E17
In the ward, Eunro sat quietly with his head down, not saying a word. His left arm was wrapped in thick bandages. His usually rosy cheeks were devoid of color.
The moment I saw him, my heart sank again. I rushed to his side and gently grasped his wrist.
Park Jungkook ( MC )
"What made you want to hurt yourself like this?"
That was when I noticed Yuna standing nearby.
This was the woman who tried to destroy my family and stir up trouble between Eunro and me. I could hardly contain my anger as I shot at her
Park Jungkook ( MC )
"Is this how you care for him when you take him away?"
Park Eunro
"Don't shout at Ms. Yuna like that! I hurt myself because of you! It's because you won't divorce Daddy!"
I stared at him in shock.
Park Eunro
"Mommy, I know it'll hurt you if I hurt myself. But the more you hurt, the more I want to injure myself."
His little mouth opened and closed, seemingly unaware of the cruelty in his words.
Park Eunro
"Unless you agree to divorce Daddy."
His words hit me like a hammer, leaving me dazed. I felt like the world was spinning around me. My heart ached so much that breathing became difficult. I gasped for air. How could he take advantage of my love for him to hurt me like this?
Before I could even ask for an explanation, everything went dark, and I collapsed to the ground.
Park Bogum ( MC ex- husband)
"Honey!"
In my blurry state, I heard Bogum's panicked voice.
Park Bogum ( MC ex- husband)
"Doctor!"
When I woke up, it was already the next morning.
Bogum sat beside my bed with a beaming smile
Park Bogum ( MC ex- husband)
"Honey, I have good news."
Everything that had happened recently felt like a series of blows, leaving me dizzy. I could hardly think of any good news right now, so I responded half-heartedly
Park Jungkook ( MC )
" What is it ?"
Park Bogum ( MC ex- husband)
"You're pregnant!"
I stared at Bogum in disbelief.
He quickly handed me the test results. He was clearly looking forward to the arrival of this new life.
Park Bogum ( MC ex- husband)
"You suddenly fainted last night. I was so scared. The doctor ran some tests and found out you're pregnant."
Park Bogum ( MC ex- husband)
"But with all the stress you've been under lately, your emotions have been unstable, and the baby is at risk. You'll need to stay in the hospital for a while to stabilize the pregnancy."
I took the paper from him. The moment I saw the image of the tiny, unformed life, I couldn't look away. The sight of it brought a small sense of comfort to my shattered heart. Gently, I placed a hand over my abdomen, my mind swirling with thoughts.
Growing up in a single-parent household after my father passed away, I didn't want my child to go through the same.
Park Jungkook ( MC )
" Bogum "
Park Bogum ( MC ex- husband)
" Yes ? "
Park Jungkook ( MC )
"I'm willing to move past everything that's happened. For the sake of this child, let's try to be the way we were before. Can we do that?"
Park Bogum ( MC ex- husband)
" Yes."
Park Bogum ( MC ex- husband)
"Honey."
He then took out a small velvet box.
His expression was slightly nervous as he opened it to reveal a pair of lily-shaped earrings.
I was surprised. He rarely gave me gifts since we got married.
Park Jungkook ( MC )
"What's this?"
Park Bogum ( MC ex- husband)
"It's a present for you,"
Park Jungkook ( MC )
"Thank you."
Despite everything that had happened over the past few days, the little life growing inside me gave me a glimmer of happiness.
Just then, Bogum's phone rang, and he said he had to leave for work. After a quick kiss, he left the room.
I gently touched my stomach, feeling a sense of tenderness.
At this moment, my phone pinged with a notification. I opened it absentmindedly. It was a message from Eunro-an image of Yuna's Instagram post.
I tapped on it and saw the caption read
"Thank you, Mr. Park, for the diamond ring this morning. By the way, the jewelry store has terrible taste. They threw in these ugly lily-shaped earrings as a freebie. They looked so cheap, so I told Mr. Park to toss them."
The photo was a selfie of Yuna. What caught the eye most was her hand resting against her cheek, with a massive diamond ring on her ring finger.
The expensive gemstone had a flawless cut, and even in the picture, the diamond sparkled brilliantly.
Upon seeing that, I gripped my phone tightly. The spot where Bogum had kissed me felt like it was burning. I suddenly felt sick.
While I was unconscious, my husband wasn't worried about me. Instead, he was buying an expensive ring for Yuna.
And when I woke up, he tried to placate me with the cheap freebies she had discarded.
Did he think so little of me?
Did he really believe that I was so easy to appease and that I would be grateful for her leftovers and forgive him?
A wave of despair crashed over me, threatening to drown me.
Why? Why did he keep hurting me like this and then use empty words to pull me back every time?
Biting my lip, I felt the room spin around me.
Just then, my phone rang, snapping me out of my thoughts.
Park Jungkook ( MC )
"Hello?"
Park Eunro
"I miss you, Mommy. Can you come see me?"
Eunro's voice sounded sad.

Again, I can understand you but my dear you should understand that sometimes no matter how much you sacrifice, how much you bleed yourself, no one would care. They would only take advantage of you.
