Spill Blood (Lomon Fanfiction)

Chapter 20

With the management pushing me to work twice as hard as before I realized I had been neglecting one crucial aspect of my life - my health. I couldn't blame them, they wanted to use the fame that I have for now.

The signs of exhaustion were evident, as I found myself unable to get out of bed in the mornings. The constant fatigue weighed me down, both physically and mentally. Every day felt like a battle, fighting against my own body's limitations. But I was stubborn, refusing to admit that I needed a break.

It all came crashing down one fateful day. As I struggled to complete my usual workload, a sharp pain shot through my chest, taking my breath away. Panic set in instantly, as I clutched my chest, my heart racing. I knew something was terribly wrong.

In a daze, I managed to call for help, and soon enough, I found myself being rushed to the hospital. The blinding lights and sterile smells surrounded me, filling me with a mixture of fear and relief. Fear, for what potential illnesses or conditions this episode might reveal. Relief, that I was finally seeking help, acknowledging the perilous state of my own well-being.

Lying on the hospital bed, I couldn't help but reflect on what had brought me to this point. The endless hours spent working, the countless nights sacrificed for the sake of reaching new heights in my career. It all seemed so insignificant now, compared to the frailty of my own body.

As the doctors informed me of my pregnancy I know I can't be careless of my body. I'm sharing another human, a life that has been given to me. The fact that I haven't told Lomon of our child has been eating me alive.

Tears coursed down my face as I realized the gravity of my own ignorance. How could I have let it come to this? How could I have been so blind to the signs of exhaustion, so blinded by my own ambition?

As I lay in the hospital bed, my mind filled with a mix of exhaustion, anticipation, and fear, a familiar face appeared in the doorway. It was Lomon, who had rushed to my side as soon as he heard about my hospitalization.

He looked worried, his eyes tracing the IV lines that snaked up my arm. I was so grateful to have him there, offering comfort in this overwhelming situation.

My heart ached with the enormity of the secret I was keeping from him. I wanted to share every moment of this joyous journey with Lomon, but fear gripped me tightly, holding my words captive. What if he wasn't ready for fatherhood? What if this news overwhelmed him instead of bringing him happiness?

I knew our lives were about to change in ways we couldn't even fathom, and the weight of responsibility felt heavy on my shoulders. But I also knew that Lomon loved me and would be there for me, no matter what. So why was it so hard to open up about our shared blessing?

As Lomon took a seat by my side, gently holding my hand, I felt a surge of love and gratitude. He was my rock, my constant support. But as I looked into his worried eyes, I couldn't ignore the fear that threatened to consume me.

"What's wrong Haejin?"

I squeezed his hand, summoning the courage to speak. "Lomon," I began, my voice wavering slightly, "there's something I need to tell you..."

His intense gaze locked with mine, urging me to continue. My heart raced, mirroring the rapid whirl of thoughts racing through my mind. But I couldn't keep him in the dark any longer. He deserved to know, even if it meant facing the unknown together.

Taking a deep breath, I finally said it, "Lomon, we're going to have a baby... I'm pregnant."

A mix of emotions flickered across his face - surprise, joy, and maybe even a touch of fear. But what struck me the most was the radiant smile that quickly replaced his initial shock. It was a smile that filled my heart with warmth and reassurance.

Lomon leaned in, pressing his lips against my forehead. "Haejin, that's incredible news! I've been dreaming of this moment, of starting a family with you. We're going to be parents, and I couldn't be happier."

Tears of relief and happiness welled up in my eyes as I realized that I had worried needlessly. Lomon's unwavering support and love shone through, reaffirming my decision to share this part of our journey together.

As we embraced, hope seeped into every fiber of my being. Yes, life was uncertain, and challenges lay ahead, but with Lomon by my side, I knew we could conquer anything. And together, we would embark on this incredible adventure of parenthood, nurturing our growing family with unconditional love and unwavering devotion.
