"How is this . . . possible?"

Aira's mind became blank and she was unable to utter a single word. She was shocked, she was speechless, she didn't know what to do next. Her mind became fuzzy with a lot of questions she wanted the answers of.

The only person who could help her out of this situation was Doctor Byul.

She no longer wasted any time and quickly made her way out of the room after grabbing her purse but forgot about her mobile. Leaving the device on the table beside her shared bed where the mini lamp glowed brightly, illuminating its brightness all over the room, she rushed herself out of the house.

She didn't care enough to notice anything around her surroundings or hear anything from anyone, all she knew was she wanted her answers.

Jang-Mi was in the living room, watching TV. She noticed Aira's rushed state and that made her curious.

"Where are you going?" she asked, eying her up and down weirdly but Aira left the house without even sparing her a single glance.

"As expected, her disrespectful behaviour," she cursed at her behind her back, "I am damn sure that she went to meet that guy named Sehun again! Such a slut!"

Today, Jungkook was returning home early as he was almost done with his schedule. He wanted to spend some time with Aira which he barely got because of work.

The starting of the morning was already not good. He seriously did not see that coming. He never thought his own mother could be so violent with her daughter-in-law. Thankfully, nothing really bad happened because of his unexpected encounter there.

"I hope mother didn't do something like that to her again and she's fine," he thought and let out a sigh.

"I'm coming home soon, my love."

❈❈❈

After completing his long schedule, Jungkook stood outside the main door of his house. He had a surprise planned for Aira, he wanted to take her out with him to a candlelight dinner to ease her mind because he thought that such little effort could help anyone heal.

He tip-toed his feet and made his way towards their bedroom. He busted the door open to surprise her but he was welcomed by silence.

"Where is she?" he questioned in his mind.

"Aira!" he shouted, eyes searching for that one someone but there was no response, "Did she go out somewhere before my arrival, probably?"

After debating with himself for some minutes, he finally gave up and decided to take a quick shower and wait for her. He took off his black office blazer, followed by his buttoned-up dark gray shirt, watch and striped tie.

He went towards the counter table where the table lamp stood illuminating its yellowish coloured light and something caught his attention there.

A pregnancy device with a double red line.

He froze.

He tried to recall all of her friends' names to whom the possibilities of this device might claim but no one.

Then who?

Wait.

"Aira," right after he said her name, his mind clicked into something.

"If I'm infertile and if this is your device then . . ." he wet his lips, running a hand through his hair, ". . . whose child are you carrying in your womb, Aira?"

❈❈❈

Jungkook sat on the sofa with his head hung low, eyes focused on the white tiled floor. Nothing was audible other than his soft breathing sounds. He was quiet from the outside, but restless from the inside. He was angry, hurt, broken and desperate to believe that what he saw upstairs was a dream.

He wanted her to say what he saw was wrong, what he was thinking was wrong. He wanted her to prove it wrong. His mind became a mess with mixed feelings at this point. He didn't know what to say, what to do and how to react.

"Was I being fooled in the name of love?" he let out a hurtful sigh.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard, meaning someone was walking through the hallway, coming close to where he sat and he already knew who it was.

"What happened, my dear son?" his mother came and sat beside her son, caressing his shoulder.

"Nothing, Mom," he answered monotonously.

"Your facial expression says the opposite. C'mon dear, tell me what happened?" she didn't give up and asked again.

"Mom . . . I guess I was being fooled in the name of love all these days," he ran a finger through his hair, feeling betrayed.

"What do you mean?" she looked confused.

"Mom . . . Aira is pregnant," he confessed, feeling a pang in his heart right at the moment.

"What?" her eyes widened in shock and as a reply Jungkook nodded his head, still staring at the floor, "Tell me you're joking, Jungkook."

"I'm not, Mom."

"How is this even possible?" she made a worried yet shocking face, reacting as if she was worried but deep down, she was happy. Happy about the fact that she got an excellent excuse to make her son leave his dear wife.

"That is the actual question," yet again he let out a painful sigh, "Whose-child is she . . . carrying in her womb?" he stuttered as his eyes became blurry, tears threatening to fall any moment.

He slammed his eyes shut, letting the tear droplet escape from his right eye. He tried to be strong but eventually, he gave up. He was hurt. He was severely hurt.

"I was expecting something like this to happen. I was suspecting her for a long time. I even tried to tell you but no, you never listened! I told you a lot of times that she is not a good girl but still you married her and now look, she proved that she's a slut!" she began spitting poison out of her mouth.

"Mom! Mind your words! She's your daughter-in-law!" anger was taking control of him but he still managed to stay calm.

"What words, dear? I never accepted that slut as my daughter in law! She's a stigma on my family! And now she's carrying that son of a bitch Sehun's child!"

"Just shut up!!!" he raised his voice. Again. He covered both of his ears with his hands and ran to his shared bedroom with her.

Soft sobs were heard from him as he was running upstairs. He reached his room and slammed the door shut making the sound echo through the whole hallway to the living room.

"I see, this is how it's gonna go," she laughed devilishly as she continued.

"I waited for this day to come since the day you married her without my permission and there's no way I'm gonna miss this golden opportunity!"

Aira hurriedly came out of the hospital, took a random taxi and rushed towards her home. She knew she had to give Jungkook a lot of details about her sudden pregnancy and the actual truth.

After 15 minutes of rushed journey, she reached her final destination - her house. She hurriedly went inside and the moment she stepped in, she felt nervous for the first time.

She could feel the atmosphere not being positive like always, instead, it was negative all around. Ignoring the weird atmosphere, she went towards her shared bedroom with him.

She cracked the door open with hope and scanned her eyes everywhere in the bedroom and that's when her eyes got stuck on someone whom she was desperately searching for.

"Jungkook!" she squeaked and smiled after seeing him there.

He turned around and made eye contact with her but something seemed off. Eyes said more than words and his eyes said that a big storm was coming but eventually she chose to ignore that which was not a good option to choose.

"Oh look, who's home after getting laid by some man!"
