PART 41

Taehyung woke up to a wave of nausea, his stomach churning. He rushed to the bathroom, his morning sickness hitting hard.

Jungkook sprang awake, concern etched on his face. "Tae, what's wrong?"

Taehyung retched, his body shaking. Jungkook quickly grabbed a towel and wet it, then gently held Taehyung's hair back.

"It's okay, babe, I've got you," Jungkook whispered, trying to soothe him.

After Taehyung finished, Jungkook handed him the damp towel. "Here, wipe your face."

Taehyung took the towel, his eyes still closed. "Ugh, I hate this."

Jungkook helped Taehyung rinse his mouth and clean up. "Maybe we should call the doctor?" Jungkook asked, worry creeping into his voice.

Taehyung shook his head, still pale. "It's normal, morning sickness is worse this time."

Jungkook guided Taehyung back to bed, wrapping him in a gentle hug.

"I'm sorry you're going through this," Jungkook whispered.

Taehyung leaned into Jungkook's chest. "I hate feeling weak."

Jungkook's arms tightened around him. "You're not weak, Tae. You're carrying our child. That takes strength."

Taehyung's gaze met Jungkook's, a mix of love and worry.

"What if I'm not a good father?" Taehyung asked, his voice trembling.

Jungkook's smile reassured him. "You'll be amazing, Tae. You're already so caring and strong."

Taehyung's eyes sparkled with tears. "Thanks, Jungkook."

Jungkook's lips brushed against Taehyung's. "We're in this together."

As they hugged, Taehyung's hand cradled his growing belly, their unborn child a symbol of their love.

"We're having a baby," Taehyung whispered, awe in his voice.

Jungkook's heart swelled. "We sure are, Tae. And we'll love them with all our hearts."

Taehyung's face lit up with a smile. "Do you think it's a boy or girl?"

Jungkook chuckled. "Surprise me, Tae."

Their laughter filled the room, a warm contrast to the morning's rough start.

Taehyung whispered I love you Kookie

"I love you too," Jungkook replied, holding Taehyung close.

In that moment, their love and support for each other shone brighter than any morning sickness.

AFTER SOMETIMES.

Baby i want fried chicken Taehyung asked.

Jungkook's eyes widened in amusement. "Baby, you want fried chicken?"

Taehyung nodded vigorously, his whimper turning into a pleading expression.

Jungkook chuckled. "Now? After morning sickness?"

Taehyung's face scrunched up. "Please, Kookie... I need it."

Jungkook sighed, smiling. "Okay, okay. I'll order some. But promise me you'll eat something healthy afterwards."

Taehyung's face lit up. "I promise!"

Jungkook pulled out his phone and dialed the local fried chicken shop.

"Hey, can I get an order of spicy fried chicken?" Jungkook asked, glancing at Taehyung.

Taehyung nodded enthusiastically.
