"are you sure you're ok?"

I'm sitting at the side of the pool, dipping my feet in the water while Yoongi is standing beside me, looking at joon playing by himself in the playground. I sigh and roll my eyes. "yes Yoongi. I'm ok. I just wanna rip a bitch's head off."

He actually giggles at this and I look at his gummy grin surprised and feel hotter this summer evening. "did I say something funny? I want him to rot in hell for what he did."

He sits cross-legged beside me. "then why don't you confront him?"

I grit my teeth. "I need to see one more person to be sure of what happened."

He reluctantly puts his toe in the water but immediately pulls back making a face. It's my turn to giggle. "Kitty cat!"

He scowls at me. "shut up. It's cold."

He's now more comfortable around me and doesn't continuously talk about me going back. I look at his calm side profile. "I never told you...I'm sorry for sneaking out of my classes back then. You tried so hard to win me the privilege, make time to take me there and back, and I...I disappointed you."

He turns and actually smiles at me without any anger or sarcasm. "I never blamed you for that...it was bound to happen at one point...I mean you rebelling against them putting you in a cage. Also, you didn't do anything kids your age wouldn't...you were just...you were special."

A smile creeps onto my face and my chest warms up...it's the first time someone refers to me being a femiculus as being special!

***

Femiculus are the new result of genetic changes over the years. Their existence doesn't even reach a century. They mostly don't even get found out in their lifetime because they are not gay or never get pregnant. Their only difference from other males is having a uterus and being able to get pregnant and nothing else. The reason for this new type of men is unknown. There is no statistic of their population since their chances of conception are also low. so many men could be born as femiculus and die without ever knowing. Their chances of making a woman pregnant is also low but not impossible and with new methods, they can easily do it and live "normal lives".

At least this was what the public believed. Many still beings homophobic, could not grasp the idea of a man getting naturally pregnant by another man. Even giving birth for them was illegal and they should've gotten abortion if they were unlucky enough.

It has changed in the last decade. Countries started legalizing same-sex marriage and accepting femiculus too as a result. There few countries that don't have laws recognizing them now. However, public opinion, especially among older generations, is with disgust towards them. They are considered abominations, not meant to exist.

That's the society jimin is struggling to survive in without his kid being scarred mentally for life.

I'm going back to my room after speaking to jimin when mom stops me in my tracks with a serious look and I know it's going to get really ugly really fast. "what were you talking about with him?"

I sigh. "just put a mic on me or something if you're so worried."

She snaps at me. "you made a mistake before and it seems like nothing's stopping you from doing it again."

I'm getting really bothered by her sarcastic tone now. "jimin and joon aren't mistakes. Weren't you worried I was gonna die alone? Well, I decided I wanna stay with my kid and his father."

I'm not really planning on that but I just wanna see how she'll react and I'm feeling a bit sadistic watching her red face. "don't you dare min Yoongi! I did not raise you to be like this!"

I shrug. "well maybe as you once said, it's in my side of the family to be like this."

She deflates a bit and guilt fills her eyes. "I didn't mean that Yoongi and you know it. don't use it against me. If you're so desperate for a boy, get together with someone but not jimin."

I'm shocked, my eyebrows almost reaching my hairline. "are you seriously giving me your blessing for a gay relationship? I need to record this!"

She scoffs. "don't be ridiculous! I just don't want you around him. You think I'm trying to tell you he's not good for you, but I'm actually saying the opposite."

The hallway's lights are dim and the sun has set outside. I look at her concerned eyes and know that I couldn't have wished for a better mother than her.

"and I hear you. can't I even be around him as his cousin?! I promise I won't accidentally get him pregnant again!"

She furiously hits my chest, a rather strong fist, and it actually hurts. "say that again, I dare you! I don't even know why I'm wasting my time talking to you. I should just talk to jimin since he's the only adult between you too."

I'm starting to feel a headache now. "mom I won't touch him ok? He doesn't want me to anyway. Chill!"

She huffs and turns around, going into her room. I think dad being away for too long is starting to affect her. She needs to let some steam off jeez!

I go to my room and drop myself on the bed face down. Our talk made me go back to the times I watched him sneak off his dance classes to spend time with that bunny boy. He thought I didn't know but I was watching from my car while studying for my exams. It was stressful for me to make time for this three times a week back then but I did it for jimin. He was then a teenager and being at home all day wasn't good for his mental health and social skills.
