“What should we do?”
Sajun reflexively mumbled, and Taehee calmly answered once again.
“I’m pregnant. Our child.”
A moment of silence passed.
Sajun had a vacant expression, as if he had just received a solid blow.
Why make such an expression?
He was anticipating that he wouldn’t be pleased.
Still, seeing it with his own eyes made her feel resentful.
Whether it was a lump in his throat or frustration, Sajun put ice in his mouth and chewed it again.
Listening to that sound, Taehee remained silent.
It seemed that waiting was the only answer.
After a while, still with a vacant expression, Sajun asked again.
“Why?”
The first word was so amusing that Taehee chuckled.
“Why? Well, it’s because you and I engaged in such behavior. Can you be more precise? You pierced through the slim 1% probability.”
“…”
“You may not realize it yet, but I’m already taking responsibility for the consequences of that action.”
Sajun, who let out a long sigh, slowly wiped his face with his hand.
Why could he feel the weight trickling down his lowered eyelids?
After looking out the window for a moment, Sajun turned his gaze back to Taehee, with a more composed expression than before.
“How long has it been?”
“Now it’s the 8th week.”
In a subdued tone, Taehee responded to Sajun’s question.
“How long has it been for you?”
At Sajun’s question, Taehee remained silent for a moment.
Should I say this as well?
Depending on how I say it, Sajun’s gaze, looking at me as if he would reproach me, was sharp.
But now, thinking that there was nothing left unsaid, Taehee said calmly.
“I first suspected it on the day we went to eat patbingsu together.”
Sajun made a quiet groaning sound, closing his eyes tightly.
The memory of that time came back vividly.
Min Taehee, who asked if the baby was cute while smiling beautifully, and herself, who hadn’t even considered the child while watching that Min Taehee.
Min Taehee, who behaved strangely until parting with strange questions, and herself, who found that strange Min Taehee, despite everything, silently sent her off.
Only now did she understand the Min Taehee of that day. Why she acted strangely, why she created a different atmosphere than usual.
“I was scared and troubled, so I needed some time to think.”
At Taehee’s words, spoken like a sigh, Sajun opened his eyes and spoke as if muttering.
“So, you sent a vague message and disappeared for a week?”
“…!”
“I had all sorts of thoughts during that week. I wondered how crazy I was.”
Strength entered Taehee’s eyes.
As if she wanted to pick on that in this situation.
But Sajun was just an ordinary person in front of Min Taehee, a man in love.
He really thought about everything and even contemplated doing crazy things. He didn’t actually follow through, though.
“I did more than you, Sajun. I thought about everything, and I was on the verge of going crazy. I had no friend to confide in, and I couldn’t tell my mom.”
Sajun had to admit that too.
Pregnancy. Even hearing it herself, she felt uneasy, scared, and her mental state was crumbling. How must Mintaehee have felt?
“I searched the internet like crazy, and it said that if you’re pregnant, you need to confirm the baby’s heartbeat. So, I went to the hospital the Saturday after a week had passed to confirm the pregnancy.”
If that’s the case, after confirming her pregnancy, Mintaehee must have come to her the next day, suggesting they end it with a confession of love.
Moreover, with our child in her womb.
Sajun was angry and felt unjust. He even resented Mintaehee.
Her thoughts still weren’t organized, but one thing was certain.
From the moment Mintaehee suspected the pregnancy, he should have known too.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“If you were in my shoes, would you have told? You hate the idea of having a child that much.”
“Most guys are like that. How many men actually like children?”
At Sajun’s grumbling words, Taehee stared at him with an incredulous look.
“That’s a stereotype. There are many men who like children, you know?”
“So, if I hadn’t come to you, you would have kept it a secret and raised the child alone?”
Sajun’s lowered voice felt like it was growling, or was it just my imagination?
Taehee felt strangely cornered.
“That’s not it. It was just a matter of timing. I did intend to tell you. I considered raising the child alone if you didn’t like it, though.”
This time, Sajun glared at Taehee with quite an intimidating gaze.
When Taehee calmly accepted that gaze, Sajun eventually lowered his head, as if conceding defeat.
“I really had a lot to ask and say to Mintaehee.”
There was a sense of injustice in his softly muttered words.
But that was all.
As if forgetting everything about the pregnancy, Sajun looked at Taehee with a calm expression.
“Just answer me one thing. Why, despite being pregnant, did you suggest breaking up with me, and then go to Minseontae saying you’d confront him?”
Taehee wasn’t particularly surprised by Sajun’s question.
If it were the Minyeonseo she knew, she would have called Sajun on that day without hesitation.
