Jungkook fell back into the wall at Jisoo's words, his whole world reeling with that brief utterance. Jisoo quickly moved to try and catch him as he shoved her hands away from him. "How?! I used protection every time we were together! How the fuck did that happen?!" Jungkook asked, panicking at what would happen between him and Taehyung now. He was hoping that Taehyung would forgive him, the way he finally forgave Taehyung for sleeping with Yoongi and Hoseok.

Jisoo shrugged at his words and Jungkook shook his head vigorously. "No! You don't get out of answering this with a shrug! That is not an answer and I will not accept that as an answer either," Jungkook declared angrily, grabbing Jisoo by her arm. "How did it happen?" Jungkook asked once again, his grip tightening around her arm but not enough to hurt her. Jisoo sighed softly as she rolled her eyes. "You remember when the condom broke? Well, I lied about being on the pill, okay? I didn't want you to panic then," she started nonchalantly, casting her eyes down at the ground.

"Fuck! So you're just going to casually drop that on me now that I was in a happy and loving relationship?" Jungkook asked, wiping away the sweat that beaded along his forehead in anxiety. He was starting to feel suffocated, over-heated, and dizzy as he fanned himself. Jisoo clasped her hands together as she looked up at Jungkook. "Well... I needed help raising the child. I'm not going to just get rid of it," she stated, placing her hand on her hip.

Jungkook sighed loudly as he glared at her from under his hand. "So you're just trying to trap me then? You think I wanted a child this young? Fine. I'll talk to Taehyung about helping raise this abomination," Jungkook mentioned as Jisoo hastily grabbed his arm that still clutched his stitches. "No! I want to be a part of this child's life too! They'll need a mommy," she cried as Jungkook suddenly hissed in pain. They both glanced down to see a dark shade of red spreading across the center of Jungkook's hospital gown and Jisoo's eyes widened.

"O- Oh, God! Wh- what happened?" Jisoo asked panicked as Jungkook reeled back into the wall. "Fuck. Get somebody," he instructed, sliding slowly down the wall in his already weakened state. Jisoo rushed into the nurse's office as she pointed towards the hallway in a panic. "S- Somebody! Q- Quickly! H- Jungkook is bleeding," she cried, frantically pointing towards the hallway as Taehyung was the first one to rush out of the room. Hoseok, Yoongi, and Jimin weren't too far behind him as Seokjin grabbed the nurse and drug him out into the hallway to help as well.

To his dismay, Jungkook woke several hours later in bed once again with fresh stitches. He was wanting to heal quickly in order to be at the soiree with Taehyung, but now he wasn't so sure he'd even be able to attend. He noticed two people jump up from the corners of his eyes as Taehyung's and Jisoo's faces came into clear view. "Kookie," they both cried in unison, tears dripping onto his face from both of them. He pulled his arms out from underneath the covers as he moved to wipe only Taehyung's tears. "I'm fine. Please don't cry, okay?" Jungkook asked, trying to coax Taehyung to calm down now.

When he met Jisoo's tear-streaked cheeks, he glared at her. "Did you have to grab my arm like that? Now I have to wait until these stitches heal to move around more," he stated in a passive-aggressive tone, his face flat with disinterest in her sorrow. "About our earlier conversation, Jisoo. We'll continue it right now with Taehyung present. Is anyone else here, Tae?" Jungkook asked, glancing around but not really able to see anyone else past their bodies. Taehyung nodded, glancing over his shoulder at the others that were fast asleep in the chairs provided by the nurse. "Yes, the others are here, but they're fast asleep," Taehyung answered softly as Jungkook sighed with acceptance.

He very slowly sat up, glancing between the two and casting an apologetic look up at Taehyung. "I- I didn't know any sooner, b- but apparently, J- Jisoo is p- pregnant," Jungkook stammered with great remorse as Taehyung's eyebrows knit in hurt. "I'm sorry, babe. I- I didn't know that it had even happened," he answered softly as Taehyung bit his lip. Jugnkook could tell that he was fighting back tears as he glanced over at Jisoo and back to Jungkook. "H- How far along is she?" Taehyung asked as Jungkook glanced at Jisoo for an answer.

Jisoo gripped Jungkook's hand in her own, even though Jungkook kept struggling to pull his hand away from her but he was too weak from loss of blood. "Five and a half months. I just started getting a little baby bump, see?" Jisoo asked as she pulled her oversized shirt tight to show them her slightly protruding stomach. Taehyung raised his eyebrows as he realized it really hadn't happened recently, but he still couldn't help feeling hurt by the fact that she'd be a part of Jungkook's life forever now.

Taehyung sighed heavily as he nodded softly at no one in particular. "Do you know the gender yet?" Taehyung asked, looking at Jisoo as she shrugged indifferently. "Not yet. I have an appointment set up later this month for that," she reported as Jungkook finally yanked his feeble hand out of her grasp. She looked down at him with a hurt expression. "Now is that any way to treat the mother of your child?" Jisoo asked with watery eyes.

Jungkook rolled his eyes as he sighed heavily but before he could speak, Taehyung spoke up. "I'll pay you to give up your parental rights," Taehyung offered softly, his eyes full of hope for their future. "Like... A surrogate mother. Please," Taehyung urged as he stared at Jisoo with those hopeful eyes that innocently bore holes into her. Jungkook looked at Taehyung with wide eyes before glancing over at Jisoo with a skeptical peek. He knew Jisoo was just trying to trap him with the news of being pregnant, but he hoped that she would take Taehyung's offer.

