Chapter 83: Persistent
After a good while after Jimin sat on the bed to contemplate the news of telling Jungkook about their pup, Jungkook was downstairs with his son as he they continued eating cereal together. Since Minho was an alpha, he was able to hear the conversation, but grow clueless because he had no clue to what ‘pregnant' meant. Minho finished the cereal in his milk and looked up at his father to shove his bowl full of milk forward.
“Minho is done!” Announced the pup happily to his father and made a cute smile. But, Jungkook only glided his eyes down to the bowl of milk Minho pushed forward; only wanting to eat the cereal instead of drinking the milk after.
“No, Minho is not done. Drink the milk, Min-Min.” Jungkook ordered. Sliding the bowl back and glaring at the pup into his eyes with a more serious tone until, Jungkook began to smile and chuckle after. This alone allowed the pup to smile and giggle too. “But, I'm serious, my little lion. Drink the milk or else you won't be a big boy like me!” Jungkook persisted as the pup looked down at the bowl of milk and gazed back at his father to shake his head; moving his black silk locks around with each shake of his head.
“Then, Minho will have more chocolate!” Minho tried to convince the older alpha with his cute negotiations and slid the bowl back up. “Minho CAN have.”
“Minho, CAN'T have.” Jungkook bickered and slid the bowl back. “Take it like a big boy, Minho. Milk won't bite.”
“Father!”
“We're not getting up from this table until you finish every little thing on that bowl.”
“MINHO DOESN'T WANT!” Minho shouted in frustration and cupped his own face from how much he refused to drink the remaining milk.
“Ah… Who am I to fight with a three-year-old alpha?” Jungkook asked as he then stood up and picked the pup into his arms to drain the bowl of milk into the sink. Minho smiled to himself; finally getting his way with his father right after. “Don't you ever mention this to your Daddy. I don't want him to get upset that I let you go without finishing the milk.” Jungkook claimed and opened the fridge to take out a bag of small apple slices without the red skin attached to the fruit. “In the meantime, let's just talk-”
“Father, what is ‘pregnant'?” Minho asked with a little struggle to pronounce such words he overheard and began to eat out the bag of small, sweet and juicy, apple slices.
“A-Ah… Where did you hear that word, My little lion?” Jungkook asked and stopped right at the living room.
“Minho heard father say it to daddy! Am.. I pregnant too?!” Minho asked; so clueless to the definition.
“P-Pregnant? No! Of course not! Ah… It's better of your daddy explains it to you soon. I just know you're too young to understand. You're only three! A three-year-old shouldn't be asking this much questions!”
“Minho is smart!” The pup giggled in his father's arms right after as Jungkook let out a laugh. “Minho wants to know what pregnant means!”
“No. Why don't we play a little piano before I go to work?” Jungkook asked as Jimin leaned over the rails of the stairs to gaze at his alpha and son.
“Play me a ballad~” Jimin requested and started walking down the steps of the stairs to watch the two. Jimin wore his blue jeans, beige sweater and white house slides after his shower and telling the good news to his husband about him expecting.
“Daddy! Daddy smells different! Daddy needs to wash up.” The pup bickered and kept inhaling the odd scent from his own father.
“Aw… My own son is telling me I need to wash up even if I already did..” Jimin said and let out a laugh after.
“Maybe Daddy just doesn't know how to wash up good.” Minho shot back while Jimin folded his arms and approached the pup.
“Hey! I don't smell! The scent I give is much more sweeter.” Jimin said and let out a smile after. “It's like vanilla. Ah, Minho! You need to stop being around your Uncle Yoongi. He's a bad influence to my little Min-Min!”
“He's just not used to it. It is a change to your normal scent anyways.” Jungkook commented and placed his hands down on a chord of the piano keys. “How about… we play Mozart's ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’?” Jungkook asked as Minho crawled over his father's lap and giggled happily while looking at the piano keys with excitement. Only then, Jimin sat down next to the two and placed Minho's small hand over to the keys on the right as Jungkook set his hands onto the chords by the left; not really stretching that far away. By there, they began to play the song together with Jimin positioning Minho's small index finger onto the right keys. The song alone couldn't be heard during the time they played on the piano since Minho kept giggling and letting out excited shouts close to shrieks while he heard himself play the song with his two fathers.
“Ah! Minho you need to be quiet.” Jungkook laughed and tried to focus as Minho was now jumping excitedly on his seat until the final key was played; ending the song completely.
“Minho, you need to stay quiet!~” Jimin giggled as Minho smiled at his father and crawled onto Jimin's arms to hug him after. “My little koala~” Jimin cooed and stood up while carrying the pup in his arms.
“Minho will try hard!” The young alpha assured. Jungkook smiled at the two happily and had happy thoughts of the future pup just by looking how close the three alone were. He knew Minho alone would be a perfect older brother to protect his sibling from anyone and it showed. Jungkook just couldn't wait until everything was over so he could make up for the wasted years they spent running from Kyunsji alone. After all these seconds to minutes, hours, days to weeks, and months to years, the family tried their best to live life to the fullest, but it wasn't possible since Kyunsji was always lurking around on the back of their minds constantly. Ruining every thought, every fun plan for a family outage and even safety within their own home. It was to that point where Jimin and Jungkook alone hung onto their high hopes of having peace at the end of the hurricane; however, years later and they still hung on tightly with a little doubt within themselves time to time.
