PRANK

Dong-Hoon exhaled a deep breath. “Ok, I can go and just check on her. I mean... she might not be feeling good right now.” he nodded his head and moved towards his door but before he could rotate the knob, a knock was heard.

Blinking his eyes in confusion he opened the door and widened his eyes with shock when Se-Young’s limping body fell on his chest.

~Earlier~

“Why am I feeling completely fine.” Se-Young asked herself looking into the mirror. “Was the medicine expired?” she wondered scratching the back of her neck.

“What should I do?” she ruffled her hair, sighing afterward, she had originally thought of letting out all her thoughts to Dong-Hoon after hearing their conversation in the kitchen and knew that the pill was going to help her taking a better decision but right now, the pill seemed to be not working for her.

“Ok, relax... take a deep breath.” she told herself, taking in a deep breath. “Let’s do this.” she nodded her head, taking her make-up kit out.

Applying a little amount of blusher, she made sure it looks somewhat real as flushed cheeks. “Ready?” she again asked herself looking into the mirror.

...

‘Coffee.... no, she is pregnant, caffeine is not good.’

‘Lime water.... but she just drank the whole glass of juice.’

‘Yogurt... yes yogurt would do.’ Tae-Hoon was thinking about what to do to make Hani get back to her senses when Hani giggled getting his attention.

“You know, you are handsome.” she said placing her index finger on his chin. Tae-Hoon blinked, baffled by his cute and shy wife’s action.

“But my husband is more handsome.” she pulled her hand away looking into nowhere, imagining her handsome husband standing in front of her eyes. Tae-Hoon’s heart fluttered when she mentioned him as ‘my husband’. He smiled scooting closer to her. “But I am your husband.” he tried to lean into her face which was hanging low, to show his face clearly.

Hani sighed childishly shaking her head. “You know I want to say something to him but I am scared.” she said ignoring Tae-Hoon’s words completely.

She was behaving as if her sense of listening had died and now, she could only talk.

A soft small sob left her mouth making Tae-Hoon worried as to what she was scared of and Se-Young's words were also running in his mind.

…

Dong-Hoon was awkwardly standing in the same position, biting his lower lip with nervousness. Se-Young made sure to hid her face in his chest so it would not be obvious that she was just acting.

Dong-Hoon cleared his throat. “Are you feeling alright?” he asked placing both of his hands on her shoulders, trying to slightly pull her away to look at her face.

Se-Young prevented him to do so by wrapping her hands around his neck making Dong-Hoon more tensed. “Se... Se-Young...” he barely let her name out when Se-Young cut him off.

“Shhhhh... Just hug.” she said, trying to make her speech slurred so that her act will not be caught.

Dong-Hoon could not help but smile. He wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her back. “Dong-Hoon, if we get together... then will you stay by my side till the end? What if you ended up leaving my side as my father did to my mother?” she asked snuggling her head in his chest.

Dong-Hoon wondered why was she acting the exact same way they wanted her to, but shrugged the thought off. “Why? Do you... like me?” Dong-Hoon asked hesitantly.

Se-Young internally sighed. ‘It’s high time, you should be honest, not only with him but with yourself as well.’ she said to herself and nodded her head, which was still intact with his chest.

He hugged her tighter. “Then you don’t need to worry, I will be there just beside you till the end. You just have to take one step and I will be all yours.” he was smiling like a fool, the woman he liked was finally saying that she had feelings for him as well.

“But you are going on... a blind date, how will you stay beside me.” she sniffed making him think that she was sobbing. “Hey! hey! hey! are you crying.” Dong-Hoon tried to pull her away again to see her face but she made her grip tighter.

“I... I am not going on a blind date. It was just... umm... just a prank.” he awkwardly said at which Se-Young was bewildered and completely forgot that she was acting to be drugged.

“Wait... what!” she exclaimed, now pulling herself away from him. She could not believe that these past few days she was stressing over a ‘PRANK’ but little did she know her own supposedly being drugged prank was getting uncovered.

Dong-Hoon tilted his head looking into her eyes, confused why she suddenly was in her senses.

...

“He does not even like me, but always is good to me. He takes care of me. But does not love me. He told me that he will be a better husband. But he is already better than others. He told me that he is grateful to have a daughter with me but what if it was a boy, would not it still be our child.” Hani was whining while sobbing like a child.

And Tae-Hoon was just listening, biting his lower lip in guilt but he was happy as well. “You tell me.” she turned her head in his direction. “If it was a boy, would it make any difference to him?” she asked still thinking that the person beside her was someone who looked like Tae-Hoon.

“No... no, it would not have made any difference to him.” he stuttered. “How would you know?” she sighed. When others were celebrating the news of a baby girl, Hani was having such thoughts in her mind and it made Tae-Hoon really guilty.

He took her hands in his. “Hani, Tae-Hoon likes you too. He told me.” he said knowing that Hani was thinking of him as someone else but she snatched her hands away from him.
