Chapter 15

CHAEYOUNG

A year later...

"Did you find your luggage?" Chanyeol asked as I walked towards him.

"They said it got boarded on a different plane," I answered back. "But they said they'll contact me immediately when they manage to find it."

He sighed then wraped his arm around my shoulder.

It's been a year since I last came to Korea. I also lost contact with my friends here. It was a rush decision but I guess it was for the best.

"What time will we meet with Appa?" He asked. I instantly looked at my watch.

"In ten minutes, I guess. They're waiting for us in a cafe here at the airport."

"Great. Let's just get this over with so we can finally get married."

I shot him a glare.

"What? Oh, right. Let's get this over with so I can finally get married," he corrected. "Sheesh. Lighten up Park Chaeyoung. It's not like I'm into girls or anything."

I laughed as he said that. Just three months ago, Chanyeol came out to me and revealed that he was gay. And that he's in love with his bestfriend, Baekhyun. (**A/N: shut up guys. I love Chanbaek)

"Then prepare to face your father, Park Chanyeol. But I'm not quite sure why you brought me here though..."

"I need support you beeyotch."

I shook my head. This guy, jinja.

"OMG! He's here!"

"Omo omo! He's finally back from Japan!"

"Kyaaa~!"

"Jimin oppa~!!"

Jimin?! My heart started to get heavy as I turned towards the direction where the teenage girls were running towards at.

"Jimin oppa!"

"Oppa saranghae!!"

"Oppa~!! Marry me juseyo!!!"

"Waaaaa!!"

Loud shrieks of fan girls and multiple flashes of cameras surrounded the arrival area. Chanyeol managed to get a hold of my hand and pulled me, avoiding those fan girls from crushing me.

"Ya, Chaeng. You okay?"

"H-Huh? U-uhuh. I'm fine--" As I turned towards the area where we came from, I saw him. Park Jimin.

He was still as handsome as I remembered. He still had those mochi cheeks. But why does it feel like he's a stranger?

Our eyes locked and I immediately looked away.

"Chan oppa. Let's go."

"Wae? Baekhyun said to wait for him here--"

"Please, oppa. Let's just wait for him somewhere else."

"But--"

"Please."

"Fine."

Hurriedly, we left the areival area and went to the shops instead. My legs were wobbling and my chest tightened. I miss him so much. I yearn for him yet I can't be with him.

A couple minutes later, Baekhyun showed up.

"Rosie!!" He greeted me with the warmest hug ever. "I missed you so much!"

"Ya. We just saw each other a week ago."

"Still." I then noticed he had a stroller with him. And a baby? Baekhyun noticed me looking so he smiled. "He's my son."

Chanyeol coughed.

"I mean, 'our' son." He corrected. "He's Chan and I's son."

He carried the little one. Andhe was so adorable!

"Can I?" I motioned if I could carry the little one.

"Yea sure!"

I took the little one in my arms. He was so fragile.

"How old is he?"

"Around five months." He looked over to his fiancé. "Chan, I'm thinking of buying something for your father. Can you help me out?"

"Sure."

"Chae, can you watch over Jiyoungie for us for a bit?"

"Of course!"

The two left and all I did was play with little Jiyoung. We're currently at a café so I ordered an iced mocha latté as I waited for the two to come back.

"Who's the little angel? Aww of course it's Jiyoungie. Ah coo coo coo."

Jiyoungie was smiling. He even gripped my finger and tried to suck on it. I guess he's hungry so I looked at his baby bag for some formula.

"Say 'aah' Jiyoungie~"

The baby's eyes sparkled at the sight of the baby bottle. I chuckled. It would be really nice to have a baby of my own. But I guess I have to wait for a little longer. I still need to find myself a husband--

The cap of the baby bottle suddenly fell on the floor and rolled away.

"Aigoo Jiyoungie. Look what you did..." I lightly pinched his nose as he continues to drink his milk. I carefully stood up to look for the bottle cap while carrying him. It would be wrong to just leave him on the stroller.

A few steps from where I stood, a guy in white shirt picked up the bottle cap I was looking for. But when he straighten up, I felt my life force leave my body.

"Chaeyoung..."

I suddenly couldn't breathe. He looked at me then at Jiyoung. Then back at me again.

It was a very long and awkwardd silence between the two of us. But Jiyoung broke the trance I'm in when he dropped his bottle.

"Aigoo, Jiyoungie."

I was about to bend down and get the bottle when Jimin picked it up instead.

"T-Thanks..." I took the bottle from him.

"I-Is he...yours?" He asked.

I was shocked. I suddenly felt my throat dry up and couldn't summon any answer.

"Ani. Let me rephrase that," he said. "Is he ours?"

I gasped. But before I could answer, Chanyeol called.

"Chaeng!"

I immediately turned and saw Chanyeol looking at us with Baekhyun beside him holding a paperbag. He hurriedly ran towards us to get Jiyoung.

"I got worried when We didn't see you by the café," he said. He pooked over to Jimin. "Oh. Is he a friend of yours?"

"D-De."

Jimin politely bowed his head.

"Wait. I kinda remember you," he said. "He's your friend back in college right?"

"De..." I clung unto his arm and lightly tugged it. "W-We have to get going. Appa might be waiting."

"Oh right." He bowed at Jimin. "It's nice to meet you again. We have to get going now."

Jimin bowed at him as well. I slightly bowed my head at him then went with Chanyeol towards Baekhyun who was now careying Jiyoung's stroller.

"Who was that?"

"O-oh, n-no one in particular."

Baekhyun's eyebrows furrowed then looked at Chanyeol. I was never a good liar. I never will be, I guess.

"He's Park Jimin."

My eyes widened and I immediately looked at Chanyeol.

"He's Chae's ex who got someone else pregnant while they were still together."
