Jungkook was beyond sad and beyond furious not at jin but at mr lee as he saw the video and he wanted to contact jin immediately but Jungkook had never hated silence this much. His phone finally worked again. It didn't matter. What mattered was that the moment it turned on, messages flooded in—
Schedules. Staff updates. Notifications. But not the one he wanted Jin messages, No missed calls from him nothing from him.
Jungkook stared at the screen, something sharp tightening in his chest. He called several times but there was no answer from the other line.
His jaw clenched. "This isn't normal, he is not like this" he muttered.
He didn't wait anymore, The decision was impulsive or maybe it had been building for days. Within hours, flights were rearranged for him. Managers argued and Staff also tried to convince him to stay. Jungkook didn't listen at all he was already gone.
"I'm going home, thats it" he said simply, And for once, no one could stop him. The car ride from the airport felt endless he was so anxious and furious too something was not right at all.
Seoul blurred past the window, familiar and distant at the same time. Jungkook's fingers tapped restlessly against his knee as he waited in the car.
He dialed Jimin the call connected quickly.
"Jungkook?" Jimin sounded surprised. "You're—aren't you—"
"I'm back," Jungkook cut in. "Where's Jin hyung he is not picking up at all?"
Silence and it was Too long. Jungkook's grip tightened around the phone.
"…Jimin." Jimin exhaled slowly.
"You need to calm down first i thought you knew but your tone tell me jin hyung didnt tell you."
"Tell me where he is and what he didnt tell me." Another pause.
Then—
"He's at the dorm idiot where could he we and hes okay."
Jungkook nodded once.
"I'm coming back right now i am on the way."
"Wait—Jungkook—"
"What?
Jimin hesitated for a bit but then said it.
"…hyung is pregnant."
his world stopped but The car kept moving and everything else froze for him. Jungkook blinked shocked.
"What?" His voice came out quieter than expected.
Jimin's voice softened.
"It's true." Jungkook's heart began to pound violently.
"How long?"
"A while its been 2 months."
"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Jimin didn't answer that and said he will talk later he has something to do and cut the call.
" dammit whats going on " Jungkook leaned forward suddenly.
"Drive faster, come on" he snapped to the driver.
The dorm door opened before he even knocked. Jungkook didn't even remember unlocking it and walking through it. He just knew he was inside the dorm. The familiar space felt… wrong all wrong and quiet.
He walked quickly down the hallway furious , confused and broken. Then he saw them there in living room. jin was sitting on the couch looking all Pale and Softer than before. A blanket draped loosely over his legs looking cozy underneath. And beside him—
Mr. Lee. Holding a glass of water for him Speaking quietly about something. Close to jin and Jungkook's vision narrowed.
he remembered The video, The unanswered calls, and the silence. Everything collided at once into him.
"What the hell is this?" His voice cut through the room sharply and firm loudly.
Jin looked up to see jungkook in flesh standing Infront of him. shocked with wide eyes.
"Kook—" Before jin could even say anything ,But Jungkook was already moving fast and forward. His anger had been building for days and he seeing nothing but red in his eyes. which is soon going to explode.
He grabbed Mr. Lee by the collar, pulling him up roughly by it.
"You—" His voice shook with anger.
"You think I wouldn't come back huh?" Mr. Lee didn't resist, Didn't raise his hands and Didn't fight back. That only made Jungkook angrier as to see if he is accepting whatever is going on.
"You stayed next to him like that—" Jungkook's grip tightened. "You think I wouldn't notice?!"
"Jungkook, stop! stop it" Jin's voice broke through.
But Jungkook didn't let go.
"Say something!" he snapped at Mr. Lee. "Say it!"
Before anything could escalate further—
Jin stepped between them, Literally. Placing himself between Jungkook and Mr. Lee.
"Enough." His voice wasn't loud. But it was firm.
Jungkook froze.
"Let go, let go him jungkook please" Jin said softly.
Jungkook's grip loosened slowly after seeing his love like this vulnerable and soft. Reluctantly he let go. Mr. Lee stepped back without a word and The room fell silent.
Jungkook was still breathing hard. His anger hadn't fully faded—it sat under his skin, restless, sharp. He looked between Jin and Mr. Lee again, something unsettled in his chest.
"…is it true?" Jungkook asked. His voice was quieter now. But heavier.
Jin stilled. The room seemed to shrink around them. Jungkook's eyes searched his face.
"Is it his?" as he looked and mr lee. The question landed like something fragile and dangerous at the same time.
For a second, Jin couldn't speak. Not because he didn't have the answer—
" it's yours idiot." The words were soft. But they landed harder than anything else and Jungkook froze Completely. Like his body forgot how to move.