Jisoo pouted slightly at Taehyung's words and his hopeful eyes before looking into Jungkook's skeptical gaze. She sighed softly as she folded her arms over her chest with a soft and diminutive 'hmph'. Taehyung's hope died a little on the inside at that gesture until she sighed once again. "How much?" Jisoo asked softly, glancing back at Taehyung with resolved eyes. Taehyung's eyes lit up at her words as he briskly walked towards her side of the bed and hugged her tightly in his arms. He may not like that she'd be a part of their life, but he had to admit that she could be nice at times. "Whatever you need. If you want, we can support you afterward because this will really be helping us out," Taehyung corroborated with a boxy smile, his grip around her tightening with his enthusiasm.

Jisoo patted his back softly as she glanced at Jungkook's shocked expression, his eyes wide as he stared at the two of them. "Fine, I won't interfere with you two and your relationship either," she stated of her own accord, surprising Jungkook even further. "I just want the baby to be healthy and happy. If you two are going to do that... I- I suppose I can sign over my parental rights to you," she added, gesturing towards Taehyung.

Taehyung turned towards Jungkook with a serious expression. "Okay, since she is the surrogate mother for your child... M- My Mama. The conversation I last had with Mama ended similarly to this conversation," Taehyung confessed softly, glancing at Jungkook as he looked up at Taehyung. "What do you mean?" Jungkook asked before glancing over at Jisoo, who stood silently beside Taehyung as Jungkook glanced back at Taehyung. "What I mean is... Mama wants me to have children too... She talked about a surrogate to bear children for me also and well..."

Jungkook swallowed thickly as he stared at Taehyung in disbelief. "Well, what?" Jungkook asked hollowly, his face showing the despair he felt. Taehyung bit his lip slightly, afraid to speak the truth by the look on Jungkook's face. He was only sixteen and Taehyung was already pushing so much on him because of his family and their standards. "S- She's already looking for the surrogate," Taehyung spoke softly, almost inaudible, terrified that Jungkook would come unglued and yell at him. Or worse. Hate him.

Taehyung fidgeted slightly on the spot under Jungkook's intense gaze of anguish as Jungkook sighed loudly. "I guess it can't be helped then," Jungkook commented softly, his gaze falling to his hands in his lap. "I guess we're going to be young parents then," Jungkook added, nodding firmly before looking back up into Taehyung's eyes. He could see the tears collecting in them as Taehyung threw his arms around Jungkook, quickly crawling into the bed with him. He buried his face in Jungkook's neck, certain that Jungkook was going to be furious with him, but instead, he had accepted it graciously and gracefully. Taehyung really couldn't have asked for a better boyfriend as he straddled Jungkook's leg, hugging him tightly. Jungkook swallowed hard as he tenderly patted Taehyung's back, trying to reassure Taehyung and get him off of him. They hadn't really been able to be intimate in a few days now and Jungkook could really tell as he fought every urge within him to slam Taehyung into the mattress beneath them.

"Okay, babe, we have company," Jungkook announced as Taehyung nodded in Jungkook's neck and slowly pulled away from Jungkook. Taehyung hesitantly climbed out of the bed and stood beside Jisoo once more, his hands properly clasped in front of him. "Y- Yes, sorry. I just got overly excited that you didn't get angry with me," Taehyung expressed softly, smiling his usual boxy smile at Jungkook.

Jungkook frowned at Taehyung's words as he sighed softly. "I've been working on that... So please don't think I'm going to get angry at every little thing you say or do," Jungkook reassured, gently patting Taehyung's hands that were clasped in front of him. Jungkook then looked at Jisoo and nodded his head firmly. "Thank you for being cooperative," Jungkook whispered softly, tilting his head in thought. "You're a better person than I ever gave you credit for," Jungkook added as Jisoo smiled triumphantly and placed both her hands on her hips for display.

"That's why I could never understand why you were always so mean to me," Jisoo complained as she shifted her position slightly to wrap one hand behind the back of her neck. "Although, I do have to admit that I can be pretty annoying towards you at times, so I understand. Could you be a little nicer to me now though? Please?" Jisoo implored, offering a sheepish smile as Jungkook chuckled and rolled his eyes playfully. "Fine, I'll be nicer," Jungkook noted, tilting his head in thought once again. He glanced at Taehyung and then back at Jisoo before his eyes fell upon the nurse sitting in his back office, disregarding their existence entirely as an idea struck him.

"This whole predicament might actually come in handy, Tae," Jungkook piped up, watching as both Jisoo's and Taehyung's expressions shifted into confusion. "What do you mean?" They both asked in unison before glancing at each other and back down at Jungkook. "Your parents are having their party in the next few days, right? That's where your father plans to announce your fiancé, correct?" Jungkook asked as Taehyung nodded his head in dismal realization. "Yes, thank you for reminding me..."

Jungkook smiled at Taehyung and Taehyung couldn't understand why Jungkook was so happy about that. "We could use Jisoo's pregnancy against the nurse and get you an extended opportunity to have them announce me as your fiancé instead," Jungkook noted as Taehyung's eyes lit up with excitement. Both their eyes landed on Jisoo as she sighed with exasperation. "Use me if it means you'll be happy, Jungkook. That's honestly all I've ever wanted for you, even though it may not have seemed like that..." She trailed off as her eyes landed on Taehyung. She remembered everything she'd said to him earlier that day and prior to now and it made her feel bad about how she'd addressed him. Even if she was looking out for Jungkook's happiness. Although she had desperately wanted to be with Jungkook at first, she could tell that his happiness didn't start with her and she couldn't keep forcing the two of them apart. That would only make Jungkook resent her even more and she really didn't want that to happen. "I'll play along with your plan if it means you will be happy."
