Strings ; [Soobin x Reader]

The Unexpected

After a few tries of trying to start the engine, my car completely dies. I step out and notice a note on my windshield. It reads:

This is only the beginning Soobin. You stole so much from me, I'm just taking it back.

"Shit," I mutter. I fumble through my pockets to find my phone to dial a taxi but I realized since I was in such a hurry to see Yeonjun, I must've forgotten it at our place.

This is going to be a long walk back home.

Y/N POV:

"He's been gone for ages now, do you think something happened?" Yeonjun asks worried.

"I'm sure everything is fine," Roseanne says munching on some chips. She's literally always eating a snack.

"I'll call him," Yeonjun suggests.

After trying three times, he shakes his head.

My patience is really running thin with Soobin right now. He chose Taehyung over talking to me, and still isn't back here when he told me we'd talk later.

~ Riiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiing. ~

"Is that him??" I ask.

"No it's Lisa- hold on," Roseanne puts it on speaker.

"Rosie? What's going on? And where's Y/N?" she asks frantically.

"She's here," Roseanne replies.

"I'm okay Lalisa," I reassure her.

"Oh thank goodness Y/N! Everyone was so worried about you... and then that stupid article- Jennie and Jisoo unnies know it was fake don't worry," she says and I feel an instant wave of relief.

Until I suddenly feel sick to my stomach.

"I'm sorry guys I all of a sudden don't feel too good, I'm gonna head upstairs to bed."

"Do you need anything? Water?" Roseanne asks me with a concerned look on her face.

"No no it's okay, I just need to lay down," I walk upstairs and instantly collapse on the bed.

Euughhhh why do I feel like this? Did I eat something bad?  Come to think of it, I don't think I ate anything today.

My thoughts are interrupted when a huge wave a nausea hits me and I rush to the bathroom.

Any content that could have possibly been in my stomach is now gone. I crawl back to my bed and try to ignore my thumping head and racing heart beat. I pray that I feel better in the morning.

•••

"Y/N?" I hear a familiar voice call out to me.

"Who is it?" I barely let out a mumble.

"Roseanne, silly! How are you feeling?" she lays her hand on my side.

"Like death," I reply back with my eyes still closed.

"Well when you're feeling better there's pancakes and strawberries downstairs for you," she says getting up and gently closes the door.

I check my phone and it reads 11:30 am.

Oh gosh I really slept in- wait Soobin! He's gotta be back by now.

I suddenly find the energy to rush out of bed, but as soon as I stand up I begin to feel dizzy.

"Ugh," I say rubbing my forehead.

I make my way to the bathroom and brush my teeth.

Maybe I feel this way because I got my period?

I check to see if I left any stains and there's none. Then I open my period tracker app and it says i'm a week overdue.

My heart sinks.

Oh no, this can't be happening.

I rummage through the bathroom drawer and find a box of pregnancy testers.

My heart races as I wait until the results are ready.

What will happen if it actually is positive? I haven't been working that long so I don't have enough money saved, and Soobin and I aren't ready to be parents.

My hand shakes as I reach for the tester to read the results on the screen.

Two red lines clearly show up.

"Oh fuck."

SOOBIN POV:

Lalisa found me on the street and offered to let me stay the night, and will drive me back tomorrow. Roseanne and Yeonjun explained to her everything that's been going on, but she's still mad at me for making Y/N cry.

"I really do love her," I say staring out the car window.

"But...?"

"I just- ugh I don't know. I have so much pressure on me as the leader of TXT, you must understand."

"Well not exactly because we don't have a leader in Blackpink. But I can imagine that it's stressful for you."

"I just keep letting Y/N down with all my responsibilities I have. And it kills me because she's always been so supportive and encouraging about the whole thing," I sigh, "And I'm going on tour soon."

"Does Y/N know?"

"No, I haven't gotten the chance to tell her yet."

"I'm not going to say it's impossible for idols to date, but it can't go on like this between you two. If you're gonna make it work, you need to communicate. Y/N at least deserves that much."

Soon after our conversation she pulls into the driveway. I shut my door and follow her inside.

"The guest room is upstairs, second door to your right," she says plopping down on the couch.

"Aren't you tired? It's almost 2 am," I ask while slipping my shoes off.

"I go to sleep late," she replies and turns the TV on.

I take that as a signal she wants to be alone, so I head upstairs. She's been kinda quiet after our conversation... I wonder if something similar has happened to her in the past?

I make my way to the guest room and allow myself to relax for the first time today as my body sinks into the memory foam mattress.

I'm coming for you Y/N, and we'll have a real conversation this time. I promise.
