The doctor had left an hour ago, and now Namjoon and Yoongi were home. Jungkook was still at Kim Mansion, taking care of the baby.
The little one was feeling much better now and wasn't crying, but he was still adamant about not drinking milk. Jungkook had to sweet-talk him for at least an hour before the baby finally drank half of the bottle.
Currently, only Jungkook and the baby were present in Ha-rin's room. All the members had left them alone since the baby had just fallen asleep, and they didn't want to disturb him.
Jungkook lay beside the baby on the bed, gently combing his fingers through the baby's soft hair with one hand while holding his phone with the other, trying to call his mom to inform her of his whereabouts. It was already past 5, the time he was usually home from college.
After a few rings, his mom, Irene, finally answered. "Hello, Kookie."
"Hi, eomma . I actually called to inform-" Jungkook started, but his mom interrupted.
"I know, bub. You're at Kim Mansion taking care of the baby. Jimin told me. By the way, how is the baby doing now?"
"Oh, eomma , the baby is fine right now, but he hardly drank the milk. I'm getting worried about his health," Jungkook explained.
Jungkook felt a heavy weight in his heart about the baby's condition and was feeling restless, wanting to take away all the pain and protect him from every darkness . He couldn't express these feelings to anyone, not even to Ha-rin, although he was close to her.
His mom listened intently, her concern palpable. "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said there's only one way to save the baby: Taehyung-shi needs to get married and find a mother figure for the baby who can breastfeed him," Jungkook replied, recalling Jaehyun, the paediatrician's words.
"Oh," Irene said, her voice filled with worry. She felt a deep concern for Taehyung, who had just lost his wife and now had to marry again for the baby's sake. Life is being so cruel for Taehyung .
"Hmm," Jungkook responded distractedly, his hand resting beside the baby. "Okay, Mom, I'll call you later. I'll return home after dinner. Mrs. Kim insisted I stay for dinner, and I couldn't deny her. Please inform appa too; otherwise, he'll go berserk if he doesn't see me home safely." He chuckled, recalling an incident when he returned home late after visiting Baekhyun and forgot to inform his parents. His father, Eunwoo, had been so worried that he almost went out looking for him.
Jungkook loved his parents so much. They always cared for him, spoiled him with love, and never forced him to do anything he didn't want. They treated him like a princess.
His older brother, Jimin, was always there to protect him too. Jungkook smiled, feeling grateful for such a wonderful family.
Lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice the baby had woken up.
The little one was holding his hand with both chubby hands, trying to bite it.
