Chanyeol's POV

The morning after spending the day at the beach was truthfully painful. My body ached from running from place to place, trying to catch up with Hana. Even though she's pregnant, she surely has the energy of a 6 year at a birthday party.

After getting dressed to go out to visit my parents, I walk out of my apartment and towards the elevator, there I see the same girl from yesterday, Eunji. Noticing my presence, she looks up and smiles at me.

"Long time no see" She cheerfully says "Good morning Chanyeol"

I give her a light smile "Good morning Eunji"

Not truly paying attention to the girl, I grab my phone from my pockets and dial my secretary's, Isabel,  number. In two rings she answers.

" Isabel, I am not planning on going to my office today, please re-arrange my meetings and appointments"

"No problem Mr. Park. Have a great rest of the day" Says Isabel before hanging up.

I place my phone back in my pocket as me and Eunji enter the elevator

"So, not working today?" she asks, her eyes filled with curiosity.

I look at her from the side of my eyes, trying my best not to seem uncomfortable. I have just met this girl and is she not only asking about my private life, but also listening to my phone conversation.

"Not today." I say, coldly, trying to distance myself a little.

"Oh, in that case, want to go with me to a coffee shop?" She asks, smiling widely.

I shake my head " No. I have other plans" I say before getting off the elevator.

As I walk, I hear her heels clicking behind me "You don't have to be so rude, you know?"

"Sorry, Eunji. But, I am not really interested right now" I say, under the impression that she is actually asking me on a date.

Since yesterday, I've been thinking about Hana. I've come to realize that I truly see her as more than just a friend. After caring not only for her but also her unborn child, I feel as if me and her developed some kind of bond. For her it might be a close friendship, but for me it's way more than that.

"Alright, I get it. You're not interested in a date, so how about we go as friends? After all, I truly don't know a lot of people in the city except for some classmates, and to be quite honest, they're s" she laughs.

I laugh with her, as the tension between us vanishes as a result of her confession. " Fine. Let's go out for coffee, but unfortunately I can't today. As I said, I have plans"

"I understand. I guess you will have to make it up for me this Saturday. Bye Channy" she playfully says before walking ahead of me and walking through the exit door.

As I exit my building, I receive a call from Kyungsoo.

Me: Hey Kyungsoo, how is it going?

Kyungsoo: Not so good, Suho started the divorce process. Hana is saying that she doesn't care but I know she is hurting on the inside.

Me: He started the divorce papers? Wasn't he really focused on getting Hana back?

Kyungsoo: He was, but apparently he believes that she cheated on him with you and that her baby is yours instead of his.

Me: You have got to be kidding me. I drive over there right now.

Before Kyungsoo could answer, I jogged towards my car and drove as fast as I could to Hana's apartment. When I arrived, Kyungsoo opened the door.

"She's in her room. You should go and talk to her" He says, letting me in the apartment.

I quickly thank him before walking on through the long hallway towards Hana's bedroom. Before entering, I lightly knock on the door, letting her know that I am going in.

"Hana, are you okay?" I ask as I enter the room.

After entering, I see Hana sitting on her bed, applying lipstick on.

"I am great" she says, giving me a bright smile.

I look at her, surprised at her current cheerful mood. She is dressed up in a white summer dress with cream colored sandals.

"Are you going anywhere?" I ask cautiously.

"I am actually going out baby shopping. I have been so preoccupied with Suho that I haven't even gotten anything for my baby." She says.

I turn my gaze towards Kyungsoo, who seems as confused as I am.

I was truly expecting Hana to be broken into little pieces. She has told me about her situation and how a small part of her wished that this entire situation would get fixed, but everything just went downhill. I am not a psychologist, but I know people react to some events in different ways. Maybe, this is her way of coping with everything.

"Want to come with me? Kyungsoo has run some errands so he can't come" she says, smiling at me.

"I am actually visiting my parents today, but if you want, we can visit them together and then we can go baby shopping" I say, smiling back at her.

I do think bringing her to my parents is a good idea since they do not know anything about her situation, but I rather take her with me then to leave her by herself. I'll just deal with my parents later.

"That sounds great!" says Hana, getting up and grabbing her purse "Let's go"

Quickly saying goodbye to Kyungsoo, we make our way towards the elevator and towards the exit of the building.

~.~

"This is your parent's house?" Asks Hana, hanging open with shock.

Even though me and Hana have been friends for a little while, I haven't told her about my economic status. Yes, my family is filthy rich, but I don't like mentioning that to any of my friends. I believe that by announcing it, people would become friends with me only for my money.

"It is" I say, looking at her walk to the bed of roses sitting by the door " We should go in now" I say, grabbing her hand and helping her walk up the stairs.

As we walk up, the big front doors open, revealing my mother. She looks down and me and Hana and slightly opens, not understanding the situation. 

When we reach the door, my mother still has not said anything.

"Mother, this is Hana. Hana, this my mother, Eunjung"  I say, trying to break the ice.

Hana, unaware of the situation smiles at my mother "Nice to meet you" she says.

My mother, trying to be polite, smiles at her "Nice to meet you too. Please come in"

I allow Hana to walk inside before entering. As Hana observes her surroundings, I quicly turn around and quitely beg my mother not to make a scene and promise her that I will explain everything later.

 My mother has always wanted me to marry. Ever since I graduated from medical school, she has been begging me to marry, but not with any girl. She has a girl, her friend's daughter, in mind. Apparently, she is a very beautiful, smart and kind hearted woman, but honestly I am not interested. I want to marry someone because I love them, not because my parents want me to.