The alpha stood up from the piano stool and glanced at the clock before focusing back at Jimin. He could see Jimin staring at him like he begged him not to go to work again as the pregnant omega carried Minho in his arms. Jimin never liked it when Jungkook would leave him. The older man understood his husband had a job, but at times, he would feel so lonely without Jungkook by his side. Now with Jimin being pregnant, being alone all day would be nothing but torture to the omega. Jimin only wished to stay in his nest while Minho is asleep, just so he could cuddle with his alpha and feel calm and safe. But without it, Jimin felt a little stressed due to being left all alone with a stalker out there; watching his every move.
“Jimin… I have to.” Jungkook responded with a pout to his omega that caused Jimin to sigh and look down at Minho; who was still in his father's arms.
“I know you do. I just thought you would make more time for me now that I'm… You know..” Jimin said as Minho then wiggled off to go play on the piano and try to make a beautiful sound by pressing down on any keys. “Ugh… What am I saying? You have a job.. Please, ignore me on that. Just go.” Jimin sighed after and placed his hands on his hips. “I get so clingy and sensitive during this time… I suddenly feel so bad that you can't spend more time with me.”
“Baby, that's just the pregnancy talking, okay?” Jungkook assured and hugged Jimin from the back to kiss him on his cheek. “I'll come back soon to cuddle with my baby~ in your nest if you want to!”
“AHEM! Minho too!” The pup interrupted and slammed his small hand on the keys to give off a loud and distorted note. Jungkook then glanced back to see Minho squatting on the stool while having his small hand balled up into a fist over the keys of the piano.
“And Minho too.” Jungkook assured and gave Jimin another kiss on the cheek. Just then, there was a knock at the door and none of them were startled. They all expected Manager Xin to come around soon to give them news about Kyunsji's trial and the new updates on getting a bodyguard. Jimin looked back as Jungkook pulled away to answer the door. By the scent given, Minho knew it was the elder and quickly crawled off the piano stool to be able to welcome the alpha in. The young man then approached the door and knocked once to give off a signal while the other side of the door gave off a rhythmic knock like some sort of code between the two. Jungkook made a big smile after and then pulled the door open to see Manager Xin standing there with his usual plaid vests over his white dress shirt, beige coat, black slacks and burgundy house shoes he placed on right at the door before he could step in.
“Good Morning!” Manager Xin greeted as Minho ran up to the elder and bowed with a cute smile once he shot his eyes up at the older man.
“Hello, Grandfather!” Minho greeted and happily moved in to hug the elder while Mr. Xin smiled down at the boy and patted his soft and dark brown, silk, hair. “Minho can play a song!”
“With us being there to play it for him, of course.” Jimin added on and giggled with his arms folded over his stomach. Only then, Mr. Xin caught the scent of the omega and smiled at Jimin.
“Another? Are you...? Oh this is great news, congratulations!” Mr. Xin said happily as Jimin placed a finger over his own lips and pointed at the clueless pup so the elder could keep it as a secret from Minho.
“Tell Minho congratulations too, Grandfather!” Minho added and desperately tried to climb on the elder until Jungkook grabbed him back and threw him over his shoulder. “AH MINHO WANTS TO GET DOWN!!”
“Don't hurt him, Jungkookie! He might throw up!” Jimin worried as Mr. Xin carried a folder from within his coat and showed it to Jungkook. With that being shown, Jungkook's smile faded so quickly as he set Minho down onto the couch and sat next to him. The pup alone giggled and hugged his father tightly from the back since he was unaware of what was happening. He realized that his parents grew silent and sat down on the couch while Manager Xin joined them and set the manila folder containing documents onto the table after.
“Are those… Kyunsji's court files from the trial?” Jungkook wondered as Jimin began to feel anxiety kicking in; believing Kyunsji was found guilty and they lost their battle with the alpha. However, Manager Xin shook his head and smiled after. “So did we win? Please tell me they sent him back to Japan…”
“Not even that…” Manager Xin replied as Jimin began to panic and quickly grab onto Jungkook's arm after. “Sahiro Kyunsji requested for another trial… that request was taken since he couldn't continue and he did have an excuse since he did have a disorder. That trial will be taken months from now.. But he's back behind bars as we speak until the day comes… I swear when I looked at him, he looked around desperately like he was waiting for the two of you to show up. He waited and waited until he was given until the next trial. We covered the many things you filed against him and the part where he killed a group of officers. It'll all be brought up at the next trial which means… He'll face greater charge.” The elder told the couple and Jimin then let out a relieved sigh.
“H-He was waiting for me…” Jimin whispered and held Jungkook's hand tightly while Minho was getting bored from the conversation and dropped onto Jungkook's lap to blow raspberries each time he poked his own cheeks with his small index fingers. “He threatened me that day to drop charges so he wouldn't send ‘him' to go after my son and husband…” Jimin spoke to the elder as Manager Xin rose a brow after. “I didn't want to say a word to the court because I know… He'll send his worst after my family…”
“Jimin, a threat is a threat. He can't reach you here and him having another person in on his plans is a big deal. I'll have it reported and we'll make sure to guard the area for you, Jungkook, Minho and your future you-know-who's safety.” Concluded the man as Jimin kept his hand locked with his husband. “Speaking of safety, I've been looking into this new bodyguard for weeks now and doing the best background check on him. I'm sure you all will find him fitting for this role.” Mr. Xin said and handed the manila folder to Jungkook so he could look into the information on the potential guard for the family. “Just tell me when to bring him over. Then he'll be more than happy to serve you all.”
