I've Been Possessed, But What If I Get Pregnant First? - C114
#114
As soon as I woke up in the morning, I hurriedly prepared to go to the hospital. Thinking of staying until my hyung woke up, I packed various items and my bag became full. As I left the room with the heavy bag, Uncle Taesik took my luggage.
“Wouldn’t it be better to rest a bit more, Madam?”
“No, I’d rather go and be there.”
The uncle seemed worried that I was going to the hospital from such an early hour when the sun hadn’t fully risen. But even if I stayed home, resting wasn’t really resting. I still hadn’t received news from Uncle Junseok that my hyung had woken up.
If my hyung had woken up, Uncle would surely have contacted me first.
I arrived at the hospital after driving through the hazy fog that had settled. The hospital in the early dawn was eerily quiet. Perhaps because it had rained all night, the weather was chilly despite it being summer. As I pulled my cardigan tighter and walked inside, Uncle Junseok, who had been by my hyung’s side all night, rose from his seat.
“You’ve come, Madam.”
“Yes. How is my hyung…?”
“His blood pressure and BPM have stabilized now, and I heard there won’t be any other issues once he regains consciousness. He’s an Alpha, after all. You don’t need to worry about his recovery.”
My heart lightened at the uncle’s words. Letting out a sigh of relief, I spoke to the uncle who had become gaunt overnight.
“I’ll stay by his side now. You look like you haven’t slept at all, please go home and rest.”
“This is nothing. In the past, I used to work for three days and nights straight and still be fine.”
“That was in the past, wasn’t it?”
“Haha. That’s true, isn’t it?”
We laughed, pretending to be okay for each other’s sake. In the end, I decided to sit with the uncle in the waiting room to wait for my hyung. The uncle suggested I get an obstetrics check-up since I was at the hospital, but I said I’d see my hyung first as the visiting hours were about to start.
“ICU visiting hours will now begin.”
I sprang up at the nurse’s words. After a long wait, it was time to see my hyung. I changed into the protective gear the nurse provided, went through disinfection, and entered the ICU. I saw my hyung’s face, eyes closed, attached to various machines and a ventilator.
“Hyung…”
Tears burst out as if my heart was crumbling. I rubbed my eyes, trying to take in his image for as long as possible.
“Hu, hic. Hyung…. Taebeom…”
“……”
“Huu… hu….”
The harsh mechanical sounds overlapped with my hyung’s breathing. His breath fogged up the ventilator. I lifted his limp hand and sobbed.
“Hyung… wake up. Hic, it’s all my fault…”
It seemed like he might open his eyes at any moment and gently tell me not to bite my lip, but his hand didn’t move. Clear tears fell onto the back of his hand at this unfamiliar sight of him. I held his hand tightly with both of mine and pleaded with a voice full of tears.
“I was wrong…. I, hic, I like you too, hyung…. No, I love you….”
Why had I been so stingy with saying I loved him all this time? Tears of regret wouldn’t stop. I tightly hugged the hand that had always reached out to me first and kissed it preciously. Just as he had done to me.
“I love you. I truly love you….”
“……”
“I won’t do it anymore, I won’t say let’s break up…. Hic, I’ll stay by your side for life. Let’s do that now…. I love you, hyung.”
As I was about to lift my head after kissing his hand, a familiar touch gently caressed my cheek. Tap tap. Tears poured out at the slow, stroking touch.
The slowly moving fingers wiped my eyes and then fell away. I slowly turned my gaze following that hand. Beyond the retreating hand was Kwon Taebeom, with his eyes open.
“Hyung…”
“…Don’t… cry.”
“Hic, Taebeom…”
“I love you… Yuwon.”
With those words, he closed his eyes again after struggling to open them. Fearing this sight of him might disappear like a mirage, I urgently grasped his hand, but he didn’t wake up again.
Two days after he had regained consciousness like that. He opened his eyes again.
“Hyung, are you really not hurting anywhere?”
“No.”
The recovery power of an Alpha was incredible. In just one week, my hyung had moved from the ICU to a regular room and was able to take light walks and move around. His appetite was enormous, to the point where you couldn’t tell he was a gunshot victim.
Thanks to that, the kitchen manager uncle had been very busy going back and forth between the main house and the hospital, preparing meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
“I think Ho-ppang takes after you, hyung.”
“Why?”
