Honestly, I don’t know.

    Even if I were to chase after Hazel and catch her, I doubt whether I would be able to stop her.

    What is the difference in power? Even if I go and grab him, I’m sure he will easily shake me off and go to the hospital. If that happens, I will lose my leg and my child.

    To solve the problem, I think it is important not to restrain Hazel, but to give her a reasonable reason not to go to the hospital.

    Only then can it be accepted with the nuance of, ‘You must not have an abortion for such and such a reasonable reason!’, rather than the nuance of ‘If you lose your mentality, it will be really hard for me, so you can’t have an abortion!’

    And ‘reasonable reasons not to have an abortion’ can be easily found by just searching the Internet Wiki.

    In this situation, it is impossible to browse the wiki leisurely.

    Right now, Hazel is walking away from me with her back to me, and staring at her phone in front of me and reading lines is not a good idea.

    “Try to stop now! I have something to say…!”

    Despite my urgent calls, Hazel did not stop walking. Maybe it’s natural. You seem to have made up your mind.

    Still, I really had to stop now. Now that Hazel is standing in front of the elevator and pressing the button, if there is a little more delay, Hazel will end up going up to the hospital.

    So I decided.

    “Fuck…!”

    First, let’s run to Hazel. Even though he threatened to cut off your legs if he came too close, if he saw you running towards him, he would stop in embarrassment.

    You may lose both legs, but… Oh no way. Are you going to cripple me with something you chased after me?

    “Huh?”

    Hazel looked at me with a bewildered expression, as if she hadn’t expected me to follow right in front of her.

    He had a disdainful look on his face, as if he was going to drag me home at any moment and cut off my legs with a saw, but I didn’t want to even try what he had already done.

    “You can raise it well…! I’m serious…!”

    “I meant what I said.”

    There must be a lot to what I just heard. Now, I have no idea what Hazel really meant when she said it.

    “Yes…?”

    “I said I would cut off my leg.”

    “Ah…”

    When I see people say, ‘I meant it when I said I would cut off my leg,’ I wonder if I made the wrong choice.

    After thinking about it, I decided not to get hysterical, but I definitely achieved everything I wanted, just like Hazel said.

    But why on earth am I holding on to Hazel, risking the risk of losing my leg?

    I don’t know if it’s just the common-sense idea that abortion is bad that’s what’s blocking Hazel, or if there’s something else that’s stopping her.

    For now, since there are more urgent problems at hand, I will have to postpone this concern until later.

    “If you return to your car before the elevator arrives, we will make it right. I’m already sensitive, so don’t get angry.”

    I thought the die had already been cast, but thanks to Hazel’s extreme patience, I was given one more die.

    But I had no intention of going back. I may not know the reason, but I have to stop it because my head tells me to stop it.

    “I don’t like it…”

    Still, Hazel’s fierce intimidation must have gone somewhere, so she couldn’t shout out confidently, and instead timidly expressed her opinion in a hushed voice.

    “If you don’t like it, just stay still. I’ve already come down to the 10th floor.”

    When Hazel saw me like that, surprisingly, she didn’t get angry at me, but just silently raised her head and looked up at the ceiling, maintaining the mindset that it was none of her business.

    “Ta, if you think about it, he’s my baby too…! Heh, Hazel arbitrarily deleting it alone would be against fairness…!”

    Anyway, nothing would change if I got rid of it now, so I had the mindset that it was up to me and listened to Hazel for everything.

    Even though it’s a hasty statement, I think it’s somewhat logical. From the beginning, Hazel and I had a relationship where equity was a thing of the past.

    “Is this because someone doesn’t know that? I’m just doing this because I’m worried about the child who won’t be able to receive love from his father after birth. I’m not doing this because I’m worried about you or me.”

    “Ah, no…”

    Honestly, I have nothing to say.

    If I think back on what kind of being I have thought of Hazel all this time, it is not so far-fetched to suspect that a child mixed with Hazel’s genes would also be treated as less than a burden to me.

    “Please don’t call me a selfish bitch for no reason. Because I want to kill you right here and now.”

    I protested, hoping to solve the problem in my own way, but it ended up only hurting Hazel’s temper even more.

    However, I had already walked to the elevator with the mindset that the odds were against me.

    The elevator has just come down to the third floor, and now I can’t get out.

    No, wait a minute, this might be a simpler problem than you think.

    All you have to do is make it impossible for them to go into the hospital on their own.

    -Ding!

    Just when I was hoping that I had finally come up with a good idea, the elevator arrived at the first basement level where we were and the door opened.

    “······I finally arrived. I don’t know anymore.”

    To be honest, I doubt if I could survive doing this, but my legs were already over the water anyway, and I decided to do everything I could.

    “I’m sorryㅡ!”

    -widely,

    In the end, to make this crazy idea come true, I reached up and grabbed the back of Hazel’s t-shirt with both hands.

