18. In A Husband
Minho P.O.V:
"You know what, i have an idea. How about a party at my place?" Jinki smiles brightly.
I had been bored so headed to Onew's job. Kimbum had been seriously busy with class and Amber had to go home since her grandmother was in town (Amber loved her grandmother more then anyone out there.) So I was the only one to come bother him.
"Onew, no offense, you're not that good at organizing parties. Last time you tried to make fancy drinks and..Well you know where that went." I chuckle. Costumers come in and I let Jinki take care of them. When he is done giving them their change he looks back at me.
"Mmm, you know what? I'll have Amber help me out okay!? So you just come, you have to!"
"Ugh, i don't feel like it. Why are you even doing this?"
"To cheer everyone up. We haven't gone out all together in a long time."
"On-"
"Ok Onew, it's your breaktime!" One of Onew's coworkers call out.
"Okay, thanks!" Onew smiles brightly and walks towards one of the food booth. I follow him and we sit across from each other.
He takes out his phone and types something in there. I look at him eyebrow raised as he seems to concentrate on whatever he was typing.
"Onew, what are you doing?"
"Sending invitations for the party."
"Onew, i really don't think-"
"Cannot cancel, the texts already sent." he grins showing me his messenger which had a long texts sent to multiple people.
"Ugh why do you know how to text now?" I roll my eyes feeling my pockets vibrating. I take out the phone and go to my messages.
"Key taught me, made my life way easier. And I'm becoming fast too!" He brags.
I chuckle and read the message.
"Wow. Wait why is the party at my place?!" i frown looking over the text messages Onew had sent me.
"It says it right there. My house is too small." he points at the message on my phone. I shake my head.
"Did Kimbum agree to it?" i question the other.
Onew looks at his phone and grins.
"He just texted me back saying 'Hell yeah!' And I'm sure mark would love it too."
"I don't think Mark would want to hang out with us old geezers." I chuckle knowing the only time my little brother liked to hang out with us was when big parties and drinks were involved.
"Probably not, maybe have him have his own party or something."
I guess i'll ask him to go over Johnny's or something.
"Seriously Onew, you should think of things more before planning stuff." i sigh.
"Yeah, i should..." he smiles sheepishly.
Taemin POV
Minho was obviously avoiding me. But i guess that's what i deserved. I needed to be avoided anyways. I'm glad Makise didn't try to dig on my attitude too much. I wouldn't want to randomly go off on her just because i was angry at myself. The situation i was in right now was all me. Nobody else.
Me.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Hey Taemin, want to watch anime? Promise i won't puke on you this time." she chuckles seeming a little sad.
I was responsible. I had done this, and now i had to be responsible for it. Even if she isn't the one i love, even if i could never look at her that way, she was still the bearer of my child, so now i had to grow some and take care of the baby, and that was all.
"Oh, yeah sure. I don't mind." i smile and we head downstairs. She said she had saved some episodes on demand or something.
"Wait, the second season of K Project came out?!" I exclaim seeing the thumbnail on the screen.
"Yep." she smiles pressing the play button.
"Wow, you are just ahead of me anime wise."
"I know." she grins and the anime starts playing.
We watch about seven episodes, not really talking and just enjoying the anime. Before we can watch the eighth my mother comes home.
"Hello kids." she smiles tiredly, her handbag in hand.
"Mom, how are you." I smile brightly and run to her grabbing her hand bag and hugging her.
"Good, a little tired but good." She smiles at me patting my cheek.
"Hello mother." Makise comes behind and bows slightly.
"Aww, how have my daughter in law and granddaughter or grandson been doing?" she goes over to Maki and rubs her arm.
"Very good mother." Makise smiles.
"Lovely. Oh, i wish i could spend more time with you both. I've just been really busy with work lately. But i promise to be the best grandma in the world."
"Thank you mother." Makise smiles and nods.
"Oh, Taemin. Key and Jonghyun are outside. They said they've been texting you but you haven't answered. They might want to hang out with you tonight." mom informs me.
"Oh really?" i take out my phone and see that it had been on silent this whole time. "Oh, my phone was on silent." I had three texts from Jonghyun and a call from Key.
"It's fine, you can go." Makise smiles.
"No,no, i'll stay."I look around and place my mother's hand bag on the couch.
"Taemin-"
"I'll be right back."i smiles and head out.
"Ah, my son has grown up..." i hear my mother say before closing the door. I spot Key's car parked in front of the gates to run and get in the back seat.
