And he knew, he wanted to be mated to the alpha, to love him with all he had, to be a worthy life partner and to bare their children. Because with Namjoon, they never felt like an obligation that omegas were expected to follow, it felt like destiny...
Seo Hi gasped as she watched Yoongi help a five month pregnant Jimin out of carriage, the couple laughing when they saw the shocked faces of the Kim family. "Oh my god Jiminie!" she squealed, pulling the omega into a warm hug, mindful of his growing belly, eyes tearing a little at the sweet surprise.
"There was no letter, no news from you appa and eomma as well!" she exclaimed, glaring playfully at Jimin who giggled, pulling Seokjin into a tight embrace.
"Congratulations Jimin-ah" the elder smiled at the beaming omega, planting a sweet kiss on his forehead. Jimin giggled, looking around for his best friend, pouting when he noticed that he was missing.
"We haven't told him yet" Seo Hi supplied. "He's in his room. He doesn't know you're here yet" Seokjin said, patting his back, urging him inside.
Yoongi watched with a smile as his mate adorably waddle inside, chest blooming with warmth for the millionth time probably, a constant since Jimin's pregnancy began.
"How is Taehyung?" he asked, throwing a worried glance at his best friend. Skin below his eyes was darker and he even looked leaner. Namjoon looked exhausted. They all did, in a way. The incident had weighed heavy on all of them. There was a certain gloom that had settled over the usually lively Kim household.
He had noticed the light marks on Seokjin's neck, the ones that weren't hidden by the collar at least, a part of him afraid to face Taehyung. They had received a message from Namjoon two weeks ago and Jimin had insisted visiting his best friend, dropping their plan of surprising them after the birth of their child.
"Tae is... coping better" the other mumbled, unsure of how to word it. Everything still hurt, as if the wounds reopened from time to time, taunting him for the biggest failure of his life. His brother had taken a heavy blow on himself, refusing to step out of his room majority of the times. There were times when Seokjin and Namjoon had spent an hour trying to get Taehyung to go on a walk, knowing that it was necessary for his health along with the child's.
Namjoon had prevented him from stabbing himself once, causing a major scare to everyone. They had told him that there was still time, that he could still abort the baby if he felt that he could not handle it but Taehyung then had been adamant on keeping it. It was confusing sometimes, about what he wanted, how he felt.
The lesson they had learnt was that patience was the key. Right now, Taehyung needed to know, more than ever that his family was beside him. He watched as Jimin knocked on his brother's door, quietly slipping inside.

In the dimly lit room, Jimin found Taehyung staring out the windows through slightly parted curtains, the low glow of daylight the only source of light in the room. On his toes, he quietly crept to his best friend, freezing in his steps as the omega whirled around, surprised.
"Jimin-ah" he whispered, voice low, scratchy, eyes watery, nose red and cheeks marked with streaks of tears. "Taehyungie" Jimin opened his arms, eyes welling as he held his best friend as close as he could, rocking them back an forth as he let him sob into his arms.
