To Fall In Love Again [JEONGKYU FF]

Chapter 53

The sunlight streamed softly through the hospital room's curtains, casting a warm glow over Junkyu's face. He stirred, stretching slightly before the flutter in his stomach brought him fully awake. It wasn't a dream. The tiny, rhythmic movements were real—stronger now, like the pups were eagerly saying, Good morning, Mommy!

Junkyu's lips stretched into a wide smile, and he sat up, his hand instinctively resting over his belly. The little kicks came again, gentle but deliberate, as if they were responding to his touch. His heart swelled with joy, and he let out a soft laugh.

"Woo," he whispered, shaking JeongWoo gently. "Woo, wake up. They're moving again."

JeongWoo groaned, rubbing his eyes as he blinked up at Junkyu. His hair was adorably disheveled, and he looked like he was still halfway in dreamland. "Huh? What?"

"The pups!" Junkyu beamed, taking JeongWoo's hand and pressing it to his belly. "They're moving again. Feel that?"

JeongWoo's grogginess melted away as he focused, his eyes widening when he felt the faint but unmistakable kick beneath his palm. His face broke into a grin, and he leaned in, pressing a kiss to Junkyu's belly. "Good morning, little ones," he murmured softly, his voice filled with wonder.

Junkyu giggled, brushing his fingers through JeongWoo's hair. "They're so active today. I can't believe it."

The excitement carried Junkyu through the morning. He couldn't stop sharing the news with everyone who stepped into his room.

From the nurse on her morning rounds to the dietary staff bringing his breakfast, each visitor was greeted with a beaming Junkyu announcing, "The pups kicked! I can feel them! Isn't that amazing?"

His joy was contagious, earning smiles and congratulations from everyone—except for his assigned bodyguards for the day, Jaehwan and Sungjae.

The stoic duo stood near the door, trying their best to keep straight faces as Junkyu enthusiastically relayed every detail of the baby kicks. The omega's glowing expression made it impossible to interrupt, but their discomfort became clear when Junkyu innocently asked, "Do you want to feel it too? When it happens again, I can call you over!"

Jaehwan and Sungjae exchanged a panicked glance before shaking their heads vigorously. "N-no, thank you, sir," one of them stammered, taking a subtle step back.

Before Junkyu could press the matter, JeongWoo appeared behind him, his towering presence and sharp glare cutting through the cheerful atmosphere like a blade. The alpha's expression clearly said: Don't even think about it.

The bodyguards swallowed nervously, shifting awkwardly until Junkyu, oblivious to the tension, turned away to exclaim, "Ah! Doyoung! I have to tell Doyoung!"

As Junkyu retreated back into his room, the door closing behind him, Jaehwan and Sungjae let out audible sighs of relief. JeongWoo's glare didn't waver until the omega was out of sight, and only then did the bodyguards relax.

Inside, Junkyu climbed onto the bed, his phone already in hand. His excitement was palpable as he scrolled through his contacts, his face practically glowing when he found Doyoung's number.

The call connected after three rings, and Doyoung's soft, curious voice came through. "Hello?"

"Bunny!" Junkyu nearly shouted, his voice filled with uncontainable joy. "They're moving! I feel them! I felt them last night, and they did it again this morning!" His words spilled out in a rush, too fast and too loud.

Doyoung winced, holding his phone a little farther from his ear. "Calm down, brother," he said, his tone both amused and concerned. "Who's moving? Feel what?"
