I woke up early today to make breakfast for Taehyung. If I don't make anything for him, he doesn't eat in the morning and that's not healthy. Besides, I'm always happy to cook for him.
I made pancakes for him. As I was putting them on a plate for him, I felt two arms wrap around me. His chin resting on my shoulder. "You know baby, you don't have to wake up so early just to make food for me."
I fed him a piece of pancake and then turned around in his embrace. Hearing him munch on it was so cute that I couldn't resist. I pecked his pouty lips. "I do because I love you." My arms locked around his waist and my head resting against his chest.
He continued to eat over my shoulder like the cutie he is. I puckered up my lips wanting to kiss him. He stared down at me mischievously still not kissing me. He put another piece in his mouth. Smiling like the little devil he is. Still no kiss. I was determined to get a kiss so I patiently waited with puckered lips. Taehyung likes to play so he'll make me wait without any mercy.
My pucker turned into a pout. I slowly lowered my face. Having to give up because Kim Taehyung is hard to get. He suddenly cupped my face and smashed his lips on mine. One hand moved to the back of my head and the other to the small of my back. Gradually making its way even more down until he had a nice grasp on my ass. "Girls, who wait get what they want."
I rolled my eyes at his cockiness. The only thing larger than Taehyung's penis is his ego. His sexy ego. "Too bad that some girls are impatient." I smirked and bit my lower lip.
I wanted him to kiss me again, but that's only going to happen if I straight up beg him. Eh, I'll give him this victory. I want that kiss. "Taehyungie, kiss me, please."
He gave me a cute smile and kissed me. He wanted to pull away, but I didn't let him. My arms locked around his neck. I jumped on him, forcing him to carry me. He sat me on the kitchen counter and pulled away. "Slow down, crazy. What's with you?" He pecked my lips gently.
"I want kisses." I whined against his lips. I didn't get why I was being so needy for him. It wasn't anything sexual. I just wanted to kiss him and cuddle with him all day.
He kissed me a couple more times and then whispered, "I really have to go to work." I pouted and before I realized a single tear slipped from the corner of my eye. "Baby, what's wrong? Why are you being so emotional?" I shrugged my shoulders and hugged him tightly. Softly sniffling in the crook of his neck. His arms holding me tightly against him.
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
After Taehyung left, I got ready. Even though, separating from him was difficult. He told me he had to leave. No other way around it. Anyway, I have different plans myself so I'll be fine.
As I got ready, I felt a little nervous. I packed everything and headed out the door. I stopped at Chaewon unnies door and rang the doorbell. "Hi, Bora!" She exclaimed and hugged me tightly. "It's been so long. How have you been?"
She's right, since I found out about what Sejun did, I distanced myself from them. It wasn't intentional or anything. It just happened that way. "I'm fine. How are you?" I asked after breaking the hug.
Chaewon unnie, herself had a hard time as well. Coping with the fact that her son caused so much chaos. I feel for her. She didn't want any of this to happen either.
"I'm doing fine." Tears filled her eyes as she cupped my face with one hand. "You're doing better, right?" I hugged her again letting her know that I'm fine.
"Do you want to come in?" She asked me friendly while gently pulling on my arm.
I pulled back a little and said, "Actually, I'm here for Sejun. I want to go somewhere with him. If that's alright with you."
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
We walked into the cemetery. He held my hand tightly. He knows what we're going to do so I thought he might find it scary or maybe he's nervous. I know I am.
"Here it is."
There we both stood in front of his grave. His name written in Italic '𝓛𝓮𝓮 𝓜𝓲𝓷𝓱𝓸'. I wonder if he could see us standing here. I bet he would laugh at us. Thinking about how we ruined his life, that we came to visit him and can just walk away, go back to our lives while he has to lay here. He must think that we're awful people.
I took a deep breath and put the flowers I brought on his grave. "Hi." I greeted him with a shaky voice.
"Oh, hello sir." Sejun followed and bowed. He suddenly sat down next to the grave. "Sir, I'm so sorry for what I did." Tears rolling down his cheeks in a straight line. Sejun might haven't gotten any punishment through court for what he did, but he sure as hell got the biggest punishment out of all of us.
Every action has a consequence, good or bad.
Sejun has the death of his teacher on his conscious. "I wish you were here so you could scold me for my bad behavior. Do you think you'll ever be able to forgive me? Even if you did you wouldn't be able to tell me because you're not here anymore. And it's all my fault." He started sobbing. I walked over to him. Held him tightly in my arms. "I never thought this would happen. I swear. He's gone. It's like I took his life."
His words made their way through my mind and soul. "All we can do now is apologize and let him Rest in Peace." It sounds lame and effortless. The thing is that... we can't do anything else than that. I already vowed to myself and Taehyung that we have to take care of his family. His parents and brother. It's the least we can do. Together with Chaewon unnie and Sejun of course.
