Even if You're With Him ✔

Chapter 20

With a pang in his chest, Seokjin places the final touch to his outfit.

"I still feel like you should have gone with the white one," his mother says as she fixes the wrinkles on his black silky shirt, "you have an aura that radiates innocence. The white one would make your innocence pop out."

With a tight lip smile, Seokjin turns to look at his mother. "You know what else pops out?" She looks at him with a questioning look. "My stomach, which I assume you know how it got so big. Taehyung made sure to not leave an inch of my body pure or 'innocent'," he explains with pride.

She replies with a scowl. "Don't be so vulgar. I know how you got pregnant. I'm trying so hard to be here for you and you're not letting me. I get that you're mad at me, but I'm putting in the effort. What do you want from me?" She argues.

Seokjin's drops his gaze at her words. "I don't want you to do anything. You're here now, but you were not there for me when I actually needed you. Now I don't care what you do, I don't want you near my child when she's born."

Their argument gets cut short by a knock at the door. "Come in!" Seokjin shouts thanking whoever is putting him out of his misery. He feels lighter when he sees his brother and Yoongi walking in.

"We're leaving in ten minutes," Namjoon says, "is everything okay?" He asks reading the tension in the room.

Mrs. Kim rolls her eyes in return, "yes, your brother is just making me out to be the villain like he's been doing the past several months," she says blankly.

Yoongi's face hardens at her comment. "You can't blame him," he mutters.

"What was that Yoongi?"

He shakes his head and retracts his statement not wanting to cause more stress to Seokjin than he already has. "I said to take things calmly. Seokjin is doing a lot better, but the doctor said that we should still make sure he doesn't go through any emotional stress right now."

Mrs. Kim clenches her jaw and raises an eyebrow at the comment. "Are you saying that I cause my son stress?"

"Yes, I am. At least right now you are." Mrs. Kim starts taking a step towards Yoongi but Namjoon cuts between them.

"That's enough. Today is already hard to go through  we don't need to add anymore to Seokjin's plate," he turns to Yoongi and grabs his hands bringing them to his lips. "We will talk later," he whispers and kisses the others knuckles lightly. Yoongi nods and is about to head out when the next words stop him in his tracks.

"I liked you better when you weren't my son's whore," Mrs. Kim spits out. "You let my son screw you like a slut and now you think you can talk to me as if we're on the same level. The audacity of you." Yoongi refuses to turn back as he balls his fists, takes in a deep breath and let's it go before walking out of the room with a slam of the door.

Through this whole exchange of words no one notices Seokjin start to hold his belly and sit down, as he starts to feel restless.

"You have no right to talk to him like that," Namjoon says glaring at his mother.

"I had asked him to look out for you when you left. I never told him to become your sex toy."

"My toy?!" He asks in disbelief. "I love him! He's done more good for Seokjin and I in almost four years than you or dad have our whole lives. Now go out there and apologize!"

Seokjin suddenly feels a cramp in his lower abdomen and tightens his hold on his stomach and quietly winces in pain. His actions continue to go unnoticed as his mom and brother continue to argue.
