself.

"Mark." Jackson answers, "He wanted Yixing's contact information."

"He seems like a nice man to take care of my sister." Yixing nods.

Sehun looks betrayed, scoffing and storming out the room.

"What's with him?" Yixing asks, confused watching Sehun leave.

"Mark wanted his contact in case of emergencies." Sera clarifies.

"Who's Mark?" Hyeri asks,

"A friend. He needed an interior decorator, I recommended Yiming." Heeyoung informs them,

"Where's Yiming then?" Seungwan asks,

"California, but her health hasn't been the best these past few days, so she's staying with Mark." Yixing explains.

"Would you like to talk to her?" Jackson asks, pulling up Mark's contact information.

Jackson video calls Mark, "Hold on." Mark turns the camera towards the ceiling as he walks through his apartment,

They tense, hearing a tired groan and Mark sets the phone down.

"Yiming." Seungwan gasps,

"Is everything okay?" Heeyoung asks,

"Morning sickness." Mark answers,

"Ginger tea helps," Aejung chimes in.

Hope transfers the call from the phone screen to the TV.

Mark helps Yiming get comfortable, setting the laptop on her lap.

"Yiming." Seungwan cries, at the sight of her visibly tired best friend, 

"Seungwan." Yiming sniffles at the sight of her friends,

"Why didn't you tell us?" Hyeri asks,

"I was scared of your reactions." Yiming answers, taking small sips from the mug in her hands,

"Idiot." Hyeri mumbles, subtly wiping away her tear,

"I'm sorry." Yiming cries, as the rest of her friends fire off questions at once.

~

"She needs sleep." Mark whispers, moving the laptop away and covering Yiming up with the blanket,

The doorbell to Jongdae's apartment rings as Mark walks out of the room with the laptop,

"Ge, thank you for taking care of her." Heeyoung says, as Jongdae heads over to open the door.

"Are you taking care of yourself?" Mark asks her instead,

"My husband is taking good care of me." She nods, squeezing said husband's hand.

"He better be." Mark laughs, "I miss you, come visit me soon."

"I miss you too, bro. We'll try to visit asap. Once again, thanks for taking care of Yiming." Heeyoung says,

"Yiming?" They turn to see Sehun standing at the threshold,

"Why is he taking care of my girlfriend?" Sehun calmly asks,

"Don't you mean ex?" Mark responds, "I'm taking care of Yiming because I want to."

"Who the fu*k are you?" Sehun scoffs,

"You don't need to know." Mark rolls his eyes,

"Where is she?" Sehun asks, but Mark keeps silent as the rest of them awkwardly watch on.

"Listen here, you as*hole,-"

"Lawyer Oh."

"That's my girlfriend and our child she's carrying, tell me where she is?" Sehun demands,

"If she wanted you to know, you would." Mark answers,

"Yo-"

"Sehun." Yiming softly calls, walking closer to the screen,

"Yiming." Sehun mentally scolds himself, seeing his girlfriend's tired frame as Mark helps her sit.

"Baby, where are you?" Sehun asks, startling Yiming to wrap her arms around herself and bringing attention to her tiny bump.

"Why do you care?" Yiming answers with a question,

"Be-"

"Can we leave?" Heeyoung whispers to Chanyeol, the latter rolls his eyes at her, Jongdae shushes her, wanting to hear the drama.

"Let's not meet for a while, Oh Sehun." Yiming ends the call. Sehun frantically looks around for the phone,

"Turn it back on, call her back." Sehun sobs,

Though everyone is upset with Sehun, watching him break saddens them. Sera reaches out to her brother, "She has the right to be upset with you, but you're going to show her your love, right?"

"Sehun." Jongin calls, "Tell them."

Sehun hesitantly pulls out a small box from his pockets, revealing a beautiful ring. "We did get into a fight but I swear I wasn't purposely avoiding her. I've been trying to get everything cleared, so we don't have to worry about work during our vacation. I've talked to our parents, and though they were confused they're happy for us. I asked Aunt and Uncle to not talk to Yixing since I planned on talking to you myself." 

