Chapter 1

Sabrina’s POV

“Do you have any questions?” my OB asked at my 32-week pregnancy appointment. She had just discovered that my unborn daughter was breech and that they may have to do a C-section to deliver her.

“I’m just a little disappointed,” I admitted, “because I was really looking forward to giving birth vaginally again.”

This baby will be joining my four-year-old son Logan, and he can’t wait to meet his baby sister. Their dad Spencer and I are no longer together, as we’d split about halfway through the pregnancy after a mutual agreement.

“I know, and that’s why we’ll do everything we can to make that possible. Besides, she could flip around last second – you never know! Shall I print out the sonogram for you?”

“Absolutely!”

***

When I got home after the appointment, Logan and his sitter, a college kid named Matt, were playing with his toy cars. I watched them for a minute or two, waiting for a break in the action to announce my arrival.

“Hey, Sabrina,” Matt said, standing up. Meanwhile, Logan hugged my legs, and I bent down to hug him and ruffle his hair. “How was the appointment?”

“It was good,” I said, giving Matt a ten for the hour he’d spent with Logan. “The baby is breech, but the doctor is hopeful that she’ll switch around to the correct position.”

“That’s good! Hey, Logan found this old piece of paper with Korean writing on it. Who’s Yoon-Gi?”

Matt handed me a crinkled, slightly torn piece of paper. I was confused at first, but then I remembered that this was a note that a guy named Min Yoon-Gi had passed to me back in high school one day. I’d been meaning to have it translated but never got around to it due to life getting in the way.

“Oh!” I said now as I snapped back to reality. “This is just a note I had passed to me in high school.”

“It was in a keepsake box in the back of your closet,” Matt told me. “Who was it from?”

I shrugged. “Just some guy. I would’ve had it translated a lot sooner, but then I had Logan, got pregnant again, and broke up with Spencer. Dare I ask what it said?”

Matt smiled widely. “Well, it seems he had a little crush on you! It roughly translates to, ‘You’re cute; let’s date.’”

I laughed. “You’re lying! I was nowhere near good-looking then!”

It was true. I had to wear braces all through high school, and I was a big klutz, so there was no way in hell Yoon-Gi could possibly have found me “cute”.

“No, I’m dead serious! Look, I’d better go; I have a class in about an hour.” He then crouched down to Logan’s level and said, “I’ll see you later, okay, bud? Give me knuckles!”

Logan gave Matt his knuckles, and after Matt left, Logan asked me if we could go to the lake.

“Yeah, we can do that,” I agreed. “Let’s put some sunscreen on first, though.”

“Why?” Logan asked.

“Because too much sunlight isn’t healthy for your skin, and sunscreen protects it.”

“Oh.”

After I helped Logan get his swim clothes and sunscreen on, I got ready myself, and we were out the door within the hour.

Jung-Kook’s POV

My friends in BTS and I were relaxing in our hotel room when Nam-Joon suggested we go to the lake, mentioning that there was one nearby.

“That sounds good!” Ji-Min said in Korean. He looked towards Yoon-Gi, who was playing video games on the Wii. “Shug, let’s go to the lake!”

“Nah, I’ll stay here,” Yoon-Gi mumbled, concentrating on his game. “Besides, I’m about to beat this villain!”

I watched as Yoon-Gi moved his character towards the villain, and just when he was about to attack the bad guy, I snuck up behind Yoon-Gi and shouted, “BOO!”

“Jung-Kook-ah!” Yoon-Gi complained as his character fell to his death. “I almost had him!”

“And now you can come to the lake with us!”

Yoon-Gi sighed. “Alright, I’ll come.”

Here's chapter 2! I'd love it if you'd leave a comment!

Sabrina’s POV

“Ruby, fetch!” I prompted as I threw Ruby’s Frisbee into the lake for her to retrieve. Her tail perked up, and she leapt into the water, making a huge splash as she swam over to catch the disc. When she came back, Ruby dropped it at my feet and shook herself dry.

“Good girl!” I praised, scratching Ruby behind the ears. “Brady, would you like to try?”

Brady gladly accepted, and I got behind him and showed him how to throw the Frisbee.

“You have to flick your wrist as you’re throwing it, like this.” I demonstrated with the Frisbee in my hand. “See? Give it a whirl!”

“Okay,” Brady said, getting ready to toss the toy. When he did, it landed on the ground, rolled around a few times, and fell flat.

