Summary : Kyuhyun has to deal with a stranger girl named Sungmin, who suddenly come into his life... and his apartment.
Heyho~ I'm still alive LoL
Sungmin sits on her bed as she come back to her room, breathing heavily. She just can’t understand Siwon sometimes. How could he do that? Really.. what is his intention anyway? His voice is still echoing in her ears, “I want to marry your daughter sooner.”
Sungmin’s currently massaging her temple when she hears a knock on her door and then Sungjin face appears. “Minnie... can i come in?”
“Of course, Oppa.. please come in.” Sungmin answer with a small smile to her only brother. Sungjin is very busy that they only got a plenty of chance to meet each other. He’s always going overseas to do some business deals.
“How are you? I heard you’re sick for a few days.. I’m sorry, oppa was away, couldn’t accompany you.” Sungjin says sincerely with somehow a bitter smile that isn’t related to the fact that he’s being busy. He stretch his arm to her shoulder and encircle it, bringing her closer. Sungmin only can reply with a force smile, as if telling him she seems good but hurt inside. And somehow Sungjin already understand their body language. That’s how they communicate.
“I’m fine now, Oppa. Don’t worry...” She replies after heave a long sigh, while thinking she will break down in front of those concerned eyes.
“Don’t overwork yourself neh, dear little sister. Your oppa cannot take care of you because he’s so busy and currently preparing for his engagement.” He chuckles to himself, making her head resting on his shoulder while Sungmin wrap her hands around his waist.
“It’s okay... I should have taken care of myself, i’m not a girl anymore, Oppa.” They look at each other with a bitter smile that Sungmin almost cry. But then she changes topic to brighten up the atmosphere, “How’s she? Is she prettier than me?” Sungmin grins, while her brother only chuckles.
“She’s pretty, but you’re still prettier of course haha... but don’t tell her about this, okay?” They laugh together. “You seem okay with her, Oppa. I’m glad.” Sungmin’s eyes glisten with tears.
“You and Siwon will be fine, too. I see he care about you so much, Minnie. People indeed change.” Sungjin strokes her hair lovingly. For some moments they exchange a meaningful stare, while suddenly someone is peeking in the door.
“Oh, sorry... did i interrupt something?” That’s Siwon speaking.
“No, Siwon. Please come in, i’m done with my sister.” Sungjin gives Sungmin a last glance and hug, then leave the room.
“Hey...” Siwon greets with a smile, approaching her. But Sungmin looks away and lay on the bed, her back facing him. Confused, Siwon sit on the edge and sigh.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” He strokes her hair, unable to see her face clearly. She responds it with an ambiguous head shake.
“Please... Sungmin... Don’t make me confused like this. If there’s anything wrong, especially about me, just please blurt it out. I just want you to start believing me. Yes?” Siwon pleads, but she doesn’t budge. He waits silently.
But then she snap in a low tone, “I should be the one whose confused, Siwon.. What did you say to my mother just now in her room?” She sits up and lean onto the head board. Her flaring glare bores into his eyes while he’s staying stiff then sigh.
“Sungmin... ple-“
“No, Siwon.. so what’s your real intention?” Sungmin is indeed confused, she feels angry yet ashamed of his action. She just can’t express it up that she herself don’t know how to react. She is freaking carrying another guy’s baby, but her fiancee insist to marry her.
Ahhhhhhh. She grabs her tummy all of a sudden, but trying to hold the pain she feels there. She avoid his gaze and look away. Not now please.. ahhh.. hurts.
Siwon watch her shaking a bit while biting her lips. “Sungmin... are you okay?” he grabs her arms concernedly.
She tries to pry his hand but fail. Then she moves her hand to her throat, this is unbearable. She gets up abruptly then storm to the bathroom, followed by Siwon whose panicking.
She bent down on her knees in front of the toilet and begin vomiting. She doesn’t know why it is like a habit that she will go to the toilet instead of the washstand. Once again she feels so vulnerable. So this is how a morning sick is like. She bitterly smile in her mind.
Somehow, Siwon manages to enter the bathroom as well, now that he’s comforting her but shocked at the same time. On the other hand, Sungmin doesn’t want him to witness this. So, once she calms down a bit, she tell him to go out. “You’re not supposed to be here. Please..” She pushes him with remain energy she has, eyes fluttering shut and open.
“Not when you’re like this, Min... Please let me-“
“No! Get out!” she shouts, shocking him even more. “I SAID GET OUT!” she yell more furiously while the tears streaming down on her cheeks, but still avoid his gaze. She feels so dirty. You’re not supposed to see this. Can’t you see i’m dirty, but why you’re still here? Are you that stupid, Siwon?
