Fated | Taejin ✔️

Seventeen

Taehyung stared at Hoseok, sizing him up, wondering why he wanted to talk to him. He didn't have a reason to talk with Hoseok but to be respectful and honor Seokjin's request, he agreed.

"Jin tells me you two are together." Taehyung doesn't respond; he continues staring at Hoseok, trying to understand where he was getting at. "Jin is an amazing person, and though I messed up our marriage, I want him to be happy, so please, if you are not around him for the right reason, leave him be."

"I don't need you to tell me how amazing Jin is; I am fully aware. If you wanted him to be happy, you would have done right by him, so save me the speech and say what it is you want to say to me; if this is it, we can close the conversation right here."

Hoseok sighed, he hadn't seen Taehyung in years, but the man didn't seem to like him any more than he did back in high school. "My kids are my life; if you are going to be around Jin, I expect you to treat them well."

"I have no reason or intentions to mistreat your kids, as you can see; they take to me very well. If this is all, then I will go back inside."

"Take care of him, Taehyung." Taehyung rolled his eyes and walked into Jin's house, closing the door behind him.

He was greeted by Jin, who was standing in front of the door, "how did it go?"

"Nothing worth talking about. I think he is regretting what he lost, but that's a personal problem." Taehyung smiles and pulls Jin to him, "I have you now, and I am never letting you go." he kisses Jin's neck, resting his chin on Jin's shoulder.

*******

Time flew by, and before Jin knew it, Taehyung and Jimin had to return home. Jin didn't go to the airport with Taehyung to see him off as he knew he would cry, and he didn't want that to be how he and Taehyung parted until he saw him again.

Taehyung found it harder to leave Jin, knowing all he was going back to was work, as he had nothing else there, everything he wanted now resided in Seoul, and as the plane took off, sadness took over.

"Why don't you ask him to move to the U.S.," Jimin asks Taehyung seeing his boss/friend in a grumpy mood.

"He has his entire life here Jimin, that would be unfair of me, and it wouldn't be fair to Hosoek either because Jin would want to keep the kids, and he would need to travel to see them. I would be selfish if I asked him to leave and come to me. If anyone needs to move, it will need to be me, but I have a lot to work out at home before doing that. Also, I am planning the next time I am in Seoul; I want to ask him to marry me."

"I wasn't thinking of that, so would you move the company there? And wait, marry you?"

"I would, and yes, I don't want to waste any time together with him," Taehyung responded without hesitation.

Six weeks later

Taehyung laid in bed as he stared at Jin, who was moving around the kitchen, seemingly busy preparing breakfast, "what happened to you last night? I thought you were going to call me back?"

"After my shower, I was, but then I fell asleep; I am sorry." Jin pauses what he was doing as he spoke to Taehyung, giving him his undivided attention, "there is something I need to tell you."

"What's up baby, something is bothering you; I can tell."

Jin stared at Taehyung, debating how he should go about telling him the news, "umm, how do you feel about being a father?"

Taehyung picks up his tablet and sits up on the bed as he stares into the camera, "are you pregnant?"

Shaking his head, Jin nods, "yes."

"Babe, are you being serious? This is not a joke, right?" Taehyung asked, smiling brightly; his smile made Jin relax, and he takes a deep breath. "I am serious. I took a test two days ago and got it confirmed yesterday."

Taehyung got up and started walking around his room; he was beyond happy with the news, "Seokjin, will you marry me?" he asked, staring into the camera, surprising Jin.

Jin's eyes widen, "what?"

"I know this is probably an odd way for me to ask-"

"No, it's not that. Are you serious?"

"Of course, I am serious. Will you make me the happiest man and marry me?"

Jin smiled and rubbed his hand in his hair as he stared at Taehyung; seeing the bright smile on Taehyung's face, his smile became even wider, "yes, I will marry you."

"I love you so fucking much, Seokjin. Listen, I have something to do; I will call you back when I am done. Please kiss our babies for me."

*****

Jimin rolled his eyes when he picked up the phone, "Do you see the time?"

"Jin and I; we are getting married."

Jimin threw his covers and sat up in the bed, "I am sorry, I think I am still asleep; I thought you said you and Jin are getting married."

"That's what I said, I asked him to marry me, and he said yes. We are having a baby too."

Rubbing his eyes, Jimin got out of bed, "wait, so Jin is pregnant?"

"Yes, with my baby, and we are getting married. He said yes, he wants to marry me; you should have seen his smile, he looked so happy when he said yes. He told me he was pregnant, and I just blurted out the first thing that came to mind."

"Wow, congratulations, you sound happy. I mean, for you to call me, you have to be happy; you don't call me unless you want me to do something."

"Oh, I called you because I need your help."

********

Jin was having a bad day. He kept trying to contact Taehyung since the day before but got no response, but a mere text letting him know that he would call him soon. That soon hasn't arrived, and no matter how many times Jin calls him, the phone goes straight to voicemail. He was worried, he tried calling Jimin, but there was no response.

Nothing made sense to him; Taehyung wasn't the type to ignore him, especially not after asking him to marry him. Laying down in bed with his daughter, he tries taking his mind off things figuring Taehyung probably was busy.

"Appa!" Aria nudged her father waking him and her sister up.

Jin sat up and looked at Aria, "what's wrong?"

"Someone is ringing the doorbell."

"Who?"

"I don't know you said I shouldn't open the door," Aria told her father, reminding him of the rules. Picking up Dallia in his arms, Jin turns to Aria, "okay, let's go see who it is; it might be your father; he said he has gifts to drop off for you and your sister."

Jin leaves his room with Aria following behind him and Dallia in his arms. When he gets to the front door, he opens it, and his mouth opens in shock, "w-what, are you doing here?"

Aria pushes past Jin and runs to hug Taehyung. Taehyung picks her up in his arm and kisses her forehead.

"You said you are going to marry me, so I figured I should come home to my family." Taehyung lets out with a smile and leans in, kissing Dallia on the cheek, who was staring at him with her bright eyes.
