1 ✿ {seven years ago}

Taehyung met Jeongguk in a way that stuck somewhere between average and fated.

"I wanna introduce you to the new trainee that Bang PD decided to put me with. I've been making people try to guess his rank on their first time seeing

him." Jin had said. He pulled Taehyung out of his bed—which the younger brother wasn't happy about this as it was his day off from school and he had planned to sleep until his body physically wouldn't let him sleep any longer—and started dragging him
#taekookau #taekook

towards the door.

"Hyung, at least let me get dressed if you're gonna drag me to the BigHit building." Taehyung mumbled. Sometimes the younger really questioned his decision to move out to Seoul with his older brother, but only in the moments like
#taekookau #taekook

these where Jin decided to forcefully remove him from the warm confines of his many blankets.

But even those moments usually turned out pretty well. The first time it happened was when Taehyung was introduced to Kim Namjoon, who Jin had neglected to

mention was his mate until right before he had opened the studio door. Then after that was Park Jimin, who at the time was a trainee and now a backup dancer and Taehyung's best friend. Followed by Min Yoongi and Jung Hoseok, who, on first impression,
#taekookau #taekook

6 ✿
intimidated Taehyung for opposite reasons (with Yoongi's few yet powerful words and Hoseok being so bright it was nearly blinding, Taehyung is sure anyone could understand where he was coming from).

So, even though always initially displeased by being

7 ✿
dragged out a bed, Taehyung always ended the day with a new friend when this happened, so he couldn't complain. It was an average routine.

Once Taehyung had pulled fresh clothes on—a simple oversized sweater and skinny jeans, it's not like anyone at
#taekookau #taekook

the company really cared what one of the manager's little brother was wearing—and given himself a once-over in the mirror, he had walked out into the hallway of their apartment. Jin was waiting right outside the doorframe, and once again grabbed his

wrist and started dragging him to the exit, calling out a, "Let's go Joonie!" in the direction of the kitchen.

The other alpha joined them at the door, and Jin was quick to drop Taehyung's wrist in favor of holding Namjoon's hand. Taehyung rolled his
#taekookau #taekook

10 ✿
eyes at this, should they still be this overly affectionate with each other even after moving in together? (Taehyung fully admitted to himself that it was adorable, they were adorable.)
#taekookau #taekook

11
Walking to BigHit isn't a hassle, the Seoul streets are even surprisingly uncrowded. But Taehyung feels a faint sense of something he doesn't recognize, almost like a threat, but with no sense of danger.

'Is there such thing as a good threat?' He thought.
#taekookau #taekook

12 🌸
The suspicious feeling only grows as the trio walked into the entertainment building, the receptionist letting the recognized faces through without stopping them.

Maybe this feeling was more comparable to curiosity.
#taekookau #taekook

13🌸
Jin and Namjoon had been talking about something, probably how much they loved each other or whatever. Taehyung was too caught up in trying to figure out just what it was he was feeling. Only tuning back in when Namjoon parted ways with them to head over to his own studio.

14🌸
"So I want you to guess this trainee's rank, and if you do I'll probably scream, I'm still convinced that he's lying to me." Jin went over his plan again.

Not the weirdest reason he's been dragged to his older brother's workplace, if Taehyung was being honest.
#taekookau

15🌸
"You've probably seen his medical records, I'd think you know if he's lying to you." Taehyung remarked. His brain still wasn't at ease, and he still couldn't pinpoint what he was feeling.

"It's just unbelievable, you'll never get it, trust me."
#taekookau #taekook

16🌸
They stopped in front of the door to one of the dance studios. Jimin passed by, turning to Jin and asking, "Are you showing him Jeongguk?"

"Yeah, don't spoil it." The alpha replied.

"Oh no, I wanna see the look on Tae's face when he figures it out."
#taekookau #taekook

17🌸
With his soft smile turning into an amused smirk, Jimin opened the door and pushed Taehyung in.

"Alright my magnificent donsaeng, it's time to play what rank is this trainee!" Jin announced, following in after the two omegas.

But Taehyung was too busy staring.

18🌸
Staring at the kid, maybe 14 or 15, not much younger than Taehyung himself. Definitely a trainee, if the way he startles at the foreign presence says anything.

And the kid stares back, with big eyes and messy hair. Just a bit sweaty from dancing.
#taekookau #taekook

19🌸
But the sweat doesn't overpower the actual scent of the person he's staring at. Like the sea at night, with hints of a campfire.