Sungmin just feel bad towards her fiancee, it is just that. It’s indescribable. She just doesn’t want Siwon to see her current state. Miserable because another man she love the most, yet her fiancee never give up on their marriage. She slams the door once Siwon got out, then leaning over it, continue crying hysterically.
On the other side, Siwon sits and lean on the wall beside the door, massaging his own temple. The situation seems so messed up that he is confused himself. He never has a bad intention towards this marriage plan. He just wanted to protect and help her, is that wrong? Or is it so?
“Sungmin... can’t you feel it? Really... i.. “ He trails off. He can still her weeping in the other side of the room behind him.
After some minutes of silence, only some weeps and sniffs in between, Siwon finally say those words which stops Sungmin from her cry. “I love you, Sungmin. Let me marry you and take care of your baby.”
Sungmin is dumbstruck on her spot, biting her lower lip to prevent her from trembling. And when finally she decides to give in, she opens the door and see him standing with a concerned and determined look, but still a gentle smile playing on his face.
It is the moment when Sungmin falls into his embrace, and continue crying her heart out.
It is the moment when Siwon decides that he will never let go of this woman in his embrace.
~~~~~
The next day, both Sungmin and Siwon’s parents already agree that the wedding will be held as soon as possible. Siwon reasons out that their relationship has been so close, so why not they hold the wedding sooner.
Alright.. actually he just doesn’t want her parents to find out that she’s carrying Kyuhyun’s baby. So, when the time her bulging tummy appear, he can claim it as his.
It is near Christmas now. Siwon decides to take Sungmin to go on vacation together to Tokyo. She agrees, or rather no choice. She has given up? She’s not really sure.
During the trip in Tokyo, they stay in a cottage owned by Choi family, located near the beach. They have decided to stay there even it’s a cold winter while usually no one going to a beach. But yeah, it’s Sungmin choice and Siwon just follow whatever she wants.
There’s only the two of them in the house, except the house keeper who’s even rarely seen around. They will go out in the noon then back home in the evening. When at home Sungmin always insists to cook their meals. “I’m okay, Siwon, don’t worry. I can take care of myself.” That one firm answer is enough to make Siwon go silent.
Sometimes she still experience morning sick, but not that often. This moment actually is some kind of getting-closer-to-each-other-more moment that Siwon has planned, but sometimes her swing mood fail them. One time, Sungmin is fine, chuckling to a comedy show on tv or to something’s funny on the street when they go out, or even to Siwon’s nice-try jokes.
But another time, she will keep silent with blank face, that Siwon think her thoughts are flying to another part of this world. When it happen, he just let her be, only watching her to make sure she wouldn’t do harm on herself. Siwon thinks that with that way, he lets her settle her feelings at the moment.
Even when the night comes, Siwon will go to her room silently, make sure she get her proper rest. He frowns as he sees her face is full of anxiety even in her sleep. What should i do to make you cheer up again, Sungmin?
One afternoon in Christmas eve when they spend time to watch movie on tv, a romantic comedy one, Siwon feels her stiffen on his shoulder as the the movie shows some lovey dovey happy scene between the main characters. Then she move from his shoulder to sit straight with some kind of emo face.
“Sungmin.. what’s wrong?” Siwon takes her hand to comfort. She just shakes her head, not wanting to answer. Then Siwon startle when she gets up quickly and leave the room, taking her long jacket out. “Sungmin! Where are you going? It’s very cold outside!” Siwon runs after her, but he quickly stop on his track as she firmly raise her hand up without looking back. Siwon thinks she’s kinda scary when she’s like this, so better not trying to mess up.
“Please, don’t... I... I just need some time alone.” She says then leave to the shore. Siwon can only sigh in defeat, watching her from afar.
Sungmin sits down on the sand, bringing her knees to her chest and put her chin above them, crying silently. It’s hard, she thought. It is hard to accept the reality that she’s carrying Kyuhyun’s baby, but it’s Siwon who will marry her. And the wedding is going to be held soon. It’s hard when my mind, my heart, and my body still belong to that man, that man i love so much.
She uses that time to calm and settle the unbearable feelings, burrying her face into her knees as she cries shakily. Meanwhile, Siwon is outside already and watching her carefully without being noticed.
“Siwon...” she says after coming back to the house, approaching him. “Mianhae... but.. but why does it feel so hurt?” without hesitation, Siwon takes her to his embrace, and no fight from Sungmin. It might be the thing she needs now, a comfort.