"…mine?" he repeated.
Jin nodded. A small, fragile movement.
"Yes." The world seemed to tilt. All the anger. All the confusion. All the jealousy—It cracked and Rearranged.
"oh my god its really mine" jungkook asked again to be sure what he heard is true.
"yes" as jin said he was already in the air in jungkook arms.
" i am so happy i am sorry i love you so much hyung" jungkook hugged jin so tight. jungkook was smiling like a idiot and he just forget everything.
Jin looked at Jungkook. Really looked at him whole. Travel-worn, Exhausted and Eyes filled with anger ,and something deeper than Hurt.
"You came back," Jin whispered.
Jungkook's expression cracked slightly.
"Of course I did," he said, almost disbelieving. "You stopped answering me what else i can do."
Jin swallowed. "I'm sorry jungkook."
"That's not enough, hyung" Jungkook said. His voice wasn't angry now. Just raw and somehow hurt could be felt from his voice.
"Why didn't you tell me?" jungkook asked jin looking directly in his eyes.
Jin's eyes dropped from guilt. Because the answer was complicated. Because it would hurt him. Because it would change everything and ruin everything for them. {I wish that I could tell you that it's over I wish that I could walk away from pain My life is like a broken roller coaster But maybe I'm the only one to blame }
"I was going to, tell you" Jin said quietly. "I just… didn't know how."
Jungkook shook his head. "You didn't even try."
Silence.
Jin spoke again. Slowly and Carefully.
"The company knows." Jungkook stilled.
"They told me to keep it a secret, from you and from everyone" Jin continued. "Until your solo career ends."
Jungkook's brows furrowed.
"What?"
"They said it would affect you. Your career. Your image and will ruin everything for you."
Something dark flickered in Jungkook's eyes. "And you listened?"
Jin met his gaze. "Yes because i dont want your dream to get ruined all because of me."
That honestly hurt.
"But that's not the only reason," Jin added softly.
Jungkook didn't speak. Didn't move. He just waited. Jin took a slow breath.
"I was scared." The words came out smaller. More vulnerable.
"Scared of what?"
"That you would have to choose." Jungkook's expression softened slightly.
"Between me… and everything you worked for."
Silence.
Jungkook's anger cracked completely.
"What kind of choice is that?" he said quietly.
Jin didn't answer. Because it felt real to him. Jungkook stepped closer. Slow this time and Careful.
"Look at me," he said. and Jin did.
"I would never choose a career over you, you are my everything" Jungkook said firmly.
"And this—" His hand moved, hesitating for just a second before resting gently over Jin's stomach.
"This is us." Jin's breath hitched. The contact was soft. Reverent and Real.
Jungkook exhaled slowly.
"I should've been here, with you i am so sorry hyung" he whispered.
"I should've known."
Jin shook his head.
"You came back now." jin said and That was enough.
Jungkook pulled him into a tight hug. Careful and Protective. Jin melted into it immediately. All the tension and All the fear. All the loneliness he had been carrying— It cracked in his arms.
"I'm sorry," Jungkook murmured against his hair. "I wasn't there."
Jin's fingers clutched his shirt. "I missed you."
"I know." They stayed like that for a long moment. Just holding each other. Breathing the same air again. When they finally pulled back, Jungkook let out a small, almost disbelieving laugh.
"We're… having a baby." jungkook said happliy.
Jin smiled faintly. "Yes."
Jungkook shook his head slightly, overwhelmed. Then he smiled too. Soft. Genuine. and finally Happy.
"I'm really happy," he admitted.
Jin's eyes softened. But then— Reality returned. Jin's expression grew serious again.
"Kook…" Jungkook looked at him.
"For now… we can't tell anyone, please let it be like this" Jin said quietly.
Jungkook frowned. "What do you mean?"
"They think…" Jin hesitated briefly. "They think it's Mr. Lee's."
Jungkook's expression darkened instantly. "That's ridiculous."
"I know."
"Then tell them the truth."
"I can't."
Jungkook stared at him. "Why?"
"Because it will expose everything," Jin said softly. "Us. The timeline. The secret."
Silence.
Jungkook clenched his jaw. Then exhaled slowly.
"…so I stay hidden?"
Jin stepped closer. "Just for a while."
Jungkook looked at him for a long moment. Then at Jin's stomach. Then back at him. Finally—
He nodded Reluctantly.
"For you, if thats what you want hyung but dont stop me if it ever come to something that i cant take i will telll the whole world" he said quietly.
Jin smiled faintly. " okay For us."
Behind them, Mr. Lee stood quietly. Watching. Not interfering. Just making sure—
They were safe. Together. At last.
