“abort the baby?”

Jungkook stood by the window, trying to make sense of the situation. He never imagined in his life that he would become a father by this stage of his life.

The thought of having a baby with Jimin gave him mixed feelings. He didn’t know whether to be happy or angry about it. What if the baby belongs to Tiller? Both of them are in a relationship, aren’t they?

He groaned at the thought of Tiller taking Jimin away from him. He had to clarify things. He had to know if the baby belonged to him or to Tiller. Perhaps a DNA test?

Jungkook made up his mind to leave for the hospital the following morning before Jimin aborts the baby.

.

Jungkook entered the lobby and had a talk with the nurse who directed him to Jimin’s ward. On getting there, he was shocked to see Tiller there already, holding Jimin’s hand. He wanted to go in there and punch his teeth out, but he decided to control his anger and listen to their conversation instead.

“I have to go back to Jeju-Do now. I’m not sure when I’ll be back but I’m hoping that Jungkook must have freed you by then” Tiller said, caressing Jimin’s palm. That act only made Jungkook’s heart boil. He couldn’t stand to see another man so close to Jimin..

“Please Tiller, take care of yourself and stay out of trouble” Jimin forced a smile, staring into Tiller's eyes.

“I will” he nodded.

“I also wanted to apologise”

“For what?” Jimin raised a brow at him.

“It’s because of me that Jungkook punished you a month ago.. because he thought I was sleeping with you” Tiller sighed.

“You don’t have to apologise for what you didn’t do” Jimin cooed, caressing his hair lovingly.

“Yeah but still, it landed you in the hospital back then. I’m sorry”

“It’s okay. I’m going to miss you. I wish Jungkook was more like you, loving and gentle” he smiled wholeheartedly and that left a hole in Jungkook’s heart.

First of all, he was wrong about Tiller and Jimin being intimate with each other. And secondly, Jimin is pregnant for him but he doesn’t like him at all.

“I’m going to miss you too. I should get going” Tiller stood up, arranging his suit.

“Already?” Jimin pouted.

“Yeah, my flight is in thirty minutes. I’ll ask Lisa to give you her phone to communicate once in a while” he smiled at him and he nodded.

“Okay. Goodbye Tiller” he said, adjusting his bandaged arm.

“I love you..” he said and kissed his cheek before heading out. He was shocked to see Jungkook standing by the door, with an undescribable expression on his face.

“Cous” he called playfully.

“You’re going back to Jeju-Do?” Jungkook asked, raising his brow.

“Yeah, are you gonna miss me?” Tiller teased and Jungkook scoffed.

“Not a chance” he answered and Tiller chuckled.

“I’ll miss you too, and our little fights” Tiller said.

Little fights indeed! A fight that almost cost their lives!

He gave Jungkook a pat on the shoulder and walked away. Jungkook watched him leave and was glad he did. The space and distance would be good for everybody.

Jungkook took a deep breath before walking into the ward to meet Jimin. He was staring at the ceiling when he came in. It was the scent of his cologne that signified to him that he was around. He had no idea how his brain registered the scent of his cologne.

“What are you doing here?” He asked, without even looking at him.

“Jimin, I want to talk to you” he said, moving closer to his bedside. Jimin glanced at his handsome face and sighed.

“Well I don’t wanna talk to you” he said.

“I know you’re angry with me, it’s justified. I did shoot your arm” he said, looking at his bandaged arm.

“Yeah so?”

“But it’s not enough reason for you to abort my baby” he said and Jimin turned his head swiftly to look at him, in shock. He didn’t want him to find out.. ever!

“I.. I.. don’t know what you’re talking about” he sniffed back the tears that threatened to fall.

“You know exactly what I’m talking about Jimin. You are pregnant. Not only did you hide it from me, you’re planning to abort it!” He half yelled and Jimin winced.

“So?!! Why do you care? Why do you care what I decide to with my child?!” Jimin yelled at him and tried to sit up forcefully but his wound wouldn’t let him and he yelped in pain.

Jungkook rushed to him and held him, making him relax on the pillow again.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

“Don’t act like you care Jungkook! I know you don’t. Yes, I know your terrible childhood turned you into what you are today, but I also know that you don’t care about me. So I’m going to do whatever I want with my child” he explained, both of them locking eyes.

“It’s my child as well. I do have a say in whatever happens to it” Jungkook insisted and Jimin groned.

“What are you even saying? I am a slave Jungkook. Nothing but a mere slave. Of what use would my child be to you?” He asked with eyes full of regret, pain and misery.

“Taemin told me stories of how you made the other slaves you had to get rid of their babies by abortion. So why would you care about me?” He asked as the tears ran down and dropped on his pillow.

“Because you are different!” He yelled, passing his fingers through his hair in frustration. He didn’t know how to describe what he was feeling, he didn’t know how to tell him how much he has come to mean to him.

“Different?”

“Yes Jimin. I cannot explain it but you are different. And I won’t let you get rid of my child”

Jimin seemed to feel butterflies in his stomach everytime he said “my child”. Has he really accepted responsibility of the baby?

“You’re kidding. What about Mina huh? Your wedding is on the day after tomorrow. What are you going to tell her huh?” He asked.

“I don’t know, but I’m calling off the wedding for now”

“What?”

“You can’t call of your wedding for me!”

“For you Jimin, I am now prepared to do anything.. anything it takes to make you see that I regret my actions towards you” he said and took his hand.

Jimin watched in awe as those rare words came out from his mouth. He couldn’t believe it.

He must be dreaming!!

“I’m calling off the wedding until further notice” he said with a note of finality and Jimin kept staring at him.

What exactly is wrong with the man in front of him?

Sometimes he hates him, sometimes he treats him like a precious thing!

“Are you serious about that?” Jimin whispered.

“I don’t make jokes” he simply replied.

“As long as you reconsider, do not abort my baby” he added and his heart fluttered.

.

Jimin panicked as all eyes were on him. Everyone was gathered in the living room to welcome him, as soon as he was discharged from the hospital.

It wasn’t the stares the he was getting that scared him, it was the news that Jungkook was about to break to everybody. He glanced at Mina who was seething at the far end of the room, with Cheonsa beside her.

“I have an announcement to make” Jungkook started and everyone murmured amongst themselves.

“Um.. Mina, I’m sorry but the wedding won’t be taking place anymore.. till further notice” he dropped the bomb and gasps filled the room.. Jimin scratched the back of his head and looked down at his worn out sandals.

“What!?” Mina shrieked, walking up to meet Jungkook.

“What are you saying? You’re joking right!?” She asked, scared and angry at the same time.

“It’s my decision Mina. I can’t marry you” he added. She seemed to blow up.

“No!! You can’t do that to me!! Why are you doing this?!” She squealed, already shedding tears. Cheonsa watched her best friend in pity. It looked like the same fate had befallen both of them.

“Look Mina, pull yourself together, I know it hurts”

“You don’t know anything Jungkook! How can you do the to me?!”

“I don’t know what else to do. I can’t let my child be without a father” he said, dropping another bomb that made everybody’s jaw drop.

Taemin peeped at Jimin who nodded at him. Taemin couldn’t wait to ask Jimin so many questions.

“What do you mean?” Mina asked, looking at Jimin and hoping it’s not what she’s thinking.

“Yes Mina. I’m going to become a father. Jimin is pregnant with my child” Jungkook announced and Mina collapsed.
