─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───

Taehyung bites his lips, lifting his shirt till his ribcage is exposed. The omega turns vertically to inspect the curve of his stomach, the subtle swell present in it.

A tiny gasp leaves from his lips when his hands come forward to cup it through the mirror. The curve of his belly is very subtle, barely noticeable. Barely present. The bump can easily be hidden behind an oversized shirt.

Taehyung felt a little weird because of the changes occurring in his body, the morning sickness, the soreness in his body, it all feels so weird.

The fact that he has a life growing inside him brings so many mixed emotions inside of him.

Excitement, love, a little nervousness, insecurity.

There's just so much going inside of him.

“Little bun..” Taehyung sighed, caressing his belly. Looking down at his stomach. The omega screws his eyes shut as if that'll make him feel closer to the little one growing inside.

The omega clutches his belly, “I hope you like staying inside bun, appa wants you to stay inside for as long as you can… the outer world is really cruel baby…Appa is so scared of going out bun…”

Taehyung bites his lips as a tear falls. “Please stay inside the appa bun... You're all I have.. Stay close to me”

“Be near appa... Don't leave appa like others bun... Appa wouldn't survive... You make me strong my little muffin, you love appa right?”

Taehyung caressed his belly, waiting... Waiting for something... Anything.

He sighed when he got nothing, of course he wouldn't.

The baby is still growing, still developing its main system, still developing the primary organs needed to survive. He hasn't even developed a leg to kick in the first place, so how can the little one let him know that he's listening to him.

A knock made Tae almost jump out of his skin.

He quickly wipes the silent tears from his cheeks, letting out a small coming to let his PR know that he'll be out soon

He quickly makes himself presentable, making sure to hide his bump from his oversized shirt. He gives himself a mental monologue that no matter what happens once he gets out of this door.

He wouldn't let it get to him, he wasn't the one who did it so no matter what the media says, he'll stand his ground.

With that the omega walks out, ready to face the media.

“All the money and properties officially and unofficially on my father's name would be donated to the families of the omegas who’s life my appa and his corrupt system has ruined”

Tae concluded his speech under the eyes of hundreds of cameras and mics.

Judging eyes of reporters.

He has never been the type who had problems on being watched under the lens of cameras.

He's a famous photographer himself, has been interviewed countless of times.

He's used to cameras and flashing lights.

But today, he's not. He feels suffocated in this place.

The flashing lights and constant shutter of the camera squeezes his neck till it becomes hard to breathe.

They are something he is used to but now, now he doesn't feel like it because he knows why they are here.

To find more dirt on their family, to drag Tae in the disgusting acts his father has committed.

After his father has died, which was 3 months ago.

Lots of illegal work done by his father had came to light, money laundering, stealing money from the reserve bank of their country

There were lots of things which his father did,

One of them stood out the most. One that made even Taehyung feel disgusted by his father.

Omega trafficking.

There's no accurate data but it's said that about 10k omegas were kidnapped with the very intention of selling them from the time his father was in power.

And it makes Taehyung wonder if Jungkook even deserves the hate he felt over the alpha killing his father.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if Jungkook deserves the hate or not, because he's gone.

Disappeared, left.

Taehyung could rat him out, could let the police know who the killer was but he didn't have the energy to, he doesn't think he can face the alpha again.

Plus, the public would probably worship the very ground he walks in since technically the alpha saved thousands of the omegas.

So Taehyung kept his mouth shut despite knowing who the culprit was, maybe he was Bullshitting.

Maybe he just didn't wanted his future child to know that his father was in jail, he was a murderer. Maybe Taehyung wanted to save his son from that side.

So yeah, whatever. It doesn't matter.

“Are you trying to pay for all the lives you took?? Is that how you think of omegas, Mr. Kim” Taehyung's eyes hardened as he gripped the edge of the wooden mic stand.

You, not your father.

“No questions plea—”

“My /father/, not me. I'm an omega myself, the last thing I'll do is have a hand in such a disgusting act against my own kind. I'm not paying for their lives, I'm doing it because it's the least I can do”

Taehyung smiles politely, though he could feel the Fakeness of it.

“Yes, Mr. Kim. But you lived on your father's money which came from this so aren't you a culprit as well?” Taehyung had such a big urge to roll his eyes at the stupid logic.

But he held it in.

Speak politely and only when you absolutely need to, the media will chew and twist everything you do and say.

That's what his PR said so the omega kept it in.

“Do you smoke cigarettes?” He eyes the packet in the reporters pocket.

When the reporters stiffened and Taehyung smiled.

“My deepest apology for the personal questions but you see, sir. God forbids but if by any chance you get cancer, your children shouldn't be blamed for it, should they? It's the same. What my father did is not my fault”

“And I hope our public remembers that as well. Me or my family shouldn't be held accountable for the ill acts my father did. Now that it is clear, I appreciate you all for coming here now please permission to...” He trailed off before turning and taking a leave.

He ignores the loud shout coming from the reporters.

