Bobba Tae

🧋34☕

Jungkook's eating habits had caught the attention of both Jisoo and Seungmin over the past few days. As they traveled from place to place, they noticed how Jungkook’s portions had grown unusually large. It was hard for them to deny him anything, though, especially when he looked so adorable while eating his cheeks puffed out like a hamster, eyes sparkling with joy. However, the change hadn’t gone unnoticed by Elder Mrs. Kim, Taehyung’s grandmother, either.

One evening, after finishing yet another hearty meal, Jungkook suddenly clutched his stomach, his face paling. Without a word, he dashed to the washroom, leaving everyone concerned. Moments later, the sound of retching echoed through the quiet house. Elder Mrs. Kim hurried to him, gently rubbing his back as he emptied his stomach.

"Shhh, Tokki. It's okay," she cooed softly, helping him rinse his mouth before leading him to the bed. Jungkook looked utterly drained, his usually bright eyes dulled with exhaustion.

"Halmoni..." he whispered weakly, his voice trembling. "I feel dizzy..." A single tear slid down his flushed cheek, his red nose and tomato-like cheeks making him look even more fragile. His lips wobbled as though he might burst into tears any moment.

Mrs. Kim’s heart ached as she pulled him into a comforting hug. "Shhh, my sweet Tokki. Let halmoni see," she said, holding his face gently. "Do you feel tired often?"

Jungkook nodded faintly, his cheeks puffed out in a childlike pout.

"Do you feel nauseous?" she asked softly.

Another nod, this time slower.

"Do you crave things from time to time?"

Jungkook’s eyes widened slightly as he nodded again, the faintest hint of embarrassment on his face.

Mrs. Kim’s expression softened further as realization began to dawn on her. She cupped his cheek gently. "Oh, my precious cutie. Look at halmoni." She tilted his face to meet her gaze. "Have you been to a doctor to check this?"

Jungkook blinked, confusion evident in his expression. "Why?" he asked, his small voice laced with curiosity, his tired brain struggling to piece things together.

Mrs. Kim chuckled lovingly, brushing a strand of hair from his face. "Oh, my baby. Don’t worry about that now. Let halmoni call a doctor to take a look at you, okay?"

Jungkook hesitated, his lips wobbling again. "Halmoni, I... I need hyungie..."

Mrs. Kim’s heart melted at his innocent plea. She kissed the top of his head. "Okay, my sweet baby. Halmoni will call Taehyung-ah. But first, rest a little, okay? Let’s wait for the doctor to come."

Jungkook nodded obediently, his eyes fluttering closed as he nestled into the bed. Mrs. Kim stayed by his side, gently stroking his hair as her thoughts lingered on what could be causing these changes in her beloved Tokki.

The doctor completed Jungkook’s check-up while he sat on the bed, sipping his blueberry bobba tea with a pout. His curious doe eyes were fixed on the doctor, looking every bit like an innocent child trying to understand what was happening. The doctor chuckled softly at the adorably clueless patient in front of her, knowing he was about to receive news that would change his life.

"Mrs. Kim," the doctor addressed, glancing at Jungkook, who paused mid-sip to look at her, his cheeks puffed slightly.

"Yes, doctor-nim?" Jungkook responded, his voice soft yet curious.

The doctor smiled warmly. "You need to take even better care of yourself now, okay?"

Jungkook nodded firmly, though confusion danced in his eyes.

"Eat healthy food."

Another determined nod.

"Keep yourself hydrated."

Jungkook nodded again, his pout deepening slightly but still obedient.

"And follow the meal plan I’ll give you."

Once more, Jungkook nodded, sipping his tea. Then the doctor handed him a small box, instructing, "Take this and do the test as per the instructions. Once done, come back to me for confirmation."

Jungkook blinked at the kit in his hand, his pout deepening further as he read the label. But when realization dawned on him, his wide doe eyes darted back to the doctor, then to the kit, and back again. His cheeks flushed as tears began to pool in his eyes.

The doctor chuckled softly, patting his head. "Go on, Mrs. Kim. Take the test and let me know."

Jungkook swallowed nervously, clutching the kit as he shuffled into the washroom. Following the instructions carefully, his hands trembled as he waited for the results. When the lines appeared, his wide eyes brimmed with tears, cascading down his cheeks silently. He washed his hands and stepped out, clutching the kit tightly.

The doctor took one glance at the result and broke into a warm smile. "Congratulations, Mrs. Kim, on embracing motherhood," she announced, her voice gentle and kind.

Before Jungkook could process her words fully, the door to the room burst open. Taehyung stood there, panting heavily, his eyes wide with worry and emotion. His gaze fell on Jungkook, who was standing frozen, tears streaking his cheeks.

"Bobba..." Taehyung whispered, his voice cracking as he stepped toward Jungkook, his own eyes glistening. "Is it true?"

Jungkook stared at Taehyung, clutching the test kit in his trembling hands. His lips wobbled as tears streamed down his cheeks, and he nodded slowly. "Hyungie..." his voice was barely a whisper, filled with emotion.

Taehyung crossed the room in just a few strides, wrapping Jungkook in a warm, protective embrace. "Bobba," he murmured, his voice choked with both disbelief and joy, "we're having a baby?"

Jungkook nodded against Taehyung's chest, his tiny sniffles muffled by the fabric of Taehyung’s coat. "Hyungie... I-I didn’t know... but now I..." His words tumbled out incoherently, his emotions spilling over as he clung to Taehyung like a lifeline.

Taehyung pulled back just enough to cup Jungkook’s flushed cheeks, his thumbs wiping away the tears that continued to fall. His own tears glistened in his soulful eyes, but his smile was radiant, filled with overwhelming happiness. "My precious bobba," he whispered, his voice trembling. "You’re so amazing. You’re going to be the best parent, just wait and see."

Jungkook hiccupped, his lips wobbling into a small pout. "Hyungie... what if I mess up? What if I’m not good enough?"

Taehyung shook his head firmly, pressing a tender kiss to Jungkook’s forehead. "Don’t you ever say that," he said softly but firmly. "You’re already the most loving person I know. Our baby is the luckiest to have you."

Jungkook’s doe eyes shimmered with newfound hope as he stared at Taehyung. "Hyungie... do you really think I’ll be a good... mommy?"

Taehyung chuckled, pulling him into another hug. "The best," he said confidently. "Our baby’s going to adore you just like I do."

The doctor, who had been quietly observing the heartwarming exchange, smiled warmly. "It seems like you two are already ready for this journey. Congratulations again," she said before excusing herself to give the couple their privacy.

As the door closed behind the doctor, Taehyung tilted Jungkook’s chin up gently and kissed him softly, pouring all his love and reassurance into the gesture. "Bobba," he murmured, resting his forehead against Jungkook’s. "I can’t wait to see you glowing even more. You’re my whole world, and now our world’s about to get even brighter."

Jungkook giggled softly, his cheeks rosy. "Hyungie... I think I want jam and ice cream right now."

Taehyung laughed, the sound filled with pure joy. "Anything for you, my love. Let’s spoil you and our little one together."
