══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

"What was that Kim?!" A man shouted as he burst into the locker room. Everyone's eyes went to alpha who was seated on a bench and wrapping a bandage over his hand.

"What was what?" The guy asked nonchalantly, "You beat up the other team's goalie with a hockey stick. Do you know what will happen if he decides to sue you?" The man said, "If he didn't taunt me maybe he would have been okay." The young alpha said, glanced up at his coach.

The man sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, "You're dismissed for the day."

This was Kim Seokjin, a player on Korea's national hockey team. He was known for his defence skills and how skated around the rink but also for his good looks. He had a whole fanbase dedicated to him and that added to his popularity.

There were rumours that the hockey player went out with hot famous supermodels, regardless of their subgender but they weren't true, not even the slightest. He loved his personal space and especially since he had a busy schedule, he didn't have time to focus on a relationship.

Yeah, he had some omegas over when he'd go into a rut but other than that, it's him, himself and his fancy apartment.

He had a little brother, Kim Namjoon, a.k.a RM. His little brother was mated to another famous rapper known as AgustD also known as Yoongi who was surprisingly an omega. They had made their relationship public but kept their pup's identity a secret, even though there were pictures on the internet circulation of the little family going out and how the pup possibly looked.

"So why did you beat up the goalie exactly?" Seokjin was currently at his brother's house. "He kept taunting me and he wouldn't shut up so I did the best logical thing," Seokjin said as cut the meat on the plate. "And that was to beat the goalie?" Yoongi walked into the dining room with his pup in hand.
Seokjin nodded, taking a bite of his food.

"Hyung you have to work on your anger issues. I understand that you're an alpha and so am I but you shouldn't let your anger get to you." Namjoon said, taking the pup out of Yoongi's hands.

"I'm trying, it's just that I'm stressed out about reaching the Stanley Cup finals." The older alpha said, letting out a small sigh.  The two alphas' scents began to fill up the room, Yoongi glanced at his mate who just shook his head. "I'll take Jungkook outside to eat," Yoongi said, taking the pup back into his arms. "Papa?" The pup- Jungkook- said, tilting his head at his dad. Namjoon flashed a quick smile at his son before watching his mate walk out of the dining room.

"You need to relax." Namjoon began, glancing over at his older brother who just stared down at his half-finished plate. "I've tried Joon, I've tried."

Namjoon looked at the older alpha pitifully, "How about you take a break from hockey for a few days." Seokjin glanced over at his brother, "And what am I going to do?"

"Relax. Watch TV, cook, sleep, do whatever you have to do to calm down your alpha," the younger alpha said, poking his chest. Seokjin sighed once again, closing his eyes.

"Papa!" The two alphas' gazes went to Jungkook who was crawling back into the dining room, huffing as he crawled. Namjoon got up from his seat and picked the pup off the ground. "He wants you to feed him," Yoongi said, poking the pup's tummy. "Don't worry, I'll feed him. Go relax okay, baby?" Namjoon said, leaning down to the omega's height. "Okay."  Yoongi pecked Namjoon's cheek before walking away.

Seokjin sighed as he watched the couple

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Seokjin pats his damp hair with a towel as walked into the living room of his lavish apartment.

It was currently midnight and it was snowing heavily outside. "Fuck." He groaned as he took a seat on his couch.

His apartment was on top of a hill which had a beautiful view of Seoul, the very same reason he chose the apartment.

Seokjin stared at the ceiling as his mind drifted into thought.

He was a 29-year-old, male, alpha and single. He knew if his mother got to know that he was still single, she'd give him a whole speech about how he should find a mate while he was still young and all that but he didn't feel any connection with any person he went out with... besides for that one time when he was younger.

There was a boy he used to hang out with, his name was Jung Hoseok, yeah that's it. The boy was two years younger than him but they bonded over everything. Hoseok used to make Seokjin give him piggyback rides when he was tired and Seokjin never complained. They'd have sleepovers and sit up because Hoseok would tell him stories, some were good and the rest were ridiculous.

The younger boy was always cheery and always had a smile on his face. He the literally the sun on a cloudy day.

As they grew up Seokjin realised that he had a crush on the younger. He was ecstatic when Hoseok presented as an omega and he as an alpha. He loved and hated it all at the same time, Hoseok was an omega and it meant he was an option and Hoseok was an omega and it meant that other alphas would want Hoseok, at the time Seokjin wasn't as good-looking in high school.

One day Hoseok came to his house and told him that he was to move to the city all of a sudden. Seokjin couldn't have been more hurt but he couldn't do anything about it.
He saw Hoseok off at the airport, he hugged the younger one last time before he never saw him again.

When he got into college he got a huge glow-up, he was one of the most handsome boys on campus and-

Seokjin perked up at the soft knocks coming from his apartment door. "Who could it be at this time?" He mumbled, getting up from his couch. He slid his hands into the pockets of his sweatpants.

He walked to his door, opened the door and was in shock at who he saw standing outside.

Hoseok

There stood his childhood best friend, shivering, a small dog carrier in hand. The omega was covered in snow from head to toe and his eyes and cheeks were puffy. He hadn't seen or heard about Hoseok since high school.

Seokjin shook his head as his brain cells kicked in, "C-come inside." He stepped to the side, letting the omega step inside. "I'm s-sorry f-for sh-show up out-out of th-the blue, h-hyung-..." Hoseok said, holding his tummy. Seokjin looked down and there was a visible baby bump.

Seokjin looked back up at Hoseok, he had tears brimming in his eyes. All of the curiosity that the alpha disappeared and pulled the omega into a hug. It felt right, like old times. "Seokjin-hyung, pl-please h-help me." Hoseok croaked out, gripping onto Seokjin's tank top.

"Ssh, don't worry I am here...Hyung is here." He said softly as he ran his fingers through the omega's brown locks.

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Seokjin handed Hoseok a cup of hot chocolate and he made sure to add marshmallows, just like old times.

Seokjin had made Hoseok take a shower and had given him some clothes to change into. Hoseok's scent was all over the apartment, it smelt like strawberries and chocolate chip cookies. Seokjin had to open the window to let some fresh air in because if he inhaled any more of the omega's scent, he would do something bad.

"So how has life been?" Seokjin asked, pulling out a chair and putting it in front of the couch where the young omega sat. "I-it's been okay. How about you, hyung?" Hoseok asked, taking a sip of the hot chocolate in his hands. "It's been good," Seokjin replied, shrugging his shoulders.

Seokjin scanned Hoseok's face...he hadn't changed a bit, he was still as beautiful as ever.

"S-so are you mated yet?"

Bingo! Seokjin knew that Hoseok was going to ask that question, omegas tend to be very territorial and Hoseok probably didn't want to be in between Seokjin and his mate. "No, still very much single."

Hoseok looked relieved at the older's words. He put his half-filled mug of hot chocolate on the coffee table between him and Seokjin.

They sat in silence, stealing glances from each other. Seokjin's curiosity was growing more and more as he kept wondering what happened to Hoseok, this wasn't the Hoseok he knew.

"What happened Hoseok-ah?" Seokjin asked, staring into Hoseok's eyes. Hoseok's hands went to his belly bump, "He...he ch-cheated on me with h-his s-secretary  and a-attempted to b-beat me-..." Hoseok paused, his eyes brimming with tears.

Seokjin reached over and held Hoseok's hands, "Hey, hey I'm sorry for asking. Just relax, you're safe with me. Let's get you to bed, you're stressed out and it's not good for your pup." He said, caressing the omega's smaller hand. Seokjin let his coconut and leather scent flow through the room, he was trying to calm the omega down.
Hoseok nodded his head as he bit his lip, to stop him from crying. "O-okay hyung."

They made their way to Seokjin's bedroom, Hoseok took his bed while Seokjin took the small rocking chair he kept in his room.
Seokjin made sure that Hoseok fell asleep first, the omega looked tired and was still shivering even after he changed.

Seokjin grabbed an extra blanket from his cupboard and covered the omega. He felt his alpha beam with pride as he saw the omega sound asleep in his bed.

He quickly made his way outside the bedroom, leaving the door slightly open, in case Hoseok woke up. His eyes immediately went to the small dog carrier by the door. He went to it and picked the carrier up before walking into the kitchen and placing it on top of the counter.

Seokjin fiddled with the lock, hitting it lightly with a bone crusher before it broke. Seokjin opened the cage, to see a puppy fast asleep inside. It was a Shin Tzu puppy. He softly and slowly took the puppy out of the carrier.

He carried the dog over to the little dog bed he had in the corner of his room. It used to be for Namjoon's deceased dog Moni. He placed the sleeping pup into the bed, even placing a small soft squeaky toy next to the dog.

Seokjin began to clean up his apartment. He tossed his dirty clothes in the washing machine, along with the Hoseok's. He swept the floor, vacuumed the carpet, wiped the counter tops and reorganized his fridge and cupboards.
He finished doing everything around 2:30 am.

Seokjin let out a satisfied sigh as he plopped down onto the couch. He yawned softly before he felt himself fall asleep.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Seokjin woke up to the sound of whining but these weren't just any whines, there were omega whines. Most omegas whine when they are distressed or feel scared.

He groaned as he stood up from the couch. He stretched a little bit before he followed the whining, it led him to his bedroom. Seokjin's eyebrows knitted in confusion before the shoot wide open when all the memories of last night and early came flooding into his brain.

He slowly stuck his head in his room, Hoseok was seated in the middle of his bed, the blanket wrapped around him tightly. The omega was crying into the blankets as he looked around the room.
It hurt Seokjin's heart seeing the younger like that. Hoseok was always cheerful and happy, it was very rare to see him sad or in the current state his in.

Seokjin quietly stepped inside the room, to not startle the omega. "Hey Hoseok," Seokjin said softly. "Oh- I-I'm s-sorry f-for waking you up with-with my cr-crying." Hoseok croaked out. "It's okay, it's normal to cry." Seokjin sat down in front of him, "I-I'm s-sorry f-for sh-show up out-out of th-the blue h-hyung. I-I d-didn't want to-to meet you like this a-and-..." Hoseok sobbed into his hands.

Seokjin sighed as pulled the younger into his arms, "Don't be sorry, you're always welcome here and I will always be here, even if it is after 10 years." He said, rubbing Hoseok's back.
They sat in silence, Hoseok in Seokjin's embrace, holding the older tight.

"H-hyung?" Hoseok spoke up looking up at Seokjin.
Seokjin hummed softly, looking down at Hoseok, "Remember when I moved to another city?" Hoseok began, "Yeah?"

"I didn't want to leave, I missed you so much but when I wanted to come back to Seoul, my dad got sick and my mother had to sell the house we were staying in," Hoseok said as made himself comfortable in older's arms.

"Well you're here with me and everything will be okay." Seokjin said, smiling at Hoseok, "How about my pup's father?" The omega asked. "Don't worry about him, if comes near you, I'll introduce him to my hockey stick," said the older, earning a small giggle from the younger.

"Jin-hyung?" Hoseok spoke up again, "Yeah?" Seokjin said. "I'm hungry." The omega pouted as he put a hand on his belly.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"How many months are you? You don't have to answer that if you don't want to." Seokjin said as leaned against the wall, "I'm 6-7 months pregnant. Can I add more?" Hoseok asked, pointing to his cup filled with ice cream. "Help yourself," Seokjin said, pointing at the vanilla ice cream tub.

Hoseok smiled as he added a few more scoops of ice cream into his cup. Hoseok was seated on the counter criss-crossed.

"So why aren't you mated yet, Hyung? Like you can get any omega you want." Hoseok took a spoonful of ice cream. Seokjin shrugged his shoulders, "Just can't find the right person. Most of the omegas I go with are more interested in getting to know my bank balance than me." Hoseok pouted, "I hope you'll find someone who will love you for you."

This is why he had a crush on Hoseok, the younger was so selfless. The omega was getting off the counter, and Seokjin was quick to help him down. "Thank you, Jin-hyung."

"You're welcome."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"I don't like there. Move it to the left." Yoongi instructed. Namjoon and Seokjin sighed as they picked up the baby crib and moved it to the left side of the room.

"Better?" The two alphas asked, "Jungkookie do you like it?" Yoongi asked as held the baby up, kissing his cheek. The pup squealed, clapping his hands, "You've got your answer." Yoongi said Namjoon and Seokjin sighed as they fell to the floor.

Yoongi walked out of the room with Jungkook who drooled on the plushie in his hands.

"You smell like an omega," Namjoon spoke up glancing over at his brother. "I don't, your nose is broken," Seokjin mumbled as he got up from the floor. "My nose is perfectly fine, it's just you," Namjoon said, getting up from the floor.

"Did you have sex?" Namjoon asked, "No! Why would you-..."Seokjin held the bridge of his nose, "I had a friend come over."

"A friend?" Namjoon scoffed, "Hyung, the only friends you have are me and Baekhyun, and we're both alphas. Just be honest," Namjoon said as he picked up the toys on the floor. "You don't know all my friends." Seokjin huffed.
"Whatever you say, Hyung." The younger alpha shrugged his shoulders.

Seokjin walked out of the room, he made his way to the living room where Yoongi was. "Hey, Yoon." He began, getting the omega's attention. Yoongi hummed, turning around, "You know a lot about pregnant omegas because you've gone through it yourself. How do omegas act during their 6-7th month of pregnancy?" Seokjin asked, getting a ‘What the Fuck look’ from Yoongi.

"They are clingy and snappy!" Namjoon shouted from the room he was in. "Shut up," Yoongi retorted.

"Anyway... Namjoon is somehow correct. Our emotions are stronger than usual, cravings are wild, lactating, nesting, sensitive to unfamiliar scents, snappy, clingy and horny." Seokjin coughed at the last part.

"Horny?" He raised an eyebrow, "Did I stutter? Yes, it's similar to when we have pre-heats...Why are you asking all this in the first place?" Yoongi crossed his arms. "One of the guys on my team has a pregnant omega staying over at his place and he doesn't know what to do," Seokjin said, scratching the back of his neck.

Yoongi almost rolled his eyes at the older. Namjoon and Seokjin were like two peas in a pod, couldn't lie for shit, and he could add his pup into the mix too.

Seokjin saw Namjoon pop his head into the room, the younger's mouth was wide open in shock.

"Seokjin hyung, just make the omega feel welcome, safe and happy and you're all right, but be careful when they're nesting, you could end up with a few scratches," Yoongi said, his eyes going to his alpha who slowly went back into the room he was in.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Seokjin found Hoseok in the backyard playing with the shin tzu puppy.

"You're back," Hoseok said as he put the puppy down. Seokjin nodded his head as he made his way to the omega's side, "What's its name?" Seokjin asked, taking a seat next to the omega. "His name is Mickey." The older chortled at the name.

"What?" Hoseok's face turned red out of embarrassment. "You named your dog after the cartoon?" Seokjin said as glanced over at the puppy who was chasing a moth. "Yeah. It just suited him." Hoseok said, crossing his arms.

"So do you have any name suggestions for your pup?" Seokjin asked. "I was thinking about Minseok?" Hoseok said as he caressed his belly. "You having a girl?"

Hoseok nodded his head, "I was thinking about painting her-..." Hoseok paused, and the once happy smile on his face disappeared. Seokjin was quick to realise what Hoseok was about to say. "I have a spare room, we could design it to your liking?" Seokjin suggested. Hoseok looked at him with tears brimming in his eyes, "You're serious?"

"Yeah, I have time to help you pick out what you want and decorate the room, I don't have any matches until next month," Seokjin said. Hoseok lunged at him, hugging him tightly, "Y-you are t-too kind Hyung." Hoseok sobbed into the older's chest. Seokjin chuckled lightly as hugged the younger back.

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

It's been a week since Hoseok had shown up at Seokjin's door, and it's been okay. Hoseok was still trying to settle down. The omega would walk around the place, lightly scenting any object he could, and Seokjin wasn't complaining.

But Seokjin couldn't help but realise Hoseok hadn't stepped outside his apartment. Today Hoseok and Seokjin were supposed to return to the younger's apartment and get his things but Hoseok seemed distressed.

"What's wrong, Hoseok?" Seokjin asked squatting down in front of the distressed omega. "I-I d-don't w-want to g-go." Hoseok cried, "Hoseok we need to get your stuff once we get them, will be out." Seokjin said as he rubbed the omega's knee. The young omega shook his head, "I-I'm scared."

"I won't let him get near you okay? You're safe with me." Seokjin said, Hoseok sniffled as put a hand on his belly, "Scent me," he blurted out.

Seokjin just blinked, his brain was short-circuiting. He had never scented someone in his whole 29 years of living. He just avoided being scented or scenting, so here is Hoseok, his childhood friend, and ex-crush, in front of him if he could scent him.

"Come here," Seokjin said, Hoseok shuffled closer to the edge of the couch. The alpha wrapped his arms around the omega, being extremely careful about the baby bump in between them.

He nuzzled his head in the crook of his neck, he caught a small whiff of Hoseok's scent. He dragged his nose up the omega's neck as he traced his fingertips over his skin. He felt like he could do this for hours. Seokjin felt his mouth water as he stared at Hoseok's collarbone, he snapped himself out of it, he knew that it wasn't him, it was just his alpha thinking. He slowly lifted his head, and Hoseok looked much more relaxed.

"Is that okay?" He asked, Hoseok nodded, "It's okay."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Seokjin and Hoseok were outside Hoseok's house.

Hoseok held Seokjin's hand as they entered the house, Hoseok let out a quiet whimper when he saw his place trashed. There was no one here, the place was void of any scents

"Go and get your things while I wait by the door," Seokjin said as he let go of the omega's hand.

Hoseok looked up at him with sad eyes, "You won't leave?"

"I won't leave I'll be right here." Said the alpha, "You promise?" Hoseok asked, "I promise," he said putting a hand on his chest.
Seokjin watched as Hoseok waddled deeper into the house, he couldn't help but coo at the omega.

Hoseok pouted as he entered his room, his nest had been ruined. He slowly made his way to the cupboard, the omega pulled out a large suitcase before beginning to pack all his belongings and clothes.

He double-checked the room making sure that everything that he owned was in his suitcase. He dusted his(Seokjin's) sweatpants and made his way out of the room, dragging his suitcase behind him, letting out little 'oofs'.

"Jin-hyung," the omega called out, Seokjin approached the omega taking the suitcase from his hands. "Are you all packed?" He asked, Hoseok looked around the room that he was in he spotted the body pillow in the corner of the room. He waddled over to the pillow, "Now I'm all packed." He said as he picked up the body pillow.

The two left the apartment, and Seokjin made sure to just scent the place, incase Hoseok's partner came over and smelt the omega's scent (it would let the other alpha know that he couldn't get to Hoseok).

Seokjin helped Hoseok into his car, pushing the seat back so the younger would have enough space to move his legs. They drove back to Seokjin's apartment, making a stop by a small café.

Seokjin told Hoseok to find a table for them while he went to go and order them something to eat. "What do you want to eat?" Seokjin asked, "Anything." Hoseok said, clasping his hands together. "Anything? Be specific, Hoba," Seokjin said, putting a hand on the small of Hoseok's back as he led the omega to a table by the window. "I don't know what to eat. Everything seems so good." The younger said.

"I'll get you anything. Sit here, I'm coming back." He said.

Seokjin fixed the cap he had on as he approached the till.

"Good morning and welcome to Sunny's café, how may I help you?" The lady at the counter asked, a huge smile on her face and guessing by the lady's non-existent scent, she was a beta.
"May I please have one cappuccino and a chicken sandwich?" He said, pointing to the fridge behind the lady. "Okay, that will be 200 won." The alpha opened his wallet pulled out 300 won and handed it to the lady, "You can keep the change."

He went back to where Hoseok was after getting his receipt, the omega seemed occupied with his tummy, making a quiet 'oh' sound.

"Jin-hyung?" Hoseok whispered Seokjin hummed. "She's kicking- oh!" Hoseok said as he rubbed his clothed tummy. "Can I feel?" Seokjin asked Hoseok nodded his head, and the older made his way around the table and squatted down in front of Hoseok.
Hoseok took Seokjin's hand and placed it on his tummy, immediately Seokjin felt Hoseok's pup kick. "That was big, one." He said, Hoseok nodded his head, grinning.

"Kick again if you can hear me?" Seokjin said, putting his head on Hoseok's tummy.

kick! kick!

Seokjin grinned at that, "She can hear me." He said that with child-like excitement. Is what Namjoon and his teammates bragged about?
"I'm Seokjin, your mother's fri-..." A kick cut off Seokjin, he could feel it, "Ouch!" Hoseok put a hand on his belly bump. "I felt that one," Seokjin said as he looked up at Hoseok.

"Aggressive much." The omega mumbled as he rubbed his belly.

- -

"Jin, remember when we were little and when we used to pester Mr. Kang," Hoseok said as he watched the alpha open his cupboard. "Oh I remember, and we used to take the roses from his yard and use them to decorate your bedroom all because you wanted a flower bed," Seokjin said as he put Hoseok's now empty suitcase inside.

Hoseok rolled his eyes, "I was little plus the movie made it look comfortable." He said as he folded the clothes on the bed.  Seokjin scoffed, "The amount of scratches I got trying to get roses for you."

Seokjin sat down in front of Hoseok who grinned at him, "Thank you, Jinnie." He said. Seokjin scoffed once more, "And this is exactly what you did." The older man lay on his back on the bed. "Give me your hand," Hoseok said, Seokjin did that, and he watched as Hoseok slowly placed his hand on his stomach.

kick, kick

"She's awake," Seokjin muttered, Hoseok nodded. The two boys sat there feeling Minseok's little kicks. "I bet she's going to be like you." Seokjin said, glancing at omega. "What do you mean?" Hoseok asked, "She's going to be as pretty as you, kind and sweet." Hoseok blushed, "Shut up Jwan." Hoseok said, nudging the older.

"Okay Jwae-hope." Seokjin said, grinning at Hoseok's cringed face, "It's J-hope, hyung. J-hope." Hoseok said. Seokjin just laughed, "Even Minseok agrees with me."

Hoseok scoffed when he felt his pup kick him, "Traitor."

The two boys quickly wrapped up what they were doing and went to the kitchen to start making dinner. It was chaotic, Seokjin was trying to persuade Hoseok to stand on the counter because he might hurt himself but Hoseok being stubborn said, "You keep all the pasta on the top shelf and How do you think I'm going to get them." Hoseok said as he let Seokjin help off the counter.

Seokjin shook his head as he took the pasta packet out of the omega's hands.

They made Mac 'n Cheese for dinner, Seokjin said he couldn't eat it because he was on a diet but the younger wasn't having it.

"Open your mouth," Hoseok said as held a spoon to Seokjin's mouth. "I'll get in trouble with my dietitian Hoseok," Seokjin said as he leaned back. "I don't care, you need to eat. Now open your mouth Jin." Hoseok said as he stepped closer to the alpha. "My dietitian will give me a stricter diet."

"And I rip your dietitian's head off, Now open up before I forcefully feed you," Hoseok said as if he were scolding a child. The alpha sighed as he reluctantly opened his mouth, "Good boy...Now swallow." The omega said, putting the spoon down.

Seokjin chewed on the mac and Cheese before swallowing it. "Even second graders are better than you," Hoseok said as he took another spoon. "You work as a teacher?" Seokjin asked, "Mmh. I had a few weeks off because I was nauseous but I'll be going back." Hoseok said as held another spoon up to Seokjin's mouth. "So when are you going back to work?" Seokjin asked, trying to hide the tinge of sadness in his voice.

Seokjin knew that his alpha was the one thinking but he kinda got attached to Hoseok. But it's not like the omega was going away forever. Plus he was still worried about Hoseok's ex-mate...wait was Hoseok still mated?

"Next week," Hoseok said, Seokjin hummed softly as he chewed. Hoseok almost cooed at the alpha who looked upset, "Don't worry, I'll be okay." Hoseok said, nudging the older. "You sure?" Seokjin asked. "I'm sure, I have you and I know I'll be safe." Hoseok smiled.

Seokjin's heart skipped a beat.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"Hyung?" Seokjin turned around, standing by the door of his bedroom.

"Yeah?" He responded, sliding his hands into his sweatpants pockets. "I feel bad seeing you sleeping on the couch every night while I sleep on your bed- you can sleep next to me," Hoseok said, his voice sounding shaky.

"It's okay, the couch is as comfortable."

"I insist."

The alpha glanced at the corridor which led to the living room, "Okay." He closed the bedroom door behind him before joining the omega.
Hoseok giggled at how Seokjin lay on the bed stiffly like a log.

"Stop being so stiff," Hoseok said as he took Seokjin's arm and put it around himself. Seokjin stared at Hoseok, "I don't want to hurt the pup."
"You're not going to hurt her, Hyung," Hoseok said, softly. The omega shifted closer to the alpha, "Relax." Hoseok mumbled, resting his head on Seokjin's chest.

Seokjin had never been this close to anyone. He could smell Hoseok's scent which slowly lulled him to sleep. It was relaxing and it made him feel better.
Seokjin closed his eyes, pulling the omega closer.

He could get used to this.

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Hoseok's eyes fluttered open, he glanced down at the sleeping alpha who was holding Hoseok tightly and his head rested on Hoseok's chest.

Hoseok smiled as he pushed Seokjin's hair back. "You comfortable?" Hoseok whispered, the older nuzzled his head deeper into Hoseok's chest, "I'll take that as a yes."
The omega patted the alpha's back. Hoseok felt safe.

kick, kick

Hoseok smiled when he felt Minseok's kicks, he wasn't the only one who felt her kicks. Seokjin groaned as he opened his eyes, "You're awake." Hoseok said. The older looked up at Hoseok, and the omega cooed at him, "No... sleep." Seokjin slurred, putting his head back onto Hoseok's chest.

kick, kick

"She's awake and she's not going back to sleep," Hoseok said, apologetically. Seokjin sighed into the omega's chest.

...

Hoseok was walking around the house with a sleepy alpha following him around. Seokjin wasn't budging every time Hoseok would ask him to sit down for a bit so he could do something.
It was endearing and cute, Hoseok noticed how Seokjin would put his hand on his tummy, and try to feel Minseok's little kicks.

Hoseok heard someone knock on the door of the apartment building. "Hyung?" Hoseok tapped Seokjin's hand which was on Hoseok's tummy. "Hmm?"  The older hummed, "I think there's someone at the door." Hoseok said. Seokjin tiredly opened his eyes, "I'm coming back." Hoseok nodded.

