I couldn’t help myself, I just had to check my phone, I just want to see what people were writing about. I went on the search engine to type Jungkook’s name and he was trending everywhere.

“Pop Idol Jungkook in a relationship with a much older woman”

“Singer/Model/Entertainer Jungkook now dating 29-year-old makeup artist”

“Who is Kang Yuna?”

“Jungkook love interest has drastic age difference”

I deeply sigh shutting my phone back off, ignoring all the unread messages I had received from family and friends, it was all too much. “Hey,” Jungkook walks into the bedroom kissing my forehead, “how are you feeling,” “I’m okay,” I lied, I’m definitely not going to mention that I was browsing articles about us, “mind if I lay with you?” he smiles at me, I scooted over on his single size bed and we laid cramped together.



“How long are we going to be in hiding?” I asked Jungkook looking up at the ceiling, “Not sure,” “Well, we can’t be here forever…only because I need to go to my appointment soon…we get to hear its heartbeat.” He raised his eyebrows and looked down at my flat stomach, he gently touched it and slightly rubbing it, “Wow…” he smiles, “I…I want to be there to hear it.”

“Will you be able to?” He peels his eyes off my stomach and looks at me, “Yes, this little one is always going to be put first.” I smiled and pecked him on the lips, “When do we tell your dad?” “I don’t know, just, not now,” he frowns, “Why? What’s wrong?” I scrunched my brows, “Nothing Yuna,” he sighs, “There’s obviously something wrong, why hide it from your father?” he sits up rubbing his eyes not answering, “Jungkook??”



“Because…we aren’t married Yuna.” I felt my heart being stabbed, why did that hurt me I mean I honestly never thought about marriage…especially to Jungkook because we just started dating months ago, everything is moving fast!! I don’t even think he loves me like that and I don’t want to be forced into marriage because of a baby, and I know neither does he. “Sorry Yuna,” he twitched his lips as he looks down at the floor, “no, you’re right Jungkook.” I quietly say, the room was filled with awkward silence.

The room door slowly opened, “Oh you kids are in here, what’s going on?” Jungkook’s father walked in with some clean blankets, “Nothing dad, just talking.” “I see, why don’t you talk outside it’s a beautiful day out, maybe you can show Yuna around the town,” “Sure, I guess.” Jungkook looks back at me and half smiled.

“There’s not a lot of people in this town are there?” I asked as we were walking the narrow streets to the car, “Not really, I guess a lot of the younger generations moved and all that’s left is the older ones. Which is pretty nice, since not a lot knows who I really am.” He smiles, “Well, where do you want to go or do, I’ll show you around anywhere.” “Well…I am kind of hungry,” I laughed, “Of course, you are feeding for 2,” he pinches my cheek, “I know a good place we can eat at.”

We drove to a seafood restaurant that was about 20 mins away from his father’s house, the restaurant overlooked the ocean, it was so beautiful as the sun was setting over the water. “Order what you like,” he winks at me, “I will, I just hope nothing will trigger my nausea,” I stuck out my tongue looking through the menu.

We finished ordering and waited for our food to arrive, “Yuna, could you eat a lot of seafood even though you’re pregnant?” Jungkook asked looking down at my stomach, “Mmm, not too much, I mean there’s some types of fish I’m not allowed to eat like shark or ahi tuna.” “Oh, okay, I was just making sure,” he smiles at me, “Aw, look at you being all protective and what not,” I teased him, “Of course I have to be, I’m the daddy,” he winks at me which cause me to laugh out loud.



“Are you going to be that overprotective dad if we have a girl and not allow her to date until she’s 40?” He scrunched his eyebrows at me, “Of course, that’s supposed to be my job,” I laughed again rolling my eyes, it feels so good to finally be us again and not worrying about all the negativity. “Hi sir and ma’am, we had a shift change so now I will be taking over and serving you I’m Won Hayoon, “ the server bows, “Is there anything else I can get you while you wait for your order?”

“I’d like a refill please,” Jungkook says looking up, the server eyes grew wide as she stares at Jungkook, “J-Jeongguk? Jeon Jeongguk?” she covers her mouth, his eyes too widen with realization, “Hayoon…” they just both stared at each other, I feel like I’m missing something.



“I-it’s been so long!” she smiles, “Yeah, it has,” the tip of his ears turned a hint of red, I cleared my throat with an uncomfortable smile and both eyes turned to me, “oh um, Hayoon this is…this is…my girlfriend…Yuna,” his gaze falls down at the table once he mentions my name, “Oh! Hello, I’m Hayoon, an old friend of Jeongguk’s,” he looks up at her as if she said something wrong, “Oh well um, ex…girlfriend.”

The smile on my face faltered.
