"Are you sure about this, Tae?"

"Very sure."

"Then you go first."

"Of course not, omegas first."

"Oh, please, I insist."

"I insist too.  Go ahead, honey."

"What's all that scandal?  Come in once!"

Both alpha and omega flinched at the commanding voice of Mister Kim.  They both went through the gate that they were so afraid to go through and entered the house, where their parents were quietly waiting for them, gathered at the Jung house.

There was a slight bustle in the room, strangely welcoming.  Mrs. Jung, a beta with tired eyes and a kind smile, was chatting with Mrs. Kim, an omega with a graceful bearing despite her age.  Mr. Jung, another beta, listened intently as he made comments from time to time.  Both families felt comfortable together, as they were friends for a long time.

"Ahem" Taehyung cleared his throat, making all eyes fall on him. "You all are wondering why we have gathered them here ..."

"Get to the point, Taehyung," his mother asked impatiently.

"I ..." Hoseok's voice was brimming with insecurity.  Taehyung took his hand slyly, encouraging him to continue.  "I am pregnant"

There was a moment where surprise was the only thing that could be distinguished on the faces of both families. Hoseok and Taehyung feared the worst.

"Son," his father spoke in a stern voice.  The graying old alpha still made him shiver.  "Congratulations."

"W-what?" Taehyung expected everything from his father, except a congratulation.

"You will be a father.  It is something to celebrate."

"They will be parents," Mrs. Jung corrected.

"Although I think they are still a bit young."

"Quiet, Jae, both are already adults" the beta stroked the shoulder of her husband  They are already twenty-four years old, they can already have responsibilities.

"Aren't they angry?  Or disappointed?" Hoseok swore he felt tears come out of his eyes.

"Not at all," replied Mr. Kim, who took his son's shoulder and whispered to him.  "If I'm honest, I got your mother pregnant when she was your age."

The next few minutes consisted of the parents congratulating, and giving advice to the couple on what it would be like to have a puppy.  Finally, Hoseok's mother invited everyone to eat what she had prepared hours before.  They all knew she cooked delicious, so they didn't refuse.  They sat at the table and enjoyed Mrs. Jung's exquisite dinner as one family.

And, in a way, they were.
