"Oh, Jimin! Look at this!" Taehyung was beaming as he ran across the store. The mentioned male followed slowly behind the other pushing their shopping cart, although Taehyung seemed to be the only one doing all the shopping. Jimin just wanted to go home and take a nap, maybe eat a burger and fries first. The pregnant boy is starving.
Once Jimin caught up to his friend, he saw what has made him so excited. Taehyung had lured him into the baby section. His roomate had a goofy grin on his face as he held up an adorable, tiny onsie with teddy bears on it. "Look Jimin! It's so cute!"
The younger put the teddy bear onsie down just to pick up another baby outfit. "Awww Jimin, come on! They have baby overalls!" He ran over to another table of clothes. "Oh! And little footie pajamas with little, pink kittens! Aren't they adorable?" He asked, shoving the pajamas in Jimin's face.
"I thought the point of coming here was to look for clothes for you. Why are we in the tiny people clothes?" Jimin questioned, trying to steer Taehyung away from the baby section.
"You're no fun!" The younger roomate pouted as he put the pajamas back on the shelf. He picked up a baby hat sitting on a shelf close by. "Besides, it doesn't hurt to look at this stuff now. You're going to have to buy this stuff eventually~" Taehyung sang as he kept sifting through all of the little clothes.
Jimin sighed. He didn't want to have this conversation here, but his roomate should probably know exactly how he's feeling about this, especially since he's not supposed to be keeping secrets anymore. It hadn't come up in their heart to heart the other day. Taehyung appeared to be having fun browsing through all of the baby items, so the older felt bad that he was about to ruin his excited mood.
He cleared his throat trying to catch Taehyung's attention. The younger didn't seem to notice and continued down the aisle, whistling while he shopped. "Um Tae?" he spoke.
"Hmm?" Taehyung responded, not fully paying attention.
"I don't know if I want to keep it" Jimin admitted softly, but the younger seemed to have heard it. He instantly turned around with wide, alarmed eyes.
"What?" Taehyung asked, hoping that he had heard his roomate wrong.
Jimin gulped, a little nervous. "I don't think I want to keep the baby" he repeated. "I mean, I haven't really decided yet." He scratched the back of his head, avoiding the younger's eyes.
Taehyung placed a hand on his hip and raised his eyebrows. "Jimin, you don't mean that. Think about it some more before you say something like that. It's a huge decision that you can't make little of. It's a baby. You may regret it someday." The last sentence came out more hushed.
Jimin sighed. "I know that Taehyung. I'm not going about this without thinking, I promise. I just-" he took a deep breath before he continued, lowering his voice in case there were any wandering shoppers close by that would hear. "I'm only 20 years old. I'm a lousy college student that has no idea what he wants for the future, and I don't want an unplanned baby to hold me back from the chance of having a bright one" he voiced honestly, but the younger narrowed his eyes at Jimin.
"Jimin that's so selfish. That baby won't even have a future if you take his life away before it even starts" Taehyung was clearly getting upset as his voice rose. "And what about Yoongi? I know you aren't talking to him right now for good reasons, but you should probably tell him about the baby before you just go and end it! He'll never get to know that he could've been a father!"
Jimin has heard enough at this point. "Really Taehyung? You're going to call me selfish? After everything I've been through, don't you think I deserve to be a little selfish for once? And Yoongi? Yoongi doesn't get to have an opinion when it comes to this baby. He wouldn't want anything to do with it anyways!" There were tears in Jimin's eyes at this point. This is why he was scared to bring it up. He needs to get away from here and clear his head.
He turned away from the other, leaving Taehyung behind, and stormed off. He could see that the other had a guilty expression before he left, but right now, he doesn't care about that.
Taehyung knew better than to follow Jimin at the moment. They both needed a few minutes to calm down. He went to buy a few of the clothing articles that he picked out for himself and went to search for the pregnant male. He wasn't too hard to search for since he went straight to the food court.
He found his roommate stuffing his face with a giant cheeseburger. He sat down in front of him cautiously, but the older didn't reject him. "You know you get sick every time you eat beef lately." Taehyung stated.
"I know, but it sounded so good. And I'm hungry!" Jimin pouted after swallowing a big bite.
Taehyung just cooed at how adorable his friend was and reached across the table to interlock his fingers with the other's burger-free hand. "Jiminie, I'm so sorry."
Jimin set his burger down and looked up at his friend, his soulmate. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have yelled and left you there. I just needed you to see my perspective. This is my decision to make."
