The door creaked open, revealing a chilly apartment as Y/n and Jungkook returned from their honeymoon. Jungkook frowned, "The heating system isn't working?"

Y/n shivered, wrapping their arms around themselves. "Looks like it. We should get it fixed."

Just then, the living room light flickered on, the doorbell rang and they were startled to see Jungkook's mother standing there, holding bags of gifts. Jungkook's expression tightened.

"I thought I'd drop by," she announced with a wide grin, ignoring Jungkook's discomfort. "And what's this? You two didn't even tell me you were getting married! My own son!"

Jungkook exchanged a quick glance with Y/n, who looked equally taken aback.

“Can you leave?” Jungkook said.

“I want to congratulate you. I am your mother. I bought some gifts for you both,”, She exclaimed.

“No, just leave.” Jungkook said. Y/n hold his hand.

“She came here, let her atleast sit inside.” Y/n said.

“Fine, I will leave for sometime, I can't breathe in the same air as this woman.” Jungkook said.

“Come inside, sorry for not inviting you,  we wanted a small ceremony," Y/n explained.

“No, I should leave, I hope you like these gifts.” she said.

“Take them with you, I don't want anything from you,” Jungkook said.

“Jungkook, everything I own belongs to you my son.”

“I don't need anything from your husband, just leave us alone.” Jungkook said and closed the door.

Jungkook sighed as he hung up the phone, the news about their malfunctioning ondol heating system weighing heavily on his mind.

Turning to Y/n, he said, "We need to replace the ondol, but it's going to cost more than we can afford this month."

Y/n's expression mirrored his concern, aware of their tight budget. "Next month, then," she replied with a small, reassuring smile.

As the night settled in, the temperature inside their apartment began to drop. Jungkook couldn't shake off the guilt. "I'm sorry, Y/n. It's going to get colder, and we won't have proper heating."

Y/n approached him, gently placing a hand on his shoulder. "Don't apologize, Jungkook. We'll manage. We can use extra blankets, also,” she hugged him tightly. “I don't mind hugging you really tightly to stay warm.”

A genuine smile spread across Jungkook's face as he pulled her into a warm embrace. She hugged him tightly, it was truly getting really cold but she doesn't mind hugging him tightly to stay warm.

Despite the chill in the air, they become comfortable in each other's embrace and fall asleep comfortably.

On the other side, despite being warm, and in a comfortable bed. Taehyung couldn't sleep at night but was sleeping during the day except for going to work.

Taehyung groaned, his head pounding as he sat up in a disheveled room. Empty bottles littered the floor, and the air carried the scent of alcohol.

As he rubbed his temples, his gaze fell on a framed picture of Y/n on the bedside table. Memories of the previous night flooded back, and he winced at the realization of how much he had indulged in drinks.

He reached for the picture, fingers tracing Y/n's smiling face. A pang of guilt hit him as he remembered the laughter they shared and the promises made. Taehyung's eyes welled up, and he clutched the photograph to his chest, his emotions spiraling.

"Why did I let it get this far?" he whispered to himself.  Regret washed over him, and he buried his face in his hands, shoulders shaking with silent sobs.

He knows he can't live like this. He has to do something. Something or else he would go insane.

Y/n nervously clutched the pregnancy test in her hands. She took a deep breath before finding Jungkook in the living room, his expression unreadable.

"Jungkook, we need to talk," she said, her voice shaking slightly.

He looked up from his thoughts, and as Y/n spoke the words, she watched different emotions play across his face. After a long pause, he stood up.

"I need some air," he muttered, avoiding her gaze, and walked out of the house.

Y/n hurried after him, catching up as he stood outside, staring into the distance. "Jungkook, please. We can figure this out together."

He sighed, his shoulders slumping. "I never planned for this. I'm not ready for a child, Y/n. I need time."

“It's about our child, Jungkook. They deserve love, even if we're not together."

Jungkook ran a hand through his hair, "I don't want our child to struggle like I did. I want to give them everything, but I can't do that right now."

Y/n took a step closer, her voice gentle yet firm. "Luxury isn't the most important thing, Jungkook. Love is. We didn't get it from our parents. Our child needs a loving family more than anything else. We can make it work together."

He looked torn, torn between his fears and the love he felt for both Y/n and the unborn child.

He hugged her. “Yes, we will.” He kissed her forehead with a smile. “Promise me you will never leave me if I can't do enough?”

