The weekend had finally arrived and Jungkook couldn't wait to get away from the city's air. A change of environment is what he desperately needed.
His parents 's house was only a two hour drive from Seoul. He took a bus while admiring the change around him. He wasn't thinking about Taehyung nor the pregnancy .He just wanted to feel the clean air.
The bus stand was just minutes away from the house. As he was at the gate he could hear shouting and screaming inside. His mother and his older brother were at it again. His brother was a lawyer of 35 years but at home he was the mama's boy. Instead of having his own apartment at that age he chose to live with their parents.
The reason why he fights with their mother is because she wants him to move out and start a family of his own. She desperately once grandchildren but Young isn't having it.He makes Mrs Jeon wonder if he really is man enough.
"Just get out of my kitchen, paste "
"Mom don't treat me like I don't bring money into this house. It's not fair"Young pouted as he chewed on the carrot in his mouth.
"I don't need your money. I just want grandchildren from you. I'm not getting any younger "
"Mom you aren't that old. Its because you probably got pregnant too early "he laughed.
As Jungkook opened the kitchen door a wooden spoon was being huled across the kitchen aiming at his brother who successfully dodged it only to land on Jungkook 's forehead.
"Guy"he screamed while rubbing his forehead.
"Mom, you see what you did. You have hurt Kookie "
"Only if you hadn't dodged it"
"Are you saying it's my fault? "
"Yeah it is"she answered.
"Enough of this dog fight. I'm the victim of your squabbling. Don't you have anything to say to me "
"Welcome, son.How are you doing,?"she asked as she hugged him .
"Mom, he wants an apology but the problem is who is going to apologize '
"You guys are unbelievable. I shouldn't have come at all "
"Did your husband finally get tired of you. I wouldn't be suprise "
"It's obvious that you never liked him. We have been knew. How about you get a life '
"Jungkook, you are talking to your brother "
"A brother who has always screwed me over "
"Let me tell your friends that you used to creep into my bed when you sleep walk .Who sleeps walk at this age?"
"Right, I too wonder the same .You are going to be forty in five years. Please grow up "
"You guys are so mean "
"I wonder who made you a lawyer "Jungkook laughed
"Mom, please tell your daughter to go back soon to her husband 's house "
"What? "And that was the cue for Jungkook to grab his brother 's hair and bang his head against the wall.
The mother was also stunned by her oldest words.
"Guys please. Get out of my house if want to fight like animals "the mother yelled but it went unheard .She literally face palmed. There might be a age difference of 9 years between their sons but they always fight like monkeys. Jungkook says his brother makes it difficult for people to love him.
It turned out that it was rather their welcoming ritual. After having lunch they became the best of friends and chatted a lot.
After dinner the two brothers laid on the green grass watching the stars. Of all things, stargazing was the only thing that they had in common.
Jungkook was delighted to spent the weekend with his family while he cleared his head but he couldn't bring himself to tell them about the pregnancy .However his mother gave him the weird eye since she had been assessing his behaviour. In the end she just shrugged it off to enjoy time with her son.
Meanwhile Taehyung texted Jungkook every hour of the whole weekend. Young got mad that Jungkook was always stuck with his phone rather than spend time with his family that he hadn't seen in a year .The truth of the matter is:he never liked Taehyung.
The weekend ended and Jungkook was glad that he hadn't gotten caught by his mother.
Three months later
Being a junior doctor wasn't easy. Certainly while being pregnant. Jungkook was running some errands in the ER when suddenly his mouth went dry,vision blurry.His eyelids felt heavy until he let them close and drifted into unconsciousness. Luckily Jimin was somewhere around. He ran to him before anyone could get to him. He had some other doctors help him to the bed.
Just then Taehyung got out of the elevator coming towards their direction.Jimin feared that Jungkook would get caught by his husband.
"What happened to him? "Taehyung exclaimed.
"He will be fine.I got this, Taehyung. I think he is just tired.Let him rest for a while "
"If you say so "Taehyung sighed as he looked at the sleeping younger.
Jimin stayed until Jungkook had regained his consciousness.
"Ah my head hurts "he groaned as he sat up in the bed.
"Did you have breakfast. We almost got caught '
"We..?"he laughed
"Jungkook this isn't the time to be cheeky. Taehyung is also a doctor and soon enough he will find out. You are already starting to show "
Jungkook yawned "Hyung, what am I even doing. Where is this even going. I'm so confused. I can't think straight anymore. My heart makes me feel like a fool"
"Jungkook, you should have an ultrasound to check whether everything is okay. Come to my office after work.I will be waiting for you in my off."
"I'm really grateful for everything you have done for me but I don't know if I am ready to see the fetus yet "
"Jungkook, this isn't about you. Don't be selfish you hear me.How is it your fault that Taehyung can't cope with the prospective of being a father "
"I'm sorry Hyung. It's just that I'm afraid of Taehyung finding out .What if he asks me to choose between him and the baby "
"I really wish I could assure you that everything will be okay. Jungkook stay strong for the baby.There is just something about a mother 's love, the other sort of love for a man, just can't compete "
"Thanks Hyung. You are really sweet "
Jungkook turned to his left to see Taehyung coming their way. He went a pecked Jungkook 's crown lovingly.
"Are you better now? "
"I'm fine, Taehyung. You don't have to be worried about me "
"I just can't help but worry about you. You know that "
"Now I'm telling you not to do that because I'm perfectly fine. Right Jimin Hyung? "
"Yeah he is."
Taehyung took Jungkook 's s hand that was resting on his tummy and placed it between his bigger ones.
"I love you. You know that don't you? "
Jungkook felt the tears clouding his eyes as he looked at Taehyung 'ernest face.
He nodded tearfully.How uncomfortable did Jimin feel in this kind of situation .He couldn't stand being a third wheel so he left but he was still worried about Jungkook. He wondered how Taehyung couldn't have noticed the slightly noticeable bump on Jungkook.
If he had given up the baby for Taehyung, he knew he would eventually hate him and if he didn't Taehyung would hate him. They were bound to have a relationship filled with anger and resentment either way.
