CHAPTER 44

You spent your days in Hoseok's company; since the chat that you had back a couple of days before, you worked on getting closer to each other once again. It was only then when you realized how much did you actually miss him.

"Do you want to come over after work and watch something?" Hoseok asked while getting a cup of coffee. You guys were spending your breaks at work together.

He could see your brows furrowing at the question.

"I don't know Hobi" you curled your lips " Is Jimin going to be there?".

You didn't see Jimin since the day of your fight, when he kicked you out of the apartment.
You knew that he was still angry at you. He had to be.

That day you broke Jimin's trust and with that, your friendship. Jimin was loyal to Taehyung. He'd known him for years and was his closest friend, a brother practically. So there was no surprise that he'd choose Taehyung over you. It wasn't even a question.

"I don't know, probably" Hoseok shrugged his shoulders "Why?".

You raised an eyebrow at him when he asked you that.

"You know why I am asking" you said to him as you leaned against the doorframe of your new office "I don't want to..." you let that sentence fade away " I think it's best if I stay away from him".

"You know you'll have to see Jimin one day. It's bound to happen, you can't avoid it".

" No I know, it's just that I would prefer not to do it today" you bit your lip " I don't feel like it".

"Y/n" Hoseok stepped away from the wall he was leaning against and faced you " Jimin doesn't even mention you. I don't think it's that big of a deal if you come" he reassured you " I think he won't say anything to you if he's going to be home at all" he smiled at you. "I promise you it's going to be fine".

"Could you check if he's going to be there? Please" you begged him " I really don't want to bump into him tonight, I'm sorry".

"Fine" Hoseok took his phone out of his pocket and quickly texted Jimin.

"Here. He's not home tonight" Hoseok said to you after reading the message, showing it to you "Now will you come?" he lifted his brow while smiling.

"Yes" you smiled back at him, feeling a little bit more at ease.

After work hours you made a quick stop by Taehyung's office, just to inform him that you wont be coming home with him. You felt anxious every time you needed to speak to him.

"Taehyung?" you called for him in an insecure manner as you entered his office.

You caught him sitting on his desk, smiling and laughing across from Yuna. It was a while since the last time you saw him laugh like that; genuinely and so purely.
His smile immediately died on his lips as soon as his eyes met yours.

"Hi...I...hm..." you stuttered on words "sorry to interrupt" you quickly apologized to him and Yuna. She was surprised but wasn't embarrassed or anything.

"I just wanted to quickly say that I wont be coming home with you" you bit the inside of your cheek and tortured your fingers " Hoseok invited me to his place so I'll be going with him if that's alright with you?" you asked, not sure of the reaction that you'll get from him.

"He'll drive me home" you were quick to add, making Yuna chuckle. You looked at her; she was resting her head against her hand, leaning onto the side, eyeing you down.

It seemed that she was somewhat annoyed by your presence. Like you were an inconvenience to her but at the same time keeping her chin up, seemingly unbothered by you.

"Hoseok invited you?" Taehyung was confused by that.

"Yes" you nodded. "So...can I go? He's waiting for me".

Taehyung nodded, making you instantly relax.

"But I'll drive you home".

"Okay, so..." you backtracked a bit " see you tonight" you said before exiting.

You went with Hoseok to his place. You hadn't been there in months so entering through the entrance door into what earlier was your home made your heart sink.
You looked around; everything was left exactly the way you remembered it.
You smiled.

"You got a few new things" you looked around.

"Yeah" Hoseok sighed while taking off his shoes " It's Jimin's shit. He always buys new staff online".

"Funny 'cause he'd always say it was you who bought useless stuff" you looked around.

You helped Hoseok make a quick dinner before getting cozy on the couch and playing a movie.

"We should get drunk" you heard Hoseok suddenly say.

"What?" you asked amused.

"Yeah... I mean, this movie is boring" he yawned. " We need to do something else or else I'm going to fall asleep".

"And you thought that getting drunk was a good idea?" you said through a delightful smile.

"Yeah. Why not?" Hoseok asked.

You raised an eyebrow at him, hinting with your eyes at the baby bump.

"Oh shit. I forgot" Hoseok chuckled. "That's right. You can't drink, you're pregnant".

"What a keen observation Hobi" you said making him laugh.

" Does it feel weird?" he asked you.

"What? Being pregnant? Not so much" you admitted " I'm not that far along. Still can tie my own shoes" you giggled together. " But..." you pointed out " I miss sleeping on my stomach".

"Why? You can't sleep on your stomach?" Hoseok asked curious.

