Taehyung and Hoseok sat close by at the kitchen bar, that was visible from the living area because Jimin was the most comfortable that way. Yoongi and Jimin sat on opposite sides of the bulky couch, hesitantly about to have the conversation that is going to change both of their lives forever; a conversation that should have happened a long time ago.

Out of habit, Jimin anxiously picked at his fingernails, sinking further into the couch to allow himself to be more comfortable. Yoongi was disappointed that Jimin had decided to cover his body back up with the blanket. He wanted to see the bump that concealed his baby. It was miraculous and scary to him at the same time.

Neither one knew what to say and there were certain discussions they both wanted to avoid, but knew some of them couldn't be.

"S-so what happens now?" Yoongi broke the silence with a valid question.

Jimin sighs because that was such a difficult question to answer at the moment. He wasn't prepared for the ambush tonight, nor has he thought about what he wanted if Yoongi were to ever find out. "To be honest with you, I don't have much of an answer for that right now. I think we will have to take o-one thing at a time. I-I'm honestly a little overwhelmed right now."

"Okay... that's fair" Yoongi nodded, wanting to keep the conversation as calm as possible. "Let me start with easier, basic questions." He waited for Jimin's indication that it was alright to continue. "How far along are you then?"

"I just hit 7 months" the smaller mumbled.

Yoongi raised his eyebrow, doing the math in his head. "So you don't have too much longer until they're born." He gestered to the other's belly. "I-Is it a boy or a girl?"

"A boy." Jimin placed a maternal hand on his belly.

The answer made the older tear up all over again. "I-I have a s-son?" his lips trembled.

Jimin slowly nodded, as his eyes watered as well.

It was still so difficult for Yoongi to wrap his head around the fact that in a couple short months, he was going to be a father. He was going to be a father to a little boy, but it stung that he just found out about it this evening. He's missed out on most of his child's development in the womb. He would've been there from the instant the pregnancy was discovered if he could.

"I just wish you would have told me sooner... instead I had to find out from Taehyung and Hoseok tonight at a bar..." Yoongi mumbled. "Why didn't you tell me?"

At that question, Jimin already found himself a bit annoyed. The calm atmosphere wasn't going to last. "Yoongi, why would I want to tell you after we were... together... and that day...? I don't have any trust towards you left." Jimin scrunched his eyes at the thought of what had happened. After all of the years he had spent alongside the older and all the trust that had been built had all bit the dust the moment Yoongi had raped him.

It has taken quite some time for Jimin to come to terms with the fact that it was, indeed rape. All of the admiration, hope, and trust disintegrated into nothing. The only thing that never disappeared, was his love for Yoongi. That darn ache in his chest every time he looked or even thought of the older just wouldn't go away.

"Besides..." Jimin continued, clutching the throw blanket tighter. "You had Kang Sera, and that's all you ever really wanted."

"I broke up with her" Yoongi admitted, but the pregnant male didn't have a response to that because he already knew, and it didn't mean too much now.

The blonde messed up his hair in the front in frustration, brining his knees up to his chest. "God, I feel like such an idiot. Honestly, I'm a fucking monster."

Again, Yoongi let his tears stream down his cheeks. "I've destroyed so much... J-Jimin... Jiminie, I'm so sorry. I want to make this right. I'll be here and I'll do whatever you need me to. Tell me, how can I make things okay?"

Jimin bit his lip, unsure about the answer to that. "It'll take time Yoongi hyung..."

The older shuddered and looked up at Jimin with hope in his eyes. The younger had pretty much just said that everything can eventually get better. That's a start, right? "I want to be involved from here on out. I'm sorry if that seems like I'm demanding too much, but I want to be a part of my son's life."

Jimin wasn't ready for this part of the conversation because he was still so afraid. It made him feel sick to his stomach. The threat from Kang Sera replayed in his brain, filling him with a constant fear for his child's life. Plus, he's not sure how close he's really willing to be to Yoongi yet.

"Now that I know, I can be here every step of the way from here on out. I can go to all of your appointments with you, I can go on late grocery runs for you if you ever get any midnight cravings, or if you need your feet rubbed. Hell, I can even move in with-"

"Yoongi, stop!" Jimin shouted, he was shaking at this point from his nerves.

