It had only been two weeks, yet the news already changed everything. Alexandra had felt faint and exhausted after work, so she went to get herself checked up just to be safe. She hadn’t expected the quiet smile from the nurse or the way her hands shook when the doctor pointed to the small flicker of life on the screen. Alexandra was pregnant. The word echoed inside her, both terrifying and beautiful. She left the office with trembling fingers, clutching the ultrasound photo and the documents the doctor handed her. They lay now on the passenger seat beside her, soft proof of the future she and her fiancé, Min Joon, had dreamed about without even knowing it had already begun.

On her way home, she dialed his number, her heart beating faster than the car’s engine. “I’ve got a surprise for you,” she whispered into the phone, her voice filled with both nerves and joy. She wanted to see his expression, the way his eyes would widen, the way his smile would break across his face when she finally told him he was going to be a father.

The night was quiet on the road until headlights flashed and you realized too late that the car in front of you was swerving. It was her. Min Joon’s ex. You tightened your grip on the wheel as she suddenly cut into your lane and then slammed the brakes. The sound of metal colliding shattered the silence and your body lurched forward, your forehead hitting hard against the steering wheel. You felt a sting, warm blood trickling down from the cut, and your vision blurred for a moment.

When you lifted your head, dazed and trembling, you saw her. She leaned forward dramatically, smashing her face into her steering wheel until blood spilled from her nose. Then she went limp, her body slumping like she had lost consciousness. The scene was staged, but she played it perfectly, every detail calculated.

You stumbled out of your car, one hand pressed to your bleeding forehead and the other gripping your side where the seatbelt had cut deep. You tried to call out, to explain, but the sound of sirens drowned your words. Min Joon arrived seconds later, his expression filled with panic as he ran toward the wreckage. His eyes landed on his fiancée , Alexandra, first. Her one hand on her forehead. He rushed to his fiancée side, hands shaking as he tried to wake her.

When you stepped forward, blood staining your temple and clothes, he turned to you only briefly. His eyes were cold, uncertain, and then they returned to her. He believed that Hyemi had caused this accident.

Min Joon: Seriously Hyemi was this your surprise?! Attempt to kill her?!
