Jeonghan Oneshot (part-1)

Jeonghan sat on his desk. Not bothering about your presence. He works on his documents . The room is spacious and luxurious. But only the sound of the papers shuffling and breathing you him and you .

You have been here for 3 hours and he didn't bother to ask you why you are here or even look at you . He ignores your entire existence.

You tried walking around the room. Leaving to get lunch but he didn't even notice your movements.

You get frustrated. So you decided to talk to him directly.

"I'm pregnant."

Jeonghan's pen came to a halt upon hearing those words, the silence in the room suddenly much heavier. He lifted his head, his face devoid of emotion as he looked up at you. He had to have heard wrong.

"Excuse me?" he asked, his voice was smooth and cool.

What do you want for dinner ?

Jeonghan's eyes narrowed slightly, the question catching him off guard. After a moment, he put his pen down and leaned back in his chair, regarding you seriously.

"That's what you're leading with after dropping that bomb?" he asked, tilting his head slightly. "I'll take a steak. Medium rare. With a side of mashed potatoes."

"Bomb ? I didn't quite understand that ?"

Jeonghan let out an exasperated sigh, realizing that this was going to be a longer conversation than he'd expected. He leaned forward slightly, resting his arms on the desk.

"Let's start at the beginning," he said, choosing his words carefully. "You said you're pregnant?"

"No I didn't "

Jeonghan's eye twitched slightly, irritation starting to show on his face. He took a deep breath to control himself.

"Please, don't play games," he said sternly. "You just said you were pregnant. Are you or aren't you?"

"What do you think ?"

Jeonghan's expression remained impassive, though his eyes narrowed even more. He leaned back in his chair again, studying you carefully. He had a feeling you were playing with him, testing him in some way.

"Honestly?" he said, his voice dripping with skepticism. "I think you're messing with me. But I'll humor you. Yes, I think you're pregnant."

"The audacity to think I'm pregnant even when we have never done it wow buddy "

Jeonghan's eyes widened slightly at the response, taken aback by your audacity. He couldn't believe what you had just said. He leaned forward in his chair again, his expression turning steely.

"Are you saying we haven't been intimate before?" he challenged, his voice dropping an octave. He was still holding out hope that this was all some kind of elaborate joke, but the seed of doubt was starting to take root.

"When were we intimate? Fr forget about being intimate or anything did you even know my existence? Or give attention for once "

Jeonghan's jaw clenched, his irritation reaching its limit. He could feel his temper starting to fray, the mask of cool indifference starting to crack.

"Oh, please," he said sarcastically. "Are you honestly trying to tell me that we've never been together? That I've never given you attention? You're really going to go there?" he paused for a moment, trying to regain his composure. "If you're going to mess with me, at least come up with a better excuse."

"Then tell me a date , time , month or any moment you spare your time for me and give me the attention as your lawful wife!"

Jeonghan's eye twitched again, the irritation in his face growing. He was getting tired of your games.

"Are you seriously going to sit there and act like we haven't spent countless hours together, like we haven't been through so much together? I've given you my time, my attention, my affection. I've done everything for you."

He leaned back in his chair, taking a deep breath to try and calm himself. "What is this really about? What kind of game are you trying to play here?"

"When jeonghan! Tell me when did you give me all that attention because as far as I remember I was always alone eating dinner alone , sleeping alone , going out alone every single thing alone I did it all alone !!"

Jeonghan's expression darkened, his patience officially running out. He stood up from his chair, the action making him tower over you.

"Is that really what you think?" he asked, his voice low and dangerous. "You seriously think I've just ignored you, left you to your own devices all this time?"

He stepped around his desk, coming to stand in front of you. "I've been there for you, in every way that matters. Maybe I haven't always been the best at expressing it, but you were never alone."

"See you are trying to Gaslight me and manipulate me like you always did . Stop lying. I have had enough of this "

Jeonghan's hands clenched into fists, his anger boiling over. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Gaslight? Manipulate?" he spat, his voice rising. "Is that really what you think I've been doing to you? After all this time, after all we've been through, you honestly think I'd deliberately try to hurt you like that?"

He shook his head, his expression hardening. "Maybe our communication hasn't always been great, but it's not like I've been trying to screw with you."

"Huh whatever . Then how many hours has it been that I'm in your office . Tell me "

Jeonghan clenched his jaw, his irritation at your accusations growing. He glanced down at his watch, his eyes narrowing.

"Almost two hours," he answered, his voice was still sharp. "What does that have to do with anything? "

"I have been here for three hours .ok ! I have gone out to get lunch and go to the washroom multiple times . You didn't even care to ask me why I came when I entered your office. Forget about asking , you didn't even look at me "

Jeonghan's expression darkened even further, realization and annoyance dawning on him. He couldn't believe he hadn't noticed you had come in, much less spent that long in his office.

"I've been busy," he protested, the excuse sounding weak even to his own ears. "I've had a lot on my mind. I didn't realize you'd been standing - sitting here for that long."

"..... Like always .... Damn weak excuses .... Fine whatever bye."

Jeonghan's irritation flared again, the guilt he was starting to feel only fueling his annoyance. He reached out and grabbed your arm, preventing you from leaving.

"Wait a damn minute," he said, his grip firm. "You can't just waltz in here, accuse me of Gaslighting you, and then leave without giving me a chance to explain myself."

"Explain what ? Weak excuses, lies , busy ? You are the boss and you can't be that busy when your co-workers are out there drinking coffee enjoying lunch chit-chat ? "

Jeonghan's expression twisted in frustration. You had a point, and he hated that you did.

"Look, I know I haven't always been the most attentive," he began, his grip loosening slightly. "But I have a lot on my plate. The company keeps me busy. You know that."

He ran a hand through his hair, his irritation slowly shifting to frustration. "I'm trying, okay? I'm trying to juggle my responsibilities as the boss and my responsibilities as your partner. It's not easy, but I'm doing my best."

"I never ask you to get full responsibility as a husband or even as a partner I never ask you to do everything for me . I just asked you to remember we are partners and give at least an hour or two when you return home and share with each other about the day . I never interfere in your business nor do I ask you to tell me what's going on inside your company "

Jeonghan's shoulders slumped, the weight of your words hitting him like a ton of bricks. You were right, and he knew it. He had been neglecting you.

"I know," he said, his voice softer now. "I know I haven't been the best partner. I've been so focused on the company, on maintaining my position, that I've forgotten to make time for you. I've taken you for granted, and that's not okay."

Jeonghan let out a heavy sigh, the weight of his guilt settling heavily in his chest. He released your arm, stepping back a little.

"You don't deserve to be ignored," he said quietly. "You don't deserve to be forgotten. I've been burying myself in work, using it as an excuse to avoid being a proper partner to you. I've been careless, and arrogant, and self-absorbed.

"Jeonghan ran a hand through his hair again, the gesture a sign of his frustration and shame. He took a step closer to you, his voice dropping a little.

"I've been an idiot," he said quietly. "I've been so focused on the company and my own ambition, that I forgot what really matters. I've been making the wrong choices, and I've been neglecting you and our relationship in the process."

"And yeah I'm fucking pregnant "