"Taemin!" Jonghyun exclaims as soon as i close the door.
"Hello baby." Key smiles from the driver's seat.
"Hey guys." i greet back.
"You didn't get our texts and calls?"
"Sorry, my phone was on silent." i explain. The two nod and Jonghyun turns to see me.
"Hey buddy, you seem down are you okay?"
I look up to Jonghyun who was looking at me worriedly. Key looks at me through the rear-mirror. Should i tell him? No. Key knowing is enough. Sorry Jonghyun.
"Yeah, don't worry." i grin.
"Alright..." Jonghyun sighs and takes out his phone.
"Hey, by the way, Onew is having a party at his place apparently , you guys coming?"
"He is?" Key questions eyeing him. "I guess I also need to check my phone.."
I look at him questionably before taking my phone out as well.
"Oh," i say seeing Onew's text messages. "I didn't notice his texts."
Jonghyun chuckles and reads the message out loud.
"He said- 'Hello guys! It's been awhile and i really miss hanging out with you guys sooo i've decided to organize a party next Saturday @7 ! Please tell me you can make it, text me back with the chicken emoji for yes or the egg emoji for no.
>(PS:Please respond with the chicken emoji~)
>(PPS: My house is small so the party will be @ Kimbum and Minho's)'"
"That guy is too much." Key chuckles his phone in hand.
"Yeah. Sounds like fun though, we haven't hung out together since like..Forever."
"That's true." i mumble.
"Your Keybum will be there," Jonghyun wiggles his eyebrow at Key who groans.
"There is nothing between us damn it! And it's KIMbum."
"Sure. Whatever you say." Jonghyun says sarcastically.
"And Taemin, Minho and obviously Onew will be there. You guys got close." Jonghyun grins at me.
"Um..." I fidget in my seat.
"Come on! Since when are you not up for a small party." Jonghyun pouts.
"Help me out Key." Jonghyun whines grabbing unto Key's arm and shaking him, earning a nice swat on his hand.
Key looks through the rear mirror and then at Jonghyun.
"I'll go if Taemin goes. Point blank." he sighs.
"Oh seriously? Come on Tae?" Jonghyun begs me, with a pout.
"Don't force him." Key warns.
"I'm no-"
"I'll go guys, it's not that serious." I chuckle.
"Yes!"
"You bully."Key rolls his eyes.
"He'll have fun, right Tae?" Jonghyun cheers.
"I will." I smile.
Key turns around and smiles softly at me.
"Alright then, we'll let you go in. I'll text you later okay?"
"Alright, mom." I chuckle making him smile more.
"Aww, why can't we hang out."Jonghyun whines slightly.
"Well i have Makise to take care of you know.." i explain feeling a lump in my throat.
"Aww, Tae being a good husband, so cute!"
"Shut up dino." I chuckle.
"Seriously Jonghyun shush. Alright bye baby." Key waves as i open my door.
"Bye greatest and most good looking husband of the year!" Jonghyun exclaims before i close the door.
I chuckle and wave as they pull away and drive out. I smile to myself and head back in.
"Makise?" i question seeing her in front of the doorway, putting on her shoes in a rush. She looks up at me surprised and bites her lower lip.
"Sorry Tae, i would watch more anime but i have to go...check on something."
"Wait is the baby fine? Should i drive you?" i ask worriedly looking her over.
"D-Don't worry. Mom is upstairs and she's letting me use her car i'll be fine." she reassures me.
"Alright, well please be careful." i nod a little uncertain. She had been doing okay nowadays but i don't think she should be doing this much, even if her baby bump wasn't showing too much.
"Alright, bye."
I look at the door dumbfounded. I was staying home for her but she was suddenly leaving. Maybe i should've went with her. I sigh and go up the stairs knocking on my mother's door.
"Yes?"
"It's me mom."
"Come in."
I open the door to find her laying under the covers.
"Oh, were you sleeping?"
"No i was just lying down thinking." she smiles motioning for me to come in.
"Oh, i see" i smile and close the door. I walk to her bed and lay next to her as she gives me a spot .She pats my hair and kisses my cheek.
"Taemin, have you been alright?"
"Mmm? Why do you say that mom?"
"You know, you've been acting strange lately. More like I've felt like you weren't as alright as you portrayed yourself to be. I got mother instincts, i feel those things"
"A little i guess.." I admit looking at my hands.
"Why? Are you sick? I would feel terrible if you were and i didn't notice." she says worriedly.
