As the small gathering came to an end, Jungkook brought up a knife and popped the balloons with the tip of the iron point. Continuing on popping balloons as Minho shouted from a distance, ran up to his father and held his elbow back so he wouldn't ruin any more balloons. “NO!” Minho shouted as Jungkook set the knife over the shelf and looked down at his pup. “Minho loves the balloons! Father, please!” Minho begged and Jungkook only pulled a smirk before he grabbed the knife once more and popped the yellow balloon to his right. “NOO!”

       “What are you talking about? You don't want me to hurt the balloons?~” Jungkook teased as Minho desperately nodded his head. Just the sight of his pup's pout made the alpha start to laugh maniacally and then suddenly stab another balloon, making the loud pop sound erupt within the pup's ears. Suddenly causing Minho to flinch and deepen his pout. Just then, Jimin suddenly shoved Jungkook to the side and confiscated the knife Jungkook played around with.

       “Jungkook! If Minho said he didn't want you to pop the balloons, you don't pop them!” Jimin scolded the alpha, but he was suddenly cut off from his own laugh once Jungkook tilted his head and folded his arms to smirk at his husband so playfully. “Ah, Minho it's time for bed.” Jimin changed the topic and placed the knife down on the coffee table before scooping the pup up and into his arms.

       “Daddy's belly is big! Brothers or sisters ate too much!” Minho giggled and looked down at the omega's stomach that wasn't too big just yet. It looked rather normal so far, but Minho was able to catch each time it grew more than a week before.

        “It's not that big! It shows a little difference, but other than that… It's not as big as you say it is!” Jimin complained as Jungkook let out a cough. “Really? Ah.. Hey, where's Joo-Ho?” Jimin asked as Jungkook pointed his thumb to the back and threw it over his shoulder to point at the door.

         “He said he felt as if something was off tonight… So, he walked outside to take a good look. He's walking around the yard as we speak, but I don't want you to stress about it. Joo-Ho will be able to catch anything that he feels that's off.” Jungkook assured and the omega gazed at the door with a stare. It was the fact that he too felt that something was off. He knew it so well, but Jungkook just didn't want his omega to even grow a stress hair about it. Just because he feared or stressed over one thing, he was at risk of hurting the pups inside him if he allowed his blood pressure to rise.

          “But-” Jimin sputtered, but his alpha didn't allow him to speak any further into his sentence.

          “No. Go upstairs. There's nothing to talk about. Just know that you'll be safe, okay?” Jungkook assured and walked forward to lean in and kiss Jimin on the lips while Minho rested his head over Jimin's shoulder. “No matter what you think, don't stress about it… Okay? Think about our pups and how hurt they'll be if you keep causing your blood pressure to rise and stress over this.”

          “...I… I understand… I'll go read Minho to sleep.” Jimin assured and walked off to go read Minho to sleep. His mind was occupied on trying to toss away every little second doubt he had in his mind; just so his unborn pups wouldn't suffer through it.

          “... Minho has many toys… Uncle Hoseok bought Minho many toys!” Minho spoke out to lighten up the mood as Jimin finally pulled a smile to himself. “Minho gave some to Ju-won… Ju-won loved the toys!”

          “What about Sejin? Did you give Sejin some toys?” Jimin wondered and stepped into the bedroom for the pup that was filled with many toys and cardboards that housed the toys before Minho opened them and threw them around so carelessly.

          “Sejin said she was too old to play with toys… Sejin likes reading and playing the violin! So, Minho promised to come to Sejin's performance and soon, Sejin and Minho will play instruments together!” Minho added excitedly as the omega smiled to his pup before taking out a book to read for the night.

          Meanwhile, Jungkook rolled his hair back to gaze at the mess of gift wrapping paper, plastic cups, plastic plates and napkins with light blue frosting everywhere from the cake. “Last time I throw a party in here.” Jungkook said to himself before chuckling and beginning to pick things up. After a while into cleaning up, Joo-Ho finally stepped in with his hands occupied by holding the same box Kyunsji delivered to the mailbox. However, in their mind, Kyunsji was still behind bars like before and his little apprentice did this to torture them again.

        Jungkook turned his head to gaze at the bodyguard and gawked at the man standing with the gift in his hands. “Don't you dare say it…”

        “Kyunsji… Sent Minho money again.” Jooho whispered as Jungkook covered his face and let out a growl.

        “Joo-Ho… If you can, take that money with you to buy Jimin a taser…”

         “But, Manager Xin told me that Jimin doesn't want any weapons around Minho or himself!” Joo-Ho claimed and this made Jungkook raise his focus onto the bodyguard.

        “Whether he likes it or not, he's getting a taser to protect himself. Be quick. I'll stay here with them.” Jungkook assured and resumed picking up the mess in his living room. He was sure that Kyunsji had something planned and all he could do was prepare for it. Of course, how long was the alpha planning to wait for the very end? Whenever it may have seemed, Jungkook was ready to go up against the alpha to end it now. Not really caring if he was to then kill the man. In his book, it was all about defense and standing his ground like what he did before; long before when he discovered that day Jimin was first pregnant with Minho already growing inside.

