Chapter 5: I Thought This Was Over...
It had been a few months since my regrettable one-night stand with Jumin. Although V was Jumin's best friend he couldn't excuse his behavior and decided it best he be removed from the RFA. From that moment we heard nothing from him. Even if he wanted to speak to us his pride would never let him. With Jumin gone things were pleasant in the group. The only person that was close with him was V and V is usually busy with work so not much is different. My job at the coffee shop is great and I didn't know how much I loved coffee. My situation with Jumin turned out to be a blessing in disguise. On top of that I'm not even pregnant. A month after our mishap I got my period so that removed a lot of stress and I could be happy to not have to think of that arrogant bastard again.
"How are things going?" Samantha said cheerfully as she walked into the shop. "Thanks for holding down the fort for a while. I didn't expect we would run out of coffee so quickly."
"Everything's great!" I said happily as I grabbed the heavy bag filled with coffee beans from her.
"Woah! Are you okay?" She asks quickly as I drop the bag after grabbing it.
"Yeah. It just slipped. It's a little heavier than I remember." I said brushing off the fact that I felt weaker.
"Oh okay. Maybe you should hit the gym hahahaha." She said laughing.
As I turned to carry the bag to the back room I started to feel woozy. The room began to spin and then everything went black. I had passed out.
I'm not sure how much time went by but I woke up in a hospital bed. I looked around the room and saw Zen sleeping in a nearby chair and there were flowers everywhere, probably from everyone else. As I began to sit up a nurse walked in and quickly left. She came back with a doctor and Zen woke up pleased I was awake.
"Hi Jaehee, glad to see you're awake." The doctor responded with a smile. "Seems you collapsed from exhaustion."
"Exhaustion? That's weird. I felt fine and I've actually been doing less lately since I got a new job at a coffee shop." I responded very confused.
"Well I don't think it would have mattered. You were physically exhausted and your iron is low. This causes a lack of oxygen to the muscles and other parts of the body. Coupled with being pregnant it was just too much to handle." The doctor said calmly.
"PREGNANT!?" Zen shouted I said in unison.
"That's impossible!" I stammered, "I have been menstruating since my last sexual encounter."
"Although it's uncommon some women have a period while pregnant. Which helped contribute to the lack of iron." The doctor said calmly. "I will step out and give you guys time to talk. Congratulations you two. The baby will be very cute."
I sat in the bed for a moment after the doctor left and started to sob.
"I thought this was over." I said weeping.
Zen came over and sat on the bed with me. He wrapped his arms around me and let me cry. After a few moments I dried my eyes and he spoke.
"I don't think you should tell him." He said sternly. "Knowing that bastard he'd make your life a living hell."
"I have to. He's the father and he has a right to know." I said softly. Although I completely agreed with Zen.
"Well then take your time to process everything. You don't have to rush and tell him. We're all here for you." Zen said calmly.
"Thank you Zen." I said reassured.
"I have a suggestion; it may be too much but I think it would be a good idea." Zen stated calmly. I listened intently curious at his thoughts.
"Maybe you should move in with another RFA member. What you're going through is heavy Jaehee and I don't want you feeling alone during this time. The other members and I have talked it over and we all have our doors open to you if you want. We're worried about you. Obviously the other members don't know about the baby, but you collapsing raised some concern. It's not a bad idea." Zen said calmly.
"That may not be a bad idea." I said. "However, I would have to live with another woman. Nothing against you guys, but it would be to awkward."
"I completely understand." Zen said smiling. He seemed to be more at peace with my decision to not be alone. "Well the others will probably be here soon. I told them you woke up and they want to see you. If you couldn't tell by the flowers they really care about you."
"I see that." I said smiling. "Also, how long was I out for?"
"8 hours." Zen said sadly.
Before I could say something 3 people came rushing into the room. It was Yoosung, Seven, and Samantha.
"JAAAEEEHEEEEEE! The Defender of Justice is here!" Seven shouted.
"I immediately left my LOLOL quest when I heard you woke up!" Yoosung said with tears in his eyes.
"Oh Jaehee! I was so worried about you!" Samantha said rushing towards me and hugging me tightly.
"Thanks. Guys. I appreciate the concern, but could you guys calm down a bit." I said sternly but smiling.
"You have something you need to tell us Jaehee. I hacked the hospital and read your medical files. It seems you will be okay." Seven said smiling. Any time he has a reason to hack something he will.
"I hate you Seven, but yes I do have an announcement. It appears that I am pregnant." I said looking down in shame. Suddenly a wave of emotion came over me and I started sobbing. Everyone was quiet and didn't respond.
"Do you want to live with me Jaehee?" Samantha asked. "We all talked and thought it be best if you stayed with someone for a while. You having a baby doesn't change that decision and since I am a woman I think it would be best for you to stay with me. If anything, I want you to stay forever." She said smiling. Later I would find out that Samantha loves kids and me having a baby was something that excited her.
I stayed quiet for a while but quietly said thank you to Samantha for her offer. I didn't think I was cared so much by the RFA. Since I was brought in by Jumin I didn't think these same people would be my closest friends. I started to smile and for once I was truly happy with where my life was.