"If you ever ignore me for stupid reason like this, I will leave you." Seungwan warns her fiance,

"Bae." Jongdae sighs,

"My sister's happiness and safety is my top priority and though she's safe, she's not happy. Oh Sehun, I'm pleading with you to always keep my sister happy, don't hurt her again." Yixing gives him a small smile, 

"I promise to do my absolute best to keep her happy for the rest of our lives." Sehun confidently states.

"I'll hold you to it." Yixing nods, walking out of the room.

"Mark Zhan." Heeyoung simply says, turning to her husband, "Can we please leave?"

"We're meeting for dinner tomorrow." Baekhyun reminds her as they're walking out of the door.


"Babe!" Jongin snaps Heeyoung out of her thoughts, "What's wrong?" he asks, considering she usually eyes him the minute he walks out of the bathroom shirtless,

"Did I do the right thing?" She wonders,

"Huh" Jongin climbs into the space beside her,

"Seeing Yiming, I'm wondering if things would have been better if I went to Sehun first and gave them a chance to talk things out." She snuggles into his arms, 

"Sehun lacks emotional understanding at times. If he found out about the baby, he would have given Yiming the wrong impression." Jongin sighs.

"But..."

"Sweetheart, when I asked you to marry me, did you not for a second assume it had to do with your pregnancy?" Jongin asks, resting his palm on her stomach.

"But they're not us. They've been together for years."

"Yet, we're better at talking things out." Jongin jokes, his wife lightly smacks his arm,

"Don't get too confident, we've yet to hit any major issues." She rolls her eyes,

"I'm not worried, I know we can get through everything." Jongin brags, smacking a kiss on her head, pulling her to lay down.

His attempt to lighten up the mood doesn't work as Heeyoung finds herself re-evaluating her decisions,

"We can't change the past, but we're helping their future. I trust Sehun to not mess up and if he does, he'll fix it himself. Don't stress over this."

"I know, but I-"

"I love you." Jongin cuts her off with a kiss,

"I love you more."


"What happen to your arm?" Mrs.Byun gasps at the cast on Heeyoung's arm,

"It's a small injury." Heeyoung assures her as Jongin helps her take the seat across Jihyun.

"How long before you can remove it?" Mr.Byun asks, as Jongin takes the seat beside him.

Heeyoung ignores him as usual, leaving Jongin to answer, "We have an appointment tomorrow."

"Where's Baekhee?" Baekhyun voices as dinner is being served,

"Did I hear Jongin Oppa?" Baekhee squeals, running into the dining room.

"Are you going somewhere?" Mrs.Byun questions her over-dressed daughter,

"Funny, Mom." Baekhee smiles at her mother, "Uncle is here." She informs them as a male in his mid-to-late 30s enters the room. Baekhee frowns at the lack of an empty seat beside Jongin, pouting as she takes the seat beside Jihyun, while her uncle takes the seat beside Heeyoung.

"It's nice to finally meet you." The uncle extends his hand towards Heeyoung, but the latter keeps her eyes on her plate.

"How fu-"

Baekhyun cuts Baekhee off, "Heeyoung, meet our uncle-"

"Lee Kangjoon, Boyeon aunty's younger brother and managing director of BE Busan." Heeyoung finishes.

"The President has done her research on me." Kangjoon smirks, oblivious to Jongin eyeing him,

"Since Director Lee is so far away, the news must not have reached yet, but Baekhyun is the President." Heeyoung reveals, surprising the Byun family.

"What?" Baekhyun stutters,

"Grandpa knows you're better suited for the position." Heeyoung tells him,

"What's the condition?" Kangjoon butts in,

Heeyoung chuckles at Kangjoon, "Byun Namjin has to step away from the company matters permanently."

"That fu*king old ma-"

"Byun Baekhee."

"Fu*k off. Dad is in the running for chairman, having him step away is asking him to forfeit it." Baekhee fumes,

"How stupid!" Heeyoung blurts, "Yohan is succeeding Grandpa, there is no competition."  

"Who the fu*k is Yohan to snatch my dad's position and the fu*king chai-"

"Another word against my grandfather and I'll have you removed from your position as PR head." Heeyoung threatens. Baekhee looks at her parents for back-up, but they look away.

