There's Something About You...

Chapter 21: Choosing

Time slowed down as Jungkook didn't talk, move or even breathe for a moment as the words finished echoing in his mind.

Even though he heard Jimin perfectly, he still felt the need to ask:

"What did you say?..."

"Pregnant, Jungkook, with a pup," Jimin repeated, with a firm, stern voice.

Jungkook had mixed reactions the moment after. He chuckled loudly and happily, but also with a string of anxiety attached to his tone because it suddenly became unexpected and completely surreal. Part of him was radiant as he learned about it, imagining being a parent together with the love of his life, especially when they didn't even know if it was possible or not.

"This is incredible, I can't believe it...," Jungkook admitted, loud enough for Jimin to hear.

"What do you mean?"

"Jimin, yesterday we believed you couldn't get pregnant, and today you're telling me we're having a pup? This is amazing!"

Jimin shook his head in disbelief at his words.

"Jungkook, can't you see how serious this is?," he insisted, "we can't be having a pup!"

"We are together, and we have a big home, stable jobs and loads of money, we could-!"

"I'm an Omega, Jungkook! An Omega!," Jimin interrupted as he shouted, "how could you forget that?! I can't go out anymore! And I can't simply disappear and reappear nine months later with a pup!"

Jungkook stared at him dumbfounded for a moment, slowly realizing what it all meant...

"I didn't, it's just...," he couldn't finish the sentence.

But then he noticed Jimin, still static in the same position, with his eyes fixed on the Alpha.

His arms were close to his body, with his hands closed in tight fists, as his eyes were shiny from the tears that were slowly pooling there... He wore the most concerned look on his face, almost as if he was panicking on the inside, but in complete silence on the outside.

That made reality hit the young Alpha like a wrecking train.

A pup?

Having a pup under those circumstances?... In that doomed society?... While running a renowned company?... With everything going on within the suppressants market?...

Putting the pieces together that Jimin had certainly already done looked like a suicide...

Most importantly, everything that they have been through to hide Jimin away... It would be gone.

"Oh my god," the younger started, "how is that even possible? Aren't you taking the suppressants?"

"Religiously," Jimin swore, "I need to buy some pregnancy tests to confirm it, but it's the only thing... I'm always feeling tired, I'm always with headaches, I have been nauseous frequently and even throwing up sometimes..."

It did make sense and part of him was mad because he had been so oblivious about it when the signs were right under their noses.

When he focused on Jimin again, he was completely paralyzed, staring at the floor, lost in his thoughts.

Jungkook stepped in right away, coming closer as he placed his hands carefully on Jimin's cheeks, making him lock eyes with each other.

"Listen, one thing at a time, okay? Go take a shower and go to bed while I will go out to get some pregnancy tests... Alright?"