    “Yes?”

    -Oh my god!

    He then pushed down with all his might, tearing Hazel’s clothes in one go and splitting them in half.

    The torn clothes were fluttering and left in my hands like freshly peeled skin, and Hazel’s upper body was exposed to a level where she could almost be arrested for public indecency, with only her bra remaining.

    “What are you doing now… Huh…!”

    Hazel was so embarrassed by the sudden exposure that she quickly covered her chest with her arms and looked at me with wide eyes as if she were resentful.

    “Car, let’s go by car…! You can’t go into the hospital with a body like this…!”

    This is what I meant. Unless you go crazy, you can’t go into the hospital wearing only a bra.

    There are no clothes in the car, so the scenario of getting dressed here and going back to the hospital is precluded.

    “······You are truly crazy, master. How easy I wish I was.”

    “Ma, it’s not easy… If you don’t do this…”

    When I actually committed, the pessimistic thought that I would lose more than just my legs dominated my mind.

    The look Hazel gave me was even bloodier than when I was suspected of having an affair with Seo Yu-chae.

    “Ah, anyway, let’s go by car…! Before people come…”

    “······I understand.”

    If we delayed a little longer, other people might come here and see us, so I quickly took Hazel with me and headed to the car.

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    First, I put Hazel in the passenger seat and took out a blanket from the trunk and covered her with it.

    Hazel stayed silent with her head down until she walked from the elevator, got into the car, and covered herself with a blanket.

    Since I couldn’t see their expressions, my inner anxiety grew, but I didn’t know what to say, so I covered them with a blanket and just sat in silence for a while.

    “I… Hazel…”

    “Don’t talk to me.”

    I called Hazel to have a conversation, but what came back to me was a harsh warning to keep my mouth shut.

    “Ah, I understand… Ah, well then…”

    I couldn’t say anything, but I remembered the almond chocolate that I had put in the glove box before, so I quickly searched the glove box.

    Fortunately, the weather was still cool, so the chocolate didn’t melt and kept its shape. I took a piece of chocolate and held it close to Hazel’s lips as she lowered her head.

    “De, eat…. It would be a waste to throw it away…”

    Then, he pushed the chocolate a little harder with the worst comment, as if he was ordering Hazel to make chocolate savory…

    My actions now felt like I was force-feeding chocolate rather than encouraging it, but I still had to feed it this chocolate because I thought it would make me feel better to eat something sweet.

    To be honest, I don’t know if it will be effective or not, but I guess I should give it a try first.

    Fortunately, Hazel took the chocolate I offered her and put it in her mouth. I felt relieved and took my hand away, but Hazel just held the chocolate in her mouth and didn’t really chew it.

    “It’s not expensive… Yes, it tastes good… Best-selling chocolate, that’s what it feels like…”

    “······”

    I kept talking to Hazel about chocolate to lighten the mood, but Hazel was already so deep in anger that she couldn’t escape and showed no sign of opening her mouth.

    “Oh, or should we go eat some other dessert? Oh, if I buy clothes again…”

    “Why on earth are you doing this to me…”

    Hazel finally opened her mouth, but her voice was shaky and unstable, as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.

    “ calm down first and talk again…”

    “A disgusting bitch to the point where I want to get away right away. And you said you would erase her because you are that bitch’s daughter, but why are you making it difficult for me now with your hypocrisy?”

    Hazel, who continued speaking, seemed to have no intention of hiding her tears anymore, and slowly raised her hand and wiped away the flowing tears with the back of her hand.

    “Not hypocrisy…! Well, it’s just my baby…”

    “Ha···. So, I’m asking because you said you thought you were the father. So, have you ever thought about what your name will be?”

    Of course, I had never thought about Taemyeong when the question suddenly came to my mind. There was no such thing as naming a name in the solution presented by Seo Yu-chae.

    “Of course…!”

    Fuck, you shouldn’t take this for granted. Why on earth did you blurt out something like this without any countermeasures, Haon?

    “······What is it?”

    If I delay a lot of time here, it will eventually be revealed that my words were false, and all the efforts I have made so far to suppress the burden will be in vain.

    Even though it may not be original, you have to come up with a plausible name.

    “uh… Well, so…”

    I was impatient and couldn’t turn my head, so I was fiddling with the bag of chocolate and dragging the horse as if I was emotionally unstable.

    No, wait. You don’t have to think about it.

    Since my mother was named after hazelnuts, I thought of the natural but pretty good idea that the child could also continue the tree lineage with nuts.

    And the bag of almond chocolate in my hand. Without having to worry about which nut to use, here is a nut that is pretty good.

    “Ah, Amon…? Yes!”

    I didn’t have time to drag it out anymore, so I just shouted the name ‘Almond’ to Hazel.

    “······You are quite good at improvising.”
