Jin heaved a sigh of relief once Ira's song was released. They were currently seated in the meeting room with the solo singer and her team.

When Jin turned to face Ira, he saw the young girl beaming heartily and thanking everyone who had congratulated her. He continued to appreciate the natural beauty with a genuine smile.

When he first saw Ira in the auditions three months ago, he noticed that she had a little dark complexion as compared to Korean standards. He later discovered she was an Indian girl. She was from South India, Tamil Nadu to be precise. She was really talented. Her face was expressive with a beautiful smile and thick, dark, waist-length hair. Her eyes had a similar color to her chocolate brown hair.

Initially, Jin was not sure whether to choose the girl or not, because he knew that Koreans appreciate fair complexion. However, the young girl's innate beauty and talent were enough to persuade him. The girl might be just 168 cm tall, but she was good at dancing as well as singing.

He chose to take the risk because the risk was worth taking. He had to remind people that talent isn't based on skin color or physical appearance. It has nothing to do with looks, but talent.

After noticing that everyone had congratulated her, he finally stood up to congratulate her. "Congratulations, Ira. You have a beautiful voice and I think, we should work on more English songs."

Ira stood up and bowed to the CEO with a nod. She was too overwhelmed by the emotions she was experiencing.

Jin stood up when he noticed their team exiting the meeting room while conversing with one another. He approached Ira after everyone had left and stood in front of her with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry! I made you work hard for the last two months because of my scandal. I had always been selfish but-"

"Sir! Please don't apologize. You have given the best artists to Korea and I'm looking forward to working harder with you." She smiled genuinely displaying her perfectly shaped pearly teeth. Her dimple chin was visible as the corner of her mouth went upwards. Her eyes sparkled when she imagined herself being surrounded by fans and bodyguards.

"Also, I'm a huge fan of your wife." Jin looked down shyly, rubbing his nape, as Ira complimented.

He had to marry Seul-gi not long after their scandal, and he was overjoyed. It had been two months since they had tied the knot.

"Keep it a secret, but I'm a huge fan of her too," Jin mumbled lowly, making Ira chuckle. Ira knew by now that she didn't have to be afraid while she was around Jin. He might be the CEO, but he was fun to be around. 

Ira grinned as she admired Jin even more. She began to miss her older brother, whom she had to leave in India to pursue her career. Jin seemed to be able to fill the vacuum left by his absence.

Taehyung was tightly clutching Jia's hand as they walked down the corridor outside their room. They still stayed in the agency and now Jia was nine months pregnant.

Namjoon had advised her to go for a walk and do some yoga to help her with normal labor. When it was time for her yoga instructor to arrive, Taehyung always accompanied her for the yoga.

Jia, on the other hand, considered herself fortunate to have Taehyung's support. She was also fortunate enough to be able to celebrate Taehyung's birthday the following day. It would be the first time they would celebrate his birthday together.

Taehyung celebrated his first birthday in Seoul while Jia was in Daegu. Then they separated. So officially, this was supposed to be the first birthday together.

"What are you thinking?" Taehyung inquired softly when he noticed Jia deep in her thoughts.

Jia said with a smile, "I'm thinking about what I should gift you tomorrow."

Taehyung sighed dramatically when he stopped in his tracks, making the girl stop as well. "And I thought you must have already bought a special gift." He sighed again, earning a playful smack. "Such a bad wife you are."

Jia rolled her eyes and continued walking, holding her aching back. Taehyung ran to his wife, feeling bad for her when he noticed her holding her back as she walked carefully. He knew her backache had only gotten worse recently.

"No more babies. They bother you so much. They are so naughty like-"

"You! They are always naughty like you. Look at Ji-hu obsessing over Aera all the time." Jia responded with a sigh.

"Well, I love Aera so I'd always support my son." Taehyung shrugged. He was proud to have a smart boy.

"Kim Taehyung, you want a girl so much. Just wait and if it's really a girl, I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction when boys obsess over her." Jia spoke with a smirk when she noticed anger clearly visible on Taehyung's face. He balled his fist and his brows furrowed in anger.

"I won't allow that. No boy would be allowed around her. I'll take care of it." Taehyung spoke through gritted teeth, not liking the thought of boys obsessing over his princess.

The possessive soon-to-be father sighed and mumbled, "I completely forgot that it would be tough to take care of a girl. I'll always have to keep her protected."

Jia just laughed loudly when she continued to look at her husband's expressions. He looked so jealous. 

It then occurred to her. She checked the time on her phone to notice that there was just an hour left for Taehyung's birthday. Her heartbeat increased with excitement. She texted someone and locked her phone before taking Taehyung's hand and walking toward their room, nodding all the way as Taehyung complained randomly about how he would protect his daughter.

On reaching their room, Jia acted like she was tired and wanted to sleep. Taehyung tenderly placed her on the bed and kissed her on the forehead before walking over to the other side and laying beside her. He hugged the girl, putting his head on her chest and placing his hand on Jia's huge round belly.

The baby would kick whenever Taehyung put his palm on Jia's belly, something the father appreciated. It was their way to communicate for the last few months, mostly at night, which calmed both.

