Jungkook came in with a bewildered reaction. He's late. Taehyung already said everything, and he knew that they'd fucked up. He saw how Hyunjin's body shook in Minho's arms after hearing Taehyung.
Seokjin slaps Taehyung's left cheek. "How dare you, Taehyung!" He said, it was full of pain. "Look what you've done." He pointed at the boy in Minho's arms.
Taehyung's face softened, and all his anger vanished when he heard Hyunjin's hiccups while calling him. His tears fell as he stared at his son's broken state.
Taehyung glares at Seokjin, and Jungkook before walking towards his son that also runs towards him. "I'm sorry, pup." He whispered when Hyunjin hugged him. "I'm sorry if I was being a toxic father to you." Hyunjin shook his head negatively while crying. "I... I didn't know how you would react if you found out that your father is also a cousin of your mother. That's forbidden in the eyes of people, and the law. I don't want you to feel ashamed because of your parents fucked up situation." He explained softly.
"But I'm more ashamed every time someone asks me why I have two fathers, and I don't know what to answer. I got bullied in my previous school. They called mom nasty names. I heard the other students talking behind my back that I'm just like mom... Pretty, but a whore." Hyunjin confessed sadly.
Felix, Seungmin, Jeongin and Changbin widen their eyes at what Hyunjin confesses. Jungkook, and Seokjin were speechless. While Minho, he wants to hunt those students and makes them suffer in the future.
Taehyung hugged Hyunjin tighten, he felt his anger rising again, but he stopped himself by hugging his son. "I'm really sorry that you have thru that because of us." He said kissing the boy's head.
Minho feels devastated. He's contemplating if what he did was right. Hearing the truth from Taehyung made him think about the situation between himself, Chan, and Hyunjin. But this time, it's him who lied. But he also couldn't let Hyunjin get in more trouble by telling the truth to Chan. And Hyunjin's dad! He might kill the teacher. He wouldn't like that even though he hates Chan.

"Baby." Seokjin called out softly.
They are currently sitting on the couches in the living room. It's just Minho, Taehyung, Hyunjin, Jungkook and Seokjin. The other boys went home when the situation got more tensed and awkward for them to stay. They heard enough, and it made them feels sorry for their friend. Minho didn't leave as per Hyunjin's request. They realized that Hyunjin depends on Minho more than they thought, both emotionally and mentally.
"Please mom. Stop bitting around the bush. I'm giving you, and Papa a chance to explain your sides. I don't want to hate any of you." Hyunjin said softly while fidgeting on Minho's fingers. His face was red due to crying. He sits in between Minho and his dad.
Jungkook took a deep breath before saying. "Seokjin and I were engaged before he met Tae. We fought because he thought I was cheating on him with Jimin." He started.
Hyunjin and Minho look at each other. "Felix mom?" They asked in unison. They gasped when Seokjin confirmed it.
"We're just best friends." Jungkook continues. "I went to Jimin because I needed someone to talk about my insecurities." The boys furrowed their brows. "That I couldn't give Seokjin a child. I am barren." The two gasped. "I got drunk and stayed at Jimin's apartment, and Seokjin found me there. He accused me of cheating, and that night.. he went out with Hobi, and Yoongi hyung."
Seokjin gulped, and avoid Taehyung's eyes. "We went to the bar, so I could forget about Jungkook for a while. Taehyung came in with his friends, Hobi was friends with him too, so we joined each others group. I didn't know that I drink too much, we all did. My mind got clouded, and I really find Taehyung attractive from the start." He sighed. "I wanted to take revenge at Jungkook, so I flirted with Tae. Until we arrived in his apartment to continue drinking, and some things happened."
"Tae, and I continue what we have until Jimin told me what was really happened that night when I found Jungkook in his apartment... But it's too late, i found out that I am already pregnant. Jungkook called me and tried to fix our relationship. I told him about my pregnancy, and he said that he's willing to be the father. I think about it, and I wanted to let Tae know."
"The day that I'm about to tell him, my parents were talking with a couple at our gazebo. They introduced them as my uncle and aunt, my father's brother. I really wanted to get out of there to go to Tae, but they forced me to stay until my 'cousin' arrived. And I thought I'd die that day... it turned out, he's the 'cousin' that my parents talked about."
"We'd stop seeing each other without telling him that I'm pregnant. Until my parents found out, and they thought it's Jungkook child. They talked to Jungkook, to my surprise, he agreed to marry me and claimed Hyunie as his. We got married after five months, I thought everything was going to be fine... But everything went wrong when Jungkook visited his doctor, exactly the same time that Taehyung was in the office talking to his father."
Minho looks at Taehyung's expression. The man didn't look away from staring intently at Seokjin. The anger in his eyes is so prominent.
"My grandpa was a doctor like dad?" Hyunjin asked with amazement. "Wow. I want to be like dad and grandpa." He smiled dreamily.
Taehyung looks at his son with a sad smile. "Do you want to see your grandpa, pup?" He asked. Hyunjin nodded with innocent smile. 'so innocent, but tainted.' He thought. "We'll pay him a visit then." Hyunjin kissed him on the cheek.
"Then what happened, mom?" Hyunjin give his attention to Seokjin again.
Seokjin eyes watered, but held it. "Jungkook didn't know that Taehyung is your real father, but Taehyung knew that Jungkook is my husband. First, he thought that Jungkook impregnate me. Taehyung introduced himself as my cousin, which is true. They became friends, until Jungkook fully trusted Tae and confessed once that he's infertile, that Hyunie isn't really his, that Hyunie's father was the guy that I met at the bar 12 months ago before I gave birth to you."
"Taehyung came to me with Jungkook that day, and forced me to tell him the truth. I confessed everything to them. Tae wanted to change your last name to his and get the full custody, but I begged him not to. He didn't listen and took you from me, so I tried to kill myself. Jungkook begged him at that time, told him about my suicidal thoughts and attempts. He agreed in the end, at the condition that we are going to live in one roof." He ended.
Hyunjin got confused. "So, I'm not Jeon Hyunjin?" His eyes widen.
"Silly, kid. Of course, you are... But I registered you as Samuel Kim outside the Korean embassy." Taehyung said with a smile.
"Yah! That's sounds cool, dad." He commented, then looked at Seokjin. "Mom, I'm not mad. I told you already that I couldn't stay mad at any of you. It's just.... I'm upset that you hid it from me for so long." He walked towards his mother.
"Hyunie." Seokjin hugged his son. "I love you so much, baby." He cried.
"I love you all equally. Please don't think that I couldn't understand, I can always try. I'm not a kid anymore." He said with a pout.
Jungkook and Minho's eyes met, then smile at each other. When Minho looks at Taehyung, the older was already looking at him. And for the first time, Taehyung smiles at him.