Why had Jin acted like this was gonna be difficult? Maybe his nose was broken.

Did he think the kid's appearance would throw him off?
#taekookau

20🌸
If the scent was more subtle, it might have. The kid, Jeongguk is what Jimin called him, still had the very last of his baby fat on his cheeks. And the gigantic round eyes with his messy hair hanging down into it.

Appearance-wise, he looked like he could be any rank.
#kookv

21🌸
But there was no mistaking it.

"Alpha." Taehyung said.

Jin, true to his word, let out a small shriek, "How did you?!" But upon seeing his little brother's flushed face and the fact that he was still staring at Jeongguk, he pieced it together.
#taekookau #taekook

22🌸
And he wasn't sure if Taehyung even realized what was happening. Or Jeongguk for that matter.

The elder alpha's eye narrowed. He wasn't sure how he felt about it. He's only known Jeongguk for a few weeks at this point.

Jimin nudged his shoulder and they shared a look.

23🌸
Taehyung snapped out of it a little bit, his face felt hot. The mysterious feeling that had been twisting around him reached its apex.

Jeongguk seemed to come back a bit as well.

The day was average. But Jeongguk had been interwoven into it as fate.
#taekookau #taekook

24🌸 {six years ago}
It took Jeongguk a little over a year to finally ask Taehyung out on a date. To which the older joked, "Is that even allowed?"

It technically wasn't, but Jeongguk still wasn't sure if he was actually going to debut or not so he did it anyways.
#taekookau

25🌸
At least Jin was overjoyed with it, which is what Jeongguk thought the biggest challenge would be. He's been told stories of Jin scaring Taehyung's past dates off.

But when he asked Jin if it would be okay, the older alpha had burst out, "Finally!"
#taekookau #taekook

26🌸
"Do you know how long the rest of us have been waiting for you two to get your act together? You're so obviously mates and–" Jin clamped his mouth shut.

Jeongguk may or may not have just been enlightened. So many different things clicked together in his brain.
#taekookau

27🌸
The first being why Taehyung's scent, vanilla like marshmallows and fresh like the air after it rains, had been so strong to him. The next being why—despite having sixty other things to do as a trainee—he constantly wanted to being hanging out with the slightly older omega.

28🌸
About a million other reasons of why he liked Taehyung so much ran through his head and all of them could be connected back to the now constant stream of, "Taehyung's my mate, Taehyung's my mate, Taehyung's my mate." That repeated through Jeongguk's mind.
#taekookau #taekook

29🌸
And Jin was right, it was a bit strange for them to not realize it by themselves. But they were fairly young (14 and 15) when they first saw each other, it could have been that they just didn't recognize it.

"Ok well now that you look like you just had the revelation of

30🌸
a lifetime," Jin said, "You have vocal lessons until 2 and then dance until 6, but after that I can take you back to Taehyung and I's place and you can finally ask him out."

Hoseok had walked into the room they were sitting in at that point, "He's finally gonna do it?!"

31🌸
The dancer's exclamation had drawn Jimin and Yoongi into the room as well.

"'It' as in ask Tae out right?!" Jimin asked, clearly excited.

"Did everyone know that he was my mate except me?" Jeongguk whined.

"Well he obviously doesn't know." Yoongi commented.
#taekookau

32🌸
After a small conference over how Jeongguk should go about asking Taehyung out, the group dispersed. Jeongguk waited impatiently throughout the rest of the day, constantly glancing back towards the clock and willing it to go faster.
#taekookau #taekook

33🌸
It wasn't an odd thing to see Jeongguk in Jin, Namjoon, and Taehyung's apartment. Either for something work related at Namjoon's small at-home studio or hanging out with Taehyung whenever he had the time to do so.
The young alpha had never before felt so nervous in the space

34🌸
"Jeonggukie!" Taehyung explained, nearly tackling the younger in a hug.

"Good to know we exist too, Tae." Namjoon laughed.

"I see you two everyday, I only see Jeongguk once a week if I'm lucky." Taehyung pouted, arms still wrapped around Jeongguk.
#taekookau #taekook

35🌸
"You're about to start seeing him a lot more." Jin said under his breath, intending for only Namjoon to hear.

