Chapter 255 – Pregnancy (3)
Origin.
It felt like the four of us had turned around and returned to the starting point.
After Jian’s declaration of shock, we were silent for a while. There is only Ji An’s pregnancy test lying on the table. We just stared blankly at it.
I thought we were going back to our seats…
I would hold Seung-yeon’s hand and raise Seung-woo, and Jian and Cha Jin-woo would return home with Su-ah.
We were determined to endure each other’s desires and desires and to devote ourselves to our child. Of course I didn’t want to. It was a place I didn’t want to go back to the point of death, but I decided to live for the sake of my child…
You’re pregnant
The two lines clearly drawn on Jian’s name felt like a red line drawn over my name.
“Jin-woo… You must be a child, right?”
In the end, my beloved wife spoke with difficulty. Who is Jinwoo that her wife is talking about?
Her wife’s eyes were on Cha Jin-woo.
“…”
Cha Jin-woo, Jian, and of course I couldn’t say the same. That’s also the case because Jian has been sleeping with me in my room ever since he came to this house.
His relationship with Cha Jin-woo can be counted on one hand. The odds were too small for Jian to conceive with only those few ejaculations.
“After…”
Cha Jin-woo tousled his thick hair. Ji-an’s pregnancy. It’s not already the first child, Su-ah… He, too, seemed quite shocked by the sudden pregnancy news.
In the end, Cha Jin-woo, who was worried, opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Jiang. Let’s do a paternity test…”
“What…?”
“I need to find out who the child is in the belly. He can’t live without knowing who he is.”
“What if… If not Mr.
“…”
“Then are you going to throw it away?”
“What do you say? We just want to check the current situation accurately.”
The voices of Cha Jin-woo and Jian gradually rose. Their fight pattern has always been like this. The conversation was normal at first, but as soon as one point came out, the voice grew louder and louder.
In the end, the story they were originally going to tell disappears, leaving only deep feelings for each other.
“No. Because I don’t want to check. Let’s just… Erase it.”
“Are you… Crazy? If it’s my child What would I do if it were my child?”
“Ha…”
Cha Jin-woo seemed not to want to miss the possibility that the child in Jian’s belly was his. If you delete the child and it is Cha Jin-woo’s seed, the two of them will lose their real child that they have wanted for so long.
How many couples in the world are willing to gamble like that?
“I think so too. Because we all decided to go back to our respective seats. I think it would be better to clean up here and go.”
I also spoke cautiously.
“I also agree with Jin-woo… We already know too much to just ask and move on.”
“Ha…”
As Seungyeon added her opinion, Jian finally lowered her head.
She seldom cries. Hot tears welled up in her big eyes.
“Huh…”
I patted her on her. With her sincerity. My hand, not Cha Jin-woo, comforted her crying by touching her soft back.
“I’m sorry… All of a sudden.”
“No. She should cry when she can.”
“That’s right. We all understand Jian’s feelings.”
Jian stared alternately into Seungyeon’s eyes and me as if she was grateful. Because the only ones who can understand them are me and Seungyeon. Only the fallen people had to remain by the fallen couple.
***
We had to return to the hospital again.
The paternity test that played a big role in the distance between me and my wife. It was the hospital that revealed that Seung-woo was not my child.
“Are you pregnant again?”
The old gentleman raised her spectacles and asked in disbelief. The doctor already knew that Seung-yeon and I’s child was not ours, and that Jian and Cha Jin-woo’s child was not theirs either.
He stared at each of the four of us standing awkwardly. From the look on our face, we could guess what the doctor was thinking in his heart.
“So… Who is going to check this time?”
Jian and Cha Jin-woo.
The two raised their hands like sinners. A strange sense of relief flows across the doctor’s face. An expression of relief that it wasn’t me and Jian, or Cha Jin-woo and Seung-yeon.
“Then… Follow me. I did a basic test last time, so this time the test results should come out soon.”
Cha Jin-woo and Jian followed the doctor into the room. Seeing Jian’s expression staring into my eyes for a moment made her want to hold her hand.
The same goes for her wife.
Seungyeon and I in the waiting room. There were only two left.
“Did you say goodbye to Jinwoo?”