"You know I hope that you learned from this. That you won't engage in anything like this ever again. Be a good person and work hard. I'm sure if you keep yourself to these conditions that he'll forgive you."
We stayed for a little bit longer, talked to him about different things. Sejun told him that he made all the assignments that he didn't make when he had to. Even though, he isn't in that school anymore.
The reason I thought that I came here was because I felt guilty, but now that I'm here with Sejun I realized that wasn't the case. I wanted to hear and see him apologize for what he did. I felt somewhat responsible that I ignored the signs. But now I feel a lot better about myself. I got closure.
He didn't deserve to die, yet he did. He was just as much of a victim as me. A victim to a 13-year-olds game. The one that's sitting in front of me, promising his teacher that he's going to better his life. That he's going to make his own assignments and earn his grades by working for them and not by playing games on his teachers.

After dropping Sejun off at home, I went to lunch with the girls. Apparently, Jaein has news.
We walked into the restaurant. As we sat down Jaein had the biggest smile on her face. We ordered our food. While waiting Jaein shoved her hand in our faces to show the ring she had on her finger.
It's been close to two weeks that she and Jimin made it official. He already gave her a ring. I'm happy and surprised since it took him so long to make her his girlfriend.
"You got an engagement ring?" Aera said while her jaw dropped.
"No, it's a promise ring." She said smiling from ear to ear. I'm not a ring expert, but that is a big diamond for a promise ring. "It's a promise that I'm going to find a job. I bought it myself."
I cracked up. This girl is something else. She bought herself a ring. "How did you even pay for that?"
"I emptied my bank account. I wanted a ring. Jimin didn't want to give me one, with his 'you don't need a ring to let people know who you belong to'." She mimicked his voice. "So, I bought one for myself. Besides, all I need is to find a job."
She is straight up crazy. "You haven't had much success in finding a job and weren't you going to become a stripper."
"A stripper?" Aera looked confused and shocked.
"Yeah, Jimin shot that down real fast. I'm only allowed to strip for him. His words, not mine." She said while laughing. "Anyway, the reason why I asked you guys to come here is... you two are going to help me find a job."
I'm not good at looking for a job nor at working for that matter. I haven't worked since I got married so I'm not sure whether I'll be a big help.
"I can maybe do a good word for you at my work place. See if they need anyone." Aera said smiling.
"You're a life saver."

As we were talking and laughing, I slowly started to feel uncomfortable. I had a mild pain in my lower abdomen. The feeling was really strange. It felt different than period pain. Maybe, it is period pain and I'm just making it bigger in my head. I don't even remember when my last period was. I don't keep track of it because I always forget. So, when it's here, it's here. When it's not, it's not.
"Hey, Bora are you alright?" Both girls gave me a concerned look.
I nodded and said, "Yes, I just think my period is going to start so it's being a bitch right now."
"Omg." Aera's eyes widened as she covered her mouth with her hand. "Cruella is here."
"Cruella? Wait, who's Cruella again?" They have so many nicknames for so many people. They even have nicknames for the boys. Jimin is Mochi because he's so cute. I have to agree with that one. Jungkook is Bunny because of his adorable bunny smile. They even gave Taehyung a nickname, Gucci boy. I know he wears a lot of Gucci, but I prefer calling him Honey bear. It's cute and he's sweet like honey.
I was lost in my own thoughts. You know thinking about Taehyung takes up a lot of my time. I mean you can't blame me for loving my husband and wanting to think about him. The thought of him alone makes me smile and I feel butterflies in my stomach. That is now being mixed with stupid period pain.
"Earth to Bora." Jaein waved her hand in front of my face until I snapped out of my thoughts. I looked her straight in the eyes. "Listen, when she comes over don't be too friendly, okay."
I have legit no idea who they're talking about nor do I actually care. I understood from her command that she's a girl. That's all I got.
"Hello, girls." I turned around to see who it was. Oh, yeah! Now, I remember. Cruella. How could I forget this? I smiled and was about to say something, but Jaein beat me to it.
"Hi, So-Yi" Jaein said her name so dramatically with a pause in the middle. I mentally slapped myself for not being able to stop my friends from acting crazy.
"Hello, Soyi. How are you?" I decided to just stay friendly and hope that Aera isn't going to act the same way as Jaein.
She smiled right back at me, she looked happy. "I'm fine. Just having a lunch date with my fiancé."
"Is it still the same guy you went out with before or is this a new one." Aera commented stuffing her mouth full with food.
I turned around and gave her a 'what the fuck' look. She shrugged her shoulders not giving a shit. I heard Jaein chuckling in the background.
