Episode 03

Ten minutes later, the nurse returned, her face calm but unreadable. Taehyung’s stomach twisted.
Nurse
Nurse
Well, Taehyung.. (she said, sitting across from him)
Nurse
Nurse
The tests confirm it. You’re pregnant. About six weeks along.
The words hit him like a wave. He nodded slowly, his lips parting but no sound coming out.
Pregnant..
Six weeks..
It was real..
Nurse
Nurse
You alright? (the nurse asked, leaning forward)
Nurse
Nurse
This can be a lot to take in.

Kim Taehyung
I… I’m okay.. (Taehyung lied, his voice cracking)
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
I just need to tell my boyfriend. He’ll… he’ll be happy, right?
Nurse
Nurse
(The nurse’s eyes softened)
Nurse
Nurse
I hope so, sweetheart. Do you have someone to talk to? Family, maybe?
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung’s smile was tight)
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Yeah. I’ll figure it out.
But as he left the room, the test results clutched in his hand, he knew he wouldn’t call his parents.
They’d never understood him, always favoring Eunji’s fake tears over his quiet honesty.
And Eunji… she’d probably twist this somehow, make it about her.
Outside, the sky had darkened, clouds heavy with the promise of rain.
Taehyung stood on the sidewalk, his breath visible in the cold.
He pulled out his phone again and dialed Minseok.
It rang twice before going to voicemail.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Hey, it’s me.. (Taehyung said, his voice trembling)
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
I need to talk to you. It’s important. Can you call me back? Please?
He hung up, his heart heavy. A single raindrop hit his cheek, then another.

He tilted his head back, letting the rain mix with the tears he hadn’t realized were falling.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
We will be fine.. (he whispered, his hand resting on his stomach)
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
I promise..
As he walked away, the rain soaking through his coat, Taehyung didn’t notice the sleek black car parked across the street.
Inside, a pair of sharp eyes watched him, a phone pressed to their ear.

???
He’s leaving the clinic now.. (a woman’s voice said, low and calculating)
???
???
Looks like he knows..
???
???
Good.. (came the reply, smooth and smug)
???
???
Stick to the plan, Eunji. He’ll break soon enough.
???
???
Sure~ 😏
