Chapter 5: Wake-up call
Taehyung remained there, gazing down at Minho as he continued to feed the hungry pup. After a while, the way Minho gazed up at the beta the whole time made the man let out a chuckle. “Ah, his eyes are gorgeous, but he looks at me like I'm going to hurt him!”
“He's just trying to get to know you! Don't be like that, Tae!” Yoongi told the beta while Taehyung pouted and looked back at Minho. “He must be a handful… Isn't he?”
“Yes, he is. This just adds onto more of the stress we just have; kicking in slowly.” Jungkook claimed as he let go of Jimin and walked over to the rocking chair just to sit back. Once again, looking at the two just sitting there in confusion as Jimin was well aware of the whole situation now.
“Stress kicking in slowly…? What's that supposed to mean?” Taehyung worried as he finally pried his gaze from Minho and back to the couple up ahead.
“There's a certain ‘leech’ clinging onto us like before… Ugh, he's sending Jimin letters now. But we don't read them, I don't want to hear from this guy… He gets on my nerves!” Jungkook mentioned as Yoongi took a while to think about it.
“OH! Kyunsji? Ah, don't be like that. It's part of a leech’s nature to suck blood out of a person, Kyunsji? No, he does that on purpose to be thrown to the side. He just wants attention and you can't really compare anything to a parasite like that.” Yoongi claimed as he let out a chuckle after. “He's far from here… You'll live. Don't worry about it!”
“Kyunsji is sending you letters? Not surprising. He's been preying on Jimin for so long. Can't they take away the privilege of him being able to send letters?” Questioned the Beta as he then pulled the bottle from the pup’s lips, making Minho look up and pout his lips and gaze up at the beta.
“Mh-” Minho hummed as he was about to start crying so suddenly. Taehyung then looked down and his eyes widened, just dreading to hear the baby cry in his arms. Suddenly, Minho was starting to cry as Yoongi chuckled and moved a spot down on the couch to avoid hearing Minho’s cries just against his ear.
“J-Jimin! What do I do?” Taehyung panicked. Softly bouncing the pup in his arms. “Minho, you finished your bottle already! I can't give you more.”
“Put him in a burping position, he loves laying on someone’s chest.” Instructed Jungkook as Taehyung complied and set Minho over his chest. At the moment, Minho was crying and kicking his small feet while his eyes closed with tears flowing through them. “Ah, Taehyung you broke his heart.”
“I can't keep feeding him an empty bottle! Um… I'll try to stand up and bounce him over my chest?”
“Standing up and moving around gets him anxious.” Jimin noted as he walked over and sat on Jungkook’s lap while his lips curved into a smile. “Keep him there.”
“Taehyung, you need to be calm! Pups know when you're not comfortable.” Yoongi chimed in while Taehyung looked to his side where he watched Yoongi hold a smile and sit afar now. This made Taehyung move in closer as he set Minho over Yoongi’s chest and watched how the pup continued to pout and open his eyes to gaze up at the alpha while the bottom lip into the pout quivered. “A-Ah… W-What do I do now?”
“Burp him.”
“...okay but it's not going to be easy to burp someone's full name.” Yoongi claimed while Jimin started to giggle and cup his own face while he couldn't stop laughing while Jungkook chuckled too.
“No! Yoongi, you have to pat his back gently and wait until he burps!” Taehyung said as he could see the pup still hold his pout like he was a little scared to look up at the alpha that carried him. “You're scaring him, my love.”
“Oh this is so difficult. I've never cared for a pup before.” Yoongi complained as Taehyung set the bib over Yoongi’s shoulder so if Minho burped anything up, he wouldn't ruin Yoongi’s black turtleneck sweater.
“You're doing fine for the first time.” Jimin assured as he kept an eye on each and every reaction Minho made while Yoongi was patting the back of the pup so gently. Only after a a few pats, Minho then let out a small burp while Taehyung couldn't help but to awe over the sound of Minho’s burp.
“Awe… So precious! Did you guys ever notice his small mole on the palm of his hand and the one just on his neck?” The beta asked as he watched Minho drop his small fist over the bib. The feeling to Yoongi was like he was holding a small sack of light flour in his arms while the warmth of the baby spread over his chest. From the small and soft fist of the pup and to the small socks over Minho’s feet that kicked against Yoongi’s chest softly.
“We’ve seen the one on his neck and the one under his small nose, but not the one in his palm.” Jimin answered as he stood up to take a good look at the pup’s hand, but Jungkook suddenly pulled Jimin back over his lap and held him close before making a cute smile. “-AH Jungkook I want to see!”