His PR runs behind him. “That was a nice way to deal with the question, Taehyung. Good, very good. You adding the fact you yourself are an—”

The omega nodded to whatever she said though he wasn't listening a single shit.

His mind was occupied by something else as he walked down the stairs in a rush, wanting to get out of the parliament House as soon as he could.

The place suffocated him beyond words.

He was too busy thinking about everything that he didn't realised when his foot slipped and—

“NOOOOO” Taehyung screamed as he jolted up.

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as his hands flew up to his belly.

The omega gasped which was close to a sigh of relief when he realized it was just a dream.

Not the reality, not the repetition of his past. The omega fell back on the bed, curling himself in a ball as his hands wrapped around his belly.

Why now? Why that nightmare, why reminding him of that day after all these years. Why a fucking nightmare after all these years.

That day.. It was the worst day of his pregnancy period. One second he was walking down the stairs and the next, he was on the floor. Falling down the stairs, a pool of blood wrapped around him as the concrete cement dug into his stomach.

He was so scared, so scared. The omega clutched on his belly the whole time he was escorted to the hospital. He had Almost lost eunie, almost had gone through a miscarriage with how hard his stomach was hurting.

It still pains him to think about that day, what would he have done if he had really lost Eunie?? In those 4 months the little one had managed to gather every single piece of his broken heart and glue it all together. The little alpha had become his only hope, the only thing which kept him alive, to look forward in life.

He can go as far as saying he was only living for the little life growing inside of him.

Tears rolled down his eyes, it's scary how he can still feel the pain that his body felt, how he could feel the dread seeping through his bones as if it was happening all over.

The omega couldn't help but cry all alone. He wanted to go and hug eunie close to his chest, silently cry against the alpha while assuring himself by his presence that it didn't happen.

To let himself know that his son is a damn fighter, he'll stay with his appa. The little boy is stronger than anyone else, Taehyung’s strength.

He wanted to hug his baby so badly.

But he couldn't.

Jungkook was sleeping next door with Eunie in his room with bam. Apparently the alpha had adopted Bam for Eunwoo, Tae didn't have issues he just didn't have the enough money it needs to have a pet and hence he didn't.

The little alpha was swooning after he came to know he could keep Bamie.

The smile that both of them shared after seeing how happy their son was, it was their own little secret. Taehyung and Jungkook still don't know how they should act around each other.

It's just… complicated.

At times it feels like They are a happy little family, they have no issues and differences between them and then at times… everything becomes so awkward, it has not even been a day and it's amusing how they are already slowly getting adjusted to this.

This, their happy little family.

But it's only when eunwoo is present, the key to their chain. When it's just the two of them, both— Okay fine Taehyung finds ways to get out of the situation.

It's awkward. The omega isn't saying he isn't open to having heartfelt conversations and talk like the two adults they are...

‘Cause Frankly, it's needed.

It's needed beyond words. They need to talk it out, just saying that Tae is ready to give a chance wouldn't mean shit Because simply, he is still hurt and he guesses so is Jungkook in his own ways.

They both need to understand each other

Their views, their way of seeing this, to understand each other.

It's highly required but the omega just doesn't know how to start it so simply he avoids it.

And he wants to keep that going, it'll come when it's needed. You don't plan heartfelt conversations, it just happens. Naturally.

Taehyung would let it happen naturally rather than forcing it. Though, it's still very fucking awkward every damn time.

Which leads him to the current situation.

The omega can't fucking go in eunwoo’s room, not like this anyway. When he is drowned in emotions and his scent is filled in the room.

After Picking Eunwoo from school Jungkook had asked if he could hang around and well, Saying no to one puppy eyes itself is so hard so how could he say no to the father son duo who have his fucking weakness on the tip of their fingers.

He agreed, The alpha played with eunie then helped him in his homework while Taehyung prepared the series of bouquets he had gotten the order of, it was helpful he wouldn't lie. Jungkook was damn helpful, he could finish his work faster than he normally did.

After the sun had set, Taehyung offered for the alpha to stay for the night, Which Jungkook accepted without any complaints.

Of course, Taehyung couldn't let him sleep on the couch, it was too small. Neither could he let him lay in the same bed as him.

At last, the alpha with a rather shy smile asked if he could sleep with eunie, cuddle with his son for the night. Taehyung didn't have the heart to say no to him.

After all, Jungkook had lost 5 years of Eun’s life, and didn't get to witness his first anything regardless of the reasons behind.

So Tae agreed.

Hence, why he couldn't go to Eunie’s bedroom.

He couldn't show up like this, Jungkook would ask questions. Eunwoo doesn't even if he wakes up finding Taehyung crying. It's as if they share a telepathy, his son just knows his father just needs his presence and his I love yous.

Taehyung cried louder, shoving his face in his pillow to muffle out the loud sound he was producing.

His body is in a twisted position and pheromones are all over the place. He was so in pain that he didn't notice when the door opened with a soft click.

“Tae..?
