taehyung didn't contact his mother for the next few days.

she would text him every other day like asking how he was doing and if he wanted to meet wherein the brunette would just reply with simple and vague answers.

in her last text, she apologized again and even informed taehyung that she had found a temporary job.

she didn't tell him at first what or where but the brunette has gotten more curious and kept on asking her wherein she finally said it was in one of the restaurants that jinwoo and hoseok owned.

taehyung was very much surprised about this and immediately called jinwoo asking if his mother had forced or been pushy about getting a job.

"i wasn't there when she applied but our store manager would send me the list of applicants and i saw her application... well, she did mention to the manager that she knows me and all that" jinwoo says with a small unsure chuckle over the phone. "she stated that she just wants a temporary position and we do have actually which are usually for students but we're open to hiring older people who needs a job"

taehyung knows he shouldn't feel guilty but with the way his mother was acting, he couldn't help but feel like he's now asking a favor from jinwoo; and somehow he didn't like it how his mother seems to be coming after his jinwoo-hyung as well.

"besides, there aren't many students looking for part time jobs right now since it isn't summer or school break so i really don't mind"

the pregnant male sighs. "okay, hyung... but let me know if she causes you any trouble"

"hey, don't stress yourself. it's fine, really" jinwoo says. "i'm currently in los angeles to accompany hobi so i won't be seeing her any time soon but i'll ask our manager to keep me posted"

jungkook had been more strict and vocal about his annoyance towards minji after they had went to the hospital for taehyung's routinely check up.

the doctor advised for the pregnant male to avoid anything causing him stress and have lots of rest especially now that he was going in on his sixth month.

there wasn't supposed to be any 'big' stress in his life at the moment - well, aside from that certain woman. on a positive note, their baby boy was normal and healthy.

the dark haired male had been working in his home office more often and would only go to the jeon corporation at least twice a week for a few hours at most; jiyeon or sunoo now frequently dropping by their residence bringing in papers for the ceo.

currently, taehyung had been busy arranging their baby's room little by little. they already had a few things from their shopping trips early on. one thing he had also decided on is to paint on one of the walls in the nursery.

he remembered suggesting to jungkook that they should work on a painting together for the baby's room but instead decided to make one wall as their canvas.

"yeah? what do yoh plan for us to paint, my love?" jungkook asks as he rests his cheek on his palm, eyes on rhe pregnant male who took another bite of the cake.

"maybe just some scenery with animals and a litte bit of greenery for a pop of colour since the room theme is mostly neutral... but if you want we can do something else..." taehyung suddenly felt conscious, his cheeks turning warm seeing his husband's eyes on him, a smile on his lips. "you're staring..." he softly points out with a soft blush, eyes meeting his husband's gaze.

somehow he also felt slightly embarrassed at still being shy whenever jungkook would look at him with those warm eyes.

his gaze still giving him butterflies and warmth.