Taehyung squeezed the hand he was holding, "I know that. You're right. Let's go back to the apartment, pop in a movie and cuddle, okay?"
Jimin smiled, relieved that their argument was over. "Okay, but let me finish my burger!"
—————
Taehyung never brought it up again, which was a relief for Jimin. He didn't want to argue with his roommate anymore over something that was ultimately up to him, but Jimin could tell that it still bothered the younger. He had been a little distant the past couple of days, especially after Jimin set up an appointment for a consultation at the Planned Parenthood clinic.
Jimin got his bag together that had all of his doctor's information, his health insurance card, and anything else they would require at the meeting. He was nervous to step out into the living room because Taehyung and Jungkook were hanging out in there. He hoped that with Jungkook being there, the other wouldn't start anything, but of course that wasn't the case.
"Jimin, please don't go. Trust me, I know you're going to regret this" he tried, standing up from the couch when Jimin entered the room. "I've been holding back the past couple of days, but I have to try and stop you at least one more time."
The oldest in the room paused, looking from Taehyung to Jungkook, hinting for him to shut up. Taehyung seemed to catch on. "He knows already. Not everything, but he knows you're pregnant and that it's Yoongi's. He knows not to say anything to the others. I'm sorry. I can't keep secrets from him very well." Taehyung apologized as he scratched the back of his head. Jimin scowled at him.
"I'm gonna be late if I don't leave now, so I gotta go" Jimin walked forward toward the door, but he didn't get very far because Taehyung stepped in front of him.
"I'm serious Jiminie, don't go through with this. If you do, you will regret never telling Yoongi about it. You'll have to carry the burden completely alone."
Taehyung was tearing up now. His voice raised a little. He needed to get his point across. At this, Jungkook stood up now, watching his boyfriend with a concerned and confused expression. "You'll never get to know who they looked more like, what their personality could of been like. You'll spend every day trying to push the thought and memories out of your mind, questioning if you really made the best decision for yourself."
Jimin was pissed now. What right does Taehyung have to be saying any of this? He's not in Jimin's situation. He doesn't understand.
"Taehyung enough," he growled. "You don't know anything. You don't know what it's like to be in my shoes." Jimin raised his voice to match Taehyung's. "You think you know everything, but you don't!"
"I know more than you think I do!" Taehyung yelled, tears streaming down his cheeks now.
"How Taehyung? How could you possibly know what it's like to go through something like this?" Jimin used an accusatory tone back at him in disbelief.
"Because I went through with it before!" the younger shouted.
Jimin's eyes widened at his friend's confession, and the room went eerily silent.
The two roomates just stared at each other, chests rising and falling from their heavy breaths. Jimin blinked a few times, utterly confused by what the younger said. There was a sniffle heard behind the younger, causing Taehyung to snap at out of it. His eyes widened as if he just realized what he had just admitted aloud for the whole room to hear.
He quickly whipped his head around, horror crossing his face. "K-kookie?"
"What did you just say Taehyung?" The younger boyfriend whispered, as tears trickled from his eyes at the realization. "I thought it was just a scare?"
Taehyung took a step toward his boyfriend, but Jungkook took a step backward, warning the older not to come any closer. "Kook, I'm so sorry." Taehyung clenched his eyes shut, as she shook his head back and forth, tears barely escaping his eyelids.
Jungkook wiped tears with the back of his hand, his look changing from sadness to anger, and he scowled at the older. He couldn't hardly stand to look at Taehyung at the moment. "How could you not tell me about this Taehyung? I thought we were partners in everything."
Taehyung pulled at some strands of his hair. He couldn't think at the moment. "I don't know."
"I guess you're actually pretty damn good at keeping secrets from me." Jungkook scoffed as he dashed toward the front door.
"No! Jungkook, wait! Stop!" he pleaded. "Please, give me some time to explain!"
Jungkook couldn't stand to even look at the older at the moment, so he slammed the door behind him, causing the other two males to flinch.
"Tae?" Jimin said, causiously checking on the older after the room fell silent once more.
The younger shook his head. "Please don't talk to me right now," he whispered behind gritted teeth. He grabbed his keys and chased after his boyfriend, letting the door slam behind him again.
Jimin let out disgruntled sigh and paced to his bedroom, locking himself inside. He knew his roomate doesn't blame him for the fight with Jungkook. He was upset, but that didn't make Jimin feel any better about the whole scenario.
Now he was going to miss his consultation. He has a lot more thinking to do.
