School's over. I've been so out of it the whole day.  Today is the day. Chaeyoung and I will go to the clinic to have a check up. 

I am really nervous. There's a lot of thing going through my mind. 

I saw Chaeyoung's car when I got off work. 

I hopped on to her car and she has this annoyed look on her face.

"Which clinic are we going to?" I asked her while fixing my sunglasses. 

"Why do you look like that?" She looks at me like she's seeing a lunatic. 

I am not wearing anything funny. I had my hair down as usual. I just have my sunglasses on, my dangling earrings that I don't usually wear. I am wearing a white collared top with a  pink tailored double-breasted blazer with a matching pencil skirt that goes just above my knees paired with my nude high heel court shoes.  

Now that I think about it, I might have put more effort into my look than what I had intended.

"haha-ha." I nervously laugh. 

"As you are well aware, my dear friend, I am in a position where I need to be a model citizen.. I need to make sure I don't get recognized." I continued. 

"You stick out more with those on!" She pointed at my glasses. 

"And so what if you're seeing a gynecologist? It's not like you never seen one before?!" she added.

Well, she's right. But I'm a bit paranoid right now. Getting pregnant while being unwed is still a taboo in our culture. And I am a teacher for ffs. 

"Take those off! You look ridiculous right now." She then grabbed the glasses and took it off of me and throw it somewhere. 

 We arrived at the clinic a moment later. 

"I knew you'd be like this, overthinking and shit. So I brought you to a luxurious clinic."

I'm really thankful for Chaeyoung. She knows me so well. 

" You don't have to worry about bumping into people you know.  So stop worrying, okay? I thought of this ahead of time" she continued. 

"I'm really thankful you brought me to this clinic.." I stopped talking as soon as I saw a familiar figure approaching us. 

"AHHHH?!!" I nearly jumped out of my seat.

What is he doing here?

"Oh, you're here." Chaeyoung said nonchalantly. 

"Yeah" he said and looked at me. 

"Chaeyoung! Why is he here!?" I whispered-shouted.

"Ah, well I told him to come and meet us here. I thought three heads are better than one." still casual. 

"You should have asked me first!" I sighed. Defeated. I went back to my seat. 

Jimin proceeded to seat beside Chaeyoung. 

"Why? We are all friends, aren't we? We've known each other for forever We've seen each other long enough that this wouldn't be weird." She countered. 

"That's not what I'm saying" I'm getting frustrated by the insensitivity of Chaeyoung. 

Does she think I'd want the guy I liked for years to know that I will become an unwed mother? 

Well, that's the problem. She doesn't know. He doesn't know. 

No one knows how I feel. 

"Just..forget it." What's the use? I don't have the energy to deal with this anymore. Not when I have a bigger problem right now.
