SEVEN MONTHS LATER….

“Here is your soup, hot and spicy, just the way you like it” Taemin giggled, dropping the tray in front of Jimin.

“Stop it. You know I hate this soup” he whined, squeezing his face. The aroma from the soup always made him feel like throwing up. It had a lot of herbs in it and Hana insisted that he must take it every morning.

Jimin was close to labour, it’s his ninth month and he could start getting contractions any minute. Since he was still very young, Hana prepared some local herbs to help him, not forgetting frequent hospital check ups.

“Drink up and stop complaining. You know it’s for your own good” Taemin said, flipping back his hair.

“Is he being stubborn again?” Jungkook came out from the bathroom, wrapped in his robe.

“Yes. He won’t take the soup” Taemin answered and Jimin glared at him.

“No worries, I’ll make him take it. You can go ahead and do other things” he said and Taemin nodded before sticking his tongue out at Jimin and leaving.

“You know how important it is that you take the soup. Are you going to take it or am I going to have to feed you myself?” He asked, sitting in front of him.

Jimin had his legs widely spread out, with the tray between his legs. His baby bump was big, and round and blocked his view most of the time.

“Feed me then” he beamed and he chuckled.

Jungkook took the bowl of soup, scooped a little bit with the spoon and blew on it before feeding it to him. Jimin shuddered and struggled to swallow it.

Jungkook and Jimin grew close in these past few months. Yes, he still had not admitted that he loved him, but he had warned up to him, a lot. He became his biggest support, and he knew deep down that he also had feelings for him.

Jungkook on the other hand, decided not to disturb him with love matters anymore. He just wanted him to give birth to their child safely. He still loved him, infact his love for him grew everyday, he could see it.. they both could.

“Good boy, you finished it” he said and smiled at him.

“I’m never taking that soup again” he gagged.

“Silly. You’re taking it again tomorrow morning” he laughed and Jimin huffed tiredly.

“How is my baby?” Jungkook asked, placing his hand on the baby bump. Jimin smiled warmly and touched his belly too.

“He’s fine” he answered.

“He?” Jungkook raised a brow at him.

“I’m pretty sure it’s a her” he stated.

“No, it’s going to be a boy. I want a son, a handsome boy just like his father” Jimin argued and he caught Jungkook blush for a second.

“You bluntly refused to do a scan to find out the gender, so we’ll keep on guessing” he said.

“Yes, because I want to be surprised” Jimin answered.

“As you wish. But it’s a baby girl” he winked before getting up. He walked over to the closet and pulled out a black suit.

“Are you going out?” He asked.

“Yes, remember the Chinese endorsement from seven months ago? The case is going to be finalized today” he said.

“Wow. Okay” he said and lay back on his pillow.

“I’m going to miss you” he sighed.

Jimin had become very attached to him, he hated the days that he had to travel or go to work.

“You know I’ll miss you too babe” he said and Jimin blushed.

“Do you want me to get you anything on my way back?” He asked, putting on the suit, faster than you’d expect. He remained quiet until he finished dressing up and came to sit next to him.

He put his arm around his neck and kissed his cheek.

“I will be back before you know it. I’ll get you mangoes” he said and Jimin giggled.

“Okay then”

“Take care of yourself, and my baby” he pecked his bump and winked at him before grabbing his suitcase and leaving the room.

Jimin sighed and struggled to get out of bed to use the bathroom. It was a difficult task for him to get up with his pregnancy. It usually took so many minutes for him to stand up. He finally succeeded and walked lazily into the bathroom.

…

Lisa entered the mansion with Jennie, they both wore matching floral gowns and had their hair in ponytails. Jennie had insisted on dressing up like Lisa.

Taehyung and Lisa officially adopted Jennie as their daughter after their wedding, and Jennie finally had the mother she had always wanted.

“Hey fam!!” Lisa squealed, meeting them in the living room.

“Omg.. it’s double Lisa” Taemin gasped and Jennie giggled.

“No hyung, it’s double Jennie” she said.

“Oh, forgive me.. double Jennie”

Everyone burst out laughing.

“What brings you here Lisa?” Hana asked.

“Well, Taehyung had to leave for some Chinese endorsement stuff and we were bored at home. So we decided to come over” she answered and Jimin groaned.

“Tell me about it. Jungkook has been gone all morning!” He groaned again.

“Are you missing your boo?” Taemin teased.

“Look who’s talking! I know you spend nights talking to Tiller over the landline!” Jimin stuck out his tongue and Taemin frowned.

Tiller and Taemin had over the months become good friends, although their relationship wasn’t defined.

“That’s enough, both of you. You act like children” Lisa rolled her eyes.

“But they are just children” Hana shrugged.

Jennie ran over to Jimin and placed her ear on the baby bump.

“Hello baby sister” she said.

“Awwwn” Lisa and Taemin chorus.

