"Wow, so you own a flower shop? That's so cool! Compared to hyung who is just a basic businessman." The youngest around the table exclaimed, giving his older brother a side eye, making the said man scoff.
"Correction, I'm the youngest self-made millionaire in the country. And how much money do you make again? Oh that's right, none." Jeongguk spat back, a glaring contest starting between the two brothers, Taehyung right in the middle and giggling at the bickering.
"Would you like some wine, bear?" Taehyung's gaze flicked towards Mrs. Jeon, eyes slightly widening as she was about to pour some into his still empty wineglass.
"Oh, no thank you..I'm good." He chuckled awkwardly and waved his hand as in implying he was okay.
"You won't even have one glass?" Mrs. Jeon raised an eyebrow, a bit confused as to why the other hadn't had anything except water the whole evening.
Taehyung gulped, unsure of what to answer. However, Jeongguk quickly intervened, seeing the nervous expression on the blond's face.
"Mom, he can't have alcohol." The ravenette uttered, though it only made his mother more confused.
"Why is that? You're not sick are you? You're taking good care of your health right?" She bent over the table and felt his forehead to see if he had a fever, but his temperature seemed completely normal.
Taehyung glanced at Jeongguk, who seemed somewhat unsure what to say as well.
"Well then what is it? You two are acting strange. Is there something going on?" The woman narrowed her eyes at the couple, who were both awkwardly looking everywhere but at her.
"Mom, he just doesn't drink alcohol. Let's just enjoy the food, yeah?" Jeongguk smiled at his mom, who wanted to protest, but decided not to press further.
"Maybe he is pregnant." Soobin mumbled under his breath, more like a joke, nonetheless, both Taehyung and Jeongguk halted in their actions, Taehyung almost choking on his food.
The whole table went silent, eyes wide and confused as they pieced everything together. Mr. Jeon's mouth went agape, Mrs. Jeon was completely frozen and Soobin mumbled a 'I was only joking'.
Jeongguk glanced at Taehyung, who was so anxious he seemed like he was about to cry, so the raven haired male reached for his hand that was clutching onto his pants and slowly intertwined their fingers.
Taehyung gazed back up at him and tightened the hold, letting out a shaky breath when Jeongguk smiled reassuringly at him.
The dominant one took and deep breath and looked back at his mother, who was still staring straight ahead with an unreadable expression. "Mom-"
"He is pregnant?" His mom beat him to it and asked, eyes big and shiny. Jeongguk straightened his back and cleared his throat before responding.
"Yeah. Yeah, he is." Taehyung gulped, eye flickering down at his lap as he was to nervous to look at the stunned family.
"I know it's coming as a shock, mom, but-"
"I'm gonna be a grandmother?" His mother again cut him off and Taehyung swore he got deja vu, because when he looked up, Mrs. Jeon was smiling and almost crying. Like mother like son, I guess.
"You are." Jeongguk smiled too, letting out a relieved sigh once Mrs. Jeon's face lit up in excitement. She stood up, running over to the other side of the table and hugging Taehyung tightly, despite him being seated.
"This is amazing! Thank you, thank you!" Taehyung smiled and chuckled, a tear accidentally escaping his eye as he hugged her back.
"Holy fuck. This shit is crazy." Soobin stated out of nowhere, still flabbergasted by what just happened, making his mother turn to him after releasing the hug and slapping his arm.
"Aye. Just because this is the happiest moment of my life, does not mean you get to curse." She scolded making the others laugh, seeing Soobin's stunned face.
"Congratulations, son." Jeongguk looked towards his father, who was smiling sincerely. "Thank you." For once, he decided to put his grudge aside to enjoy the happy moment.
"Oh my! I almost forgot! I baked a cake earlier and this calls for a celebration!" Mrs. Jeon scurried over to the fridge and opened it, pulling out a nicely decorated cake, that had everyones eyes glowing. Mrs. Jeon's cakes were the best of the best.
The rest of the night was spent with Mrs. Jeon asking the couple endless questions anything and everything new that has happened and the two happily responded, though they decided not go into telling about what happened that night a few weeks ago, mostly because of their own embarrassment, but they blamed it on saving Soobin's 'pure mind' as if that existed in their heads.
"It was absolutely lovely to have you here again, Taehyung and gosh you've made me the happiest person in the world." Mrs. Jeon held his hands, a gentle and genuinely happy smile on display.
"What about my participation, mom?" Jeongguk jokingly asked, eyebrow raised, his words catching both of their attention. Taehyung gaped at him, his face heating up as he realised with he meant.
"I was the one who-" Jeongguk's words were cut when a hand covered his mouth. He looked at the owner with a raised eyebrow, a smirk underneath the hand. Taehyung glared at him, cheeks flushed bright pink, retreating his hand once he was sure the ravenette wouldn't speak up again.
He knew what he was gonna say and if he had even as much as said a word more, Taehyung would be embarrassed for life. Mrs. Jeon chuckled and shook her head at the lovers.
"I'm so happy to be here again, Jihyo. Truly." The blond turned back to Mrs. Jeon, cheeks tinted red yet he smiled politely. The older woman smiled back, eyes shiny as she pulled him into a tight embrace.
They hugged for a minute before pulling away and eventually, the couple bid goodbye. Soobin had already said goodbye as he had left earlier to hang out with friends.
Jeongguk held the car door open for Taehyung, who smiled and pecked his cheek before seating himself in the passenger seat whilst Jeongguk hurried to the other side.
"That went well." The dominant man stated, starting the engine and driving out of the driveway. Taehyung hummed, eyes stuck on the other's sharp side profile. Jeongguk glanced at him, a chuckle leaving him as he saw how Taehyung was completely lost in his features.
He grabbed a hold of his thigh, one hand still on the steering wheel. Taehyung glanced down at his thigh before smiling and letting out a content sigh, placing his hand on top of Jeongguk's.
The rest of the ride was mostly filled with comfortable silence and a few small conversations. Jeongguk decided to drop Taehyung off at his own house because he had a meeting early in the morning, and Taehyung agreed as he had to check in on the shop. He luckily had a few workers there everyday since it was pretty busy in the day, so he didn't have to work long hours.
Despite him telling his employees he can work his regular hours - he was the owner after all and had to help out more - they all insisted on taking extra hours, even though he was only a few weeks pregnant.
"I'm going to be pretty busy the next week but I'll try to visit and call okay?" They were outside Taehyung's apartment, Jeongguk's arms wrapped around Taehyung in a tight embrace, which the other was enjoying a lot.
"I'll be fine. You should focus on your work as well." The blond lifted his head from his shoulder so they were looking at each other. "I know. But I want to see you." The pregnant one smiled and placed a soft kiss on his cheek.
He pulled away from the embrace and let out a small giggle at how the other's lips formed a pout. "Don't pout. I promise when you're done with work this week, I'll cuddle with you and give you as many kisses as you want." Jeongguk's eyes lit up at that and he nodded.
"I'll work hard for you then." He leaned down and pecked the flustered male's lips, one hand stroking over his stomach.
"Good night, my love!" Before Taehyung could respond, he turned his heels around and walked down the hallway towards the elevator.
"My love.." Taehyung mumbled, eyes wide, cheeks flushed and a hand holding his stomach. Woah. His eyes suddenly got teary as his emotions and reality suddenly hit him like a bus.
It wasn't just his dream anymore.
He had Jeongguk.
He was Jeongguk's and Jeongguk was his.