"Under President Byun, there hasn't been any significant growth, rather during his first year, he lost three major investors. Compare that to Yohan, who's managed to increase profits by 32.6% of Byun Industries. Your father could barely manage Byun Enterprises, while Yohan has been running Byun Industries. What President Byun couldn't do in 17 years, Yohan achieved it in three years. Get your facts straight before undermining anyone, Byun Baekhee." Heeyoung sneers, shutting Baekhee up.

"How's your dress coming along?" Mrs.Byun breaks the awkward silence with a different topic, turning to Jihyun,

"Beautifully. My final fitt....."

~

"If Baekhyun becomes President and Yohan the Chairman, where does that leave you, Heeyoung?" Kangjoon asks, ignoring the sharp glance from his older sister, Heeyoung shrugs in response.

"That's what I don't understand, how come her shares are higher than all of ours combined? What did your whor-"

"Byun Baekhee." Mrs.Byun slams her hand on the table,

"What? I want to know why the bastard gets more?" Baekhee whines, 

"Bastard?" Heeyoung chuckles, watching Baekhee storm out of the room.

"Byun Namjin, teach your little fairy. If she goes after my family again, I won't stay quiet." Heeyoung warns as Mr.Byun pales hearing the nickname.

"Aunty, thank you for dinner." Heeyoung bows at her step-mother and walks/limps out of the room with her husband following after her.


"Cookies and cream sundae with lots of whipped cream." Jongin sets the treat in front of his tired wife.

"What's going on in your mind?" Jongin asks, shaking her out of her thoughts,

"A lot." She sighs, taking a big scoop of the cold dessert.

"I'm listening." Jongin says, wiping the cream off the side of her lips as she feeds him a bite.

"I'm terrified of Jayden meeting your family. I know it's irrational. I've met them and they're sweet and kind, but I also was unaware of them being the twin's family. They better not hurt my baby, Jongin." Heeyoung shakily sighs, taking another bite of her ice cream to calm herself down.

"I understand your worries, but isn't it better to let them meet once and get it over with. If they're rude, Jayden doesn't have to see them again." Jongin states,

"Yiming is seriously considering adoption, especially after talking to Sehun. Hana said if Sehun wants, he could potentially take us to court, but I don't want to get involved in custody battles."

"Yiming and Sehun will work things out. If Yiming was willing to overlook Sehun's wild past during high school and support him through his stupid decisions, I'm willing to bet anything they'll welcome their child together." Jongin assures her,

"Baekhyun keeps bothering me about inviting his parents to the wedding. Is he overlooking the age restriction or looking for a fight? Especially considering we're reworking our ties with KJC, before the media gets any hints." She huffs, stuffing .

"I'll talk to Baekhyun again. If anything happens with the media, our PR teams will handle it. Don't stress over something that hasn't happened." 

"Let's not forget Byun Baekhee. Not only does she hate me, but she's madly in love with you." Heeyoung fumes,

"You mean madly obsessed." Jongin corrects, earning an eye roll from his wife as she turns away from him,

"I've never seen her as anything more than Baekhyun's little sister." Jongin says,

"I trust you, it's her I don't trust." Heeyoung scoffs,

"I promise to never let her near me." Jongin declares,

"CEO Kim, I'm a possessive lover." Heeyoung warns,

"Director Park, so am I." Jongin presses a kiss to her cheek. "What else?"

Heeyoung exhales, pushing the empty bowl away, "I'm scared of making a mistake and hurting whopper. I wasn't planning on announcing the news until the second trimester. In case, I make another stupid mistake again. I." She chokes, Jongin wraps an arm around her, pulling her close.

"I'm here with you, every step of the way, taking care of both you and our baby. I promise I'll be there whenever you need me."

"You won't get mad when I wake you in the middle of the night for ice cream or some weird craving?" She asks,

"I wouldn't dare." He promises,

"Even through my mood swings?"

"I'll learn to handle them. Anything else-"

"Hope." Jayden yells, cutting Jongin off. The boy runs into the ice cream parlor with his parents tiredly following after him.

"How is your arm? What about your ankle? And your head? Is whopper okay?" Jayden fires off questions, climbing into Jongin's lap.

"Baby, let's get your ice cream first." Seol interrupts her son,

Hope and Jayden share a look, "Cookies and Cream with lots of whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles and chocolate drizzle."

"Just today." Junmyeon tells Jayden as he's usually strict about sugar.

