I was possessed and it turned out to be a villainous sub dog?! — 6.17

Chase’s voice became unusually gentle, perhaps because he thought I was about to cry when he saw my shoulders slump a bit.

“Then, do I not have to study the video for sleep training or something?”

Chase’s face became slightly trembling as I intervened without missing a beat. But the hand that gently patted my cheek was still gentle.

“I’ll explain that to you sometime. I’ve done a lot of studying, so you…”

Chase swallowed a sigh that was half-laughing and shook his head slightly as he continued speaking.

“Just eat well and play well. That’s all a puppy can do.”

“Really? Yes!”

“…”

I guess I finally realized that I was asking for too much. I was so excited that I hugged his neck and hung on to him. Then Chase lifted me up and laughed softly as if he had no choice. His black eyelashes fluttered slightly along with the laughter.

The face that was smiling brightly at me was so bright that it seemed to be bathed in sunlight, dazzling my eyes. I felt a tingling pain inside my chest, as if it was tightening.

And the lower abdomen too…

huh?

“Leo?”

“Ouch, it hurts. My stomach, ah, ugh!”

“What’s wrong? Does your stomach hurt a lot? Suddenly?”

Chase, who was flustered and didn’t know what to do, put me on the floor and stroked my stomach in a panic. However, the pain didn’t get any better, and instead, the pain alternated between feeling like my stomach was being crushed and feeling like my lower body was being ripped apart, and I ended up groaning without realizing it.

“Ugh, ugh! I said it hurts, it hurts!”

“Hospital, should I go to the hospital? No, but why, why are you in pain?”

“What the hell? The kid is coming out, you black panther!”

Yes, I’ve never had a baby before, but this feeling was definite. As if someone were to blame for Chase’s impatient son. Yeontan was definitely starting to prepare to leave the room earlier than expected.

That was the day after I was discharged from the hospital. I was just trying to rest at home!

 

I don’t even know how time passed after that.

A pain I could never have imagined surged like a wave and covered my entire body. After a while, the pain subsided a little and I opened my eyes to see Chase, who had his hair held by me, looking down at me with a tear-stained face. I blinked my swollen eyelids with difficulty and Chase smiled and asked in a hoarse voice.

“Leo, are you awake?”

“You were crying?”

Before asking where I was and whether I was okay, the question of whether I was really crying came out first. It was because it was so strange to see Chase doing that.

“what?”

“The black panther cried…?”

“Who would cry? It would be you!”

Even though he was hoarse, he was still screaming, so I knew it was my black panther. But no matter how I looked at him, his long eyelashes were dripping with tears, and he was so unfamiliar that I felt awkward. Why on earth was he crying? Did I make his labor too hard?

Judging from the fact that he had cried so hard that his cheeks were all red, it seemed like he had given birth to a baby. Were you so touched to see him go through all the hardships of giving birth to a baby? Oh, Yeontan! Where is Yeontan?

I jumped out of bed… but I was so tired that I collapsed back down and stammered.

“But, oh, what about the baby?”

“Huh? Baby?”

“Did you have a good birth? You don’t have any pain and you have ten fingers and toes? How much do you weigh? Are you pretty? Do you look like Chase?”

“Uh, that’s…”

“They don’t look alike? Oh… That’s okay, I just want Yeontan to be healthy. But they really don’t look alike? Not at all?”

“Umm…”

Chase looked suspiciously awkward and avoided eye contact. But his complexion wasn’t dark, so it didn’t seem like a bad thing. I tilted my head to ask what was going on, and a calm, subdued voice came from above my head.

“Leoruka.”

“Oh, doctor! Did the baby come out okay? Why did Chase end up like that? Please, doctor, calm him down.”

Still, he jokingly pretended to criticize the doctor, saying. “How dare you let your junior cry like that?” He shouted at Chase, trying to emphasize to him that nothing was wrong, even though he still couldn’t feel his legs below.

“It hurt a lot, but I passed out and when I woke up, it was all over. I guess I can do this!”

But for some reason, neither Chase nor the doctor said anything. With me between them, the two exchanged awkward glances, and Chase lowered his head first.

Mr. Jeffrey looked back at me with an embarrassed expression as if he couldn’t do it.

“That’s it, Leoruka. The real pain hasn’t even started yet.”

 

“yes?”

“The baby is still in your stomach…”

“What did you say?”

That can’t be true? Then what was that excruciating pain you experienced before passing out?

When I looked up at the doctor with shaking eyes, the doctor smiled awkwardly.

“It’s about to start. You can think of this as just a preliminary battle.”

“Really, Chase? Where are you hiding the baby and spying on me?”

“I wish that were the case too…”

Chase, who had been looking out the window at the distant mountains, muttered while rubbing the back of his neck. But why was he crying alone?

“But why are you already crying and making a fuss! I thought it was all over already!”

“What, what are you talking about? When did I cry and scream? You must have cried and your vision became blurry!”

“Ha, that makes sense. Who are you framing!”

Wherever I looked, I saw someone holding onto a person who had been crying. I pointed at Chase’s swollen eyes and yelled.

“Look in the mirror and talk. You look like a burst dumpling!”

In the meantime, I was even more upset because the dumpling was so pretty. But Chase didn’t give in to my temper.

“You’re the one who burst the dumpling! And I saw it first. Don’t blame me!”

“Why are you talking like an enemy!”

“Guys, don’t fight…”

Mr. Jeffrey, who had been absentmindedly watching, suddenly interrupted and stopped us. At that time, Chase and I were noisily pointing fingers at each other.

“Ah, ugh.”

Chase suddenly clutched his stomach and slumped down. I looked at him indifferently, asking what he was doing, and unexpectedly, his expression was unusual. Not only did his face suddenly turn pale, but his smooth white forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

“What’s wrong? Does your stomach hurt?”

Even though we were fighting and screaming just a moment ago, he is still my black panther whether I like it or not. When I saw his face turn pale and tremble. I suddenly felt worried. No, I don’t mean that he is really mine, but we live together and we will raise the baby together…

“Oh, it looks like you’re starting to have real labor. I’ll move you to the delivery room now.”

“Yes? Right now?”

But then, Mr. Jeffrey, with a calm expression on his face, ordered the other staff members to move my bed. He didn’t seem to care that Chase was sick and dying. I was a little taken aback, so I asked again.

“I’m not sick at all?”

 

“Chase will be in labor now. The baby will be coming soon.”

“yes…?”

Chase, who had been shaking, holding his stomach and not being able to raise his head, suddenly raised his face at those words. His expression was as if he was wondering what I just heard.

“Am I the one who gives birth too?”

“You even gave me morning sickness, so what? Since you’re at it, why don’t you do it all the way through?”

“No, are you just going to let it slide like that?”

“I’ve told you before. In your case, there’s a high chance that you’ll have to go through surrogate labor. This is all because you told Leoruka…”

“Ouch! I’m sick, bro! Stop talking and save me!”

“…”

The doctor, who had been explaining for a while, looked down at Chase, who had started to curse, as if he was dumbfounded, and then turned his head away. Then the staff started moving my bed, but I, who had been experiencing occasional pain until just a moment ago, had completely disappeared, and I just looked back and forth between Chase and the doctor in bewilderment. What is going on?

But I couldn’t just leave Chase like that, remembering the pain I felt just a moment ago when my eyes were bleeding and I was literally about to pass out, I grabbed the hem of the doctor’s clothes and asked urgently.
