The Arrangement | Taejin ✔️

Seventeen

"He is likely to be quite attractive in the future. You have been blessed with the gift of two handsome sons." As Ye-bin held Jungkook in her arms, she commented to her son. "I cannot express how relieved I am that you and Seokjin have decided to come to see us at last."

"We have been busy."

"I am sure you have." Ye-Bin gave her son a knowing look and then shifted her gaze to Jin, who had been catering to Jimin, who clung to him. "Seokjin, sweetheart, how have you been with the kids?"

"I am doing fine. Jimin keeps me occupied since he is currently running all over the place and is continuing to develop quickly. Jungkook has been keeping us up-"

"You mean he has been keeping me up." Taehyung glared at Jin.

Jin heaved a sigh, and then, ignoring his husband's request for his attention, he turned his focus to Ye-Bin, saying, "Taehyung, because of his busy schedule and constant travels, has offered to take care of the kids at night when he is home. Jungkook is one of those babies who is more comfortable resting during the day than he is throughout the night."

"Taehyung was like that a lot; he rarely slept at night. When he was around four, he started to sleep like a normal human. I am happy that you all seem to be doing well, and the kids are too. Jin, how is school?"

With a swallow, Jin looked down at Jimin and stroked his hair, "I am on a break right now."

"Oh, that's understandable. Taking care of two kids under the age of two is a lot. I hope you resume when you can. Have you visited your mom?"

Jin smiled and nodded, "I did. She visited last weekend."

"Good. I know you kids have your own life, but please include us sometimes. I am always available to babysit. I hope you know that. I am so happy about how things turned out for you two. I know your way of meeting wasn't ideal, but I am glad it worked out. Taehyung, will Seokjin join you at the upcoming Gala?"

Taehyung's jaw clenched, "Seokjin does not like those kinds of events."

"Why on earth not? It's a gathering in your honor to show our support. Seokjin, can you give me a justification for why you don't want to come?"

Jin was unaware of any event, so it was hard for him to respond. "Umm-"

"He is pregnant and is nauseous a lot this time around."

Ye-Bin's eyes went wide, "pregnant? But, Jungkook is three months old."

"Are you judging us?"

"Son, that's not what I am doing. I-"

"Then it would be best to keep your thoughts to yourself."

****

Ye-Bin looked around and then moved closer to stand next to Jin, "is it true you are pregnant?"

Jin nodded, "I am."

"I promise you I am not trying to judge you or my son, I would never do that, but you just had Jungkook. Why didn't you guys wait until he is a bit older? Jimin is also still so young."

"I understand your thoughts Mrs. Kim, and after it happened, we did consider that too. However, it turned out this way, so we will make it work."

Ye-Bin stared at Jin and took a deep breath, "are you happy with my son?"

"Yes, I am." Jin smiled.

"If you weren't, would you be willing to tell me? Although I am his mother, please know I am concerned about you. You have done a lot for our family, and although I am delighted to see you and my son making good progress, I want to ensure that you are also doing well. You have been wonderful. Your mother has mentioned that she does not get frequent updates from you. Why don't you visit her? I know you saw her last week, but since she is alone herself, it would be lovely if you could visit her whenever you have the chance-"
