"Eun Jae..." Soo Young hugs me.
"Welcome oppa. Get in."
My smiles widen more when the other SHINee members get in. "Oppadeul!" I give each of them a hug.
"Eun Jae-ssi."
I introduce them to my mother. We are starting to have a nice talk when an unexpected person came in.
"Hyung! You made—" Jonghun's words are cut when Ha Eun appears behind Jinki's back.
The atmosphere suddenly becomes awkward.
"Good afternoon imo." Jinki greets politely.
"You're here again. I thought you are still in Japan."
Everyone frowns.
"Eomma, you must be mistaken. Ahh... He is SHINee's leader eomma."
Cheri frowns. "Aniyo. I must not be mistaken. He really came here yesterday at dawn."
"Eomma..."
"You came here oppa?" Ha Eun asks Jinki.
He looks at Cheri. "I did."
"See? He really came here." Cheri beams a smile.
I look at Jinki. I see him sighing. He must be agreeing because he pities eomma.
The bubbly moment becomes awkward. I try hard not to look at Jinki and Ha Eun. I stick beside Soo Young. Good thing the other SHINee members try to save the situation. At least, mother is not noticing the awkwardness between us.
"Eun Jae-ssi... Your tummy is already big." Ha Eun approaches me.
"Ah, ne. Ne. I am almost 6 months pregnant."
"Jinjja?" She sits beside me. "I want to be pregnant too."
I am caught off guard. I smile as I nod.
"Can I talk with you privately?" She said after some time.
I look at the boys who seems enjoying while talking to each other. Soo Young and Jinki are glaring to one another. "Kurae." I ask permission to my mother.
"Oppadeul, Eun Jae and I will go out to buy something."
"Eun Jae?" Soo Young looks at me worriedly.
"I'll just accompany unnie. Please continue in what you are doing guys." I said the last phrase when I see the five's worried faces.
"Don't worry, we will be back soon." Ha Eun walks towards Jinki and kisses him on his cheeks. Everyone looks surprise. I look at my mom, good thing she is asleep.

"Eun Jae..."
"Ye?" I stop from walking and look at Ha Eun.
She sits on the bench just outside the hospital. I sit beside her.
"You think Onew oppa visited your mom yesterday dawn?"
I try to show her a half smile. "Aniyo." I said in a low voice.
"Good. I don't want you to hope Eun Jae. Oppa was with me yesterday dawn."
My heart feels like someone is crumpling it. "Ahhh..." I bite my lower lip to stop my tears.
"I know that it is not easy to move on. I already know that you and Onew oppa had an affair. He told me."
"A—Affair?"
"Ye. That was the term he used."
I blink my eyes a couple of times. "I see."
"I'm glad you finally settle with Soo Young oppa. Like what I said before, he is a good catch though."
"Ne... I am glad that I found him too." The pain inside me grows deeper and deeper.
"Eun Jae..."
"Ye?"
"You will not ruin my and Onew oppa's relationship right? I like him so much. I want him to be the father of my future children."
"Why do you think that I will ruin your relationship?"
She shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know. Maybe because your eomma is thinking that you are still together?"
"Ahh... That? Don't worry, I will correct my mom with that. I'll tell her that it was just an affair."
"Thanks then." She smiles. "I'll get in now. How about you?"
I stand. "Ahh, I forgot my milk for pregnancy. I think you should go ahead. I still have to buy it."
"Kurae? You don't want me to accompany you?"
I shake my head a little. "I'm fine. The convenience store is just near. You go ahead." I show him a goofy smile.
"Arasseo. Bye."
When I could not see her, I start walking towards nowhere while I allow myself to cry. I feel so upset. He was thinking that we only had an affair? But why? My tears start to fall heavier.

Jinki's P.O.V.
They all turn their heads when the door opens.
"Where is Eun Jae?" Soo Young automatically asks while frowning.
"Ahh, she said she needs to buy her milk in the convenience store."
"Milk?" Kibeom, Jonghyun, Minho and Taemin repeat it in chorus.
Soo Young walks towards Ha Eun. He holds her arm tightly and looks at Jinki. "I just need to talk to her. Don't worry." He pulls her away from the room while she keeps on resisting in an attempt to release herself.
Jinki sits on the couch with an unreadable face.
"Hyung... Why don't you look for Eun Jae-ssi?" Jonghyun approaches him.
"Me? Why me?"
"Because her mother thinks you are her boyfriend? Did you really come here?"
He looks away. "I was just trying to agree with her."
"Aishh... Ya... Hyung, go find Eun Jae." Kibeom pulls his hands and pushes him towards the door. "Don't come back until you bring Eun Jae here." Kibeom said it before closing the door.
Jinki starts walking towards outside the hospital premises.
💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Eun Jae's P.O.V.
