Looks are deceiving.

Who would expect the innocent looking Lay to be a playboy, who goes around flirting whenever he can? Pretty girls capture his attention the most, especially Y/N, whom he managed to slip away with after the tour with EXO.

What was even more shocking was when the girl returned months later with news that would change Lay’s life forever. “I’m pregnant with your baby,” she said. Lay, who was having a bad day that afternoon, screamed at her to get out of his sight upon hearing the news. “Stop lying to me about such matters just because you want my money! I hate people like you!”

With that, Lay left Y/N and stomped out of the room.

It was the 6^th month since Y/N found out about her pregnancy. There were times when she wondered if she should really keep the baby, for the baby was going to be fatherless when he was born. Y/N had to go for all the check-ups and therapies alone, and she had to admit that it was really tiring doing all these alone. Indeed, she should have thought of the consequences of telling Lay so early, when there was no proof or whatsoever, but Lay could not have possibly just got her out of his life after hearing the news!

Tears were b in Y/N’s eyes as she thought about how she had to bring up the baby alone, and how she would have to answer the baby’s questions as to why he was fatherless in the future. Should she make up a story? Should she tell her baby the truth? He would be too young to understand what she was talking about, but would he hate her in the future when he realized that his mother had such a past?

“What am I supposed to do?” Y/N sobbed as she buried her face into her hands, sniffing. Little did she know that someone had been watching her the whole time. “Here.” A handkerchief was placed in front of her when she removed her hands from her face. When she looked up to see who the kind soul was, she got a shock. It was the person whom she wanted to see, but at the same time, dreaded seeing. Ironic isn’t it? He was the one who told her to get out of his life, but here he was, offering a handkerchief for her to dry her tears.

Y/N scoffed and hit his hands away, saying, “What do you want from me Lay-ssi? I’m pretty sure that you told me to get out of your sight and never appear again in front of you.”

“Look, I’m here to apologize. I’m really sorry for what I’ve said to you, and I hope you’ll forgive me. I was just having a bad mood that day, so I didn’t really think through my words before blurting them out. Are you willing to forgive me?” Lay pleaded with Y/N.

Y/N softened because of Lay’s sincerity, but a part of her was still angered by the fact that she was someone who only wanted money in Lay’s eyes. “Will an apology change anything? What’s done is done! It’s been 6 months, 6 lonely months without anyone around me to help me when I needed it, there was no one I could rely on! Do you know how much I had to tolerate these 6 months? Do you…” Before she could finish her sentence, she was embraced by Lay.

“Now that I’m here, you can cry on my shoulders as much as you want. I wasn’t there for the past 6 months, but I will be here for the upcoming months, for the upcoming years when the baby grows into a teenager, for the upcoming years when the baby grows into an adult. I won’t leave the two of you alone, I promise I won’t.” Lay’s hands rubbed against Y/N’s back as he comforted her.

Y/N started sobbing again, but this time, it wasn’t because of the insecurity she had previously, it was out of joy. All the worries she had for the past 6 months disappeared without leaving any trace. After she pulled away from Lay’s embrace, something struck her. How will Lay’s fans react to this when they know about it? Will his career get affected because of her?

Lay seemed to have read her mind, as he gave her a pat on the back and said, “Calm down, my fans are all nice people, they would definitely understand why I have to do this. I have to take responsibility for what I have done too right? If I do not, it will be too unfair to you and the baby.”

Lay’s face started turning red as he stuttered through his next sentence, “Wh…what is the baby’s gender?” My lips curved upwards into a smile when I saw the shy side of him. “He’s a boy.” His eyes seemed to twinkle in delight when he heard that the baby was a boy, and his dimples could be clearly seen when he flashed a smile. Would our baby be as handsome as the father in the future? was all that Y/N could think about at that time.

“Y/N ah, I’ve talked to our manager already, he said that it would be better if we got engaged earlier, as I may be quite busy towards the end of the year due to our new album’s promotions.” Lay said.

Blood immediately rose up to Y/N's cheeks when he talked about the engagement. She had never dated in her whole life before, but now…she was going to get engaged?

“I know it’s kind of fast,” Lay added, “but the baby may be on his way any time, so it’s better to get engaged earlier, isn’t it?”  “But what’s the use of an engagement when there’s no romantic feelings between us? It would become more of a commitment to you, don’t you think?” Y/N asked.

“You know, romantic feelings can always be built up over time. Nothing is impossible in the world.”
