When Aeri said she was going to tell, she didn't lie this time. She told, and told EVERYONE. The entire grade and even people in others grades knew about Jin. It didn't take long for it to spread.

Namjoon had to go to school everyday that week, people constantly asking about Jin and 'how did he let that happen?' and stuff like 'Is he aborting?' and such. It felt like too much for Namjoon to handle.

Of course his friends found out as well. They were less judgmental about the situation, just worried for Namjoon, who seemed to be stressed a lot more.

What Namjoon hated most was that he had to listen to people slut-shame Jin. It made him sick to his stomach hearing what other students would whisper about him. Namjoon confronted a few, but there were too many of them talking about Jin, he'd given up at this point.

But Aeri's reign of terror was coming to and end today. After a long week of listening to people slut-shame Jin, her stupid little plan backfired when her ex decided he was going to speak up.

His name was Luhan and he approached Namjoon after lunch that day. Namjoon assumes he was someone else trying to ask questions about Jin and immediately got angry.

"Look, if you're gonna say something about Jin, I don't care. I just want people to stop bothering me." Namjoon murmured as he opened his locker. "I'm not talking to you about Jin, it's about Aeri." He said.

Namjoon turned to face him with a raised eyebrow. "I'm her ex." He said and Namjoon's eyes widened a little. "What she did is fucked up. That's nobody's business to tell and the fact that she's acting like it never happened to her is crazy." Luhan said and Namjoon nodded.

"I still have screenshots of texts we exchanged when she told me she was pregnant. If she's going to try and make you guy's life miserable, I just wanna tell you I can make hers even worse. You won't have to worry about her anymore after I take care of things." Luhan said.

"Thank you." Namjoon felt a sense of relief go through him. She was finally gonna get what she deserved.

...

Jin was sitting on his bedroom, taking a break from school work. He couldn't focus knowing that everyone at school knew about him, and the fact that he was getting bullied by his peers.

It was mentally painful, Jin will admit. He knew it could've been prevented, but he was too naive to realize things like this could happen if he wasn't being careful.

When Namjoon arrived home after school that day, he went straight to his room and broke down. He'd been holding in his emotions all week long and he couldn't take it any longer.

His phone buzzed and he picked it up.

Yoongi: Dude, do you see the things they're posting online? It's fucking mad...

Namjoon opened Instagram and checked to see what his classmates were posting. It only made him more upset to see the things they were saying, telling Jin to consider the 'coat hanger' and that he shouldn't keep it.

Namjoon ended up blocking a lot of people and turning his account on private to avoid the comments. "Fuck..." He breathed it out, running his fingers through his hair at the realization that Jin was probably seeing these things being posted about him as well.

Namjoon heard a knock on his door. Jin entered quietly and closed the door behind him. He turned to the younger with teary eyes, Jin shaking his head. "B-Baby-" "Shhh, Namjoon, I'm okay." Jin hugged him, Namjoon hugging back as he broke into tears.

"I'm so s-sorry this is happening to you." Namjoon breathed out. "It was gonna happen sooner or later. I can't let it bother me. Remember, Aeri is gonna get the same treatment as me once she gets exposed. It won't matter in the end." Jin reminded Namjoon.

"It's just, t-things they're saying is so fucking c-cruel." Namjoon said, feeling terribly guilty about it. "Joon, don't cry." Jin spoke softly. "I can't help it." Namjoon murmured.

They were quiet for quite some time, Jin hugging him until he calmed down enough to talk to him.  "Everything will be fine." Jin mumbled and Namjoon nodded. Jin caressed his face and wiped the stray tears away, placing a kiss on his forehead.

"Can we cuddle?" Jin asked. "Of course we can." Namjoon said. Jin carefully laid on the bed, taking a couple of minutes to find a comfortable position as Namjoon laid beside him.

He turned the tv on and scrolled through the channels before the both agreed on a show to watch. Jin heard Namjoon sigh heavily. "Babe, I don't want you to worry about what's going on at school. Just forget about it, okay?" Jin whispered and Namjoon hummed in response.

Namjoon wrapped his arms around Jin's waist, placing his hands on his small round tummy and rubbing it gently. Jin had been contemplating this all week, and decided maybe he should tell Namjoon now.

"Joon?" Jin mumbled. "Yes?" Namjoon said. "I've been thinking about this all week, and I've decided that...maybe it's best I keep our baby." Jin said.

Namjoon began tearing up again, Jin turning to face him. He blinked a few times, a couple of tears falling. "Aww, Joonie don't cry." Jin gave him a comforting smile. "I know how upset you were when I said I wanted to give him up for adoption, but I think it's best I keep him." Jin said. Namjoon nodded, Jin leaning in and connecting their lips in a loving kiss.

"I love you so much, baby." Namjoon said. "I love you too, everything's going to be okay, I promise." Jin reassured. And he was right. Everything would be okay.
