a few weeks later

Since the day of finding out about the dad reveal, Namu couldn't get over it. He kept rewatching the moment of it in front of his eyes inside his head and he was trying to understand somehow, why this happened.

Whole situation made him weaker again and Namjun started drinking again and bigger amount of alcohol, than before. There were countless times, when he came to his apartment completely wasted, not knowing, how he had gotten there or how much he had drunk. It was one of his darkest eras of his life and for sure he wasn't the only one, who was feeling like that.

third trimester of Stephanie's pregnancy

The third trimester of Stephanie's pregnancy hit like a rock to the soft human's head. Because there wasn't any left time for the preparation for the expected baby, Jun started buying neutral branded stuff for the little one.

He even argued with Yunki many times, what they wanted to buy together for the little bean and this whole thing was a big surprise for their mutual love - Stephanie -, even though this whole process had been full of arguing, stress, misunderstandings and lying about not too important stuff.

Also during the whole time of preparation, Jun didn't show up in Stephanie's life even once. He thought, it would be better like this, cuz their relationship kept balance on very thin layer of ice, which was breaking after every move and that's why he hoped, that this surprise will somehow help to get it back to the normal, where they had started back then.

Whole surprise took Namjun good seven weeks, however it was the best decision of his life. Because he went all in, he even her parents house.

~ the day of paying for a huge purchase ~

,,Hi eomma!" said Namu to his not by blood mother, actually the mother of Stephanie.

,,Omo, Junie! You're such a grown-up man! I haven't seen you for ages! How are you, my son?" Stephanie's mother was in awe, that she was seeing her future son in front of her.

While mama was talking, she kept dragging Jun inside to let him know, that he should behave there as if it was his house.

It didn't take long and Namu and mama were sitting on her couch.

,,Madam Kim, I've heard from my eomma, that you're planning to sell this house and move to something smaller and somewhere, where it's peaceful and not too in rush or noisy. Is it true?"

Miss Kim looked at him with wider eyes and then she asked: ,,Are you into buying it for you and my daughter?"

Namu only smiled at her and then he answered: ,,Yes eomma, I would love to buy it, because for both of us this house mean a lot of memories and I don't wanna just remember, how this house used to look like, when you and your family was living here."

These words completely disarmed Stephanie's mother. The silence, which was filing the room, didn't last long and the mom quickly said: ,,I don't want anything from you, when it comes to the prize of this house. Only thing, which you'll pay for, will be changing documents full of ownership and rights of his, okay?"

Namjun instantly froze. ,,Are you serious, Miss Kim?!" He still couldn't believe it.

,,Yes Namjun. I'm so happy, that you're my daughter's partner for life and I hope, that you two won't take long to start building fam, after the wedding. It's just little something, what is important to the beginning and I wanna make it easier for you two, cuz I you two unconditionally."

As everyone expects, both of them started crying out of pure happiness. After a few moments, Jun stood up in front of Stephanie's mother and he bowed to her as deepest as he was able.

During the rest of the day, Namu was rushing from the clerk to another clerk and on the end of the day, everything was in process of being formally rewrite on Namjun's full name and his details.

end of Namjun's perspective

The last month of pregnancy arrived, it was almost surprising, if someone had some chance to see me at my house, because I spend most of the time with Lily or Yunki at his place.

But to everyone's surprise, once I had been finally back home, Jun also returned. At the moment, when I saw him, I wasn't feeling the strong connection between us like before and I even felt weird, because I had stopped being used to seeing him at my house for very long time.

Again, he brought a bouquet, which was breathtaking and at this moment, we experienced some changes. For example, he looked pretty decently dressed up, smelling like a perfumery, he even put my fave one on him, so I didn't mind that much and he was completely sober.

At first both of us were just standing and looking at each other and when we became very uncomfortable with this situation, I said: ,,That's new...I thought, that you had already given up on me and our little...now big...bean..."

Jun immediately relaxed, when he realized, that I wasn't going to throw him out of the window for not being present in my life and then he came to me to give me the bouquet and then tight hug with a shower of kisses on forehead, cheeks and lips.

When Jun stopped this comedy full of pretending that nothing had happened between us, I became serious and with all of my courage, I exclaimed: We need to talk...seriously, without jokes and these bullshits."

Namu was shocked, how quickly this lovey dovey moment turned into something destructive. It was pretty clear, that Jun became worried about the relationship of ours, because he knew, that something was totally off.

Even I was shocked, how straightforward, brave and confident I was, when I started talking to Jun, trying to express my emotions.
