"Jimin, go get some aspirins from the nurse"

"I'm Ok, I- "

"Not for you dumbass, I need it to calm down the headache"

Hoseok obviously had a hard time to absorb the whole picture of this current unbelievable situation. He kept massaging his temple while Jimin was drowning the sore and bruised man with overflowing questions. Both of the younger could not even comprehend how their hyung could be so stupid to boldly jump into the scene when he himself still having a little bit of uncertainty about the truth.

"How - Ok - let's take it slow - Are you sure that it's yours? I mean, we just teased you about that clawed mark. It's supposed to be an idiotic joke. It might be just a scratch of your own nails. You don't even remember a single thing about that night. Moreover, you said that you woke up fully dressed. I mean - I don't know if you're that kind of man who just simply zipped down your pants and nonchalantly do the-"

"Jimin, just - just shut up and gimme that damn aspirin" Hoseok waived and gave out his hand to reach the pills before swallowing it without a single drop of water. This is too much to take. Hoseok grumpily thought as he leaned his back to the chair. Glanced to the lifeless guy whose face covered with different size of patched, he could only grimace and promise himself to not deal with any alcoholic beverage with the same way as he did before.

"I understand that you might have your own justify about this, but you can just talk and confirm it first with her before throwing yourself to the angry dad. That would be wiser tho" Hoseok said carefully. The guy just nodded and let his swirling head rested on his hands. "I know - it's just"

Sigh "Don't worry, we'll help you go through this. Just take a rest first. Don't go out this room till we come back this night, Ok?" Hoseok gave a reassuring smile as he patted Yoongi's slumped shoulder. "You guys leave?"

"Dude, don't give use those creepy puppy eyes. And yes we're leaving or else our office would be a mess if we don't take a look to those sugar rushed trainees" said Jimin who started to wrap himself with his puffy bomber jacket. With the last comforting smiles, the two younger guys left the room and let Yoongi being consumed by silence.

Restless and fidgeting on the crumpled bed, his depressed mind did not get better as he remembered how weak Soomin looked was. Is it because of the.. pregnancy? He was feeling so nervous about the word, even when he just had it in his head. Couldn't stand the anxiety, he ignored Hoseok's command to stay still in the room by bringing himself down from the bed. Put on some slippers this time, he slowly walked out and placed his pale hand on the cold doorknob of her ward.

He flinched and almost shit his pants when the knob suddenly being moved from the inside. He never thought that a cracking sound of the opening door would be scarier than some certain horror movies he ever watched till he heard it this time. Tried to not run back to his room, he bit his bottom lips and waited anything or anyone who came out from her ward.

"Yoongi?"

Relieved, his tensed figure was relaxed a bit when he saw Mrs.Kim tired and surprised face instead of Mr. Kim's. He bowed silently and kept his apologetic gesture for a moment till he felt a gentle rub on his hair. "Want to see her?" Yoongi instantly jerked his head up. Before he could say anything, Mrs. Kim grabbed his hand and ushered him in.

There she was, sleeping peacefully like a kid who had a long-hard day at school. He wanted to hold her hand but he was afraid that he would wake her up. He was jittery on his foot as he wasn't sure what he should do at the moment. "She's fine now, she just need a lot of bedrest" Mrs. Kim said while lightly brushing her daughter hair from her forehead.

"Oh" He said.

"Can we talk?" Mrs. Kim asked as she walked to the sofa at the other side of the room. Yoongi nodded and followed her awkwardly. "I won't interrogate you, but, can you be honest about the truth?" She started which made Yoongi furrowed. "Is it.. really yours? Or you said so to help her? You now yourself that you have high tendency to always protect-"

"It's mine Mrs. Kim. I - I really am sorry, but I'm the one that-" he sighed and shut his eyes closed while hanging his head low. He really could not look at Mrs. Kim in the eyes because of how disappointed her was. Her face showed how felt betrayed she was with his irresponsible and reckless acts.

"Ah, put aside the bad part. I'm kinda relive that it was you"

Almost snapped his own neck, his eyes were widened when he looked up to her who was now leaning her back to the sofa. "I can't even imagine how could she deal with this unexpected situation if she was with someone else. You know how lightheaded she is. Up to this morning, she was totally oblivious about the change in her body till she was collapsed at her office due to the exhaustion. With all of the pressures she got from works and how ignorant she was with her own diet habit, the poor baby inside her undoubtedly threw a protest and knocked her out."

