Lover

20] Ache of Happiness

" You did well. He looked like a corpse. " Mrs. Kim chuckled softly entering inside the room and walked towards Jungkook who was wide awake , staring at the ceiling.

She sat on the seat before spraying disinfectant and gazed at Jungkook who layed there silently with no expressions.

" I don't know what are you talking about? " His muffled voice came through the mask, completely denying her statement before looking at her.

She smiled.

" Yes. And I am Cinderella. " her sarcasm made Jungkook smile through his oxygen mask before he groggily spoke , " You are better than her. Trust me. "

Mrs. Kim laughed lightly at his words and slowly her smile faded away , turning serious.
A deep sigh escaped her lips as she looked down at Jungkook who blinked silently after watching her expressions change.

" He must realize what he has done. " Mrs. Kim whispered lowly , making younger gaze at her with a hurt look.

" H-He already did. " Jungkook whispered making Mrs. Kim frown.

" Mum , I-I had a diary in which I used to write everything on every single day. I wrote everything in there. Everything.  A-and he got to know about it. He has been reading i-it. " Jungkook spoke in a weak voice and hearing that Mrs. Kim's eyes went wide in pure utterance and suddenly another thing clicked her mind , making her gasp.

" Jesus! Did you write this year's too? " She asked at which he hesitantly nodded making her eyes go double their size.

" T-Then does he know about your secret?  " She questioned.

Jungkook looked away not knowing what to answer. " I....don't know.  He acts normal. He is awkward and nervous around me and watching the way he has been acting , I can say that he doesn't know. "

" B-But? Wait- how do you know that he has been reading your diary? " A very important doubt came up in Mrs. Kim's thoughts which was cleared when Jungkook replied. " Jimin told me about this when I was in hospital. He told me that Taehyung kept on reading a diary and when I asked for it's design and the way it looked , he described the way my diary looks. H-He also told that Taehyung had it in his hand almost every time he came to meet him. " Younger's breathing started to shrink which was because of talking a lot so Mrs. Kim asked him to not speak anymore , yet he pleaded to her.

" Hide a-away that diary mumma. H-He should not know about it. " His lips wobbled with fog appearing in his mask and that made Mrs. Kim worried.

" Fine. I'll try to do it. Now don't talk. Calm down. Rest , my baby. " She spoke with her eyes turning more soft than usually and passed a comforting smile to Jungkook who breathed to control his inhale and exhale.

" You rest. I must go and find the diary. " She spoke standing up after Jungkook nodded and was about to search for the diary when Taehyung entered inside the room with a file in his hand from the hospital.

" Some report has come for mother from hospital. Did you go through a checkup mom? " Taehyung asked with that brown envelope in his hands which made Mrs. Kim's eyes wide as she glanced at Jungkook who too looked nervous.

She sped walked towards her son and snatched the envelope within a flashlight which made Elder frown yet he remained silent.

" Yes. I d-did. " She mumbled and took the brown paper to herself. " Did you see it? " She asked sounding hesitant.

" Why would I? Isn't it yours? Well what's in that , by the way. " He asked making her frown at him deeply.

" That must not bother you. You must go now. " She said coldly at which he peered at her because of that sudden weird behavior but when he saw Jungkook looking at him , he found himself walking out that door the other second.

As the door was closed behind , Mrs. Kim sighed deeply feeling relaxed and then walked towards the door before locking it from inside.

Thanking god , she could only imagine if Taehyung had opened the report and had seen it.

Jungkook whimpered trying to move in his place. Probably--- trying to get up at which Mrs. Kim shook her head , telling. " Don't. Don't move. I am coming. Don't exert yourself. "

The next moment she rushed towards her son-in-law who was eagerly waiting for her to get back to her place.

She sat back in the couch with a loudly beating heart and gazed up at her son-in-law who looked equally stressed.

" We know what it is. This brown paper is just a seal to what it is. " She said as if remiding Jungkook what it was all about.

He nodded with his heartbeat increasing in the monitor. " I'll be quick. " She whispered and with her shaking hands,  which were trembling since the moment she saw that envelope in Taehyung's hand , she opened it taking a deep inhale.

" Jungkook. My baby. Whatever it is. I will always be there and you must know that. " She whispered softly and brought out the report slowly with her still trembling hands and unsettled heartbeat and unfolded it before gazing briefly at it.

Jungkook kept on looking at her face and sav her expressions changing from nervous to shocked to pale to happy and then to teary.

Mrs. Kim started to cry and placed palm on her mouth to muffle her sobs and then looked at Jungkook with a happy crying face which made Jungkook's heart ache badly but this ache wasn't because of sadness. This ache was because of the happiest feeling he had ever felt.

" Y-You are indeed expecting. You are p-pregnant for four months , my baby. "
