“So why don’t you tell him?!” Eden whined loudly as the conversation on telling Jiyong the baby was his escalated into an all-out debate.

“I can’t just step up and say ‘hey, I only came here for the wedding, but on a side note, I’m pregnant with your kid!” Hoku snapped back frustrated at what to actually do.

“Do you still love him?” Steph asked suddenly calming Hoku down a bit so she could take a seat on the couch, holding her stomach in a protective manner. She turned her attention to the bulge in her mid-section before sighing.

“I don’t know.” She whispered unsure as the girls sighed annoyed.

“IT’S EITHER YOU LOVE THE MAN OR DON’T!” Eden shouted irritated as Hoku growled before shooting off the couch.

“I LOVE HIM, ALRIGHT?! I LOVE HIM AND IT’S DRIVING ME INSANE BEING HERE!” Hoku shouted in tears, falling to her on the couch, holding her face in her hands. It was true, ever since she ran into at the hotel back in Jeju, he had been haunting her mind, her dreams, her every day, but she was scared. Scared to admit it, scared to go back to him and be hurt again. She had just recently been able to piece back her heart, and she wasn’t sure if she would be able to take it again. The girls all sighed, taking a seat around her before comforting her.

“If you love him, why don’t you tell him?” Selena offered wrapping an arm around her shoulder. Hoku sniffled leaning her head onto Selena’s shoulder.

“I’m scared.” Hoku whispered as the girls all pouted. Of course she would be scared.

“I’m scared if I go back to him, I’ll be hurt again, and I won’t survive this time.” Hoku whispered as Steph patted her knee.

“Hoku, no matter what happens; we’ll always be here for you. Jiyong has regretted every day, everything that he had ever done to hurt you.” Eden whispered patting her thigh.

“Even if I chose to go back, what am I going to do with Michael? I can’t just kick him to the curb, he’s been there for me from the beginning.” Hoku whined looking around to her friends as they sighed.

“If he’s as much of a sweetheart as you put him out to be, he’ll understand.” Steph mentioned as Hoku hesitantly nodded, agreeing. But to be honest, she had been noticing a sudden change in Michael’s demeanor since they’ve been here. He’s like a totally different person. She wasn’t sure if it would be that easy.

Knock-Knock

The girls broke apart while Hoku wiped her tears quickly on her sleeve.

“You think it’s the guys?” Eden asked as Selena snorted climbing off the couch before looking through the peep hole. It was being blocked by a finger. Selena rolled her eyes.

“Has to be them.” She muttered annoyed, opening the door about to snap only to be pushed on the side by non-other than Michael.

“What the hell?!” She snapped marching after him as he walked into the living room, just glaring down at Hoku who stared up at him in horror.

“You better have a good reason for pushing me on the side you bastard!” Selena snapped as Hoku slowly stood up with Eden and Steph flanking her on both sides. He eyed her up as she began to shrink under his stare, there was something off about him, something snapped inside of him, he wasn’t the same Michael she knew, and for once, she felt threatened.

“M-michael what are you doing here?” Hoku stuttered in a small voice while Steph suddenly wrapped a protective arm around her shoulder. The girls didn’t like him, especially the way he was here now, he read insane and psychotic. He smirked looking to the girls in the room while he placed his hands on his hips.

“Is your phone broken?” He asked amused and began walking around the room, looking at random things. Something wasn’t right.

“Um, no.” Hoku answered while Selena walked over and stood in front of Hoku.

“That’s strange, I’ve been calling you since two days ago.” He spoke back sounding strangely happy as he turned his attention towards her, a hint of possessiveness flowing off his tongue.

“I’m s-sorry, I didn’t……” She started before being interrupted by his strange laugh.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t know, that’s bull and you know it.” He spat no longer holding a smile.

“No, I didn’t know.” She retorted as he looked up through his black hair, growling at her.

“Baby, how stupid do you take me?” He asked back to his teasing ways as he began making his way slowly towards her.

“You’re not stupid.” She whispered as Selena put her arm up in front of Hoku in case he was going to try something.

“So you still love him, huh?” He asked stopping a few inches in front of Selena, smirking down to Hoku’s stunned expression.

“W-what?” She stuttered as he chuckled putting a hand through his hair annoyed.

“I always wondered why women talked so loud, I could hear you all yelling the moment I got off the elevator.” He hissed through his teeth making eye contact with each girl. Hoku’s hands began sweating, her heart was beating out of her chest, and she suddenly felt sick.

“I-I…” She stuttered before he chuckled looking up to her once more.

“I knew something like this was going to happen, so before anything does, we’re leaving.” He spoke seriously, holding his hand out as Hoku flinched expecting more.

“She’s not going anywhere.” Steph spoke as he chuckled looking over to her.

“That isn’t your call, now is it? Best keep your trap good if you know what’s good for you.” He spat as she gasped in surprise.

“Hey! Don’t talk to my friends that way!” Hoku yelled as he turned his glare back to her suddenly making her feel smaller than she actually was.

“Shut up, let’s go.” He commanded holding his hand out again as Hoku stood her ground with her friends nearby.

“Hoku, I don’t want to make this harder than it has to, but if that’s what I have to do to get you out of here, I will.” He explained as Hoku held her hands to her stomach protectively.

“You either chose to come willingly with me, or I will have to use force on you and your little friends. Now chose.” He smiled evilly as Selena stood more in front of her, blocking her from his view.

“You’re not taking her anyone. I don’t like your attitude, and honestly I don’t like you period, best if you leave, NOW.’ Selena growled as he fixed the collar on the suit he was wearing before smirking down to her.

“You asked for it.” He mentioned through a hiss, swinging followed by the 3 girls screaming....
