Only You

-22-

Later that night, Taehyung assumed both of them were heading to their respective rooms to sleep.

However, Jin was feeling restless. He wanted to sleep next to Taehyung, since it was comforting. The times he had slept in Taehyung's embrace, he found the scent soothing.

In his room, Jin couldn't settle down as he paces around the room like a manic. He desperately wanted to sleep while hugging someone, especially Taehyung, who always brought him peace and helped him sleep without a thought in his head.

Unable to ignore his longing, Jin decided to go to Taehyung's room and ask for his company. His desire for Taehyung's presence growing stronger.

He finally mustered the courage to march quietly towards the alpha's room and knocked at the door, " Can I come in?" he called out softly, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

" Yes, you can," Taehyung replied from inside the room. He was not yet asleep, sitting on his bed and reading a book, which he often did to help himself fall asleep. Not that he was interested in the books.

Jin entered the room, his presence somehow rekindling memories of that intimate night. A light blush crept onto his cheeks. Taehyung also blushed when he realized what Jin might be thinking.

" Is everything okay?" Taehyung inquired, his coy smile restrained.

Jin stammered, " Yes, the pup actually wants to sleep here. Is that okay?"

Taehyung smiled knowingly, " Oh, okay. I'll go sleep in another room then. It makes sense why the pup might want you to sleep here."

Jin let out a gasp when he realized what Taehyung was implying," Are you for real? It wants to sleep with you, not the room. You're so insufferable."

He felt somewhat embarrassed that he had come to Taehyung's room with such expectations.

Taehyung chuckled, " Oh, you can come here. Sleep with me, then. That's not a problem at all." He patted the empty space next to him, and Jin hurriedly nestled inside the blanket, feeling a sense of relief wash over him because of Taehyung's proximity.

Both of their faces were flushed with a hint of shyness as they prepared to spend the night together.

" Um, can you cuddle me like the other night? The pup wants that," Jin requested as he settled comfortably in the sheets.

Taehyung couldn't help but notice that Jin was using the pup as an excuse to get what he wanted. It seemed that Jin was hesitant to express his own desires, so he attributed them to his unborn child.

" Sure, whatever the pup wants," Taehyung agreed and let Jin snuggle into his arms. It was apparent that Jin found comfort in having someone to cuddle with during sleep.

"You can come and sleep here whenever you like, Seokjin. I think the pup will like that more."

Jin looked up and met Taehyung's gaze. Their faces were only a few centimeters apart, and he nodded, " I actually think the same, " his voice came out extra soft,

Taehyung smiled, hugging Jin's waist tighter and bringing him even closer.

" What's next, Taehyung?" Jin noticed that he was now very close to Taehyung's body.

" Well, for now, you have a doctor's appointment coming up. Other than that, we'll do things however you want them to be," Taehyung explained. He had thought about how they would handle the pregnancy in the future.

Taehyung spoke reluctantly, " I know, i didn't ask for your permission, but I've collected some evidence against your dad. You're not his only victim, he has consistently abused some of his assistants, harassed small actors and actresses, and managed to get away with it after offering them roles. If you want, we can expose him, and he'll end up in jail once the news breaks out. We can do it anonymously, too."

Jin frowned as all this information was new to him. He now wished he had spoken up sooner about these issues.

" I think you should do it, but anonymously. I don't want you risking your career. Also, will our fake marriage be exposed too?" Jin could sense Taehyung's tension at the mention of their fake marriage.

" Well, no, that's another thing. I've mentioned this before, we can take an official break after the news breaks out and have our pup out of the limelight," Taehyung explained. He had been considering the idea of escaping to his grandmother's place in Jeju for a while. However, he wasn't sure if Jin would agree.

" We can do it after the third trimester starts. We can just move away. Until then, maybe you should think more about what you want to do with my dad. You know the police will want to interview the victims, including me, so you should get everyone's consent before revealing names," Jin suggested.

Taehyung nodded, " I've already obtained everyone's approval. There's nothing to worry about on that front."

" Alright, let me sleep now," Jin snuggled closer to Taehyung, making the alpha shift uncomfortably. It seemed it was going to be a challenging night.

The next morning, while Taehyung set the breakfast table, they heard the doorbell ring. Jin quickly went to answer it and was greeted by a cheerful Jimin and his not-so-cheerful boyfriend beside him.

" Hi," Jimin waved his tiny hands.

Anyone who looked at Jin could tell that he wasn't happy with their arrival. He informed Taehyung, " Taehyung, your guests are here."

Taehyung thought for a moment and said, " I'm not expecting any guests, Seokjin." He cleaned his hands with an apron and stepped outside the kitchen to see what was going on.

Taehyung called out to Jimin and Yoongi and, upon seeing Jin's reaction, realized that he should leave Jin alone for now. He followed Jin to his room and tried to reason, "But breakfast?"

Jin ignored him and shut the door behind him. Taehyung sighed, taking off his apron.

Yoongi decided to tease, saying, " Look, Jin got a nice wife with an apron on," but he earned a smack from Jimin.

Jimin chimed in, "He's here to apologize to Seokjin, and we will clear up the misunderstanding."

Taehyung decided he should first get Jin out for breakfast before Jimin and Yoongi discussed anything with him. He knocked on Jin's bedroom door and stepped inside.

" Can you come join my friends outside and have breakfast? I made it for you. They came unannounced, or else I would've stopped them."

Jimin couldn't hold back any longer, knowing Taehyung might delay him from seeing Jin. He slips in the room followed by Yoongi.

He nudged Yoongi's arm, mouthing something to him.

Yoongi understood and cleared his throat, " I'm sorry, Seokjin. It was me who blocked your number on Jimin's phone, not him. Please forgive me and be friends with Jimin again. Or else, he'll hold this against me for his whole life."

Jimin gazed at Jin with hopeful eyes, waiting for a response. To everyone's surprise, Jin burst into laughter at Yoongi's words. " This so silly," Jin said, unable to contain his amusement, biting his lips to hold back his laughter.