"What?" Taehyung asked, finally unwrapping himself from around Jeongguk, who's face was almost entirely red.

"Nothing, nothing. Joon and I are gonna go out for

36🌸
the night, so you two have to figure dinner out for yourselves." Jin changed the topic. "Jeongguk if you just so happen to not stick to your diet plan today, I didn't see it happen."

The trainee nods, "Ok hyung." Then Taehyung dragged him over to the couch.
#taekookau

37🌸
"We should order pizza!" The omega happily suggested, he pulled out two video game controllers and handed one over to the younger. "That's like a delicacy for you at this point."

Jeongguk quickly agreed, thinking if there was anyway to spend a cheat meal that was it.
#kookv

38🌸
It was hours later, after debating over how to go about asking Taehyung out for about two hours. When Jeongguk's brain to mouth filter stopped thinking and he suddenly announced,

"I think we're mates."

Taehyung stopped chewing, still holding his piece of pizza to his mouth

39🌸
He seemed to be having the same revelations that Jeongguk had had just hours earlier.

After swallowing the food that was left in his mouth, Taehyung softly said, "We're both kind of idiots for not realizing when we first met."

"The hyungs told me we were the last to figure

40🌸
it out." Jeongguk told him. "Jin-hyung said he knew as soon as he introduced us."

"Well, if anyone's gonna be my mate. I'm really happy that it's you Jeonggukie." Taehyung smiled, then joked, "Just know that I'm never gonna shut up about how much I like you now."
#taekookau

41🌸 {four years ago}
After a few years of being a stumbling new artist, Jeongguk's newest album hit a breakthrough and was a startling success.

His fan base was growing steadily but not wildly, he was slowly starting to put more of his own hands into his music rather than just

42🌸
letting Namjoon and Yoongi lead him along. The company was doing well.

The only downsides were the ones that seemed inevitable. A few haters, some one-off rumors about things that were ridiculous.

And the fact that he couldn't be open about his relationship with Taehyung.

43🌸
The company had decided that Jeongguk would market better if he was single, and they had probably been right. A fair portion of his fans were the type to project their ideal boyfriend onto him. He knew it would be like that when he started training to be an idol.
#taekookau

44🌸
He hadn't known he would meet his True Mate at that point.
BigHit was flexible however, and it had been worked into a contract that Jeongguk would never be subjected to fake dating or anything of the likes of "evil company trying to split true love apart".
#taekookau #kookv

45🌸
Taehyung seemed fine with it too. He claimed he wasn't really one for the spotlight and moved through his life as he wished. The 19 year old omega was about to enter college for arts and design and seemed to be happy with where he was.
When Jeongguk wouldn't be convinced

46🌸
Taehyung would pull out his "We aren't even properly mated you underage dummy." While cutely sticking his tongue out at the 17-almost-18 year old alpha.
Jeongguk would always respond with a "But we will be soon."

So not being able to show off Taehyung to the world was

47🌸
probably Jeongguk's biggest annoyance when it came to being an idol.
But he wouldn't ask for a different life. With the job of his dreams and the mate of his dreams, even if he couldn't mix the two he was overjoyed to be able to have both.
#taekookau #taekook

48🌸 {two years ago}
The small spurt of fame Jeongguk had caught a few years earlier had again caught on, only about tenfold this time.

Taehyung couldn't be more proud of his mate. Watching Jeongguk do the things he had only dreamed of doing when he was a stumbling 14 year old

49🌸
completed Taehyung's dreams as well.
He also enjoyed keeping his own life private, as university was enough stress on it's own. Taehyung didn't think he could handle being publicly known on top of that.
If he could wish for anything, it would be more freetime with his mate

50🌸
but they had moved in together to their own apartment the year prior. After being officially, legally mated for nearly two.
So at the current moment, watching his mate perform in front of the biggest crowd he's stood on stage for yet, Taehyung couldn't be happier.
#taekook

51🌸 {about two weeks ago}
"My heat's gonna be here in a few weeks." Taehyung reminded Jeongguk. It was a rare at-home work day for the alpha, and the omega took advantage of the extra time he got to spend with his mate as much as possible. They haven't let each other out

52🌸
of sight for as long as they've been awake.
Jeongguk was quiet for a second, continuing to scribble down lyrics for his next single, until his head suddenly snapped up and he exclaimed, "That's my vacation week!"
Taehyung laughed at the delayed reaction, his mate looked

