"Angel is not your child?" Jungkook's voice trembled with shock as he stared at Taehyung, who had kept his gaze lowered the entire time while revealing his past.
Taehyung finally lifted his head, his eyes locking with Jungkook’s. "Yeah... Jennie once told me the father’s name after we got married but I don’t remember it clearly. It’s been a long time already." His voice was calm, yet there was an underlying weight to his words as he shifted his gaze towards the garden.
Jungkook sighed, shaking his head with a soft chuckle. "You know... I still can’t believe it. The way you love Angel, the way you protect him… no one would ever guess that you’re not his biological father. It would take an eternity for someone to realize it." His voice carried warmth, an attempt to lighten the tension lingering between them.
Taehyung smiled faintly before turning to face Jungkook fully. "Jungkook, I want both of us to be the perfect parental figures for Angel. I want to give him all the happiness in the world." He took a deep breath, his tone turning softer.
"Will you be by my side? Will you support me?"
Jungkook didn’t hesitate. He reached out, giving Taehyung’s hand a reassuring squeeze. "Taehyung, you don’t even have to ask. I will be by your side… till eternity." His words held a quiet promise, his eyes reflecting unwavering sincerity.
A gust of cold wind passed through the garden, making Taehyung shiver slightly. He looked around, rubbing his hands together for warmth, when his eyes landed on Jungkook.
That’s when he noticed—his wife wasn’t wearing a sweater or a shawl to keep warm.
Without thinking twice, Taehyung shrugged off his own sweater and walked over to Jungkook, draping it over his shoulders.
Jungkook flushed at the action, warmth creeping up his cheeks. "Thank you," He murmured, genuinely grateful. He had been feeling cold but he hadn’t even realized it.
Taehyung smiled. "Come, let’s go inside. It’s freezing out here." He extended his left hand towards Jungkook.
Jungkook hesitated for a second before slipping his hand into Taehyung’s, his cheeks burning a deeper shade of red. They intertwined their fingers naturally, stepping back into the mansion together.
Once inside, they tiptoed toward their room, careful not to wake their little angel. The baby remained in a deep, peaceful slumber. Taehyung and Jungkook silently walked to the bed, settling on either side of the baby.
Without a word, Taehyung reached out and gently took Jungkook’s hand. A moment later, they both held their baby's tiny, chubby hand together, their fingers wrapping protectively around the little one’s warmth.
At that moment, nothing else mattered—just the three of them, their small world filled with love and silent promises.
