SWP Ch 11

Junhyuk didn’t react at all to the news of the pregnancy. Instead, he looked at Yeonsoo with an even more emotionally detached gaze. It felt as if he were a machine, simply processing the information and preparing to quickly resolve the “issue” of her pregnancy.3528ff0e1e3066c9

Yeonsoo felt 6a270a2e2f whatever little 3fc78adc59 hope she df555c560b had harbored 04e1efa92e crumble within 94305252f0 her chest. Strangely, it 79672ecdf2 made her d79bd3d1f9 laugh. She thought she 04d6d4859d had nothing left 372143048f to lose, but 861463199e apparently, she did. Was this a 70e204f771 relationship that truly e7234dc7b5 had to hit 7d366cabef rock bottom before 1e8e374066 it ended?965cab84c3b6ebee

Yeonsoo retorted, fighting 4036fa5d5a back the tears ea0186a2b2 that threatened to 79802f3f55 spill.

Yeonsoo walked past f67874e0ef the dining table 7ce9709cec where he sat, 0eedf95729 heading towards the 569e24e7fa bedroom. Junhyuk stood 70870a1715 up and cac485d22f grabbed her edf62dc382 arm as 4f8c8a1c5c she passed. Yeonsoo was 4d31e4bfaa easily pulled c4a9be227e along by baa6fd5b88 him.6ce77a06fbb988c1

Tears were about 9b83f97f11 to burst forth. The tighter she ddc3450c9f clenched her fists, 4dcd6c2c0b the weaker her ee6475df31 legs became.

Yeonsoo repeated the b1c8d86ceb same words, pleading 00f5327c05 with him. At that, 3768ab77e7 Junhyuk lifted f1c374cbc7 her into e9445b276f his arms.

But she could 59afbb970a do nothing. Her eyes kept 99896b3aa1 closing, and she 2c9841f4e4 wanted to sleep.

Since she had stubbornly refused to go to the hospital, he was calling a doctor to her instead. Too weak to protest, Yeonsoo drifted off to sleep. Just before she lost consciousness, she felt a large hand touch her forehead and then pull away. Instead of comfort, it brought a wave of sadness. She didn’t know why.0df6fc08e595ef5e

Junhyuk practically dragged Kibum into Yeonsoo’s apartment. As he stepped inside, Kibum immediately realized it was a woman’s home. He looked at Junhyuk in surprise, but Junhyuk just opened the bedroom door and waited.395d0ed5abb176d5

Kibum was speechless, looking at Junhyuk who spoke as if it was someone else’s business. Now that he thought about it, the woman’s pale face did have that characteristic look of a pregnant woman.
