(2 months [Day 58] since Namjoon and Seokjin's disappearance)
Taehyung have calmed down and requested to be allowed to stay, which Namjoon and Seokjin agreed to.
"You need to take a bath first. No offence but you look like you need one. I'm also particularly not a fan of exposing the pups to dirt and germs. Can't risk them getting sick." Namjoon offered.
Taehyung nodded and accepted the offer of a bath. Now, Taehyung is no snob but he certainly wasn't expecting to bathe in a stream. How Namjoon and Seokjin quickly adjusted to this new method of bathing is beyond his knowledge.
The omega undressed himself, immediately shivering from the autumn wind. He first lightly dipped his foot in the water and he felt his skin freeze. Taehyung took a deep breath before completely submerging his body in the freezing water. How did Namjoon and Seokjin even managed to bathe in this kind of temperature?! More or less the pups?!
Suddenly, Namjoon, who's half naked, lower part of the body only covered with a towel, came with a fully naked Hoseok that's covered in mud, clinging on his arms.
"Hope you don't mind. I wouldn't look at you I promise. However, this little monkey here needs a bath and so do I." Namjoon chuckled nervously, only looking at Hoseok, not sparing Taehyung a glance at all.
"It's fine." Taehyung assured, though he couldn't help but stare at Namjoon's well toned body. The alpha's muscles are huge, the omega has to give him that as his mind floated around to thoughts a married omega should not be thinking.
"I'm here to make sure eyes wouldn't wonder." Seokjin said through gritted teeth, suddenly appearing out of nowhere as he glared at Taehyung who immediately eschewed his eyes to the forest view.
Seokjin had Yoongi in his arms, feeding on him. The omega lifted the hem of dress a bit before sitting on the rocks by the stream where Namjoon and Hoseok are bathing, dipping his feet into the river. Seokjin has to bathe Yoongi soon too.
Suddenly, something pulled Seokjin's legs, making the omega yelp, surprising Yoongi who immediately bit into the omega's nipple.
"Ouch! Joonie!" Seokjin hissed, glaring at the alpha who was laughing with a giggling Hoseok. "I swear, I wouldn't hesitate to kick you in the face." The omega threatened as he gently removed Yoongi away from his breast to massage his nipple that stung in pain.
"Sorry!" Namjoon laughed before continuing to bathe Hoseok.
Taehyung could only look at them longingly before eschewing his eyes to his tummy that's now flat. If the attempted assassination didn't happen, would he and Jungkook be doing the same things Namjoon and Seokjin are doing? Taking care of their pups, bathing together, enjoying life as a family?
Then Taehyung had an epiphany, as to why Seokjin and Namjoon rather choose the life of hardship as commoners. It might be hard being commoners but looking at how happy the two are with Hoseok and Yoongi, the hardship is rewarded. Namjoon and Seokjin doesn't have jobs that require them to leave home everyday, thus allowing them to spend more time with the pups.
Taehyung and Jungkook are royalty. They would have businesses that would consume their time daily. They would barely afford giving their pups time. Seokjin and Namjoon who are domestic dreamers, preferred hardship in exchange for freedom and time. The two don't prioritize power nor wealth as they have experienced what it's like to have great power and wealth firsthand, crumbling under the stress and pressure. With great power comes great responsibility and despite being founders of charity, they're selfish for liberating.
Taehyung can't blame them. The pureblooded omega looked at the sky, resting his head against a rock and slowly closed hie eyes as he took in the beauty of nature. Despite the freezing water, he found it very enjoyable as he enhanced his senses. He first focused on the feeling of water all around his body and how it felt on his skin. He then focused on hearing, listening to the flow of water, Namjoon, Yoongi, and Hoseok's laughter that seemed so distant and muffled. Then Taehyung opened his eyes, taking in every detail of the clear stream water and the plants of the forest.
"Taehyung! Tae! Taehyung!"
Taehyung snapped out of his meditation and saw Seokjin, carrying Hoseok that's wrapped around in a towel. Seokjin was handing him the towel, a worried look etched on his face.
"Are you alright?" Seokjin asked as he helped Taehyung out of the water who immediately wrapped himself in the towel, swiftly so the alpha who's now bathing Yoongi wouldn't see his naked form.
"Hmm? Yeah I am." Taehyung responded as he walked to the shack with Seokjin.
"Well, I have been calling you for a while and not once did you pay attention to me. Perhaps bathing in the cold water made you sick?" Seokjin remarked. "Joonie hasn't made a hot tub yet. Stones are quite expensive nowadays."
"No. I have just been deep in thought." Taehyung admitted as he unpacked his sack and took a simple dress out and undergarments. Seokjin hummed as he dressed Hoseok up, as if telling Taehyung to continue.
