At the peak of his career, Chanyeol made a big mistake. He accidentally made Bomi pregnant!

Bomi's parents demanded Chanyeol to be responsible on Bomi and their child. They ended up getting married to each other but of course, unwillingly

"Uwek!"

Chanyeol looked up from his laptop to the bathroom door. Bomi was throwing up so badly since this morning

Chanyeol-Ugh!

He lazily got up and went into the bathroom. He Bomi's back

Bomi-Stop it
Chanyeol-What?
Bomi-Stop pretending like you care
Chanyeol-I'm just trying to help

Bomi-I don't need your help!
Chanyeol-Fine!

Chanyeol got out and slammed the door harshly

Chanyeol-Only if you said that before our wedding. We wouldn' t stuck together like this!

Chanyeol yelled from outside. Bomi was devastated with Chanyeol's behaviour. He never admitted the baby was his. He refused to be responsible at first but Bomi's parents threatened to spread the news to to media if Chanyeol insisted

Bomi-This baby is ours Chanyeol ahh

Bomi whispered and cried in silent

***

Time passed and Bomi's tummy grew bigger. Not just her tummy, her appetite also grew. Bomi always craving for food in the middle of the night

This night too, she snuck into the kitchen to eat the leftover food

Pak!

Bomi was startled when Chanyeol switched on the lights. She gulped

Chanyeol-What are you doing in the dark?
Bomi-I..
Chanyeol-These are leftover food
Bomi-Uhm
Chanyeol-Why didn't you call me earlier and tell me to buy something for you?
Bomi-I don't want to trouble you

Chanyeol hissed and shook his head. He went to open the fridge, looking for something to cook. He took out cheese, eggs, cold kimchi and noodles

Chanyeol-Hang on. I will cook something
Bomi-Don't trouble yourself
Chanyeol-It's not troubling at all. I am hungry too. Just a minute okay?

Chanyeol smiled at Bomi and started cooking

She felt her heart fluttered. Their cold relationship had been warm since Bomi was admitted to the hospital because of dehydration a few weeks ago

Chanyeol had began to learn and accept the baby Bomi was carrying is his own flesh and blood. He started to show affection and care towards Bomi and the baby

They were like a real family now

Chanyeol-Eat a lot Mommy
Bomi-Tch, I want to be called Mama
Chanyeol-That's cute too. But papa doesn't really suit me

They laughed afterwards

Bomi-Hmm, yummy!
Chanyeol-I'm glad you love it

Chanyeol touched Bomi's tummy and caressed it dearly

Chanyeol-Do you like the food mini Chanyeol?
Bomi-Hmm, I think he likes it too
Chanyeol-Good

Chanyeol giggled. Bomi stared at Chanyeol. He noticed it and asked why. Suddenly Bomi pulled him to her and kissed his lips passionately

Bomi-I love you

Chanyeol smiled awkwardly and nodded

Even though Bomi was loving this new feelings between them, she still felt so wrong. She knew something was up. She knew Chanyeol was hiding something

Something that could break her heart once she knew about it

Chanyeol-Yoon Bomi?
Bomi-Yes?
Chanyeol-I have something to show you
Bomi-Wh.. What?

Bomi swallowed her saliva. Chanyeol took his brief case and brought out a file. It was filled only with papers. Bomi wondered what he wanted to show her

Chanyeol-I need you to sign here

Bomi read the form in detail thoroughly

Bomi-Permission to go to States? For?
Chanyeol-Since this is pandemic season I need your permission to leave this country
Bomi-Why are you going to States?
Chanyeol-I got an offer for collaboration project with foreign artist

Bomi-When?
Chanyeol-I will leave this weekend
Bomi-Until?
Chanyeol-Early next month

Bomi crumpled the paper in anger

Bomi-Park Chanyeol, my due is in two weeks
Chanyeol-I know but... This is the highlight of my career. My name will blow once the song is released. This is once in a life time oppoturnity

Bomi-Then what about our child? You are not going to welcome him?
Chanyeol-Oh, you mean your child?

Chanyeol smirked. Tears fell down to Bomi's cheeks. Her heart broke into smaller pieces

Bomi-I won't sign this stupid form

Chanyeol leant his back on the chair and sighed

Chanyeol-Fine. I have another way
Bomi-You cannot go Chanyeol! You promised to welcome this child together!
Chanyeol-Your parents can welcome him with you. They are so excited to meet this kid who doesn't have a father

Bomi-This is your child! How many times do I repeat?! We slept together that night Park Chanyeol!

