[WEDNESDAY] I was feeling sad all morning so i called my parents who lived in LA using the Kakaotalk App.

Mom : Jooeun-ah.
Dad (*asks) : how are you ?
Jooeun (*smiles & says) : i'm great but i've been wanting to tell the both of you something.
Mom (*asks) : what is it honey ?
Jooeun : you two are possibly are going to be grandparents soon.
Dad (*shocked & asks out loud) : WHAT ???!???
Mom (*asks calmly) : how did that happen ?
Jooeun : i might’ve slept with this guy i'm sharing an apartment with here in Korea.
Dad (*gets angry & asks) : i didn't let you go to Korea to do this Jooeun.
Dad : we raised you better than that !
Jooeun : i know, i'm sorry. It was a big mistake and i'm ready to pay for what i've done.
Dad : i want you to move out of that apartment and find a new place to live.
Dad : we’re going to be moving to Korea to live with you and help you raise the baby.
Dad : that person doesn't need to know about the baby's existence.
Dad (*asks) : do you hear me ?
Jooeun : yes dad.
Dad : we’re going to keep in touch often so you better pick up the phone.
Jooeun : i understand.

I hung up the phone instantly and cried all night. I spent the rest of the week looking for a new place to live in newspapers and the internet. I also began to have morning sickness and threw up.

After two weeks, I had already found a new place to live. It's a small apartment where i teach at the middle school which can fit both of my parents. Chanyeol had already came back from visiting his sister in Busan. He had the day off and so did i. I took the time to talk to Chanyeol in the kitchen.

Chanyeol : you look like you have something on your mind.
Jooeun : i wanted to talk to you about something.
Chanyeol (*looks up at Jooeun & asks) : what's on your mind ?
Jooeun : i'm going to visit my parents in LA. i fly there tomorrow morning.
Chanyeol : it's so soon.
Jooeun : they wanted to see me right away and now's the time i'm free.
Chanyeol : well, i'm glad that you are finally seeing your parents after so many years.
Jooeun : yeah, me too.
Jooeun : after i return from LA, i won't be staying here anymore.
Jooeun : i talked to my parents and they are going to move here in a place they bought not long ago.
Jooeun : so i’ll be living with them again.
Chanyeol : we’ll still see each other from time to time.
Jooeun : we won't.
Chanyeol (*asks) : what do you mean ?
Jooeun : i think it's best if we went our separate ways like before we met.
Jooeun (*asks) : what's the point of seeing each other if we can't see each other often anymore ?
Chanyeol : we can still do this Jooeun.
Jooeun : our lives are different from each other. You're a musician and i'm a teacher, two different worlds. Jooeun : all of this was a lot for me to think about and i made a decision.
Chanyeol : we can't. What we had was too precious. That one night changed my life forever.
Jooeun : it changed mine more and a lot of decisions were made.
Jooeun : i'll have your rent money for this month before i leave so you don't have to worry about it.
Jooeun : i'm sorry Chanyeol.

I ran to my room to calm myself down.