"It's not forbidden. It won't hurt the baby but it still feels uncomfortable" you rubbed your belly.

"Can I touch it?" Hoseok asked.

"Yeah, of course" you let him touch your belly.

He caressed your bump gently and you watched his lips curve up into a smile.

"I still cant believe that you're pregnant" he admitted " hell, I can barely wrap my head around Jisoo and Jin becoming parents but this..." he caressed your belly with his thumb "...this feels on a whole other level. I mean... Taehyungie and you are going to have a kid, how wild is that?" he leaned back in his seat.

"Yeah..." you smiled while lowering your gaze to your belly, wrapping your hands around it.

Hoseok caught the veil of sadness in your tone. He knew what was making you sad, who was making you sad.

"Do you miss him?".

"Every day" your lips contorted as you lifted your eyes to meet his.

"Did you ever wish that the baby was his?".

"I try not to think about it. I love this baby no matter who the father is".

"Yeah Y/n but I mean c'mon" he crossed his arms " Surely, you wanted for this baby to be Kook's at one point. You clearly love him and he clearly loves you, right?" Hoseok gave you a reassuring smile " and I personally think that there's no better thing than creating a new life with someone you love".

"It's not that easy, Hobi".

"Why? How did any of this happen?".

You proceeded to tell Hoseok everything. You filled him in with every detail regarding Jungkook's and your story.

"Damn. That's...quite a story" he said.

"yep" you nodded.

"How the fuck did I not see all of this happening?" he asked bewildered, making you laugh.

"And Jungkook...who would've thought that he would fell in love eventually" he shook his head in disbelief " And that of all people you would be the one" he looked at you.

"I know" you chuckled "It's a crazy story".

Hoseok nodded. "Y/n, I need you to promise me something, okay?".

You looked him with a confused expression.

"Promise me that no matter what, no matter who you love or who are you going to have kids with that..." he paused, making you wonder what he was going to say "that you're not going to have sex at my wedding one day" he blurted out making the both of you laugh.
" 'cause that's nasty" he asserted while laughing.

"Don't make me laugh if you don't want me to pee on your couch" you laughed.

The lighthearted conversation was interrupted by the sound of keys unlocking the door. You couldn't act quickly enough for Jimin had already entered through the door.

"Jimin" you let a breath out unconsciously.

"Bro why are you back home already?" Hoseok asked him.

Jimin looked at you perplexed. You could clearly see the surprise in his eyes.

"Had an early practice" Jimin brushed Hoseok's question off as he broke eye contact with you, aiming for his room.

"I should probably go" you whispered to Hoseok once Jimin had entered his room.

"You don't have to go" Hoseok tried to change your mind.

But before you could answer Jimin popped back in the living room.

"Jimin-ah, how was practice today?" Hoseok asked.

"Fine" Jimin went to the kitchen to grab something to drink.

"When's the performance?" Hoseok asked.

"This Friday" Jimin said in between sips.

"Are you nervous?" Hoseok asked.

"A bit" Jimin nodded distracted while gulping down his drink.

"I bet you'll be amazing" you dared to say "maybe I'll come to watch your performance" you smiled at him.

It was only then when Jimin looked in your direction. He nodded, placed his drink on the kitchen table and slowly approached you.

Your smile died on your lips once you saw him walk up to you.

" Listen. I don't know why you're here or why does Hoseok think hanging out with you is a good idea nor do I care but Y/n..." he licked his lips. "make no mistake, we are not friends." His eyes were piercing through you " I don't want you here".

"Jimin" Hoseok tried to scold him.

Jimin just merely looked at him before continuing "The only reason I'm not kicking you out right now is because you're pregnant with Taehyung's child".

"Jimin, if you could just listen to me" you tried to reason with him.

"No" he cut you off " I don't want to listen to your pathetic excuses. You cheated on Tae. You betrayed his trust. You've ruined everything" he shook his head " I can't believe you could do this".

"That's enough" Hoseok intervened once he saw your shattered look.

"No" Jimin looked at him as sadness and frustration tinted his face. "She needs to know the mess she made".

"I know what I did" you said in a sturdy way. "Okay? I know what I did. I know that I hurt him. It wasn't ever my intention. I wanted to tell him for the longest time but I didn't know how. I wanted to protect him from getting hurt".

"Don't give me that bullshit on wanting to protect him" Jimin responded " You're a coward Y/n. You keep saying that you wanted to protect him when I reality you wanted to keep your ass safe".
His words stung you badly.

