"Let's flirt, officially"
63 • Did you get a rabbit?
Since she'd made up her mind, she decided to go right away. Yeo-ju arrived at the hospital and approached the nurse, deciding to apply for treatment at the information desk.
도여주
I came here to get treatment.
"Oh, what hurts you?"
도여주
Hmm, I heard you feel a little nauseous and your complexion doesn't look too good. Oh, and you also seem to have a bit of a body ache.
The nurse nodded slightly after hearing the woman's symptoms. Then she asked for her name, age, and other personal information.
"Could you tell me your name and age?"
도여주
I'm helping you, and I'm twenty-seven years old.
Let's talk about age. It's already been two years since I met Jungkook, and I'm suddenly struck by how quickly time flies. Two years is a short time, and now we're already married.
"Yes. Then, would you please wait until I call you-?"
도여주
Yes, I understand.
I sat down in the waiting chair a few steps away from the information desk. I pulled out my phone and texted Jungkook that I had arrived safely at the hospital.
[Jungkook, I'm at the hospital. So don't worry and work hard. I'll report back when I get the results.]
I sent a text, and it was as if I'd received a reply right away. It looks like he's planning on keeping his phone by his side all day.
[ - If anything happens, be sure to text me!! I'll fly over. ]
도여주
Anyway, the fuss is-
"Your Majesty, please go to examination room number 2-"
도여주
Oh, yes!!
The nurse at the information desk stood up and pointed to the second examination room. Yeo-ju, who was sitting in the waiting chair, followed the nurse.
Entering the second examination room, the smell of alcohol hit me. My face automatically crumpled. The female doctor, with a kind smile and a hint of understanding, pointed to a chair.
"Well, you seem to be feeling a bit under the weather?"
도여주
… Yes. I feel a bit nauseous. People around me often say that my complexion looks bad.
The doctor listened intently to the woman's words, steadily scribbling notes with a ballpoint pen. Then he reached out and placed a hand on her forehead to check her temperature.
"Hmm, definitely - your complexion doesn't look good. But I don't think you have a fever. Not yet."
도여주
Not yet?
"First of all, are you married?"
I came in for a checkup, and out of the blue, the doctor asked if I was married. I tilted my head in confusion. The doctor just laughed and said it was a kind of diagnosis.
도여주
Oh, yes… I got married. It’s been about six months now.
"Oh, what a wonderful time- First of all, there's something I'm suspicious of. Should we do a quick blood test first?"
도여주
Blood test… how long does it take to get the results?
"Uh, no. About 15 to 20 minutes?"
I nodded slightly. I hadn't expected a blood test, but since they said it wouldn't take that long, I had no choice but to go ahead with it.
A few minutes later, the needle was quite thick, so a bruise formed, just like the needle mark. I pressed the area with cotton, sat back down, and waited for the doctor to arrive.
"It hurt a lot, didn't it? Even I could tell the needle was a bit thick-"
도여주
Did you get the test results back?
"It's out. But to really nail it down, I need to do one more thing. Usually, men don't believe without proof, right?"
The teacher continued, looking at Yeoju with a bright, happy expression. Yeoju, on the other hand, had a cold, and she wondered, "What evidence is there?" But the doctor said so, so what could she do?
"Okay, let's go inside first. Let's do an ultrasound."
도여주
Huh? I have a cold and body aches. Should I get an ultrasound?
"Oh my, I often hear that patients are oblivious, right? So... I don't know even after two months."
For a moment, my mind went blank. I tried to piece together the words the teacher had given me as hints, wondering what they were all about.
"Patient, you're pregnant. And you're two months pregnant. … Hmm, usually you notice it before that."
The doctor, who had been watching me dumbfounded, drove a wedge into me. Then, startled, I looked at him, covering my mouth with my hand, as if a scream was about to burst out.
"I just realized it. First, we need to show the baby's face to the father. So, let's take an ultrasound picture."
도여주
… Yes?, Yes yes … .
전정국
Why haven't you contacted me? Is it a serious illness?
Jeong-guk, who had been keeping a reporter by his side and watching him write opposing articles, grew increasingly worried when Yeo-ju hadn't contacted him for quite some time.
전정국
… Sir. Are you married?
"Yes? Oh, I am… I am married. I have children… So I wrote those articles while receiving money. I had to feed them."
전정국
My wife seems very sick. What should I do? Should I buy her something delicious to eat?
Jungkook had tied his ankles to the reporter's, preventing them from escaping. The reporter's expression was one of, "Why are you asking me that?"
"If you're sick, it's better to go early and take care of yourself..."
전정국
I guess so. Hey, Mr. Reporter, hurry up and write the article. I have to get home quickly.
" yes? ... "
When the reporter asked back with a puzzled expression, Jeong-guk pressured him to hurry up. It was incredibly stressful, but he was able to significantly shorten the time.
도여주
Wow, is this really a dream or reality....
I stared at the ultrasound image I'd just taken for a long time. Fearing it might be a dream, I pinched my cheek. Only after I felt the pain surge through me was I sure it wasn't a dream.
도여주
By the way, I wonder if Jungkook will like it. I hope he does-
The front door suddenly opened with a bang. Startled, the female protagonist poked her head out to check, but Jungkook rushed in and hugged her tightly.
도여주
Huh?, why is it like this? ...
전정국
What did the hospital say? You're really not feeling well. You need to be admitted. Should I tell you to reserve a VIP room right away?
도여주
Ah, no, how many questions are you asking in 30 seconds?
He must have been quite worried. Even though the female lead was smiling, Jeongguk's expression was so serious that he looked like he was about to cry. So, to calm him down, I patted his back.
도여주
Don't worry, it's not like that.
전정국
If not that, then what... You're not lying, saying you're worried about me, are you?
도여주
No, that's not it-
As we spoke, I showed Jeongguk the ultrasound image I'd been hiding behind my back. A few seconds of silence followed.
전정국
... what's this?.
도여주
I'm pregnant. 9 weeks at that. I can hear Jeon Jungkook Jr. in my belly.
전정국
...did you get a rabbit? Really?
