24
Things have been a bit more calm every since the night Yoongi slept over. Jimin isn't as nervous to cross paths with the older at school, and Yoongi doesn't seem to be avoiding the smaller anymore. They're still not talking to each other neccessarily, but they will wave or give a short, "Hey" with a smile as they pass by one another in the hallways at the University.
That is progress at least.
The friend group has taken notice of the scaled down tension, but there seems to be mixed feelings between them all about it.
Taehyung and Jungkook are just protective of the pregnant male, so they are a little leery of their blonde hyung getting any closer since he doesn't know about the pregnancy. After everything the pair has gone through, of course they believe that the older has the right to know about his unborn child, but they don't want him to hurt Jimin again, physically or emotionally.
Namjoon likes the idea of all of his friends being able to reunite. Things truly have not been the same. He doesn't remember when the last time they all went out on the town together was. He misses their movie nights and game nights. He also misses Seokjin. He really misses Seokjin.
After how harsh he had been to the older, he's not surprised the oldest hyung has been avoiding him. He hopes that the group reuniting would give him a good opportunity to apologize to the beautiful man. That is, if he ever gains the strength to talk to him again.
Hoseok had some concerns. He and Taehyung are the only two that know the full story of what happened between the two old childhood friends. On top of that, there's the baby. Yoongi is still completely clueless that Jimin is even pregnant. If the two grew closer, he'd eventually find out, which might make everything ultimately crumble all over again.
If Jimin didn't say something soon, things may get even more ugly.
----------
Jimin huffed as he trudged up the steps to reach Seokjin's apartment. This new added baby weight was starting to make it more tiring to walk up a flight of stairs and it's only going to grow worse the closer he gets to his due date. In this moment, he's thankful to have a working elevator in his apartment building.
Being almost 17 weeks pregnant the bump is noticeable without his thick hoodies. Right now while wearing them, it only looks like he's bloated after a large lunch. To the touch, his stomach is hard. There's no denying it then.
He groans at the last step, irritated by how many steps were on that single flight of stairs. He's also cursing how warm his favorite maroon hoodie is right now, as he feels a trail of sweet drip down his lower back.
Seokjin and his parents live in an apartment above their shop, so it makes sense that it's a large stairway, but it's still annoying to the male in his second trimester. His ankles are going to be a bit swollen after this.
Jimin knocks on the doors, as he catches his breath.
"Jimin, hey! I'm glad that you agreed to come over!" Jin grinned enthusiastically once he opened the door to see his crush standing there.
"Well of course I came over! You promised me good food!" The smaller teased as he set his bag down on the living room sofa, after leaving his shoes by the front door.
Seokjin pulled out a tall stool by the bar that overlooked the kitchen, indicating for the younger to comfortably sit down. Jimin gave a sweet smile as he hiked himself into the seat.
Man, the food smelled mouthwatering. It smelled like marinated beef, which is just want Jimin wanted. He's been craving it a lot throughout his pregnancy.
"I've been wanting to cook a nice meal for you for a while" Jin stated as he fried up the meat in a skillet. "You've seen my baking skills, but I've been meaning to show off my cooking skills. They might impress you!"
"At this point I think I'll eat anything! I'm starving!" Jimin joked.
Jin cocked his head to the side, flashing a hint of a smile before turning back around to the stove. As soon as his back faced the younger, his grin faltered.
Namjoon's words from the party were starting to get to him.
Now every little thing the younger did was suspicious. Seokjin noticed how Jimin's eating habits have significantly differed. On top of eating a lot more food, his tastes have changed.
Foods like boiled eggs and fish cakes, which the boy loves, Jimin can't even be around anymore. The smells makes him dizzy or nauseous. He never used to be a big beef eater, but now almost every meal in his diet has beef in one form or another.
He's also noticed how worn out Jimin always appears to be at work and how the boy complains about being on his feet all day.
Seokjin hates that he's letting the tall blonde's words bother him so much, but he has to know the truth and he's going to find out tonight. Somehow.
Jimin set the table as the oldest served up the delicious meal of steak and potatoes, an American classic dish.
Jin cleared his throat as they started digging in. "So Jimin, my parents won't be back home tonight, so would you like to stay and watch a movie or something. I don't know." He itched behind his ear, feeling a little anxious.
The smaller couldn't help but think about his comfy bed waiting for him at a home, but honestly, it's been a while since he's had some fun. Plus, a movie isn't strenuous activity in any sense of the word.
"Sure, why not?" Jimin replied casually with a shrug of his shoulders.
After cleaning up the ultimately fabulous dinner, the two got situated in the Kim's living room. Seokjin popped in Spiderman: Homecoming, then settled right next to the smaller. Jimin didn't think about it for a second when Jin sat so close that their thighs were slightly touching.