Seokjin made his way to the door, he opened the door, and he was met with Yoongi and Namjoon with Jungkook fast asleep in a portable baby carrier. "We thought you died." Namjoon began, Yoongi hit the back of his mate's head. "You didn't come over for a while and you haven't contacted us in like a week and your mother is going to give me an aneurysm," Yoongi said. "I was busy," Seokjin said, nonchalantly.

"Okay Mr. I'm-so-busy, are you going to let us in or...?" Yoongi asked. Seokjin let out a sigh before stepping to the side. The couple took their shoes off by the door and took the sleeping pup out the the carrier. "So where is that omega that you mentioned last time?" Yoongi asked bluntly.

As if on queue Hoseok walked back into the living room. "Oh- Hi there." The omega said, flashing a smile at Yoongi. "Hey." Yoongi greeted back, smiling back.

"So how do you know Jin-hyung?" Yoongi asked as he cradled a sleeping Jungkook in his arms. "We were childhood friends but I moved away from Gwangju," Hoseok explained as scratched the back of Mickey's head.

"How old are you? You look pretty young." Hoseok asked, tilting his head. Yoongi chuckled a little, "I'm 28, I get asked that a lot." Hoseok lightly chuckled. "So is it ok with you if I call you hyung?" The brunette omega asked. "Sure." Yoongi approved, smiling at the younger.

Hoseok glanced down at the pup in Yoongi's arms, the pup looked so cute and small, he wanted to hold the baby but he was scared to ask, "I wonder what my pup is going to look like?" Hoseok thought out loud. "I used to wonder that every day...do you want to hold him?" Yoongi suggested, holding up the sleeping pup.

"A-are you sure?" Hoseok stuttered out, "Of course I am, plus it's best to learn how to hold a baby now than later." Hoseok nodded his head.

Yoongi slowly slipped Jungkook into the pregnant omega's arms. Hoseok shakily held the boy, "Calm down," Yoongi reassured patting the back of Hoseok's back. Hoseok let out a small breath, the omega cooed at the pup who scrunched his nose. "He's so cute," Hoseok muttered, he poked the baby's cheek. Yoongi hummed, smiling softly

Yoongi and Namjoon stayed at Seokjin's house the whole day. Hoseok got to play with Jungkook who was so curious about his pregnancy bump.

"Baba?" Jungkook pointed at Hoseok's tummy. "Yes, it's a baby Kookie," Namjoon said, Jungkook put his ear against Hoseok's belly before babbling incoherent words to the baby.

Hoseok felt his eyes water at the sight, it was cute. "Oh my gosh, moody swings," Hoseok said as he wiped his eyes with his hands. "You okay?" Seokjin asked as he put a hand on the omega's shoulder. "I'm okay it's so cute how Jungkook is talking to Minseok," Hoseok said. Seokjin smiled, ruffling the omega's hair.

Namjoon and Yoongi stared at the older in disbelief.

Hoseok and Seokjin escorted the couple outside, Hoseok was forced to stay inside because it starting to snow and Seokjin didn't want him to get a cold. Hoseok just chuckled, Yoongi said he was going to talk to Hoseok while Namjoon put Jungkook inside the car.

Currently, Namjoon was speaking to Seokjin, "You're different around Hoseok, you seem so much kinder, hyung." Namjoon snickered. "I was always kind, just that I'm not kind to you," Seokjin said, poking his little brother's chest. Namjoon just laughed.

"Jinnie, no, no." The two alphas laughed at Jungkook who spoke up. "He's growing up quickly," Seokjin commented.

"Yeah, soon he'll be two," Namjoon said, pushing Jungkook's head back onto his shoulder.

The two brothers stood there in silence.

"Did you see mom's message?" Namjoon spoke up.

Seokjin rubbed his face, "Yeah. I don't think I'll go." He said, putting his hands into his pockets. "Why?"
"I just don't want her drama, I'm trying to do what you told me down and now since I have Hoseok staying with me, I don't need stress or anger," Seokjin explained, as he kicked the snow-covered rock around.

"You care about Hoseok, don't you hyung?" Namjoon covered Jungkook's face with the hood of his jersey.

"I do,"

Namjoon put a sleeping Jungkook into the car. Yoongi finally joined them, followed by Hoseok who just grinned at Seokjin.

"See you soon, bye!" Yoongi said as he looked out the window. "Bye Yoongi hyung!" Hoseok waved back.
Seokjin and Hoseok watched as the small family drove away into the night.

"Jin-hyung?"

"Yeah Hobi?"

"Would you like to come with me to my next doctor's appointment?" Hoseok asked, fiddling with his fingers. "I would love to," Seokjin said as put an arm around Hoseok's shoulders.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Hoseok stood in front of the mirror, his t-shirt rolled up and his hands on each side of his pregnant tummy.

"I think it grew," Hoseok said to himself. Seokjin popped his head from the laundry room, "Did you say something?" He asked. Hoseok turned around, "Do you think I grew?"

"I don't think so," Seokjin said as walked over to the omega. Hoseok pulled out his phone, "Lemme check." He mumbled. Seokjin watched as the the omega scrolled through his gallery, he never saw any pictures of Hoseok and his mate, odd?

Hoseok clicked on a picture of his belly bump from his perspective.

"Okay... Jin-hyung come here." Hoseok said, motioning for the alpha to stand in front of him. The older did just that. "Bring your head down," Hoseok said, Seokjin lowered his head, the omega pressed his forehead against the older's. "Let's compare the two," Hoseok said as held the phone next to his tummy.

Seokjin fisted his hands, his face turning red, he felt flustered standing like this. "I-it looks like it grew a little." He said, his voice a whisper. "Yeah," Hoseok whispered back.

The two guys stood in the middle of the living room, staring down at Hoseok's pregnant belly. Hoseok had switched his phone and tossed it onto the couch.

Seokjin wanted to touch the omega's baby bump but he was hesitant and didn't want to make Hoseok uncomfortable, Hoseok noticed this.

"You can if you want to," Hoseok said, softly. "Ar-are you sure?" The younger had to keep himself from laughing, seeing an alpha act like this over his pregnant tummy was endearing. "Yeah Hyung," Hoseok reached out for the older's hands and placed them on each side of his tummy.

Gosh Hoseok could burst out laughing just because of how stiff and alert the older was acting.

"Calm down Hyung, you're not going to hurt Minseok." Seokjin's face seemingly got redder than it already was.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Today was Hoseok's monthly appointment and he was anxious. Seokjin had to open the doors and windows of his apartment cause of how Hoseok's scent kept filling up the room.

"Hobi," Seokjin said as he put his hands on Hoseok's shoulders. "Mmh?" The omega turned his head around. "I can smell your scent from the front desk. What's wrong?" The older asked, softly massaging the omega's tensed shoulders. Hoseok sighed, "I'm nervous."

"Everything is going okay. Just relax." Seokjin said, lightly scenting Hoseok. The omega leaned into Seokjin's touch, closing his eyes.

"I'm getting sleepy, Hyung." Hoseok flashed a lopsided smile. "Should I stop?" Seokjin asked his hands still on Hoseok's sides. "No, I'm just telling you." Hoseok put his hands over Seokjin's.

Seokjin smiled a little.

A few minutes had passed and it was time for Hoseok's appointment.

The doctor had noticed Hoseok wasn't alone, "Are you the father?" Seokjin got flustered, "No- not really." Hoseok laughed at Alpha who kept mixing up his words.

The check-up was very quick, the doctor checked the omega's blood pressure, asked a few questions and did the sonogram. Seokjin saw the pup, she was curled up into a ball. "She looks comfortable." Seokjin mumbled, Hoseok nodded, "She's probably sleeping." The omega said, looking at the screen.

Hoseok reached out for Seokjin's hand, "Thank you for coming with me, hyung." Hoseok said, the alpha smiled as squeezed Hoseok's hand, "No problem."

- -

"This is cute," Hoseok said as held a small baby onesie, it was green with small clouds.

Seokjin looked over Hoseok's shoulder, "You like it?" Seokjin asked. "Of course I do." Hoseok said as he turned the onesie around, he checked the price tag..."Yikes, when did baby clothes get so expensive?" The omega pouted as he reluctantly put the onesie back.

Seokjin quickly took the onesie into his hands, "I'll buy it for you." Hoseok shook his head, "You don't have to Hyung." Hoseok said as he reached to take the article of clothing from the alpha's hands but Seokjin's arm shot up.

"I'll buy it for you and that's final."

Hoseok squinted his eyes, "I said put it down, we're going to leave it." He tried to reach out for onesie but Seokjin stretched his arm, making it harder to reach. "No." Seokjin put a hand on Hoseok's head and pushed him down.

The omega rolled his eyes before stepping on Seokjin's foot, nudging his tummy with his knee before pinning the older's arm behind his back. "What the fuck?" Seokjin was genuinely shocked, "We're leaving the onesie Jin." Hoseok asserted

"Okay, geez," Seokjin said as he stood upright. Hoseok smiled, "Good boy, now let's go." The omega said as he headed to the shopping cart, the alpha glanced at the onesie and then back at Hoseok. "Another nudge to the stomach wouldn't hurt."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Seokjin got something worse than a nudge to the stomach, Hoseok cried.

Seokjin tried to calm him down but the omega seemingly cried louder, earning them weird looks.
Hoseok was babbling about Seokjin not spending his money on him and more stuff that didn't make sense.

Seokjin told him that he didn't mind spending all his money on Hoseok and Minseok.

The omega cried into his chest, "You're so kind Jinnie, I'm going to pay you back." Hoseok sniffled. "You don't have to." The alpha said as he rocked the omega side to side. Hoseok pinched Seokjin's side, "Shut up, Jwan, I'll pay you back."

"Okay, Jwae-hope... now are you going to eat your ice cream or let it melt?" Seokjin said, looking into the cup where the ice cream was melting. "Let it melt, it'll taste better." The younger mumbled.

"Okay." Seokjin covered the melting ice cream.

Hoseok sighed as he settled himself on the pile of newly washed clothes, he just finished taking a bath and now Seokjin was doing the same.

The omega sat up, a phone was ringing, it wasn't his though it was Seokjin's.
Hoseok picked the phone up from the coffee table, he was having an internal battle. Should he answer or go tell Seokjin who was showering?

He decided to go with the first option, he switched on the phone, and the older's mom was the one calling.

"Hello," Hoseok said as put the phone on speaker.

"Who is this?" The woman asked

Hoseok was stuck now, what was he supposed to say?

"I'm a friend...Jin-hyung is in the bathroom right now and I don't wanna disturb his shower, is there anything I should tell him?" The omega said as he took a seat on the couch once again.

"No, I can wait. So tell me how did you guys meet?"

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Seokjin walked out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his head. He could hear talking coming from the living room, "Hobi who are you talking to?" He asked.

No answer

Seokjin furrowed his eyebrows, he made his way to the living room, he could Hoseok was on the verge of tears as the person over the phone kept asking the same question.

It was his mother.

"Hoseok." He gently tapped the omega's shoulder, and Hoseok quickly moved toward him with his (Seokjin's) phone in hand. "She c-called and-and I tried to a-ask her wh-what I should tell you and-and-..." Seokjin cut the younger, "Breath, you just did whatever person would do." The older pulled the younger into his arms. Hoseok sniffled as hid his face in Seokjin's chest.

"You know I can hear you?" Seokjin's mother said Seokjin rolled his eyes, "I know."

"So are you coming to Chuseok this year? Your grandmothers wanted to see you." Seokjin's mother said. "If it's to see my halmeoni(s) then yes," Seokjin said, as he rubbed Hoseok's shoulder.

"And we're inviting the Choi family, I heard their daughter is single."

Hoseok gripped Seokjin's tank top as he let out a small annoyed whine. Seokjin giggled at the younger's actions, "Don't worry I'm not interested." Seokjin whispered, "You better be." Hoseok mumbled.

"Hello? Are you still there?"

"I am, I'm not interested in the Choi's daughter. I have other things that need more attention but I'll join you for Chuseok this year." Seokjin said.

"What are those other things? Jin you're 29 going onto 30 this year, you're no longer a young man and I'm not getting any younger and I want to see my grandkids before I die-..."

"Now this is the type of stuff that makes me not want to come and visit- See you on Chuseok mum." Seokjin ended the call.

"What happened to her? She changed." Hoseok asked. Seokjin massaged his temples," I don't know but ever since Namjoon got mated and married, she's been pestering me to do the same."

Hoseok nodded as looked out the window, where Mickey was running around.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"So you're going to Chuseok this year?" Namjoon asked as he pushed the stroller, "Halmeoni wanted to see me and you know I can't ignore her." Seokjin said as he put his hands in his pockets.

"Did mom say the same thing?" Namjoon asked, "She did but this time like Hoseok was the one who answered the phone and she kept asking him questions and he got overwhelmed-...It was just all irritating." Seokjin said as he glanced at Hoseok who was talking to Yoongi.

Hoseok had a huge smile on his face, he seemed so much different from the day when he arrived at his door drenched in water, shivering and pupped up.

Namjoon noticed how much Seokjin was staring like it was intense. "Someone's fallen hard," Namjoon said as grinned. "Shut up." Seokjin blushed, covering his face.

"No, no Jinnie," Jungkook said as he looked up Seokjin. "He's becoming more like you." Seokjin said, pointing at Namjoon. "Don't point at me, Yoongi made him say that. I could quietly cuss and all of a sudden he has super hearing."

Seokjin raised an eyebrow, "Jeez."

The two alphas shortly joined the omegas who were looking around the store.

Hoseok and Seokjin were walking together when a little kid tugged at Hoseok's t-shirt.

"Hi, Mr. Jung!" Hoseok's face lit up, "Hey Chaewon, how are sweetie?" Hoseok said as squatted down to the pup's height, "I'm good Mr. Jung. When are you coming back? Everyone misses you, even Mrs. Snippet." Hoseok giggled, "Even Mrs. Snippet?" Chaewon nodded.

"I missed you all too... lemme tell you a secret." Hoseok said the pup put her hand to her ear, "I'm coming back next week." He whispered, "Don't tell anyone, okay."

"I promise." The pup said acting as if she locked her mouth. "Good, now go back to your parents before they get worried." Chaewon nodded as she skipped away to a lady pushing a trolley.

"These kids like you?" Seokjin said as he helped to omega up. "Yeah, but they are just kids, they need someone to be their biggest supporter at home and school," Hoseok said as he balanced himself out.

"Now let's finish shopping, I'm hungry," Hoseok said as he held the older's hand.

- -

"That was me when I was about to give birth to Kookie," Yoongi said as he pointed at the picture on his phone. He looked tensed but had a smile on his face.

"Someone almost got murdered that day," Seokjin said as he glanced at Namjoon. "What? I was nervous and Yoongi kept crying and sending me around." The younger Kim said as he cuddled up next to Yoongi.

Yoongi laughed, "But your cousin was a big help on that day." Namjoon and Seokjin nodded.

Hoseok smiled, just listening to everyone speak about their happy memories made him feel happy.

Seokjin noticed how quiet Hoseok was, "You okay Hobi?" He asked. The omega nodded, "I'm just listening." Seokjin hummed softly, he put an arm around Hoseok's shoulders. "Just let me know if you need anything."

"I will, Hyung," Hoseok said as he rested his head on the alpha's shoulder. Seokjin smiled, he rested his other hand on Hoseok's tummy.

Yoongi and Namjoon gave each other a look before looking back at the two.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Seokjin woke up to the sound of his phone ringing, he groaned as he sat up. He checked who was calling him, it was his manager.

"Hello." He said as looked down at Hoseok who was asleep peacefully on the other side of the bed. "We have practice today at 7:00, I wanna see you there, refreshed and calm."

Seokjin glanced at Hoseok, "Is it okay if I bring someone with me?" He asked, getting up from the bed. "I-I mean- I guess so." The manager was confused. Seokjin smiled a little, "Thanks, see you at the ice rink." He ended the call with that.

He made his way over to Hoseok's side of the bed, squatting down in front of the omega, "Hobi." He softly shook the younger's shoulder.

Hoseok groaned as he opened his eyes, "What Hyung?" He mumbled, a triangle pout forming on his face. "Would you like to come with me to my hockey game practice?" He asked. The omega looked in his blankets, "What do you think Minseok?"

Seokjin slipped his hand under the blanket and put his hand on Hoseok's tummy. "Two kicks for no and one for yes, okay?" Seokjin nodded.

kick

"I assume that's a yes?" Seokjin said, a grin creeping up on his face. Hoseok sighed as sat up, "Sadly. You're going to get me McDonald's as payment."

Seokjin stood up, "Unfortunately I can't because the doctor said you have to eat healthy." He said, helping the omega stand up. "You want to make me cry so early in the morning?" Hoseok raised an eyebrow.

The alpha shrugged his shoulders, "Doctor's orders,"

Hoseok huffed before stepping on Seokjin's foot, "Meanie." He walked out of the room leaving Seokjin.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"You sure you're warm enough?" Seokjin asked as he helped Hoseok out of the car. "I'm fine Hyung," Hoseok reassured, patting Seokjin's chest. The older nodded but furrowed his eyebrows when he felt Hoseok squeeze his chest, "What was that?"

The omega cheekily smiled, "It's mental care." The alpha rolled his eyes, "Yeah, mental care. Let's go." Seokjin closed the car door.

Hoseok held Seokjin's hand as they walked into the skating rink. "It's been a while since I've been to an ice skating rink," Hoseok said as he let go of the older's hand. He watched as the players glided across the ice.

"How about we go to one after you give birth Minseok?" He said as he put his gym bag over his shoulder. Hoseok smiled brightly, "I'd like that."

The alpha and omega duo made their way to the rink, Hoseok held his tummy as he felt the gazes of the other players on him. The alpha put a hand over Hoseok's shoulders, pulling him closer and lightly scenting him.

"You're safe, I'm here, okay?" Seokjin whispered, the younger nodded, clinging to the older.

The duo were approached by two older guys, they looked shocked. "Nice to see you Jin." One of them said, "Same to you coach.

The two men's attention diverted to Hoseok who stood behind Seokjin, "I'm guessing you're Seokjin's mate?" Hoseok's eyes fluttered open, he glanced at Seokjin who was standing behind them. "Go along with it." The older mouthed.

Hoseok nodded his head, "Y-yeah I'm his mate. Does he speak about me?" Hoseok asked. "No, he doesn't speak about his personal life at all actually." The coach said. Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows, "That's odd, he's very talkative at home though."

Seokjin covered his face, which flushed red, Hoseok was quick to spot it, "Now he's shy." The omega moved over to Seokjin's side.

Hoseok put his arms around the older's torso, "Let's go, I need to change." The shy alpha said as he walked, making Hoseok move with him.

The duo walked away from the two betas that stared at them.

"Why aren't you as talkative when you're here?" Hoseok asked. Seokjin shook his head, "I'm just not comfortable with them knowing about my personal life." He said.

Hoseok hummed softly as they walked into an empty changing room.

- -

"So you're tired?" Seokjin asked as picked the omega up, "Yes." Hoseok mumbled, wrapping his arms around Seokjin's neck, "And you're also hungry?"

Hoseok nodded, "I'm craving chicken nuggets." The alpha shook his head as picked up his gym bag, "The doctor said you can't have any junk food"

"I'll cry right here, I don't care about the people watching." Hoseok threatened as he looked up at the older who shook his head, "Doctor orders."

Hoseok pouted as he rested his head on Seokjin's shoulder, "Meanie."

Seokjin passed the ice rink where most of his teammates were still practising, he made his way to his coach, "I'm going to leave now." He said bluntly. His coach nodded his head, "You have a practice match on Thursday next week, keep it noted." Seokjin nodded as he walked past his coach.

"Bye-bye, Coach." Hoseok chirped as he waved at the beta. "Bye." The coach waved back smiling.

"They are opposites." One of the hockey players said, watching the duo walk away. "I'm still shocked Jin-hyung has a mate," another one chimed in.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"At least someone understands my craving," Hoseok said as cuddled up next to Yoongi. Seokjin rolled his eyes, "I was just following the doctor's orders." Hoseok huffed at him as munched on the chocolate cake slice he had.

"I'm shocked you never beat up someone," Namjoon said as he walked into the living with Jungkook. "He beat up someone?!" Hoseok exclaimed as he looked over at younger Kim. Namjoon nodded, "Jin-hyung has anger issues like it's bad."

Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows, looking over at Seokjin who looked away, "Anger issues and Jin don't work together in the same sentence. Jin-hyung is sweetheart." Yoongi and Namjoon scoffed at that statement.

"Okay let's just change the topic,"  Seokjin spoke up as got up from the couch.

Hoseok turned around to face the older whose back was turned to him, "I know you're awake." He whispered.

Hoseok sighed as he got a response from the other, "What happened Hyung? You change a whole lot." He sat up.

"I don't want to speak about it." Seokjin mumbled, "Well too bad, turn around Jin." Hoseok said, nudging the alpha with his elbow. The older grumbled as he turned around.

Hoseok patted his lap, "What's this about you having ‘serious’ anger issues?" Seokjin placed his head on the omega's lap, "I don't have anger issues."

"So why am I getting told so many perspectives of you from other people?" Hoseok said, slowly running his fingers through the older's hair.

"I don't know...I missed you." Seokjin mumbled as he hid his face in Hoseok's lap. Hoseok knitted his eyebrows together but relaxed them as soon as he realised what Seokjin meant.

Hoseok smiled, "You're such a big baby... I'm not leaving this time around Hyung," he whispered.

"You promise?" Seokjin put his pinkie up in the air. "I promise Jin-ah." The omega said, wrapping his pinkie around the older's.

"Jin-hyung! Look!" Little Hoseok pointing at the shooting star. "Make a wish quickly." Little Seokjin said.

They were up in Seokjin's treehouse, Hoseok snuggled up next to Seokjin who held him close. Their little legs swing off the edge of the tree house.

Hoseok closed his eyes and clasped his hands together a few seconds passed before Hoseok opened his eyes. "What did you wish for?" Seokjin asked. Hoseok smiled as he looked up at the older boy, "I want to be with you forever and ever!" He said, swinging his legs back and forth.

Seokjin smiled, "Me too little Seok."

"Hyung bring your head down," Hoseok asked, innocently. Seokjin obliged, his face turned red when he felt Hoseok peck his cheek, "What w-was that for?"

"Mum and Dad always do that and they said it's a way of showing affection to someone you love and I love you Jin-hyung," Hoseok said, his iconic heart-shaped smile on his lips. Seokjin nodded his head, Hoseok was too young to understand the concept of love.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Hoseok and Seokjin were babysitting for Yoongi and Namjoon because Namjoon went into a rut.

So now Seokjin was having a staring competition with Jungkook who just stared at him, sipping on the banana milk in his sippy cup.

"What are you two doing?" Hoseok waddled into the living room with his laptop in hand. He was currently in his eighth month of pregnancy and was going to the ninth. He found walking tiring, his back was aching constantly and his chest was starting to swell up.

"I don't even know, he just keeps staring at me," Seokjin said, getting up from his chair. Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows as he walked over to Jungkook, "Do want to eat dino nuggets Kookie?" Hoseok picked the pup up. "Dino nuggies for Kookie?" Jungkook tilted his head, "Yes Dino nuggies and creamy spinach because you need your veggies." Hoseok said poking the boy's cheek.

Seokjin followed them into the kitchen, "We have Dino nuggies?" He asked. "Yeah, I bought them when I came back from work last week," Hoseok said as he seated the pup on the high chair.

Seokjin and Hoseok had ordered everything for Minseok a week ago since Hoseok's due date was nearing.

"Hoseokie's baby," Jungkook said as he pointed at Hoseok's tummy. "Yes, she's bigger now." Hoseok took out the packet of Dino nuggies from the fridge.

"She's going to look her eomama," Seokjin said as he rested his hands on Hoseok's hips. Hoseok's face flushed red, not at the comment but at the alpha's hands on his hips.

Seokjin rested his head on the younger's shoulder, "Let me make Jungkook his food, okay?" Seokjin huskily said, massaging his sides. Hoseok almost melted right there and then. "You can make him dinner," Hoseok turned his head around.

"The doctor to you to take it easy," Seokjin said.

"I am, I just wanted to do something productive since I've just been sitting around," Hoseok said, turning his body fully. "Tell your alpha to calm down," Hoseok said softly, as poked the older's chest.

Seokjin quietly nodded his head.

"Mama call?" Jungkook asked, staring at Hoseok with doe eyes. "I'll call your mom right now Kookie," Hoseok said as he clicked on the video call button.
Jungkook climbed into Hoseok's lap, holding his calico cat plushie.

"Where's my baby boy?" Yoongi's voice echoed from the phone.

"Mama!" Jungkook squealed as he stared at the phone. "He was missing you," Hoseok said as fixed his sitting position.

"I know, I was missing my baby too," Yoongi said, making a kissy face at Jungkook who copied his actions.

"So how is it so far?" Hoseok asked, a cheeky grin on his face. Yoongi raised his eyebrows up and down as he grinned, "It was great." Yoongi stretched his arms.

"Who are you talking to?" Hoseok heard Seokjin call out. "Mama wook!" Jungkook said as pointed at Hoseok's tummy, Hoseok and Yoongi chuckled at the pup. "I hope he isn't causing you guys any trouble," Yoongi said, getting up from wherever he was seated.

"He's been pretty quiet," Seokjin said as he walked into the room. Hoseok nodded as ruffled the pup's hair.

"What are you doing little man?" Seokjin said, as he picked Jungkook up and tossed him in the air. "Kitty!" Jungkook squealed, holding out his calico cat plushie.

- -

"You're done putting him to bed?" Hoseok asked as looked up from his laptop.

Seokjin nodded as he stretched his arms, "He was out like a light bulb."
The alpha took a seat on the couch, before resting his head on the omega's lap.

"How's your shoulder?" Hoseok asked.

"It still hurts like a bitch." Seokjin mumbled as nuzzled his head into Hoseok's tummy.

This has become a habit for them, after work they'd get cleaned up and make dinner and once they were done eating Seokjin was either talking to Minseok or dozing off on the omega's couch. It was a stress reliever for him, and Hoseok's strawberry and chocolate chip cookie scent that filled the whole house was heaven.

Hoseok enjoyed these moments with the older, the overprotective hand on his tummy, the older's scent lingering on him the next morning and small caresses of the thigh, which drove him crazy.

"You're wearing my sweatpants and hoodie." Seokjin said as he drew shapes into Hoseok's tummy, "These are the only things that fit me. I'm sorry." Hoseok said as placed his laptop on the coffee table in front of them.

"Don't say sorry. It's very...gosh." The alpha muttered under his breath as his face went red. Hoseok chuckled, "You're probably preening with pride aren't you?" Hoseok said as poked the older's cheek.

