40- Unspoken Concerns

Jungkook stood in front of the mirror, clad in a crisp white shirt and a sleek grey suit. The outfit was meticulously chosen for the occasion, and he could see the reflection of his anticipation and excitement in the glass. Taehyung, ever the attentive partner, was focused on perfecting Jungkook's makeup. His concentration was evident in the gentle precision with which he applied the finishing touches, a tender smile playing at his lips.

Jungkook glanced over his shoulder at Taehyung, his curiosity piqued. "Is it okay?" he asked, his voice tinged with a hint of nervousness.

Taehyung, momentarily distracted by the question, looked up from his work. His eyes sparkled with admiration as he took in Jungkook's appearance. "You're looking handsome," Taehyung said, his tone filled with genuine affection. "If I met you somewhere else, I'd definitely make a move on you."

Jungkook's cheeks flushed slightly at the compliment, a shy smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He could feel the warmth of Taehyung's gaze, the unspoken admiration and love in his eyes.

With a playful twinkle in his eye, Taehyung finished up with the makeup and made his way towards the kitchen. "But wait," he called out over his shoulder, "you need to have  yogurt and sugar for good luck."

Taehyung was about to open the fridge when Jungkook, standing nearby, took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. Today was a significant day for him—he was on his way to a job interview, and the weight of the occasion was palpable. As Taehyung reached for something inside the fridge, his phone rang, interrupting the quiet moment.

Taehyung glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Dr. Seokjin. With a warm smile, he answered the call. "Hi, Doctor Seokjin," he said, his voice light and cheerful.

From the other end of the line, Seokjin's voice came through clearly, though Jungkook couldn't hear the details of their conversation. "Taehyung, your medical report has come in, and it states that you are pregnant."

The words hit Taehyung like a jolt. He froze, his hand still on the fridge door as he processed the shocking news. His gaze drifted over to Jungkook, who was adjusting his suit and tie, oblivious to the conversation unfolding on the phone.

Seokjin's voice broke through Taehyung's thoughts. "Taehyung? Are you there?"

Snapping back to reality, Taehyung quickly replied, "Yes, Doctor. I'm here. Given my recent health issues, will the child face any consequences?"

Seokjin's voice, though calm and reassuring, carried a note of concern. "No, Taehyung, the child will not suffer because of your condition. However, I am worried about you. Your body has just begun to recover, and I'm concerned about your strength."

Taehyung, still processing the information, felt a gentle tap on his shoulder. He turned to see Jungkook standing close by, his expression a mix of curiosity and concern. Without breaking his focus from the call, Taehyung maintained a small smile and continued to listen to Seokjin while absentmindedly feeding Jungkook a spoonful of yogurt with sugar.

Seokjin's voice continued, "I don't believe you have enough strength to carry this pregnancy to term. Your body is still weak from the illness. I strongly advise that you discuss this with Jungkook."

Taehyung nodded slowly, absorbing the gravity of Seokjin's advice. "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Doctor."

After ending the call, Taehyung put his phone down and took a moment to collect his thoughts. He looked at Jungkook, who was now adjusting his tie with a focused expression. Taehyung's mind was preoccupied with Seokjin's concerns about his health and the future.

Gently, Taehyung reached out and began straightening Jungkook's tie, his movements tender yet distracted. Despite his efforts to maintain a calm exterior, his thoughts were swirling with the implications of the conversation he'd just had. As he made sure Jungkook's tie was perfectly aligned, Taehyung couldn't shake the sense of urgency and worry about his own health and the well-being of their unborn child.

Jungkook glanced at Taehyung, noticing the pensive look on his face. "Everything okay?" he asked, his tone laced with concern.

Taehyung forced a reassuring smile and nodded. "Yeah, everything's fine. Just a bit of news I need to talk to you about later. For now, let's focus on your big day."

Jungkook gave Taehyung a soft smile, unaware of the full extent of Taehyung's thoughts, and nodded. Together, they prepared for the day ahead, Taehyung's mind filled with both the excitement of Jungkook's new opportunity and the weight of the news he needed to share.