Chanyeol smirked and laughed sarcastically. He removed his wedding ring and put in on the counter bar. Then he left Bomi all alone at the kitchen

Bomi-Argh!

Bomi yelled in anger. Suddenly the night she spent with Chanyeol flashed back in her mind

They went to Seohyun's birthday party and got drunk. They went to Bomi's house and they just happened to sleep together and even had earlier. Even though they both were drunk, Bomi still could remember vividly how they kissed and cuddled and whispered dirty words into each other's ears

Chanyeol-I love you Yoon Bomi

Bomi-You even said you loved me Chanyeol ahh

Bomi cupped her face and cried frustratedly

***

Chanyeol spent his days and nights at his studio and never came back home. Today he would leave to States and he didn't bother to come and see Bomi

Bomi stared at the DNA results in her hand. She felt like screaming. It was positive! The 8 month old baby in her tummy had proven to be Chanyeol's biological child

Bomi-I need to see Chanyeol before he left

Bomi brought the test results with her. Not to forget, Chanyeol's wedding ring. She had to see Chanyeol before he left. Maybe he would change his mind

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

Ilhoon-Aish it's so noisy. Just pick up the phone Chanyeol ahh

Ilhoon complained after hearing Chanyeol's phone ringging non stop. Chanyeol looked at the screen and clucked his tongue

Chanyeol-What does she want?

He picked up the call. Finally

Chanyeol-Hello?

"Chanyeol wait! Wait. You cannot go yet"

Chanyeol-Bomi, what do you want?

"You need to see this. I have something to show you. Please wait at your studio, I will be there in no time. Please..."

Chanyeol-You are unbelievable

He cut the line. Ilhoon jerked his head out of the window asking whether they could go now

Chanyeol-I will catch up with you later. I need to see Bomi

Ilhoon shrugged and drove away

"Chanyeol!"

Chanyeol looked up across the road and saw Bomi was running towards him. With her big belly, hand bag and a paper in her hand, she looked struggling

Chanyeol-Mwoya, don't run

Somehow Chanyeol's heart ached to see Bomi's puffy face. Was it normal for a pregnant mom? Or she was crying?

Bomi-Chanyeol wait! You need to see this first. Please wait...

Bomi crossed the road without looking

Pen! Pen!

Chanyeol-Yoon Bomi!

Dum!

Time was like stopped moving. Nobody spoke, nobody moved but Bomi

She floated in the air before she fell to the road side. Bomi felt her breath drew short. A crowd of people came to her, trying to pull her up but Bomi couldn't move

Bomi-He..lp. Sav..e my.. Baby

Bomi begged helplessly. A bead of tear fell to her cheek. She touched her tummy gently, caressing it

Bomi-Sorr...y. Mama..is sorry

She prayed desprately for her child to be saved. He deserved a chance to live

Bomi felt a warm hand touching her skin. Then she heard familiar voice

Chanyeol-Bomi! Hey, do you hear me?
Bomi-Chan..yeol. Our.. Ba..by
Chanyeol-The ambulance will be here. Hang on, I will hold you

Chanyeol pulled Bomi up a bit and hugged her. He kept glancing at his watch. The ambulance finally arrived

The medical response team took Bomi and Chanyeol in the ambulance

Bomi-Doc..tor?

Bomi called the female doctor softly

Bomi-Please save.. My baby first. He needs.. To live

The doctor gave Bomi a sad look but she still nodded

Chanyeol held Bomi's hand

Chanyeol-Bomi, look at me

Bomi turned to look at Chanyeol

Chanyeol-We are almost there. Hang on. You will be alright. The baby will be alright. Okay?

She only smiled at Chanyeol. A weird smile. And for the first time, Chanyeol hated it when Bomi smiled

Chanyeol-Stay with me

Bomi-Chan..yeol. Promise.. You will take care of.. Our baby
Chanyeol-We will take care of him

Chanyeol kissed Bomi's forehead and cried. God, he felt so terrified if Bomi...

Then Bomi called again. She told Chanyeol to look at the paper she brought earlier

Chanyeol did. He unfolded the paper and found his wedding ring in it. He kept the ring in his palm and read the content

The doctor peeked at the paper as well. Then she beamed under her mask as she understood the results

Doctor-Your DNA matches with the baby, sir

Chanyeol looked up to the doctor. His eyes got teary

Chanyeol-So this baby.. Is mine?