Seokjin groaned, embarrassed.

"Remember back in high school, when you'd let me take your t-shirts to help me through my heats?"

"I do, it's practically engraved into my memory," Seokjin said

"And I remember how you'd lock yourself up in your room during your rut, just because you were stubborn and didn't want me near you."

"Ohhh and you learnt how to pick the lock. You refused to leave my side until the end of my rut." Seokjin said, looking Hoseok in the eye.

"Yeah... Cause you needed me at the time." Hoseok said, caressing the side of the older's face.

The alpha sat up, turning his body to face the omega who faced him, Seokjin moved closer to Hoseok.

Hoseok's eyes fluttered between the older's eyes and lips.

"You've always been there for me, Hoseok. So let me be there for you." Seokjin said as he held the younger's hands. Hoseok blinked at the older, his cheeks tinted pink, "Are y-you sure? You have so many unused omegas that would like to be with you." Hoseok said.

"I want you, just you. So will you please let me be there for you?" The alpha asked, Hoseok moved his hands up to cup the older's face, "Y-yeah." The omega's voice cracked a little, his eyes dissolving into crescents.

Seokjin smiled before closing the space between them, slowly sliding his arms around Hoseok. Hoseok kissed back, his arms circling Seokjin's neck.

Hoseok moved his legs onto the couch, wrapping them around the older's waist, the older ran his hands up and down the younger's thighs as the kiss deepened.

kick, kick

Seokjin and Hoseok pulled away, airly chuckling, "We woke her up."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"What can I get for a courting gift?" Seokjin asked.

Namjoon choked on his sandwich, startling the pup in his arms, "Sorry Kook...Why do need a courting gift? Did you find someone to court?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow.

"Joon I love you and all but sometimes you can be as blunt as a pencil," Yoongi said as walked into the studio.

Seokjin nodded, "I just got out of a rut, I'm not in the right mindset." The younger alpha shrugged his shoulders.

Yoongi shook his head before diverting his attention to Seokjin, "What does Hoseok like?" He asked.

Seokjin pursed his lips in thought, "I don't know." He said bluntly.

"How could you not know what the person you want to court-..." Yoongi was cut off by the older.

"I don't know what to choose, he likes a lot of things," Seokjin said, "Blankie?" Jungkook said holding up his blanket. "No blankie Jungkookie." Namjoon said, kissing the pup's forehead.

"You're a genius Jungkook!" Seokjin stood up abruptly, he ruffled the boy's hair, "See you two later." The older step out of the studio, closing the door behind him.

Namjoon and Yoongi furrowed their eyebrows before shaking their heads. Jungkook copied their actions, "No, no, no."

- -

Hoseok was substituting for the grade 11 teacher who called in sick.

"Order for Mr. Jung." Hoseok looked up at the door, "Oh- Who is it from?" Hoseok asked getting up from his chair.

The students in the classroom quietly as they listened.

"It's from Kim Seokjin." Hoseok's eyes went wide, "Oh, well tell him I said thank you." He said as he took the large gift bag from the courier. "I'll be sure to tell him, enjoy the rest of your day." Hoseok bowed his head.

The omega peeked into the bag, he smiled when he saw a yellow pastel blanket inside and a box of chocolates.

Hoseok quickly made his way back to his table, glancing up at the students who seemed busy with their work.

"Mr.Jung?" Hoseok turned his attention to a girl who had her hand raised.

"Yes, honey." He said, letting the girl know she could speak.

"Uhm- This is a personal question but...but how do Jin, like you're a teacher and his a famous hockey player?"

Hoseok smiled as he took a seat on a chair next to the window, "I'm a friend."

"But you have a gift bag and isn't that normally a sign of courting?" Another student chimed in. "You're very observant aren't you?" Hoseok said as rested his hands on his tummy.

The students nodded their heads, "Well, we're friends. Now finish your work before you forget to do it." Hoseok said.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"Thanks for the gift Hyung," Hoseok said as stared at the older who cooking in the kitchen.

"No problem," Seokjin mumbled, his face flushing a furious red. Hoseok smiled as he got up from his chair before waddling over to the alpha who was cutting celery, he wrapped his arms around his waist.

Seokjin's face seemingly got redder, "You smell like distress and constipation." Hoseok mumbled, "Do I smell like that?" Seokjin asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

"No, you smell like me. I just wanted you to talk." Hoseok said, "I have a go to a gala on Thursday night." Seokjin said as put the chopped-up celery into the pot of soup.

"Oooooh, my Hyung in a suit. I'd like to see that." Hoseok said in a sing-song voice.

Seokjin turned around, putting his arms on the younger's neck, "I don't want to go." The alpha pouted, "Don't get all pouty, you're going to go there and enjoy yourself." Hoseok said, pinching the older's waist. Seokjin pouted even more, "I want to stay home, I usually miss these events."

"You're such a baby Hyung, imagine if your teammates get to know how much of a clingy alpha you are," Hoseok said.

The alpha huffed as he put his head on Hoseok's shoulder, "I'll go then."

The omega smiled, patting the taller's back, "Now that's a good boy." Seokjin grumbled as he stood upright.

Hoseok cupped Seokjin's face, "You're a good alpha," he said before pecking Seokjin's lips. Seokjin smiled, his alpha was howling with pride.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Hoseok let out a satisfied sigh as he sat down on the couch.

He'd just finished reorganizing the bathroom cupboard and sorting Minseok's room again.

Seokjin was currently at the gala he had mentioned earlier during the week. Hoseok had to pry the alpha off him just because he didn't want to go.

The alpha had called him about 4 times in a night, Hoseok rolled his eyes when he saw the older's sheepish grin through the camera.

Right now he was waiting up on Seokjin who was supposed to be back about an hour ago.

Hoseok pursed his lips together as he debated on waiting for Seokjin outside.

The omega got up from the couch and waddled over to the door, slipping on the huge letterman jacket on the coat hanger in the corridor and the slippers by the door.

Hoseok glanced at the sleeping puppy near the door before stepping outside.

It was autumn in Korea and the weather has become a little chilly over the past week.

Hoseok caressed his belly as he walked around in the driveway. "Where are you hyung?" He muttered under his breath.

A few minutes passed of Hoseok walking up and down the drive, and he saw Seokjin's car pulling up in front of him.

He watches as the older steps out of the car, his steps are wobbly and his suit is wrinkled. As the alpha got closer the more prominent the smell of alcohol grew.

"Are you drunk?" The omega asked as he looked up at Seokjin who aggressively shook his head.

"I had- one, two, three, four...five drinks." The older said, putting up six fingers, a lopsided smile gracing his face. "How did you even get home?" The alpha shrugged as he moved to hug the omega.

"Gosh, you need to change," Hoseok said as ruffled Seokjin's hair.

Seokjin just nodded, as he scented Hoseok.

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Hoseok had left Seokjin in bed with a cup of chicken soup, a glass of water and some painkillers because the alpha woke up with a headache, was sweating like a pig and his scent was all over the apartment, which he decided to ignore. Hoseok noticed how Seokjin's gaze followed him as he got ready for work. The alpha was less clingy than usual, Seokjin just said goodbye to him before going back into his bedroom.

Currently, Hoseok was covering lunchtime with Mr Kim, the only beta in the school.

"What did he say about your proposal?" Hoseok asked as he munched on the cupped noodles in his hands.

"He said yes." The beta said as he fixed his glasses.

Hoseok grinned cheekily at the younger, "You cried didn't you, Tae?" He nudged the younger whose face flushed red out of embarrassment.

"I was shocked. He's such a perfect omega and I'm a beta who is way out of his league." Taehyung said as he fiddled with his fingers.

Hoseok rolled his eyes, "You two are a match made in heaven. Jimin loves you to bits." The younger smiled at the older's words, "You remind me of my  mate's cousin."

"Aish." Hoseok hit Taehyung's shoulder playfully.

Taehyung chuckled before speaking up, "So I noticed that you're much more smiley-er than before. I'm guessing you're not staying with Hanseul anymore?" The beta said raising his eyebrow.

"I decided to leave him after what happened. I'm staying with a friend." Hoseok said as his eyes slowly turned into crescents as he smiled.

"That's a smile I haven't seen in a while, tell me about him," Taehyung said as grinned cheekily.

"He's such a sweetheart and he took me in at my lowest moment and he grew attached to Minseok." The omega beamed.

"Mr. Jung, Frankie doesn't to share the pillow."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Hoseok decided to go home early because he was concerned about the older's wellbeing.

Immediately once the omega stepped inside the apartment, he was hit with a wave of pheromones. Hoseok quickly closed the door behind him before walking into the apartment and opening the windows to let fresh air inside.

"Jin-hyung, I'm back!" Hoseok shouted as he put his backpack on the couch.

The omega furrowed his eyebrows when he heard shuffling in the older room.'He has been out of his room since morning?' he thought as he approached the older's room.

"Jin-hyung-... it's locked." Hoseok muttered as he tried to push the door open.

Hoseok heard a small groan from the bedroom, "Hyung, you're worrying. Please open the door or just say something." Hoseok said, worry lacing his voice.

"I don't want to hurt you." Hoseok hears the older's voice sounds like he has been running around a tennis court the whole day.

Then it hit Hoseok like a bus, Seokjin was going into a rut.

"Jin, you're not going to hurt me. Please just open the door." Hoseok said as bent down to look under the small gap in between the door and the floor.

Hoseok saw Seokjin's feet stepping closer to the door. The omega stood back up, and put a hand on his hip. As much as what was happening was serious, he couldn't help but groan and curse about the back pain in his head. Hoseok heard the door unlock from inside. He knew that the alpha was hesitant to come outside."Stop hesitating Jinnie, you're not going to hurt me or Minseok," Hoseok said as he slowly opened the bedroom door. The alpha opened the door before throwing himself into Hoseok's arms.

Hoseok smiled as he rubbed the back of the alpha's neck, "Now that's a good alpha." The omega whispered.

Seokjin nuzzled his head in the crook of the younger's neck, trying to scent himself as much as possible. Hoseok couldn't help but coo at the older who still had the same habit of scenting himself when distressed.

"You smell like a beta," Seokjin mumbled, it was more of a low growl.

"It was my co-worker." The omega said, rubbing the alpha's back.

Hoseok let his scent spread throughout the house, calming down to older in his arms.

"I don't like it," Seokjin said as gripped on Hoseok's sweater.

Hoseok rolled his eyes, "Possessive much."

- -

Seokjin was only in his pre-rut, so it wasn't anything serious. Just the clingy behaviour and overly clammy hands.

Hoseok couldn't help but wonder how the alpha kept his ruts a secret.

"How were you hiding your ruts?" Hoseok asked as glanced down at Seokjin whose head was on his lap as they watched the random movie.

"I used rut suppressants," Seokjin mumbled.

Hoseok hummed as he brushed Seokjin's hair from his face.

The whole afternoon consisted of Seokjin cuddling with the omega and Hoseok scenting the alpha while whispering sweet words into his ear.

"You're such a big softie," Hoseok said, cupping the older's face, squishing his cheeks together, puckering the older's lips. "You're cute," Hoseok said as he planted a small kiss on Seokjin's cheeks.

"I'm older than you know that right?"

"I know. Remember when you used to wear glasses?"

"I looked so nerdy and weird," Seokjin mumbled, shaking his head as the memory of his younger self flashed in his head.

"No, you weren't! You looked cute. I like your glasses."

Seokjin bit his lip as looked at Hoseok.

"I still wear glasses but outside the house, I stick to contacts, which makes me look less- you know," Seokjin said, his voice laced with uncertainty.

The omega tilted his head, "I think you good with or without glasses Jinnie." Seokjin knew Hoseok wasn't speaking about the glasses. The younger was always quick to piece up Seokjin's parables.

"You're a good alpha, hyung and I'm a lucky omega to have you courting me." Hoseok smiled.

Seokjin's face flushed red, the alpha hid his face in Hoseok's tummy. "Is she awake?" The alpha asked, trying to change the topic.

"Yeah, she's just moving around," Hoseok said as he fixed the pillow supporting his back.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Around 3 am Hoseok woke up to Seokjin's heavy breathing and him burning up with heat. The younger saw how the older's eyes were flickering between red and brown.

The alpha tried to tell Hoseok to leave the room but the omega ignored him and just walked into the bathroom and let cold water fill up in the tub.

Seokjin just laid on the bed, sprawled out, the blankets at the edge of the bed and his sweat-drenched shirt on the floor. He smelt like arousal and burnt coconut.

All he could focus on was the bubbling coil of heat in the pit of his stomach and the smell of freshly baked cookies and ripe strawberries in the room.

Gosh his scent smells good

That was Seokjin's alpha thinking.

Hoseok walked back into the room, with an ice tray and a towel. The omega beckoned for him to follow him. Seokjin being in the embarrassing situation he was in, followed the omega.

Hoseok yawned, stretching his arms. Seokjin gulped when he saw Hoseok's tanned skin peeking out, almost as if to tease him. Seokjin felt an aching feeling in his teeth. Seokjin didn't know why he acting like he was going through his first rut. He wasn't like this ever like this, he'd act like his normal self.

"Hyung, go inside."

Hoseok carded his fingers through the older's wet hair, using his free hand to hold the ice towel against the alpha's forehead. Seokjin's hands were covering his lower body. The older's body temperature just seemed to increase and Seokjin's was starting to get restless, his body aching.

Hoseok pursed his lips together as he debated on what to do. Only one option of all of the ideas on how to help the older.
His omega was on board with this idea but gosh...

Seokjin soon got out of the tub, and now it was sunrise. Hoseok left Seokjin to get dressed while he cleaned up the house.

The younger was having a hard time getting around and the pained groans coming from the alpha just added to the growing weight on his chest. Hoseok was able to clean up the apartment and make a light breakfast for the older. Being 9 months pregnant and cleaning up a whole apartment by yourself is tough but he pushed through was trying to get another plate, which was on the highest shelf. The omega whined, a triangle pout forming on his lips. The omega froze up when a pair of arms snaked around his waist.

It was Seokjin

"Aren't you supposed to be lying down?"

"I'm not sick. I'm not immobile, I can move around."

Seokjin reached out to get the plate, bringing it down from the shelf.

"Are you feeling much better?" The omega inquired.

"To be frank, no and I think I'm going to go back," Seokjin mumbled as he hesitantly unwrapped his arms from Hoseok.

The alpha made his way back to the bedroom quickly. Hoseok felt that weight on his chest when he heard Seokjin groan in pain.
His omega was whining but it was risky. He was nine months pregnant and with one wrong move, he'd be in a c-section. It might seem comical but it's a possibility at the same time hearing the older's pain and heavy breathing was driving him over the edge. Fuck his sensitive hearing.

- -

Hoseok was cradling the alpha who just gripped onto his jersey as if his life depended on it.

"Just go stay over at Joon's. I can't hold myself together anymore Hobi." Seokjin rasped as he nuzzled his head in the crook of Hoseok's neck.

"Then let me help you."

Seokjin's eyes widened at those words.

"N-no. I can't, I could hurt you or Minseok."

Hoseok smiled as he cupped the alpha's face, so he could look at him.

"You have more control over yourself than you think, Jin. I trust you enough not to hurt me or Minseok." Hoseok said, brushing his thumb over Seokjin's flushed cheek.

Seokjin licked his lips, "Are y-you sure, what if I get aggressive?"

Hoseok nodded, "I know you won't."

The older pursed his lips together as he watched Hoseok get up from the couch. The younger put his hand out, beckoning for Seokjin to follow him. Seokjin held Hoseok's hand as the omega led him to his bedroom, locking it behind them in case Mickey ran in while they were at it. Hoseok felt the weight on his chest disappear. The omega let his scent flow through the room, grounding Seokjin who seemed a little hesitant.

"Get onto the bed hyung."

Seokjin didn't know if it was his rut messing with his hearing but the younger sounded hot.

The alpha hopped onto the bed. Hoseok straddled his lap before squishing the older's face, "You're a good alpha, you know that."

Seokjin's alpha was preening with pride at the omega's words.

"You're so sweet, Jin." Hoseok kissed his forehead.

"You're pretty." Hoseok kissed his nose

"You're amazing," Hoseok whispered as he placed a feverish kiss on Seokjin's lips.

The alpha's face was red, all this complimenting was getting him all shy, especially since it was Hoseok.

"I'm such a lucky omega to have you court me," Hoseok said, pecking Seokjin's cheek.

Hoseok moved Seokjin's arm and put it around his back.

"Imma make you feel so good hyung, okay?" Seokjin nodded. Hoseok was getting him all hot and high. That familiar feeling of heat in the bottom of his stomach began to come back. The alpha rested his head on Hoseok's shoulder, nuzzling his face into the soft fabric of the hoodie Hoseok was wearing. Hoseok kissed the top of the older's head, as he slowly dragged his fingers across the hot skin of the older man.

"Imma make you feel good...Jin." the younger breathed, airly chuckling at the silent gasp Seokjin let out when he slowly moved his hips.

Hoseok kissed Seokjin's temple as slowly moved his hips, taking his sweet time to get the older hot and high.

"Muh-more." Seokjin breathed, his breath hitching with every move.

"Okay, Hyung."

Hoseok slowly ran his hand down Seokjin's chest, to the waistband of his sweats.

"You want this?" Hoseok tugged lightly at the waistband, the alpha nodded, lifting his head to face the omega. The older's flushed face, messy hair and blown-out red eyes...he looked adorable. Hoseok moved his hands up to cup the older's face once again, "You're so cute." He cooed, pressing their foreheads together.

"Not right now Hoseok-ah," Seokjin whined.

"I can't help it. You're too cute." The omega pecked his lips.

Seokjin was dying here, Hoseok was getting him all hot and high and then going back to being all cutesy.

"Okay let's get back to helping you," Hoseok said, patting the older's cheek.

Seokjin once again rested his head on the younger's shoulder, his hands resting on the bed underneath them. Seokjin felt Hoseok's hand crawl its way into his sweat. The alpha let out a small moan as Hoseok slowly stroked his member.

"You're so huge, Jin-ah," Hoseok whispered into his ear as stroked him more.

The omega kissed the vein on the side of the alpha's head, whispering sweet nothings into his ear as he stroked the alpha into pure bliss. Seokjin had quick handjobs, blowjobs or sex but the way Hoseok made him feel was so much better than any intercourse he had experienced in the past. The omega knew how to make him feel good and immediately turned him into pudding within a few seconds.

"Better Jinnie?" Hoseok asked as he stared at the alpha who seemed out of it. Seokjin opened his eyes and was met with Hoseok's round eyes and pouty lips.

Gosh, he was so beautiful.

Seokjin thought as stared up at the younger who seemed concerned.

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Seokjin and Hoseok decided to take a walk outside, just to get some fresh air after staying in the house for the whole day.

"Just 2 more weeks until I get to see her," Seokjin said as he felt Minseok's kicks.

"I'm excited to see her," Hoseok said as put his hands over his tummy.

The alpha and omega duo sat on the park bench watching the sun slowly set.
Hoseok cuddled up next to Seokjin, resting his head on the older's shoulder.

He was at peace, he was at peace with himself, and he made peace with the fact that he was worth being loved and cared for.

°

°

"You're such an omega useless. I work all day but you can't even cook a decent meal. What is your purpose?"

"You just want attention from other alphas, look at the way you're dressed."

"You can't even satisfy me, what's your purpose even at this point?!"

"Can't you do anything else than just complain about you being sick and how you can't eat anything?"

Hoseok spent several hours of his life crying about the harsh words  Hanseul  spat at him. He wondered how he got here.

Hoseok stared at his pregnant tummy, "My hop e." He muttered as he caressed his belly.

Hoseok had contemplated taking his life when he was feeling lower than low but he immediately pushed that thought away. He'd be taking away the life of the innocent pup growing inside his womb a chance to live a life or maybe even better life.

The omega endured through everything until that one night when he had come back home to see his mate fucking the brains out of his secretary. Hoseok was angry, he screamed at  Hanseul .

Hoseok stared at the alpha who had his hand raised to slap him but the secretary stopped him from landing any hit on the pregnant omega.

That night Hoseok just took his phone, Mickey and a coat, and left for good.

He contemplated going to stay at Taehyung's but he didn't want to get an 'i told' speech.

He boarded a train, he didn't know where to go. He just wanted to disappear.

Hoseok remembered the research he'd been doing the past few weeks. He'd been trying to find that one friend, his childhood best friend, the light in his world before everything fell to pieces.

So he decided to go to Seokjin's house.

The omega cried fat tears when the older let him in without a question in the world, for the first time in 8 years he felt loved, and safe...god was this a beautiful feeling for him.

" Don't be sorry, you're always welcome here and I will always be here, even if it is after 10 years ."

°

°

°

"Why are you crying, Hobi?" Hoseok looked up at Seokjin who seemed concerned.

Hoseok felt his cheeks were wet and his vision was fogged up with tears. He was crying?

Hoseok sniffled as he wiped his eyes with the sleeves of his jersey.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Hoseok chuckled softly, covering his face. This big, clingy, amazing alpha that had stepped into his life once again, Hoseok learnt what it meant to be loved, to be cared for...gosh sometimes he which he was Minseok's father.

"Sometimes I wish you were Minseok's father at times," Hoseok said, sniffling.

"I'm still waiting for you to accept my courtship," Seokjin said, handing a tissue to the omega.

"God, you're just as blunt as your brother, aren't you?"

"It runs in the family."

Hoseok rolled his eyes before cupping Seokjin's face, "I accept your courtship, gosh you dumb alpha."

Seokjin smiled as he pressed their foreheads together.

"I'm going to love you and Minseok so much."

Hoseok smiled, "And I'll show you what it means to be loved Jinnie."

Their noses were pressed up together, they were in their little world.
Love and adoration in their eyes.

Seokjin, Hoseok and Minseok.

- -

"I can't wait to dress her up in frilly dresses," Seokjin said.

"You're so girl dad coded hyung."

Hoseok and Seokjin were walking back home, hand in hand.
Hoseok was listening to Seokjin ramble on and on about doing Minseok's hair, dressing her up and how he was going to spoil her.

"Gosh, today is the best day ever."

"Is it because of the handjob or me accepting your courtship?"

"Both."

Hoseok burst out laughing, holding his tummy.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"You seem comfortable," Hoseok said as looked down at the alpha who was seated in between his legs and was resting his on the omega's thigh.

"I am," Seokjin mumbled, leaning into Hoseok's touch.

Hoseok smiled at the alpha, Seokjin had finished his rut about a week ago and he was back to his daily routine but since Hoseok's due date was nearing, the alpha was always home early.

Especially since now, Hoseok was constantly distressed. He had to keep omega from stressing cause that could cause complications. (Yes he was reading articles about pregnancy.)

Hoseok and Seokjin jumped in their seats when they heard the apartment door open.

"Once again we thought you were dead-...Hyung?" Namjoon furrowed his eyebrows at the two.

Seokjin was about to stand up but Hoseok wrapped his legs around Seokjin's shoulders, locking him in his position.

"You can't just burst into their apartment, meathead. You're going to stress Hoseok." Yoongi said as he closed the door behind him.

"We heard you needed extra hands, so we're here and Minnie will arrive soon," Yoongi said as he ruffled Hoseok's hair.

Hoseok smiled as he leaned into Yoongi's touch.

"Hoseokie's baby." Jungkook put a hand on the omega's head.

"And Jinnie's too."

Seokjin added quietly but not quiet enough for Yoongi not to hear.

Hoseok softly scratched the back of Seokjin's hair, "Yeah, Jinnie's too."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"What are you going to do for his birthday?" Hoseok asked.

"We were thinking of doing a small trip to the zoo but Namjoon was thinking of having a conjoined birthday with him," Yoongi said, zipping up the duffle bag.

"They share a birthday?"

"Their birthdays are 13 days apart."

"Jungkook is the best birthday present I've ever got," Namjoon said, as he kissed Yoongi's cheek.

Hoseok cooed at the couple, they were a match made in heaven.

"You two are cute together," Hoseok said as smiled at the couple.

Namjoon and Yoongi helped Seokjin and Hoseok prepare for the delivery, they packed a maternity bag filled with Hoseok's things and essentials since he was going to be in the hospital for a while.

They finished packing the baby bag and putting together the last things for Minseok and Jungkook assisted them by keeping Mickey away from the room and snuggling up next to Hoseok (maybe he was tired but we move).

"So are you two an item now?" Yoongi asked.

Seokjin glanced over at Hoseok who looked flustered by the question. The alpha gently pulled the omega close by his waist.

"Yeah."

Hoseok nodded as he leaned his head on the older's shoulder.

- -

Currently, Hoseok and Yoongi were chilling inside the apartment while Seokjin and Namjoon stood outside waiting on their cousin.

"I'm so scared."

"There's nothing to be scared of honey. You have us and your delivery is going to be alright."

Yoongi hugged the younger omega before planting a small kiss on his forehead. Omegas tend to be more affectionate when around other omegas, everything they do is platonic except for those omega/omega couples. Yoongi is just trying to calm the younger omega.

"Please be there while I give birth?"

Yoongi patted Hoseok's head, "Of course, I'm going to be there."

"I'm not 6! Leave me alone hyungs."

Hoseok and Yoongi looked to the door, by the door stood an omega with blonde hair.

"Hobi Hyung."

Hoseok smiled as the omega ran up to him and hugged him.

"So you're the omega Jinnie and Joonie were talking about."

"Yeah. You're related to them?"

Jimin nodded, "We just have different surnames but sadly I'm related to those two meatheads."

"Aye, we raised you." Namjoon and Seokjin said in unison.

Jimin rolled his eyes as he took a seat next to Hoseok and Yoongi.

"So, where is your fiance?~"

Jimin turned around to face the two alphas blocking the entrance of the apartment.

"Can you two stop being bitter and let him in." Jimin clicked his tongue as he glared.

Namjoon and Seokjin stepped to the side, revealing Taehyung who looked nervous.

"He is such a baby," Jimin said as he walked toward the beta, removing the leaves in his hair.

"Hey hyung, hey Hobi Hyung." Taehyung greeted.

"Hi Tae~." Hoseok and Yoongi greeted

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Seokjin watched as Hoseok the omega talked over the phone.

"See you then, bye!"

Hoseok switched off his phone before walking over to the older who was standing by the door.

"My sister called," Hoseok said as he wrapped his arms around Seokjin's torso.

"Is she going to be there while you give birth?" Seokjin asked, pressing their foreheads together. Hoseok nodded, running his fingers across Seokjin's lower back.

The alpha and omega stood there, enjoying their company.

Hoseok kissed Seokjin's chin, "Let's go to bed." Seokjin hummed softly.