“Why does everyone think it’s gonna be a girl?” Jimin groaned.

“Because it has to. I want a baby sister. Boys are a handful. My uncle Taehyung is enough headache” Jennie answered sharply and Jimin gasped before bursting into laughter.

“You’re naughty” Taemin said, joining in the laughter.

“So, who wants snacks? Oven fresh cupcakes!” Hana asked.

“Meeee! I want cupcakes!!” Jennie squealed.

“Common dear, why don’t you help me get them from the kitchen” Hana said as she entered the kitchen with Jennie.

“So, has anyone heard anything from Cheonsa?” Lisa asked.

“Not really. She left after Mina’s funeral and hasn’t shown up since then” Jimin replied.

“Why would she show up? There’s nothing left for her here” Taemin added.

They spent the rest of the day, talking and playing games. It wasn’t until after 6pm that Lisa and Jennie left for their house.

…

.. 8:00pm ..

Jimin was lying on the bed, stroking his tummy and humming a sweet melody, when the door opened slowly and he heard footsteps approaching him. He knew who it was so he continued humming his song.

“Good evening sweet.. you’re still awake?” He asked, lowering his head to kiss his forehead. Jimin smiled and welcomed his kiss.

“Yes, I couldn’t sleep” he answered.

“Why? You were waiting for me?”

“Nope. Waiting for my mangoes” he answered and Jungkook couldn’t help but laugh.

“Ouch” he said and Jimin giggled.

“Well, your mangoes are here” he presented the peeled mangoes to him and helped him get in a sitting position.

“Eat up. I want to take a bath. I’ll join you soon” he said and went over to the closet.

Jimin watched him as he took off his suit, his eyes were glued to his amazing body. He could not stop himself from drooling over the way his body shone under the moonlight.

Jungkook noticed that he was staring and he chuckled. He did not say anything but simply walked into the bathroom while he pounced on the mangoes.

Minutes later, Jungkook came out, wearing his red pyjamas. He climbed into the bed, next to Jimin and watched him finish off the last piece of mango.

“Not even one for me?” He asked, getting closer to him.

“I’m sorry, it was just so good” he sighed.

“Don’t worry, there is still a way I can take my own share” he said, Jimin looked up at him and he was too close, he could feel his breath on his face.

Jimin gulped hard as his hormones ran wild.

“Which other way?” He asked in a whisper. Jungkook snuck his arm around him and pulled him even closer. He rubbed his face against him, slowly and a silent moan escaped his lips. Jimin closed his eyes and enjoyed his touch.

“This way” he said, and crashed his lips on him. Jimin parted his lips slightly for his tongue to slide in. He wrapped his arms around his neck, and kissed him back passionately.

Jimin didn’t realize when a tear fell from his eye. He has been trying to deny the love he had for him, but the truth will always be that he was the best thing that has ever happened to him.
Kissing him only made him realize how much he wanted him.

“You’re right, those are some fuckingly good mangoes” Jungkook said, breaking the kiss. Jimin chuckled.

He noticed the tears in his eyes and wiped them off.

“Tell me, why are you crying?” He asked, Jimin shook his head and looked away.

“It’s nothing, just these stupid hormones” he answered.

“Jimin, I can’t hold it in any longer. I’m heartbroken” he said and turned to him swiftly.

“Heartbroken?” He asked.

“Yes. I love you so much that it’s killing me. It’s killing me that you don’t love me back. It’s killing me that you won’t forgive me for everything I did to you. I’m just asking for one chance to show you that I’ve changed. To show you that no one will love you more than me” he said and Jimin was moved to tears again.

“I’ve forgiven you” Jimin said.

“Really?” His eyes lit up, with hope.

“Yes. I forgave you a long time ago. I forgive you for the pain you caused me and I’m willing to forget” he answered and Jungkook smiled, tears also gathering in his eyes.

“Will you ever love me?” He asked.

Jimin looked away and sighed.

“I knew it.. I knew you’d never love me” he said, sober and hurt. He attempted to climb down from the bed but Jimin held unto his muscular arm and pulled him back.

He wiped the tears in his eyes and asked him to come closer to him.

He placed his head on his chest and caressed his hair. Jungkook lay there like a child, sulking.

“Can you hear the sound of my heart beating?” He asked.

“Yes”

“For a long time, I’ve ignored the fact that this heart has been beating for you. I tried to get rid of the feelings, but it’s still there. I don’t care anymore, it may not be acceptable to fall for your captor.. but I can’t help it anymore” he cried, his tears dropping on Jungkook.

“Jungkook… I love you”

He jerked and looked at him, staring into his eyes.

“What did you just say?” He asked, his heart literally beating out of his chest.

“I love you” Jimin repeated it, still shedding tears.

“Say it again”

“I love you! I love you!! I love you!! I am in love with you Jungkook!!” He yelled and he placed his lips on him.