The doctor nodded

They finally arrived at the hospital. As soon as Bomi was taken out of the ambulance...

Beeeeeeeeeppp......

Chanyeol and the doctor looked at the ECG monitor. Bomi's heart beat curve already flat

Chanyeol-Bomi? Hey...
Doctor-Mister Park, your wife is gone

Chanyeol-What? No way. She cannot... You cannot leave me like this. Yoon Bomi! Bomi, wake up! BOMI!!!

A male nurse pulled Chanyeol away from Bomi's bed, trying to calm him down. Chanyeol fell on his knees screaming and wailing like there was no tomorrow

Chanyeol-BOMI!!!

***

17 years later...

Chup!

Chanyeol felt someone kissed his cheek softly. He grinned and looked up to the girl who was already smiling down at him

Chanyeol-Bomi!

Bomi laughed and sat on the bench beside Chanyeol. She hugged her papa tightly

Chanyeol-Why?
Bomi-What? Nothing
Chanyeol-Don't lie to your papa Park Bomi

Bomi chuckled. She straigthened her back and faced her papa. Her eyes got teary already

Bomi-I just want to thank you for raising me all these years. Even without Mama, you did your best for me. I love you Papa. Happy 17th anniversary

Chanyeol stared into his daughter's eyes. Park Bomi had Yoon Bomi's hazelnut eyes

Bomi-Papa? Do you hear me?
Chanyeol-*smiled* I heard you darling. Come

Chanyeol hugged his daughter tightly 

Bomi-You must have been missing her
Chanyeol-Who?
Bomi-Mama
Chanyeol-There is not a day that I don't miss her
Bomi-I'm sorry you had to lose her to keep me

Chanyeol pulled away from their hug. Bomi was already crying

Chanyeol-Please don't say that. Mama didn't sacrifice her life for you to regret it. You should live your life to the fullest in her stead. She would be so happy

Bomi grinned in between her cry. She nodded at her papa. Chanyeol reached out his hand to Bomi, tucking her hair behind her ear

Chanyeol-Your Mama said you were supposed to be a boy. But when you came out, you are a girl

Bomi chuckled with Chanyeol

Bomi-Is Mama beautiful?
Chanyeol-She is the prettiest girl I've ever met
Bomi-Really? Prettier than me?
Chanyeol-Hmm *nodded
Bomi-Tch! I'm not jealous at all. She is my Mama anyways. Hmm

Bomi pretended to not be jealous when her papa said Yoon Bomi is prettier than her

Bomi-Did mama love you?
Chanyeol-*nodded* With her all heart
Bomi-Did you love mama?

Amazing how Bomi only changed the position of 'mama' and 'you' in her questions but managed to make Chanyeol speechless

Chanyeol-I loved mama. But I never get to tell her

Bomi hugged Chanyeol again, his back

Bomi-It's okay. She knows

Bomi pulled away and took out something from her pocket. Chanyeol frowned

Chanyeol-What is that?
Bomi-Remember the necklace I lost during my field trip? I bought a new one with the same ring
Chanyeol-You don't have to do this

Bomi-No. I know you lied when you said it was okay. The ring I lost is your wedding ring papa. Mama put it on your finger when you took your vow. It cannot be okay to lose it. You should have scolded me

Bomi pouted and crossed her arms together. Chanyeol chuckled

Chanyeol-Why are you sulking? It supposed to be me
Bomi-You are way too kind to have a naughty daughter like me. Aish, what did I do to deserve you?

Chanyeol smiled weakly as he caressed Bomi's cheek. He was deeply regretted for accusing this innocent child as someone else's

Chanyeol-It is me who never deserved you Bomi. Forgive me

Bomi held Chanyeol's hand and kissed it. Then she beamed at her papa

A note to heaven

Dear Yoon Bomi, as soon as I held Park Bomi in my arms, there was no other feelings but love and affection for her

I have vowed to always love, protect, and care for our daughter for as long as I shall. I would provide what she needs and all she wants without fail. I will be the both mama and papa that she can rely on

Hopefully this is enough for you to forgive my mistakes

In our next lives, let's meet again and be happy. As a complete family

I love you
X, I'm missing you

The End