They slowly made their way to their bedroom, Seokjin having a good grip on the omega's hip.

They were content with each other.

Now let's have a small glimpse of our other couple's life.

"I know you don't want to see her but I don't want to go alone hyung," Namjoon said, snaking his hands around his mate's waist.

Yoongi sighed as he put down the t-shirt he was folding, "It's not like I can stop you from going, she's your mother after all."

The alpha kissed the omega's temple, "Plus, my grandparents haven't seen Kook since he was born."

"I'm just worried."

Namjoon furrowed his eyebrows as he looked down at his omega who seemed distressed.

"Worried about what? You can tell me."

Yoongi lightly chuckled at the younger's facial expression, he was a big puppy.

"I'm worried about Hoseok. I'm used to her but him- if Seokjin brings him along with his pup she'd judge him immediately."

Namjoon sucked his teeth, "You do have a point but for what reason?"

Yoongi shook his head, he wasn't ready to tell the younger. He didn't want to ruin the way he looked at his mother.

"It's just something... please go check up on Kookie, he must be exhausted from today," Yoongi said.

The alpha nodded but before walking away he kissed the omega's cheek.

"Don't worry too much, love."

Yoongi's face turned red at 'love', "Go check on our son dumbass!" Namjoon dodges the t-shirt thrown at him.

The omega let out a small sigh, he wasn't going to let his mother-in-law ruin his Chuseok. She already ruined his wedding.

"Papa." Jungkook latched onto Namjoon.

"Yes, Kook?"

The pup just snuggled into his chest. The alpha smiled, "You're just like your mom." He kissed the pup's forehead.

27 August, 3:00 am

Hoseok groaned in discomfort, he felt something warm in his inner thighs. The omega slowly got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. He fumbled around to find the light switch, once he switched the lights he was met with a shocking sight.

His track pants were wet.

Hoseok knew this wasn't pee, Hoseok felt Minseok move, and she was turning around. The omega calmly changed his pants and went to toss them into the washing machine. He grabbed the bags they had packed and placed them on the couch. He went back to the bedroom where Seokjin was asleep still, Hoseok softly nudged Seokjin's shoulder.

The alpha groaned as he turned around, "What? It's so early in the morning." He mumbled.

"It's time," Hoseok said

Seokjin furrowed his eyebrows, pouting as he looked up at the younger.

"What do you mean by 'it's time'?"

"Seokjin, I'm going into labour."

The alpha's eyes opened, and he quickly got up from the bed, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Hoseok shrugged as he watched the older shuffle around the room, getting his phone and putting on his clothes.

"Aren't you in pain?" Seokjin asked as he stared at Hoseok.

"No, but I can feel her moving."

The alpha shook his head, he picked the omega up, "I'll call Namjoon and Yoongi to meet us at the hospital."

Hoseok hummed as he nuzzled his head in the crook of Seokjin's neck. He was scared to death but didn't want to stress out Minseok or Seokjin. Hoseok sat in the car, while Seokjin hurriedly packed the bags. He texted his sister that he was going into labour and she said she'd meet him at the hospital.

Seokjin got into the car, he glanced over at Hoseok who was oddly quiet. He tapped the omega's thigh.

"Don't worry, everything will be okay."

Hoseok's eyes were brimming with tears, "I'm scared Jin."

Seokjin moved and pressed his forehead against the younger's.

"I'm here, nothing is going to happen. You're going to be alright Hobi."

Seokjin kissed Hoseok's lips, "I'm here."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Hoseok and Seokjin arrived at the hospital, Hoseok held Seokjin's hand as they took them to the pregnancy ward. Seokjin had to ignore the looks of shock as he passed by.

The omega started having contractions almost immediately when they reached the hospital, as much as Seokjin was an alpha, the grip that Hoseok had on his wrist was. He was scared that the omega would break his wrist.

"We're here!"

Yoongi and Namjoon breathed heavily as they entered the room.

"Did you guys run here?" Seokjin asked as tried to free his wrist but Hoseok glared at him, making him sit back down.

Yoongi shook his head, "We thought that we were late because Joon decided to be overprotective." The older omega walked to Hoseok.

"Of who?"

Yoongi chuckled, "Jungkook. He has some beef with one of Kookie's playmates."

"He kissed my baby," Namjoon mumbled.

Seokjin and Hoseok laughed at alpha who looked like an upset puppy.

"They are just babies."

"Still!"

After a few minutes of waiting, the doctor appeared. He told them that they were waiting for Hoseok to be fully dilated first. Namjoon and Yoongi said that they were going to get the bags and find something for them to eat.

"I'm hungry," Hoseok said as he glanced over at Seokjin.

"Do you want me to get you something?" Seokjin asked.

Hoseok shook his head, "I just want to tell you... lay next to me Jin."

Seokjin did just that, he put an arm under Hoseok's head.

"Are you excited to see Minseok?" Hoseok asked his face in the crook of Seokjin's neck.

"Yeah."

Seokjin kissed the top of Hoseok's head.

Hoseok gripped onto the alpha's sweater, "Fuck." He muttered as he's contractions began once again. The older massaged Hoseok's side, trying his best to lessen the pain that the omega was going through.

"Do want me to say a poem? Pick a colour."

Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows but just went with it.

"Red."

Seokjin cleared his throat as he fixed his sitting position.

"My heart is red."

Hoseok burst out laughing at Seokjin's dramatic line he just said in English. The older had a hand on his chest acting as if he got stabbed in the chest.

"What does R stand for?"

"Revolution."

"E?"

"Evolution."

"D?"

"Drop in the ocean." The alpha said raising his eyebrows as he looked to the side as if he were in a drama.

Hoseok was laughing hard, so much so he couldn't feel the pain of his contractions.

"What the fuck was that Hyung?" Hoseok breathed as held his tummy.
Seokjin raised his eyebrows up and down and stuck out his tongue.

The laughter died after a few seconds.

Hoseok looked up at Seokjin who stared at him, the alpha smiled before leaving a kiss on Hoseok's nose. The omega blushed as he snuggled closer into Seokjin's chest.

"You two are cute together, you've always been."

Hoseok and Seokjin almost jumped out of their skin at Jiwoo's voice.

"Fuck- you scared me noona," Hoseok said as he placed a hand on his chest. Jiwoo laughed as she stepped into the room.

"Sorry, Hobi...Hi there." Jiwoo waved at Seokjin.

Seokjin waved back.

"Hoseokie!"

Jungkook waddled into the room, with a small bag.

"Joon couldn't handle the fact that his pup was with a potential 'threat'." Yoongi popped into the room, he greeted Jiwoo who gave him a small smile before her focus went to her little brother.

"How are you doing?"

Hoseok sighed, "I'm in pain...is mom and dad coming?"

Jiwoo nodded, "Dad wanted to kill Hanseul when he went to visit but you weren't there but now he is eager to meet Jin. Imagine the whiplash he'd get seeing Jin after 8 years."

"And mom?"

"She said that they were going to be delayed by traffic so they'd probably arrive after an hour and a half?"
Hoseok hummed softly

"The godfather of this baby has arrived." Hoseok chuckled at Taehyung who walked into the room, Jimin trailing behind him.

"I'm the godmother," Yoongi said, pridefully.

"Then that makes me the godfather."

Taehyung shook his head at Namjoon's words. "No, I claimed that spot when Minseok was nothing but a pea."

Seokjin and Hoseok were laughing at the beta and alpha who were playfully bickering.

"3seok." Jimin randomly spoke up.

"Huh?" Everyone faced the omega who giggled embarrassed by his random moment.

"Seokjin, Hoseok and Minseok. They all have 'Seok' in their names." Jimin explained. Hoseok and Seokjin made an 'oh' face, "I didn't even realise." The alpha said as looked down at Hoseok who nodded.

A few minutes passed with everyone talking, Taehyung and Jimin went out for fresh air while Namjoon took Jungkook out to the kiddies area. Yoongi and Jiwoo were the only ones who stayed back.

Hoseok's eyes opened wide, "Someone calls the doctor, I think it's time."
The two older omegas shot up from their seats and Seokjin got off the hospital bed.

Yoongi dashed out the door, Hoseok's sister stood on his left, holding his hand.

The omega was hyperventilating like crazy, "This hurts so fucking bad- I'm not ready."

"Hoseok, two breaths in and two out," Seokjin said calmly.

The younger did as Seokjin said.

Everything seemed to happen so quickly, that Hoseok kept passing out in between breaths which was scaring Seokjin.

The doctor arrived, followed by Hoseok's parents. The omega was sobbing as he mumbled absolute nonsense when he saw his mom and dad stand next to him.  Soon the room was full, Taehyung and Jimin quickly made their way to the room and Namjoon stood outside the door with a sleeping Jungkook in his arms. Hoseok held onto the only two alphas in the room: Seokjin and his dad.

"Okay... I'm going to ask you to give me a strong push."

"You're doing well, Hobi," Seokjin muttered against Hoseok's forehead, the omega closed his eyes shut.

It was chaos, Hoseok at one point cussed out the doctor for having such an annoying voice. "Can you fucking shut up, your voice is fucking annoying- I'm sorry- Ow!"

"I can see a head...push."

A few pushes and curse words later, a small cry broke out.

Hoseok thumped against the bed, his breathing uneasy.

"You did it Hobi," Seokjin whispered, kissing the omega's sweaty, flushed face.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Hoseok felt his heart drop when the doctor told him Minseok was having breathing difficulties and needed to be taken to the NICU.

Seokjin felt his heart break as he watched Hoseok cry. The younger seemed so broken, he was holding onto any shimmering piece of hope thrown his way.

"I-I'm scared hyung."

Seokjin held the omega close, "Don't be, Minseok will be fine. She's a strong girl."

Seokjin was scared as much as Hoseok, even though he wasn't showing it much.
The way the roles switched, Hoseok was usually the one to comfort him but now he was doing that. When Hoseok's parents left, Hoseok's dad called him to the side.

"I know my son is in good hands with you, Jin."

The young alpha felt proud, he was doing a good job.

°

°

°
Seokjin had never felt as humiliated as he did just then.

He should have known that a cheerleader asking him out to prom was too good to be true.

"You'd think I'd go out you?! Never in a million years geek. I wonder what Hoseok sees in you."

The girl walked into the prom venue with one of the jocks. The young alpha walked away, the rain pouring hard, he felt defeated and...

"Jin-hyung, where are you going?"

Seokjin turned around to see Hoseok standing behind him with an umbrella. The omega looked breathtaking in his prom outfit, green was his colour.

"Jinnie you're getting wet," Hoseok said as he pulled the older under the abandoned gazebo. Seokjin stared at the omega in front of him. Hoseok was popular, he was  friendly  and more importantly beautiful.

"Why me Hoseok?" He blurted out.

The younger looked taken aback but composed himself, "You're my other half. My moon."

The omega wiped the alpha's face with the  handkerchief  he had. Seokjin was silently crying while Hoseok wiped his face. The omega giggled at him, poking his red nose. "You're cute."

"You have a big heart and people don't see that," Hoseok said as hugged the scrawny, tall alpha. Seokjin hid his face in the crook of Hoseok's neck.

Hoseok gave the cheerleader a piece of his mind before they left.

"You're just a sad excuse of a human, seeing other people humiliated and put down makes you happy. Don't even think of coming to cheer practice. Let's go Jin." The omega let out a small ' hm ' as he dragged the alpha away, in front of the school.

°

°

°

Seokjin stood outside the NICU, he quickly identified his pup. There Minseok was, her chest heaving as she breathed. She was fast asleep.

"Hey, little one."

Minseok's finger twitched a little, a small yawn leaving her mouth.

"You look just like your mom." He said, tapping his finger against the glass.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

The alpha slowly guided the omega into the NICU, his hand on the small of his back.

The doctor had come into the room and told them that they could see Minseok now. Hoseok immediately jumped out of the hospital bed almost falling onto the floor face first if it wasn't for Seokjin holding.

Seokjin looked to the side where Yoongi, Jimin, Namjoon, Taehyung, Jiwoo and Hoseok's parents stood, the glass keeping them from being in the room.

"S-she's so sm-small."

Hoseok sniffled as he looked down at the pup. Seokjin fixed the hospital gown, the gown was slipping off his (Hoseok's) shoulders.

"You can hold her." The nurse said as she opened the incubator. The omega wiped his eyes, as he slowly lifted the newborn into his arms.

Hoseok cried quietly, softly pressing his nose against Minseok's.

"I love you so-so much." He muttered.

Seokjin smiled as he watched his boyfriend and pup. He quickly wiped the tear that threatened to fall out but that didn't go unnoticed by the rest of the others on the other side of the glass.

"He's crying! Look, look." Jimin said as he pointed at his cousin.

The alpha blushed, embarrassed.

"Skin-to-skin is the best way to familiarise yourself with her." The nurse said as she removed the tag around Minseok's wrist.

Seokjin nodded, he looked down at Hoseok who muttered small 'I love you'(s) to the pup.

"I told you she's a strong girl, just like you." Seokjin kissed Hoseok's head.

The omega nodded, sniffling.

- -

Seokjin and Hoseok were listening to everyone who was gushing over their sleeping newborn.

Hoseok felt Seokjin's hand crawl up his t-shirt.

"What are you doing hyung?" He whispered.

"Intrusive thoughts." The alpha mumbled.

Hoseok let the older be, so here he was listening to his friends and family gush over his pup while his boyfriend had his hand on his swollen chest.

Namjoon, Yoongi, Jungkook, Taehyung and Jimin left the hospital after staying at the hospital for a few hours.

Hoseok said bye to his sister who had to rush back home to her husband and kids, so it was just Hoseok's parents and Seokjin left.

"So who is he, Seok." Hoseok's dad, Daewoo, spoke up.

"Remember Seokjin?"

Daewoo nodded his head.

"Yeah, that's him."

Hoseok's dad furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Seokjin who smiled awkwardly.

"That's him? He used to be so scrawny and would wear those huge-..." Hoseok's mother, Hyeon hit the back of her husband's head.

"You've grown up Jin-ah."

Hoseok fell asleep shortly after, he was exhausted. Seokjin spent his time chit-chatting with Hyeon while Daewoo played with his granddaughter.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

It was dark outside when Hoseok's parents left.

"Who knew that fatherhood could make someone look so attractive," Hoseok said as watched Seokjin walk around the room with Minseok on his bare chest.

The alpha chuckled softly, "Do I look attractive?"

Hoseok sat up, nodding his head.

Seokjin shook his head, "You're something aren't you?"

"I'm still adjusting to my current state, without Minseok in my tummy. My hormones are all over the place baby." Hoseok winked at the alpha.

Seokjin laughed once again.

Seokjin shortly put the newborn back into the incubator next to Hoseok. The omega smiled when Minseok held his finger but his smile grew even bigger when he felt Seokjin's arms snake around him.

"I'm going to miss your baby bump not going to lie." The alpha mumbled into Hoseok's hair.

"Me too but it was starting to hurt my back," Hoseok said, gently unwrapping the sleeping pup's hand from his finger.
The omega turned around, putting his arms around the older's torso. The alpha pulled Hoseok closer, letting the omega put a leg over him.

"I can't wait to start a new chapter of my life with you Hoseok."

Hoseok smiled, placing a small kiss on Seokjin's lips, "Me too Jin."

Seokjin and Hoseok were woken up by Minseok who burst out into tears.

Chapter Text

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Hoseok was finally discharged from the hospital after a few more days but while he was still in the hospital he received a heap of gifts from Seokjin's teammates and coaches plus a few from his colleagues and students' parents. Hoseok's parents took Mickey with them so they didn't have too many things to do cause having a newborn and an energetic puppy was chaos.

The pup was bubbly, a literal carbon copy of her mom.

Seokjin was attached to Minseok, making sure he was the first one the girl saw when she opened her eyes to have her strapped to his chest during the day.  Hoseok found this endearing, he couldn't even count the number of pictures he had on his phone of Seokjin and Minseok on the first week.

"She must have been so hungry."

Currently, Hoseok was breastfeeding Minseok while Seokjin cleaned up the house.

The omega wiped the baby's mouth.

Minseok yawned, stretching her little arms. Hoseok held her up and patted her back before she let out a small burp.
The omega immediately cradled the pup, watching as his mini him slowly fell asleep.

"She's so cute," Seokjin said as loomed over the two. He squatted down in front of them and held the girl's little hand which was in a fist. The alpha planted a kiss on her fist.

"You're my little princess and I'm going to spoil you."

Hoseok scrunched his nose, his scent slightly bittering at the alpha's words.

"I don't want her to be spoilt."

"I understand your point but she's my first pup and how am I not supposed to spoil her."

The older said as softly nuzzled his nose against the pup's cheek. Hoseok just shook his head, a fond smile on his face.

Minseok wrapped her tiny hand around Seokjin's index finger, gripping it as if it would disappear.

"It still feels like a fever dream. I never thought I'd be here being such a dad, meeting you again and you accepting my courtship."

"But do you enjoy it?"

Seokjin looked up at Hoseok, the omega looked worried, his eyes were pleading for some reason, a good reason. There was a spike in Hoseok's scent causing Minseok to move around in his arms.

"I do. I love every single moment I spend with you, you changed me and now look at me! I'm way better than I was a few months ago before you showed up at the doorstep."

Hoseok lowered his head, rocking Minseok lightly. For some reason, Hoseok felt like he had robbed the alpha of a chance to find a mate. Seokjin chose him while he could have picked any other omega.

"I-I feel like I r-ruined-..."

Hoseok was immediately shushed by Seokjin who put a friend to his mouth. "Don't say it. Seok do know how miserable I was, I was practically a zombie. You didn't ruin anything and don't ever think like that."

They shortly put Minseok to bed, making sure she was comfortable in her cot.

Hoseok felt Seokjin's arms snake around his waist. He brought his hands and placed them over the older's, leaning his head back on Seokjin's shoulder.

"I'm so lucky to have you in my life."

The alpha muttered as he kissed the omega's shoulder. Hoseok's face went red, he let out a small embarrassed whine. Seokjin's lips travelled up to the younger's jaw.

"Is it ok for me to..."

Hoseok didn't let Seokjin finish, he nodded furiously. Hoseok let out a quiet gasp as he felt Seokjin suckling on the skin behind his ear he felt the older's hands massage his hips.

"Gosh." Hoseok breathed, literally melting in the older's arms. His body was still adjusting to not having a pup inside his womb, so everything he felt multiplied by 100.

"I can't believe you're mine," Seokjin mumbled as he slowly moved his hands up Hoseok's tummy.

It was just them.

The omega turned around, lifting his arms to the alpha's neck, "I'm yours, only yours Jin-ah." He muttered, his slim and dainty fingers running through Seokjin's black locks.

Seokjin's lips were slightly parted as if he wanted to say something but nothing seemed to come out. Hoseok's lips turned upward, a small smirk gracing his face.

Hoseok knew the effect he had on the older. "You're such a pretty alpha, Jin. I'm so, so lucky to have you as my alpha." Seokjin's grip on the younger's small, dainty waist tightened. Hoseok was driving him crazy, he was driving his alpha crazy.

"Please say that again." He rasped

Hoseok chuckled softly as he leaned over Seokjin's ear, "My alpha."

Hoseok smiled to himself as Seokjin carried him to their bedroom, the alpha's hands roaming all over his body.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Hoseok woke up to himself in Seokjin's hockey jersey. He smiled sleepily as he remembered what happened last night.

Hoseok had never felt so good in his life. Gosh, if he knew how sex with Seokjin felt when they were in high school, he'd probably be addicted to it.

The hickeys on both of them and the nail marks on Seokjin's board back were evidence of how good he felt.
The alpha was SO much better than his ex, he was a muttering mess within a few minutes.

And overall the alpha was respectful. "You can have me but not take me." Hoseok had told the older who immediately understood.

Most alphas are more focused on themselves during sex and just want to pleasure themselves without thinking about the person they're getting intimate with, so it's either the person is left hurt or not satisfied.

But the omega didn't have the words to describe how he felt. He'd do anything to experience that again but for now...

"Is Mommy awake?" He looked to the door of the room to see Seokjin with Minseok strapped to his chest, they looked like they went out. 'There's something about men and babies.' he thought.

"I'm awake. Hi baby!" He said as he waved at Minseok.

"She was awake, so I took her out for a bit." The alpha said as he sat down next to Hoseok. "Thank you hyung," said the omega as he sat up.

Minseok grunted as her little, chubby hands reached out for her mother. "Sorry Minnie, let me just undo...there!" Seokjin handed Minseok over to Hoseok.

The pup latched onto Hoseok, and let out little whines. "I think she's hungry." Hoseok and Seokjin muttered in unison. The omega lifted his shirt and lifted the pup who latched her mouth around his nipple.

"I-I'm going to get the food from the kitchen," Seokjin mumbled as he quickly exited the room. Hoseok chuckled at the older, he was flustered about what happened last night, even if it was supposed to be the way around.

"Your daddy is so cute, Seokie." He said as he breastfed the pup.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"You're glowing."

Yoongi and Hoseok were setting up Jungkook's birthday party.

Hoseok blushed as he tied a knot on the balloon he blew up. "I'm just happy."

"That's not happiness, it's more than just that. I know that look anywhere, so how was it?" The older omega asked as he took the balloon from Hoseok.

"Mind-blowing."

"Oh- in a good way or a bad way?"

"Good."

Yoongi and Hoseok giggled, "It feels nice talking to someone who understands me."

"Mama!" Yoongi and Hoseok's attention was diverted to the pup who ran to them with a tear-stained face and a pout.

"What's wrong baby?"

Jungkook hid his face in Yoongi's tummy, his little hands gripping his mother's t-shirt. Hoseok observed how naturally Yoongi began to calm the pup down, his tangerine scent feeling the room.

"Min-min."

Yoongi let out a sigh of relief as he hoisted the pup into his arms, "Who's Min-min?"

"The pup Namjoon was beefing with- Mingyu and his parents are probably just running late Kookie." The omega said as he kissed Jungkook's puffed-out cheek.

"He's already experiencing boy problems at his young age," Hoseok commented.

"Getting his little heart broken by boys," Yoongi added.

Jungkook sniffled as he glanced between his mother and Hoseok, "Br'ken?"

"Yes Kook, boys are no good and get even worse as they grow up."

"Don't trust men." Hoseok and Yoongi said in unison, the pup blinked before turning his attention to something else in the room.

- -

The two families were having fun celebrating Jungkook's birthday, especially Jungkook who was playing with his best friend.

The pup had gotten a lot of presents, especially from Jimin and Taehyung.

Hoseok was enjoying himself, even though he was sitting half of the time with Minseok but it was worth it once he saw Seokjin's smile.

And at some point during the party a very young beta arrived, he was no older than 19. He was Namjoon and Seokjin's nephew, his name was Hongjoong, and Hoseok couldn't help but feel attached to the younger.

But the happy and cheerful mood shifted when Namjoon brought up Chuseok.

Yoongi's smile faltered, Seokjin and Jimin looked annoyed and Hongjoong seemed uncomfortable.

"Let's just take a flight Gwangju and then we'll meet them at the resort the next day. Sounds like a plan?" Namjoon looked around.

"Joon-samchon, can we bring a plus one?" Hongjoong asked, spinning Jungkook around.

"Sure, who is it?"

"One of my friends from uni," the young beta said.

"Okay. So it's a flight to Gwangju and then we meet up with the rest of the family."

- -

Hoseok climbed into bed and almost immediately Seokjin pulled him into his arms.

"Did you have fun today?" Seokjin asked. Hoseok nodded, wrapping his arms around the older's torso.

"I seated most of the time but yeah."

The couple cuddled together, nothing but small whispers, smiles and touches were exchanged. It was just them now, no pup, no problem, just them.

"Why does everyone seem so gloomy or down every time your mother or Chuseok is brought up, especially Yoongi?" Hoseok asked, his voice was soft, he didn't want to annoy the older.

Seokjin's lips curled into a small frown, "I have told you why I don't have the best relationship with my mom but everyone had their reasons."
The alpha paused, glancing at his omega who beckoned him to continue.

"She's like the head omega, her word in everything matters. So when Jimin didn't come home with an alpha, she didn't approve of his relationship. Namjoon is the only one who has the most healthy relationship with Mom."

"How about Yoongi Hyung?" Hoseok asked, snuggling closer to the alpha.

"I don't know. He never really spoken about it to anyone."

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Chapter Text

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Seokjin was envied by most of the young alphas at his high school. He got to lay in Hoseok's nest without a problem, he was the only one allowed to scent the pretty omega and the only alpha Hoseok hung around.

Seokjin considered himself a lucky person, a pretty omega hanging around him. He was a lucky guy.

Hoseok would drag the older to the parties he was invited to, Seokjin knew the people there didn't like that he was there but Hoseok didn't care.

The alphas around them wouldn't give in to the possibility that Seokjin could be dating Hoseok. "Hoseok is way out of his league, he doesn't have it in him to be a good alpha for Hoseok." Quote on a quote by one of the football jocks on the school's football team.

Let's just say Hoseok heard about the conversation and the jock was left with a handprint on his face.

"Don't you even dare think we have a possibility of dating, stupid knothead? You're an ass for thinking you're good enough for me." Hoseok held Seokjin's arm. The omega kicked his leg one more time before walking off, dragging the older boy with him.

Seokjin had questioned Hoseok's friendship especially since they reached high school. It wasn't very typical for an omega to hang out with someone who couldn't defend himself for shit because the typical omega wanted someone who could protect them.

Hoseok wasn't a typical omega.

"You're a good alpha Jinnie, not a knothead," Hoseok said as he cuddled into the older's side.

°

°

Seokjin stared at Hoseok who ate his food, there was ketchup on his cheek but in his eyes, the younger was the most beautiful human he'd seen.

"I'm so lucky to have you in my life." The words slipped from his mouth as he wiped the ketchup off his face.

Hoseok's face turned red as covered his mouth, "How can you say that so casually?"

Seokjin shrugged as lowered the mask on his face, "Can I just appreciate the gift the universe has given me?"

Hoseok's face was redder than a ripe tomato, and he sunk into his seat. "It's way too early for this hyung." Seokjin smiled when he smelt Hoseok's scent.

"You should be more like your brother, Joon," Yoongi said as he hit the alpha's back. Namjoon looked at his mate, "I'm so grateful that you threatened to kill me with chopsticks when we first met."

Yoongi clicked his tongue as he flicked his mate's forehead.

"Did you threaten him Hyung?" Hoseok asked as looked at the older omega who shrugged his shoulders.

"We had to share a dorm room during our trainee days, so I had to set a boundary." Yoongi admittedly said.

