Pregnant By One Night-Stand
Episode 02
A nurse in pale green scrubs appeared at the door, her clipboard tucked under her arm. She had a no-nonsense vibe, but her smile was gentle.
He followed her down a narrow hallway, the fluorescent lights buzzing overhead.
The exam room was small, with a single chair and a counter lined with medical supplies. Taehyung sat, his hands clammy.
Nurse
So, you took a home test? (the nurse asked, pulling on gloves)
Kim Taehyung
Yeah.. (he said, his voice barely above a whisper)
Kim Taehyung
It said positive. I just… I need to know for sure.
Nurse
(She nodded, handing him a small cup)
Nurse
We’ll do a quick urine test, and I’ll draw some blood to confirm. It’ll take a few minutes for the results. You okay with that?
Kim Taehyung
(He nodded, his throat too tight to speak)
He followed her instructions, his movements mechanical. When he returned to the room, the nurse was already preparing the blood draw.
Nurse
You seem nervous.. (she said, tying a band around his arm)
He gave a small laugh, more out of nerves than humor.
Kim Taehyung
Is it that obvious?
Nurse
A little.. (She smiled, her needle steady as she worked)
Nurse
Don’t worry. We’ll take care of you.
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung stared at the floor, his mind racing)
He pictured Minseok’s face.. his sharp jaw, his warm smile when they first started dating.
They’d talked about a future together, hadn’t they?
A house, maybe a family someday. But now, with this… would Minseok be happy?
Nurse
All done.. (the nurse said, pressing a cotton ball to his arm)
Nurse
Results will be ready soon. Want some water while you wait?
Kim Taehyung
No, I’m okay.. (Taehyung said, his voice soft)
Kim Taehyung
Thank you.. (he smiles lightly)
Nurse
(She left him alone, and the silence was deafening)
He pulled out his phone, his thumb hovering over Minseok’s contact.
He wanted to call, to hear his voice, but something stopped him. Instead, he opened their last text thread.
Minseok’s messages were short, clipped.
Taehyung’s heart sank. He shoved the phone back in his pocket.