          On the next day in the afternoon, Taehyung had bags under his eyes as he softly caressed Ju-won's hair back gently while the beta ate a seaweed rice roll. These Gimbap's were cut into small sizes so Ju-won wouldn't choke on it. Within the raw wraps of seaweed, there was rice in one layer, a diced, bright orange carrot, the yoke of the fried egg cut into the wrapped meal, steamed ground beef with a pinch of pepper over it, sesame oil to hold it together and bright yellow pickled radish to give more flavor into the meal. Ju-won smiled happily while he ate the small rolls cut into bite sizes with wooden chopsticks he practiced using on his own.

         Normally, Taehyung would smile and talk to the pup while he was eating and make him giggle, but this time… He was silent and sat there running his fingers along the boy's hair so gently. There was a chance he'd lose the pup he raised for two months now, and he alone didn't want to move on. “Sad?” The pup asked as Taehyung had to fake a smile even if he wanted to nod his head and hug the pup close. However, that smile alone gave Ju-won the wrong answer. “Happy!” The pup exclaimed as Taehyung then nodded his head to lean in and give him a kiss on the head.

          “Yes… I'm very happy…” Taehyung claimed as Ju-won giggled and stuffed his mouth with another roll he picked up with his hand this time instead of using the chopsticks. “Maybe soon… You'll learn how to use those chopsticks without me...”

            “Daddy, teach Juie!” Ju-won insisted as Taehyung gazed at how the pup tried to hold the chopsticks. The beta pitched in and helped the younger as he kept his gaze at Ju-won the whole time he tried to help. Gazing at every detail of the pup, Taehyung's smile just couldn't even fade once! He loved the pup so much, he didn't want to let the one he took care of, go off and live far from him. After two months, Taehyung grew attached, after two months, Taehyung felt like a father… After two months, he learned another definition of love and that was the unconditional love a parent could give to a child they raise or had on their own. That was the love that grew after two months.

         Yoongi eventually stepped in and fixed the collar over his turtle neck and gazed at the two at the table as always. “Taehyung, they called me and told me they'll be here soon.” Yoongi announced and the simple thought of them coming, made the beta grow nervous. “Honey, if they say they want him back… Please.. Just please don't put up a fight. They're the parents…”

      “I know that already… I know he's not ours and I can't do anything if they want him back. Stop telling me this like I'm some helpless beta that doesn't understand what it feels to let go of someone so close…” Taehyung told his husband and Ju-won caught the beta letting out a tear.

       “Sad…?” Ju-won asked as Taehyung then shook his head and hugged the pup. “Sad…” Ju-won repeated and turned his head to give Taehyung a kiss on the forehead. “Happy!”

        “I just don't want you to get upset and cry… If we lose him now, I know you'll grow sad over him. I just tell you this so you wouldn't lose your affection towards having pups. Just look at you! You lack sleep all because you fear losing him....”

        “So, if you're right? So what? I know that if he goes, I'll just want another. I won't change my mind, I promise. Being able to raise pups with you… Is something I just don't want to put an end to...” Taehyung told his beloved without even turning his gaze to face him. This made the older smile to himself and nod his head.

       “I'm sorry for overreacting… Honey, I-” Unexpectedly, there was a knock at the door and this made Yoongi quickly turn his focus to the door and sense that there was two people behind the door. Waiting for an answer. One was an omega, while the other was an alpha. This made Yoongi turn his head back to his beta and let out an exhale, showing that this was it. “I thought they were coming later on… I guess they got here early.” Yoongi whispered as Taehyung stood up and adjusted the hem of his shirt to gaze at the door. By there, Taehyung scooped the pup into his arms and went over to the couch to sit. So far, he was nervous and somewhat angry to know that the parents abandoned their pup for two whole months! He was just ready to hear their excuse.

          Yoongi then pulled the door open and was greeted by two parents in fair clothing. There was no sight of dirt on their clothes and no wrinkles. Which meant that money couldn't be the problem; On the other hand, they looked young and this alone made Taehyung wonder that maybe if they were just too young to raise the two-year-old pup. The mother had her hair cut into a sleek bob cut with her hands in her red sweater as she matched with the father of Ju-won in red sweaters and blue denim jeans with low white shoes too. Their eyes explored along the room until the mother locked eyes with Ju-won just sitting by Taehyung; the well-known celebrity. However, Ju-won just didn't know who these two were. He knew they were familiar to him, but they were nothing but strangers after all this time they tried to send him away.

         “Hi!” Taehyung greeted and stood up, but Ju-won unexpectedly began to cry and want Taehyung to sit next to him again. He just felt safer with the older beta than the ones who were his biological parents. Even the DNA tests came out 100% true. Yet, Ju-won no longer associated them with the words parents at all. What struck Taehyung as surprising was that Ju-won believed Taehyung and Yoongi were his parents all along. Not realizing that his mother was female. Not once did Ju-won ever said ‘Mommy' before. So, it showed that he has been taken care of almost many to forget who his true parents really were.