"Seokjin panicked when we had to share a hotel room when we went on a field trip in high school," Hoseok said.

"How was I supposed to react when I'm sharing a room with an omega who loves to tease you about everything? Plus I could have popped a..." Seokjin closed his mouth as he stared at Hoseok's face which had a cheeky grin.

"You would have popped a boner because of me?"

The alpha, embarrassed, sunk into his seat. "A total knothead." Yoongi snickered as he wiped Jungkook's face.

"Hyung, didn't you have one of Hobi Hyung's t-shirts in..." Namjoon was cut off by Seokjin elbowing him in the stomach, he mumbled a few curse words as he groaned.

"Shut it before I castrate you myself," Seokjin mumbled.

"Bad 'ord," Jungkook managed to say, despite his cheeks being full of food.

"Good boy Kim Jungkook," Yoongi said as ruffled the pup's head.

Hoseok giggled at the commotion but it didn't delude him from the fact Seokjin's hand was on his.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Seokjin, Namjoon and Yoongi didn't expect to see a swarm of paparazzi waiting for them at the entrance of the airport.

The two small families stayed inside their respective cars as they thought of a way to meet up at the flight gates.

"This is going to be tough," Seokjin muttered under his breath as he strapped the sleeping pup to his chest. Hoseok grabbed a mask from the box of masks in the car's compartment.

"Are you ready?"

Hoseok nodded as he held Minseok's baby bag.

Seokjin got out of the car, quickly going to get the suitcases from the boot. Hoseok waited, slipping his hands into his hoodie pockets.

"Stay near me, okay?" Seokjin pecked Hoseok's lips. "Yeah," Hoseok said as he reached out for the suitcases.

They pushed through the crowd of reporters and fans. Seokjin covered Minseok's face while holding her head. Hoseok stayed near Seokjin, holding onto his arm.

"Ow!" Hoseok jumped at someone who grabbed his wrist. "What's wrong Hobi?" The alpha asked as put an arm around Hoseok's shoulders. The omega looked around, "Someone grabbed me."

The alpha's scent turned bitter, he smelt like burnt leather and rotten coconut. The omega shudders a little, this wasn't Seokjin's regular calming scent, it was more territorial.

He was getting angry, he was threatening for someone to step forward. Reporters and fans seemingly got the hint. They back up, only taking photos from the distance.

Hoseok felt Seokjin's arm move from his shoulders to his waist, the alpha lightly pushed him, beckoning for him to move.

Even though Seokjin was still radiating angry alpha pheromones, he was still gentle with Hoseok and Minseok.

Soon the airport security guided them to the more secluded area of the airport, there were only a few people. They took photos in the distance but it bothered Seokjin, unlike the fans and paparazzi.

"I'm sorry if I scared you. I just wanted you and Minseok to be okay." Seokjin mumbled as he looked at the ground.

Hoseok moved his hand to intertwine them with the older's, "I wasn't scared, just worried about you. You probably felt so much pressure since you're holding Minnie and were trying to hurt or let her get hurt in the process."

The omega moved a little closer to the alpha, nuzzling his face in the crook of Seokjin's neck. He scented the older before moving to face the older whose face was beet red.

Hoseok giggled at him, "You are easy to fluster Jin-ah."

The alpha and omega were brought out of their little world when they heard Minseok let out grunts as she moved her legs.

"Okay, okay. I'll give you your mom." Seokjin undid the buckle of the baby carrier.

Hoseok carefully held Minseok in his arms, "Did you miss mommy? Well, Mommy missed you, my little muffin." Hoseok kissed the pup's chubby cheeks. Minseok gurgled as she kicked her little legs around.

"There they are!" Yoongi's voice could be heard in the background.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"That mob of paparazzi was random," Namjoon said as he rolled his suitcase and his mates. Seokjin nodded as he did the same with his and Hoseok's suitcase.

"Maybe someone could have tipped them off," Seokjin suggested. Namjoon glanced over at Yoongi who was holding Jungkook who sniffling as he held onto his mother, gripping his t-shirt.

Jungkook was very easy to upset. The pup burst into tears as they passed through the crowd of reporters fans and paparazzi. It was upsetting how people didn't give a shit about how Yoongi had his pup in his arms. All they cared about was pictures and autographs.

"I'd beat up one of those reporters," Namjoon mumbled. Seokjin nodded, "For once, I agree with you."

They shortly boarded the flight, they found Hongjoong fast asleep in his seat with a blonde boy holding him.

"Who are you?" Seokjin asked as he stared the dorky-looking boy down. The boy awkwardly shifted in his seat, he kept his arm under the sleeping beta's head.

"I-I'm Mingi, Hongjoong's friend." The boy- Mingi introduced himself.
Hoseok and Yoongi chuckled at how cute the boy was.

Soon it was time for the flight to go, Hoseok and Seokjin were trying to entertain Minseok who smiled at them, drool dripping from her mouth.

"My grandparents are going to love her," Seokjin said as he wiped the drool from her cheek.

"She's too cute not to be loved," Hoseok commented as he bounced the newborn in his arms. Seokjin smiled as he watched Minseok and Hoseok, these were the two beckons of hope in his life. If something were to happen to them, he'd possibly spiral into the deep hole of depression that he was pretty familiar with.

The smile on his face wilted a little.

This was just the calm before the storm. His face was probably plastered on every news channel with the possible headline: Famous hockey player, Kim Seokjin has a secret family! or something along those lines.

His mom probably saw the news. He prayed that she wouldn't do anything that would make his omega uncomfortable or unwelcome and Minseok? His mother would give him a disappointed look, something he was very familiar with. He didn't care if the pup wasn't his by blood, she was still his daughter.

Seokjin was going to do his best to make sure that his mother wouldn't ruin his first Chuseok in 4 years.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"So how is Chuseok normally?" Hoseok asked as he brought his legs to his chest.

Sitting in first class helps a lot, Minseok and Seokjin were fast asleep on one of the seats that could be pushed back and used as a bed.

"It's okay. I just stay clear from their aunts and mother," Yoongi said, tying his hair up into a bun. Hoseok could see his mate's mark peeking out of his sweater.

"Why is that Hyung?" The younger omega was curious. Yoongi stood up from his seat and say next to the younger.

Yoongi sighed, "Their family is quite similar to a pack, and if someone new joins you're bound to feel unwelcome."
The older omega cuddled up next to the younger who was snuggled into his side.

Two omegas cuddling wasn't something new. It was a way of showing comfort and Hoseok was doing just that. Hoseok smiled as the older ran his fingers through his hair.

"You'd a great nest mate not going to lie." He muttered.

"Yeah?" Yoongi chuckled lightly.

The two omegas sat in silence, the sound of the aeroplane engine in the background.

"Hyung, sometimes I feel like I ruined Seokjin's chances of getting a mate. Like-like-..."

"You didn't ruin any chances. I've known Jin for a while now and you coming back into his life was for the best. He was slowly spiralling back into his old depressive state." Yoongi said.

Hoseok's eyes fluttered open, "Depression?"

Yoongi simply nodded, "He was so... distant. He stayed with us for a year, going to therapy whilst being busy with hockey. He needed something to hold onto and hockey was just that."

The younger was shocked, Seokjin had been through so much.

"That's why he'd us every day and if not, me and Joon would appear at his place but now we don't have to worry because he has you." Yoongi's eyes met with Hoseok's.

"You're his hope."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"Rise and shine, sunshine."

Hoseok opened his eyes to see Seokjin, his messy bed hair, eyes dissolved into crescents and his plump lips curled into a smile. He was so pretty, he has always been pretty.

"You're so pretty." Hoseok blurted out. Seokjin's face flushed red at the compliment. Hoseok did that, he did that.

"Thank you... we've landed Seok." The alpha mumbled as he looked to the side.

They packed their stuff up, the two alphas doing a quick road call before they got off the plane.

Hoseok and Yoongi were the first to walk through the airport because they had the pups with them, walking fast enough to avoid the paparazzi. Namjoon and Seokjin made their way into the airport right after, making their way through the crowd, only that this time it was less chaotic than first.

Hongjoong and Mingi easily made it through.

Two SUVs waited for them, one presumably for their luggage and the other for them to be driven to the hotel.

"I feel like I'm going to throw up," Yoongi said as he rolled down the car window. "Maybe it's because of something you ate babe?" Namjoon said as glanced back at Yoongi.

"Maybe." The omega said as he leaned back. Hoseok shuffled in his seat, shimmying closer to the older omega.

Yoongi was comforting and Hoseok felt relaxed around him. The older would be a great alpha but at the same time, he'd also be a great omega because of his comforting and silent but nurturing nature.

"Minnie," Jungkook said as he pointed at the dorky-looking alpha next to Hongjoong. Mingi had fallen asleep on his shoulder since he was awake the entire flight.

"Yes, that's Minnie, Kookie." The beta said as he poked Mingi's cheek, making him scrunch his nose. "He's cute when sleeping, don't you think so Kook?"

"Cu'e!" The pup clapped his hands together.

They arrived at the hotel, and outside the hotel stood Taehyung and Jimin who were waiting.

"She is so cute. Hey Minnie." Taehyung said as he looked down at the sleeping pup in Hoseok's arms.

"Yes?"

Hoseok and Taehyung laughed at Jimin and Mingi who whipped their heads around. The group entered the hotel and received their respective room keys.

"I'm so tired, aren't you Minseok?" Seokjin turned his head to face the baby who was staring back at him.

Minseok's little hand grabbed a fistful of Seokjin's hair. The pup tugged on it making her dad wince in pain.

"You're hurting me, Minnie." Seokjin faked and cried as he pried his hair from the girl's hand. Minseok kicked her legs as she whimpered, she was going to cry.

Seokjin picked up the pup, supporting her head. "Minseok you can't grab your dad's hair, it hurts." The alpha said as he placed the pup on his chest, who immediately stopped whimpering.
Minseok latched onto him, gripping onto his t-shirt.

"You're so pretty, just like your mom," he kissed his daughter's head. Minseok snuggled into his chest.

Minseok fell asleep after a few minutes, Seokjin laid her in the portable baby crib. The pup looked so peaceful.

"You're good at this dad stuff." Seokjin turned around, Hoseok was leaning by the bathroom door, his bathrobe wrapped around him.

"I'm just going with the flow," Seokjin said, his eyes trailing Hoseok's body. He licked his lips.

"Okay Mr-I'm-just-going-with-the-flow, will you join me in the bath?" The omega asked, grinning. Seokjin stood up from the bed, taking his t-shirt off, "I will." He dropped the T-shirt to the floor.

Hoseok smiled as he walked back into the bathroom.

"If you do not hear in 3 seconds-..."

Seokjin didn't even listen to rest, he rapidly undressed himself before speed walking into the bathroom.

- -

Hoseok leaned against the alpha's chest, he watched as the bubbles moved around. He felt at peace.

The omega furrowed his eyebrows at Seokjin's right arm. There were scars, they looked old but still. Hoseok thought back to the conversation he and Yoongi back on the plane.

Hoseok intertwined his hand with the older's hand, bringing it out of the water. Seokjin sighed as shuffled behind the omega, "It was about time you noticed."

"Do you want to speak about it?" Hoseok asked, tilting his head up to meet the alpha's eyes.

The older was hesitant but it was Hoseok, his boyfriend, to was his mate and most importantly his best friend.

"I was going through a phase. I felt like I had nothing to live for, I felt like a failure I guess I could use that word to describe how felt. There was a heavy weight on my shoulders that I couldn't get rid of and it drove me to become distant with the people around me.

I became somewhat suicidal, I resorted to cutting myself and it was okay until I cut too deep and passed out on the bathroom floor..." Seokjin paused when he heard a quiet sniffle come from Hoseok.

"...Namjoon had found me and rushed me to the hospital-...

"-you ended up staying with Yoongi and Namjoon for a while?" Hoseok's fingers grazed over the faded scars.

"Yeah- did Yoongi tell you the story?"

Hoseok nodded, "We had some sort of a vent session if I can call it that." Seokjin hummed softly, his face might look calm but his heart was banging hard against his chest. Hoseok could feel it too.

He didn't know how he was feeling, it felt like he was exposed (despite him being naked in a bathtub with Hoseok). He didn't know what was this feeling but Hoseok knew.

Vulnerability.

The omega let his scent flow through the bathroom, it smelt like freshly harvested strawberries and raw cookie dough, it was relaxing.

"Thank you for telling me, Jin-ah," Hoseok said as he brought his free hand up to  Seokjin's wet hair, running his fingers through it. The alpha relaxed immediately.

It was Hoseok, his boyfriend, his mate and most importantly his best friend.

- -

"Hyung! That's ticklish," Hoseok hit the alpha's chest. Seokjin chuckled as he continued to slide his hands up Hoseok's t-shirt.

"Just give it up, we'll be extra quiet." The older lowered his head down to the omega's neck, he lightly nipped at the skin.

"No Jin-..."

Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows, there was some commotion coming from the room next to them.

"What's wrong Hobi?" Seokjin asked, sensing something was off.

"Do you hear that?"

Seokjin furrowed his eyebrows at the sound of someone banging something on the wall. The alpha and omega continued to wonder what the hell was going on in the next room.

They got up from the bed and made their way to the door, when opening it they were met with Namjoon and Yoongi who were also checking out the origin of the noise.

"It's coming from Joong's room," Namjoon muttered as he pointed at the door in front of them. "What could those two be doing?" Hoseok asked.

"Fuck! Don't stop."

That was Hongjoong's voice, and that was him moaning.

Their eyes grew wide in realisation. "No way they are fucking." Seokjin whispered.

"Who do you think is the bottom?" Yoongi asked, looking at Hoseok.

"Hongjoong. Dorky-ier looks makes up for their huge package." Hoseok said, the two omegas glanced over at the two alphas who stared back at them with curious eyes.

The two just sighed, "Bluntly as a pencil." Hoseok muttered.

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Breakfast was awkward.

Seokjin, Hoseok, Yoongi and Namjoon hadn't forgotten what happened yesterday and Taehyung and Jimin were oblivious to everything because their hotel suite was across the hall.

Mingi and Hongjoong awkwardly sat by the table. The young alpha was wearing his thick glasses but that didn't change what they did yesterday.

"The dorky-ier the appearance, the bigger the package." Quote from Jung Hoseok.

The beta was wearing a huge sweater which covered his neck, probably hiding the hickeys on his neck.

"Owie?" Jungkook tilted his head as he pointed at the scratch marks on Mingi's bicep.

"No, I just scratch myself a little too much," Mingi said, giving the pup a small piece of his pancake.

Hoseok noticed how Hongjoong stared at Mingi. His eyes were filled with love.
Hoseok smiled at the sight.

"So, was there protection involved?" Yoongi spoke up, leaning back.

Hongjoong choked on his sandwich and Mingi's face turned red.

"Oh, so there wasn't protection?" Namjoon added on. The young beta flushed as he hid his face in the sweater he was wearing.

"Why would you ask such a question, samchon?" Hongjoong muttered. Yoongi and Namjoon shrugged their shoulders, "I just want to know."

Hoseok shook his head, Namjoon and Yoongi were honestly soulmates.

- -

"Who's a clean baby? Who's a clean baby? You are, yes, you are!"
Hoseok said as blew roses into Minseok's tummy, the pup's little feet kicked around. She had a little crooked smile.

Hoseok applied some lotion on Minseok who just stared at him, her legs moving around. He put her diaper on, patting her bum which made her coo. Hoseok laughed at her, "You're something aren't you Minnie?"

Hoseok wiped his hands, "My little girl, let's see what your dad put out for you to wear?" The mother picked up the baby, resting her head on his shoulder.

The omega looked at the clothes on the bed, "I was scared for a moment, I thought you were going to wear a pink frilly dress for a second." Hoseok said, bouncing Minseok in his arms.

The younger heard a scoff coming from the bathroom.

Minseok was pretty easy to get dressed, she just stared at her mom, only letting out small puffs of air.

"You're so pretty, Seokie," Hoseok said as he kissed Minseok's chubby cheeks.
He carefully picked the pup up, covering her with a fluffy white baby blanket.

The omega walked out of the room, he saw Seokjin hunched over the baby stroller.

"You're done setting it up?"

Seokjin nodded as he stood upright, "I was just tightening the screws."

He walked over to Hoseok, "Is she sleeping?"

"I don't think so."

"Are you sleeping, Minnie?" Seokjin said as he lifted the blanket. Minseok gurgled, kicking her legs.

"You're happy to see your dad aren't you, aren't you!" Seokjin tickled the bottoms of Minseok's feet, making her kick her legs a bit more.

Hoseok smiled at the dad and daughter duo, "Let's get going before Namjoon gives us a mouthful for being late."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Hoseok felt a sense of nostalgia surge through his body as they drove through the familiar town, it hadn't changed that much and the chilly weather was adding to the nostalgia he felt.

"You see Minnie this is your mommy's old home." Hoseok held the pup to the window.

Minseok placed her hand on the window, attempting to grab the trees or people they passed by. Hoseok cooed at his daughter.

"She is full of energy today," Seokjin said as he gently poked at Minseok's side. "She slept for a whole 2 hours, I was worried." Hoseok lightly chuckled. The omega brought the pup to his chest, cradling her.

"I'm shocked you didn't overdress her."

Seokjin shrugged his shoulders with a small smile creeping up onto his face, "I'm saving my overdressing privileges. Wait till you see the hanbok I had made for her."

Hoseok let out a slightly frustrated sigh, "I told you not to spend so much on things she's going to wear once." He said, fixing the button of Minseok's jumper.

"I was just carried away, I'm sorry."

Hoseok could hear the pout in his voice, he watched as Minseok reached out for Seokjin, her lips curling into a small triangle pout, similar to his.

Hoseok sighed, it was impossible to be upset with Seokjin.

"I can't be upset with you even if I tried."

The alpha's pout was immediately replaced with a smile.

The ride to Seokjin and Namjoon's parents' house was quick, much to Yoongi's and Jimin's dismay. Hoseok could not help but notice how much bigger the house had gotten. Before there used to be two houses next to it but now there was just one huge one.

Hoseok felt nervous as the car came to a stop. He glanced around the semi-empty van, the only people left were him and Yoongi and the older omega seemingly looked as nervous as he was.

"I don't want to go but I'm doing it for Joon." Hoseok stared at the older who spoke up.

Yoongi beckoned for him to come closer. The younger omega made his way to the older, holding his pup to his chest.
He immediately snuggled into Yoongi's side, and let Minseok's head rest against his chest.

"I don't want to go inside, I'm nervous about what they would think of me," Hoseok muttered.

Yoongi hummed, he lightly traced his finger against Minseok's cheek. The pup wrapped her finger around his finger.

"Just be strong, don't let their words get to you," Yoongi said, using his free hand to scent Hoseok. The omegas sat in silence aside from Minseok's cooing noises and grunts.

"I'm going to cling to you the entire time," Hoseok muttered. Yoongi scoffed, looking down at Hoseok, "You wouldn't want to do that. Kyung-hee would start to pick on you too."

"I'm strong enough to handle that. Plus why would she nitpick at us? She is almost 3 decades older than us." Yoongi snorted.

"I feel like we're like those two omega-in-laws that gossip about their mean mother-in-law."

"Well, that's a basic explanation of us and what we are doing," Hoseok said.

The two omegas turned their heads at the sound of the van door opening, it was Namjoon with Jungkook in his arms.

"We're done setting up the stroller and taking out the luggage," Namjoon said.

Hoseok felt the tension in the air, Yoongi looked somewhat annoyed and Namjoon's eyes were pleading for forgiveness. Did they argue?

"I'll go now, Kookie do you want to come with me and Minnie?" Hoseok asked as he stepped out of the van. Jungkook nodded and kicked his legs around, "Puh' down, Daddy."

Namjoon put the pup down, "Hold Hoseok's hand."

Jungkook did so, "Bye, Bye!" He said as he waved his free hand at his parents. Hoseok smiled as he walked off with Jungkook and Minseok in hand.

"Jinnie." Jungkook hugged the alpha's leg.

Hoseok smiled as he covered Minseok's ears, so the chilly air doesn't make her feel cold.

"They probably going to be at it for a while," Hoseok announced. He placed Minseok in the stroller, the pup was about to whine but stopped once a familiar alpaca plushie, that had a red scarf around its neck, was placed next to her.

"I knew that the plushie would come in handy," Seokjin said as he covered the baby girl with her blanket.

Hoseok hummed as he buttoned up his jersey, he wasn't paying attention to what Seokjin was saying. He was just nervous.

The omega yelped a little louder than necessary when an arm wrapped around his shoulders.

"I didn't mean to startle you Hoba but you seem so out of it, which isn't like you," Seokjin said, moving behind the younger and massaged Hoseok's shoulders.

"Oh- I'm just a little nervous." Hoseok admittedly said, leaning into the alpha's touch.

Seokjin sighed, moving his hands to intertwine them with Hoseok's. "Don't be, everything will be okay." Hoseok wanted to say something but he shut up by Seokjin placing a kiss on his hand.

The omega blushed, looking at his feet.

"I'm going to be clear with you Namjoon, your mother doesn't like me, I don't like her either," Yoongi said as he tied his hair up into a man bun.

"But-..."

Yoongi paused as he looked at the alpha who was leaning against the door of the van.

"I'm not going to let that stop us as a family from enjoying Chuseok." He finished.

"I'm just glad that you're coming with me. I don't think I could go a day without seeing you." Namjoon said, placing a hand over Yoongi's thigh. The omega rolled his eyes.

"You've spent a year away from me before Joon."

Namjoon put a finger to Yoongi's lips, "Sssh! That's not my point."

"Okay, okay. I don't think I could deal with Jungkook for a whole three days on my own." Yoongi said, placing a hand over his mate's.

Namjoon turned his hand over to intertwine them together, "I love you so, so much Yoongi."

A soft smile appeared on Yoongi's face, "I love you too Namjoon."

"What's wrong Jinnie?" Hoseok asked as he turned to face the alpha that stormed into his room. The older threw himself on the bed, making himself cosy in Hoseok's nest. Seokjin's face wasn't visible because he was lying on the bed face flat.

The omega sighed as he got up from his chair, he closed the door before making his way to the sad alpha, his sad alpha pheromones filling the room.

Hoseok threw himself onto the older man, who huffed at the extra weight on his back.

"Why are you upset, Jinnie?" He asked running his fingers through the older boy's hair. The omega's ear twitched at a sob coming from Seokjin.

He immediately got off the alpha and sat beside him, turning him around. Seokjin's cheeks were red and tear-stained. The older looked away from the younger, letting out quiet sniffles.

"What happened, Seokie?" Hoseok asked, pulling the alpha into his arms. Seokjin shook his head, hiding his face in the crook of Hoseok's neck.

The omega sighed, and he pulled the scrawny alpha into his nest.

"You know you have to speak about it." He said, the other shook his head, "I don't want to." He rasped.

Hoseok looked around his room, looking for something to threaten the older about. He glanced at his nest. Knowing how Seokjin loves to lay in his nest he just allows unlike other omega's who would immediately kick you out.

"If you don't tell me, I'll kick you out my nest and you'll never get to lay in it."

Hoseok was startled by how fast Seokjin sat up. The alpha wiped his eyes, as he sat crisscrossed in the nest, "I'll tell y-you then, please just don't do that."

Hoseok cooed at alpha, the pout on his red flushed cheeks made him look so cute.

"I couldn't do that, you're too cute to do so hyung," Hoseok said as he sat up on his hind legs.

Seokjin fiddled his fingers, "I tried to join the school's hockey team- which was so dumb, I don't what I think-..." Seokjin stopped when he felt Hoseok cupping his face.

"It's not dumb, you have a passion for it."  The omega brushed his thumb over Seokjin's flushed cheek.

"I got stopped by Matthew and his friends afterwards," Seokjin concluded as looked away from the omega's eyes.

Hoseok got up from his bed, "I going to murder someone today." Hoseok chirped as he put his boots on. No way Hoseok was going to fight someone in short shorts and boots.

"Please don't Hobi." Seokjin tried to block the omega's way. Hoseok crossed his arms looking up at the alpha, "No. I'm not going to let this pass." The omega pushed him to the side, storming out of the room.

Seokjin followed the omega, their school wasn't that far, it was a 20-minute walk from Hoseok's house but at the speed of how the omega's small legs were going, it felt like he had walking a distance.

Once they finally got to the school, it was almost empty, except for the football jocks on the field.

"Hoseok please don't," Seokjin begged. The omega glanced at the hand around his wrist, "But they keep bullying you." The omega said, a pout forming on his face.

"But it's not serious, let's just go home," Seokjin said, unwrapping his hand from Hoseok's wrist. Hoseok sighed as he moved forward to move the bangs of hair covering Seokjin's face.

The alpha smiled, "Let's go."

Hoseok wrapped his arms around Seokjin's arm. As they were about to walk away, they heard whistling coming from behind them. The alpha rolled his eyes, he took his jacket off his shoulders and wrapped it around the younger's waist.

°

Hoseok stood behind Seokjin as they stepped inside the house with Minseok pressed to his chest. There were probably more than 5 pairs of eyes on him and it made his skin crawl.

The house looked like the ones straight out of a home design magazine with its marble floors and its black and white interior, it was minimalistic, so much different from the one Hoseok and Seokjin grew up. Hoseok remembered that there used to be wooden flooring and a huge fluffy brown rug near the fireplace-

"You're so pretty up in person." Hoseok jumped back a little, there was an older woman in front of him, judging by her pineapple scent she was an omega.

"T-thank you." He muttered as rubbed circling into Minseok's back to calm her down.

The old woman turned to face Seokjin before engulfing him in a tight hug before pulling away a few seconds later.

The alpha smiled as he placed a hand on the small of Hoseok's back.

"Grandma Sun-hee this is Hoseok and Hoseok this is Grandma Sun-hee." Sun-hee smiled at Hoseok, as she put her hand out to shake his.

Hoseok used his free hand to shake the woman's hand.

Hoseok stood by Seokjin, who wrapped his arm around Hoseok's waist whilst he greeted everyone.

"How old is she?" Sun-hee asked as she caressed the back of Minseok's head. The pup yawned, turning her head to face the ajhumma.

"She's 2 weeks old," Hoseok said, fixing the blanket covering the girl.

"Oh- so you just gave birth recently?" Hoseok nodded, "She's so cute, what's her name?"

"Minseok," Seokjin said, Hoseok nodded as he tended to the pup. Minseok grunted as turned around, "She's starting to fuss." Hoseok muttered.

"Give her to me," Seokjin said, holding his arms out. Hoseok handed the pup over to Seokjin. Minseok latched onto him tightly.