The blonde boy snapped his mouth shut when he finally realized how pale Jimin looked. Did I say something wrong?

Before Yoongi could ask the petite male what was wrong, Hoseok and Taehyung charged inside the living room. Taehyung especially, had a panicked look on his face. "Jimin? What happened?" Taehyung immediately glared at the oldest in the room. He couldn't help but believe that Yoongi must have done something to trigger Jimin.

The faux blonde held up his hands in defense and confusion. "I didn't do anything... I'm not sure why he yelled." Yoongi really did feel useless next to the one person he used to know better than anyone else.

"You must have done something to freak him out!" Taehyung snapped.

"Will you both shut up!?" Hoseok finally jumped in, annoyed by the whole interaction. Plus, he seemed to be the only one to notice Jimin's further distress from the two arguing. He gestured toward the pregnant male, directing their attention back on Jimin.

When Taehyung realized how distraught Jimin seemed to be, he instantly plopped himself down next to the smaller, cradling him into his arms protectively. "Jimin, I'm sorry. What happened?"

He spoke in a shaky voice. "T-this is just too much all at once" the overwhelmed boy turned his attention back to Yoongi, clutching Taehyung's hand. "Listen, I-I think I n-need to take this all very slow. You have to earn my trust back, but it won't be easy. I want my baby to have their father if you're willing to be a part of their life, but you can't back out later on. You are either present in his life or you're not."

Yoongi swallowed the lump in his throat, and nodded his head. He's aware of how serious this all is.

"Also, I don't want you to live here. Just because we are having a child together, doesn't mean I expect you to be with me. This is about him, so realistically, this will strictly be us as two parents raising a child together. Nothing more, nothing less."

The future father looked down to the ground, but again nodded. He's not sure why, but his chest burned when the other said he didn't expect them to get together. Jimin's tone almost sounded like he didn't want them to ever become a couple. He's never thought of Jimin that way, so why does it bother him now? Is it becaus of Seokjin hyung? Why does it even bother me? We were never together in the first place.

"You can come to my appointments with me... and um, be there during the birth, but I don't know the rest right now. You might have to give me some time." Jimin let out a shaky breath.

Yoongi had no right to protest against any of Jimin's wishes at this point so he calmly agreed.

Hoseok let out a big yawn and checked his watch. "Alright, it's pretty late. Yoongi, we should probably let Jimin get to sleep. You two can discuss more details later."

Taehyung nodded in agreement, stretching his arms over his head.

"Yoongi reluctantly stood, and looked back down at Jimin. "Before I go... it's okay if this is too much... but can I..?" he pointed to Jimin's belly with a hopeful look. The same look that Jimin can never say no to.

"Y-yes." Jimin blushed, gradually removing his blanket once again.

The father-to-be knelt in front of Jimin, his hands trembling from how nervous he was. When he was too slow, Jimin grabbed his wrists and placed them on his stomach, holding them there. It was weird. Jimin has only let Taehyung touch his belly because it bothers him if most other people try to touch it, but for some reason, when it's Yoongi, it feels okay.

When Yoongi relaxed a bit, he let his large hands spread over most of the surface. "H-hi baby" he timidly spoke, trying to ignore the other pairs of eyes in the room. "It's your daddy. I'm sorry I haven't been here until now, but I promise to make it up to you and your mommy."

Jimin teared up at the sight, letting himself smile a bit for the first time all night. He tried to not think too much into Yoongi's words, but they were endearing.

"OH!" Yoongi jumped when he felt movement beneathe his hands. "Did he just-?"

Jimin let himself giggle a bit, "Yeah, he's kicking a little. He must like your voice."

Yoongi looked up with absolute joy present in his eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~

This chapter seems all over the place, so I'm sorry for that. Jimin's feelings are also all over the place, so I hope that that is properly conveyed.

Although he still loves Yoongi and wants his baby to have a dad, he's terrified to allow Yoongi to be close to him again. He's also still terrified by Sera's threat. He was forced to finally have this conversation against his will, so he's pretty overwhelmed.
