Snow was falling from the sky and cold winds were blowing. Because of which the few leaves that were left on the tree were falling. Yeona was watching these leaves being blown away by the wind, but her attention was not on those leaves. she was lost in her own world.

I want to hurt you. Beomgyu's words were was going on in her mind. A pout rested on her heart shape lips. What did he mean? Does he like me or not?

Suddenly, the sound of door opening startle her. She turned her head to see her mother standing at the door looking at Yeona with slightly concerned eyes.

"Why are you so quiet ever since you came back with Jungwon?" She asks as she makes herself comfortable on the bed.
"Um...." Should I ask her? Nope! She'll make a fuss about it. "Nothing," I replied bluntly.

She narrowed her eyes gazing at me suspiciously. I keep looking at her with my drooped gaze, assuring her by lying with my expression that nothing is wrong.

"Is it a boy?" The hell? "No, mom! Where will I get a boy here?"
"Is he from yojr college?"
"I told you mom, it's not about-"
"Is he handsome?"
"Yeah- no! Wait. MOM!" I shouted and she giggled when she saw me flushing red. I bite my lower lips trying to supress my emotions. She got up and walked upto my desk.

"Unclench your jaws and stop repressing your emotions. Yeona, no need to hide it if you like him." She whispered gently. I stiffened when her gentle brown eyes met mine. My heart picked its pace. I like him? NO! THIS IS... maybe.

"I don't like that..." bastard. "I mean that guy."

Yeona's mother smiled, seeing her child's flushed face and longing eyes. She chose not to say anything.

"Okay if you say so...by the way your friends are here. They are checking in the hotel." Her mom informed, Yeona jerked her head and smiled.
"Oh you should've told me earlier."

Yeona knew it was Narae and Ari. She rushed downstairs and made her way to the lobby. Her house and hotel was connected with a door behind the counter. She opened the door and stepped out, her eyes met Ari and Narae's eyes which glinted as soon as they saw Yeona.

And Yeona jumped and hugged them tightly.

"Hiiiiiiiiii!" Three of them squealed in happiness and perhaps this was the first time in last few years did Yeona's father who was standing near the counter saw his  daughter expressing her happiness. He too couldn't help but feel emotional, but he held himself back and smiled.

"Yeona, why don't you guide them to their room?" Yeona's dad proposed. Yeona nodded cheerfully grabbing the keys her father had just placed on the counter. Yeona guided Narae and Ari to their assigned rooms as they talked and helped them get comfortable before leaving them for some rest.

"Wow! I really love the ambience of this place," Ari unnie said. I smiled agreeing with her.

"I'm glad that you like it," I replied.

My eyes noticed Narae fiddling with her food. She was lost in some other world.

"Narae Unnie!" I called her out softly, shaking her hand softly.

She jerked out of her dream world. She looked at me with a shocked expression. She smiled, "Yeah?"

"Nothing....do you not like the food? I'll ask cook to make something else?"

"No! I like it. I had some thoughts in my head,"

"You okay? Narae?" Ari unnie asked gently, touching her shoulder. Narae suddenly gazed at Ari and her eyes lowered to check Ari out. I narrowed my eyes, puzzled.

"I'm okay. But are you okay?" She asked, her eyes still looking at her belly.

"I'm... I just have motion sickness."

"YOU HAD MOTION SICKNESS?!" I exclaimed and slammed the table. I felt worried that I didn't know she was not feeling well.

"It's not a big deal. It happens sometimes," Ari said giggling.

"As I thought, you don't know!" Narae sighed, massaging her head. Anything I have noticed after spending time with them is their habits. Narae massages the side of her head with her index finger when she is stressed out.

Ari suddenly became quiet, feeling the seriousness of the conversation.

"What do you mean to say?" She asked calmly.

"You're pregnant!" Narae blurted out bluntly.

"WHAT?" Ari shierked and slammed the table. Narae hid her face in her palms out of god knows what? And my eyes widened as I held the glass of water near my mouth, quietly sipping the water.

After a moment of silence, Ari raised her hand and kept it on her belly. I could see horror visible in her eyes. As she zoned out for a moment. I leaned forward towards Narae.

"How'd you know she is pregnant?" I asked, whispering.

She said, "Female werewolves have this ability to hear and smell unborn foetuses," she whispered back. I glanced at Ari for a moment. She still looked like she was processing the news.

"Th-that's a cool ability. Is she sad or surprised?"

"I don't know. Her relationship with brother-in-law is quite nice. Both of them shamelessly make out in the corridor," She said, I smiled sheepishly.

Suddenly Ari pinched Narae's cheeks. Narae winced in pain, while glaring at Ari.

"Why don't you tell Soobin what you and Soobin did in the pavilion a few days ago?" She snarked. Narae's eyes widened and her face flushed red, "H-how d-how do you know that?" Narae stuttered and struggled to form words. I couldn't help but laugh.

So Ari unnie is pregnant so cute.
