Heartbeat (BTS Reverse Harem/Poly)

Untitled Part 22

Aria finished reading the note from Namjoon and smiled. She felt like they had truly made a connection and she felt closer to Namjoon in a way that she couldn't describe. Aria tucked the note away in the nightstand and paused, realizing that she didn't hear anything coming from the baby monitor. Min-Jun and Da-Som were always up by now and never slept this late. Starting to panic, Aria picked up the monitor and checked to make sure it was on but still couldn't hear anything. Rushing out of the room she stopped when she heard voices downstairs; voices of women she didn't recognize.

Slowly making her way downstairs, Aria stopped when she saw the two middle aged women in the living room holding her infants, smiling and doting on them...just like grandmothers would.

"Um, excuse me" Aria began, bowing deeply to the women before her, seeing the women look up at her smiling. "You must be Jungkook and Taehyung's mothers. I am Aria, it is so very nice to meet you. I apologize but you startled me a little. I forgot that you were coming this morning."

The women stood from the sofa with their grandchildren in their arms to greet Aria. They brought her in for a warm hug before introducing themselves.

"I am Kim Eun-Ji, Taehyung's mother. My dear, you have a beautiful daughter and Taehyung was right, she looks just like you! My Taehyung is so happy, and you are to thank for that."

"Mrs. Kim, Thank...."

"Ah, ah, ah, my dear, please call me Eun-Ji. There is no need to be formal."

"And I am Jeon Hyun-Joo, Jungkook's mother, do not call me Mrs. Jeon, it makes me sound old" the woman joked.

"It is a pleasure to meet you both" Aria exclaimed. "I can't wait to get you know the both of you. Your sons are amazing men and you are to thank for that."

"Oh, my dear" Hyun-Joo chuckled. "You have something to do with that as well. They can't stop talking about you and how much you mean to them. Now sit and let's get to know each other."

Aria sat on the sofa next to Eun-Ji and soon the three women were engrossed in conversation, laughing and talking about what Taehyung and Jungkook were like as children, and looking at the baby pictures the women had brought with them.

"Now don't tell Jungkook that I showed you this one" Hyun-Joo warned, before pulling out a picture of Jungkook, stark naked, lying on his stomach, his tiny bottom out for all to see.

"Oh, my" Aria said, laughing at the adorable picture. "I see nothing has changed. He is quite the exhibitionist, isn't he?"

"And here is one of Taehyung" Eun-Ji announced, showing the women a picture of Taehyung sitting in a chair, naked with a blue elephant covering his crotch. "This one is my favorite."

"That is precious! They were adorable babies! Thank you both for showing me these!"

"Dear, you are part of our family now. There is so much to see and learn. But there is plenty of time for that." Hyun-Joon said, patting Aria on the leg, then leaning forward, resting her arms across her legs. "Now, tell us how your love story with these men began. We want to hear all the juicy details."

Aria started telling the women the story of how she met the men that she called her boyfriends, omitting certain explicit details, and how their love had blossomed. She told them that it was definitely an unconventional relationship but they made it work and they all loved each other. Eun-Ji and Hyun-Joo didn't seem to be phased about the odd dynamics of the relationship that she shared with seven men and the relationships that they shared with each other, which made Aria feel more at ease.

"Would you like me to take one of them?" Aria asked, reaching for Da-Som.

"No dear, I could hold this one forever. Please, let me enjoy her while I am here. You just relax."