"How are you and Joon-hyung?" Taehyung asked, changing the subject which Seokjin noticed but decided not to pry, making the pureblooded omega sigh in relief.
"Well as you can see, we're doing great. We still do our charity programmes from time to time. Joonie is such a gentleman. He also helped me during heats." Seokjin flushed as he set Hoseok down who immediately ran outside and went up the treehouse. "Careful!" Seokjin yelled as he went to the garden set, followed by Taehyung who had a glint in his eyes.
"Ohh? And how was the experience?" Taehyung grinned as he sat on the garden chair, looking at the flustered Seokjin with raised eyebrows.
"Well, he sadly doesn't use his knob on me." Seokjin flushed, squirming slightly as he eschewed his eyes away from Taehyung who looked at him shock.
"Why? So you're saying you two are still as pure as the fallen snow on Mt. Lìe? Gods this is just too adorable." Taehyung cooed. He even expected that Seokjin would be pregnant by now but it seems like the alpha has more self-control than Taehyung gave him credit for.
"Not really! I mean we have seen each other bare. And he used his tongue and fingers." Seokjin whispered, making Taehyung flushed. "You two are going at it very creatively. Then again, the last time I felt Kookie inside me is during my first heat. Hopefully we can make love after all this fiasco..." Taehyung then trailed off.
"Is it bad if me and Kookie try to make another baby?" Taehyung suddenly asked, earning a bewildered look from Seokjin. "Why would it be bad?"
"Well, I mean... We just lost two pups. Shouldn't I mourn longer?"
"Oh Tae... As harsh as it may sound, miscarriages and losing pups are more common than you think. You and Gguk can have intercourse to try for another chance of pups again. And it's better to do it early or the possibilities of your fertility will decrease." Seokjin tried to assure, earning a nod from Taehyung who suddenly had a cheeky grin on his face, starting a new topic to make the situation less awkward.
"How about you. You're almost 30 right? Why haven't you elope yet?"
With that, Seokjin flushed.
"Well, alpha said he's still courting me."
"You two literally act like mates with their two pups. You two shared the same bed, live under the same roof, share the same food on the same dining table, and have already seen each other bare. Does that sound like courting stage?" Taehyung teased, making the other omega feel bashful.
"Seokjin hyung." Namjoon called out, approaching the two omegas with Yoongi in his hands. The baby is dressed in his white dress, swaddled in a thick blanket, and wore a small white hat on his head. Yoongi seemed to be relaxed, drowsy even.
"I'll cook breakfast for us alright?" Namjoon said, handing Seokjin the baby, taking the chance to quickly peck his omega before rushing to the kitchen.
"You lot are disgusting." Taehyung groaned, playfully rolling his eyes which Seokjin returned.
"'Yung." Yoongi mumbled, looking at Taehyung in amazement. Taehyung cooed at Yoongi, wanting to hold him and suckle him. He was so close to motherhood but the gods changed their mind and changed his fate.
"Can I hold him?" Taehyung asked, already stretching his arms towards Yoongi.
"Of course." Seokjin said, handing the baby over to Taehyung which the pureblooded omega accepted. Taehyung cooed at Yoongi, kissing the baby's cheeks repeatedly before looking at Seokjin.
"Can I suckle him?" Taehyung asked, his eyes glimmering with hope and excitement.
"He had just nursed from me but sure." Seokjin said. "I'm not sure if he'll suck on you though."
Taehyung nodded as he lowered the collar of his dress, exposing a nipple. Yoongi stared at it for a second before latching himself on the exposed nipple. Taehyung gasp in surprise, weirded out by the feeling as Yoongi continued to suck on him. However, Taehyung found the process beautiful at the same time. The feeling of motherhood is what every omega wanted to experience throughout their lives. They're born to be mothers after all.
Taehyung sighed internally as he looked at Yoongi, wondering what his pups would've look like and what they would've look like in his arms, doing the same thing Yoongi is currently doing.
Namjoon came with eggs, cherry tomatoes and stale slices of loaf bread that's covered in butter. The alpha laid the breakfast down and proudly looked at it. "You lot dig in! I'll fetch Hobi." Namjoon stated before jogging to the tree house to retrieve Hoseok.
Yoongi stopped sucking and Taehyung immediately fixed his dress before showering the baby with another round of kisses on the face. Yoongi started off giggling before getting fed up and groan, making the omegas chuckle.
"Yoonie! Hyungieee!" Hoseok greeted with a wave as Namjoon carried him to the omegas and Yoongi.
With that, they share a peaceful breakfast.