These bitches don't even understand what they're doing. I called a truce with Soyi. Which means we're going to leave each other alone. If she feels insulted, she might go back to trying to break me and Taehyung up. She won't succeed because our relationship is very strong. Still, I don't want to deal with a psycho bitch who wants to take my husband away from me just for the fun of it.
"Don't listen to them, please. They're just assholes. Congratulations Soyi." I stood up and gave her a friendly hug.
She left shortly after that. I sat back down and looked at them both with a disappointed look. They didn't give one shit.
"Because of you we didn't get an answer. How are we now supposed to know who she manipulated into asking her to marry them." I face palmed myself at the fact that they're still hung up on that.

I was sitting in the car in front of our apartment complex. The pain in my lower abdomen was starting to get more and more intense. I thought if I just stayed in the car and waited for a while it might go away. Mainly because I didn't want to get up and have a breakdown in front of the complex.
My body started to shake slightly. It's like I'm having an orgasm with this immense pain. "Aahhh, this is so painful." I really don't think this is normal. I always have had period pains. Never like this though.
Liquid gently flowed out of me. "Great, now I'm going to have blood on my car seat." I lifted my skirt to look at the expected bloody mess. "Huh, no blood." This is weird.
Instead of blood there was this white milky substance in my panty. I don't think this is supposed to come out of me. Taehyung and I haven't had sex in close to three days so it isn't his sperm. Usually, when we do it, the next day the sperm that hasn't come out, oozes out of me. But that's a lot thicker and slimier. This is not that.
A shooting pain went through my abdomen slowly making its way to my lower back. I grasped the steering wheel tightly in my hand. I squeezed my eyes shut. Praying that it would just end right here and now. Either the pain has to stop or my life needs to end.
I was so immersed in the pain that I didn't notice a figure standing next to my car until the person knocked on my window. I opened my eyes to see who it was.
This sweet genuine smile with worried eyes looked at me. I lowered my window. "Bora, are you okay?" I shook my head as tears streamed down my face.
He opened the door and pulled me out of the car. I hugged him tightly while crying from pain on his shoulder. He is so sweet. He could easily be my grandfather. So nice and thoughtful. He always asks me how I am. He smiles and waves every time he sees me. Unlike his bitchy wife who thinks I should be locked into a patted cell for wanting to kiss my husband in the elevator.
"What are you doing here, Mr. Kang" I asked him while wiping away my tears.
"I'm hiding from my wife." He joked making me laugh. "Why are you crying? Did you have a fight with Taehyung? Do you want me to go and kick his ass?" He really loves Taehyung. He would never hurt him. He sometimes comes to our place to just have a drink with Taehyung and escape from his lunatic wife.
"No, I have this pain in my tummy." I exclaimed with a deep breath. He guided me to the passenger seat of my car and sat me down. He then proceeded to get in the driver's seat. He started the engine of the car and we drove away from home. "Where are we going?"
"The hospital."
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
During the car ride the pain became heavier and harder to withstand. That's why I was so thankful that we had arrived at the hospital.
I walked to the emergency room while holding Mr. Kang's hand tightly. Probably hurting the poor man in the process. The pain became stronger and was shooting from both sides now. My lower abdomen tightened which made the pain strikes ten times more unbearable.
Luckily, we had already walked through the entrance because it felt like all hell went loose. I fell to my knees screaming and crying from pain. My body felt weak under the immense power of pain. I threw myself completely on the ground screaming at the top of my lungs. My eyes squeezed shut, trying to listen to what was going on around me.
"Miss, can you hear me? We're going to get you help, okay? Don't worry everything will be fine."
⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆★⋆
I woke up in a hospital bed with a needle in my arm and a doctor taking notes on a clipboard. It took me a minute to realize I didn't have any pain anymore.
"Hello, Mrs. Kim. How are you feeling?"
"Better."
Mr. Kang suddenly appeared next to me. He bent down and gave me a kiss on my forehead. Grandpa style. He looked really happy.
I looked at him confused then at the doctor. She smiled and started, "Well, the reason for your sudden pain was caused by gas that couldn't get out."
Gas? This was all caused because I had to fart? How can a fart do this? "What?"
"It's actually very common with pregnant women. It usually happens when the fetus is bigger and prevents certain organs from going their natural way. But in this case, we're thinking more of something you have eaten that caused your body to react differently to it. During pregnancy you're going through a whole lot of emotional and hormonal changes and your body might react different than it did before. In conclusion, there is nothing to worry about. You and the baby are both fine. We can even send you home."
She said so many things, half of it I didn't understand. All I got was 'common for pregnant women, fetus, body different, pregnancy, hormones, baby' Wait! What?!
"Did you say baby?"
