Painful Love | Jikook Fanfic

Part 38: Promise

Author's POV

-3 months later-

3 months passed. Minjung and Jungmin are now stable. They look still like actual newborn babies. Jimin, well, he's still in a fragile and weak state. He's merely a statue that does nothing but breathes. Jungkook's heart broke every single time he saw Jimin in such a weak state but he never expressed it. Neither emotionally nor physically but no one know what he really feels behind closed doors. He would often cries himself to sleep, wishing that it was him and not Jimin that was in coma.

Seoyun is 8 months pregnant which means her due time is next week. Ever since that 'accident', she has not been able to properly talk to Jungkook. Whenever she would take the first step, she would always see Jungkook crying by Jimin's side while holding his hand. Her heart broke. And she blamed her for that. If only, if only she didn't support HIM in his bad works. If only she had stopped him the first time. If only she didn't accept his proposal. If only she didn't get brainwashed by him. If only. Those same 2 words echoed in her mind. The same 2 words of guilt, anger and pain. What could she have done back then? She was blinded by love and that is the same reason why she hates herself. If she wasn't pregnant, she would have suicided long ago. But her guilt was too strong for her to kill herself. And she just couldn't hurt the innocent life inside of her.

"Hey baby! How are you?" Jungkook asked happily as he took a seat next to Jimin and kissed his knuckles. He caressed Jimin's silky blond hair and placed a chaste kiss on his forehead.

"I know you are." Jungkook chuckled and ruffled his hair. It would have been better if Jimin was awake but that wasn't the case.

"Jungkook." A deep voice called out as the door opened. Taehyung smiled warmly and came through the door with Minjung in his arms. He held the door for a while as Jin came in holding Jungmin in his arms. The door clicked closed while Jin and Taehyung walked closer to Jungkook who had a big bunny smile. The said male carefully took Minjung from Taehyung and carefully lowered her near Jimin.

"Look who's here baby, Minjung. Say hi to appa Minnie." Jungkook cooed in a childish voice swaying Minjung back and forth.

"G-Gahh!" Baby Minjung cooed and fisted her palms around Jimin's cute short chubby fingers. Jungkook smiled and pecked Minjung's chubby and puffy cheeks. He was lucky God pitied him and sent Minjung back or else he would have been devastated. Now he's just praying for Jimin's recovery.

"N-Ngghh!" Another baby cooed pretty loudly gaining everyone's attention. Jungkook chuckled and lifted Minjung up unwrapping her tiny fingers around Jimin's before scooping her in Taehyung's arms. Jungkook took whiny Jungmin into his arms and placed it beside Jimin, holding onto the small baby.

"Look at him Jimin, he's so whiny. Just like you." He chuckle and kissed Jimin's bare forehead. His smile faltered as his eyes brimmed with tears. Jin and Taehyung noticed before glancing at each other with sad expressions. During these past few months, Jungkook would not show his emotions whatsoever. He decided that he had to stay strong for his babies and Jimin. But now, he couldn't retain his tears seeing Jimin not reacting at all. He was like a statue that only breathes. This thought alone hurt his heart no matter how hard he would hid his emotions and pain.

Jin caressed his back drawing soothing circles on his back. Jungkook hiccuped and turned around to muffle his cries and sobs in Jin's shoulders. Jin lowered to Jimin and hugged Jungkook even tighter forcing his tears not to come out.

"H-Hyung, I-I h-h-hate seeing J-Jimin in s-such a s-state." He stammered unable to steady his breathing. Jin became worried and started to stroke the back of Jungkook's neck. He knew he would always calm down when someone did that and this somehow calmed him thankfully.

"I know Kook, I know. But Jimin will be alright. He is a strong man, we all know that. I'm sure he'll be fine real soon. Times ticks quickly Kook. And this phase will pass quickly. Don't worry. We will all be happy again." He spoke still stroking the back of Jungkook's neck. The latter pulled awat reluctantly and nodded. He swiped his tongue across his dried lips and smiled.

"Thank you hyung." He smiled warmly to Jin who pinched his cheeks and cooed.

"Alright, this moment is really sweet and all but I kinda need help since Minjung peed on me." Taehyung spoke from behind whipping Jungkook and Jin's heads before bursting into loud laughters.

"She did it on me last week." Jin added while chuckling taking Minjung in his arms pecking Taehyung's thin lips. Taehyung removed the black jacket that Minjung peed on while cringing and tossed it onto the sofa earning a smack on his head.

"Yah! Don't you know that you're not supposed to put dirty clothes on the sofa? You could've held it in your arms. You wouldn't die if you held a dirty jacket for a while."Jin scolded rolling his eyes. Taehyung opened his mouth to protest but kept quiet since it was useless to argue with Jin and obeyed taking the dirtied jacket in his arms while cringing.

Jungkook was laughing silently that the couple before focusing back on Jungmin who was playing with Jimin's sleeves while giggling. Jimin worked wonders even when asleep. Jungmin is the baby who is peaceful and quiet. He doesn't even cry loudly like Minjung does. Jungmin is rather the complete opposite of Minjung. The little baby girl is very active. Always playing, giggling and not falling asleep at all. It looks like she's not tired at all. But Jungmin is tired like 24/7.

Jungkook scooped Jungmin in his arms since it was time for the babies to sleep. He pecked Jimin's forehead and closed the door with a soft click.

"Suga hyung and J-Hope hyung are coming to take care of Jimin. Jinnie and I are going home with Minjung to change her then we'll leave her at your place." Taehyung explained patting Jungkook's back who held Jungmin in his arms. The young father nodded and smiled at Taehyung.

"Yeah. I'll go home to hand Jungmin to eomma and appa then I'm coming back for Jimin." He said and gazed at the sleepy Jungmin. Taehyung sighed and placed 2 firm hands on Jungkook shoulders.

"Kook, I think you should really take a day off. Look at you! Eyebags under you eyes and you look so thin. You can't keep staying up all night looking at Jimin. You are around Jimin 24/7. You're not only hurting yourself but us all. Do you ever think how Jimin would react if he saw you in such a state. He sure won't be happy at all." He concluded with a loud tired sigh. Jungkook removed his hands from his shoulders gently.

"Look Taehyung. I really don't care about myself. I've hurt Jimin more than I'm hurting myself. And as far as me staying up to look after Jimin then it's my duty as a husband to do that. What if- What if at night Jimin's eyes opened and I wouldn't be there? He would be so disappointed in me. And I can't afford his disappointment after all those things I did to him." He clarified shaking his head stubbornly at Taehyung's advice. The latter sighed and nodded.

"Fine. Just-Just take enough rest ok?" He asked worriedly to Jungkook who nodded reassuringly.

"Sure Taehyung. Take care of Minjung." Taehyung nodded and scurried away leaving Jungkook alone with Jungkook, his thoughts and somebody else.

"We'll go home ok Jungmin?" He cooed and pecked Jungmin's chubby cheeks and glanced at Jimin's peaceful face one last time and left.

"I won't let anyone hurt you guys. This is my promise."
