♡When Love Impregnates Us♡
  • “And if you don't like me, as I do you; I understand. Because who would choose a daisy in a field of roses?”- (Julia Martinez)
  • “JIMIN, YOU’RE GOING TO DIVORCE HER?” Taehyung's fist clenched, as his voice rose suddenly. Jimin jolted up as though he got struck by lightning. “Jimin, why are you like this to her? Is it Areum? Is that why you are being such a *? What about your kids? Jimin, you have a brain, stop acting like you don’t,” fury vibrated through his being. Usually Taehyung wouldn't want to be involved, but this is going far.
  • Jimin went blank, his eyes staring at Taehyung; completely shocked, but Taehyung didn't care if he hurt Jimin's feelings or not. He wants Jimin to understand that what he is doing is ridiculous. Although he understands Jimin doesn't love you, he wishes Jimin would; he wants his friend to be happy with the right woman; not a woman that barely loves him and is using him. The first time Taehyung meant you, he was astonished; he was delighted that Jimin had found a woman who caught his attention, not just any woman but a wife. He was glad.
  • For a while, he was jealous of Jimin. The love you shower Jimin with made him jealous. After he meant you, he knew you were different; that day when you entered the bar. He liked how different you were; not only beauty wise but personality. He wanted his pal to see that, but no matter how hard he endeavors, Jimin didn’t see what he saw in you. Jimin saw a woman that took his happiness; someone who was merely his distraction.
  • “Taehyung, I don’t love her.”
  • “That’s a lie. You love her, but you tell yourself that because you are obsessed with Areum. She was your first love, and that’s why the feelings you felt with her were different. You are obsessed with the way she makes you feel, the idea of her. But the individual who you love is Yuna. Yuna makes you feel special. You used to praise her, shower her with love, and you said she was different.”
  • “I don’t love her,” Jimin's expression hardened as his smile slipped, turning into a hard line. Taehyung sighs and shakes his head, as he rubs his temple from the throbbing pain. He wasn't the talking type, but he couldn't sit down and watch any longer. “Okay, let’s say you don’t love Yuna, fine. What about the kids, huh? Don’t you think they are too young to go through such things?”
  • “I’ll still be in their life. It is not like I’m flying away.”
  • “Yes you are, you already have. You are fleeing away from them for another woman. A woman who cheated with so many men, a woman who lied to you, manipulated your love, then flew away without a text or goodbyes. And then she suddenly shows up and demands that you divorce your wife. Jimin, why can’t you see what everybody is seeing? She left you, she shattered your heart Jimin,” The veins in Taehyung skin were popping out.
  • “I know, but I love her. I still love her.” Taehyung snorted as his eyes rolled onto the back of his eyes. “Love? You are sick if that's what you call love. You cheat on your wife, hardly there for your kids, and you use the phrase, love. Jimin… you need help,” Taehyung puffed as he slammed the door on his way out of Jimin’s office. His soul will burn if he stays any more minute in the same room with Jimin.

  • “Mrs. Park, your son Jiun has been alarming me recently. He barely talks. He's usually sitting in a small corner crying. He doesn't play with the other kids. When I ask him why he was behaving like this, he says that…”
  • “That?” Your brows rose, a chill ran down her spine as she gazed at you, because the look in your eyes. She swallowed and spoke. “Mr. Park. He doesn't want to lose him… and then he breaks out crying. He's merely 7 years old and knows all of this. It's dreadful.”
  • You stand up from your chair and steer to the window. Tiny specks of dust seem to dance in the shaft of afternoon sunlight that slanted through the window. The children were running and playing. Ara sits with a group of friends laughing and gossiping to each other about the boys that sit on the other side of them.
  • A tiny chuckle escapes your mouth. Your almond eyes hunt for Jiun when you don't see him amongst the boys. It creases at the swing. He sat there analyzing everyone; he wasn't swinging, nor was he laughing or talking like the other kids. Jiun sat there peacefully observing everybody; as if the world around him had vanished for him. You eye as he fiddles with his hands in his laps.
  • “That's how he has been lately. He shies away from everybody and scarcely talks. At first, I believed it was because he needed space, but after he told me about Mr. Park and you… I couldn’t help but wonder what he might have seen for him to behave like this.” You sigh, your soul drowning in the river of your sadness as thought of the question which he had asked this morning. You look back at the teacher, wanting to say something but don't. After a moment, you spoke.
  • “Thank you, Mrs. Kang, I appreciate it,” you say. Her lips quivered into a smile as she nodded her head. Walking out of the classroom, you head outside to where Jiun and Ara are. Noticing you, Ara immediately jumps up from the midst of her friends and runs to you. Jiun did the same, but he walked instead, taking his own time.
  • “Mommy, where’s daddy? Isn’t he going to get us ice cream today?”
  • “Daddy is busy. He can’t make it.” An etched sadness clouds the little one's features at the mention of Jimin being busy; he was always busy whenever she wanted to have time with him. “Mommy, is daddy avoiding us?” You turn to Jiun and shake your head. “No baby, daddy will never do that, he’s just busy.” Jiun’s face set in resigned sad lines; just as he expected, you lie again. “I’m scared mommy,” he says.
  • You pick the boy up. “Baby, don’t worry, mommy is right here,” you say, tucking his hair behind his ears. “Want to get ice cream with mommy?” you whisper with a sudden flare of joy. He nods his head as he positions a kiss on your forehead. Joy rushed through you. Happiness crept over Jiun’s features when also returned his kiss. ☆
