Dingdong! Dingdong! 

What the hell? This is the kind of sound from a doorbell you can find in an anime. Who has a doorbell like this? Apparently, Jin does. Wait. Don't get sidetracked, Rei. All right. Come on, Jin. Answer the door. Come on. Come on. Come on!

"Who are you?" 

I flinch at the question. Jeez. Don't sneak up on me. As I turn around, I come face-to-face with a taller version of Jin. Shit. 

I don't see him for a few weeks and when I see him, he's the five inches taller than me. 

I breathe out and I notice his frown. Oh yeah. If he asked who I was, this man couldn't be Jin. Must be his older brother. Man. Is he beautiful as well. But, that's funny. I don't feel anything funny going on inside of me. Yet another proof showing my love for the raven-haired beauty. Oh, Jin.

"Sorry. I'm Rei. And I'm looking for Jin. Is he at home?" I ask, sweating heavily under my clothes and still keeping my face void of emotions. God. This man can make me want to pee in my pants. Shun did a good job of warning me about his brother. I'm sure as hell ain't screwing up anything.

He looks at me. I'm guessing he's assessing me or something. I hope I pass. I wouldn't want him to be an obstacle between me and Jin. I cough to catch his attention and he looks away. Then, he entered the house leaving the door open. Taking this as a good sign, I follow him inside.

Wow. 

Who knew they'd be this rich? I can't explain what the furnishing looks like. I'll just tell you that this house is the kind where kings used to live in. I walk into the receiving area, I think it's called. He takes a seat and motions me to sit as well. Okay. This is the 'DADDY TALK', I presume. Get ready to hide your balls, Rei.

"What do you want with my brother?" He asks once I had taken my seat. 

"I want a moment with him. Just enough time to fix whatever relationship we have, it it still can be saved." I answer with a serious face. I've got to be honest with him. Let him see my sincerity.

"Why?" 

Shit. 

I didn't want to delve into details without talking to Jin first. I'd want to break this 'I'm-in-love-with-you' news to the man, himself, and not the brother. I look him in the eyes and I sigh.

He's not going to let me see him if I don't pass his test.

"No answer?" That's when I realized I had been thinking too long. He stood up from his seat and gave me a blank look before walking away. I immediately panicked. Without thinking, I stood up and spilled my soul.

"Look, I love your brother." He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at me. Breathing in, I continued. "I know I'm not worthy in your eyes. I'm not the person who should be standing next to him. I know that. But I just can't give up. Especially now that I know what my feelings for him are. Sure, we were nothing more than sex friends. And I thought it'd end there. But it didn't. Almost 11 months have passed and I'm a happy man when I'm with him. I don't want anyone to take him away from me. I only want him. My feelings are not temporary. They're not part of a phase in my life. It's the real deal. And I would do anything, and I mean ANYTHING, to make him happy." 

He looks at me, his blank expression. After that little speech, I felt my body shake violently.

"You're right. You don't deserve him. Nor do you deserve a chance to talk to him. Just let him get over you. Or are you thinking that after hurting him with your words, he'd still lay in your bed?" His voice dripping with sarcasm. His blank expression replaced with a face of disgust.

Unknowingly, I start taking deep breaths. 

He isn't making this any easier.

"That's why I'm here. To tell him that whether or not he lays in my bed, it makes no difference in what I feel for him. I'll remind him everyday that I love him. Always be by his side so that loneliness will never spend a night with him. I mean, I won't know the results if I don't at least try. Give me a chance to make your brother happy." I bow my head and as I continue, my eyes unconciously close. "Please. I'm begging you. I love him."

We stood there in silence while I kept my head down. I feel him looking at me and I raise my head. With new-found determination, I settle my gaze on his charcoal eyes. 

"Haru, who are you talking to?" My eyes quickly search for the owner of the melodious voice. "Shun called and told me that we had an important visitor." Then from the corner behind his brother, Jin appears in an over-sized shirt and sweat pants. Damn. He can still make my blood boil with desire even in the most unattractive outfit in the world. 

My eyes crinkle fondly at him while he flinched in surprise. I look at him and notice his pale skin had gotten paler. And under his beautiful eyes were ugly bags showing his lack of sleep. All in all, he was still the gorgeous man I had met almost a year ago.

"Rei? What are you doing here?" He asks as his eyes fill with tears. Haru, the brother, coughed to catch both of our attention. 

"Jin, bring him to your room. Both of you need to get this over with before making a decision that both of you could regret." With that, he walked away. I return my gaze to Jin and he looks at me with fear in his eyes as a single tear cascades down his cheek. He brings up his hand to wipe the tear and turns around. "Follow me, Rei. You need to know something." 

I follow him and enter his room, I think. All the while, my heart was beating out of control because of the oncoming confrontation. My breathing had quickened as negative thoughts swam in my head.

Rei, you don't want to lose him, right? Know your goal and fight for it. Giving up is not an option.

I turn around and blurt out the first thing on my mind. "I LOVE YOU!"

His face sporting a look of disbelief had pushed me further. "I'm sorry for what I said. I never meant any of those words. I was just jealous because you were in another man's embrace, crying. To tell you the truth, I never even knew my feelings for you were this strong and before I could tell you, I had screwed up by spouting jealousy-driven words. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me. Please give me another chance. And, please. Please fall in love with me. I'll make sure you'll never regret it. I can't promise you won't cry but I can at least promise you that I'll try not to do stuff that would make you cry. So, please fall in love with me." 

His disbelieving face turned into one of surprise. We stood there in the middle of the room, looking at each other. Then, I walked slowly toward him and took him in my arms. Seeing as he did not push me away, I tightened my hold on him. Slowly, I felt his arms wrap around my neck and he pulls me down. I feel him breathing in my ear and I shiver slightly.

"Thank you for telling me that." He whispers and I feel his smile on my ear. "You don't even need to beg for my love because I'm all ready in love with you. But, there's one thing you need to know." He slowly pushes me away. He then grabs one of my hands and placed it on his chest before dragging it down and resting it on his stomach.

"I'm pregnant."
