Chapter 205: A...?
Seoha’s POV
"Ahh" Minjae breathes out loudly.
"What a lovely day, the sun is bright, the sky is blue and I’m with my soulmate" he sings loudly.
He’s holding on to my arm and plastering his body to my side.
We agreed to take a walk to a café we like, and Minnie has been sighing happily like a movie character.
It’s a happy atmosphere, but for some reason I can’t shake off the image of the man at the door earlier.
The way he looked at me was disturbing.
"Seo-ya, your lack of energy is very inspiring and delightful" Minjae says. He’s not so subtly telling me that he doesn’t like how low energy I’m acting.
"You pulled me out of bed, what did you expect?" I ask with a pout and he sighs.
"You’ve always had the tendency to be a brat. I tried to save you, but no. Now look at you proudly hugging your bratty side after letting daddy fu-"
"Yah, Minjae PLEASE" I gasp, slapping a palm over his mouth.
I should buy a sock to shove in his mouth!
"We are in public, please behave" I hiss in embarrassment before taking my hand off his mouth.
"Only a guilty person hides their actions. You heathen, you can barely walk in a straight line" he says, acting like I disappointed him and as if he’s sobbing.
My eyes dart to the woman giving us a dirty look and I give her a small bow in apology on behalf of my wild friend.
"You’re crazy" I murmur, tucking my hair behind my ear.
Instead of cracking another joke, Minjae asks something in a small voice.
"Huh?" I ask.
"Am I too much?" Minjae repeats himself and I stop mid-step to look at his face. He looks genuinely sorry for teasing me, so I give him a hug.
"No, you’re not too much. You’re perfect" I say. He hugs me back and I feel the moment his remorse switches to playfulness.
"Why didn’t you ask where I was for three days" he hisses, giving me a cat punch on my arm.
"Minnie!" I exclaim, giggling at the way he wags his finger in my face. "I’ve been dying to tell you everything" he gives me another cute punch.
"Sorry" I say while laughing at his tone, gesture and punches.
"And you obviously owe me a lot of explanations, you’re wearing a collar" he says and I cover my face, still laughing at him.
My chest feels light and I feel genuinely happy. I didn’t realize how much I missed my best friend and his silly personality.
Minjae knows how to color my stormy days yellow; he makes everything bright and happy with his borderline annoying jokes.
"I promise I’ll tell you everything after we visit the hospital" I say and his eyes brighten before turning dull again.
"Can we eat before we go see my baby?" he asks and I take his hand.
"You’re nervous?"
"Shut up" he murmurs but holds on to my hand tighter. The action makes me smile at him softly.
My strong best friend has always been the one who plays the role of a comforter in our relationship, it’s my turn.
"Don’t be nervous Min-ssi, you’re already doing great" I say in a cheerful tone.
"What if they say something is wrong with my pup? What if I am doing something that-" Minjae starts to ramble and I hug his body tightly to shut him up.
"That’s impossible Minnie-ya, you’ve taken care of me for so long. I’m sure you would do even better with your own baby" I encourage him.
I am cupping his cheeks in the middle of the walkway and he nods, holding the hands that are resting on his cheeks.
"You really think?" he asks and I nod, "trust me" I say and he sighs as if he’s thinking about it.
"Seoha...I want to eat a lot of cheesecake" he whispers randomly and I can’t help but burst into laughter.
"cheesecake sounds good actually" I agree, hooking our arms together before we walk into the cute café together.
We order and sit close to the window so that we can enjoy people-watching while eating.
"So...start" he points at my collar and I run my finger over it. I’m still in awe that I am a claimed omega.
"I said I’ll tell you after the appointment, you can’t fool me" I stick my tongue out at him and he groans.
"Whatever, let’s eat this fast and go. You know I live for gossip" Minjae says, flipping his imaginary long hair over his shoulder.
"Of course you do Min-min, you’re the best gossiper ever" I say sarcastically.
"My sweet and innocent Seoha will never say that! Ughh Taesan is corrupting you" he complains and I shake my head.
This man will be the best mother the male omega world has ever seen.
’What about us?’ my omega asks softly and I divert my attention to the cheesecake on my plate.
At the hospital, Minjae keeps insisting on me to follow him in.
"Ah...look at that, very healthy" the doctor says softly. She’s holding the device over Minjae’s round stomach and smiling softly at him.
Minjae’s eyes are bright and wet with unshed tears as he stares at the screen.
"My baby?" he asks in a shaky voice and my chest feels tight in a strange way.
"Yes...your son"
"Seoha-ya" Minjae bursts into tears and I hug him, crying silently with happiness and again, jealousy.
"Your son, Minjae. You’re going to be the best boy mom" I say and he nods, accidentally wiping snot on my neck.
"This is so emotional and I can’t even think of a joke" he sobs and the doctor patiently stands by, watching us comfort each other.
After a few minutes of crying, Minjae finally lifts his head and sniffles.
"I need to pee" he says and I let go for him to get off the chair. "You can go around that corner" the doctor directs Minjae while I continue to wipe my tears off.
The room is cool and the air conditioner is buzzing with electricity, I sniffle again and wipe a stray tear.
"Do you want to check your baby too?" she asks and I point at myself as I let out a breathless laugh, "I’m not pregnant" I say and she raises her brow.
"I’m very sure you’re pregnant" she says and I shake my head.
"I’m not" I insist with a laugh...but she doesn’t laugh back, she just shrugs.
"Okay, I have been around enough pregnant people to identify the smell of milk even at the earliest stage. So lay down" she says and I obey her in a daze.
That’s so funny, I can’t be pregnant...
"I was right" she says and my eyes widen at the sight of the image on the screen.
A baby.
