Vixon and Zhara's Sexual Relationship and His Refusal to Take Responsibility for Her Pregnancy

Vixon and Zhara's relationship is a secret workplace affair that becomes an open conflict when Zhara becomes pregnant and Vixon refuses to acknowledge responsibility. Kazumi's discovery exposes their sexual relationship; Zhara's later account establishes that it took place in the office and that she told Vixon she was pregnant. His rejection leaves her to press her claim before Yohan, where private denial becomes a matter of public scrutiny.

A Secret Relationship at Work

Kazumi's discovery begins with sound: she hears loud moaning as she opens a door and sees Vixon with a woman. She recognizes the woman as Zhara, a worker she already considers flirtatious and ill-tempered. The scene is presented through Kazumi's shocked, contemptuous reaction, but its central revelation is clear: Vixon and Zhara are having sex in the workplace. Kazumi decides that Yohan needs to know, and later tells others that she saw the two of them together in the office.

Zhara's later explanation confirms that the office was not merely where the affair happened to be discovered. She tells Yohan that she and Vixon had sex there, then describes what followed. Her account supplies a sequence absent from Kazumi's first glimpse: after a few weeks, she began to notice signs of pregnancy, bought a pregnancy test, and received a positive result. The relationship has therefore moved from a concealed sexual encounter to an unplanned pregnancy with consequences neither participant can keep private.

Pregnancy and Refusal

Zhara tells Vixon that she is pregnant and that he is the father. His response is refusal rather than care or acknowledgment. He angrily objects that she had told him she was using birth control, says he does not care about the pregnancy, and leaves. Zhara cries and calls after him, asking him to take responsibility, but he does not turn back. The scene makes the conflict more than a disagreement over what happened: Vixon rejects both her claim and the responsibility she says follows from it, while Zhara is left pleading after he has chosen to walk away.

The story later gives Zhara the opportunity to recount these events directly to Yohan. Asked to explain Vixon's conduct, she says that they had sex in the office, that she bought a pregnancy test after noticing symptoms, and that the result was positive. She also explains that she and Vixon were both absent from work when she told him she was pregnant. She had expected him to take responsibility; instead, she says, he cursed at her and drove her away. Her account turns the earlier rejection into a stated allegation before an authority figure, rather than leaving the reader with only Vixon's angry version of their private exchange.

Exposure Before Yohan

The confrontation makes the pregnancy and the relationship matters of workplace knowledge. Yohan asks Zhara to explain what Vixon has been doing, and she answers while close to tears. Vixon, meanwhile, is asked directly whether he got her pregnant. The narrative thus places his denial beside Zhara's detailed account and the positive test she reports, making it difficult to treat the situation as mere rumor. Kazumi's earlier discovery first revealed the sexual relationship; Zhara's testimony supplies its consequences and Vixon's response to them.

The pregnancies' different stages sharpen the chronology without resolving every detail of the affair. When the two women discuss how far along they are, Zhara says her obstetrician has dated her pregnancy at nineteen weeks, while Kazumi says she is seventeen weeks pregnant. Kazumi recognizes that Zhara's pregnancy began earlier. This contrast situates Zhara's disclosure within the wider story of pregnancy and responsibility, but the exchange does not provide a more exact date for the relationship or establish any further particulars about it.

Consequences and Narrative Significance

The affair's exposure gives Zhara a chance to be heard, but it does not undo Vixon's earlier abandonment. Her account names the central breach as she understands it: after telling him that he was the father, she expected him to take responsibility and instead received anger and rejection. The narrative makes the contrast concrete through their actions—Zhara returns to the matter and explains it, while Vixon's first response is to deny concern and leave.

Vixon's later downfall forms part of the broader consequences surrounding his conduct, though the available scenes do not make his imprisonment a direct result of the affair alone. Yohan later orders that Vixon be fired after Kazumi is found bleeding and suspects Vixon hurt her; company workers call the police, and Vixon is reported jailed for two years. These later events place the affair within a larger pattern of exposure and accountability in Vixon's plot, while keeping the specific cause of his imprisonment distinct from Zhara's pregnancy claim.

The relationship also provides a pointed contrast to the story's other pregnancy plot. Zhara's pregnancy begins with a concealed workplace affair and a father who refuses responsibility; Yohan, by contrast, later explicitly accepts responsibility for Kazumi and their child. The juxtaposition does not make the two situations identical, but it makes the difference in response visible: Zhara has to bring Vixon's refusal before others, while Yohan's assumption of parental responsibility becomes an acknowledged part of his relationship with Kazumi. Through that contrast, Vixon and Zhara's affair becomes a narrative test of whether private sexual conduct will be followed by care, denial, or public accountability.