"You ruined everything" Jimin repeated " If it wasn't for you coming here none of this would have happened" his face contorted in disdain. "I wish we've never met you".

And with that, you grabbed your things and got out of there as fast as you could.

"Did you need to do that to her?" Hoseok asked Jimin but got no response.

You ran down the stairs while crying uncontrollably. You didn't know why you thought you could repair your relationships. You felt so stupid right there and then, thinking that you could change something when the reality was that you were hoping in vain. And the worst thing was that Jimin was right. You did ruin everything for everyone. And you hated yourself for doing it.

In the hopes of calming down before coming home, you opted for a long walk back to Taehyung's house.

Roaming the streets alone was turning into a habit of yours. You were so lost in thought you forgot to check on the time and with it, the phone.
It was only when you randomly remembered that you didn't check it in a while that you took it out of your bag.

Your eyes grew once you saw five missed calls from Taehyung. You were about to call him back when the screen lit up again, signalizing an incoming call.

"Hi. Sorry for not picking up. I was just about to-".

"Where the fuck are you?!" Taehyung's voice echoed through the line.

"I'm sorry Tae. I lost track of time. I'm about to come home".

"Don't call me that" he said after a second or two of silence. "I need you to tell me exactly where are you".

After you've explained your location to him he said to wait for him to pick you up.

You waited for him for a couple of minutes before seeing his car approach you on the street.

"I'm sorry" you said as soon as you entered his car.

"I don't need you to be sorry. I need you to answer the phone when I call you" Taehyung drove away from the spot he'd picked you up.

" I know. It won't happen again. I promise" you said in an apologetic tone.

"I thought I said to call me when you wanted to come home so why didn't you?" Taehyung's tone was cold and rigid but you hinted fear as well.

"Nothing. I just forgot" you lied.

"You can't be that fucking reckless Y/n" Taehyung scolded you.

"What's the big deal anyway? I like walking around" you rebuked him.

"You're pregnant. I can't let you roam around alone. It's dangerous" Taehyung sighed.

"I'm sorry" you said before falling silent.

You spent the ride home silent, as you did on the way to Taehyung's apartment.

"Tomorrow's the doctor's appointment" you dared to break the silence once you entered his place.

"Mhm" Taehyung nodded before walking through the hallway, passing by you.

"Don't do something like what you did tonight ever again" he stopped mid hallway just to tell you that before disappearing into his room.

You sighed and went to yours, hoping that for the night you would have a good night's sleep.

"How are we feeling today?" your gynecologist gave you a radiant smile while applying lube on your stomach.

You were lying on the bed near the doctors scanner with Taehyung by your side, waiting for your ultrasound to begin.

"Good" you said to her " I don't sleep well tough but I heard that's normal?".

"Perfectly normal" she reassured you with a smile while beginning the scan.

"Oh look at you!" she said once the image of your baby appeared on the screen "What are you up to little one?".

Both Taehyung and you had your eyes fixed on the screen, happy to see your baby.

"Oh you're upside down, aren't you?" she kept speaking sweetly to the screen.

"Is everything looking good?" Taehyung was eager to know the answer.

" Marvelous" the gynecologist reassured him " here you can see the umbilical cord" she pointed at the screen.

"Is that what that is?" you asked amazed.

"This is the placenta and this..." she smiled " this is your baby's arm" a clear image of a tiny arm and an even tinier hand appeared.

"Oh God" you breathed out with as your lips kept curving upwards.

"Lets have a listen to the heartbeat" the doctor said right before the sound of your baby's heart beating echoed the room.

Taehyung instinctively grabbed you by your hand and squeezed it tightly, unable to contain his happiness. You looked at him looking at the screen. It was a small gesture but it meant so much to you. Taehyung didn't touch you in so long, you forgot how it felt.

"The baby keeps hiding from us" the doctor chuckled "doesn't want to be photographed today" she said making Taehyung chuckle. Scans were the only time you could see his glowing boxy smile.

"There you are!" she said with a sweet voice "How beautiful you are".

You looked at your baby's face, trying to cover itself with its tiny hands. It was the first time you've seen your baby's face.

"Hi baby" you said at the monitor as a warm sensation spread from your heart through your whole body. "Hi my love".

"Do you want to know the sex of the baby?" the doctor asked.

"Can we?" Taehyung asked.

"Yes. The baby is letting us see today" she smiled.

"You mean you can see the gender right now?" you asked.

"Yes" she chuckled " I'm looking at it right now, do you want to know?".

Taehyung and you looked at each other before giving a small but decisive nod.

"Yes".

"Congratulations! You're having a baby boy!".