I saw Brady’s sad expression and said, “It’s okay – you can try again!” I picked up the Frisbee and demonstrated again. “This time, throw it a little bit harder.”

Brady seemed to finally get it and tossed the Frisbee exactly how I showed him. The disc flew through the air, causing Ruby to chase after it. Before I knew it, she was out of sight.

“Ruby!” I called, waddling as I went looking for her. “Ruby, get back here!”

~~~~~

Yoon-Gi’s POV

The seven of us were goofing around by the shore of the lake when I saw a dog out of the corner of my eye. It was a large dog who looked like it’d just been in the water, as its rusty red fur was wet.

“Hey, puppy,” I said in Korean as the dog approached. “Are you lost?”

“Yeah, I think it might belong to somebody,” Tae-Hyung said. “See the collar?”

The dog, who was carrying a Frisbee in its mouth, dropped the toy at my feet, sat down, and let out a whine.

“What is it, boy?” I asked. “Where’s your owner?”

Just then, I saw a heavily pregnant woman waddling in our direction, with her young son in tow. The girl was holding her back as if she were in pain.

“Hey, is this your dog?” I asked her.

“Yeah, that’s my Ruby,” the girl said, out of breath. “Thank you so much for finding her.”

“Ruby, is it?” I asked. “She’s pretty!”

“Thank you.” She looked at me for a moment and added, “You look a little familiar. You’re not from Korea, are you?”

“Yes, I’m from Daegu. Why?”

~~~~~

Sabrina’s POV

It was then that I realized my assumption had probably been right about the guy being Min Yoon-Gi.

“Is your name Min Yoon-Gi?” I asked, cocking my head to the side. “You kind of sound like an old classmate of mine by that name.”

The guy was visibly confused, as he scrunched his nose and narrowed his eyes. “Um, yes…? And you are?” he asked.

That very affirmation confirmed what I believed. “Oh, my God, you ARE that old classmate! It’s me, Sabrina!”

Yoon-Gi’s expression softened into one of pleasant surprise. “Sabrina Duffy?! What are you doing here?”

“Yes! I live here now; I moved here when I met my ex. What about you?”

“My friends and I are on tour. We’re in a band now called BTS.”

“I don’t think I’ve heard of y’all. What music do you play?”

“Korean pop, or K-pop for short. It’s a mix of pop and hip-hop; you’d really enjoy us. I’m one of the rappers.”

“Mama, I’m hungry,” Brady whined, interrupting the conversation.

“And we’ll eat when I’m done talking to these young men – okay, bud?” I said to Brady.

“But I’m hungry NOW!”

“Actually, the kid has a great idea,” the tallest of the group said in fluent English. “We’re getting hungry, ourselves. Is there a good sushi restaurant nearby?”

“There is,” I said. “It’s called House of Osaka, and it’s actually a short drive from here. Let’s meet there after my son and I change clothes.”

“That sounds good,” Yoon-Gi agreed, looking at his watch. “How about 6:30?”

“It’s a date!”

 

[ChiaraStar169]

Note: I mention NCT and some of its sub-units here, but idk their timeline exactly (or even if they debuted before 2015 lol), so if you must correct me, please be kind. lol

Anyway, hope you enjoy, and feel free to comment!

Chapter 3

“You guys sing and rap, right?” I asked over the meal. I had ordered some California rolls to share with Brady, and all seven guys got their own entrees. While we waited for the food to arrive, Yoon-Gi had introduced the others as Kim Nam-Joon, Kim Seok-Jin, Jung Ho-Seok, Park Ji-Min, Kim Tae-Hyung, and Jeon Jung-Kook.

“Uh-huh!” Ho-Seok affirmed. “The rappers are me, Nam-Joon, and Yoon-Gi; the other four are our vocalists.”

“Oh, that’s neat! I’m still trying to wrap my mind around that there are seven of y’all. Is that normal in K-pop groups?”

“Yes,” Ji-Min said. “There are smaller groups with four or five members, but usually there are at least seven. In fact, the largest active group, called NCT, has 20 members.”

My eyes widened. “Oh, wow! How do they remember who’s who?”

“Sub-units,” Tae-Hyung answered, using chopsticks to lift his sushi and take a bite. “Right now, there’s NCT U, NCT 127, and NCT Dream, but they plan on adding more members and units in the future.”

“I’ve been wondering,” Yoon-Gi said over our meal, “did you ever have that note translated? You know… the one I gave you in high school?”

I smiled and laughed. “You know, I was just about to bring that up, because I literally just did it today. Did you really think I was cute then?”