"I never thought I'd see Jin being a father in my 78 years of life," Sun-hee commented, Hoseok giggled while Seokjin mumbled something under his breath.

"He never wants to leave her alone," Hoseok commented.

"He's a typical girl dad, getting overprotective over his daughter if a boy is near." Namjoon chimed in, and put an arm around Hoseok and Seokjin's shoulders.

"Don't act as if you're any different from him Joon. Having beef with a two-year-old." Yoongi said, appearing next to Hoseok.

"Daddy do't like Ming'u," Jungkook said as he held his mother's hand.
Hoseok let everyone talk as he just made himself comfortable in the corner of the room, letting himself adjust to his surroundings.

Hoseok felt sick to his stomach as his nose caught a whiff of the oh-so-familiar scent. The scent was one of the components of making the best decision of his life.

"What's all the commotion about?" Hoseok felt his heart run cold, it was her.

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Chapter Text

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Life with Hanseul was so peaceful, the dates and the little gifts. Hoseok thought he'd let his walls down and settle down with Hanseul.

He and Hanseul had been talking about the possible prospect of mating. Hoseok had always hesitated about that especially since he noticed a few red flags in Hanseul. He always had horrible anger issues.

Hoseok being the bubbly person that he is can tend to be overexcited even if there is nothing to be excited about, so one time he was talking non-stop about how one of his students had memorised all his timetables over the holidays when Hanseul just snapped.

"Can you keep quiet for fuck sake!?"

Hoseok just blinked, "Excuse  m-me ?"

"You heard me, can you keep quiet?"

Hoseok didn't spend the night at  Hanseul's  place. The omega avoided his boyfriend's texts for a few days until the alpha appeared on his door. He should have not accepted his apology but Hoseok was kind and everyone deserves a second chance.

Well, everything was fine, good, almost perfect.

Until...

Her.

Hoseok didn't mind at first 'cause, after all, she was his secretary but it began to bother him at how she was always there. During dinner parties, their private lunches even to the point she was coming into his house just because "Hanseul said so."

But he brushed everything off because Hanseul was still giving him the attention a boyfriend should get.

The problem began to escalate when Hanseul would leave abruptly because it was working related or coming back home late and smelling like 'her'.

Everything just became worse once he found out that he was pregnant. He was happy about him bringing a pup of his own into the world.

He waited till his boyfriend got home and once he did tell him the good news, it didn't seem like such good news once he saw the reaction on  Hanseul's  face.

Hoseok began to distance himself from the man, if Hanseul didn't want the baby he'd raise him or her himself, plus he had better things to focus on:  Finding Seokjin.  (Despite him being on the TV or news every other day.)

Until that one day, you all must know by now. How Hoseok for Hanseul fucking the brains out his secretary's head and when he tried to confront him, the half-naked alpha almost slapped him if it weren't for his secretary stopping him from doing so.

The omega would have been appreciative of the act if it wasn't for the words that soon left her mouth.

"He isn't worth that, just looking at him, pathetic."

Hoseok made sure to swear on his life that Minseok would never know what a son of a bitch her biological father is.

°

°

°

Seokjin could feel the subtle anger from Hoseok, there was a huge shift in the air. Seokjin hadn't seen Hoseok this angry since high school when he almost beat up Matthew for bullying him. The omega was glaring hard at the woman standing next to his mother.

"You smell like burnt cookies, Hobi," Seokjin muttered under his breath, the omega turned to stare at him with wide, apologetic eyes.

"I'm sorry-..."

Seokjin shook his head before speaking up again, "Do you want to tell me what's wrong?" Hoseok shook his head.

"I'll deal with it myself, Hyung." Hoseok chirped.

Seokjin didn't like the way the younger's voice sounded overly cheery. Something was off. Hoseok took Minseok into his arms, kissing the girl's little nose before moving away from the alpha.

"Jin-ah, I'd like you to meet Eunsook, the Choi family's daughter." Seokjin watched as his mother pushed the omega forward. Seokjin kept a reserved face, the one he usually had pre-game time.

"Isn't she beautiful?" Mrs. Kim commented, Seokjin could hear his aunts in the background agreeing.

"Nice to finally meet you Jin, I heard so many good things from your mother," Eunsook said, smiling at him. She extended her hand but quickly retracted it.

I dare you.

"Nice to meet you." He greeted back, he wasn't going to be rude and ignore the woman but he was going to make it clear that he wasn't interested.

Mrs Kim smiled as she positioned herself in between the two, "You two look good together, how about you two go for a walk in the gardens? To get to know each other more?"

"Okay, Mrs. Kim-..."

Seokjin cleared his throat up as he glanced at Hoseok who looked away from his gaze, "I'm already with someone. That's the mother of my child." He said, pointing at Hoseok who kept himself busy with Minseok.

Mrs Kim looked Hoseok up and down, her lips curling into a frown.

The alpha smiled apologetically at Eunsook, "I'm sure you find someone better."

Mrs. Kim or more preferably Kyung-hee gave Seokjin a challenging look. Her son returned the look.

Hoseok bit his lip as he stared at the mother and son. Seokjin was challenging his mother.

"Okay, let's get freshened up before dinner and the rest of the pack begins to arrive," Sun-hee spoke up, clasping her hands together.

"Yeah, I'd like to do so," Seokjin said, tearing his eyes from his mother's eyes.

Sun-hee looked at Yoongi and Hoseok, "I'll show you two the omega court." She said, beckoning for the two omegas to follow her.

Hoseok nodded his head as he followed the Halmeoni. Eunsook shot him a grin before whispering but loud enough for Hoseok to hear.

"I'll do it all over again."

"What did she mean by "I'll do it all over again"?" Yoongi asked as he tied his bathrobe.

Hoseok sighed as he buttoned up Minseok's onesie, "My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with her, while I was pregnant." He mumbled.

"And she thinks that's some kind of title?" Yoongi scoffed, he plopped himself down onto the bed.

Hoseok bit his lip, looking up as he tried to blink away tears, Yoongi immediately noticed this. "Was it that bad, love?"

Hoseok nodded, "I-I felt l-like dying." He croaked out.

The older omega got up from the bed and walked over to the younger who was trying not to cry in front of Minseok.

Yoongi pulled the younger into a hug, despite their small height difference.
"You're strong, Hoseok."

The younger omega sniffled, "You think so?"

Yoongi nodded, "I do. You are stronger than you think." Hoseok hummed softly, sniffling still. The two omegas stood in the middle room, Yoongi hugging the younger while calming him down with his scent.

"What if Seokjin leaves me for her? S-she's pretty and-..."

Yoongi shushed him, "Now that's self-pity speaking. I've known Jin for a long time, you're the only person he has his eyes on." He ran his fingers through the younger's hair.

- -

"This is why I avoid coming during Chuseok." Seokjin muttered as fixed the bandage wrapped around his chest which reached his shoulder, "Fuck." He whispered.

Namjoon sighed as he brushed Jungkook's hair back, "Bad wo'd Jinnie." The pup said as he played with the plushie in his hands.

"I don't know what to say but just try to ignore it. I just want to have a normal Chuseok." Namjoon said, helping his son put his sweater on.

"I guess I can but I can't guarantee that I won't flip out because of Mom." The older said, slipping a hoodie on. His doctor told him to stay warm to help his shoulder sprain get better.

"The food looks delicious, thanks Halmeoni," Yoongi said as he rocked the sleepy pup in his arms.

"I'm going to be so full after this," Hoseok added, placing the songpyeon on the table.

"You two are so scrawny, of course, I was going to make more food. This makes me wonder if Joonie and Jinnie aren't feeding you right."

The two omegas chuckled.

Sun-hee took a seat on one of the nearest stools, "Now where are the princess and his boyfriend?"

Hoseok smiled, Sun-hee was talking about Jimin.

"He is still freshening up with Taehyung," Yoongi informed.

The elder tutted her tongue, "Kids these days. How much are you willing to bet that they are getting w-i-l-d?"

Hoseok gawked at the woman who smiled at Yoongi.

"Mom stop with your nonsense," Kyung-hee spoke up as she walked into the room with the japchae.

Sun-hee rolled her eyes as she got up from the stool, dusting off her skirt, "You're no fun. I'm going to check up on the boys. Jungkook let's go before they bore us into an early grave." The elder omega took the sleepy pup into her arms.

"Mama?" Jungkook lifted his head, his eyes barely opened.

"Go with Halmeoni, Bubba." The mother muttered as he kissed his son's nose. Sun-hee smiled at the interaction before leaving the dining room.

"I'm going to check on Hongjoong and Mingi," Yoongi announced, side-eyeing his mother-in-law before leaving the room.

So now it was just Seokjin's mother and him.

"So what do you work as?"

"I'm a kindergarten teacher like Taehyung." Hoseok chirped, as he covered the food.

"Oh- so you are one of those omegas that work, instead of staying at home taking care of your pups and alpha?" Kyung-hee placed a container of chopsticks on the table.

The omega furrowed his eyebrows, "I mean- like in this century you have to have some sort of job," he chuckled awkwardly.

"But why do you need to work when Jin is bringing the higher income?"

Hoseok held himself from rolling his eyes.

"I know that but I just like having my independence, plus I enjoy my job and working for my own money instead of depending on someone every time."

Kyung-hee was about to respond if it wasn't for Jimin walking in.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Dinner went by quickly, it would have been great if it wasn't for Kyung-hee and Seokjin's aunties sending him looks as if he looked like shit- maybe he did?

He had gained some weight from his pregnancy and he was still adjusting to his body.

His eyes managed to find their way to Eunsook and then to Seokjin who was feeding Minseok the milk he had pumped right before dinner. The two would make a great couple, and maybe a great family.

"I'll be back," he spoke, getting from his chair before quickly walking away from the dining room.

The omega let out a frustrated sigh as he looked around for the room where he left his and Seokjin's luggage. He checked every room, the house was just so annoyingly huge. He just wanted to find the goddamn room his luggage was in and change into a looser t-shirt which made his body barely visible.

Hoseok opened a door and he froze up when another pair of eyes stared back at him. The woman looked old, older than Sun-hee. She had a sunflower bandana covering her head and was wearing a black fluffy coat with boots.

Guessing by the absence of a scent, she was a beta.

"I'm sorry, I was lost-..."

"No problem. What's your name dear?" The woman asked, smiling at him.

"I'm Jung Hoseok, how about you?" He asked, stepping into the room.

"You have such a beautiful name. I'm Myeong... Can you keep me company Hoseok, of course, if you don't mind?"

Hoseok shook his head, "I'll be happy to do so, it would be nice to get away from everything for a bit." The omega closed the door behind him.

Myeong smiled, "It's always so busy during Chuseok, the traditions and festivities." She said, straightening the blanket covering her legs.

"Oh, I know what you mean. It's my first Chuseok with Jin and Minseok, and I feel so overwhelmed. We just arrived." Hoseok breathed as he sat down on the floor, in front of an older woman.

Myeong furrowed her eyebrows, "You came with Jin?" She sat up.

Hoseok nodded, and the beta hummed softly, leaning back.

"Who's Minseok?"

Hoseok smiled, "She's my pup, I gave birth recently."

"I wish I could see her, I bet she's as beautiful as you." Hoseok blushed, covering his face.

"She is downstairs with Jin...Can I ask a question?" Myeong nods her head, urging the boy to speak.

"Why aren't you downstairs with everyone? I mean you have such a big family." He asked, bringing his legs to his chest.

"I don't celebrate Chuseok, it has the worst memories of my late husband." She said the cheerfulness in her voice slowed.

Hoseok's eyes went wide, "I-I'm sorry for asking without knowing-..."

"Don't worry I don't mind. I just don't like to remember the bad memories." Myeong said, a small sniffle leaving her mouth. Hoseok feeling the need to comfort the elder woman let his scent flow through the room.

The beta looked up at the omega, "No wonder Seokjin chose you as a mate. He was always fond of the smell of sweet foods."

Hoseok smiled, "I always knew that. He used to sit in my nest more than I did during high school."

"So you're high school sweethearts?"

"In some way, yes. I had to move from Gwangju but lost contact with him. Then I found his apartment in Seoul under specific circumstances while I was pregnant."

Myeong nodded, "I'm just happy that he has someone who cares for him. He was always a loner and especially since he was the oldest son, the pressure on him was heavy."

Hoseok glanced outside the window, it was dark outside and the moon was shining brightly, "Halmeoni how about me and you downstairs together?" Hoseok glances at her.

The beta looked hesitant as she fiddled with the blanket on her lap.

"You have great grandkids that would love to see you, especially Jungkook."

"Who is he?"

Hoseok smiled, "Namjoon and Yoongi's pup. He is adorable, especially with his big doe eyes."

Myeong pursed her lips together, "I'm scared of how it will be without Minjoon." She said shakily.

Hoseok shuffled closer to the elder, taking her wrinkled, calloused but soft hands into his own, "That's why I'm going to be there by you and it's time for you to make new memories with your family, plus I'd love it if you met Minnie."

Myeong looked into Hoseok's eyes for a bit before speaking up, "Get me my walking stick by the bed."

Hoseok smiled as he got up from the floor.

- -

Seokjin had left Minseok in the good hands of Yoongi who didn't even hesitate on holding the pup.

He was looking for his boyfriend who had disappeared during dinner. The alpha was about to walk up the stairs if it wasn't for Eunsook calling his name.

"Jin, why don't you and me go on a walk outside?" She asked, batting her eyelashes.

Seokjin let a sigh leave his lips, "Eunsook I can't right now. I looking for Hoseok." He said.

"That could wait for a bit, c'mon Jinnie." Seokjin stared at the omega's hand on his arm.

"Please don't call me by my nickname, we haven't even known each other for 24 hours. We'll just stick to Seokjin and Eunsook for now." He removed the hand from his arm.

"Now please excuse me, I'm going to look for my boyfriend." The alpha announced as he moved past the lady.

Seokjin wasn't going to lie and say Eunsook wasn't an attractive woman, she was gorgeous but he had Hoseok who was more than enough for him. The younger's beauty was out of this world and nothing and when I mean nothing can change that.

Hoseok looked beautiful no matter what time of the day it was or whatever circumstances.

- -

"Why do you look down all of a sudden, dear?" Myeong asked, tapping Hoseok's chin.

"Can I be honest?" Hoseok looked at the elder, she nodded putting a hand over his.

Hoseok let out a small sigh, "So there's this lady, Eunsook...and I know her because she is the secretary that my ex-boyfriend cheated on me with and now she's here and Mrs. Kim probably hates me cause I'm not the ideal omega for her lovely son and Eunsook is but- god I'm rambling."

Myeong giggled, "You're so cute... Don't worry, I'm not letting some homewrecker come in between you and my Jinnie."

Hoseok smiled.

They made their way down the stairs, Hoseok helping the elder. He squeezed Myeong's hand when they were in the corridor, "It's time to make new memories."

Hoseok and Myeong walked into the bustling living room, which quieted down once their eyes fell on Myeong and Hoseok.

"Unnie?" Sun-hee was the first to speak up. Myeong smiled as she watched her younger sister walk up to her.

"I-I thought you stopped celebrating Chuseok?" She looked so shaken yet so happy.

Myeong glanced at Hoseok, "Someone told me that it's time for me to make new memories."

"Plus I want to see my grandbabies and great-grandbabies," Myeong added.

Hoseok watched as the two sisters hugged, the sight warmed his heart.

"Halmeoni," Namjoon and Seokjin were the next two people to hug the woman. The two boys looked like kids.

"You two grew so tall, bend down so I can greet you nicely." Myeong scolded playfully. Namjoon and Seokjin lowered their heads.

"Hello, my dear." Myeong places a kiss on the younger boy's forehead

Seokjin furrowed his eyebrows when he didn't feel a kiss on his forehead.

"Ow! Halmeoni what did I do?!" Seokjin hissed in pain as he was brought to his knees because of how hard his grandmother was twisting his ear.

"You haven't seen me in years and didn't come the last time I asked you. I would have given you a spanking but I'm saving your dignity." Myeong said before kissing her grandson's forehead.

"You really are a ray of sunshine, Seok." Hoseok looked at his side, it was Yoongi.
The older omega handed Minseok who was still pretty much awake to her mother.

Minseok latched onto him, "Did you miss mommy?" Hoseok asked, kissing the pup's little nose.

Yoongi smiled as he watched the interaction. He felt a tug on his t-shirt and it was Jungkook, he rubbed his eyes as he made grabby hands at Yoongi.

The omega picked his son up, "Sleepy?"
"Sweepy." Jungkook rested his head on Yoongi's shoulder.

"So where are my great-grandbabies?" Myeong asked in a sing-song voice.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"You're done putting her to bed?" Seokjin asked as he watched the omega walk into the bathroom.

"She was very tired, out like a light bulb," he said, looking at Seokjin in the mirror. Hoseok could feel the alpha staring at him, he felt his arms wrap around his shoulders.

"Thank you so much," Seokjin whispered, kissing the shorter male's head.

Hoseok smiled as he placed a hand on Seokjin's arm, "No problem, Jinnie."

The couple stood in the mirror, looking at their reflections. They look good, good together.  They belonged to each other.

"I love you so much, Jin-ah.," Hoseok muttered, drawing shapes into the older's arm. Seokjin smiled into Hoseok's hair, "I love you too, Seok. More than anything."

- -

"Are you sure you want to tell the rest of the family?" Taehyung asked, lifting his head from Jimin's stomach.

"I'm sure, we're getting married in December and my bump would be more visible," Jimin said.

Taehyung hummed before turning his focus to Jimin's tummy, "Hey there little one- Taehyung chuckled softly at the annoyed tug on his hair- Hey Hanni or Jaejoon, this is your dad. We're going to love you so much."  He kissed the omega's tummy.

"I have a strong feeling it's a girl," Jimin said as he pushed the hair covering the beta's face.

"It's whatever you want it to be Mimi."

Jimin smiled as he pulled the younger into his arms, "I love you so much." He muttered.

Taehyung smiled as slung an arm over the beta, "I love too... and this little one growing inside!"

Jimin squealed as Taehyung tickled his tummy, "Taehyung! I'm going to piss myself if you c-continue!" Jimin managed to say in between laughs.

- -

Yoongi couldn't sleep. He glanced over at his husband and pup who were fast asleep. Jungkook was holding onto his calico cat plushie with a pout and his messy bed hair, he was adorable.

He closed Namjoon's mouth using his index finger and thumb, the alpha scrunched his nose as he turned around.

Maybe he could get a midnight snack, there were snacks or leftover food for dinner.

The omega slowly slipped out the bed, but he was quickly noticed by Jungkook who held his t-shirt. The pup rubbed his eyes lifting his head, "Mama going where?" He muttered.

Yoongi shook his head, "Nowhere my baby. Mommy is just hungry." He whispered. Jungkook crawled to him, snuggling into his mother's chest.

The mother sighed as he picked up the boy, bringing his plushie with him. The omega walked to the corner of the room, picking up the purple blanket.

Jungkook rested his head and Yoongi's shoulder, clutching onto his plushie with one hand and the other hand holding Yoongi's t-shirt.

The omega and pup walked out of the room, Yoongi nothing forgetting to place a kiss on Namjoon's head.

"Do you want banana milk?" Yoongi asked the pup.

"Nana milk," Jungkook muttered, yawning.

Yoongi smiled as walked down the stairs.

~

"You need to step up your game. I need you to do something that will turn Seokjin's attention to you!" Kyung-hee whispered and yelled.

They were outside in the kitchen, everyone was asleep as they assumed.

"I'm trying my best too. Jin is a hard nut to crack." Eunsook spat, straightening out her black leather jacket.

Kyung-hee pursed her lips in thought as she moved around the kitchen.

"Tomorrow get your best swimsuit, after the traditions we're heading to the Sulyeon resort and bring a friend, maybe I could sway my youngest too."

Eunsook nodded, "Sure but if that doesn't work?"

"Don't worry about that, I have an idea. Just look pretty and do your job."

"Morning."

Hoseok smiled as he sat up, he watched as Seokjin walked into the room with Minseok pressed against his chest. It looked like they were doing skin-to-skin because Seokjin was shirtless and the pup was in her diaper and socks.

"Hey," Hoseok greeted back, yawning right after. The omega smiled when he felt a pair of lips latch on his.
"How did you sleep?" Seokjin muttered licking his lips, his eyes meeting with younger.

"Okay, not the best but you get it," Hoseok said as he placed a hand over Seokjin's shoulder, digging his nails into his skin now and then.

Minseok grunted as she began to move in her arms, Hoseok was about to take her out of the alpha's arms but Seokjin stopped him.

"I'll take care of her for the morning, you get up. Halmeoni is calling you."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"Mummy is sad?" Jungkook asked as he crawled into Yoongi's arms.

Yoongi shook his head, wiping his eyes, "N-no Bubba, just I have something in my eyes, you see." Yoongi smiled, sniffling lightly.

Jungkook touched his mom's cheek, pressing their noses together, "I love Mama."

Yoongi cupped his pup's face, "I love you too, my baby." He kissed all over the pup's face making him burst into a fit of giggles.

"You're awake now, how did you sleep?" Namjoon stood by the room door, a lopsided dimpled smile on his face with his messy bed hair.

Yoongi tucked a strand of hair behind his ear, "I slept okay, it got pretty hot overnight though." He sniffled quietly.

Jungkook wiped his mom's tear-stained face, "Mama happy now?"
Yoongi nodded as he kissed the pup's chubby hand.

The omega avoided the younger's gaze, "Do you want to speak about it hyung?" Namjoon asked, walking over to the bed.

"Not now, I don't wanna ruin the mood."
Yoongi muttered, carding his fingers through the pup's messy hair.

"Yoongi, I don't care about that. You're my mate and I do have some right to know what's going on with you, open and clear communication-..."

Namjoon was cut off by Yoongi standing up from the bed, holding Jungkook in his arms, "I can deal with my problems Joon and I don't want to talk about it."

Namjoon winced at the harsh stare Yoongi had on him, despite his playful tone (because of Jungkook) he knew better than to press the topic anymore.

"Okay, Yoongi."

- -

"Halmeoni, you have to teach me how to make your dumplings," Hoseok said as he brought another dumpling to his mouth.

"I will. The boys used to love these when they were younger." Myeong said as she covered the dumplings that were still on the stove.

"More please!" Jungkook tapped his great-grandmother's arm, Myeong smiled as she put two more onto the pup's place.

He couldn't help but notice the prominent smell of sour tangerines with a hint of lemon.

"You smell like sour tangerines," Hoseok spoke up.

"I didn't wake up on the right side of the bed," Yoongi muttered, Hoseok knew something was off just by the tone of Yoongi's voice.

The older omega let out a sigh before leaning his head on his shoulder. Yoongi was looking for comfort and Hoseok was going to give him that. Yoongi had comforted him several times and he going to do the same back, after all, they were unofficial nest mates.

"I snapped at Joon for no reason- I feel so bad right now," Yoongi whispered. Hoseok ran his fingers through the older's hair.

"Just say sorry, okay."

Everyone in the kitchen heads turned to Hongjoong and Mingi who stumbled into the room.

Hongjoong was giggling trying to unwrap the younger's arms from his waist.

"Morning Halmeoni," Hongjoong greeted, bowing his head. Mingi did the same, his arms still around Hongjoong.

"Morning sweetie," Myeong said, smiling at the boys.

Mingi rested his head atop Hongjoong's head while the beta put his hands over the alpha's arms. They were so sickly in love.

"They are cute together." Yoongi muttered, Hoseok nodded, "They remind me of you and Joon."

Yoongi sighed.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Yoongi pursed his lips together as he stared at Namjoon who was tying a knot for his hanbok, or was trying to. The room was quiet, it wasn't the comfortable silence he used, it was just awkward.

"Let me help you Joon," Yoongi mumbled as he took the straps of the hanbok. He slowly tied a knot, clasping his hands together right after.

"You know you're very beautiful Yoongi, no matter what," Namjoon spoke up as he gently took the older's hands into his.

Yoongi blushed as he stared into his husband's eyes, "Thanks Joon... I'm sorry for lashing out at you earlier." He mumbled.

Namjoon shrugged his shoulders, "It's okay, I shouldn't have pressed the issue but I did."
The omega was about to speak but the younger's arms wrapping around his waist stopped him.

"But whatever you're going through I'd like to know too, open and clear communication?"

Yoongi smiled nodding, "Open and clear communication." He circled his arms around the alpha's neck.

The omega's smile slowly curved into a cheeky grin, "You look good in hanbok."

"Do I?" Namjoon queried, raising an eyebrow with a questioning smile.

Yoongi nodded as he removed imaginary lint from Namjoon's hanbok. The younger lowered his head before kissing the older who reciprocated the action.

Yoongi smiled into the kiss when he and Namjoon stumbled onto the bed, "I love you so much."

"I love you too Joon," Yoongi said as he kissed his alpha's forehead.

No matter what was the problem, they'd find a way to solve it

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"Who's the prettiest? Who's the prettiest? You are, you are!" Seokjin tickled the pup's feet as he kissed her puffy cheeks.

Minseok gurgled, a lopsided smile prominent on her face.

Seokjin was in charge of getting the girl dressed whilst Hoseok took a shower.

The dad smiled as he picked up the half-dressed baby girl, "Which hanbok do you want to wear Minseok?" He asked, facing the closet which had 2 different little hanboks hanging on a hanger. One is a light shade of pink with white sunflower embroidered into it and the other is a little shade of green with green leaves embroidered into it.

Minseok's hand magically lifted and  pointed to the pink one, "What a wonderful choice Seokie."

Seokjin heard a scoff coming from behind him, "You wanted her to wear the pink one hyung."

The alpha shrugged as he took the dress from the hanger, "I didn't not, she chose on her own. Is that right Minseok?"

"Yes, Dad."

Hoseok giggled at Seokjin's squeaky voice, "Nice try Jin." The omega walked up to the pup who was making grabby hands at her mother.

Hoseok kissed Minseok's nose before planting one on Seokjin's lips.

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Seokjin should have known swimsuit shopping with Hoseok was a trap.

"How do I look?," Hoseok asked as opening the fitting room curtain. Seokjin's face turned red, "Y-you look good." He stuttered, looking away.

The omega wore a light green spaghetti strap swimsuit top, with a similar shawl wrapped around his waist. It suited his lean, pear-shaped body. His slightly toned stomach and pretty thighs would drive any alpha crazy and that was just the bare minimum.

"Thank you  Jinnie , gosh I am so excited for this trip." Hoseok threw himself into the older's arms, giggling at Seokjin's red face, "You're so cute hyung."