Baby inside her. Somehow his heart fluttered by hearing this. It tingled his spine as he kept chanting the words over and over again.

Sigh "Look at your flustered face, I bet you did not expect it either. Let her rest for now, I'll call you over when she wake up. By the way, are you sick?" Mrs. Kim scanned the boy thoroughly as she just realized that he was wearing the same hospital's pajamas with her daughter.

"Just happened to have the same case with her" he glanced at the still sleeping Soomin. "Overworked.." he simply added. There was no way he would tell her about him being knocked out by her passed son. At this point she might have fainted as well.

"You, young kids, how could you dare to make one when you can even take care of your own body"

He chocked. Speechless.

How am I supposed to response?

Then he heard a rustled sound. She's awake? He froze at his seat, not brave enough to confirm it but couldn't help to turn around when he heard her heaved a heavy breathing. "Any pain?" He approached her in a rush with a panic and worried expression plastered on his face.

Soomin blinked and stayed still over the sudden presence of him at the side of her bed. "Hey, do you need a doctor?" Yoongi added.

"Talk slowly, I'll leave you two alone. And no need to worry about my husband. He's busy with the list of food and nutrition doctor made for Soomin and the baby. Perhaps right now he's rummaging the nearest market to find it all. He's a father after all." She said as a genuine smile painted her exhausted face.

Click.

The door was closed from outside.

"What are you doi-"

"Why did you just leave without a word?" Yoongi cut her out. He just wanted to clear things up. He had had enough to have another argument with her.

"And how did you even get out of the hotel room?" He added, earning confused huh from Soomin. "Didn't I.. rip your shirt apart?" He said while trying to read the other expression.

He almost shout out a victorious cries when he caught her flustered, blushed and stuttered. "Wha- what the fuck are you t-talking about?!"

A ghost of smile helplessly showed up at his lips. So, it's real. He mentally thought.

"Don't you find it unfair? I mean, for you to do that to me, Ms. Kim?" His voice was gentle as he slowly moved closer to her tensed petite body. "For you to easily and consciously figure out all of my weakness in one single night while I was in a total oblivious state, I don't think it's fair for my side."

He got nothing as a feedback but he gasped when he saw her brushed her teary eyes with the long sleeves of her clothes in upset way. "Stupid mood swing" she muttered lowly as she couldn't help but to feel a non stop mixed feeling of sad, anxiety, angry and other depressing mood since she saw his face right after she woke up.

"Hey, I-I didn't mean to-"

"Don't touch me!" She yelled as she tossed his hand from hers.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry" He chanted those words over and over again while slowly caressing her shaking shoulder. She's still hiding her face in between her hands, trying to hide her helpless sensitivity from him, but it was failed when her sobs was getting intense.

"Hey, Hey, it's ok. Just cry if you want to"

"I don't want to but this hormonal mood never stop to make me feel depressed!"

And she was crying like a baby.

Is it the effect of pregnancy? He gulped.

Minutes had passed. Yoongi silently rubbing Soomin's back while watching her sobbing and snorting messily. For most of people, they would find it hilarious, but for Yoongi, it was adorable.

"Why are you smilling?! Are happy to see me like this?!"

He was supposed to flinch over the bark, but instead it just made his smile even wider. "I am" he said.

"You son of-"

"Times up! Papa bear is already heading this way" Mrs. Kim said while bursting into the room in a rush.

The warm and gentle smile on Yoongi's patched face immediately turned into horror expression as he knocked down the chair with the back of his leg.

Chu.

Soomin startled and out of word when he pecked her forehead nonchalantly while saying. "See you later!"

And he disappeared.

"I seriously don't know whether I should be happy or angry for both of you" Mrs.Kim trailed her thought as she stared at her blushing daughter.

"Kim Namjoon, is that a happy tears on your eyes? "

"You wanna die?" Namjoon deathly glanced at Seokjin as he secretly brushed the corner of his eyes with his thumb.

"I'm off" he coldly added, walked out and left the chuckled man alone in his room to happily enjoy his tea.

"Ah, what a nice day. I wonder what the brother is doing right now"

He hummed and enjoyed his ginger cookies with such a mood. He was indeed happy today.