“Yes, I did; it seems you still are now, too.”

This statement caught me by surprise, considering that he hardly ever gave me the time of day other than the note.

“Really?” I asked in disbelief. “I thought for sure I was out of your league?”

“Not really… I just never got up the courage to ask you out, and by the time I did, you had to move away.”

Just then, I seemed to feel a strong uterine contraction, my second contraction in ten minutes.

“Are you okay?” Yoon-Gi asked with concern in his voice. “You look like you’re in pain.”

“It’s just a contraction,” I said. “I’d only need to go to the hospital if they were five minutes or less apart, and it’s been ten minutes since the last one.”

“Are you sure?” Nam-Joon asked. “My mom works in labor and delivery, and you never know with contraction timing.”

Brady gasped and pointed down at the seat. “Mama, you’re peeing!” he shouted loud enough for the whole dining room to hear. As a result, several people stared at us. I looked down, too, and realized that my water had broken.

“Holy crap, my water broke!” I exclaimed. “And Brady, don’t shout like that; that’s extremely embarrassing.”

“Do you want me to call 911, ma’am?” a passing waiter asked.

I was about to decline, because I was really enjoying my dinner, when another contraction came on, stronger than the last one.

The waiter stared in an awkward silence before saying, “Yeah… I’m calling you an ambulance. My girlfriend was exactly like that when she went into labor with our son.”

“Yeah, I don’t think you want to give birth in the middle of a restaurant, anyway,” Nam-Joon said. “Good luck with the delivery, by the way!”

“Thank you,” I breathed, clutching my belly.

***

Upon arrival at the hospital, I was immediately admitted into labor and delivery, where it was discovered that I was already eight centimeters dilated. Luckily, they also found out that Rowan had switched over to the correct position for vaginal delivery.

“Are you ready?” Dr. Gupta asked when it came time to push. By this time, Spencer had joined me. I didn’t mind this at all, since I knew he wanted to meet Rowan on her first day.

“I don’t know,” I said. “This is my first unmedicated birth, so I’m not sure how much pain I’ll be in.”

“It’ll be fine, Sab,” Spencer reassured me, squeezing my hand. “I’ll be holding your hand the whole time.”

“And a really good suggestion is focusing on an object in the room as you deliver,” Brenda, the delivery nurse, pointed out. “That should take your mind off the pain of giving birth, and you’ll have little Miss Rowan in your arms before you know it!”

“Yeah, I guess you have a point. Here goes nothing!”

Thankfully, I only had to push seven or eight times before Rowan was out and crying her lungs out.

“Here is your beautiful baby girl!” Dr. Gupta announced as she placed Rowan on my chest and cleaned her off with a towel. “Congratulations, guys!”

“I can’t believe I have a little girl now,” Spencer said, stroking Rowan’s auburn hair. “I’m going to spoil her so much whenever I have the kids!”

I laughed. “You would.” Then, I glanced at Rowan, who appeared to have Spencer’s nose and mouth and my eyes. “She kind of looks like you, too.”

“She does, doesn’t she?” Spencer agreed, picking her up and rocking her back and forth. “Hi, Ro-Ro; I’m your daddy, and I’m going to spoil you rotten!”

“And you also have a big brother to look up to,” I added.

When Spencer gave Rowan back, I handed her to Dr. Gupta so she could get weighed, measured, and checked up on.

“Any chance we can get back together?” Spencer asked me.

I laughed and playfully punched him. “You already have a new date, silly! Besides, even if you didn’t, I’ve already found somebody new.”

Spencer is currently dating a girl named Colleen, whom he’d met during an interaction at his work. I’ve never met her before, but from what Spencer has told me, she seems nice.

Spencer raised an eyebrow. “Oh? What’s his name?”

“Min Yoon-Gi; I actually just met him today at the lake. He’s Korean, and so are his fellow bandmates.”

“So, he’s in a band?”

“Yep! It’s a seven-member K-pop group called BTS. He seems to be super-sweet, and not to mention attractive.”

“That’s nice. Well, I guess both of us can be happy for each other – that is, if you’re happy for me like I am for you.”

“Oh, absolutely!”

Chapter 4

Spencer spent the night with me and Rowan, leaving the next morning to pick Colleen up for their breakfast date. Soon after he left, I was rejoined by my sister Claudia, who was holding Brady on her hip and was being followed by my nephew and two nieces. Claudia is four years older than I am, and two of her kids are older than Brady. Taylor is nine, Amelia just turned six, and Jackson is the youngest at two.

