Part XXV

(YOONGI)

They transferred Eun Ae to the VIP room for her to rest and she was still sleeping due to exhaustion. The nurse told me that her child was in the nursery. So, the other members and I went to the nursery to see the child.

We saw the baby. The nurse carried the little boy and handed the baby to me. The baby was so small, I was afraid to drop him. The members gathered around him to take a peek at the little angel.

“Hi, baby? Do you know BTS?”, Jin asked.

“Hyung, he doesn't even know how to open his eyes yet”, Jungkook said.

Taehyung and Jimin both held each of his hands.

“He's so cute”, Namjoon and Hoseok said together.

I was suddenly hit with a feeling of wanting to protect this child. I silently promised him that I will always be there for the child even if I'm not his father. As if sensing my promise the baby gave his first squeal of cry. He was nervous and alarmed. Even the members were worried.

The nurse told us to bring the baby to his mother because he needs to drink milk.

“Can I drink the milk too?”, Jungkook asked ignorantly.

“Yah, you want Yoongi to kill you?”, Jin said and hit him on his neck.

“Why? What's wrong with what I said?”.

Namjoon whispered something on Jungkook's ear and it made him embarassed.

“Oh, sorry Yoongi hyung, I thought it was in a bottle.” Everyone laughed at his remark.

“That's why you're our baby, Jungkookie”, Hoseok teased while pinching his cheek.

We went to Eun Ae's room together with the child. She was already awake. Her face lit up when she saw me carrying the baby. I gave him to her and the members congratulated her. I asked the members to leave for my wife and the child to have a private time. The young ones were protesting but with the glare I sent them, they didn't have a choice but to leave.

I kissed Eun Ae on her forehead and was rewarded with her sweet smile. I then left the room for her to breastfeed the baby.

When I was at the hallway, I decided to call our parents to let them know that she already gave birth. My parents informed me that they will visit them at the hospital, but Eun Ae's parents were still at the resort and can't visit them because her father was weak so, I promised that we will be the one to visit them.

Later that day, my parents came. My mother was so happy when she looked at the baby on Eun Ae's arm. She carried the baby and said “Oh, he looked so much like you, Yoongi, when you were a baby”.

I was surprised by my mother's reaction. He looked like me? Does this mean that he is mine?

“He even smiles like you”, my father was playing with the baby's small fists.

I tried absorbing all the things my parents said. I suddenly felt dizzy. After all this time, how stupid I was to think that my wife and my friend Hoseok, betrayed me. Those crazy nights that she was sleeping beside me, all the while she was lovingly enduring my foolish thoughts about the father of the baby. You fool!

When it was time for my parents to leave, my mother looked at him adoringly, “Take good care of your family, Yoongi”.

“Yes mom and thank you for making me realize how foolish I have been”.

“It's not too late, son”, my mother said as if she understood what I was going through.

I approached Eun Ae's bed when my parents left. The baby was already sleeping beside her. I sat on the chair beside the bed. I kissed the forehead of the sleeping baby and looked up at Eun Ae's beautiful face, and caught her staring back at me.

(EUN AE)

I felt the sudden change in him when his mother told him about the baby looking like him.

Now, he is sitting beside his son looking like a father begging forgiveness while he kissed him. I was touched when he looked at me with those teary eyes and held my hands.

“I'm so sorry, Eun Ae. I'm sorry for thinking that he is not my son and I'm sorry for giving you so much pain”, he paused and I wiped his tears “I love you, Eun Ae”.

How much I have longed for those words, words that my heart was aching to hear. I wasn't able to control the tears that fell from my eyes. Tears of happiness.

“I love you, Yoongi. I have loved you when I was your fan girl and I loved you more, now that you're my husband”.

He engulfed me in his embrace and kissed me on my lips. We didn't notice when the door opened.

“Yah! Namjoon, cover JK’s eyes”, Jin said.

“Why? I also want to look”, JK said curiously while the other members where at the door entrance laughing at our silly scenario.