“Jungkook, of course I will not. I love you a lot.” she replied while hugging him.

"So, Taehyung, when are you planning to settle down? Find a nice girl and get married?" his father asked, a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Taehyung paused, "Actually, Dad, there is someone on my mind."

Only Y/n. He will get her no matter what.

His father's expression brightened. "Oh? That's wonderful to hear. Is she from a good family?"

Taehyung raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk dancing on his lips. "Ah, the ever-important question of social status. Does that really matter, Dad?”

His father leaned back, a touch of sternness in his tone. "Of course, it matters. We need to consider these things for the family's reputation and legacy. I didn't, and I regret it.”

Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle. “Oh you regret it? You claim to love mom, for herself , not her family name. But now it makes me wonder, if she had a strong family name attached to her name, you wouldn't have get away after ab*sing her so much.”

His father's face tightened slightly. "Ab*se? Don't you think it was her fault? It always had been her fault.”

Taehyung leaned forward, his father hadn't realized his fault till now. “Wasn't it your fault too?”

“No,”

Jungkook cradled the newborn in his arms, the joy of becoming a father radiating from him. Y/n watched with admiration, a sense of contentment settling over their little family.

He kissed the cheeks of his son. “Having him was the best decision. I love him, and I love you the most.”

Jungkook holds her chin and kisses her lips. Y/n smiled. And leaned her head on his shoulder. “He is just like you isn't he?”

Jungkook smiled, he looked at their son Junseok. And nodded his head.

Y/n saw how close Jungkook had got to him, but his paternity leave was about to end. “I was thinking to apply again, I had some really good designs.”

Y/n said she wanted to work, but some of the most well known clothing fashion brands belonged to his mother, and then Taehyung, both that Jungkook doesn't allow her to work.

“But he is too young, one of us needs to stay with him.” Jungkook said.

“I know but I got the job after so much struggle and had to leave it because of pregnancy. I want to work again.” She said,

“Okay, but let's wait for some time, I am worried about you handling it alone since I am joining work soon too.”

As days turned into weeks, Jungkook prepared to return to work after his paternity leave. He walked into the office with a newfound motivation, eager to balance his professional and family life.

However, his plans were crumbled when his boss called him into the office unexpectedly.

"Jungkook, I'm afraid I have some bad news," his boss began, looking uneasy.

Confusion flickered in Jungkook's eyes as he took a seat. "What's wrong?"

His boss sighed. "Taking extended leave so early in your career, especially as a new employee, wasn't well-received by the higher-ups. I'm sorry, but we have to let you go."

Jungkook's heart sank. "But I had permission! It was for my newborn and the company said it was okay."

His boss shook his head regretfully. "I understand your situation, Jungkook, but policies are policies. I wish there was something more I could do."

As reality set in, Jungkook couldn't fathom the sudden turn of events. He left the office feeling shock and disappointment, worried about providing for his new family.

Jungkook hesitated at the doorway,  as he prepared to break the news to Y/n. He went to see Junseok first, who just brings happiness to Jungkook, seeing his son gives Jungkook hope.

“Welcome home baby.” Y/n hugged him.

He took a deep breath before finally speaking, "Y/n, I got fired today."

Y/n looked at Jungkook. "What? Why?"

Jungkook explained the situation, the disappointment evident in his eyes. Y/n reached out, placing a reassuring hand on his. "Don't worry, Jungkook. We'll figure this out together. Maybe it's an opportunity for something new."

He managed a small smile, grateful for Y/n's support. "Thanks, love."

The next morning, Y/n was up early, dressed in her best attire for a job interview. She turned to Jungkook, who was sipping his morning coffee. "I have a job interview today. I'll find something soon, okay?"

Jungkook nodded, "I believe in you."

She smiles, “Will you be able to take care of Junseok alone?” She asked.

“Yeah, don't worry.” He looked at her. “You look beautiful.”

She smiled. “ Thank you.”

“Do you want me to drop you?” Jungkook asked.

“No, Junseok will wake up, anyways I should leave now. I will see you later.”

Y/n left the house, she went to the address where she was called for the interview, her heart was beating fast.

The job was important not just for her career but her family too. Her name was called.

As Y/n entered the interview room, she was taken aback to see Taehyung sitting across the table as one of the interviewers.

He looked at her with cold eyes, the Taehyung who always had soft eyes when he looked at Y/n in the past now was looking at her in just a way, there seems to be no kindness or love left for her.
