"Chim, I want to be selfish once," Taehyung said abruptly after sitting silently for more than ten minutes.

"What exactly do you mean, Tae?" Jimin questioned him once more.

"There was a time when I asked Jia to abort. This time, I won't let her abort even if she wants to." Taehyung responded, clenching his fist. He wasn't angry if Jia desired an abortion. He was enraged that he didn't want Ji-hu and was on the verge of killing him.

Flashback

Once Taehyung was back from Busan after spending almost 4 days with Jia, he promised himself to just focus on his career and not disappoint his fans.

It had been a month since he was back with his work. He was trying his best to stick to the promise he made to himself until he received a call from Busan that made him rush there within the next few hours.

"Are you sure?" Taehyung asked with a panic laced in his voice.

"Do you really feel like I'd lie? Taehyung the reports are literally in your hand and you talked to the doctor. What will I do? You can't stand there like a doll. Just answer me, what will I do?" She almost screamed which made Taehyung lose his mind. He didn't imagine how his life was giving him some unpleasant surprises.

"Jia, just sit down on that fucking bench and let me think about something. You aren't helping at all. Calm your ass down." He screamed back, which didn't help the said girl either. Her eyes welled up and all she felt like doing was bursting out in tears.

If someone told her a month back that her favorite idol would impregnate her, she would have literally blushed like a young girl and already dreamed about what name she should give to the child. But here she was, crying and feeling worse. 

Her idol literally made her pregnant and she felt so bad. She regretted not buying pills the other day at the grocery shop when they went. 

It wasn't her fault though. They were both too preoccupied with debating the foods or flavors of ice cream to buy for the evening that buying the pills slipped their minds. It was fortunate, though, that Taehyung didn't forget the condoms. 

After that day, they had protected sex, but what was done was done and here Jia was, carrying Taehyung's child. It was 1 month and some 11 days.

"You should abort. Let's take an appointment for an abortion. I can't have a child. Not now at least when I have my career in front of me. No! I worked so hard to get what I've achieved." Taehyung almost begged, shaking his head in terror.

"You worked hard for this too. Shall I remind you how hard you worked for what you did to me?" Jia deadpanned while pointing at her tummy which was still flat.

"Jia, don't be ridiculous. It wasn't like I forced you into anything. Moreover, it was your fault. How could you forget to take pills the other day when we went shopping?" He screamed at Jia, which made her laugh sarcastically.

"You are worse, Tae. Are you blaming me when you should think of a solution right now?"

"I gave you one. Just abort and get over with that thing in your stomach. I won't take care of it."

"Thing? It? Are you kidding me? It's your child, Tae. If nothing, then at least don't call him a thing." Jia suddenly felt protective towards the child in her tummy that was growing peacefully. It was her child after all. Even if it was a mistake, she was still a mother. 

"I won't abort, Tae. If you don't want to take responsibility for your mistake, I'll take it. I'll live with my brother because my mother won't keep me with her anymore once she learns about my pregnancy." She made up her mind. Yes, she was stubborn, but she also got the guts to do as she decides.

"Fine! Do whatever you want. Just don't come running to me when you get in trouble. I won't be responsible." Taehyung warned her one last time and turned around. "Let's go now. I don't want anyone to recognize me in this fucking gynec hospital. I'll drop you off and leave. I'll have to stay in my villa tonight."

If Taehyung had felt unlucky a few minutes ago when in the hospital, he now felt like the world's unluckiest man. 

When they left the hospital, a few journalists were waiting at the door with their questions and cameras to bid them farewell. They had no idea who had notified these news agencies about Taehyung's presence in the hospital, but that wasn't what they were concerned about at the time. All that mattered was getting Jia to her house securely and without leaving any hints. It was weird to find Taehyung in a gynec hospital with a girl when he had a busy schedule.

"What are you doing here in this hospital, Taehyung?"

"Who is she?"

"Are you related to her?"

"Are you both engaged?"

"What is her name?"

"Didn't you have a new song to work on?"

"Taehyung, please answer us."

"Excuse us!" That was all Taehyung said before dragging Jia with him. They both were wearing their masks and he couldn't be more thankful to God for that. At least they can't see the face of the girl behind the white mask whose hand was in Taehyung's hand.

End of flashback

"You certainly put the girl through a lot." Jimin sighed while commenting. His friend was surely an idiot. But he was well aware of Taehyung's current guilt.

Jimin had taken a seat on the bed and motioned his friend to sit in front of him, facing him. "Do you think she would know? I mean, I get where this is coming from. You're not completely wrong, Tae." Jimin held the aforementioned male's hands and rubbed his thumb on them. "In case she doesn't know, how about we keep it a secret? Let her find out after a month. I'm sure she wouldn't want to abort. Her motherly affection would kick in again when she gets to know."

Taehyung sighed, closing his eyes and enjoying the warmth of his best friend's tiny hands on his long ones. "I don't know when things will fall in place. I'm tired, Chim. I'm desperate to start my family with Jia, Ji-hu, and the little one that might come in our lives."

Jimin studied Taehyung's features. He was aware that the younger wanted to go on. He kept his mouth shut and gave him some time in case he needed to express himself. "Now that I think about it, Ji-hu is three years old, therefore now is the best time to have another child. What are your thoughts?" Taehyung giggled at his thought, earning a playful smack on his shoulder.

"Sure! I'll babysit your babies. You continue producing them and I'll help you grow them, right?" Jimin responded sarcastically.

"Sounds like a plan!"

They sure were best friends. One moment, they'd talk about serious topics that were more serious than "How to protect our mother earth" and then act like crackheads the next. That was how strong their bond was. They shared the same brain cells after all.

"I'll help you," Jimin stated, sounding serious again.

Taehyung's eyes twinkled with delight. "How?" He inquired, his voice brimming with excitement.

"You'll see." Jimin winked and hugged his friend, wishing the best for him.