“What do you mean by we? I've seen the one under his thigh, the one under his nose, the one on the left heel of his foot, the one on his neck and the one on the palm of his hand. You haven't seen all of them after a whole week of his birth?” Jungkook then let out a laugh as he still held his husband close in his arms so gleefully. “You've must've been really tired, babe.”
“The two of you are adorable. I'm surprised you both aren't taking time to sleep while we take care of Minho.” Yoongi said, carrying Minho in his arms while he softly patted the pup’s back and heard another small burp.
“Well, it's hard to leave our pup alone after the first week. Ah, we worry too much. It's our father instincts. Except, Jimin has mother instincts.” Jungkook teased the Omega and listened to his husband let out another sweet giggle.
“You all should show your fans Minho soon. They would love to see him!” Suggested the other Alpha while carrying Minho over his chest.
“Well… We would, but, we had to think about it because before, we wanted to keep him from the world. Then, we thought of things that could happen.” added Jimin as he let out a sigh. “We do want to show him to everyone. We just love our fans… besides, if anyone ever has the nerves to steal pictures of our Minho like digital kidnapping or even one day he's kidnapped, others will know and tell us! It's a good thing actually.” Jimin claimed as Jungkook started to play with the back of Jimin’s blond hair. “Is he too young to do so?” Jimin worried while Taehyung dropped his eyes onto the pup who was already cooing now for Yoongi to stop.
“Today is okay, but you don't need to show all of him. Show a few minutes of him. When he gets a lot older and stronger, he could have people watch him longer. Right now, he's just a little pup that was born last week.” Continued the Beta while silence fell across the room. Everything was silent and still… Just then, Taehyung’s watch started to beep and flash. Making the Beta stand up and switch it off. “Well, I'd love to stay a bit longer, but I have to be on my way to a movie shooting. It's historical romance!”
“Hm, another kiss scene I have to endure…” Yoongi uttered to himself. Taehyung then let out a laugh and looked at his lover with a big smile.
“You're really getting out there, Taehyung. I would do the same, but I have a family so I'm letting you get a head start.” Jungkook teased as he threw his hands behind his head and laid back with a smirk. “Enjoy the spotlight while you still have it.~”
“Ah, no one wants an old dad as their favorite actor.” Taehyung shot back with a tease as he let out a chuckle and walked over to the door.
“Shut it, you're two years older than me!”
“Come on you spoiled brat, help me bring the gifts to the room.” Said the Beta as Jungkook patted the side of Jimin’s thigh to get the Omega to stand up and let him go to bring in the gifts Taehyung purchased for Minho.
“You didn't really need to bring Minho any gifts. Jimin and I were going to buy him clothes.” Jungkook mentioned as he fluffed his own hair and followed Taehyung down the stairs of the top floor to the bottom. At the top floor, Jungkook peered over the rails and gazed at the many gift bags just gathered together on the couch along with a big, white, and stuffed fluffy tiger over the couch like it was thrown there. “...That's too much! We can't accept all of this…”
“No, it was my choice to do it. Don't be humble, accept it and help me take these up to Minho’s room. I'd hate to leave a mess here.” Taehyung claimed as he walked down the steps and suddenly he came to a stop. “Are you giving up on acting, Jungkook?”
“Pardon?”
“You told Manager Xin to send you new scripts of movies that might interest you… But you just won't show up to the shoots. I know you have your pup… But, normally, after a month of taking care of pups, the parents get back to work. Will you? I know I'm just some other actor now and I look like competition to you, but you also have a reputation. Can't get lazy.” Taehyung told Jungkook and stood at the steps while discussing this with the alpha.
“Jimin can't stand me mentioning work around him at the moment. I know I just can't rely on ‘Rujiko’ forever… But my pup and my omega needs me right now. I just hope after a month, I could discuss this with Jimin and just keep my fingers crossed. He's an omega and me leaving him for a while would just hurt him; that's if I really am far from him. I don't want him to raise Minho all alone.”
“Sorry, Jungkook. But this is how fame is. If you aren't out there for a while, another will come around and kick you off. That's not me, I'm slowly making my way up. You just need to claim your spot before you just become nothing but a blooper on a screen.” Taehyung told Jungkook. The Beta didn't tell Jungkook this so he could ditch his family, he only did this because the Beta worried about Jungkook’s career. Even before when Jungkook never even dared to share a role with the older man, Taehyung grew out of the hate he had over the bratty behavior Jungkook learned to lose.
There was the hint of selfishness within the alpha from before; However, Taehyung knew that if Jimin was able to help Jungkook grow out of his picky pampered persona, then he could do it again. After thinking this, Taehyung saw nothing to hold against the young alpha like before; all he saw was nothing but a boy learning to find his way through parenthood like Jimin himself.