Seokjin sat on the chair outside the changing rooms and waited for Hoseok to finish trying on the swimsuits he had selected.
The alpha had to ignore the confused looks shot at him by passers.

Hoseok had pulled Seokjin into the changing room at one point, the older held his breath the entire time he was in the room. Hoseok was so pretty it could kill him.

Soon the long-awaited trip came.

Seokjin was joining Hoseok's family on their trip to the beach. He wasn't the only one, Hoseok's older sister's boyfriend was joining them. Seokjin felt somewhat out of place.

Hoseok's family was so bubbly and cheery and  Jiwoo's  boyfriend was probably used to it because he joined in on the family's karaoke on the way to the beach.

Hoseok was his daily serotonin for him but the entire family was way too much for him.

"What's wrong Seok?"

Hoseok asked, staring at him with worried eyes.

" N-nothing  it's just overwhelming- in a good way of course," Seokjin said, the younger smiled as he leaned closer to the older. "I know we can be overwhelming at times," Hoseok whispered into his ear. Seokjin felt goosebumps on his skin, Hoseok whispering in his ear had to be heaven.

They arrived at the beach.

Hoseok said he was going to change into his swimsuit, pulling his sister with him.

Seokjin was left with  Jiwoo's  boyfriend, Andrew.

"I'm Andrew and you?" the older alpha put his hand out. Seokjin cleared his throat, "I'm Seokjin."

Seokjin sat underneath the beach umbrella awkwardly as he watched Hoseok's parents converse with Andrew. He felt a little self-conscious of his body, here he was wearing a long-sleeved loose swim shirt and trunks while all the guys around him were shirtless and showing off their toned bodies.

"We're back, Jiwoo lost her bag but we found it!" Seokjin's thought trail was stopped by Hoseok. When he looked up all the air in his chest got knocked out of him. Hoseok was in a different colour swimsuit, it was a soft rose pink with little flowers on it. Hoseok looked beautiful-

"Aren't you lucky mate?!" Seokjin blushed at Andrews's words. Jiwoo playfully hit her boyfriend's chest, "Leave the poor boy alone Andy!"

Hoseok giggled as he sat down next to Seokjin, folding his legs," I changed the initial colour, do you like it?" The omega brushed his hair out of his face.

Seokjin didn't just like it, he loved it.

"Yeah," he breathed, quickly glancing up and down. Hoseok smiled, a small blush creeping up on his face.

Hoseok's parents had left to get snacks and Jiwoo and her boyfriend were getting too comfortable for the other two's liking.

"Isn't that too much sunscreen Hobi?" Seokjin asked as Hoseok applied sunscreen to his face. "It's enough unless you want to get a tan?" The omega sassed. Seokjin chuckled as he opened one eye. Hoseok had a pout on his lips. He was too cute.

Seokjin and Hoseok played in the water, Seokjin noticed how others tried to start up conversations with the omega but Hoseok would politely brush them off and make his way back to Seokjin.

"Let's go hyung!" Seokjin and Hoseok walked around the beach, stopping at different stalls. Hoseok looked so hot with his wet hair, glittery shiny tanned skin and swimming costume. He felt like the luckiest person on earth right now.

"Are you ok hyung?" Hoseok asked as he cupped the older's face. Seokjin had bumped his face into a steel pole.

The younger was so close to him, that he could feel his breath fanning his lips, his body pressed up against his. Seokjin was spiraling.

"I'm okay Seok." He managed to get out. Hoseok smiled as he tiptoed and placed a kiss on the alpha's forehead.

While they were getting a slushie, a female alpha  was talking to Hoseok but the more she spoke the more obvious it was that she was hitting on him.

"So are you single?" She asked, licking her lips.

Hoseok grimaced slightly, he backed up into Seokjin who was standing on the side.
"I'm with him," Hoseok said as he held Seokjin's arm.

The trip to the beach ended with Hoseok fast asleep on Seokjin's shoulder and the older smiling like an idiot.

"These hanboks were passed down from generation to generation and now I'm handing them to you two," Myeong said as she placed each hanbok into the omegas' hands.

"Thank you Halmeoni." Yoongi and Hoseok bowed their heads. Myeong smiled as she caressed their faces before walking out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"If I were at home I'd stay in these clothes the whole day," Yoongi said as he pointed at his clothes. He was wearing a loose tank top and sweats.

"That's all I can wear," Hoseok added as he placed the hanbok on the bed.

Yoongi pursed his lips together before speaking up, "Hoseok I need to tell you something I heard yesterday."

Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows, "Yeah I listening."

"So like you how Kyung-hee and-..."

The two omegas' heads turn at the sound of the door opening, it was Jimin. The younger smiled as he stepped into the room, and closed the door behind him.

"I wanted to talk to you two about something," Jimin says as he walks toward the older omegas. Yoongi and Hoseok gave a concerned look as Jimin pulled them to sit on the bed, whilst he sat on a chair in front of them.

"So as you already know, me and Taehyung are getting married and I wanted to tell you two first because you're my hyungs- Hoseok beckoned for Jimin to hurry up - me and Tae found out about this while I was preparing for one of my performances when I fainted." The youngest omega paused as he glanced in between his hyungs.

"I'm pregnant."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"Try to take a sip of it," Seokjin urged as Namjoon poured some lemon-y-smelling liquid into a cup.

Mingi glanced at Hongjoong who smiled reassuringly, "It's what they usually do when there's a newcomer." The beta explained, as he softly nudged the alpha forward.

"Does it have alcohol inside?" Mingi asked, glancing back at Hongjoong as he picked the glass up. "Just a teensy bit but not a lot to make you drunk."

Mingi stared at the glass, "1,2,3-..."

The boy gulped the drink in one go, Mingi gagged at the taste as the taste began to sink in. Hongjoong giggled, "How did it taste?"

"Like shit." The younger grumbled as he half-heartedly glared at the older. Hongjoong just smiled.

Hoseok stared at the mirror, he didn't like how he looked.

"I wonder what you had to do for Seokjin to be so head over heels for you?" Hoseok looked to the entrance of the door, Eunsook.

"What do want?" Hoseok muttered as opened the faucet. Eunsook shrugged her shoulders as she walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. "I mean one could only wonder, you aren't the best-looking omega anyway so what was it?" she said as she tapped her temple. 

Hoseok's hands curled into fists, "So you're only here to rub it in my face that you managed to snatch my ex from me?"

"Not really, I just want to know what someone like Seokjin would like about a whore like you?" Eunsook said, her arms crossed.

Hoseok was going to hold himself together, "I don't know, pl-please can you leave me alone now?"

Eunsook glanced at him, she began to walk toward the omega as she spoke.

"Maybe it was pity- that's not right though. Maybe it's the fact you throw yourself at every alpha you see with your loose hole-...

Hoseok and Eunsook looked to the door, and Yoongi stood by the door.

"What the actual hell is up you? You treat being a homewrecker like a trophy," Yoongi said as he stepped inside the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

"Hyung-..."

"No Hoseok, what's her problem?" Yoongi crossed his arms.

Eunsook rolled her eyes, "Look who's talking, the omega who can't conceive pup-..."

Yoongi chuckled bitterly before speaking up, "Wow, don't you dare fucking try your bullshit on me. I don't know who think you are but you dare to come here and act as if you are the shit, you're nothing but a homewrecker. You knew he was fucking pregnant, you know it's important to have a mate during such periods because you, yourself is an omega. Couldn't you feel a sense of remorse, pity?"

Yoongi spat as he glared at Eunsook who looked speechless.

"That's what I fucking thought. You think that you can walk in here and everyone's mates will be on their knees begging for you to be theirs? No, get a reality check, Seokjin is fucking head over heels for him not because of his physical attributes or whatever crap you were spewing out earlier, it's because he makes him happy, genuinely happy not some sexual sense of euphoria or your version of happiness."

"And let me pop that fucked up mindset you have, just because you managed to break Hoseok and his ex up doesn't mean you won. You were temporary, not permanent. You managed to crawl into the relationship like the cockroach you are and you were lucky enough not to end up squashed. Are you even in a stable relationship with him?"

Hoseok glanced at Eunsook, the look on her face was enough for him to know what happened.

"That's what I thought, enjoy Kyung-hee's puppet for the next day because after Chuseok, you're it's back to being a temporary pocket pussy until who knows when. Let's go Seok." Yoongi said as he put his hand out.

Hoseok intertwined his hand with the older omega's, he glanced at Eunsook before leaving the bathroom.

Once they were far enough from the bathroom, Hoseok hugged the older, nuzzling his head into the crook of his neck.

"Th-thank you hyung-..."

Yoongi shushed he softly as he rubbed the younger's back, "Don't worry, just never and I mean never let someone like her get to you."

Hoseok nodded, tears streaming down his face, "o-okay," he croaked out.

- -

"Are you okay Hobi?" Seokjin asked as he squatted down in front of the omega. He knew that the omega was going through postpartum and he needed to give him time.

"Do you love me- let me speak, like do love and not just pity me because I'm an omega?" Hoseok asked, his voice was so quiet.

Seokjin stared Hoseok in the eye, "Hoseok, I've loved you ever since the day I got to know the concept of love. I've never felt the same way I feel for you or anyone else. I mean it. You have an effect on me that nobody has, you make a better person and you make me happy." The alpha said as his thumbs drew circles into the omega's palms.

Hoseok blinked owlishly, it reminded of him Minseok when she'd stare at him, "Really?"

Seokjin smiled, "I mean every bit of it, I love you Hoseok and I want to be more than just a boyfriend to you-..."

The alpha was cut off by Hoseok kissing him, Seokjin smiled into the kiss, placing his hands over the younger's.

"I love you too, maybe from the very beginning," Hoseok muttered, brushing a finger over Seokjin's cheek.

"Ahem." Seokjin and Hoseok glanced back at the door, Myeong stood there with Minseok who squealing as she stared at them.

"We leave in 3 minutes love birds."

Seokjin chuckled as he stood up, helping the love of his life too.

"What's making you so happy Minnie, what is it, my baby?" Hoseok smiled as he watched Seokjin take the pup into his arms, kissing her head.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Hongjoong smiled as he and Mingi stood in the mirror, "You look so beautiful." Mingi muttered.

"I could say the same about you too," Hongjoong said as glanced at the alpha whose head was on his shoulder. The beta let out a knowing chuckle when he felt Mingi's hand crawling under his hanbok.

"Not now," Hongjoong said, as he moved the younger's hand from his hanbok. Mingi grinned sheepishly.

"What are we doing at Sulyeon Resort?" Namjoon asked as he put Jungkook over his shoulders.

"Since it's hot, we are going to host our Chuseok games here before we go for a dip in the springs to cool down," Kyung-hee said as she stepped outside the van.

Seokjin hopped out of the van before helping Hoseok out with Minseok who was asleep strapped to her mom's chest.

Hoseok smiled shyly when Seokjin pulled him into his arms, "You know you look great."

"You can barely see my hanbok."

"I wasn't talking about the hanbok, I meant you in general. You look beautiful." Seokjin said, leaning down to kiss Hoseok's cheek.

"When did he become a romantic?" Myeong pointed at Seokjin as she reached for the van with Taehyung's help.

Yoongi fixed his hat and turned around to get a look at the place, he stood behind Namjoon who was blocking the sun, there was another van similar to the one they came in.

"Are we having guests?" He asked, looking up at his husband.

Everyone's heads went in the direction Yoongi was looking in.

"Oh, the Choi family will be joining us today," Kyung-hee said as she fixed her hanbok.

The happy alpha pheromones radiating from the alpha slowly turned into rotten coconuts and burnt leather.

"Are you sure you're going to be ok with Matthew?" Hoseok asked as he carded his fingers through the older's hair.  Seokjin nodded as he snuggled into the younger's side, his face in the crook of Hoseok's neck.

"I'll be okay as long you don't leave," Seokjin muttered, his grip around the omega's waist. "You know I have no choice, Jin."

Seokjin and Hoseok had asked if they could have one last sleepover before Hoseok left. They tried their best to have fun but the gravity of the situation kept sinking.

They were never going to see each other, ever.

Hoseok stared at Seokjin who was watching the movie on a laptop in front of them, he cleared his throat before speaking up.

"Um- every moment I spent with Jin was special and- I-I'm going to miss you," Hoseok said, lifting his head from the alpha's chest.

Seokjin smiled, "I'm going to miss you too." He glanced down at the omega who stared back at him.

"I've loved you." He whispered.

Hoseok felt the tears weld up in his eyes spill out, "I love you too hyung."

The younger sat upright before planting a chaste kiss on the older's lips.

- -

Seokjin didn't know what to do with himself any more, everything just seemed to be so gloomy. He had this weird feeling, it was like a time bomb, ticking slowly the more he realised that Hoseok was gone, forever.

Every day felt like a drag: waking up, going to school, coming back home. His mother, father and brother had noticed the dramatic change.

What was going on with him?

Seokjin placed his books into his locker, his eyes fell on the picture of him and Hoseok, stuck inside his locker, Hoseok had a sunflower in his hair while he had a ridiculous pirate hat on.

The young alpha ripped the picture off the locker, squishing it into a ball before tossing it to the back of the locker.

Seokjin closed his locker, only for his eyes to meet Matthew's.

"No more Hoseok to protect you now, huh Seokjin?" Matthew said, his voice hiding his true intentions. There were 3 of the school's football team players standing behind him, sizing him up.

Seokjin rolled his eyes, he was about to walk away if it wasn't for Matthew putting a hand on his shoulder, turning him around.

Seokjin didn't know what happened, but something snapped all he knew was that wanted to kill the quarterback right there.

The boy landed a punch on Matthew's face, the punch was strong enough to instantly bruise.

The other alpha staggered back, Matthew didn't even have time to process what just happened. Seokjin had him pinned to the ground, as he repeatedly punched the footballer's face but it wasn't enough. He wanted to leave a mark on his face that would always remind him of what happened.

"I'm going to fucking kill you, Choi Matthew," he muttered as his nails clawed into the alpha below his face, his nails leaving deep red marks.

A small crowd had begun to gather around them and now people were starting to realise how bad this could get when they saw Seokjin hit the boy's head against the locker door.  The group of football players held him back but struggled as Seokjin thrashed around.

"What is going on here?"

- -

Seokjin was unbothered as he sat in the principal's office as his parents and principal spoke.

"I never expected such from you Jin, beating up another student till the point they are barely conscious." The female alpha said as she faced Seokjin.

Seokjin looked her up and down, "You didn't say that when I was getting bullied by Matthew for 2 years straight?"

°

The two families made their way to the booked area of the resort.

"This place is fancy, my parents would never go all out for Chuseok," Mingi said admittedly, glancing down at Hongjoong.

"At least they toned it down this year, it's much calmer than last year's," Hongjoong said. He cringed at the memory.

- -

"Did something happen after I left?" Hoseok asked as he unlatched Minseok from his chest. Seokjin shook his head as a no but Hoseok knew better than to take Seokjin's word without pressing him more.

Minseok gurgled as she tried grabbing Seokjin, "Are you sure Jinnie? You can always tell me." Hoseok carefully handed Minseok over, supporting her little head.

"We...kinda fought..." Seokjin trailed off as he wiped the saliva off Minseok's chin. Hoseok squinted his eyes at the alpha who avoided his gaze. Hoseok let out a sigh, "How bad was it?"

"Barely conscious bad-..."

"Jin!" Hoseok screeched, Seokjin ignored him as he continued to rock the pup as she cooed softly. Hoseok crossed his arms as he stared at the older. Seokjin smiled sheepishly, "It was worth it." He said, his arm snaking around the omega's waist.

The younger side-eyed him, "Oh really?"

"Really," Seokjin nuzzled his face against the omega's cheek as if he were a newborn pup.
Hoseok couldn't help but break into a small smile, "There's that pretty smile," Seokjin muttered, pecking the younger's cheek. Hoseok placed a hand over the alpha's cheek, "I'm still annoyed by what you just told me..." He trailed off.

"I know...but it made me the person I am today." Seokjin smiled, and Hoseok tsked before kissing the older. Minseok was secured in Seokjin's arm, her head resting on her dad's shoulder as she drifted to sleep.

Someone cleared their throat making the couple stop whatever they were doing.

"Nice to see you two again," Hoseok felt the grip around his waist tightens. The omega flashed a tight smile, "It's also nice to see you too Matthew." Hoseok noticed the small scar on the side of Matthew's face. 'It's probably from their fight.'

Matthew smiled, "It's also nice to see you again Seokjin." Seokjin hummed in agreement, "Yeah it is, the last time I saw you was on a stretcher that isn't a very pleasant memory." Seokjin said, condescendingly, smiling at the other alpha.

You could feel the tension, it was thick and suffocating- like literally suffocating because of the two alpha's scents.

Hoseok glanced over at Myeong with pleading eyes and she seemingly got the jist of what was happening. The beta stride over, "Jin could you help your brother set up the picnic table even you Matthew- give me her- now go." Myeong said as she pushed Seokjin and Matthew.

Seokjin and Matthew walked to the picnic table.

Hoseok glanced over at Myeong, "Thank you so much."

"Don't sweat it, my dear, they are just being boys."

- -

Yoongi shakily opened the tap, sprinkling water onto his face.

He was having another episode but he didn't want to spoil Namjoon's mood, especially since they just reconciled a few hours ago.

The omega silently cried into the palm of his hands, he hated that every time he tried to have fun his past would crawl back up and haunt me after how much he tried to shove it away.

"You know not telling me is not going to help you at all Gi?" Namjoon said as he placed the large beach hat over Yoongi's head.

The omega nodded, holding onto the alpha's hanbok, "I didn't want to ruin your Chuseok."

Namjoon shook his head as he cupped his mate's face, "Your happiness means more than a holiday hyung," The older pursed his lips together.

Namjoon pecked the older's lips, "I love you and I hope you know that."

"I love you too Joon," Yoongi said, the corner of his lips slightly curling up. Namjoon grinned, "I know you want to smile Yoon. Can I see your pretty smile, pretty please?" The omega rolled his eyes, as he covered his mouth with one hand and the other pushing his husband away, "Get away from me- Namjoon!" Yoongi yelped as the alpha scooped him into his arms, bridal style.

"Smile for me Gigi," Namjoon dipped the omega who gripped at his arm, "Okay I will Joon- ah!" Namjoon dipped him down before placing him on his feet. Yoongi glared at him as he flashed a forced smile.

Namjoon was about to pester Yoongi again if it wasn't for the piercing screech that left Jungkook's small lungs as he and Mingi were roughhousing with each other.

- -

"So we are going to play Ssireum (traditional Korean wrestling) and you are going to pull out a folded piece of paper which has a colour inside and if someone has the same colour as you that will be your opponent," Sun-hee explained as she held a bowl of folded papers.

Hoseok bit the inside of the cheek, this was bad, really bad.

If Seokjin got the same colour as Matthew there was going to be a full-out fight. Everyone didn't need a fight happening right now. Hoseok watched as Seokjin pulled out a chit of paper, Minseok tried to grab it but Seokjin lifted Minseok's plushie waving it in her face.

Something about Seokjin's laid-back smile made him feel uneasy.

"I got red," Matthew announced, so much for not fighting.

"Same here," Seokjin spoke after as he lifted his paper.

The alpha handed Minseok over to Hoseok who stared at him with a stern look, "Did I do something wrong?" He asked.

"Please don't do something irrational, let today be peaceful please?" Hoseok let the words roll off his tongue. Seokjin smiled as he cupped the younger's face, "Don't worry Seok, I will play according to the rules." He pecked the omega's lips. Hoseok let out a somewhat reluctant sigh, "I trust you."

Seokjin kissed the omega's lips again making him crack into a smile.

Hoseok made his way to Yoongi who had Minseok's stroller. Minseok kicked her legs around as she drooled over the alpaca plushie in her hands. "Minnie cute," Jungkook said as he stood on his tippy toes and he peeked into the stroller. Yoongi and Hoseok couldn't help but smile.

"So did you know that Namjoon and Seokjin switched their chits?" Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows as glanced at the older.

"But no one saw..."

"They shook hands remember." Yoongi grinned as he brought his legs to his chest. Hoseok let out a sigh, he threw his head back.

"Why are they so...so much for a peaceful day," Hoseok mumbled.

Yoongi chuckled, "Anyway do you want to get something to eat?" Hoseok nodded, "Yeah, I'm starting to get hungry."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Hoseok tsked as he cleaned up the bruise on Seokjin's cheek, "So much for 'Don't worry Seok'," Hoseok mumbled. Seokjin smiled sheepishly, "But at least I didn't lose my eye."

Hoseok squinted his eyes at the alpha who looked anywhere but the omega in front of him. Hoseok continued to dress his wound, "I think that would have been better."

Seokjin gasped in disbelief, "So you would prefer I lost an eye than me having a small bruise?" Hoseok didn't look at him, still focused on the bruise, "Huh? I never said anything such thing."

Seokjin wrapped his arms tightly around the younger, "You just did a few minutes ago." A pout on his lips.

Hoseok couldn't help but coo at the older, "I didn't hyung." He squished the alpha's cheeks, "You're so cute I can't." Hoseok muttered as his eyes turned into crescents. Seokjin felt his heart beat against his chest, he pulled the omega down making them roll onto the grass, startling Myeong and Sun-hee who were seated next to them.

"What is wrong with this boy?!" Myeong hit Seokjin's head with a hand fan she had. Seokjin groaned as he tried to stop his grandma. Hoseok blushed embarrassed as he sat up.

"Stop with your nonsense, shameless young man, Aish," Myeong said as she flicked the boy's forehead.

══════꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱══════

Everyone gathered around the picnic table, taking a seat. Hoseok insisted on holding Minseok during lunch but Seokjin beat him to it. Besides that, the seating arrangement was shit because Eunsook was seated in between Seokjin and Hoseok.

Hoseok watched as Eunsook tried to start a conversation with Seokjin but was failing miserably because Minseok kept whining as she tried pushing the bottle of milk away from her mouth, "What's wrong baby?" Seokjin held the baby up, Minseok stared at her dad with glassy eyes. The pup burst out into tears. Seokjin tried calming the girl down but she cried even harder.

"She wants her mother, Eunsook can you swap seats with Hoseok?" Yoongi ask

"Why does she have to switch with Eunsook-..." Kyung-hee was cut off by Myeong, "Don't you know anything about motherhood especially since you have 2 kids, Minseok needs her mother... Now Hoseok switched seats with Eunsook."

A glint of anger flashed through Kyung-hee's eyes but reserved herself.

Hoseok switched seats with Eunsook who avoided his eyes, seemingly still embarrassed about earlier.

Everyone seemed to go back to whatever they were doing before Minseok started crying but occasionally glancing back at Hoseok who was trying to calm the pup down.

"Ssh, ssh it's okay Minnie," Hoseok took Minseok in his arms, supporting her head as she continued to cry. Hoseok tapped on Seokjin's arm, getting his attention. "Can you give me her blanket?" Seokjin nodded as he dug in the baby bag near them, he pulled out the pink but light piece of soft fabric.

The alpha handed it over to Hoseok who used it to cover the baby and his chest, Seokjin helped him tie a knot so he wouldn't hold up the blanket repeatedly as he breastfed the girl.

"Maybe she wanted to be fed by you," Seokjin muttered as he fixed the sock on Minseok's tiny foot. Hoseok hummed as he looked into the blanket, Minseok's eyes were closed as she continued to drink the milk.

"She's still latched on even though her eyes are closed," Hoseok said as he fixed his position.

Everyone began to eat, Seokjin feeding Hoseok as he was still breastfeeding the sniffling pup.

"Oh- this tastes good," Hoseok said as stared down at the container filled with some sweet yet savoury dish, "It's a family recipe, Halmeoni made it," Seokjin said giving Hoseok another bite of the dessert.

Hoseok rocked Minseok as she whimpered, "It's okay Minnie, ssh, ssh, it's okay." He looked into the blanket, Minseok continued to drink milk her fists gripping the fabric of his maternity bra.

"You're one hungry baby," Hoseok said as he fixed Minseok's head angling it properly. Minseok's tiny feet kicked against each other, "She's so cute," Jimin said as he stood next to the mother and daughter. Hoseok smiled, "I bet your pup is going to be as cute.'

Jimin smiled, "Just a few more months."

"Few months until what?" Seokjin couldn't help but ask, Namjoon nodded his head as he wanted to know too.

Jimin glanced at Taehyung who nodded his head with a reassuring smile, the beta stood up before making his way to Jimin, putting an arm around him, "Okay so you know how me and Tae are getting married-..."

"You're mated?" Minjae, Matthew's younger brother spoke up.

"Yeah we're mated do you have a problem with that?" Taehyung raised an eyebrow as he stared the alpha dead in the eye. There was something off about Taehyung's aura it was different from the shy, calm beta aura he usually had on. It was scary.

Minjae put his hands up in the air, "Don't get so worked up bro, I was just shocked." The man said. Taehyung scoffed as he rolled up the sleeves of the hanbok. Jimin shook his head, wrapping his arms around his fiancé's torso, "Anyway...Me and Tae are having a BABY!" Jimin squealed as he pulled out a sonogram photo from his pocket.

"I'm going to be a grandmother!" Jimin chuckled at his mother's shocked face. Jimin's mother walked up to her son engulfing him in a tight hug, Sun-hee following suit.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

"I don't think I can do this-..." Eunsook was cut off by Kyung-hee who turned around.

"You are going to this whether you like it or not. I never paid you for anything...We need to move into step 2 call your friend." Kyung-hee said as she pointed at Eunsook's phone.

"You can see that Seokjin isn't budging so why bother, I mean you can see his head over hills with Hoseok," Eunsook said as she crossed her arms. Kyung-hee rolled his eyes, "Don't tell me that Yoongi's words got to you?"

The younger omega looked away from Kyung-hee, "You're useless. So you can't handle a few harsh words, you are going to call your friend so we can get over and done with this. I'm going to tell everyone we're going to the hot spring." Kyung-hee looked Eunsook up and down once more before walking away from the bathroom and back to the picnic.

Eunsook let out a sigh as she looked at herself in the mirror, what did she get herself into?

At first, she was doing this as a way of getting back at Hoseok, from managing to wreck a perfectly good relationship to trying to wreck his newest relationship.

She couldn't help but realise the more Yoongi's words sunk into her head the more she realised he was right.

She was a homewrecker.

She realised that she just ruined a perfectly good relationship because of a one-sided rivalry. Hoseok hadn't done anything to her, let alone spoken to her while they were in school.

She just grew angry at the fact that the other omega had seemingly all the attention and she didn't.

