Being pregnant really wasn't all that.

Nobody had ever said it was...but nobody had really specified it wasn't, so bam loophole.

Lately Jimin was feeling... kind of completely and utterly miserable. He was still getting nauseous which wasn't exactly common considering how far along he was. He was almost constantly tired, and things felt a bit repetitive, monotonous.

He knew his state was effected by what his mom had said. Her words just broke him. Yes she had problems and it was clear she lost all her care for him but he was still her son and the fact she could look him in the eye and say such things hurt, it really fucking hurt.

He just couldn't get it off his mind, he tried to he really did, but it was as if the words were imprinted there and it was all becoming too much.

Jungkook was trying absolutely anything he could think of to cheer the other up, showering him in a boatload of compliments, doing little things like making him meals and letting him take long naps.

He wanted Jimin to be as happy and relaxed as humanly possible. He could tell he was still stressed from all the hectic things happening and slowly he was running out of ideas on what he could do to help.

Jungkook sighed to himself, "Jeonsan," he called, the toddler almost immediately walking in from where he was playing in the living room.

"Why don't you go wake up mama," he said softly, stooping down to Jeonsan's level and ruffling his hair. Jeonsan nodded, bright smile on his lips and waddled off to the room.

"Mama!" Jeonsan screeched, climbing up onto the bed and crawling over to Jimin. The other moved around in his sleep, mumbling a bit before his eyes fluttered open.

"Jeonsan?" He croaked out, voice crackly from just waking up. The toddler beamed, rolling to his side so he could see Jimin's stomach. "Baby!" He squealed, putting his hands over the surface as usual, "Hi baby!" He bursted, leaning his head down, awaiting some sort of answer.

When he didn't receive one as always he pouted. Jimin noticed it, sitting up as he chuckled. His eyes drifted over to his alarm calm, mouth falling slightly open as he realized it was already noon.

He slid out of bed, helping Jeonsan down as he quickly paced into the kitchen. "Jungkook." He blurted, frown evident on his lips.

Jungkook glanced over to him smiling brightly from just hearing the others voice. But it faltered once he noticed the saddened look on Jimin's face, so he walked over standing in front of him for a few seconds.

Jungkook placed himself behind Jimin, back hugging him as he swayed them to the side, slowly yet comforting, "baby what's wrong?" He questioned, leaning close to press a kiss against the others cheek.

Jimin's features lifted a bit after that, "n-no-nothing." He stammered weakly. Jungkook shook his head, leaning away so that he was now facing Jimin.

"You don't have to act like you're okay if you don't feel like it."

Jimin's eyes widened, shaking his head promptly, "I'm okay I promise...if I wasn't I'd tell you." Jimin convinced, leaning in to close the gap between them, pressing a light peck against Jungkook's lips.

"You're gonna be the death of me," Jungkook chuckled softly, sighing as he went back to making breakfast.

Jimin giggled, making his way over to the couch, Jeonsan excitedly trailing behind. He let out a small breath, picking up his phone, brows furrowing as noticed a number he wasn't familiar with had texted him.

The text had read 'hey Jimin, sorry I never reached out or called when you first gave me your number I kinda forgot and just got really busy, anyways how are you??' -Taehyung

Jimin wasn't going to lie he'd also forgotten about when he'd met Taehyung randomly, it was months ago and overtime things just left his mind...and obviously a lot of crazy stuff went down after that.

Jimin decided to just send a quick 'I'm good, how are you?' Text, setting his phone down right after, jolting a bit as the phone then started to ring.

He answered it after seeing it was the same number, confused why Taehyung would call him. "Uh Hello?" He spoke questionably, hearing a quick gasp from the other side.

"Jimin you answered!" Taehyung gushed. "Of course I did why wouldn't I?" Jimin laughed lightly, still confused why the other called.

"Hmm guess you're right...anyways I just like calling better and I wanted to see how you were and see if we could catch up, I mean it's just been so long!"

Jimin contemplated it for a second, it truly had been so long since he'd been out or even remotely saw any friends, and he was still feeling a bit down, plus Taehyung has always been the sweetest person and the world, constantly cheering him up back in high school...so maybe it wasn't a bad idea.

"Well like I said I'm...good, and yeah I'd love to catch up sometime." Jimin said cheerfully, glancing to the side to see Jeonsan sitting next to him, tentatively waiting for the call to end.

"Great! How about I text you some details on where we can meet like a cafe or something. Just let me know when you can okay!" Taehyung explained.

Jimin agreed, telling Taehyung he had to go, ending the call with a quick bye.

After that Jungkook had walked in, about to tell them that breakfast was ready. "Who was that?" He asked quickly glancing over to Jimin's phone then back at him.

"Taehyung." Jimin smiled, "he wants to meet me and just catch up on some stuff I guess, it'd be nice though I do miss him." Jimin added shyly.

Jungkook nodded, "Yeah of course...but uhh you might want to mention you're pregnant beforehand." He laughed lightly.

Jimin shrugged, "it's Tae we're talking abut it's not like he's gonna care he'll just probably be happy for me as always... but just really confused."

"Guess you're right, just be careful going out okay?" Jungkook more so demanded then asked.

"For the 100th time I'm pregnant not disabled!" Jimin snapped in annoyance. Jungkook simply chuckled, "You're cute when you get mad."

Jimin rolled his eyes, huffing as he held back a slight laugh, "whatever."

It was a week later that Jimin and Taehyung decided finally meet up, Jimin was excited but he couldn't lie he was a bit nervous.

He barely ever went out in public by himself anymore, so it felt a bit weird as he was now sitting in a small cafe alone, waiting for the other to arrive.

He hummed quietly to himself, eyes drifting around the small interior of the building. The tones of wall were light brown and a mixture of peach in some areas. The walls were decorated in fake vines, stretching from one side to the other.

It had a comforting vibe to it, the deep smell of coffee that wafted through the air making it ten times better.

Once Jimin heard the resounding jingle from the bell at the front door he immediately glanced up, smiling as he saw his old friend.

Taehyung's eyes scanned across the room in search from the other, once he found him promptly paced forward.

"Jimin!" He beamed cheerfully, opening his arms to greet his old friend with a hug. So Jimin stood up, action causing Taehyung's arms to drop and eyes to widen.