I just walk and walk when I come across the convenience store. I wipe my tears and get inside. I stare at the goods. Actually, I am not supposedly to buy a milk coz' I still have a stock of it, but I don't have an alibi.
I decide to buy other stuffs. I come accross the stand for alcoholic drinks. I pick one brand when a hand stops me.
"What are you thinking? Are you going to drink alcoholic drinks?"
I look at Jinki with surprised eyes. "Wh—What are you doing here?"
"They want me to look after you."
"Ahh... I will be there in few minutes. You can go back now." I turn my back on him. I try to concentrate on what to buy. I suddenly sneez because of the cold atmosphere.
Jinki pulls my hand and draws me towards the cashier. He is holding a bottle of juice and a medicine.
"Gomapsumnida." He said to the cashier.
When we are already outside, he hands me what he bought.
"Drink this instead."
I get the plastic bag from him. "Gomawo."
I take the med while we start walking again. He walks behind me.
My mind keeps on wandering. I bite my tongue when I remember Ha Eun telling me that Jinki is thinking that what we had was just an affair.
"Yaa..."
Jinki stops me when I almost bump myself on a post.
"Sorry." I try not to look at him while saying it.
"Watch your steps."
I only nod and then starts walking back again. I can feel something is placed on my shoulders.
"You look so cold basing on the way how you blow your hands." He answers my questioning look.
"Ahh. Arasseo, gomawo."
We walk silently towards the room. When we get inside, I look confused when I couldn't find Ha Eun and Soo Young.
"Where are they oppa?" I ask Jonghyun.
"Ahh, they are talking."
"Jinjja?" I stop when I can feel a sudden kick from the baby inside. "Omo, he's awake. He is kicking." I smile widely as I take a seat.
The four excitedly run towards me. They are arguing who should listen first.
"Eun Jae, I bet he keeps on moving like his appa." Kibeom comments it.
He is pushed away by Taemin. "Let me feel it hyung." Taemin giggles afterwards. "Neomo kyeopta. It makes me think of having a baby too."
"Pfft, Taemin, seriously?" Minho asks with disbelief.
When the four finish their turns, they look at Jinki.
"Hyung?"
"Huh?"
"You don't want to feel your baby?"
"Huh?"
This time around, Cheri is already awaken. "You guys look so excited."
"Ye imo. We are excited because the baby is awake. He is kicking inside Eun Jae." Minho explains.
"Jinjja? Baby Jinki is awake?"
I blush. "Eomma!" I cannot look at them.
"Aigoo... Ya, hyung, come on. I am sure baby Jinki will be excited to feel you. He must be happy to be named after you." Kibeom hits Jinki through his shoulder.
I stiffen when I see Jinki walking towards me. He kneels on the floor and slowly moves his head on my tummy. I can feel that baby Jinki is getting hyper.
Jinki listens carefully. "Baby Jinki?" He asks. Just like a kid given a candy, baby Jinki kicks a bit harder this time when he hears his father's voice. We both look surprised.
I quickly put a space between us when I see Ha Eun getting inside.
"Oppa, let's go now." She pulls Jinki's arm. We all start to get quiet.
Jinki frowns at Ha Eun. "Let's wait for them."
"Gwenchana. You bring her to home first. She must be tired." I force myself to say it since I notice that Ha Eun is not in the mood. She must be upset when she sees Jinki listening and touching my tummy.
"Good night everyone. Good night Eun Jae." Ha Eun hugs me. "By the way, we are officially dating now. I forgot to tell you." She whispers it to my ears as she hugs me.
I show her a forced smile. "Bye. Take care."
"Thanks."
I stare blankly to the people left inside except to my mother. "Ahmm, eomma, what do you want to eat?" I try to divert everyone's attention.
I can sense that they want to ask me something.
💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
"Goodbye Eun Jae-ssi." The four, as well as Soo Young said. "Goodbye too imo."
"Goodbye too dears. Take care in going home, arasseo?" Cheri gives them a warm smile.
"We will imo. We really had a great day today although we are so noisy." Jonghyun is the last one to give my mother a hug.
"Aigoo... Gwenchana, at least my daughter here is laughing."
"I am always laughing eomma." I butt in.
"You do. When you are talking to me, but when not, you are quiet."
I pout. "Arasseo."
"Will Jinki come back?" Cheri asks the four which make us all taken aback. "Looks like his sister is a clingy one." She adds which make the four laughs.
"Yes she is imo." Kibeom answers my mother's query. "We will just tell him to come if he'll be in the dorm imo."
"Arasseo. Take care once again."
"Thank you oppadeul." I give them a hug. "Till next time. I really enjoy it."
"Glad to hear that... Although... You know." Soo Young whispers.
"Aishh. No worries. I'm okay."
"Arasseo. We will be going then."
"Ne. Ne."