"Myeon, go easy on the cream and sprinkles and no drizzle. He's already hyper." Heeyoung says, pushing back Jayden's sweaty bangs as the little boy narrates his day to Jongin.

"What's happening about introducing him to his grandparents?" Heeyoung asks, handing Jayden a napkin to wipe his mouth.

"I'm okay with meeting them, but I have conditions. One, let's run a DNA test again." Seeing the confused faces he explains, "Just to reassure Dad's parents. Two, If they insult mom, Hana or Jae appa, I refuse to see them again." Jayden demands,

"Understood." Junmyeon agrees.


"Kim Jongin, let's go."

Heeyoung pushes him towards the main door, "I'll be fine with Haechan and Bomi, I promise. Enjoy your trip without feeling the need to check on me every 5 minutes." Though she understands his worries, she wants him to enjoy Baekhyun's bachelor trip.

Jongin opens his mouth, "Kim Jongin, 5 more minutes before we drag you out." Jongdae startles them,

Jongin turns to her, "Don't forget your medicines or your vitamins."

"Honey." Heeyoung whines, but Jongin gives her a stern look, "I've set alarms for meds and vitamins." She tiredly sighs, as he pulls her close by the waist.

"Taehyung will be taking you to your appointment, make-"

"He'll drive carefully, I promise I won't even let him drive one kmph over the speed limit." She jokes, her husband doesn't look impressed,

"I'm serious, love."

"Me too, babe." Heeyoung says, kissing his chin.

"Bro, don't worry, we're basically experts at broken limbs care." Hana jumps in,

"Baby, I will be fine. You need to stop worrying about us. I promise to look after whopper and myself very carefully. So, please spend the next three days worry free." Heeyoung assures him, but he pulls her closer.

"I already miss you." Jongin sighs, leaning down to kiss her, but a tug on the back of his shirt pulls him away from his wife. 

"Sis, take care of yourself. Peace." Jongdae bids, dragging Jongin backwards to the door,

"You guys take care of yourselves as well and enjoy a lot. I love you, husband, don't worry about me." She blows a kiss to her pouting husband,

"I can't not worry. Love you too, Wife." Jongin yells as he's dragged out the door,

"Wifey's husband is cute." Hana chuckles as Eddy walks in with Hope's duffel bag.

"Anything else?" He asks Heeyoung, who shakes her head.

Eddy heads for the exit, sharply glancing at his fiance, "I'm cuter." He states, leaving a giggling duo behind.


"When do you leave?" Hana asks, walking through the master room,

"In a week." Jaemin yells from somewhere on the first floor,

"I'm going too." Haechan informs, checking out the second-floor mezzanine.

"When are you coming back?" Heeyoung asks Taehyung while they're looking around the game room,

"I'm not sure." Taehyung sighs,

"Minho oppa agrees it's better for Jayden to move here. It'll make it easier for Jayden to spend time with his father's family."  Seol warily informs them, glancing at Jaemin for his opinion. Her best friend gives her a smile.

"Speaking of, I am now the head researcher at KT Bio SK. " Bomi shares while Eddy and her walk out of the kitchen,

"I always assumed Hana and Eddy would be the only ones moving to Seoul, yet here we are." Hope sighs as they reconvene in the living room.

"Do you like it?" Eddy asks his fiance, who happily nods, heading over to the interior decorator with Bomi and Taehyung.

"How long till your place is done?" Eddy asks Haechan,

"Soon, renovations started when Bomi applied." Haechan glances at his wife,

"Hopefully, you'll be approved by then." Heeyoung sneaks up behind them,

Haechan is momentarily startled, "When did you find out?"

"I saw the papers in your home office. I hid them before Bomi saw them." She rolls her eyes,

"Are Jongin and you planning on moving?" Eddy asks her, as they're walking out the door,

"I'm bringing Jongin to check the house out." She says, nudging her head towards the neighboring plot.

"So, everyone is flying back?" Bomi asks,

Heeyoung gasps, looking at her friends, "You're all leaving me?"

"Hope." Bomi sighs, stepping forward to comfort her pregnant friend, but Hope hides inside Taehyung's car. 

"I'll talk to her." Taehyung assures them, getting into the driver's seat and driving off.