53🌸
like a kid let loose in a candy store.
He shared the excitement though, Taehyung has only come off of taking suppressants within the past year after he had graduated university and all the heats that followed ended up being at inopportune times in relation to Jeongguk's

54🌸
schedule.
"I may or may not have dropped a few hints to Jin-hyung." Taehyung said through more laughter, as he was now being smothered within a hug. "Who may or may not have pulled some strings."
"You possibly have the best brother in the entire world." Jeongguk said,

55🌸
though it was muffled against Taehyung's neck.
"Guess that means you have the best manager, but don't jinx it."
Going back to the original topic, Jeongguk excitedly proclaimed, "I'm finally gonna get to love you exactly how you should be loved during your heats not just some

56🌸
lazy fuck after having a schedule all day."
"Oh like they're ever lazy." Taehyung jokingly rolled his eyes. "I couldn't go to work the day after last time 'cause I literally couldn't walk."
Jeongguk pinched his side, "You know what I meant!"
Another bout of laughter escaped

57🌸
the omega, "I know, I know."
With that, Taehyung pulled Jeongguk's face to his own and kissed him.
If Jeongguk didn't get much work done for the next hour, Taehyung swears it wasn't his fault.
#taekookau #taekook

58🌸{present day}

59🌸
almost there
#taekookau #taekook

60🌸
Jeongguk got his keys in the lock and opened the door to their apartment in record time. After closing the door and making sure it was tightly locked, he finally let himself sprint into their bedroom where Taehyung was.
The sight itself almost sent Jeongguk off the edge.

64🌸
The rest of the week was spent with Jeongguk trying his best to make sure Taehyung knew he could never ask for a better mate. That the alpha has no clue how he ended up with someone that could tolerate him or his job so well. How thankful Jeongguk was that he had Taehyung.

65🌸
good times all around

#taekookau #taekook #vkook #kookv

67🌸
Jin and Jeongguk both entered the apartment with their worries going through the roof. Taehyung's messages had been ominous and both were worried that the omega could have been hurt.
"Tae?" Jin called out.
"In here." The response came from the bedroom.
#taekookau #taekook

68🌸
The two alphas shared a look before Jin hesitantly entered the bedroom.
Jeongguk waited patiently outside, he didn't understand why Taehyung wanted to talk to his brother first, but he respected his mate's wishes.
Until he heard Jin scream and Taehyung cry.
#taekookau

69🌸
Jeongguk hesitated for a second but then decided to run into the room anyways. If his mate was hurt he had to do something about it!
But once he entered and saw that, while Tae was crying, he had a blatant smile on his face.
"Tae?" Jeongguk spoke softly.
#taekookau #taekook

70🌸
"Gukkie..." Taehyung looked up, he didn't seem mad that Jeongguk had burst into the room before he had been told to enter. Instead he held up the small stick in his hand, "I'm pregnant."
#taekookau #taekook

71🌸
Jeongguk's entire brain stopped for a second before his face broke into a grin.
"Really?!" The idol asked.
Taehyung nodded in response.
"Oh my gosh that's amazing!" Jeongguk tackled the omega onto the bed in a hug, though he was sure to be gentle. "We're gonna have a pup!"

72🌸
Jin, who was still in the room, spoke up to say, "Can you not give us heart attacks about it next time please? We thought you were hurt."
Taehyung turned in Jeongguk's arms to look at his brother, "Sorry, hyung. I was just- in a lot of shock."
Jin's hard look softened.

73🌸
"It's ok, I understand." Jin said softly. "But we both thought something bad had happened, that you had been hurt or worse. Just be a bit more careful with the urgent texts, okay?"
Taehyung nodded.
"Alright, I'll leave you two alone for a little bit but you do have to go

74🌸
back to work eventually Jeongguk." Jin informed, then he left the room, shutting the door behind him.
Jeongguk immediately started peppering his mate's face in tiny kisses, "We're gonna have a pup!" He repeated.
Taehyung giggled when Jeongguk moved down to start kissing

75🌸
over his stomach.
"I was scared you would react a lot differently." Taehyung said between laughter.
"Why would I?" Jeongguk seemed perplexed by the notion.
"We're still young Gukkie. And the world doesn't- can't know we're mated. I just wasn't sure if a baby would be

76🌸
too much added on to that." Taehyung admitted, not making eye contact.
Jeongguk returned back up to Taehyung's face, kissing him gently on the lips. "Tae I don't think there's news you could give me that would be better. I'm so happy. And yes there's gonna be complications

77🌸
but we'll work through them like we always do."
Tears started to fall from Taehyung's eyes, Jeongguk kissed them away.
"I'm so excited, and I know you're excited too. You looked so happy when I first walked in."
Taehyung smiled, "I am happy. I'm so happy."