“Uh…? Yes. Then. There’s not much to say goodbye. I just said thank you.”
My wife is taken aback by my sudden question. How could it be so awkward being alone in just a few months? We are still a married couple though.
“Did you say hello to Jian?”
“Me too… I suddenly got pregnant, so I was surprised.”
I was just as evasive as she was. Silence for another while.
“We… Will be able to raise children well, right?”
Her wife spoke carefully. As she stroked her still-pregnant belly.
“Then… I’ve raised Seung-woo, so the second one will be much easier.”
“I want Seung-woo to give us as much love as the second one…”
Also. That’s the story again.
When did I stop giving love to Seungwoo? Even if he didn’t resemble me at all, I put aside my doubts and decided to accept the child. Even if I found out through a paternity test that he wasn’t my child, I could confidently say that my attitude toward Seung-woo hadn’t changed at all.
How hard you try to erase the irritation that keeps creeping up on your face.
My wife is asking too much of me.
“That’s already been said… You think that I don’t care about Seung-woo. Other people really think I’m the daddy!”
My voice rose without my knowledge. Whenever I hear the story of Seung-woo, I feel like my hormones are secreted to the extent that I can’t control it. A mix of subtle emotions such as anger, regret, and annoyance erupted.
“Sorry… I didn’t mean to be angry. I was too hasty.”
These days we are always like this.
It’s a situation where I get angry first, say something unilaterally and apologize. The wife looks at her bottom and hangs her head like a guilty person.
Fuck…
Before the fall, we had never made a loud noise or fought. These days, when talking about children, it always ended in a fight.
We finally chose silence.
During the time when Jian and Jinwoo finished the long paternity test, we didn’t say a word to each other. I was just brooding over the assumptions and questions that plagued my head, worrying about things that never happened.
Knock…!
Quiet waiting room atmosphere.
Jian, Cha Jin-woo, and a doctor with a chart in their hands appeared after them.
Cha Jin-woo and Jian still had a slightly more relaxed expression than before.
“You both worked hard to check. Well, the result… I can print it out and give it to you, or I can tell you right here. What would you like to do, go home and see?”
“Here… I’ll listen.”
It was Jian.
Cha Jin-woo also reluctantly nodded.
“Then, let’s go to my room.”
The old doctor was conscious of me and Seungyeon. Because in the eyes of the doctor, we were clearly strangers.
“No. Are you okay. It’s okay if you just say it here. The four of us are all friends… Just like that.”
“Ah… Is that so?”
A bitter smile appeared on the old doctor’s lips.
Is it ridicule or contempt?
Whatever it was, it wasn’t a good thing.
“Um… Good. Then I will tell you here.”
The old doctor started flipping the charts. As he turned each page, his heart started beating fast.
Can Jinwoo Cha and Jian go back to the way they were before? Will they be able to take out the seeds they so longed for from Jian’s arms?
“First of all… Pregnancy is correct. Congratulations. Mr. Jian.”
“Phew…”
“Oh, congratulations, Jian!”
Jian covered her face with her palms as if she was happy. Seungyeon’s congratulations are heard soon after. He was congratulating Jian as sincerely as he was pregnant.
When you see this, you really…
Between the dead. My husband and I really feel like we’ve become friends.
“However…”
“By the way…?”
The doctor carefully checked the chart. His eyes flashed fiercely as he lifted his glasses up and down.
“Your husband is Cha Jin-woo, right?”
“Yes… That’s right.”
“Um… I am not Mr. Cha Jin-woo’s child.”
“…”
“Yes…!?”
“Whoa…”
Is it because the waiting room is empty? The doctor’s voice resonated clearly. Cha Jin-woo lowered his head, and tears began to well up in Jian’s eyes again.
“The child is not Cha Jin-woo’s seed.”
“It can’t be… Sir. Could you please check again?”
Jian grabbed the teacher’s arm.
Dump…
Cha Jin-woo sat down on the chair as it was. He groaned but said nothing.
“Just once, sir, do a proper test… One more test…”
“Miss Jian. It’s kind of hard to say, but… There’s no chance.”
The doctor said firmly.
“What is that…”
“Cha Jin-woo is not a body that can impregnate anyone.”