"No mom..Just..I guess the whole baby situation is making me nervous." i say honestly.
"Mmm..I see....It's just that huh?"
"Mhm." i lie.
" Ah okay...It's pretty normal. Don't worry. You're young and will make mistakes. But for the baby, you guys aren't alone. I'm here okay?"
I smile and look up at her.
"Yes mom."
"I felt like it was something else...I was so scared and felt terrible for awhile."
"Something else?"
"Mmm...Nothing..I might've imagined it.."
"Probably mama." I lie covering it with a chuckle.
"I love you baby." she smiles kissing my forehead.
"Me too mom."
I walk out of the room as soon as i am sure my mother has completely fallen asleep. I got to my room and take out my phone which had vibrated when i was lying down.Two messages from Key.
>We are over here playing video games at Jonghyun's house. Seriously he sucks .
>Lol he does.
I chuckle sending the messages. Jonghyun looked manlier than Key but Key was way better of a gamer
>Ugh...And btw...Is you hesitating about going to the thing because of Minho?
I'm a little surprised that he was bringing him up but i text back honestly
>Yeah
>Yah, thought so...
>Mm, but don't worry. I've been fine lately. A little better.
I try to reassure not just to him but to me as well. I was fine right?
Key sends me the sighing emoji.
>I thought about it a lot.
>You guys can't avoid each other forever. Both of you will have to get over it somehow. And maybe you guys will even find a solution. Who knows right?
>Yeah :) You're right.
>Good. So see you at school tomorrow and say hi to Maki for me okay?
>Will do.
> Love you :* Time for me to go kick some dino butt
> XD Love ya too :*
I chuckle and place my phone away. I don't even know where Maki was. I sigh placing my face on my pillow. I'll just go to this thing and see how it goes i guess. To that party.
Makise P.O.V:
It's like my pregnancy hormones were kicking in.
I just felt terrible all over. I was a mess. I wanted to curse at Taemin, i almost even went off on his mother last night because i felt like she was pestering me too much. But i was able to contain it all. Plus this wasn't just about me anymore. The baby was the reason why i was like this, yet it also kept me alive. Each and every second i was scared. Scared because i wanted that baby more and more. Yet scared that it would be a mistake.
"Makise-"
The voice brings me back to reality. I look at the male sitting in front of me. We were in a café that sold pastries and beverages. I used to enjoy the smell and environment of the cute and brightly lit place. But now it just made me feel anxious and nauseated.
"Takeshi, you have to stop calling me like this." i sigh.
"Maki, you keep telling me this knowing i won't stop." he grabs his cup of coffee and sips on it. He was right. For the past month Takeshi hadn't given up. Not on me, not on us.
"You're insane Takeshi. Insane and irresponsible. How many times do i have to tell you i'm married and that we are over and never existed in the first place?"
"As many times as you want. Because honestly this marriage is all fake."
"You know nothing..."
"You know, after awhile i would have given up on you if you actually loved the guy. But you don't. You never loved him and you still don't."
"I told you that i do."
"You did, but do you honestly think i can believe that?"
"Believe what you want Takeshi. All i'm asking is for you to leave my family alone."
"Your..? Makise. Look me straight in the eyes right now and tell me you don't love me."
I clench my fist and stare at him.
"I. Don't. Love. You."
Takeshi chuckles. My blood boiled.
"You know you are a terrible liar." he snickers making me frown.
"I wish i could curse a you, but i wouldn't want my baby to hear me. Goodbye Takeshi." I roll my eyes and get off my seat ready to walk out of this damned shop and never come back.
"Your baby Wait, are you pregnant? C-Could it be mine?" I freeze in my spot, the words almost stabbing me. I turn back to him. Anger filling tears in my eyes.
"Don't you dare ever say that out loud ever again you hear me?" i warn him feeling tears fall down my cheek.
"Makise we-" he stands up and grabs my wrists.
"People are watching, let go of me." I warn feeling his hand unwrap from my wrist slowly.
"Makise-"
"I...Leave me alone Takeshi. This is the last time i'll answer to one of your calls." i run out of the shop towards my mother-in-law's car. I sit in there and wait for a little bit since i felt so dizzy. I start sobbing then tears keep streaming down my cheeks.
"Arg!" I scream alone in the car and hit the stearing wheel,the honk sound echoing around the parking lot. I calm myself down as much as possible until my breathing is good.
I clean my cheeks and check myself on the little mirror before driving away.