Taehyung closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, feeling Jia and the baby's heartbeats.

Not long after, all their friends barged into their bedroom with cake and balloons. Yoongi had Ji-hu cradled in his arms. 

Ji-hu had been sleeping with Jimin or Yoongi for the past two months because his father had to look after Jia and it was becoming difficult to look after the mischievous boy as well.

"Happy birthday~" They all shouted, and Taehyung woke up with a jerk from his slumber, making Jia chuckle. She cupped her shocked husband's cheeks and pecked his lips and forehead before wishing him the same.

Namjoon marched forward, placing the cake on the bed before pecking Taehyung on the forehead like his older brother. "Wishing you a happy birthday, my dear boy."

"Thank you," Taehyung said with a smile as he hugged Namjoon.

Aera, who was being held in Jimin's arms, clapped her hands and smiled broadly. Ji-hu observed it and followed his friend's lead. He had to do whatever Aera did, after all. It was a ritual Ji-hu followed strictly.

Taehyung held Jia's hand and was about to cut the cake when Jia began feeling a sharp pain in her stomach. She screamed, confusing everyone besides Namjoon. He approached Jia and took her hands in his and asked her to take a deep breath.

"Jungkook, take out the car fast. We need to take her to the hospital. Fast!" Namjoon shouted and Jungkook nodded as he ran fast.

Yoona walked ahead and took back the cake from the bed, placing it on the coffee table nearby, while Taehyung sat there observing everything with his wide eyes. Tears began flowing from his eyes when he noticed how Jia was screaming in pain. Jimin was quick to notice his best friend. He passed on Aera to Hoseok and ran towards Taehyung.

"Tae, the baby is coming. Shouldn't you be happy?" Jimin asked sweetly, rubbing soothing circles on his back.

"Jia is in pain." He cried harder in return as he pointed at his wife. 

Their friends were getting clueless about what to do next and who they should keep calm. The couple cried with higher intensity with every passing minute as if they had placed a bet on who cries and scream louder.

"Aren't these two crazy? Who should we look after? Both are crying and screaming." Shin-ah whispered in Song-yi's ear as they stood next to each other. Song-yi shrugged in return and prayed for Jia and the baby's good health.

🥀

Everyone was impatiently standing outside Jia's room, waiting for the news besides Hoseok and Song-yi, who volunteered to stay with the kids at the agency.

Taehyung, on the other hand, was inside the room with Jia, holding her hand tightly as she pushed for the baby. When he saw his wife in pain, tears didn't stop running down his cheeks for even a second. Regardless, he stood by her side.

Jia screamed one last time, scratching Taehyung's hands before delivering the baby. She was sweating profusely and her eyes overflowed with joy when she heard the cries of the baby.

"Note down the time. 1:04 am, 30th of December." Namjoon directed the nurse to take down the information before turning to the couple and congratulating them, saying, "Congratulations! It's a girl."

Jia smiled softly, but she passed out soon after. Before Taehyung could display any of his emotions, he found Jia laying unconscious on the bed.

"Hyung, what happened to Jia? Check her fast. Why did she-"

Namjoon handed the baby to the nurse and instructed her to place her on Jia's chest right away. The nurse placed the baby on her chest, positioning her palm on the newborn's back to keep the sobbing infant in place, while another nurse began cleaning the baby.

Namjoon approached Taehyung and patted him on the shoulder. "She is tired, Tae. It's normal. Calm down."

Namjoon then checked Jia's vitals and smiled when he observed the baby had stopped wailing after receiving Jia's warmth. "Tae, she is fine. Won't you look at your baby?"

Taehyung just shook his head and cried while staring at Jia. Namjoon shook his head at the stubborn male and asked the nurse to wrap the baby and place it in the crib nearby.

The hospital was an expensive one and they were in a special room. The room had a crib near the bed. There were equipment, a computer, and every necessary thing that was needed for the delivery in one corner of the room. That way, the family could get privacy.

Taehyung sat on a stool near Jia like a numb man who was unable to process anything. He felt like he would only be able to breathe once Jia opened her eyes.

Once Namjoon walked out of the room, his friends gathered around him with curious eyes. "It's a girl. Congratulations, guys!"

After hearing the news, Jungkook smacked Jin's arm with a broad smile and said, "Kim Tia is here, hyung."

Jin glared at Jungkook for slapping him but smiled when he noticed Jungkook's big smile, which revealed his bunny teeth. "Yes, Kim Tia has finally come into our little world. Our little princess."

Everyone nodded with moist eyes and hugged each other.

NOTE: I'm not a doctor. So if I've made any mistake with the delivery process then kindly forgive me. It's a fictional story. Please don't take such details to heart.

Also, Kim Tia is here. What are your views?

Don't forget to congratulate the couple 

I apologize for making you all wait for this chapter. But I couldn't mess things up while I write this chapter. I had to watch a few vlogs, talk to my mom to get the pregnancy details, and read some articles. I realized that delivery is different in different countries. So I had to read a lot.

Did you watch the trailer?
Omg! I can't wait for the song. They look so handsome 😭♥️
