As Taehyung and Jungkook walked down the crowded hallway they couldn't help but to notice that all eyes were on them. Somehow the news got out and spread like wildfire.

Their peer's faces were covered in sympathy but their stares still felt like fire burning into the couple's souls which only pushed them even further into the darkness their minds were already battling.

All they wanted to do was go back home and snuggle on the couch with Dae. After Tae's miscarriage they thought about the possibility of losing Dae quite often which terrified them and made them very clingy to the child but he didn't mind. In fact he loved the attention.

The two were interrupted from their thoughts when Yugueom walked up to them with apologetic eyes.

"Hey guys, I heard the news and I'm really sorry you two had to go through that. I'll always be here if you need me," he patted Jungkook's back before walked off to his first period class.

The whole day they were swarmed by people. Their teachers went easy on them, people they didn't know made them aware of their support. Even the janitor went on and on about... something. Oh what was it? Something about therapy? No... not quite. Oh well. Who knows what the hell he was saying. He himself probably didn't even know what he was saying.

After going through hell and back, Tae and Jungkook were finally home. Of course when they reached their apartment their door was practically covered in flowers and cards. You know that saying, it's the thought that counts? The people sending the flowers only had good intentions but to the couple, it felt horrible. All they wanted a distraction but everywhere they went someone or something had to remind them and fill their minds with bad thoughts again.

"We don't have to read these. We can just throw them out," Jungkook suggested to which Taehyung only nodded. Since he left the hospital he was pretty quiet. He really only talked to Jungkook but even with him he talked a lot less then before.

Tae picked up the sound asleep, almost, 1 year old and sat on the couch beside Jungkook.

"Kookie... I-I'm scared"

"Of what baby?"

"That we'll lose Dae like we lost the other baby. What if something happens to him when we're in class and we're not there with him?"

"Your parents take really good care of him. And if something did happen to him they would call us right away and we'd take him to the doctor so he's all better."

(a/n: don't worry i'm not tying to
foreshadow to anything)

"Then why couldn't they make the baby all better?"

It's odd how words can be so painful. It's not like you can hold them in your hand and touch them. So why can you feel them so much?

"I-it was just too late i guess. How about we watch some tv and distract ourselves? I don't want to talk or think about this anymore. Jungkook grabbed the remote and turned on Peppa Pig even though he hated it. He figured it would make Taehyung happy and that might make him a little happier.

"Kookie~ I thought you said they took Peppa off the tv and deleted it."

"Y-yeah, they- um, they just re...uploaded the episodes onto the tv...," Jungkook tried his best to lie. He never thought he would be watching Peppa Pig again but then again, here he was. Sitting on the couch staring at the bratty pig.

Taehyung smiled and rested his head on Jungkook's shoulder as he fell into a deep slumber.
