Fight for Us

Chapter 12

"What do you mean?"

Ryujin smiled.

"...Jimin...those nausea, all that discomfort you've been feeling for those past days...Honey...You and Minjeong just created the most beautiful thing in this world...You're pregnant, Jimin ah."

Jimin's eyes widened and she felt like her whole world stopped.

You're pregnant. Pregnant. PREGNANT.

She rolled her eyes from one side to another, not knowing what to do or say right in that moment. She breathed heavily and looked at Ryujin,

"Shin Ryujin, stop making jokes. It's not April fool's day-"

"-Schwangerschaft means pregnancy and you should know it by now."

"...Where-"

"-Here," She said, pointing at the word, "-schwangerschaft," She sighed, "I'm going to read it for you, hold on."

Ryujin cleared her throat and proceeded to translate the letter, "Miss Yu, we are pleased to inform you that you're pregnant for 3 weeks...Due to your low iron levels, we recommend you to take some folic acid so that the baby won't suffer any harm. Also, don't forget to come to the regular check ups," Ryujin sighed and looked at Jimin, "And that's my easy translation about what's written here...OMO! We should call Minjeong now! Minjeong has to know that she's going to be an eomma!"

Jimin quickly held Ryujin's wrist, preventing her from doing so.

"NO!"

"Eh? Why?" Ryujin made a shocked face, "Did you sleep with someone besides Minjeong?!"

"I've only slept with Minjeong, you idiot!" Jimin retorted at Ryujin, mad that anyone could even question her loyalty to her fiance, "But it doesn't make any sense! I took a fucking pregnancy test two weeks ago and it was negative and my period came after, I mean it doesn't-"

"-That's probably because you did the test too early or maybe when you weren't pregnant yet. And your 'period' could just be spotting."

"...I"

Jimin breathed deeply, holding her face in her hands.

"I'm going to be a mother..."

"I actually thought you and Minjeong...you know...were protected."

"And we were-!"

Suddenly her face became pale and she gasped.

"Damn."

"What?"

"University ball night...we..." She breathed in deeply, "How could I be so careless? We forgot to put a condom on because everything just happened in a rush of passion and besides I forgot...God."

"You forgot to take the pill that day," Ryujin said, understanding the logic of the problem her friend had.

The blonde held Jimin's hands, "You need to tell her, Jimin. Minjeong's going to find out soon or later...but if you tell her too late she might get mad with you," She caressed Jimin's cheeks and smiled warmly, "Smile! You're going to have a baby-!"

"-This is a joke," She looked at Ryujin frantically, "Please pinch me. Make me wake up now, please-"

"-Yu Jimin. There's a baby growing inside of your womb. Me pinching your cheeks isn't going to change a thing-"

"-But-"

"-You're studying Zoology. You're a woman. You know this is happening. Maybe your brain isn't accepting it right now, but you know this is real, Jimin ah."