Jimin loves Marvel movies, but he found it difficult to stay awake after a long day of classes and work, and a full belly. His eyes felt heavy as they'd close slightly, but he'd quickly catch himself and snap them back open. Eventually, he caved and let himself take a quick snooze.
Seokjin was enjoying a booming action scene when he felt the other lay his head abruptly on his shoulder. The older wasn't going initiate any physical contact so he was taken aback by the younger, but when he peeked over at Jimin, he noticed his eyes were gently closed and his breathing was slow.
This is the perfect opportunity. This is your best chance. He thought, but quickly shook his head.
That would be weird. He should just ask the younger outright instead. But, yet, it's so tempting...
He couldn't help himself. He needed to know the truth behind what Namjoon said. It couldn't be helped when it came to the man he longed to be his lover.
The senior cautiously snuck his arm out from underneath the sleeping male and stretched it over, draping it behind his shoulders, while pulling the boy closer. Then he snuck his hand down, moving his arm around his waist instead.
As carefully as possible, to avoid waking Jimin up, Jin crept his hand up the younger's sweatshirt. He knew this was super creepy, awkward, and just plain weird, but he couldn't care less right now.
If Seokjin thinks back to when Jimin and Yoongi's relationship started to be noticeably unusual, that was about four to five months prior. Which would leave Jimin to be in his second trimester. If the young male feels the need to always wear baggy clothes, he most likely has a baby bump to cover up.
That's what Kim Seokjin needed to confirm.
He softly placed his hand on the snoozing boy's stomach. It was firm to the touch. When Jimin didn't stir, Jin became more bold and cupped his tummy and there was no denying it. The love of his life's stomach was round and with child.
He let out a deep sigh as he kept his hand there. Although he wanted to know that truth, he was really hoping this wasn't the real outcome.
As the older was contemplating what to do with the new found information, he heard a loud gasp and his hand being pushed away.
At Seokjin's touch, Jimin sprang awake and was frazzled to say the least. Being woken up by the other's hand up his shirt was uncomfotable and really disturbing. He didn't understand the motives.
"What are you doing!?" He shouted, jumping up from the couch, feeling a little violated.
Jin held up his hands in defense. "Now Jimin, calm down. I would never do anything like that to you." Jimin looked unconvinced. "I just needed to know the truth."
At that statement, the smaller raised his eyebrows, but quickly grasped what the other was trying to say.
"H-how did you find out?" he whispered.
"Namjoon told me." Seokjin stood and took a step toward the younger. All he wanted to do was pull the younger into his arms, but he knew Jimin wouldn't grant him that right now. The younger looked so terrified and it tore his heart to shreds. "But that doesn't matter right now. I wish you would've told me, Jimin. I would have been there for you and supported you. I had know idea."
Jimin couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Seokjin has been such a good friend to him.
"I was just so scared. I don't really want anyone to know, even though I know they will all find out eventually. D-does Yoongi know? Has Namjoon told hyung?" Jimin timidly asked as he cupped his belly.
"No, I don't think so, but I think Hobi knows too." Jin whispered in response. "Jimin?" He was nervous to say what was on his mind. He still loved Jimin, even if he was carrying another man's child.
Jimin grabbed his bag, getting ready to leave and turned back to look at the older, waiting to here what he had to say.
"I'll be here. Whatever you need, I'll be here. I will help you through this, no matter what."
There was so much sincerity behind Seokjin's voice that Jimin nodded, not fully comprehending all of the meanings behind his friend's words. "Yeah, that would be nice."
----------
Yoongi had had enough. He was done faking. This had to be done.
Kang Sera was over and he couldn't take it anymore. Pretending to love someone he couldn't even tolerate anymore, was too much for the man.
She clung to his side, while she sat on his bed with the television on, acting as mostly background noise. Her usual strong perfume was nauseating him.
The women pressed herself as close as possible, starting to leave kisses on him, starting from his shoulder, up to his ears. Yoongi gritted his teeth harder every time she would leave another kiss.
All of a sudden a certain brunette, petite male flashed in his mind. He thought of his gentle smile as he passed him in the hallways at school. He thought of how stunning he looked when he laughed. He thought of how tiny his hands were compared to his own. He couldn't stop thinking about him, and it made his heart race.
He thought of how his face looked when he blushed. He thought of how he used to gasp at his touch, or how he moaned when he-
No, he shouldn't think like that. Not after everything he has done.
But then another thought crossed his mind. There was Kim Seokjin.
He's been aware of the oldest group member's crush on Jimin since the first day they met. His feelings were so blantant, it was undeniable.
Lately, the older has seemed to have grown closer to Jimin. They always sit next to each other at the lunch table from what he's seen from afar. He's seen the two males leave school together too. Yoongi isn't sure why, but it honestly perturbed him.
Yoongi gritted his teeth even more at the thought.
He couldn't take it anymore.
"Hey, Sera?"
The girl stopped her actions and looked at him, cocking her head to the side in confusion.
"Let's break up. It's over."
