"Woah woah! Calm down there tiger. What happened?" asked Minjae startled by my sudden outburst.
I gave him a death stare as I picked up a cushion and threw it across the room yelling, "that asshole! Who does he thin he is huh!? Does he think that I'm just some toy that he can play with when he is bored then drop when satisfied ugh!"
Minjae hugged a cushion as went on and on ranting about how much I hated the guy not daring to say a word but did pointed to my stomach to remind me to calm down.
I sighed taking deep breaths as I walked over to the other side of the room where I threw the pillow and picked it up returning it to its rightful place on the couch.
I plopped myself on the couch groaning in anger and frustration turning to Minjae, "did you know that if you had not cough our little make out session would have probably turned into something more?"
"I'm sorry? I don't know. Are you thanking me or are you upset?" he asked tiptoeing across thin ice.
"Ughh I don't know" I said resting my head at the back of the couch, "maybe I should be thanking you because loot at that, he's gone leaving me feeling stupid again."
"You're not stupid" said Minjae placing a hand on my shoulder, "you're just confused on whether staying with him is right or wrong."
"Yeah but that's the thing" I injected, "we are not together. I do not know what this is, what ever is happening between us."
"Do you want to be with him" he asked and I froze.
Did I want to be with him?
Of course not!
Right?
Ughh.
I got up from off the couch still not answering his question, and went to the kitchen to get some water.
I had drank almost everything in the bottle in only one sip, damn I was thirsty.
"So" said Minjae interrupting my thoughts, "aren't you going to answer the question?"
I sighed as I screwed the cap back onto the almost empty bottle and placed it back into the fridge before making my way back to Minjae.
"Aren't you going to leave?" I asked as I stood in front of him folding my arms.
"Soon" he replied as he shook his head, "but first, answer the question."
I gave him a hard glare hoping that that would have stopped him from poking but he just sat there staring up at me intently, patiently waiting as if he was a kid at story time.
"Fine" I finally caved, "yes, maybe I do want to be with him but I don't know. He is so hot tempered and easily upset. His feelings change just like that and he is impossible sometimes."
"Yup sounds just about right. You two are perfect for each other for you just describe yourself. I am sorry for your child." he chuckled and I glared. "See," he said poking my cheek and I made a motion to bite his finger off.
"But for real though," he started again, "you are both hot tempered and easily upset. You match each other's energy perfectly and you guys are each other's extinguishers. I bet you're the only girl he has met that isn't afraid of him. You put him in his place sister. Go girlfriend!"
I chuckled at him and gave him a shoulder shove which caused him to whimper in pain.
"Sorry" I said apologizing reaching out my hand to massage his shoulder but he dodge my hand and held his up telling me to stop for he didn't want me to hurt him further.
I lowered my hand and leaned my back against the couch before I spoke again, "anyway, he is with Harin and I don't want to be a home wrecker and get between them."
"This again? Look I know that I should hate the guy for doing this to me but in all truth I was asking for it. I shouldn't have pushed him and I should have listened but even I could see with a bust up eye that he doesn't want her. It is clearer than day Tally. Is a side effect of pregnancy blindness for sis that is what you are."
This time I hit him on the shoulder with the intention to hurt him and ignored his cry of pain when I did.
"Whatever but you can justify it enough but I am a home wrecker and that bro is clearer than day."
"Well you are hard headed so there is no use in arguing with you I guess. I do need my energy and strength anyway." he shrugged and I smirked in satisfaction when he winced it pain.
We sat there in silence when I remembered that I had done the ultrasound today and went to grab my bag to show Minjae the pictures.
"Woah" he said as he gently held them in his hands, "this is what a baby looks like but to e sure, where is it?"
I laughed at the idiot before me and pointed to the spot where the baby was and hi eyes melted.
"Can I?" he asked pointing to my stomach and I shook my head yeah scooting closer so that he could touch my belly.
"You're belly is still so tiny. When will it get bigger?"
I removed his hands from my tummy as he was rubbing it far too long for my liking and he took the hint and apologized, "I'm only six weeks along which is apart of the first trimester. I don't mind my belly being tiny, its easier to hide the pregnancy that way and as for when will it get bigger, I don't know."
"Well I think you should tell him. Imagine how happy he will be that you are carrying his baby. If I'm so happy I cant imagine him."
I smiled looking down at my fingers ad I twiddle with them when I heard a knock at the door.
I looked over at Minjae raising a questioning brow for who could that be now, "oh yeah I forgot to tell you. We were so caught up that's why but I called Lia to take me home while you were outside. I thought she would have been here earlier."
"Oh okay. What!?" I yelled after I realized what he had said, "why would you call her here? To my house? When you know that I don't like her and I am pretty sure that she doesn't like me either!"
"Relax," he said helping himself off the couch and slowly made his way towards the door opening it up to let her in.
"Hi" she said smiling at him and hugging him as he stepped aside to let her in.
I balanced all my weight on one leg folding my arms as she took her shoes off.'
At least she had that decency.
I was surprised to see that she was wearing shoes that actually fit this time and she wasn't wearing any extravagant makeup.
"Hello" she said bowing as we made eye contact as form of respect.
"Hi" I replied dryly then walked off leaving the two at my door step.
"Atalia!" called Minjae after me and I groaned returning with a fake smile.
"Please come in."
"Oh Atalia I wanted to say something to you." said Lia walking up to me and I raised a brow looking at Minjae who was struggling to put his shirt and shoes back on, "I just wanted to say that I am sorry for that night and I should not have provoked you and if it makes you feel any better, Shiwoo and I haven't had sex since the day he met you."
I scoffed rolling my eyes and then I chuckled, "how was that supposed to make me feel better? You think that I am so hurt by the fact that he fucks every whore that he sees?"
She lowered her head and I immediately felt sorry so I did the thing that I swore that I would not, I apologized, "look Lia I am sorry too. I should have never snapped at you like that that nigh and thank you for telling me."
She raised her smiling and I have her one as well.
"Thank you for forgiving me!" she said cheerfully and outstretched her arm coming in for a hug.
"Woah woah woah!" I said backing away and she froze dropping her hands to her side.
"Oh right! Silly me. You're pregnant." she said lightly hitting her forehead.
"Yeah and I hate physical touch-wait! How do you know that?" I asked glaring at Minjae and he raised his hands in defense telling me that he was innocent.
"Oh no don't blame him. I over heard you guys on the phone this morning talking about ultrasound and the pictures are there." I followed her finger to where she pointing and they indeed were there.
"Oh" was all I said as I picked them up and held them tightly in my hands.
"Congratulations by the way. May I ask if Shiwoo is the father?"
I looked at her and sighed figuring that she already knew so why not, "yes he is but he doesn't know and he wont know for now okay?"
"Oh no you don't have to worry about me. My lips are sealed and Minjae is my only friend."
I smiled at her deciding that she wasn't so bad after all, "well you guys better get going before the traffic gets worse. Minjae, Ill see you Monday and Lia, maybe you can hang out with us sometime.
She smiled and clapped her hands excited and laughed with her, "sounds fun and thank you for taking care of him. We will get out of your hair now and I am glad that we had this talk."
"Me too" I replied smiling and waving them out.
Well today was, eventful.
This has left me tired and hungry.. I should order take out.