My hyung gently caressed my cheek as he asked. I laughed softly at the pleasant tickle and hugged his neck first.
“Ho-ppang’s growth rate is amazing. I already knew that male omega babies grow incredibly fast after 20 weeks, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent.”
“…It must be hard.”
I didn’t mean it that way, but my hyung’s voice was tinged with worry. He really doesn’t care about his own body at all, but is so incredibly careful with mine.
Still, feeling not bad about it, I lifted my head and pressed my lips to his forehead.
Chu-
“Yuwon?”
“It’s more thrilling than difficult. It means there’s not much time left until our Ho-ppang comes out.”
My hyung’s eyes widened a bit, perhaps surprised by my sudden skinship. After confirming our feelings for each other, I had no reservations. I felt like, he’s my husband and he’s mine anyway, so what does it matter?
Chu-
“What? Are you excited too, hyung?”
“Yes. I’m excited. I’m excited about all the days I’ll spend with you from now on.”
My hyung’s eyes curved gently as he watched me smile playfully. I stared at that gentle smile and slowly closed my eyes. Soft flesh touched my lips. I willingly accepted the flesh that slowly parted my lips and entered.
It felt like my hyung’s hot breath was coloring me all over.
***
Only after three weeks in the hospital was my hyung allowed to be discharged. It must have been quite difficult staying in the hospital all that time, as he started the discharge procedures early in the morning when told he could leave.
“Hyung, are you that happy to go home?”
I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of him moving busily like an excited child. Well, he must have felt cooped up after being in the hospital for almost a month.
When we came to the hospital, it was the end of summer, but autumn had already arrived. It was still a bit too warm to call it autumn, but the air was quite chilly in the mornings and evenings.
“Yes. We agreed to go on a trip, remember?”
My hyung smiled as he interlaced his fingers with mine. I nodded vigorously, holding his hand back. When he had recovered somewhat, we had agreed to go on a trip together after he was discharged. I thought he might have forgotten since he mentioned it casually, but it seems he remembered everything.
“Are we going with you too?”
“Why would you come along?”
Uncle Junseok, who had entered the room while we were sitting side by side giggling, asked playfully. Despite my hyung’s rebuke, the uncle picked up the bag he had set down and smiled.
“It would be nice to have an autumn outing together. Don’t you think so, Madam?”
“Hmm… That does sound really good! If we all go together, it’ll be bustling and fun, and we could get closer!”
When I nodded in agreement with Uncle Junseok’s words seeking my approval, my hyung tugged at my hand. Despite my hyung poking the back of my hand repeatedly, I couldn’t shake the thought that it would be nice to go on a trip with the uncles.
“Hyung. What if we really all go together with the uncles? Every time we ran awa… um, well, we’ve never gone on a trip together, right?”
“Why would you go on a trip with them? No way.”
“We could go together, we’re family after all!”
As I kept pestering him, my hyung furrowed his brow and took the luggage from Uncle Junseok’s hand. Wondering what he was doing all of a sudden, Uncle Junseok and I looked at him as he spoke with a firm expression.
“I’m going to make them all move out.”
“What?”
“What?”
With that sudden declaration of making them move out, Uncle and I took a step back, and the autumn outing was forgotten. After finishing the discharge in an awkward atmosphere and returning home, I burst into laughter.
“You’re such a jealous person.”
“What?”
“Did you want to go on a trip alone with me that badly~~?”
My voice rose without me realizing it. Really, Kwon Taebeom, you’re so cute I could die.
But still, why suddenly make the well-behaved uncles move out? Your jealousy scale is really off the charts.
As I chuckled to myself, my hyung twitched his eyebrows with a strange expression. Oh my, how cute. Now even that face just seemed cute and lovable to me.
I hugged my hyung tightly again and kissed his lips repeatedly, and he reluctantly softened his stern expression. Even so, he couldn’t hide the smile forming at the corners of his mouth. As I pulled my lips away, he stroked my hair.
“Should we get rid of your room?”
It was a sudden suggestion, but I nodded. I wouldn’t need that room anymore. The time I spent holed up in there, making things difficult for my hyung, seemed such a waste now. I turned my head, feeling embarrassed.
“Yuwon.”
But his gentle voice tickled my ear, making me look at him again.
“About that incident…”
“……”
Between us, there was only one thing that could be referred to as ‘that incident’.