“Hi, I heard somebody had a baby last night!” Claudia remarked. “Congrats, sis!”

“Thank you,” I said, lifting Rowan off of my boob to burp her. “Would you like to hold her? This is Rowan Grace Vincent.”

“Sure!” When Rowan was all done burping, I handed her off to Claudia, who gasped with delight.

“Oh, my God, she’s Spencer’s mini-me!” she commented. “Welcome, Rowan! I’m your Auntie Claudia.”

“Ooh, let me see her!” Amelia requested. Claudia bent down so she could see, and she kissed Rowan on the forehead.

“That was sweet of you, Amelia,” I complimented, pulling a curious Brady up onto my lap. “Do you want to meet your baby sister, bug?”

“Yeah!” Brady cheered.

Claudia gave Rowan back, and I showed Brady how to hold her. “Hold your arms out and be very gentle when you hold her.” Brady complied. “Do you remember what her name is?”

“Mmm…” Brady mumbled as he gathered his thoughts. “Rowan!”

“Yeah, that’s right! Her full name is Rowan Grace Vincent.”

“Are we keeping her?” Brady asked.

I giggled. “Yes, we have to – she’s part of the family now.”

“Oh, okay. Can she sleep in my room?”

I shook my head no. “I’m afraid not, honey. She’s sleeping in my room until her nursery is ready. But listen – you’re going to have to start sharing your toys, okay? And also, Mommy’s not going to be able to give you all of her attention anymore – some of it will go to sissy now.”

“Why?”

“Because that’s just how things work when there’s more than one kid in the house. But guess what? I love you!”

“I love you,” Brady returned, leaning in for a cuddle.

***

Rowan and I were released that afternoon, and Claudia was the one who drove me home. On the way there, I called Yoon-Gi on the number he’d given me during the short wait for the ambulance.

“Annyeong, Sabrina?” Yoon-Gi answered.

I paused for a moment. “I’m sorry?”

Yoon-Gi laughed. “Annyeong just Korean for ‘hello’.”

“Oh, yeah – of course. So, my baby’s here!”

“Congratulations! What is his name?”

“Thank you! It’s a girl, and her name is Rowan. My son was excited to meet her, but I have a feeling he’ll develop some jealousy towards her, because he looked pretty said when I told him about having to share my attention with his baby sister.”

“He probably will. I was a little jealous when my younger brother was born, but I got used to it within a month or so. Are you on your way home?”

“Yep! I’m probably just going to stay home for the next couple of days, but I bounce back from giving birth rather quickly; that was the case when I had my son.”

“And what’s your son’s name again? Brody?”

“It’s Brady,” I reminded him. “Thank you for checking up on me; that was kind of you.”

“It was my pleasure! Say, we have our next concert in Rosemont on Friday night, and we still have two tickets to sell. Would you like them? They’re front row seats.”

“Let me think about that really quick.” I took a moment to consider this; since the concert was Friday night, that would definitely give me time to check them out. Sure, I’d have to find a sitter for Brady since Matt has a class on Friday nights, but then I’d also get to see Yoon-Gi perform for the first time.

“Sabrina?” Yoon-Gi asked after apparently too long of a pause.

“Yeah, I’m still here,” I said. “I was just thinking about how I’m going to find Brady a sitter; his usual one has a class on Friday nights.” I took another brief pause. “Of course, I could have my mom watch him… okay, I’ll take the tickets.”

“Awesome! I’ll go ahead and put them on will-call for you; I can’t wait to see you again!”

“Me either.”

 

[ChiaraStar169]

Just a note: I changed Brady's name to Hunter and the baby's name to Kylie. I came to realize my eyes kept mixing up Ruby and Rowan. lol

 

[ChiaraStar169]

Oh, and another thing - I decided to make Claudia Sabrina's best friend instead of her sister, and instead of a sister, I gave Sabrina a brother named Eli and a sister-in-law named Alyssa.

 

[ChiaraStar169]

Aaaaaaaand chapter 5!

Chapter 5

An hour later, I was resting on the couch and watching TV with Hunter when the doorbell rang. Eli was the one to answer the door, and in came my best friend Claudia with a gift bag in her hand.

“Auntie Claudia!” Hunter exclaimed, hugging Claudia’s legs.

“Hey, pumpkin!” Claudia greeted. “Are you excited about being a big brother now?”

