Second Chances

~Seventeen~

Zuho runs into the building and takes the stairs up to her apartment, not wanting to wait for the elevator. He punches in her code, she gave it to him a while ago, and pushes the door open. He runs in and finds Y/n sitting on the couch with her head down and knees to her chest. He rushes over and sits by her, taking her into his arms immediately. He runs his hand over her head as she starts to cry again. "Baby what's wrong? Please talk to me. I'm here now." She says nothing, just cries. He hugs her tighter, hearing her cry is breaking him. "Please baby. Please talk to me." "I'm pregnant" she whispers and sobs louder. He freezes. His whole body freezes. Mind goes blank. Pregnant. He pulls back slowly and looks at her. "What?" She keeps her head lowered but hands him the stick. He takes it and looks at it. Two pink lines. His breath stops. He feels like he's been punched in the lungs, all his breath leaves him. He sits for a minute staring at the stick, then looks at her. "Wha-I mean...umm, how? How did this...." "How do you think Zuho?" She coldly snaps at him. His reaction is what she expected but not what she'd hoped for. He placed the stick on the coffee table and sighed. She cried more. She felt worse. "I don't....I mean. Ok...." He was having a hard time processing this. "It's fine Zuho. I'm not expecting anything from you. I just thought you should know." She's still cold and her words and tone hurts him. "What does that mean? Are you keeping it?" She looks up to the ceiling and laughs bitterly. Then she locks eyes with his, him seeing hurt and coldness filling hers. "Yeah Zuho, I am. I'm not aborting something that didn't ask to be created because we weren't careful" she spat out. He never expected her to get rid of it, he just wanted to know her thoughts. It was her body after all. "I didn't mean it like that" he said quietly. She sighs and says, "I meant you don't have to be involved. I get it, you're an idol. This will ruin your career. I can do this myself. I thought you have a right to at least know." He sits back, processing what she said. "I thought you were on the pill?" That jab was the last. "I fucking am!" She stands and he does too. "I didn't mean-" "I think you should go" she coldly says. He takes a step back. "What?" She wipes her face and holds her head up and looks at him. "I said I think you should go. I've told you like I promised myself I would. Now you can go." He doesn't move. She scoffs and starts to walk toward the front door to let him out, but he grabs her and pulls her to him. He hugs her tight and softly says, "I don't want to go Y/n. I'm sorry for how I reacted. It was just a shock. But I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. We'll figure this out together baby. I'm not leaving you." Y/n cries harder into his shirt and grips it tight. "What are we going to do? I ruined you. Ruined your career" she sobs. He soothes her and kisses her head, holding her tighter. "You didn't ruin my career baby. Nothing is ruined. We'll figure this out. We're going to have this baby. Together. I'm not leaving your side. I love you."

She squeezes tighter to him and whispers, "don't say that because I'm pregnant." He pulls her face up and cups it in his large hands, making her look at him. He leans down and kisses her softly. "I'm not saying it because you're pregnant. I'm saying it because I love you. I do Y/n. I love you. And I'll be right here beside you through all this." He kisses her again and smiles. "We're going to have a baby! This is a good thing. A baby can never be a bad thing. I know it's scary right now and definitely not the way either of us planned to start a family but....it's here. And I'm not leaving you, either of you." He smiles at her and she sticks her lip out pouting. "I'm scared" she confesses. He nods and kisses her. "I know. I am too. But we'll get through this together. Everything will be fine." He hugs her tight one more time then pulls away from her. "Now, you were sick. Do you still feel sick? I'm here to take care of you baby." She smiles for the first time since looking at the test and shakes her head. "I'm fine. I feel better. Still tired though." He nods and holds her hand, guiding her down the hall to her bedroom. "Let's take a nap then." He takes her to the bed and pulls the comforter back for her to slide in. He then walks around and slides in behind her. He pulls her against him and kisses her head. "Sleep baby. I'm here." It doesn't take long before her body gives in, exhausted from the events of the day.
