They eventually managed to calm down again after a little too much laughing. Seokjin wiped his tears away and jeongguk coughed a few times after nearly choking.

It was quiet for a moment, everyone was waiting for the others to pick up the conversation again.

Finally, it was taehyung who spoke up first.

"Soo... What exactly is a pregnant and a fucking now?" He was actually looking at jeongguk for the answer to his question and he was definitely more than surprised when the angel just shrugged. "Dunno." He stated. Taehyung's eyes went to seokjin after that, but the older angel also didn't seem to know. So now three pairs of eyes were expectantly laying on jimin.

The only one human out of them just stared at them, mouth hanging wide open. "How even does reproduction work for you when you don't get pregnant?" He shouted, almost horrified.

No one said a word.

"You don't want to tell me that you are actually a million years old, right?!" Jimin asked, ready to scoot away from them any time now.

"No?" Taehyung asked, very unsure himself. "I don't think so, I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm like twenty or something."

Now it was jeongguk's turn to look at the merman. "Wait, you're older than me?"

That made seokjin burst out laughing, totally forgetting their previous topic. "Oh my god, jeongguk, you just got yourself your third hyung!" And jimin joined him. "I'm pretty sure namjoon, hoseok and also yoongi are older than you, too!" He added.

Jeongguk didn't know what to do except for pouting. Why was he always the youngest?

"Well, back to the topic then." He continues to pout, hating that the older ones teased him like this. And now that he saw how jimin reacted to their apparently missing knowledge, he actually got curious. It must be a big deal judging by his reaction.

He was right.

Jimin immediately went back to his serious face and straightened his posture. He still couldn't believe that his three friends knew nothing about this. How was that even possible?

"Guys, I really want to know how your kind of species makes reproduction work. Please tell me that before I explain human organs." He said, almost scolding.

Jin just shrugged. "Well, overall it's just about the wings. The wings are immortal, the body is not. When the body dies, the wings just create a new one for themselves. A different one, with new looks, new memories and... yeah, just new."

Jeongguk nodded along to that. Yes, that was also what he knew.

Jimin seemed baffled. He was quiet for a moment, thinking, then the next question popped up in his head.

"When you don't need to care about reproduction and things... and you also don't need another person... wait, are there even genders if you don't need them? Do you have a penis?"

"What is a penis? No, wait, I know that. My pet fish had one." Taehyung interrupted.

But now that confused jin and jeongguk. "What is a penis?" They both asked.

"Guys, I'm not your biology teacher! Can't you use Google or something?!" Jimin shouted.

And jin and jeongguk took out their phones.

-

Did I just google if fish have penises? No. Maybe. Did I find out that there are penis fish instead of fish penis? Yes, totally. But, guys. Like. First of all, sharks have two penises? Second of all, fish have their penis under their chin? Wtf? And some fish don't even have a penis? AND SOME ACTUALLY GET PREGNANT?! I am so confused. Poor taetae, identity crisis is coming for him. Or not. That's to difficult for the author's brain.

Byebye.
