As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the city, the Kim's departed the hospital with their precious bundle.

The doctor had given the green light for them to take the baby home and they couldn’t have felt more relieved.

The drive to the Kim Mansion was serene, the baby nestled safely in Ha-rin's arms, blissfully asleep.

Jin and Namjoon shared one car, their conversation light yet filled with a sense of responsibility, while Taehyung, Yoongi and his parents took the other.

Although the baby was peaceful, Taehyung couldn’t shake the lingering fear of holding him, still feeling overwhelmed by the weight of this new role.

Upon arrival at the Kim Mansion, the clock chimed close to midnight. The house was quiet, a stark contrast to the hectic day they had endured.

“Let me take him to my room,” Taehyung finally said, breaking the silence as they stepped inside. His tone was calm but a flicker of determination shone in his eyes. “I would feel lonely without him.”

Ha-rin exchanged a knowing glance with Ye-Jun, a mix of concern and pride welling in her chest. She nodded, leading the way upstairs while cradling the baby carefully.

Once in Taehyung’s room, the atmosphere shifted. Ha-rin gently changed the baby’s clothes, her movements tender and practised.

Taehyung watched intently, absorbing every detail as if he were a student in a classroom, determined to learn the art of care for his son .

After tucking the baby snugly into his crib, Ha-rin prepared to leave. “I’ll be right outside if you need anything,” she assured Taehyung, her voice softening at the sight of her son’s serious expression.

As soon as his mother left, Taehyung felt the weight of responsibility settle on his shoulders. He took a moment to ensure the baby was sound asleep before slipping into the washroom for a quick shower.

Under the warm spray, thoughts of the day flooded his mind—emotions swirled, mixing relief with uncertainty

Under the warm spray, thoughts of the day flooded his mind—emotions swirled, mixing relief with uncertainty.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he would ever feel ready for this.

The baby was now part of his life, and he wanted to be the best father he could be.

After a quick shower, he slipped on his white bathrobe and emerged, droplets of water still clinging to his hair. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the baby still peacefully sleeping.
