"We're going to tell Hyun-Ji's parents this weekend."

Jungkook placed a comforting hand over hers as he told Taehyung of their plans. They all sat at their usual table in the library, the short silence broken by the sound of the librarian returning books to the stacks.

"What about yours?" Taehyung asked.

"Dad is still away. We'll tell them next week when he comes back."

"I hope they don't take it too badly..." Hyun-Ji said, her head down and voice incredibly small.

"What do you think they'll do?" Taehyung asked Hyun-Ji. He already had an idea of how Jungkook's parents would react.

"I-I don't know. I'm more worried about my dad's reaction than my mom's. I wouldn't tell them at all if I could, but it's better to tell them before they find out on their own."

"And I'll be there with you," Jungkook said as he squeezed her hand, offering her a smile.

"Everything will be ok," Taehyung said with a bright smile. "They'll be shocked, but once they process everything they'll be all over the baby. They won't be able to put her down."

Hyun-Ji began to smile at the thought of her mother holding their baby, cooing to her and planting kisses all over her sweet face. Maybe even her father would warm up to the idea of being a grandfather once she was here.

She finally wouldn't have to hide anymore.

Taehyung looked down at Hyun-Ji's belly. "Is she moving?" He whispered.

Hyun-Ji smiled and nodded. "She's quieter during the day, but she might be awake."

He hesitantly extended his hand toward her. "May I?"

She nodded again and he gently placed his hand on her tummy. His curious expression immediately softened into a smile. She was still relatively small despite being over halfway through her pregnancy.

Hyun-Ji guided his hand to a better spot on her tummy and waited for a while. "Hmm. Maybe she's sleeping after all. Dr. Kim said that I rock her to sleep when I'm moving throughout the day. She's wide awake at night," she giggled.

Jungkook looked around to ensure they were still alone in their quiet corner, then placed his hand on her belly as well. Hyun-Ji looked at him and smiled, placing a hand on each of theirs.

"Come on, baby," she said softly.

After a few moments of nothing, Hyun-Ji apologized. "I guess she's really sleep-"

Just then her abdomen began to move, and Taehyung's face lit up, his jaw dropped and his eyes were the biggest she'd ever seen. He looked like a fascinated child, amazed at what he just felt.

"It feels like she's rolling around!" Taehyung said in a hushed voice, grinning from ear to ear.

"Yeah, it does!" Jungkook agreed, his eyes sparkling.

Maybe she was wrong in her assumption that her parents would react so negatively. They would love the baby unconditionally. Just like the three of them did already. No matter the circumstances of her conception, it was still their flesh and blood.
