Hey guys, so this is a long overdue preview for chapter 12 of 280 Days. I am so sorry, to be honest... I considered for a long time dropping this fic, then I thought about just ending it in one chapter, but it isn't fair to you guys. When I posted this fic for the first time, I made a commitment to myself and to you guys to complete this fic and do it well. So, I won't end it now and I won't drop it. This fic will follow its normal course. 

Anyhow, her is a small preview of chapter 12 : 

From his makeup station, Travys observed yet another time Sooyoung getting settled at her own makeup station. It was a sight he had seen so many times before. He already knew what her next move was going to be. After settling down and greeting everyone, including him, she took out her phone, placed it on the counter, and waited patiently for her makeup artist to begin. Something was however different on that day, instead of curiously looking around at the action going on around her, Sooyoung placed her right hand on her rounded stomach. There was no denying or hiding it anymore. Sooyoung was with child. Travys looked the other way, not wanting other people to notice him looking at her. When he took a second look at her, anger filled his body. Kyuhyun didn’t deserve her. He did deserve the child growing inside Sooyoung’s womb. It was because of Kyuhyun that Sooyoung ended up in the hospital. If it weren’t for him, Sooyoung would have bled to her baby’s death on her kitchen floor. He was the one who brought her to the hospital. Her blood still stained the outfit he was wearing that day. A dark thought suddenly crossed his mind. In order for him to be with Sooyoung, he needed to get rid of Kyuhyun. Travys knew he didn’t have as much money as Kyuhyun, but he also knew that he had enough to make Sooyoung comfortable.    

“I knew she was pregnant,” whispered a voice, in his left ear. Travys jumped and looked in surprise at his makeup artist.

“When did you get here?” he grumbled, looking towards the mirror.

“Just know,” Hara flatly answered, before applying a hydrating cream on his face. “So I did the math,” she continued, after she concluded no answer was going to come from him.

“You know how to do math?” asked Travys, pretending to be surprised.

“Shut up,” she snapped, while she considered throwing some powder foundation into Travys’ nose. “So, I did the math,” she repeated. “And I’ve concluded that it’s a bastard,” she announced proudly.

“Don’t say stuff like that,” grumbled Travys, knowing all too well that she was technically right.

“I am not the only one saying stuff like that,” retorted Hara. “It’s all over the internet!”

“It is?” he asked, wondering how he could’ve missed it.

“Yeah, that’s why today is her last day here,” explained Hara. “Haven’t you read the newsletter?”

“It is?” replied Travys, dumbfounded, not sure at which of the two statements he was surprised at. “But, she just came back from a 4 week hiatus.”

“It is. The producers are getting worried about the backlash the show could get. Some say that it’s indecent for a broadcaster to show her condition and that it will only get worse as the weeks pass-by. Other people are claiming that by showing her and her growing belly the station is endorsing out of wedlock pregnancies.”    

“But it’s her job,” he hissed, trying to keep the tone of the conversation as low as possible.

“But it was also her job to be an idol and to have a spotless image,” reasoned Hara.

“I guess you are right,” he sighed, looking over at Sooyoung. She did look different. A sad smile had replaced he usual bright one. She nod had a smile of loneliness, perhaps.

 “We just need to take care of her,” whispered Hara, while applying the finishing touches to his makeup. “Her list of friends is already diminishing by the second.” 

As usual, the text is raw and I haven't really corrected it, so please don't mind the typos and what not. Hope you enjoy it ;)
