I stand in front of the mirror examining my neck.

"Aish.. what is he, a vacuum or something?" I complain to myself as I cover his "marks", as he calls it, with concealer.

Finally done, I walk out of my bathroom and into the living room to see Tae and Jimin versing each other in a game as Hoseok cheers them on. I rub my head in annoyance.

"I swear.. I'm babysitting a bunch of children." I mumble to myself as I grab a banana milk out of the fridge. I decide to sit on the couch arm rest as I sip my drink.

"Suck it kitty! You're about to lose!" Jimin snickers while Tae huffs. Jimin suddenly gets hit by a flying shell before he hits the finishing line.

"Haha! You were saying shortie?" Taehyung smirks and leans back, stretching his hands as Jimin looks flustered at the screen.

"Rematch."

Hoseok laughs out loud. "Yah Jimin, you need to control your cockiness. Karma is out to get you."

I nod in agreement with Hoseok as Jimin pouts. Taehyung suddenly kisses my cheek and before I know it, he steals a sip from my banana milk.

"Yah! That's not fair. You can't just distract me to then steal my food.." I whine as he looks at me innocently.

"You're just mad he kissed you for food instead of genuine affection." Jimin says nonchalantly. I huff as I sip on my drink more, glaring at Taehyung.

"Oh? Do you want my affection then?" Tae asks cluelessly. I grumble to myself and look away.

They all laugh at me as I sulk under my invisible cloud.

"Ah.. Anyways.. my turn now! Jimin buzz off." Hoseok springs up cheerfully and takes the controller to verse Tae in Mario Kart.

Jimin whines and takes Hoseok's spot in the chair next to me.

"So Minseo, did you guys use protection?"

I nearly spit out my drink. Taehyung glances weirdly over at Jimin for a brief second.

"What? I'm just asking as her best friend. Wouldn't want to pass on any diseases would we?" Jimin says casually. I cough and glare at him.

"What is with you and always questioning my personal life eh?" I scold him. He continues to watch me, waiting for an answer. "Yess, we used protection." I huff as I sip my banana milk in embarrassment.

"Good to hear." Jimin nods satisfied, attention now on the screen.

"Are you saying that I have diseases?" Taehyung suddenly questions as he focuses on the race. Hoseok snorts.

"I mean.. you were a cat." Jimin retorts. Taehyung makes a low growling sound.

"Doesn't mean I have diseases.." he whines quietly to himself. I chuckle and pat his head for comfort.

"And not just that but, Minseo doesn't need to become pregnant now."

Taehyung's hand flinches in a way that suddenly stops his character for a second, allowing Hoseok to pass by and win.

"Yay! My distraction worked!" Hoseok cheers. I stare wide eyed at Hoseok. Jimin laughs loudly holding his stomach. "What? What's with you two?" Hoseok asks cluelessly when he sees the dumbfounded expressions of Tae and I.

"I think you offended them." Jimin giggles mischievously.

"And what's wrong with it if I were to get pregnant eh? You're not my mom." I reply boldly to Hoseok. Taehyung looks at me bewildered. Hoseok shrugs.

"I don't know. I really only said it to distract Taehyung. Sorry bro.. but now I think about it, you haven't gotten a job yet, you're clumsy as heck, and you maybe aren't ready for that stress?" Hoseok purses his lips as he lists reasons. My face burns slightly from the unintentional insult.

"I would figure something out.." I mumble offended and turn away. "I'm going to get another banana milk."

"Ohh get me one!"

"Get it yourself." I huff. Jimin frowns.

"Hey I wasn't the one that said you were incapable of being a mom!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taehyung is currently bidding goodbye to Hoseok and Jimin as I sit on the couch. My eyebrows furrow as I sit in thought.

Am I really not capable..?

"Hey? Baby you okay?" I snap out of it when a hand caresses my face. Taehyung's worried face comes into focus. I smile half way and wave my hand.

"I'm fine. I was just thinking." I chuckle. He doesn't seem convinced and sits next to me, lifting me to sit in his lap.

"What's bothering you?" He removes the stray strands of hair from my face and tucks them behind my ear. I look at him with puppy eyes. "I know something's bothering you.. tell me. I'm here to listen and support you."

I pout. "It's nothing.. I guess I'm just a little butt-hurt from Hoseok's comment earlier.."

"About being incapable to be a mother?" He raises an eyebrow. I whine and push my head against his chest.

"Am I really not?"

"Oh- hold on, I didn't say you weren't-"

"My mom.. she always struggled to keep us safe. Safe from the world's reality. He was always at work.. but when he was home he yelled at my mom. She thought we couldn't hear them.." I sigh as Taehyung wraps his arms around me as I talk. "We knew that he refused to pay for any toys.. or forms of fun for us. So my mom would get donation boxes from people who went out of their way to give us what we couldn't have even though we were well-off. He always said it would make us weak. She tried so hard despite my father holding her back. She tried to provide for us. Sure she was unemployed at the time.. she was clumsy.. she was expecting to have kids but it happened when she was young." I list the same reasons that Hoseok had mentioned. "She and my father were in an arranged marriage for power. She ran into all these unexpected surprises.. and she was still capable. But what if.. I'm not as strong as her..? What if I really am not capable."

Taehyung stays silent. I look up to see if he was still listening. He smiles down at me and kisses the tip of my nose.

"You don't have to worry about any of that.. You don't have to be employed because I will provide for you. You aren't clumsy.. you just make mistakes like the rest of us. And you won't have the stress that your mom had raising you alone. Because you will have me by your side the entire time. You will be the best mother the world has ever seen."
