Oh Baby Momma

Chapter 50

Taehyung looked at the boy seated in the passenger seat next to him. No, Tae, I am not alright. Not just me. None of the mothers who may have lost their baby will be okay if they encounter such a situation." Jungkook responded to the question that was not asked. Taehyung hummed and held his hand. "He is not immature. He is just acting like an obsessed one." Jungkook said in disappointment. "I will talk." Taehyung said. "Talk? You all should have talked when your mom and dad decided to send him off. He doesn't know how to live in a family. He doesn't know the value and importance of relationships." Jungkook said furiously. Taehyung hummed. "I.. I still can't get off my high. Ahhh." Jungkook said and slapped the dashboard. Taehyung sighed and kissed his hand that he was holding. 

"Come." Taehyung said as he parked the car near a small tea stall. "Spicy corn?" he asked. Jungkook glared at him. "Tornado Potato?" he asked. Jungkook clenched his teeth. "tteokbokki. Finalized." he said and brought two tteokbokki. "Come. Let's go and sit there." he held his hand and sat on the bench.

Taehyung's eyes lingered on Jungkook's face before he looked ahead at the vast road. "Yeonjun was sent aboard because of me." he said. Jungkook took a bite of his food and looked at Taehyung in confusion. "Mom.. Mom became pregnant again when I was ten years old. As the youngest, I was relishing the whole being pampered until then." Taehyung smiled. "Like you know.. How the youngest will receive special treatment at home. I was also getting the same. Even though our parents never expressed any distinction between us. Still there was a sweetness." Jungkook also smiled gently, remembering how his parents had spoiled and treated him like a baby. "And I was completely unprepared for the unexpected news of mom's pregnancy. Since Yoongi Hyung and Seojoon Hyung were old enough to comprehend it, they accepted it with ease, but me? I was totally devastated." Taehyung said, eating his snack. "Haha. Why? Because of your 'the youngest' tagline?" Jungkook chuckled. "That too, but I was more concerned with how my friends would make fun of me." Taehyung said. "Really, Tae?" Jungkook asked. "Mm. I was only ten, Jungkook. What else should I be concerned about at that time?" he asked. Jungkook shook his head with a smile. "I was already heartbroken at the time, wondering what would happen if that baby got more love than I did from my parents and hyungs. Haha. I was so immature." Taehyung laughed along with Jungkook.

"The days passed, but mom gradually started distancing herself from us. She was sick or exhausted all the time. Being elders, Yoongi hyung and Seojoon hyung took up their responsibilities. But me? You know, mom was the one who helped me with my everything, my homework, my food. I.. I was literally a momma boy, Jungkook. I rely heavily on her. I wanted her every time, to eat, to sleep, to bathe, to study, for everything." Taehyung smiled, re-collecting his childhood memories. "Mm. Then, after observing my mom's constant fatigue, dad began to take up her work. But, I.. I began to detest it. I started blaming it on the baby. Because, I.. I wanted mom, at that time." Taehyung said, pulling Jungkook to his body and rubbing his shoulder. "At that time, too, you were a prick?" With a fumble at his shirt button, Jungkook enquired. "Haha. Very much. I knew nothing at all at the time. This pregnancy and baby. These time. I have no idea. And my whole mood will be awful whenever dad says, "Today, I will help you with your homework." Taehyung mocked his dad's voice and Jungkook giggled.

"Then, Yeonjun came to the picture. I saw how Hyungs began to pamper him, but I.. I could not do it. Because every time I saw him, my mother's estrangement from me was the only thing on my mind." Taehyung, chapped his lips. "Oh, Tae. You are so childish." Jungkook said. "I was a child, Jungkook. Do you want me to act like a mature person then?" Taehyung asked. Jungkook shook his head and wrapped his hand around his waist and moved close to him. "Then?" he lifted his boba head and asked. "Then, one day, when mom was sound asleep, I gave in to my jealousy. I.. I took Yeonie from his cradle." Taehyung looked at Jungkook's curious bambi eyes. "Then?" he asked. "Then.. Mm. I considered tossing him into the trash." Taehyung said. "Tae.." Jungkook called him with a concerned gaze. "But, I couldn't when I looked at his sleeping face. He.. He was cute and little. So I took him and kept him hidden in the pantry, in a basket." Taehyung said and lowered his head. Jungkook gasped.
