Third person's pov

“Soohyun, I’m fine,” Jungkook assured her, trying to sound as composed as possible.

“I’m so sorry, Mrs. Park,” Taewon said, bowing deeply. “I didn’t meant scare you, I thought it was only noona.”

Jungkook smiled and shook his head. “It’s alright, Taewonie.”

At that moment, Heejin came in, her eyes widening in surprise when she saw Jungkook. “Oh, Mrs. Park, you’re here!” She bowed respectfully, with a smile.

Jungkook reached out and patted Heejin’s head affectionately. “It’s good to see you.”

Soohyun stepped forward, her voice gentle. “You should sit down now, Mrs. Park.” She placed a hand on his elbow, guiding him carefully to the sofa and helping him to sit. Jungkook settled into the cushions with a sigh, his hand still resting on his belly.

Heejin and Taewon exchanged puzzled looks, their confusion growing.

“Should I get a glass of water for you?” Soohyun asked, her eyes never leaving Jungkook’s face.

Jungkook nodded slightly. “Yes, please.”

Soohyun turned to Taewon. “Taewon, get a glass of water for Mrs. Park.”

Taewon nodded, hurrying to the kitchen. He returned swiftly, carefully holding a glass of water, which he handed to Jungkook. Jungkook took it with a grateful smile and sipped slowly.

“Thank you, Taewon,” he said, setting the glass on the coffee table.

“I will call Hyunjae and Sujae here as well,” Jungkook continued, looking at Soohyun.

Soohyun nodded in agreement. “Do you want to lay down for a bit?” she asked, concern still evident in her tone.

Jungkook shook his head, a small smile on his lips. “I’m really fine.”

Taewon and Heejin exchanged another set of bewildered looks. Heejin finally spoke up, her voice hesitant. “Um, Mrs. Park, are you sick?”

Jungkook shook his head again. “No, I’m not sick. But I do have a surprise.”

“A surprise?” Taewon said, “What is it?”

Jungkook smiled. “I’ll tell you when everyone is here.”

They sat in suspenseful silence for a while. The atmosphere was thick with anticipation. Soon, the doorbell rang, and Taehyung arrived with Hyunjae and Sujae. They greeted everyone warmly as they entered the living room.

“You guys came together?” Heejin asked, her eyebrows raised.

“We arrived at the same time,” Taehyung explained, removing his shoes and stepping inside.

Heejin nodded and stepped aside as Hyunjae and Sujae hurried over to Jungkook. They sat on either side of him, their expressions were of curiosity.

“Why did you called us here Eomma?” Hyunjae asked, his hand resting lightly on Jungkook’s arm.

Jungkook took a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts. “Okay, everyone. Sit down. I have something important to tell you.”

Everyone, except Soohyun, who was already standing by, looked confused but complied, taking their seats around the room. The tension was palpable as all eyes turned to Jungkook.

“I…” Jungkook began, his voice trembling slightly. He took another deep breath, but the words seemed to get stuck in his throat. Overwhelmed, he hid his face in his hands, trying to steady his breathing.
