Third person point of view

Taehyung woke up from the knock in his door. He groggily stood up to open it to see Mr. Jeon. His sleepiness suddenly turn away.

"G-good Morning Mr. Jeon..", he greeted and let the old man inside.

The older male walked inside and sit on the chair near Taehyung's bed. He told the boy to sit too.

"Sorry to interrupt your sleep"

"It's okay Mr. Jeon, that was the part my pregnancy, I guess", he replied scratching his nape.

"I've heard you visited our company last week?"

"Yes sir", he gulped.

"And you meet Mr Jung, Mr Min, Mr Park and Mr Kim. Did my son invited you?", The old male asked

"Yes sir, he told me that he want me to meet them. I think I became friends with Jimin Hyung already", he replies, smiling remembering that He and Jimin exchange their numbers and after that they talk almost every night.

"Well, I'm here to tell you to stop engaging with them except your Doctor. The reason you're here is to bear Jeongguk's child but now it happened to be that you'll also befriending the people around him which doesn't sit right to me", he told him.

Taehyung smile slowly faded at Mr. Jeon's words. He also thought of meeting them by a coffee shop next week but it's all done now.

"Okay Mr. Jeon, I won't communicate at them anymore", he said.

Mr. Jeon stood up, " and also, I'll change you house too. You and maybe Doctor Kim will switch to other unit again. I will also employ chef-in-charge so that we can control and fix you diet routine. I don't want the future heir to have physical and defections", he said and walked out of Taehyung's room.

"Yes sir", he answered the retreating figure of Mr. Jeon"

Do he have a choice? No he don't have. The old Jeon is his main client, not Jeongguk.

-

For the past few weeks, Taehyung had been ignoring the older males. He gave them excuses such as 'im tired', and I'm sleepy', and 'I'm busy', which some are not true. He'd been ignoring them because of what Mr Jungsun and also Mrs. Song said to him.

He still make Jeongguk's meals. He prepares the breakfast but didn't joined him to eat even though the other male insisted. He only ate before or after Jeongguk left the condo.

-

Taehyung is packing his stuff. Hoseok whose actually the old Jeon's assistant told him that their new unit is finally done now.

He sighed, he and Jeongguk had a good relationship since they met few months ago. They became good friends, a good companion to each other.

He didn't know the reason behind Mr. Jeon's order to ignore Jeongguk and the other males. He thought that Jeongguk might be promised to someone to marry but that wouldn't happen because why is he carrying other's child at the first place right?

He also thought that he might be a distraction to the other male that's why he was asked to be away from them, even the older hyungs.

He shakes his head. He shouldn't have to think about it or else he will have another pain aside from his pregnancy pains.

Taehyung sit on his bed, inhaled and exhaled multiple times. His feet is a bit bloated, after a few minutes of standing while packing his stuffs.

His feet now is starting to get swollen considering that he is only a week away to meet his fourth month.

He rub it softly, "stay in my womb alright, love you" he whispered.

He heard a knock in his door, he told them to come in to see Jeongguk. He gasped slightly knowing the male should be in his office by now since its 9 am already.

"You're leaving...?"

Taehyung nod

"You didn't tell me..", Jeongguk said

"I'm sorry. Just too cope up with fixing my stuff all over again. Why look worried though?", Taehyung asked, furrowing his eyebrows

"because you didn't tell me. You even avoided me for weeks. No one will cook me foods anymore and make this house ruined the quietness", he replies, pouting a little.

Taehyung looked at Jeongguk. He is trying to stop himself from laughing at a buff male whose pouting but failed. He looks so cute.

Taehyung laughed loudly, holding his stomach. Jeongguk glared at him which made the other laugh more.

"Stop...", The other male whined

But Taehyung didn't stop

"Taehyung." Jeongguk use his deep voice now

"Okay. Okay I'll stop".

After he calmed himself and wipe his happy tears, he gazed at Jeongguk seating on his bed near him.

"You really love my cooking's do you? If so, you can go to our unit. I'll cook your breakfast and maybe also prepare you pack lunch. Deal?"

"Deal"

"And also don't make it obvious. Your father might caught us", he mutters.

Jeongguk's face suddenly turned blank mentioning his father.

"Is he the reason why you ignored me few days ago?"

"Yeah"

"Do I really don't have any control in my life? God, I don't know if I can do this anymore"

" It's okay, Gguk, let's follow your father and everything will be fine"

"Do I have a choice? No", Jeongguk said, nodding.

They both stood up. Taehyung was about to to the bathroom when Jeongguk stopped him and crouch down, leveling Taehyung bulging stomach

He rubbed it softly and whispered to it"see you soon buddy, I love you.."

Taehyung hear it. He felt like crying in any moment by now. He stop, it's just a pregnancy hormones.

Jeongguk may be a quiet specifically in front at his father but with his friends and him, he seemed to show his colors.

The cute, affectionate and curious man. He never had good childhood, and the only set of people whom he trust without worrying to be scolded is his hyung in the company, Seokjin, and possibly him.

Taehyung's mind is over the place, too occupied by Jungkook's sudden action. He already conclude that JK will be a good father in the near future.