Instead of answering, Hunter climbed back onto the couch and snuggled with me.

“He’s getting jealous of Kylie already,” I explained. “What’s in the bag?”

“Open it!” Claudia urged, giving me the gift bag. I opened it to reveal an adorable pink onesie with strawberries on it. It also came with a matching skullcap.

“Ooh, pretty!” I marveled. “Thank you, Claudia!”

“You’re welcome, and congratulations!”

I thanked her again, and she asked me about “the guy I met at the lake”.

“Well, it wasn’t really our first time seeing each other,” I said, “but his name is Min Yoon-Gi; he was an old classmate of mine.”

“That’s awesome! What was he doing here in Crystal Lake?”

“He’s in a group now, apparently, and they have a show on Friday night in Rosemont. Speaking of which, Yoon-Gi offered me a pair of tickets; do you want to come with me?”

Claudia laughed. “Does a bear fart in the woods?! Of course, I’ll join you! What’s the band called?”

“BTS – they do Korean pop.”

Claudia seemed to have a lightbulb moment. “You know what, that name sounds oddly familiar. Are they the group with a member with the stage name Suga?”

“Yeah, that’s the one – in fact, Suga is Yoon-Gi’s stage name! Are you a fan?”

“I’ve heard a couple of their songs. You’ll really like them – they do an equal amount each of rapping and singing.”

***

On Friday, Claudia picked me up at five for the concert. On the way there, we grabbed a bite to eat at Taco Bell, getting us to the arena by the time the doors were to open at 6:30.

“Hi, we’re with the band,” I told the ticket checker. “I’m friends with Suga, and he’s put my tickets on will-call.”

The young man, who was probably late twenties or early thirties, perused the papers on his clipboard before speaking up. “Sabrina Duffy?” he addressed me.

“That’s me!”

“Oh, good,” he said, checking our purses. “You have no idea how many fans we get saying they’re with the band when they’re really not.”

The three of us laughed together as the guy let us through.

When Claudia and I got backstage, I heard the guys freestyle rapping in the distance. Of course, it was all in Korean so we couldn’t understand a word, but from the tone of it, it sounded like they were making pretend jabs at each other. When they finished up ten minutes later, Yoon-Gi noticed me as they passed us on the way to their dressing room.

“Annyeong, Sabrina,” he greeted, bowing before me and Claudia. “How long have you been here?”

“Annyeong,” I repeated with a smile. “We got here about ten minutes ago; y’all are talented rappers!”

“Thank you.” Yoon-Gi glanced at Kylie, who was asleep in her carrier, and added, “That is your daughter? Er… Kayla, yes? She has your head shape.”

“Kylie,” I corrected. “People are saying she looks more like her daddy, but thanks.” I gestured towards Claudia. “This is my friend Claudia, by the way.”

Just then, we were joined by a curious Nam-Joon, who greeted us and bowed before us. He then asked who I had with me.

“Hey, Nam-Joon!” I greeted back. “I brought my friend Claudia with me; she says she’s a fan. Claudia, this is Kim Nam-Joon.”

~~~~~

Nam-Joon’s POV

I took a good, long look at Claudia to take in her appearance. She was a little taller than Sabrina and had long, dark brown hair and eyes like two pieces of chocolate. And don’t get me started on her dazzling smile!

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Claudia,” I said after Sabrina introduced her. “I like your smile.”

Claudia giggled and blushed. “Thanks; I’m flattered,” she said. “And your English is spot-on; are you fluent?”

“Yes! I taught myself, actually – have you ever seen the sitcom ‘Friends’?”

“No, we haven’t,” Sabrina chimed in. “We were too young for it when it came out.”

“Yeah, she’s right,” Claudia agreed. “We’ve heard of it, though – is it really that good?”

“It is,” I confirmed. “In fact, why don’t you and I chill at our hotel and watch reruns?”

“That sounds like a good idea. Where are y’all staying?”

I gave Claudia the address to our hotel and our room number, and then I looked at my watch to discover that it was time to do final rehearsals for tonight’s show. “I think we’d better head to rehearsals. I’ll be looking forward to seeing you, Claudia.”

“Me, too,” she said, flashing that smile again and melting my heart.

 

[ChiaraStar169]

Hey, guys! Remember this? lol you probably don't, but whatevs. Anyway, I've since changed some parts of the story (nixed some scenes, added more, all that good stuff lol), so I'm going to restart this in a brand-new thread! (also not me having left this collecting dust for over six months...)
