Oh Baby Momma

Chapter 83

Jungkook clutched the small bottle tightly in his hand and, with a quick glance in Taehyung's direction, silently excused himself and made his way to the nearby restroom, his steps deliberate but uncertain.

Meanwhile, Taehyung sat back in his chair, his fingers absently tracing the contours of his chin as he reflected on the significance of the occasion. His gaze shifted from the closed washroom door to his own feet, the silence broken only by the steady rhythm of his breathing. In the stillness of the room, he struggled with the countless emotions that stirred within him and each moment felt like an eternity as he waited for Jungkook's arrival.

With a soft click, Jungkook emerged from the washroom, with the little bottle. He walked over to the lab counter and carefully set down the small bottle containing the sample. "Please wait," the nurse instructed. Jungkook nodded silently, his gaze lingering on the small bottle as it disappeared from view, carried away by the nurse into the depths of the laboratory.

Jungkook turned and walked towards Taehyung and settled beside him. Taehyung immediately took his hand and interlinked his fingers with Jungkook's. "Nervous?" Taehyung inquired softly, his concern evident in the gentle squeeze of his hand. Jungkook wrapped his hand around Taehyung's bicep and leaned into his shoulder, seeking comfort in his embrace. "No particular feeling," he murmured.

"Mm.. Tired?" Taehyung continued, his fingers tracing soothing circles on Jungkook's palm. "No. Hungry," Jungkook replied, playfully biting on Taehyung's shoulder and giggling. "For?" Taehyung quirked an eyebrow, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "For food. Barbecue," Jungkook answered with a smile. "Then I will grill meat for you," Taehyung declared with a grin, his fingers affectionately pinching Jungkook's powdered cheeks. Jungkook couldn't help but giggle along with Taehyung. Their laughter echoed throughout the room, providing a brief break from the weight of expectation that hung in the air.

"Kim Jungkook," the nurse's voice called out, holding up a white strip. Jungkook's heart clenched at the sound of his name, bringing a wave of anxiety over him. "Oh god. "I am not coming," he muttered, releasing his grip on Taehyung's arm as he battled the overwhelming desire to flee. "Mm. Let me go and see," Taehyung said calmly. Taehyung got up from his chair and walked over to the counter where the nurse was standing.

With batted breath, Jungkook's gaze following Taehyung's every move. His gaze lingered on his husband's broad shoulder, who was talking to the nurse. After five minutes, Taehyung returned with a blank expression, and the air in the room seemed to become heavier. "Can we go?" he asked Jungkook. Jungkook shifted his gaze from Taehyung to the counter, then nodded in agreement.

Jungkook rose to his feet and reached out to wrap his hand around Taehyung's biceps as they walked outside in silence. A sad smile tugged at the corner of Jungkook's lips as they stepped into the cool embrace of the evening air. "Do you want to eat or go to the room?" Taehyung asked, breaking the silence that hung between them. "Eat," Jungkook replied with a pout, hoping that the simple act of sharing a meal would provide a perfect distraction from the turmoil of emotions that churned inside him.

Taehyung called a cab, and they both walked out of the clinic. And as they stood together on the roadside, waiting for a cab, Taehyung couldn't help but steal glances at Jungkook's side profile. His lips pursed into a pout at the sight of Jungkook's small pout, a silent reflection of Jungkook's disappointment on himself.

"You okay?" Taehyung asked gently, intertwining their fingers in a gesture of comfort. "Yeah. It's just another day, Tae," Jungkook replied softly, swaying their interlinked hands back and forth in a soothing rhythm. "You sound disappointed," Taehyung said with concern. "Mm. Maybe a little. It would be a lie if I said no," Jungkook admitted, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. Taehyung's heart sank at Jungkook's honesty.
