Hyuna’s POV

I rushed to the bathroom the moment I woke up in the morning. I bent into the sink, expecting to vomit contents of food from yesterday night. But nothing came out. My stomach felt really different and it makes me uneasy. I had felt like this for days. I washed my face and smiled to myself as I looked into the mirror. I’ve experienced this before and its no different.

I bathe and got ready to go out to the pharmacy. Or should I go straight to the doctor?

Jay had gone to work early in the morning and Jae Hee wanted to sleep over at my parent’s place. I went to the pharmacy instead so I get to know the results first and not anyone else.

I didn’t spend much time outside since I was alone. Usually if I’m with Jae Hee, he would drag me to the playground or just take a walk around the shops. Aish.. I miss my baby. Its just been 2 days since his sleepover and I’m already missing him.

I reached home and went to the bathroom and took the pregnancy test.

I waited. And waited. And waited. After a few minutes, the results came out before my eyes. The red positive sign appear. I smiled widely. I bit my lip, thinking of how I should tell Jay. When I got to know that I’m pregnant with Jae Hee, Jay went to the doctor with me. So we got to know the news together.

Hmm.. since Jae Hee is at my parent’s house, maybe I should prepare a special candlelight dinner just for the both of us. Jay’s coming home at about 8.30pm so I’ll have enough time to prepare. My heart pounded happily, imagining his happy face when I tell him the good news. I didn’t call anyone else to tell about the good news. I want Jay to be the first person to know.

I list down the things I need to buy and things to do on a list. After writing a whole bunch of things, I got my keys and went to the garage. I drove to the supermarket first to buy the ingredients to make spaghetti. Jay really loves spaghetti. No- actually more like Italian food. Any Italian food and he’ll definitely like it.

I went to a department store to buy some candles and roses. As I walked out of the store, I bumped into someone.

“Oh sorry! I didn’t see you!” the person apologised. I turned to face him and was about to apologise also when I realised it was Junhyung.

“Oh! Junhyung-ah..” I said. His eyes widened and smiled widely.

“Oh its you Hyuna! What were you buying in there?” he asked, pointing to the department store.

“Nothing much.. just some candles and flowers..” I smiled and showed him the paper bag.

As he peeped inside the bag he said, “Candles? Trying aromatherapy?” he chuckled.

“Nooooo…. I’m doing a candlelight dinner for Jay.” I smiled happily. I think I caught his smile sort of faded but its still there. Just not as wide as before. I keep wondering if he still has feelings for me. Its impossible. I mean, its been nine years!

But sometimes I can see the look on his face whenever Jay is with me. He will try to look away from us or keep himself busy with other things. Or maybe… its just my imagination.

“Wow.. what’s the special occasion?” he smiled. I don’t want to tell him just yet although we had gotten quite close eversince we were ‘reunited’.

“Oh its nothing. Just that Jae Hee is at my parent’s house and its been a long time since Jay and I had dinner together. You know, without Jae Hee,” I said.

“Ahh.. I see.. It must have been hard to find a time alone when you have a kid. But he makes your life livelier right?” he raised an eyebrow.

“Yeah… Jae Hee had been the best thing that had happened to me and Jay,” my eyes swayed to the side, just reminiscing a little about Jae Hee in our lives.

Junhyung nodded lightly. He just smiled looking at me. I smiled one last time to him and prepared to leave. I may not have enough to time to set the dinner if I keep on chatting.

“I guess I have to go now Jun. Don’t wanna be late! I’ll see you around?” I said cheerfully.

“Yeah! Sorry if I’ve kept your time chatting with you. I guess I’ll see you around then,” he smiled and we bid our goodbyes and went separate ways.

On my way back home, I couldn’t help but think. What would happen if the past was different? If I never let Junhyung go. Would we be able to keep our relationship for so long until marriage like me and Jay now? Would I have met Jay if was still with Junhyung? Would Jae Hee be in my life if I didn’t break up with Junhyung?

I’m happy with the life I have now even though the path of getting here is tough. I didn’t regret breaking up with Junhyung. If that didn’t happen, maybe I wouldn’t have Jae Hee. I wouldn’t have met Jay. I wouldn’t be living like how I am right now. Whether or not being Junhyung is better, I’m grateful that Jay is my husband now and Jae Hee is my son. And soon we’ll have a newcomer in our family.

I cooked the spaghetti and set up the table. As I placed the rose in the long glass vase in the middle of the small round table, the phone rang. I glanced at the clock. 7.10.

Oh? He’s coming home already? I haven’t even got dressed! I picked up the phone, stopping the constant ringing of the phone.

“Yeoboseyo?” I was hoping it wasn’t Jay. I haven’t got ready! This is too early!

I sighed when I heard the voice of the caller. Its definitely not Jay.

“Annyeonghasaeyo. Can I speak to Mrs Park? Jay’s wife?” he asked.

“Yes this is her. May I know who is calling?”

“Erm Mrs Park, this is his colleague from work. I need you to come to the hospital right now. Jay collapsed at work and now he is in a very critical condition. Please come to Seoul General hospital right now Mrs Park,” he said.

I couldn’t move. I just couldn't.
