Replacement [Jikook ff] ✅

Part 4

Jimin's POV

Is this really happening?

Feeling unnecessarily unwell during work today, I decided to take half day off to get myself to the clinic.

And this was not the result I expected at all.

"Mr. Park, is your partner opposed to this?" the doctor asked, and I wasn't sure if they were allowed to ask about this info, but there's no need for me to hide it from her.

She might only be concerned by my soulless reaction.

"We just - we just broke up," I said, quite troubled to find the right word to describe my situation right now, but I guessed my answer was sufficient for her.

The doctor immediately gave me a sympathetic smile and I smiled back, filled with pain.

I had cut all my ties off with Jungkook last month, after my last visit at his house.

And now I have a seven weeks old baby growing in my tummy.

Jeon Jungkook's baby.

I made sure I took the pills as advised, but I guessed this was just my fate.

"Whatever your decision on this, please do consult with the right experts," she advised, and I nodded with a small forced smile tugged at the ends of my lips.

"Thank you, doctor"

"You're welcome,"

Getting out of the room, I contacted my team leader to inform her on this.

"Mrs. Oh, may I take a week leave starting from today?" my voice was calm, and I almost couldn't even recognize my voice from how calm and undisturbed it was.

"We're not so busy, so there should be no problem. But may I know the reason?" she asked, being a considerate leader as she always was.

"I just found out that I'm pregnant. And I just broke up with my boyfriend so I need to go back to my hometown and discuss this with my parents," as I said it myself, the words slowly sank in my head.

I'm pregnant.

"Oh my, Jiminie. Do you want me to keep this from anyone?" she asked in concern, and I blinked at her question.

Keep this away from them?

Why would I?

Did she think that I'd -

"No, it's okay. I - I want to keep the baby, so it's okay if the team knows. I just need to let my parents know on this matter," I informed, directly telling her that I have no intention of getting rid of the baby.

I'm not killing this little bean for something I did.

"I see, I'm so glad you want to keep the baby. And I'm sorry for getting a wrong idea, Jimin. Get a good rest, okay?"

"Thank you,"

Ending the call and taking deep breaths to keep myself composed, I was kind of grateful that my overall team consisted of understanding people like her.

Jungkook's POV

Walking out of the restroom and making my way back to the meeting room, I overheard a name that I haven't heard of for a month now.

"Jimin took a week leave?" a male's voice was heard from Jimin's department, and I believed that it's one of his colleagues asking.

"Yes, he's going back to his hometown," a lady's voice was heard answering, sounding a lot more matured than the male.

The head of department, maybe?

"Why though, so sudden like this?," the same guy commented, but the next thing I heard shocked me to the core.

"He's pregnant,"

"What?!" a few voices shouted at the same time and I held in my breath to continue hearing about this.

"Yes, and he had broken up with his boyfriend so he wants to discuss with his parents about the baby,"

"Oh my goodness, so that's why he looked so pale these few weeks. Is he okay?" one of her female colleagues said, and I felt heavy in my heart.

"I'm not sure, but he sounds fine through the call,"

"Should I give him a call?" the male colleague asked, and I was somehow relieved when I heard the lady who informed on Jimin's situation stopped him.

"No Yugyeom, let him rest. He needs to talk to his parents, it's better to give Jimin some space to relax,"

"Ugh, I promise I'll be a better colleague to him when he comes back," the Yugyeom guy told, and I quickly fished my phone out from my pocket.

The conversation continued but I wasn't focused on it anymore.

There's only one Jimin in this team, right?

The same Jimin who I knew.

Park Jimin.

He got pregnant?

Unlocking my phone and dialing his number, I cursed under my breath when no one picked up the call.

But before I could redial his number for the second time, a call came in from my secretary and I had to answer before he freaked out.

"Where are you?" Hoseok asked curt, like he always did when we're at work.

"I got stomach ache, can we cancel the rest of today's schedule, hyung?" giving him the most logical reason since I was way too long with my toilet break, I was sure that he would never question too much.

"Is it that bad? We don't have a lot of things left today, let me check if we can postpone the last one in your schedule to tomorrow," he easily agreed, and I sighed in relief at how smooth this was going.

I need to get to him before he went back to his hometown.

"Thanks, hyung"

"I'm already at the car by the way," he informed and I quickly make my way, leaving Jimin's department.

"Alright, I'm coming,"

Walking to the car and smiling politely to everyone who greeted me, I quickly got into the back passenger seat and focused on texting Jimin.

"Do you need medicines?" the male asked, and I shook my head, knowing that he'd looked at me through the rear-view mirror.

"No, I have it at home. Please take me home so that I can rest," closing my eyes trying to prevent Hoseok from getting suspicious, I kept holding my phone in my pocket so that I'd immediately be notified on any messages coming in.

"Sure, your schedule tomorrow will be packed. Make sure to rest well, but if you're still not feeling well, let me know"

"Right, thanks again hyung"

"No problem,"

As soon as he sent me home, I waited for a solid five minutes to make sure that Hoseok won't be in my residential area anymore.

I drove to Jimin's house since he won't even answer my calls or even read my texts, wanting to meet him and confirm the news.

And just as I arrived, I saw Jimin getting out of his car.