“It’s okay it’s okay, Min... I’m always here. But you must take care of yourself, for your own good, for the baby... Understand?” Siwon slightly pulls away only to make her look at him. Sungmin nods, eventhough not fully confirming that she would do that. Because... she can’t promise anything, not so sure about what future might be.
~~~~~
It’s been 4 months. The bulge on Sungmin’s tummy is getting appeared, but if people really pay attention though. Because she stays thin, making Siwon and Heechul worried even more. Yes, Heechul knows the truth now. Sungmin didn’t want to lie to her, moreover she knows she needs a friend to share beside Siwon.
Luckily, Sungmin manages to stay healthy. And now they are preparing for the wedding which would be held two months from now. Last week, they finally told their parents that Sungmin is expecting baby, Siwon’s baby. The parents were shocked of course, but feel happy however, even though they lied about the pregnancy age. So they really fasten the wedding. But the engage couple has asked their parents to not celebrate the wedding with a big party. They want it to be more sacred and intimate only between the both family, and to add that Sungmin already has a baby bump.
Sungmin is currently walking around the mall alone, waiting for Siwon to come to have dinner together. Siwon has told her to go to the mall first then he will come after finishing some works with business partner.
A smile creeps onto her lips when she passes a baby shop. There are a huge teddy bear at the display windows, welcoming the customers. Sungmin contemplates for a while whether she would come inside or not. But seems the temptation is as huge as the teddy bear. Finally she decides to give it a try.
A pink mini dress with white peter pan collar attracts her. She touches the mini dress lovingly, trailing down her fingers through the fabric with a bitter yet sweet smile on her face. It looks like a clothe for six months baby girl. She unconsciously land her own hand on the baby bump, feeling its existence. She’s imagining if it’s a girl, she will definitely wear cute pink clothes, just like her mother’s favorite colour. A lot of emotions filling her heart now, while she only can stroke her tummy quite longingly.
Suddenly, an unwanted teardrop falls from the corner of her eyes. Sungmin doesn’t even know why she’s crying. It’s just she’s happy but feeling empty at the same time. But then a salesgirl approaches Sungmin and greet her, she quickly looks away to wipe her tears. “Good evening, Ma’am. Can i help you? Do you like that dress?” She greets with a smile.
Sungmin only nods her head and smile to her. “I can see that. May i know how old is your pregnancy?” the salesgirl politely ask, already sure that she can see her baby bump before asking. “Eh.. it’s 4 months.” Sungmin simply replies, while continue stroking her tummy.
“Oh, congratulation. So, you haven’t found out the gender yet, i suppose?” She asks in a friendly manner. “I have a feeling it’s going to be a girl, to see you look feminine and beautifully shining. I think it’s a girl.” She laughs. “Really?” Sungmin’s eyes widen, smile doesn’t leave her face. They continue talking randomly. Sungmin says she’s only looking around, not really have intention to buy something there. Moreover, her pregnancy is only four months.
Sungmin’s phone rings, interrupting their conversation. It’s Siwon who’s calling, telling her to meet up in the lobby. “Arrasseo, i’ll be there.” With that, she bid goodbye with the salesgirl.
Meanwhile, no one knows that someone has been watching her since the moment she entered the store.
~~~~~
“Noona.. Please, i need your help.” Kyuhyun calls Ryeowook immediately after he witnessed the baby bump on Sungmin body. His voice is trembling, body is shaking nervously, he swears he nearly cry. He just met a friend in the mall but then he accidentally saw Sungmin walking alone. So, he decided to follow her. He didn’t know it would lead him to know that Sungmin is actually... pregnant? He’s shocked like hell.
Kyuhyun followed her quietly until he saw her meet Siwon in the lobby. His heart suddenly race more rapidly. It has been four months they separated, not knowing each other presence. Of course, he already assumed she is with Siwon now. But seeing that scene when Siwon half-hug his ex-girlfriend still make him boiled.
But it’s not what he is concerned about right now. It is the fact that Sungmin is pregnant. So, is it Siwon’s baby? But why is it that fast she has moved on? And even if she had moved on, is it possible that she has a four months pregnant?
Some thoughts are running through his mind. What if it is actually...
Kyuhyun shakes his head. I should think logically... yes... i should make sure of it.
That’s why he calls Ryeowook, the one that he thinks can help him in this kind of situation. And when Ryeowook listens carefully to what his sayings, something click on her brain. She remembers when she saw Sungmin in the hospital, looking confused alone.
“Kyuhyun, take a breathe now. Listen. I wil try to figure this out, okay? Give me some times.” Ryeowook replies him, feeling nervous inside.
