Jungkook has gone on international trip on just a few days ago with heavy heart missing his beloved.
At first few days, they did everything right.
Jungkook called every night and talk to jin for hours every free time he gets.
Different time zones didn't matter. He would sit on the edge of a hotel bed, still half in stage makeup, hair damp from a rushed shower and would video call jin immediately.
"Did you eat?" Jin would ask.
"Yes i did honey" jungkook said and made a kissy face to jin.
"Properly sweety?" jin smiled.
"…Mostly." jungkook gave jin flying kiss through screen.
Jin would sigh, and Jungkook would grin like he could see it through the screen but jin would return the kiss with passion.
Jin would show him the city lights outside his window. Jungkook would flip the camera to show rehearsal stages, empty arenas before soundcheck and also he dont forget to show his sexy body and lick his lips. But jin in return would just innocently show himself wearing shorts and loose tshirt hanging and showing skin that would jungkook go completely wild.
"Next time," Jungkook promised once, "you're coming with me i miss you so much."
Jin smiled softly.
"Next time promise and i miss you too."
For a while, it felt manageable. Distance was inconvenient. But Not dangerous for them.
Then suddenly things started to change as jungkook started to get more busy.
Calls shifted from nightly to every other night. Then to voice notes.
Then to:Sorry, rehearsal ran late.I'll call tomorrow.I'm exhausted i am sleeping now.
Jin understood. He truly did.
He watched Jungkook's stages online, saw how he commanded crowds alone now. How his name echoed without the others. How fans screamed like he belonged to the entire world.
Jin felt proud. And something else. But thats not gonna stop them from loving each other they knew they still loved each other the same as they did before and he still remember that after there disaband they are finally going to let world know about their love.
Jin will wait for jungkook no matter what.
Taehyung and Jimin had begun spending more time out together , low-key dinners, "work meetings" that lasted suspiciously long. Yoongi was almost always in his studio now. Hoseok traveled frequently for choreography projects. Namjoon had started disappearing into libraries.
Everyone was building something they wanted before there end of term as bts.
Jin stayed busy too, modeling meetings, investment plans with Taehyung, brand discussions.
But the nights felt long and lonely without jungkook. The first night they didn't speak at all, Jin told himself it was fine it was normal for lovers to be away sometimes.
Time zones. Fatigue. Schedules.
The second night, he checked his phone more than he wanted to admit.
The third night, there was only a short message.
Sorry. Dead tired. Talk soon.
Jin stared at it longer than necessary.
He typed:
Proud of you. Sleep well i miss you so much.
The exhaustion started subtly.
Jin blamed it on work and didnt mind at all.
Photoshoots were long and was taking forever. Fittings required hours of standing under bright lights.
But the tiredness felt different.
He began waking with a strange nausea and vomiting in the mornings. Food tasted wrong some days and some smelled bed too. His head felt heavy, like he hadn't slept even after eight hours as he felt more tired then before.
He didn't tell anyone about his sickness.
Not Jungkook, who was already overwhelmed and busy in his own.
Not even any of the members, who were building their own futures.
One morning, during a brand meeting, the room tilted slightly he shooked but stilled himself.
Jin gripped the edge of the table and smiled through it.
"I'm fine, just tripped a little" he said when someone asked.
But he wasn't okay at all his head wad buzzing and spinning the whole time.
It was Mr. Lee who noticed it.
"You look pale are you okay," he said quietly one evening after dropping him off.
"I'm just tired this days the shift is taking a toll on me i think."
Mr. Lee studied him.
"You're more than tired you should rest more."
For the first time since Jungkook left, his composure cracked slightly.
"I don't want anyone to worry,hyung i can take care of myself" he admitted.
Mr. Lee's expression softened and he smile a little.
"You are included in 'everyone,' you know that" he said gently.
The next morning, before any schedules began, Mr. Lee drove him to a private hospital without anyone noticing them.
No managers informed.No headlines.No members notified. nothing at all.
Just them going to hospital for casual checkup.
The waiting room smelled sterile and too bright he wanted to puke by the smell but maintained himself.
Jin sat down quietly, hands folded in his lap waiting for the doctor h was really nervous and sick of sickness.
He hadn't told Jungkook about his health.
He didn't want to distract him before a major overseas performance and he would be worried about him and blame himself for not takin care of him.
I'll tell him if it's serious,but i would be fine i know he told himself.
Tests were done. Blood drawn. Quiet conversations behind closed doors.
The doctor returned with a careful expression and a answer for jin.
"Mr. Kim," he began softly.
Jin straightened himself as doctor started. The words that followed felt distant at first. Like they were spoken underwater and not real at all.
Hormone levels changing. Unusual markers with his health. and a Early-stage pregnancy.
Jin blinked.
"I'm sorry," he said faintly. "What?"
The doctor repeated it gently.
Very early. But it certain. And very real. but it didnt felt real to him.
The room went silent.
Mr. Lee stood very still beside him expression still.
Jin's mind raced to back timing. The night before Jungkook left for his solo project. The way he'd been feeling this days.
His hand moved unconsciously to his stomach without realizing he caressed softly there.
its not showing yet. Not even visible. But its all real.
Shock came first because it was something he did not expect to happen. Then fear because he was not with jungkook yet.
Then something deeper something fragile and terrifying and overwhelming.
Jin swallowed.
"Is it… healthy?" he asked quietly.
"So far, yes," the doctor replied. "But you'll need monitoring."
Monitoring.
Schedules.
Public life.
Jungkook overseas.
The world spun again — slower this time.
When they stepped outside into the cool morning air, Jin didn't speak immediately. The happiness he felt has overwhelmed everything for him and he was excited.
Mr. Lee waited for him to recover.
"You can tell me what you need, i will help" Mr. Lee said gently.
Jin looked down at his hands.
"I don't know yet but i am fine."
His voice trembled slightly the first crack.
"But I haven't even told him I'm sick and we didnt really to talk much this days."
Mr. Lee's gaze softened in a way it rarely did.
"You don't have to decide everything today you can take your time to process everything."
Jin nodded slowly. His phone buzzed in his pocket.
it was a message from Jungkook.
Big show tonight. Wish me luck.
Jin stared at the screen for a second.
His chest tightened painfully.
He typed:
You don't need luck. You're ready.
He paused.
Then added:
Call me when you can.
He didn't say why.
He didn't say that everything had just changed.
He slipped the phone back into his pocket and looked out at the city.
The world looked exactly the same.
Cars passing.
People rushing.
Sun rising.
But inside him, something impossible and irreversible had begun.
And Jungkook didn't know yet.
