Real Name

Taehyung

"Jin? Jin, open the door." I call while knocking on the bathroom door. Jin vomits again and complains of severe stomach ache. "Jin are you okay?"

Jin opens the door wiping his mouth with a tissue. I wrap my arm on Jin's waist while scanning his face. He looks obviously pale and weak.

"This time, I won't let you do things your way. I will bring you to a different doctor. Your doctor is obviously not doing right. You should be well by now. It's been two weeks." I am already getting annoyed. He's been insisting that his doctor is doing okay but his issues are just getting worse.

** Luckily, Jin gave birth to a healthy baby boy with no breathing problems or any complications. Originally, he wanted to give birth at 34 weeks to ensure that there will be no health issues to our baby but due to his frequent vomiting and stomach ache, he gave up and an emergency c-section was performed at 32 weeks. After staying in the NICU for 8 days, we were able to bring Soobin home.

"Baby, I'm fine, really." He insists again and I hate it when he's pretending to be okay when his body tells me otherwise.

I cupped his face and gave him a quick kiss on his pale lips. "You're not. Now you are but tomorrow or the next day, the same thing will happen. You will go to the doctor that I will recommend. No more complaints. You will listen to me."

Finally, though I know he's hesitant, he nods. "Let's get ready."

"We can cancel the dinner if you're not feeling well," I said as I watch him walk inside the walk-in closet. I followed and he's already choosing what to wear.

"We need to go. I'm good. Besides, uncle and your brother want to see Binnie. I don't want to steal their excitement about meeting our baby." Jin takes out some casual wear and starts to strip to change.

"Okay but you need to tell me if you're not feeling okay and we will go home." I walk towards him. Jin standing naked in front of me is just irresistible. I kiss his shoulders as I run my hands on his back. "I wish I can bend you over right now. You're so beautiful, Jin."

He giggles. Hearing his soft laugh is just so endearing and it gives me some sort of relief that he's not feeling any pain right now. He gives me a long, deep but very sensual kiss. "Just change before you forgot that I just gave birth. Move!"

He walks past me and makes his way inside our bedroom to change and I did what I have been told to do.

"Hyung is already in the restaurant and he's so hungry." I chuckled thinking about Jungkook-Hyung bombarding me with messages that he's hungry and already ordered a bowl of salad to ease his hunger.

Jin smiles as he settles himself with Soobin in his arms inside an SUV that father sent to pick us up. "He's early or are we late?"

"No, we're not. Father said they are about to leave their condo right now." I said.

The driver brings us to Brickstone and I noticed that Jin is unusually silent. He's playing with Soobin's small feet while our baby sleeps. I squeeze his thigh and give him a comforting smile.

We have been talking about meeting my family and he's very anxious about it. Even after telling him so many times that my parents accepted his truth, he's still reluctant to believe. The only person in the family who doesn't know that the baby is not mine is my step-brother and I don't think he needs to know.

"Jin, please relax. It's going to be fine. I'm sure and I will assure you that they will love you and our baby. He's mine. He's a Kim and that's all that matters. Okay?" I kissed his temple and our baby's foot to make them feel that I will stand for them.

The driver helps us unload the stroller and Jin carefully puts Soobin in it. He buckles him up and fixes his clothes making sure he is warm and comfortable. It's funny because accidentally, Soobin looks a lot like father and I am proud because for sure, my father will claim it.

As we ride the elevator, I can feel the tension building up inside Jin. I hugged him tightly. Once my parents saw our baby, I am pretty sure he will instantly feel better.

"Jin, wait," I called out and he stopped pushing the stroller. "Father wants me to pick them up at the driveway. They have several bags to carry."

"We need to come?"

I shake my head. "No. Room 506. Just go there. Hyung is already there. Don't worry, he's nice."

The elevator opens and I went in immediately.

Seokjin

I am feeling extra nervous as I push the stroller towards the room Taehyung reserved for the dinner.

It's weird. I will have some pains but once it goes away, it feels like nothing happened. And tonight, I decided to tell him about my illness before he finds it out himself. Taehyung has been very nice and loving and I promise not to keep a secret from him.

The door of the private room is open. It feels strange walking in this hallway after a long time. This is where I had my first dates. With Jungkook and with Taehyung. Too many bittersweet memories I have here in this restaurant. And I don't know what to feel that I'm back here. Now, with a baby in tow.

Taehyung's brother is already in the room. His back facing the door. His perfume smells oddly familiar. He has a sleeve tattoo peeking from his long sleeves and I remember, Jungkook has a sleeve tattoo as well. I tried to brush the thought. I am building a new life with Taehyung and that's how it's going to be.

"Hello?" I greeted the man who is currently busy with his mobile phone. I think he gets a little surprise because he immediately stands up to face me.

Both smiles on our faces fade. Realizing that we, perhaps, are facing our biggest fear.

I am facing my biggest fear right now. And I think I'm going to collapse as my heart is beating frantically that I almost want to throw up.

I hold tightly on the handle of the stroller. My body shaking. This cannot be. This is not true. I'm just dreaming.

Jungkook is not Taehyung's step-brother. That's impossible.

My hands shake even more when his gaze darts from me to my sleeping baby. He stares at Soobin and I can feel that he knows that the child is his.

He stares back at me. Shock is still painted on his face. I don't know what to do. I wanted the floor to swallow me or the roof to open and suck me out.

"Seokjin?" My heart beats even more that I need to clutch on to my chest when he called my name.

My real name.

A/N:

**I'm not a doctor but I read that as long as the baby is healthy with no breathing issues at 32 to 33 weeks, you can bring the baby home days or few weeks after giving birth. 😊
