The next day at work, it was a shock to Taehyung to see that Jimin's gossip was true.
Namjoon had walked into work holding hands with a little boy sucking on a lollipop that looked starkly alike to him, and he immediately led the boy into his office. Jimin squealed and put an arm over his shoulder. "He's so cute!" Jimin giggled.
Taehyung laughed quietly. "Hah...yeah, I guess he's a little cute."
"His name's Jooyeon," Jimin said, cooing. "I want my own pups one day. He's so adorable~ don't you think he looks so alike to Namjoon?"
"But he only has one son?" Taehyung inquired. "Don't people usually give birth to at least a litter of pups?"
"Apparently the son was a mistake, and it was with a female omega! They broke up but...yeah, it's super complicated. You know they aren't as fertile as male omega." Jimin punched Taehyung's side and growled playfully. "I can smell your jealousy Taehyung~ don't you have a boyfriend?"
Taehyung huffed and didn't respond, just laid on the hostess desk miserably. And as guilty as it made him, since he didn't know if he was in love with Jae anymore, he couldn't help but think to himself.
He wanted to be the one carrying Namjoon's pups!

"Jooyeon, sit here and don't move."
Jooyeon frowned. "What if I need to pee?"
Namjoon pointed to another door inside of the office. "Restroom." He pointed at the minifridge. "Food." He pointed to the TV in the side of the room and slammed a remote down onto the desk. "Entertainment. I work till ten o'clock kid, so you gotta be patient."
Jooyeon frowned. "But I want muffin! My mommy always lets me have a muffin before it's my bedtime."
"And when's your bedtime?" Namjoon snorted, to which the pup responded with a confident: "Seven."
The two were interrupted with knocking and Namjoon sighed before opening the door. He blinked in surprise when he saw Taehyung, instantly remembering what had happened the day beforehand, and he found himself asking: "Was the soup good?" He was a little taken-aback that he had asked that so suddenly but now he was content on earning an answer.
Taehyung flushed. "Ah! Yeah, it was yummy!" Taehyung laughed and glanced past Namjoon to see the pup still nomming adorably on his lollipop, and he couldn't help but let the gooey feeling take over his mind. He was still in heat but with the help of menstrual pads, and Seokjin's herbs, he was able to come out for work, which left him to deal with his slick and his sensitive emotions.
Namjoon stepped aside to cover Jooyeon's presence and the cold demeanor was back to his face. "Good. Well, did you need anything?" Namjoon said curtly and Taehyung tensed up. The omega honestly wanted to, somehow, confront Namjoon about the son and drag some more information out of him, but upon seeing the kid so innocent and even a little sad upon being separated from his mother, (from what he heard from Jimin), he couldn't help but grab Namjoon's arm and look sadly up at Namjoon.
"Uhm, I-I was wondering if I, ah, could hold your pup?" Taehyung murmured, mumbling his words a little. Namjoon's eyes widened and to Taehyung's surprise Namjoon reeled back and the alpha pulled away as if he were physically hit. Taehyung flinched back and stared expectantly up at the alpha.
"M-my...-my pup?" Namjoon echoed, pointing to himself. Taehyung frowned but nodded slowly. Namjoon scoffed. "H-he's not my pup!" He barked.
Taehyung pouted. "But the rumors—!"
"There's rumors already?" He interrupted with a groan. "Fuck..."
