When Jimin and Jungkook announced the pregnancy to their families, it was met with pure joy and excitement. Both the Park and Jeon families were over the moon to hear they’d be welcoming their first grandchild. Hugs, tears, and laughter filled the room as everyone congratulated the happy couple.

Mrs. Park couldn’t stop beaming, already discussing baby names and knitting little booties, while Mr. Jeon proudly declared he would teach his grandchild everything about life. The whole family was overjoyed, but none more so than Jungkook—who, as it turned out, was about to experience the pregnancy in an unexpected way.

At first, everything was normal. Jimin had the usual pregnancy symptoms: cravings for odd foods, a little more fatigue, and the occasional mood swings. But then something strange started happening—Jungkook began to feel those symptoms too!

It started small. Jungkook woke up one morning with a headache and chalked it up to a stressful day at work. But then, a few days later, he found himself rushing to the bathroom to throw up while Jimin calmly ate his breakfast, completely unfazed.

Jimin couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Jungkook's pale face. "Are you okay, Jungkook?" he asked, a mischievous smile creeping onto his face. "You’re not the one pregnant, you know."

Jungkook wiped his mouth and groaned. "I know, but... I think I'm feeling sympathy symptoms. This is real, right?"

Jimin laughed, shaking his head. "Looks like you're going through the pregnancy right along with me!"

From that day on, it became clear that Jungkook was feeling all the classic pregnancy symptoms that Jimin was supposed to experience. While Jimin carried the baby with relatively few issues, Jungkook, on the other hand, became a clingy, moody, and nauseous mess.

One morning, Jimin found Jungkook lying on the couch, dramatically groaning as he held his stomach. "Jimin-ah," he whined, "I think I’m going to throw up again. And my back hurts!"

Jimin raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. "Your back hurts? You’re the one with the back pain?"

Jungkook nodded, looking pitiful. "Yes! It’s terrible. And I can’t stop craving weird stuff. Can you make me some ice cream with pickles? I need it, Jimin, please."

Jimin couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “You want ice cream with pickles? Aren’t I supposed to be the one with weird cravings?”

Jungkook groaned dramatically again, pulling Jimin onto the couch with him. “I don’t know what’s happening! I just want to be close to you all the time. And the headaches... the throwing up... ugh, it's like I'm the one pregnant."

Jimin snuggled into him, giggling at how clingy Jungkook had become. He had expected himself to be the one leaning on Jungkook for support, but it seemed like his husband was the one who needed all the attention. Every morning, Jungkook clung to Jimin like a lost puppy, complaining about how tired he felt or how much his head hurt, while Jimin breezed through most days with little more than a craving for spicy ramen.

At family dinners, it became a running joke. Mrs. Jeon would watch as Jungkook barely touched his food, turning green every time Jimin ate something spicy.

"Are you sure Jungkook isn't the one who's pregnant?" she’d joke, while everyone laughed.

One day, Jimin decided to play along with the joke. He bought a fake pregnancy belly and strapped it onto Jungkook when he was half asleep on the couch. When Jungkook woke up and saw the giant "belly," he let out a scream.

“Jimin! What is this? What did you do to me?!”

Jimin was laughing so hard he could barely stand. “Welcome to my world, Jungkookie! Now you can feel what it’s like to carry the baby!”

Jungkook groaned and pulled at the fake belly. “I don’t think I can handle this, Jimin. How are you doing this every day?”

Jimin just shrugged and smiled. “Well, I’m not the one throwing up every morning or demanding pickles with ice cream.”

Despite all the teasing and the funny moments, Jungkook’s “pregnancy symptoms” only made him more devoted to Jimin. He became even clingier, constantly hovering over Jimin to make sure he was comfortable, hydrated, and well-rested.

Every night, he would cuddle up close to Jimin, his arms wrapped protectively around his belly. “Do you think our baby knows I’m going through this too?” Jungkook asked one night, his voice full of love and wonder.

Jimin chuckled softly, resting his head on Jungkook’s chest. “I’m sure they do. They’re probably thinking their daddy is going a little overboard.”

Jungkook kissed Jimin’s forehead, smiling. “Well, I’ll do anything for both of you—even if it means being the one with all the pregnancy symptoms.”

Jimin sighed contentedly, knowing that despite all the funny moments, Jungkook’s love and support were unwavering. No matter how clingy or dramatic Jungkook got, Jimin wouldn’t have it any other way.
