The sun had climbed higher in the sky by the time Jungkook arrived at the company building. The familiar environment of BigHit Entertainment welcomed him with its bustling energy. He navigated the hallways with ease, greeting staff members and exchanging quick smiles until he reached the practice room.
As he opened the door, the playful banter of his bandmates filled the air. Jin, RM, Jimin, J-Hope, V, and Suga were already gathered, their conversation breaking off as they spotted Jungkook. A chorus of cheers and applause erupted, making Jungkook laugh.
"Look who finally decided to show up!" J-Hope exclaimed, a grin stretching across his face. "Mr. Dad-to-be himself!"
Jungkook rolled his eyes good-naturedly, setting down his bag. "You're all just jealous you don't get the same excuse to sleep in," he shot back, earning a round of laughter.
V clapped a hand on Jungkook's shoulder, his eyes twinkling. "Yeah, but none of us have a little one on the way either. How's Y/N doing?"
"She's good," Jungkook replied, a soft smile on his lips. "Seven months now, and the baby's kicking up a storm. We can't wait."
The guys exchanged knowing glances, their smiles widening. Jimin, leaning against the wall, feigned a serious expression. "You know, the real test begins when the baby is born. No more sleeping in then, Kookie."
Jungkook groaned theatrically, running a hand through his hair. "Don't remind me. I'm already exhausted just thinking about it."
Jin smirked, crossing his arms. "Get ready for midnight diaper changes and random crying fits. The baby's, not yours."
Jungkook laughed, shaking his head. "Thanks for the pep talk, hyung. Really comforting."
RM, always the voice of reason, stepped forward, patting Jungkook on the back. "You'll do great, Jungkook. You've got us, and you've got Y/N. Plus, you've got Yoongi-hyung for all the expert dad advice."
At the mention of Suga, everyone turned to the rapper, who was leaning casually against the mirrored wall, his eyes reflecting his usual calm demeanor. Suga grinned, his eyes crinkling at the corners.
"Yeah, you can always ask me anything," Suga said, a touch of pride in his voice. "I've got two little girls at home, so I'm a seasoned pro."
The members erupted in a chorus of cheers and laughter, their teasing directed towards Jungkook now blended with admiration for Suga's role as a father.
Jungkook turned toward Suga, "Thank you Hyung. What's that like to be a dad of two, hyung?"
Suga's expression softened as he thought of his daughters. "It's amazing. Exhausting, but amazing. They're a handful, but they bring so much joy. Just be ready for anything—they'll keep you on your toes."
Jungkook nodded, absorbing Suga's words. "Any tips for a first-time dad?"
Suga chuckled, pushing off from the wall and stepping closer. "Patience, for one. Babies can't communicate except by crying, so it's a lot of trial and error. And teamwork—make sure you and Y/N are supporting each other. It's a tough job, but it's easier when you're in it together."
Jungkook nodded, his expression thoughtful. "Patience and teamwork. Got it."
"And don't forget to take care of yourself too," Suga added, his tone a bit more serious. "You'll be no good to your baby or Y/N if you're burnt out."
Jungkook's eyes softened with appreciation. "Thanks, hyung. That's really good advice."
The rest of the members, sensing the sincerity in the moment, quieted down a bit. J-Hope broke the silence with a playful nudge to Jungkook's side.
"And don't worry, we'll help with babysitting," J-Hope said, winking. "You know, to give you and Y/N a break."
Jungkook laughed, shaking his head. "I don't know if I should be relieved or terrified at the thought of you guys babysitting."
V pretended to be offended, clutching his chest. "Hey, we're great with kids! Well, as long as they don't need to be changed or fed..."
Jin chimed in, his eyes sparkling mischievously. "We'll just stick to playing with them and teaching them all our bad habits."
Jungkook grinned, feeling a surge of warmth and gratitude for his friends. "I'll hold you to that. Seriously though, thanks, guys. It means a lot."
The camaraderie in the room was palpable, a testament to the bond they shared not just as bandmates, but as brothers. As they settled into their practice routine, Jungkook felt a renewed sense of determination and confidence. With his friends' support and the wisdom of Suga's experience, he knew he was ready to face whatever challenges fatherhood would bring.
Later, during a break, Suga pulled Jungkook aside. "Remember, Kookie, it's okay to make mistakes. No one expects you to have all the answers. Just love your baby and Y/N with all you've got, and everything else will fall into place."
Jungkook nodded, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders. "Thanks, hyung. I'll keep that in mind."
As they returned to practice, Jungkook couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for the guidance and support of his friends. He was ready to embrace fatherhood, challenges and all, knowing he wasn't alone on this journey.
