28th Chapter

THIRD PERSON POV

He looked at him as if he was the most important thing on earth. It was as if his presence alone gave him life, like it was all he needed.

"I can't believe you are alive" he touched his face so gently like it was so fragile. Kyungsoo's tears fell and started sobbing which made Jongin look worried.

"Why are you crying?" he wiped the tears off his face.

"I am so sorry... I was so afraid" Jongin pulled him into his arms and whispered to his ears, "It doesn't matter anymore, the only thing important to me is that you are here now" Kyungsoo then cried like a baby in Jongin's arms. He missed it, that touch, that warmth. It is something he craved for so many years. But the fear of Jongin's parents and his pregnancy led him to decide that it's better not to show his face to them anymore.

"W— when I learned about my pregnancy..." he was forced to pause because of his sobs. "I had to make a difficult choice." he raised his head and looked at Jongin with teary eyes. "The child in my belly is your legacy, a testament of our love, so even when I know it's going to be hard, those cold nights when the baby and I were longing for your touch, my pregnancy cravings that no one satisfied, I knew I had to make that choice to ensure the safety of our child." It was such a long story from Kyungsoo but Jongin only heard one thing.

"So that young man is our child?" he sounded so happy, Kyungsoo answered his question with a slow nod.

"All along we had a child and I didn't even know?" he cupped his cheeks and gave him a very melancholic gaze.

"Sorry" Kyungsoo's voice broke, his apology is very sincere, he might have thought Jongin will be furious, but instead, he hugged him tighter.

"How were you all those years? Have you been eating well, Did none of you get sick? Were you living comfortably?" tears were still flowing continuously on Kyungsoo's face but Jongin's barrage of questions made him chuckle.

"It was so hard... Living without you was hell for me Jongin" and with that, Jongin lost control, he smashed his lips into Kyungsoo and devoured him worth of all those years being away from each other. It was a deep and passionate kiss which made Kyungsoo melt. Every part that Jongin touched tickled him and felt so warm. This was exactly what he was longing for all those years. The body of the only person he ever loved.

When they pulled apart both of them were out of breath. It was intense yet they both loved every second of it.

"Let me introduce you to him" Kyungsoo said looking for his son who seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

"If you are looking for Jungkook he already left, I don't know where he went though" it was Mingyu who spoke while he is carrying a Kwannie who had just stopped crying.

"I wonder why he left so suddenly." Kyungsoo wondering about the reason his son just left without telling anyone.

"He probably went to Taehyung" Junho said which made heads turn towards him. He scoffed sounding like he already lost.

"He is the father of Taehyung's child" everybody's mouth dropped in bewilderment.

"That bastard! How dare he go to see my Hyung after what he has done" Mingyu exclaimed angrily.

"That bastard is your hyung!" Jongin glared at him but Mingyu didn't back down.

He scoffed and looked at his father with a provoking smirk. "You suddenly acting like the best father in the world now?" he said mockingly.

"It's not my fault that I am your son nor that woman's son!" his jaws were clenched in anger, Jongin's face dropped. As if he realised what he had done for so many years.

Kyungsoo went closer to Mingyu giving him a nostalgic look. "You look just like him" Kyungsoo touched Mingyu's face and strangely, this gesture calmed him down.

"Don't blame Jungkook, it was all my fault." all eyes and ears were on Junho once again.

" I was the one who commanded him to make Taehyung fall for him and impregnate him" he said then looked at Mingyu. "Just like how you did my son years ago" he paused, took a really deep breath then laughed like a maniac but his laughs slowly turned into a cry. "I ended up hurting my own son" his knees were now on the floor as if begging for forgiveness.

Jongin walked towards him and lifted him up.

"Stop doing that, it doesn't suit you" the older Jeon cried like a child looking at the face of his old friend.

"We both did a lot of wrong things through our lives and there are so many things I realised just because of this event... We got so obsessed with revenge and thought we are already winning but in fact, it's the opposite, we are just hurting ourselves and people around us even more" Jongin said and Junho surely listened.

"It's not late to start again Junho, and we start by paying for our sins" he offered his hand for a shake which Junho accepted.

JUNGKOOK's POV

After that stressful event I went straight to the hospital where Taehyung was brought. I was pacing back and forth in front of the delivery room entrance and sent the other men home. They have no business being here.

Every ticking of the clock increase my anxiety, it's already been 2 hours but there was no update yet. I wanna peek inside but I know it's prohibited, my apprehension is killing me.

A few minutes later, Wonwoo with Mingyu and the kids came. I can see how Mingyu was glaring at me like he wants to bury me right where I am, well, he knows what I did, I don't blame him.

"You got some nerve to bring yourself here... hyung" he emphasised that one last word.

"Don't worry, I won't let him see me." I don't deserve him, nor my child but at least, I wanna see him even just once. Then I will be contented. I just wanna see an image of them together and paint it on my mind so I will have a memory to keep.

"So what you are running away from your responsibility?" he sounded really crisp and what mocking look he gave me, I feel like I am being hammered to the ground.

"If he sees me then he will know everything, that he was played, and I betrayed him. If me remaining dead in his knowledge can bring him peace then so be it... Even if it's hard, I will endure" All I heard from him was a scoff.

"Coward! Just admit that you are afraid to face his wrath if he discovers. You are too afraid to man up to your actions and now you are choosing the easy way out!" his words hit me like a ton of bricks. If I am just going to listen to my heart I will choose to be with them but is it really going to be the best for everyone?

"You can say anything you want, but I am not putting anymore stress to Taehyung especially now that he just had our child." I said firmly then turned my back on him.

"Give him time" I heard Wonwoo told him.

Not long after a doctor came out. "It's a healthy baby boy" the triplets cheered.

"We will have a new playmate!" I heard Chan's cheerful voice say.

"If you wanna see him you can just go to the nursery on the other side." a sudden rush of excitement flowed through my veins. The anticipation of seeing my own child overwhelmed me like it's the only thing that should matter to me right now.

I walked immediately to the other side and saw the part where the curtains are parted allowing people to see what's on the inside.

A few seconds later, there he was, lying on a crib sleeping. So tiny and fragile yet he held my whole world. I can't help but cry...

"Sorry my son..." I said as I looked at him through the glass which separated us, I wanted to hold him so much, but I feel like my dirty hands doesn't deserve to touch something so precious.

"Daddy promises to always love you and protect you... from a distance" and with that, I kissed the glass as if it was him, then left.
