Child Of Stardust || TAEKOOK ✔️

18

Last year if someone told me that I was going to be pregnant for an alien literally, I'd have laughed at them, saying it might be a good joke or even better, called them crazy and they must have run away from a mental asylum or something.

It was all fun listening to absolutely far-fetched science fiction type of a story or imagination. Until it actually happened. It took months to accept the truth, leaving the urge to accept this as a dream or maybe a nightmare.

Hara was still standing near my bed, staring at my miracle bump intently yet her eyes seemed unfocused as if she was into deep thinking. She's been silent for a long time but it felt like eternity. Time was being an ass and moving slowly just to make me suffer more.

I saw Hara's mouth opening to say something but it shut down immediately and kept blinking rapidly as if she forgot to do it before. I tried to study her emotions through the expressions she had on her face; shock, surprise, disappointment, fear that's all I found. Maybe there were some more but I couldn't tell.

"Tata...this...you..I.."

I saw her gaze slowly turning towards my face and her eyes fixed at mine. I looked at her apologetically, I didn't know why I did that. But I had nothing else to offer her, no other emotion right now.

She sat down on the bed in shock. Her eyes not leaving my body, just running from my face to bump continuously.

"Oh my god.."

Her whisper was loud enough to reach three of us. I didn't look at Hoseok or Jin. They weren't my concern right now.

"I'm sorry Hara..."

I wanted to cry again. I was done with these pregnancy hormones. I didn't have anything else to say so I said what I felt was right to say at the moment. Was it my fault?

Her hands slowly started tracing my bump. She was trying to believe this, I could say. Her touch was gentle, not to hurt me. I didn't stop and let her explore my tummy.

"Tata..you are...oh my god.. you're actually pregnant?!"

Before I could say anything she started again,

"So t-they were telling the truth? You're p-pregnant for this Juncock? And he...he is imprisoned in his planet for..for getting close to you...but he doesn't know you're pregnant? Uh it's even shocking to them as well.."

She huffed.

"I'm going to have a headache. I think I'm dreaming. Aren't I?"

I hold her hand and gave it a little squeeze, letting her know it was indeed reality.

"Tata..you were going through all this alone.. and you didn't even tell me anything?"

She was hurt. I hurt her. I hurt her again.

"And I..I didn't even...I didn't even..what kind of sister I am.."

"No Hara! Please! You're the best sister! I couldn't ask for anyone better.. please don't blame yourself for my stupidity.."

My cheeks were wet again. I wish I could change all this. I wish all of this was a dream. If this was, then I'd wake up and didn't have to face anything of it. But unfortunately it wasn't a dream neither a story written in a thick book full of pages to read. Then I'd close the book because I was too tired to read it. Or maybe I'd turn to the last page, searching for a happy ending.

But it was not a book or a dream.

It was reality. All of this.

"Oh Tata.."

She engulfed me into a tight hug and I closed my eyes immediately knowing I wouldn't be able to control my tears.

"I'm here now.. don't worry.. I'll take care of you my baby tiger"

She whispered those sweet words in my ears. Her hands were circling my back and I  had a sudden urge to return the hug. So I did.

When she broke the hug and I looked at her, I found her already looking at me. Her eyes held something that I couldn't read. Was it pain?

She touched my cheeks softly before saying,

"Tata.. you're unchecked for months.. I need to check your condition and everything..I..I.. don't know if it'll work same as a woman but.."

The last part was almost inaudible.

"Have you eaten?"

I nodded.

"Okay. You take rest then.. I'm going out. I need to see if I can arrange the necessary equipments for the checkup here"

"Please don't go Hara.."

I pleaded with a weak voice.

"I'll be back even before you know it, okay? Now take rest"

"And you two, I still don't trust you two but I can do everything for my brother so...just take care of him for now and I didn't forget about this Jungcock-"

"Um it's Jungkook miss Harin"

Hoseok sheepishly said but when Hara glared at him, he immediately shut up.

"Anyway this Jungkook... I'm gonna beat the shit out of him. Remember that"

Hara swearing means something serious. I gulped. Oh. This was something serious.

I wanted to defend Jungkook. It was not his fault. But before that Hara left, placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Your sister is scary"

Jin seemed to let out a breathe he was holding after Hara left.

"I agree"

Hoseok added while nodding.

All of a sudden there was a beeping sound. I saw Jin immediately clicking on his watch, well it looked like a watch and it showed a screen in the air with something written on it. I couldn't understand the language but it was like message he received I believe.

Jin and Hoseok's eyes widened by the message. A good kind of...like they were happy by whatever the message was.

Jin switched the thing off and turned towards me with big smile and sparkling eyes.

"Taehyung! You wouldn't believe it! Jungkook is finally out of the prison after years!"
