An hour passed, every ticking second stretching thin with tension. Jungkook sat in silence, his fists clenched, eyes fixed on the doors to the emergency room.
Then, finally, Mr. Choi stepped out, his face calm but unreadable. Jungkook was on his feet in an instant, striding over with desperation in his eyes.
"Dad, is she okay? What happened to her? And... what about Anya?" he asked, his voice cracking with worry.
Mr. Choi placed a reassuring hand on Jungkook's shoulder, a warm smile breaking the tension. "She's okay, son. Nothing to worry about," he said gently.
"And Anya is fine too. Just two stitches, but she'll be alright."
As Mr. Choi's words settled over the group, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief, the weight of worry lifting from their shoulders.
Mr. Choi then turned to chat with Mr. Park, Mrs. Choi, and Jungkook, discussing the details and reassuring them.
They shared quiet laughter, Mr. Park even letting out an exaggerated chuckle, easing the atmosphere.
Meanwhile..............., Taehyung lingered on the edge, trying to mask his relief with a casual expression.
But every time his gaze crossed with Mr. Choi's, he'd find Mr. Choi giving him a knowing smirk, one eyebrow raised in silent amusement.
It was as if Mr. Choi had some hidden insight, a secret that Taehyung hadn't yet uncovered.
Taehyung tried to ignore it, but each smirk seemed to poke at him, pulling at his curiosity and leaving him wondering if Mr. Choi knew something he didn't.
Mr. Choi gently steered Taehyung aside, giving him a serious look. Clearing his throat, he leaned in and asked,
"Taehyung, I'm not sure how to say this, but... did you and Ria, uh... you know... have a little dance in the bed?"
Taehyung's eyebrows raised in confusion.
"What? No, Mr. Choi! Ria doesn't like dancing on the bed," he replied, as innocent as ever.
Mr. Choi scratched his head, clearly struggling with his words. "Alright, then... did you, uh... danced in the bathroom?"
Taehyung blinked, utterly confused. "Why would I dance in Ria's bathroom, Mr. Choi?".
--------------[A/N : uhhh....why is he oblivious?]
Just then, Mrs. Choi joined them, raising an eyebrow. "Honey, what's going on here?"
Mr. Choi, looking a bit sheepish, mumbled, "Well, it seems like Taehyung and Ria may have... danced together."
Mrs. Choi's eyes widened before a mischievous grin spread across her face. "Ohhh," she said, smirking at Taehyung, who immediately started waving his hands, protesting loudly, "Mrs. Choi, no! We didn't dance!"
His outburst caught Jungkook's attention. He raised an eyebrow, smirking as he leaned in with Jimin. "Wait, who danced together?" Jungkook asked, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
Mrs. Choi just shot Taehyung a sly smile, her silence more telling than any words. Jungkook's grin widened as he nudged Taehyung.
"Yeah, they both danced together, I knew it—I saw it!"
Before Taehyung could deny it, Mr. and Mrs. Choi gasped in unison, "YOU SAW...IT?!"
"Yah! Where are your manners?" Mrs. Choi said, reaching over to twist Jungkook's ear.
"Ouch, Mom! I didn't see it, okay? But Jimin and I... heard it," Jungkook confessed, rubbing his ear.
Mrs. Choi's eyes narrowed as she quickly grabbed Jimin's ear too, her motherly scolding mode fully activated.
Taehyung crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes at Jungkook. "Why the hell are you lying, Jungkook?"
Jungkook unbothered. "You are one who is lying here! Hyung! You and Ria did it... Me and Jimin heard it, right, Jimin?"
Jimin, caught in the middle, just chuckled nervously. "Uh... yeah, we... heard something."
At that point, the entire group's attention was on them. Namjoon, eyebrows raised in utter confusion, asked, "Uh... what's going on here?"
Mr. Choi looked around, taking a deep breath before announcing, "Ria is pregnant."
Before anyone could react, Jimin and Jungkook shouted in unison, "OMG, YOU DIDN'T USE A CONDOM?!"
Mrs. Choi, already exasperated, gave both of them swift smacks on the back of their heads. "A little respect, boys!" she scolded, while the two rubbed their heads, grinning sheepishly.
Meanwhile, Taehyung stood frozen, shock and joy spreading across his face. Slowly, a wide smile broke through as he turned to Mr. Choi. "She's... pregnant?" he asked, voice brimming with excitement. "Am I... am I going to be a dad?"
Mr. Choi's eyes softened as he nodded. "Yes, Taehyung. You're going to be a father."
Mr. Park, practically bouncing with joy, wiped away happy tears. "My sparkles is going to be a mom... and I'm going to be a grandpa!" He laughed, his voice full of pride and happiness.
The whole room erupted into smiles and laughter, everyone sharing hugs and congratulations. Taehyung, still in shock but glowing with happiness, looked like he was on top of the world.