Eunsook covered her mouth with her hand as she cried into her palms, she had changed. And it showed by her made-up cocky personality. This wasn't the real her, it was never her. Tears streamed down her face as she cried.

She had changed.

"Are you okay in there?" Eunsook turned around to see Hoseok by the doorway. Eunsook quickly wiped her face but stopped halfway as she realised there was no point.

"No- not really," she said admittedly.

Hoseok stepped into the bathroom, closing the bathroom behind him, oh how the tables have changed. "Do you want to speak about it?"

Eunsook furrowed her eyebrows as looked at the other, "Why do bother about how I'm doing after the horrible shit I've said to you?"
Hoseok smiled as he walked up to her, "I mean you did do some petty shit but I was taught that keeping grudges isn't the best thing in certain situations."

Eunsook nodded her head subconsciously, "I want to say I'm sorry... I'm sorry for everything. From Hanseul and now," Eunsook apologized, wiping away the tear rolling down her cheek. Hoseok opened his arms out, "Let's restart... I should thank you too because getting away from Hanseul made me find the true love of my life." Hoseok muttered as he rubbed the woman's back.

Eunsook couldn't help but smile, "I guess so."

They said like that for a bit before Eunsook spoke up again, "I guess I was bitter for no reason I-I don't know b-but I'm sorry Hoseok." Eunsook muttered.

"I forgave you a long time ago." Hoseok ran his fingers through the woman's hair.

Sometimes putting your grudges away and coming together could be the best solution.

- -

"Are we okay or..." Yoongi trailed off he stared at Eunsook who nodded. The three omegas made their way back to the picnic.

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Seokjin held Minseok who dozing off on his chest, "I love you," Seokjin said as he placed a kiss on the girl's forehead. What he didn't expect was for Minseok to lift her little head and give a small kiss back on his chin before going back to sleep.

"I swear she the cutest thing I've ever seen." Mrs. Choi commented, Seokjin smiled, "Yeah and she's my biggest blessing."

The female alpha smiled at the father and daughter duo.

"Could you boys stop roughhousing like pups and act like decent humans." Sun-hee and Myeong scolded as they passed by the pool.

Seokjin and Namjoon reluctantly separated from each other, their hair was frazzled and they had light bruises forming on their bare arms and chests.

"Sorry Halmeoni." The two alphas said in unison.

Namjoon eyes went to Jungkook who staring at him with wonder, "What's wrong Kookie?" He asked approaching the pup. Jungkook shook his head furiously before speaking up, "Wa'er owie?" The boy asked. Namjoon shook his head, "Jungkook water isn't dangerous- you've been swimming before bubba?"

"Mama don' wike wa'er?" Namjoon made an 'oh' face, scooping the pup into his arms. "Mummy just doesn't like a lot of things one of them being water." He explained, slowly moving in the water with Jungkook.

Jungkook pouted in thought before speaking up again, "Wike Nini?"

The father chuckled softly, Jungkook mentioning their newest pet cat was so random but true. "Yes like Midnight... Mama is like a cat."

The toddler's eyes grew wide with the new information, Namjoon knew he was going to get a whole lot of slaps to the back and it was all worth it if he just got to see Jungkook call his mum a cat.

"Mama cat, wike Nini." Jungkook announced, looking at his father proudly. Namjoon smiled before kissing his pup's head.

-

Minseok grunted as she rubbed her eyes as Seokjin picked her up from the stroller, he held to his chest, covering her with a towel to protect her skin from the sun.

"You're so small Minnie." Seokjin muttered as he let the pup hold his finger. He roamed around the area with the his daughter, he reached the pool chair. His phone buzz with a notification, he carefully picked it up making sure Minseok is secured in his arm.

He switched the phone on.

Kim Seokjin spotted at airport with secret family!

Seokjin sighed tossing the phone onto the pool chair, "You know Minnie people are annoying at times." He said looking down at his daughter who blinked owlishly before turning her attention to something behind him.

Seokjin felt a pair of arms wrap around his torso, "Hi there." Seokjin smiled at the familiar voice. He looked over his shoulder only for his view of Hoseok to be blocked by the beach hat he was wearing.

"I can barely see you with that hat on." He informed as he tried to remove the hat, only to get his hand swatted away.

"That's what I want." Hoseok stated as he lifted his head to face his boyfriend who smiled at him endearingly. Hoseok was wearing one of Seokjin's over-sized long sleeved tops and one of his swimming trunks, he looked cute in his clothes.

"You're adorable Little Seok." He said as he fixed Minseok who let out a small cry.

Hoseok blushed, "Stop flirting with me dude." He pushed Seokjin's face away from his view. The alpha chuckled as he moved to hand over Minseok to Hongjoong who wanted to hold the pup.

"So no flirting, I guess I just have to tell you straight up," Seokjin hummed as moved to wrap his arms around the omega.

Seokjin hugged him from behind as they stood in the shade.

"Tell me what now- don't tell me did something bad." Hoseok said about to continue if it wasn't for kiss planted on his scent gland.

"I found it... what did you you want to say?" Seokjin asked, kissing the gland making Hoseok giggle at ticklish feeling. "St-stop that, it-it tickles Jin-ah!" He wheezed in between laughs.

The younger tried to get out of the older's arms but there was no use.

"I want things to stay this way for ever, just me and you and Minnie." Hoseok's giggling frenzy died down, a soft smile left on his face. "Me too Jin."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Yoongi cradled Jungkook in his arms, the two year old, drinking from his bottle. He used a shawl to cover himself and his pup from the sun.

"You're so worn out my baby." He muttered, Jungkook blinked, his doe eyes drooping as sleep slowly took over.

The omega smiled but he noticed how the shawl was starting to rise, he quickly pulled it down.

He was wearing a pair of trunks but his upper body was exposed which made him feel uncomfortable. Before he arrived, he was okay and pretty sure he'd be able to handle showing some skin but here he was again trying to cover up every bit of skin.

And now his uncomfortability seemingly increased as he noticed how a random man -who had been standing close to the area two families were hanging out in- had been staring at him. Maybe it was a saseng but still.

He didn't like it.

His whole body tensed up as the memories began to fill his head, starting from the moment the conversation in the study.

"Can you take care of Jungkook for me, I'm going to toilet." He asked Taehyung who nodded, carefully taking the sleeping pup into his arms.

"Tae..." Jungkook muttered as his slightly opened eyes shutting closed. Yoongi began to beeline to the bathroom, passing by Namjoon who called his name only to get ignored.

The second memory, the drunken night's, his uncle coming into his room and staring at him as he slept.

The omega felt an arm wrap around his wrist, it felt rough and sweaty, disgustingly sweaty. Like his uncle's, he turned around, his eyes moving up from the calloused hand to the man's face.

"I think I've seen you on TV." The man spoke up, his eyes staring all over his body with some hidden intent. Yoongi began to panic,"No you haven't, please let me go."

The omega tried to wiggle his hand out the man's wrist, who's toxic scent began to fill his nostrils, making him gag.

The third memory: teenage Yoongi cried in pain as his uncle continued to force himself on the young omega. Yoongi knew he was bleeding because this was first time and instead of it being something special, he was left with the memory of him writhing in pain as his very own uncle raped him.

Yoongi hadn't noticed the piercing scream that had left his mouth until he felt someone pull him back. It was Hoseok, who held close while Namjoon dragged the man away.

All eye were on them, some worried, some startled and some having the absolute audacity to judge.

It wasn't long until Kyung-hee arrived, her face contorted into a scowl. "Why are screaming on the top of your lungs?"

Yoongi stared at Kyung-hee with disbelief, his which were brimming with tears.

"You're always being a drama queen-..."

Yoongi let out a broken laugh as he moved himself away from Hoseok's embrace,"So these are your true colours."

Kyung-hee rolled his eyes,"Here you go, I knew you were just an attention seeker."  She said, looking Yoongi up and down.

"Mom-..." Seokjin said but was cut off by his mother who held a hand up. "I'm still speaking Seokjin. If you weren't desperate for attention-..."

Yoongi clicked his tongue, his feline like eyes filled with tears as he rised a finger and pointed at his mother in-law, his hands shaking, "This time I won't take your insults Kyung-hee. What attention am I looking for? Huh?! You ruined my wedding, calling me a-a infertile omega, saying I was never going to be good enough for your... your fucking perfect son. I know how much he loves you and I didn't tell him anything, from the wedding until now because I love him so much and I know how fucking much he loves his mother, he worships you. Do you want to know why I'm not able to conceive? Do want to know I'm not good enough?!"

At this point everyone was staring, Hoseok tried to calm Yoongi down but the older omega ignored him. Jungkook's crying filled the background as Hongjoong and Jimin were trying to calm down and Mingi holding the sleeping Minseok.

Kyung-hee's eyes stared into Yoongi's bloodshot ones, Yoongi was at his breaking point and all it took was a "Why?" from Kyung-hee to finally break him.

"I was raped by my own uncle, my father's brother who raised me as his own! My own fucking flesh and blood!"

Hoseok clasped his hand over his mouth, suppressing a choked sob. Myeong and Sun-hee stared at Yoongi with disbelief. The place was dead quiet. Seokjin's face was painted with shock.

Yoongi let out a bitter chuckle, it sounded broken, no emotion, "You didn't expect that did you, huh Kyung-hee?"

Yoongi turned to look in the direction where Namjoon stood, his face pale. Yoongi stared at his husband, a fresh, new pair of tears welling up in his eyes. Namjoon had heard everything, every single bit of it.

"I'm going to book a hotel and--and I'm taking Jungkook with." Yoongi said, tearing his eyes from his mate's.  The omega walked passed Kyung-hee and the rest of the family.

"I'll go with, just to make sure he is ok." Hoseok muttered as he followed Yoongi. Seokjin's eyes followed Hoseok who disappeared behind the wall, Mingi, Hongjoong and Jimin gone already with the pups.

The alpha's eyes drifted to his younger brother, who was still frozen in his spot. He decided to be the one to snap him out of his frozen state.

Seokjin shuffled closer to Namjoon, putting a hand on his shoulder. The younger alpha shook his hand off, "So this is why Yoongi was always hesitant on come to Chuseok or to see you." He spoke, his voice laced with realisation.

"Joon-..."

"There's no Joon, Mom! You know how much I love Yoongi and you... how could you? He's been nothing but good to you, and you want to insult him with out asking why he can't have kids. How could you? You're a monster- a fucking monster!" Namjoon growled, he took a few steps closer to his mother.

Kyung-hee knew that this wasn't the dimply pup that she had given birth to, it wasn't the pup who had cried for 4 days straight after he presented saying he didn't want to grow. This was Kim Namjoon, Yoongi's husband, a father and he was angry.

"I'm sorry-..."

"There's no point! Yoongi might not even want see my face just because of you. God I wish it wasn't Appa who had to die, I wish it was you. I fucking hate you." Namjoon's chest heaved as hot tears spilled from his eyes.

Seokjin understood Namjoon's anger but the last bits were a bit too much, even for him. He knew that he didn't like his mother but he loved her to bits and knowing his little brother, he didn't mean it.

"Woah, let's go Joon." Seokjin said as he pulled his brother close, who nodded wiping his eyes as they walk away for the scene.

Kyung-hee turned to look up but was only met with a tight slap, it was Myeong. "You're an embarrassment to our family."

꒰˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚꒱

Jungkook was fast asleep on the bed as Yoongi hurriedly packed up his and Jungkook's luggage. Yoongi quickened his pace, hearing loud footsteps running up the steps at toward the room.

"Yoongi-Where are you going?" Namjoon asked, sounding breathless. Yoongi didn't respond continuing to pack his bags, "Yoongi answer me, please. Where are you going-..." Namjoon pulled the suitcase away from the omega. 

"Leave me the fuck alone Namjoon- I'm getting away from your mum." Yoongi said as he pulled the suitcase back, his back facing the alpha. Namjoon had to do something, so he held Yoongi's wrist and turned him around, struggling as Yoongi thrashed around, "Don't leave, at least let Jungkook stay Yoon- look at me please..."

"No, he is my pup and I won't have him stay another night here with your mum and let me go!" Yoongi screamed, trying to push Namjoon away.

Now Jungkook had woken up and seeing his parents shouting and screaming so loudly caused him to have a meltdown.

Now Jungkook was crying, loudly. "Yoongi-..." Namjoon was pulled back by Seokjin as he saw Yoongi lift up the lamp on the nightstand, "I'll will not hesitate to throw this at you. I'm leaving with Jungkook and you can't do anything about it." Yoongi seethed, as he pointed the lamp at Namjoon's who stared at him with wide eyes.

Yoongi lowered the lamp and zipped the suitcase, moving it to the floor before moving to hoist a sobbing Jungkook into his arms. The omega walked passed the two brothers, Jungkook was still crying but he called out to Namjoon, confused on why his daddy wasn't following with.

"Daddy!" Jungkook hiccuped, Yoongi only rubbed his back as he walked down the stairs. Yoongi saw Hoseok standing by the door, his pup in his arms. "I'm coming with you, I don't care if you say no." Hoseok asserted, Yoongi scanned the younger omega's face, Hoseok had cried too.

Hoseok could relate to Yoongi in some way.

The two omegas left, Seokjin and Namjoon watching them through the window of the house.

"...You make me the happiest man alive and I'll be so glad if I get to spend the rest of this lifetime and grow old with you Yoongi. Will you marry me?" Namjoon asked, holding the band of the ring in his hands, tightly. (He had managed to break the gemstone in half and remove it completely off the ring.)

Yoongi smiled, his eyes filled with tears as he nodded his head furiously, "Yes, fuck yes." He cried as through himself into the alpha's arms, wrapping his arms around his neck, holding him tightly as if he'd disappear.

"I love you, I love you, I love you." Namjoon chanted as he stood up, spinning his now fiancé around. Yoongi giggled as he held his now fiancé, screaming as they went toppling down onto the carpet because Namjoon had tripped over Midnight -their cat-.

Yoongi laughed even harder, "God I love you Namjoon." He said, looking at the alpha who stared at him with rose-tinted cheeks and a shy smile. "I love you too Yoongi."

2 years went by with them preparing for their wedding, moving in together, Yoongi and Namjoon painting and decorating the house according to their likes. Meeting Yoongi's parents- was that frightening, Namjoon was stuttering and shaking in front of Yoongi's dad.

"Are you sure he is the one?" Yoongi hit his father's chest, making the man chuckle, his deep laughter roaring through the house.

Namjoon was tangled up in Christmas lights as Miya and Sakura, his nieces ( His brother married a Japanese woman, a beta.) tried untangling him. Yoongi flashed a soft smile in Namjoon's way, in return getting the beautiful dimple smile he loved.

"He is the one," Yoongi affirmed, looking back at his dad, who smiled at him. For a man with a gangster background,, tattoos, and a scar through his eye, he was a great father.

"But if he hurts you, I will not hesitate to..."
Yoongi's father was cut off by his mom who hit his forehead.

"You'll be spending your next sentence without visitors, " his mother said, handing Midnight to her son.
Yoongi giggled at his father who pouted, only to get whacked once more by his mother.

They met with Namjoon's family- well it was more like a pack because wow.

Yoongi had never seen so many people standing on the estate's porch, watching his every move. They seemed so posh, and that proved his point when he saw a bunch of gifts piling up in the corner of the room.

"I've never received so many gifts in my life," Yoongi whispered as he stared at the pile of gifts. Namjoon chuckled awkwardly, wrapping his arms around his fiancé, "Welcome to my family, they always believe that first impressions are important."

"I can see that." Yoongi nodded, placing his hands over Namjoon's. They stood quietly in the room, swaying slowly before Namjoon started humming a song, he was working on.

"Is that the song you're working on?" Yoongi asked as he turned around. Namjoon nodded, holding Yoongi tightly, "It's just a tune that has been stuck in my head for a while."

Yoongi circled his arms around Namjoon's neck, "It sounds good, really good." A breathy chuckle left Namjoon's lips, "You think so? -Yoongi nodded-... How about I name 'How much I love Yoongi.'?"

Yoongi rolled his eyes, "You're so corny."

"I can't help it, I'm getting married in a few months," Namjoon whispered as he leaned in for a kiss. Yoongi cupped his face meeting him halfway.

"Joon-samchon! Your dog is very weird- You're kissing!- ew!"

Yoongi laughed, closing his eyes, "She's adorable." Yoongi said as he watched Jiwoo try to pet Midnight, who looked pissed off. Midnight raised her hand, her claws coming out, "Midnight, that's a baby, bad kitty." Yoongi scolded the cat who meowed.

Yoongi had met all the family, but he found it hard to remember everyone. He did like Sun-hee. She wasn't Namjoon's biological grandmother but the sister of his biological grandmother. Sun-hee was different. She was like a teenager stuck in a grandma's body—the way she spoke, the way she joked—just everything.

"Ah you're so small, how do you even manage?" It took Yoongi a few seconds to understand what she meant but once he did, he flushed red. A sex joke.

"Sun-hee! Leave the boy alone." Myeong, Namjoon's biological grandmother, said as she handed Yoongi another bowl of japchae.

Myeong was the more serious sister, but she seemed to have a soft spot for h;m; she often complimented him.

At lunch time Yoongi and the rest of the omegas and betas in the family were making dumplings.

"This recipe was passed down from generation to generation and I hope you can pass it down to yours," Myeong said as she placed an already-made dumpling in Yoongi's hand. Yoongi flashed a sad smile, "I don't think I could do that as you see I'm you know."

Myeong's eyes grew wide, but she nodded her head in understanding. "Don't worry about that right now. We have a whole lot of pups in this family, " the older beta said, looking pointedly at Jiwoo, who was pouting and crossing her arms, glaring at the broken dumpling.

Yoongi was about to walk over to the pup if it wasn't for Kyung-hee storming out of the room abruptly.

After the long day, Yoongi found himself huddled up in his fiancé's arms.

"Hey, Joon."

"Yes?"

Yoongi glanced up at Namjoon, whose eyes were already on him. "Do you ever think we could have a kid of our own?"

Namjoon's lips pursed together, "Well I wouldn't have it any other way, if it's just me and you, I'll love you regardless or even if we adopt." The alpha stated, running his fingers through the omega's hair. "I love you too," Yoongi muttered. Namjoon smiled as leaned down, pressing his lips against Yoongi's for a bit before pulling away.

The next day Yoongi decided to help with making breakfast.

"You are good at cooking," Myeong commented as she watched Yoongi plate the bibimbap. "He really is halmeoni," Namjoon said dreamily as he stared at Yoongi. 

Yoongi smiled shyly as he placed a pair of chopsticks on the side of the bowl. A second had passed before Namjoon stood behind Yoongi, his arms wrapped around the omega.

"Jungkook is fast asleep," Hoseok spoke up as he walked into the room, cradling Minseok in his arms. Yoongi hummed as he continued to stare blankly at the TV which was playing some old drama. When they arrived at the motel Jungkook was full-on sobbing and throwing a tantrum causing a lot of commotion and if it continued any longer people would realise that Yoongi, aka AgustD, was here with his child. So Hoseok made Yoongi take Minseok and sit in the car while Hoseok dealt with Jungkook. It was pretty easy to get Jungkook to calm down.

Hoseok climbed onto the bed, sitting down next to Yoongi, criss-cross so he could place Minseok in his lap. The two omegas watched as Minseok yawned her tiny fingers curling into fists, Hoseok smiled as he patted Minseok's tummy softly, coaxing the pup into sleep. "She's adorable," Yoongi commented, quietly. 

Hoseok hummed in agreement, "She's used to Seokjin putting her to sleep." Hoseok commented. 

"Jungkook often wakes up at night to come to sleep with me and Joon, it was scary at first but now it's just cute," Yoongi added, his lips curling into a small smile, Hoseok smiled too. The two omegas sit in silence, the sound of the TV providing background noise. 

"I feel so bad- I'm sorry," Yoongi said again, glancing at the young omega who shook his head. "You don't need to say sorry for something so reasonable. Kyung-hee had no right to say that or anything about you." Hoseok stated, releasing calming pheromones. The older omega nodded, folding his legs and bringing his knees to his chest.

"Did Namjoon call or text?" Yoongi asked. Hoseok hummed, "He has, several times including when I put Jungkook to bed."

"I should have just spoken to him instead of lashing out at him and taking Kookie with me. They are probably having a hard time," Yoongi sighed, nuzzling his face into his knees. 

Hoseok reached out and put a hand over Yoongi's back, rubbing it. "How about you get some rest, and we'll think of something tomorrow? OK, hyung?" Yoongi nodded, sniffling quietly.

- -

"Hey, how are things on your side?" Hoseok asked, his phone pressed to his ear with his shoulder, his hands rocking Minseok who had woken up. The omega could hear the alpha sigh through the other end of the phone, "Namjoon is still mad and won't speak to anyone. Everyone is still in shock and me, I miss you and Minseok, so it's bad." Seokjin said. Hoseok giggled quietly, "I miss you too hyung and Minseok, she's just been waking up." 

Hoseok heard Seokjin knock on a door before entering. "And how about Yoongi and Jungkook? Are they doing alright?" 

Hoseok glanced behind him where Yoongi and Jungkook were sleeping, Jungkook was in his arms, his head tucked under Yoongi's chin, "He has calmed down- I'll send you the address of the motel." 

Hoseok could hear a thud coming from the other side while Seokjin snickered, it was probably Namjoon. Hoseok couldn't help but smile, "But on one condition, pick up some breakfast on your way here-..."Hoseok flinched at the loud shout.

"We will! We will, just please send the address." Namjoon toned down his voice.

Hoseok smiled softly, "I will."

Hoseok woke to Jungkook tapping his side softly, "Hoseokie, Minseokie crying." Jungkook whispered. Hoseok quietly got to his feet. As he switched on the bedside table lamp, he glanced over to where Yoongi was still fast asleep.

Hoseok hovered over Minseok's portable crib, and the pup's legs were jerky as small cries left her mouth. The omega quickly picked up Minseok, cradling his sweet baby girl in his arms, rocking her slowly. "Are you missing Daddy, huh, sweetie? I miss him too," Hoseok whispered as he pressed a soft kiss over Minseok's forehead, her cries turning into soft whimpers, her tiny hands curling into fists against the silky material of his shirt.

"I miss Daddy." Hoseok turned his head to Jungkook, who was standing on the bed, his lips turned into a sad pout. Hoseok felt his heart crack at the sight. "I know you do, and so does your mommy."

Jungkook sniffled, rubbing his nose, "But Mama and Daddy were screaming, and Mama was crying." The pup was now crying softly, his tiny fists wiping his tears. Hoseok balanced Minseok on his one arm and used his now free hand to pull the pup into a small, tight side hug. Hoseok patted the boy's back, "It's going to be okay, Kookie. Your mommy and daddy were just having a tiny problem." Hoseok said as he pressed a kiss to the pup's head. Jungkook sniffled as he cried into Hoseok's shirt.

'They should be outside by now.' Hosoek thought to himself, humming quietly into Jungkook's hair while rocking Minseok.

-

"Relax, everything is going to be okay," Seokjin tried to comfort his younger brother, seated in the passenger seat. They had just arrived at Hoseok's address and decided to rest a bit, given that they had spent the whole night driving there.

Namjoon hummed as he bounced his leg up and down and fidgeted with his wedding ring. Seokjin sighed as he leaned back against the seat. Comforting the comforter was a very odd feeling to say. Namjoon had always been there for Seokjin. From those times he'd come home from getting bullied up to the time he had been depressed, the younger was always there with comforting words and open arms for him. It was new.

"Do you think Yoongi will ever forgive me?" Namjoon asked, his voice almost a whisper.

If this were a different situation, Seokjin would have taken it upon himself to hit Namjoon's forehead as his way of answering the question, but right now...Namjoon looked like he was falling apart.

"Yes," Seokjin responded as he glanced over at his younger brother. "It wasn't your fault this whole situation took place."

"I promised him I'd never let him get hurt and look at us now-..."

"You didn't hurt him. Umma had picked at him so much, and he finally exploded. You aren't at fault here, Joon, not Yoongi, only Umma, but what you said about Umma was a little bit too much even for me." Seokjin said, admittedly. Namjoon let out a soft sigh, "I didn't mean it. I was just angry because why would she say all those things to Yoongi?"

Seokjin tilted his head as he thought back to his childhood. Namjoon was probably too young to remember all this, but their dad had some bad habits that could almost seem abusive, like drinking until he was drunk and throwing stuff when he was angry or frustrated, but after their mother fell pregnant again, he miraculously stopped.

"She also probably had her reasons, but I'm not saying whatever she said was true, but sometimes people go through things that wire their brains to believe certain things," Seokjin explained as he looked through the windscreen of the car at the motel roo,m which was lit up as small cries rang through the quiet morning. 

Namjoon hummed as he leaned back against the car seat, his body no longer tense as it was before.

They sat in silence as they watched the lit-up motel, their eyes going to the door, where a small figure emerged from the room. It was Jungkook, shortly followed by Hoseok, who was holding Minseok in his arms.

"Let's go," Seokjin said as he patted Namjoon's shoulder before exiting the car.

-

Yoongi stared at Namjoon, who was standing by the door, his hands curled into fists. Namjoon wanted to hold Yoongi; he wanted to hug him, touch him, kiss him- he just wanted to be with him. Even though it's been only a night since they were separated, it felt like aeons to him.

And especially now, when Yoongi looked so vulnerable, his eyes puffy from crying and his face red from sleep.

"I'm sorry." Namjoon let the words slip from his lips, coming out much more shaky than intended.

Yoongi looked taken aback, but he still whispered, "Joon-ah." His voice was soft, the softest he had heard and as much as he would love to indulge in that, he had to fix this mess.

"I'm sorry, I never paid attention to. I'm sorry for always nagging you to come along despite your constant refusal. I'm so sorry." Namjoon concluded, his head lowered as he stared at his feet.

Yoongi pursed his lips together, his eyes welling up with unshed tears, "I'm sorry for lashing out at you-..."

"You had every right to." Namjoon cut off.

Yoongi laughed softly, "But still, it's not your fault." The omega placed a hand under Namjoon's, softly lifting it till their eyes met. The alpha's eyes were swollen and red from the lack of sleep. Yoongi's heart ached at the sight.

This was his husband, the father of his child, his co-worker, but most importantly, his best friend, his confidant, the love of his life. They had got over every obstacle life had thrown their way, and they could get over this one.

"I love y-you," Yoongi whispered, his voice cracking slightly. He moved his hand from Namjoon's jaw to his cheek, cupping it as he brushed his thumb over the apple of his cheek.

Namjoon leaned into the touch, closing his eyes, "I love you so much."
