Pregnant, Predatory

“You’re mine, so of course the baby is mine too.” I wrapped my arms around my smooth belly, which didn’t yet show any signs of pregnancy. A maternity booklet had fallen to the floor, and an ultrasound photo showing a tiny gestational sac—smaller than a fingernail—was visible. After seeing it, I turned my gaze to him. “Why should I give you the child I’m going to give birth to in pain?” “Hong Siho, you’re mine—so of course the baby is mine too.” No matter how much I pretended to be confident, I was afraid of this man. Someone I was born never able to defeat. No matter what I did, Jin Doheon was someone I could never surpass.
