Chapter Ten:

 

Sungmin had his camera with him. He drank a few shots and spotted Yoona and Taecyeon together. He waved to them.

 

“Yoona! Taec! Couple picture time!”

 

Yoona and Taecyeon posed while Sungmin snapped a pic of the two.

 

“Alright!” Sungmin grinned.

 

Yoona smiled weakly and sat in her chair. She shut her eyes for a moment.

 

Taecyeon looked at her and rubbed her back.

 

“Yoona? Are you alright?”

 

Yoona felt weak and tired.

 

“Oppa…I think I'm going to go to sleep early tonight. I'm...really tired."

 

Taecyeon nodded. "Alright. Today was pretty tiring anyways."

 

He helped Yoona up and the two walked inside the hotel.

 

Taecyeon opened the door for Yoona and helped her lay down.

 

Yoona shut her eyes the second she laid down on the bed. Taecyeon looked at her with concern.

 

"Are you sure you're alright?" He asked, rubbing her back.

 

Yoona nodded.

 

Taecyeon slowly laid down next to her and her back gently.

 

He started to feel drowsy and soon, the two were fast asleep.

 

 

About an hour later, Sunny and Sooyoung strolled happily back to the room. They opened the door and gasped.

 

Taecyeon was sleeping next to Yoona, patting her back. Yoona’s eyes were closed and she was asleep as well.

 

Sunny grinned.

 

"Awww...the cute couple!"

 

Sooyoung nudged her in the arm.

 

"Shut up! We don't want to wake them up!"

 

Sunny clasped a hand over and nodded.

 

Sooyoung quietly led Sunny out of the room and shut the door behind her, smiling.

 

"What?!" Sungmin grinned. "Taecyeon fell asleep next to Yoona?"

 

Taemin kept quiet.

 

'Taec hyung...is with noona?'

 

Sooyoung squealed happily. "They looked so cute! Taecyeon had his arm around her protectively and they were sleeping so close to each

other!"

 

Taemin gulped.

 

"How close?"

 

Sunny giggled.

 

"Don’t worry, Taemin! They were just sleeping, and that's ALL."

 

She patted him on the back.

 

"You can sleep with Sungmin and Sooyoung and I will sleep on the other bed."

 

Taemin nodded but couldn’t get his mind off the fact that Yoona was going to be with Taecyeon all night.

 

'Well...she’s already pregnant with Taecyeon’s baby...but hyung doesn't know that yet...'

 

Sungmin yawned. "Well, let’s hit the sack! I'm so tired..."

 

Everyone nodded and climbed into bed, ready for a good night's sleep.

 

Yoona woke up and was surprised to see Taecyeon snoring beside her.

 

"T-Taecyeon...?"

 

Suddenly, she felt sick and hurried to the bathroom.

 

Taecyeon woke up to the sound of vomiting and rushed to the bathroom. He saw Yoona gagging and throwing up in the toilet. He came up

behind her and rubbed her back. Yoona finished throwing up and rinsed . She shut her eyes.

 

"Yoona...maybe you should go see a doctor...you seem really sick."

 

Yoona looked at him weakly and shook her head.

 

"I'm fine. I just had bad...digestion."

 

Taecyeon sighed worriedly.

 

"I don't think digestion is the problem."

 

Just then, someone knocked on the hotel door.

 

"Hey, lovebirds! Time to head back to Seoul!" Sungmin’s voice called.

 

Taecyeon stood.

 

"Coming!"

 

He helped Yoona stand.

 

Yoona gagged again but didn’t throw up. She put on a light jacket and grabbed her suitcase. Taecyeon took the suitcase from her.

 

"I'll bring it for you." He said. He kissed her forehead. "Okay? Take it easy."

 

Yoona smiled weakly. She nodded.

 

"Thank you, oppa."

 

Taecyeon grinned and turned around. He opened the hotel room door.

 

"Come on, Yoona." He patted her back and the two headed outside. Yoona held her breath when they walked past the breakfast area.

 

Sungmin, Sunny, Sooyoung, and Taemin stood outside waiting for them.

 

"Did you two sleep well?" Sunny asked playfully.

 

Yoona blushed. "Unnie!"

 

Sunny winked. "Aigoo! So cute!"

 

Taemin smiled at Yoona and Taecyeon.

 

"Well, let’s get going." Sungmin grinned.

 

Sungmin, Sunny, and Sooyoung waved and climbed into the company vehicle while Taemin, Taecyeon, and Yoona sat in Taec’s car.

 

They drove to Seoul listening to 2ne1 and Super Junior.

 

Yoona fell back asleep fairly quickly. Taecyeon smiled.

 

"Your sister seems really tired, Taemin." Taecyeon observed.

 

Taemin nodded. "Oh, yeah."

 

He looked out the window.

 

'Gosh...it's killing me not being able to tell him Yoona is pregnant with his baby...'

 

Taecyeon glanced at Yoona and gently held her hand. He sighed.

 

"I hope nothing is wrong with you, Yoona.'

 

A couple hours later, they arrived in front of Yoona’s house. Taemin hopped out of the car and opened the trunk to grab his luggage.

Taecyeon gently shook Yoona awake.

 

Yoona slowly opened her eyes.

 

"We...we're here already?"

 

Taecyeon laughed and kissed her forehead.

 

"We've been driving for about two hours. Of course we're here!"

 

He helped Yoona and Taemin bring their suitcases into the house.

 

Yoona smiled.

 

“Thank you for helping us.”

 

Taecyeon grinned. “No problem.”

 

Taemin pointed to the kitchen.

 

“Do you want something to drink before you go?”

 

Taecyeon thought. “Sure.”

 

The trio walked into the kitchen and Yoona handed Taecyeon a glass of cold Coke. Taecyeon gulped it down.

 

“Ah! That tasted really good.” Taec put his glass in the sink. “Maybe because my wonderful girlfriend gave it to me.”

 

Yoona blushed. Taemin rolled his eyes.

 

“Lovebirds.” He muttered. Then he grabbed his suitcase. “I’m gonna go unpack.” He winked. “Have fun, you two.”

 

Taemin strolled off to his room and shut the door behind him.

 

Yoona and Taecyeon sat across from each other at the dining table.

 

Yoona bit her lip.

 

‘Should I tell him about the baby now? Or would that ruin everything…? Ugh...I don’t know...’

 

Taecyeon took her hand and looked at her in concern. “Are you okay? You seem sick.”

 

Yoona smiled weakly. “I-I’m fine.”

 

Taecyeon felt her forehead.

 

“You still have a fever...and you threw up this morning…”

 

Yoona rubbed Taec’s hand.

 

“I’m fine.”

 

Taecyeon stood and walked over to Yoona. He picked her up bridal style and carried her to her bed. He laid her down and sat beside her.

 

“There. You should rest for while. A LONG while.” He kissed her forehead and her hair.

 

Yoona giggled. "I just slept in the car."

 

Taecyeon huffed. "You should still rest a bit more."

 

Yoona smiled. “You seem tired, too. You should go home and sleep.”

 

Taec tsked. “Then how would I know if you’re actually resting or not?” He laid down and snuggled up right next to Yoona. “I’ll stay right here and sleep. Then I’ll cook you an awesome dinner.”

 

Yoona laughed. “Ok Taecyeon cooking?”

 

Taec looked at her and gently flicked her forehead. “Yah! I’m a great cook. You’ll see.” He put his arms around her. “Ah...I’ve never felt this

peaceful in my entire life.”

 

Yoona rested her head on his biceps and shut her eyes.

 

Taec smiled and kissed her on the lips.

 

“I love you, Im Yoona...and that will never change, no matter what.”
