Paternity (Kim Taehyung [V])

Chapter 1

Evelyn (Evie)

"We have to find him." I roll my eyes once again at my over dramatic friend who probably has had this drilled into her head since last week. Which is the length of time it's been since the results and how long she's held in these ideas of hers. "We can get my dad to buy our plane tickets and we'll meet him in Japan." I sigh and continue to write my essay for English.

"What book did you read this time?" She quirks her eyebrow then thinks about it. "One about a cowboy's last chance to have a kid with a girl he doesn't even know. But that's not the point."

"Jackie," I sigh. "I don't want to do this. I don't want to ruin his life with this situation, nor do I want him to know. Besides, I have essays to finish and projects to turn in." Now it's her turn to roll her eyes. "The semester just began. The only essay you have is that one and the project you have to turn in is already complete. All you have to do is present. We'll be back before you know it." I huff. "So you want me to show up in Japan, no information on the kid whatsoever and tell him I'm pregnant?" She nods enthusiastically with a huge smile. I can't help but laugh at the ridiculous idea. "Come on! It's perfect!"

"No. You're insane. Aren't you the one that tells me I should never skip class?"

"How about spring break? Your doctor's appointment is next week. We can ask if you're allowed to fly! And then we'll go and be back before you know it." Her huge smile falters then she frowns. "But by then, you'd have entered your second trimester. You won't be able to fly by then. We have to do this now!"

"Jackie. We can't just drop everything and leave."

"I'll ask dad to cheat us through the attendance—"

"We can't use your dad's exclusive power to help us cheat through college to go on this trip." I shut my laptop. "I just don't want you to go through this with one person. Me being the only one by your side. And from what I read about him, he likes kids." I look at her and smirk.
"Did my problem actually make you research them?"

She blushes and shakes her head. "I did it because you're my friend." My smirk grows wider. "Lies."

She grumbles and crosses her arms. "So we doing this or nah?" I sigh and close my laptop. "Fine. But FYI, my appointment is tomorrow not next week."

Her eyes widen along with her smile. "Excellent! We leave Friday morning at 3 and we'll be there in 18 hours." She slams the place ticket onto the desk and smiles wide. I grab it and look at the information. "Jackie!" I exclaim, incredulously. She smiles.

"Love you," she blows a kiss my way and skips off to class. I look once again, at the plane ticket. 

Japan. 

V. 

Me. 

Pregnant. 

I sigh and open my laptop, saving the work on my essay and typing his name in the search bar.

His picture pops up, along with a lot of information about him. That night was more than blurry, but somehow, his voice was as clear as the sky. We were both drunk. I don't even think he knew my name. I never told him what it was. He asked but I forgot to mention it. I only knew his because it was on a flyer for the event we went to. He probably doesn't even remember me or where I'm from. Where we did what we did. He wasn't around when I woke up in the hotel room I stayed at in New York. It was New Year's Day and he had left before I even awoke. Did he look back at me before he left? Does he even remember that night and everything we... experienced?

I wipe my forehead with the sleeve of my jacket as we finish our last exercise of the day before leaving to pack. I grab the water bottle from my duffel bag and down it quickly, wiping the excess from the corner of my mouth. "V!" Hosi calls, knocking me out of a trance I wasn't aware I was in. I look at him through the mirror then look away. The usual cheery and jumpy hyung, walks towards me with a concerned expression. "What's wrong?" I furrow my eyebrows and shake my head. "I mean, usually you're quiet but this time, there wasn't even emotion. What's bothering you?"

That's the problem. That's why I can't seem to concentrate on anything. I've been like a lifeless robot. I woke up with this feeling in my stomach. A constant cringing that won't stop bothering me. It's not a bad feeling... but it's not a good one either. I called my family this morning. Everyone was fine. My friends are fine. They're families are fine. So why do I feel this constant cringing in my stomach as if something is about to happen?

"It's this feeling..." I start, placing my bag over my shoulder and walk out the practice room. Everyone else is walking ahead of us, pushing and shoving each other playfully. "I woke up with it and it won't go away. It makes me feel like something's coming. I'm not sure if it's good or bad. But it feels like neither."

"Maybe it's up to you to choose whether that thing will be good or bad." I bite my lip and nod slowly. "But what could it be?"

"Maybe the feeling will go away when you see something... or maybe you're just hungry." My mouth forms a straight line, the creases in my forehead forming. "Maybe." He pats my back before leaving to his room with the other hyungs. I step into my room with the maknaes already beginning to pack up their things. They look at me and smile, greeting me and asking the same question J-Hope asked me on our way here. I just answered with a, "I'm tired."

Tired of this constant self pity and drowning in a mistake for no reason. It was just one girl, man. One night. So why is it bugging me? I stayed up half the night thinking about it. I tried to make out everything I could remember. Every aspect of what went on. How we met. Where we went. Where we did... what we did. That I could remember. And it was obvious it was her first time.

As it was mine.

We had a few hours to spare so we decided to play with Nerf guns in the hotels hallway while our manager called us down to leave. I pushed the feeling away every time I could. Even though each time it would return stronger than ever. Right when our manager steps out of the elevator, I attempt to shoot at Suga when he makes fun of my aiming, and hit our manager straight in the nose. I wince and start laughing hard when he takes one of our guns and begins to shoot me. He misses but it's still funny.

"Alright lets go." I walk to my room, grab my bag and the feeling returns. I get the sudden urge to cry. Something I never get. Why am I feeling this way ever since she was brought up? Did she die? Is she... hung up on me or whatever? Did I hurt her that bad? I wish I hadn't left that morning but I had no choice. We weren't supposed to leave till the morning after. Unfortunately there was a change of plans. I had managed to escape and the guys covered enough for me. So I just got up and left.

"Taehyung!" I jerk my head away from the window and giving them a blank expression. I smile wide, blushing in embarrassment because we have arrived at the airport and I had no idea. Jungkook sings a song and I get the urge to dance. Dancing always helps. I sing along with him and we both get so hyped, we walk into the airport doing the goofiest moves. I wrap an arm around Kookie and walk towards security.

Japan.

Here we come.

This is the last of Taehyung's POV at this point until later in the story.

Love You all...

TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!
