✔️ [Jaerosé] Because of our child

Chapter 3: He needs to end things with her

Jaehyun was sitting in the living room, across Yeri who was still playing with the child. He seemed to like Yeri a lot and had gotten used to her presence. Yeri then stood up, "oppa, I will bring him up to my room and sleep first."

Jaehyun nodded. It's not that Jaehyun disliked the child that's why he appeared indifferent. He just could not come to terms with being a dad so soon. If this boy is proven to be his son, it would also mean that Naeun had been lying to him. How would he be able to clear up this mess? Part of him wished that this might be a misunderstanding.

He sat in the living room by himself for a long while before his mum came to him.

"Taeyong called. The results are out. Park Chaeyoung was not lying."

Jaehyun looked up at his mum, loss for words.

"And your dad had already asked his assistant to look into Park Chaeyoung's background. It was true she gave birth three years ago. Chaeyoung had a heart condition and could not go fo abortion, so she had no choice but to give birth and had been bringing her son up all alone. There was no information on the father of the child registered. The child was born with health condition anemia, and required a lot of medical attention over the last three years. It was only until recently his condition stabilised."

Jaehyun felt his heart wrenching as he listened to his mother. Chaeyoung had been all alone, bringing her son, no, their son up. He could not believe how much they have suffered just because he did not know about their existence.

Looking at how her son went silent, Jaehyun's mum sat down beside him and put her hand over his.

"It really sounded like they have suffered quite a bit. What do you intend to do?" Jaehyun's mum's tone softened at this moment. She knew what her son needed now is comfort and support.

The two of them then discussed the next steps through the night and reached a conclusion - he will take responsibility for what he had done, now, towards the right persons. Of course, Chaeyoung may not have intention to be together with him. And he too, did not have any romantic feelings for her at this moment. Hence, he decided not to force it when it comes to the relationship between him and Chaeyoung. Even if they do not get together, at least with his family helping to take care of their son, she might have time to pursue her own happiness too. That's only fair for her. So now he had to ensure he cares for his son and give him the best attention he needs..

As for naeun, did he really fall for her after that incident? He didn't have an answer too. But four years of spending time together definitely had brought them closer. He tried his best to develop feelings for her over the four years of relationship just because he wanted to be responsible, only to realise he was caught in her lies. He wasn't exactly heartbroken. He was disappointed. And now, he needs to end things with her.
