SON'S HEIR (MICHAENG) (18+) CONVERTED

CHAPTER 8

Mina's POV

It's been about two and a half months
since Chaeyoung started acting... weird. Sometimes she'll smile a little at me, or She might ask me how i'm doing. It's just not like her. And yes, it's new but it's better than arguing everytime I see her Anyways, I have an appointment today to find out the gender of the baby, and I can't help but be excited. Jeongyeon's the
only one here. Chaeyoung had to leave for a  business trip a month ago and she hasn't been back. She's only called once but.. I guess I have to give her the benefit of the doubt, I mean it's a business trip. She's probably busy.

"Jeongyeon!" I yell from my bathroom.

"You ready?" She replies back.

"Yeah." I say. I walk down the stairs
and I grab a bottle of apple juice.

"Come on, we gotta go. You and your
brother both like to be late when I
rush." I say.

"Okay, okay. C'mon."

We walk out and as soon as we lock the doors to the house, a loud engine revs and Chaeyoung comes speeding into the car lot, coming to a complete stop in front of us. A smile spreads across my face as She gets out of the car.

"You're late." I say with a smile.

"I made it."

"I didn't think.."

"Im here, aren't I?" She says, a small
smile painted onto his face.

I walk up to her and I go to give her a
hug but I stop, trying to figure out how to do this. I just stand in front of her with a smile. "Thank you for showing up."

"Let's go. We have twenty minutes to be there."

"Right. Thank you Jeongyeon." I say.

"No problem." She says getting into her car to start it and pull off.

I get into the car and she drives to the
office. We get out and walk in, signing
in and waiting. They call us back and
Yuju appears.

"Hey Mina. How are you feeling
today?"

"Better. Just taking it one day at a time."

"That's good. Hey, are we excited to
find out the gender?"

"Very."I say. I look over to Chaeyoung and she's swiping away on her phone.
What is she doing? I thought she..
Whatever. She's probably trying to hold things down where she left from.

"Alright let's get started.". She squirts
jelly onto my stomach and spreads it
around my small bump and tries to
locate the baby.

"Baby's playing hide-and-seek." she
says giggling.

"Where are you honey?" I say with a
smile.

After a few moments she finds baby
and she steadies the sonogram. She
locates all it's body parts and tinkers
with things before a thudding noise
starts.

It's the heartbeat.

My heart skips a beat as I hear my
baby's heart pounding. It's sounds so..
unreal. I know I'm pregnant but...I
just can't believe that I actually am.
"Oh my gosh." I say tearing up, lining
my fingertips up with the bridge of my nose. "It still gets me when I hear it." I say with a small laugh in between tears.

"It's normal, hun. Be emotional. This
is just one of the best things about
pregnancy. It's exciting. Alright. Let's
find out what baby is."

She does some tinkering with the
keyboard and mouse, moving the
transducer around some. After a bit of
adjusting, she turns to me with a smile.

"It's a boy!" she says with a smile.
I turn to Chaeyoung, smiling from ear to ear just to see her scrolling and typing things.

"Chaeyoung it... it's a boy." I say, my smile fading.

She looks up to me and gives me a smile, returning to her phone screen. My chest caves in and I almost feel like crying.

I turn to yuju, putting a fake smile on
my face to hide my sadness. "Thank
you so much, but can we... just-can we
finish this up?" I ask, stuttering on the
verge of tears.

We finish the ultrasound and I take
the pictures and grab my things,
walking out of the door. We walk
out of the building and I walk to the
car, slamming the door when I get in.
Chaeyoung looks up and speed-walks to the car. She shuts the door and puts
her fingers over her lips, rubbing them downward before he turns to speak.

"What the hell is your problem?"

"What the fuck is your problem, huh?
You show up unannounced to come to
my appointment, and when I actually
thought you cared about me and your
baby you pull stupid shit like this.
You weren't even listening or paying
attention to anything that happened.
You can't even tell me the sex of your
damn baby."

He looks defeated, staying silent. I
scoff.

"That... that's exactly what I pictured
you'd do." I sit back in my seatbelt,
folding my arms across my chest.
The whole car is filled with an
ear-piercing silence as we make the
drive back to the house. When we pull
up she talkes her seatbelt off and gets
ready to get out of the car. I take my
seatbelt off and sit for a second before I speak.

"You're so fucked up Chaeyoung." I say, and then I step out of the car and shut the door, walking to the house. "F*cking self-centered..." I mumble, walking quickly to the door.

I think about knocking on the door
but I remember that Jeongyeon left when we did and probably won't be back til' early in the morning.

I stand, pissed off at how slowly she's
getting to the door and I wait for her
to unlock it. When she does, I forcefully push the door open, walking up the stairs to my room. I shut my door and my eyes well up with tears as I begin to cry

Chaeyoung POV

Her door slams and I sigh, throwing my keys in the dish at the door. I take my shoes off and unbutton the black shirt I threw on, walking to the kitchen.

I find a shot glass and I just forget
about it, drinking straight from the
bottle. I know I fucked up. What
frustrates me the most is the fact that
she doesn't know why I'm as busy
as I am. She doesn't know what I do.
Hell, she still believes I'm a wealthy
businessman even though I carry a
gun everywhere I go. Then again, her
oblivious mind would think it's just
protection.

That still doesn't make up for the fact
that I've been completely dismissive
about everything. Dismissive and
inattentive.

I've been acting careless about her and this situation and I know I have to stop. I don't even know why I'm saying all this to myself. Since when have I ever cared about a woman so much? Much less, her. But then again, she's different.She actually cares about bettering our relationship. She actually cares about this baby.

I can't be the only one not willing to
make this work. I see that now.
I have to find some way to apologize to her.