82🌸
let me explain
#taekookau #taekook #kookv

83🌸
"The devil works hard but stan twitter works harder." Jin said, scrolling through some of the trending tweets about Jeongguk. "That theorist doesn't have enough info to make a solid claim but they have pretty damn good intuition."
#taekookau #taekook #kookv

84🌸
"So we just have to be a bit more careful." Taehyung yawned as he stretched out against the couch. "She does make a pretty good point about the tweet thing, I should have waited to post on my open account."
It was standard to have dinner at Jin and Namjoon's apartment on

85🌸
Fridays, but today it had turned into something more of a business meeting.
"And we could have been less brash with our reaction too." Jimin throws in, he then turns to Taehyung and jokes, "So tell us in a group chat first before twitter."
#taekookau #taekook #kookv

86🌸
"You're never gonna let that go, are you?" Taehyung asked with a laugh.
"You told the entire internet before me!" Jimin whined.
"You have my post notifications on! You were probably the first to see it!" Taehyung joked.
"You're right and I was the first to like it but I'm

87🌸
still offended." Jimin huffed, dramatically turning away from the other omega.
The rest of the group turned back to the previous conversation as the two omega's continued their fake fight.
"Even if more information does leak out, until BigHit or Jeongguk say something no one

88🌸
can 100% for sure claim anything." Namjoon stated. "So we should be fine."
"Sasaengs could cause hazard though, if they get evidence of something and then let that leak somewhere, it could go terribly." Yoongi mentioned.
"Not a lot of sasaengs can get that evidence though,

89🌸
the building their apartment in is secure, and they're hardly ever seen in public together." Hoseok countered. "They would get arrested before the news could really get anywhere."
"Gguk you're being quiet." Jin said, making everyone turn their attention to the youngest.

90🌸
"I just- I don't know." Jeongguk sighed. "If it was up to me Taehyung and I would be out."
#taekookau #taekook #kookv

91🌸
"Guk you know we can't." Taehyung said solemnly, "It's not worth risking your career like that."
"I know." Jeongguk responded.
There were a few moments of silence after that, eventually something happened and the night carried on as it usually would.
#taekookau #taekook

92🌸
A few weeks had passed and Jeongguk was excited to notice the slight shift of Taehyung's scent into something even just a tad sweeter than the omega's already was. The doctor they had been visiting had been able to confirm that the baby was healthy thus far, Jeongguk was

93🌸
extremely happy. He tried his best to spend as much time with Taehyung as possible, even with his hectic schedule.
He still felt dejected about the fact that he couldn't share his happiness with the entire world. But he could survive.
#taekookau #taekook

94🌸
blessed

95🌸
suspicious
#taekookau #taekook

96🌸
Another few weeks had passed and as Taehyung progressed further into his pregnancy the more Jeongguk wanted to let people outside of the company and their families know. He was so proud of his mate and he wanted to show that, not just hide it away.
#taekookau #taekook

97🌸
He understood why he couldn't. Of course he understood why he couldn't, it could cause an uproar that could negate the years of work he put into being an idol. But just because it could didn't mean it would.
#taekookau #taekook

98🌸
The young alpha was subtlety trying to push BigHit into lifting his ristrictions on his relationship with Taehyung. He was a full grown adult now, and he was popular enough that even if half his fan base decided to completely desert him, he wouldn't be completely phased out

99🌸
of the industry.
"Gukkie, I know how you feel because I feel that way too. I want to be able to show the entire world that I'm proud to call you mine. But you can't put me over the career you worked so hard for." Taehyung said, stroking a hand through Jeongguk's hair.
#kookv

100🌸
They were laying in bed, both half asleep after long days at work. Facing each other, with their legal tangle together and Jeongguk's arm resting on Taehyung waist while the omega fiddled with the earrings the younger hadn't bothered to take out.
#taekookau #taekook

101🌸
Of course Taehyung felt similarly to his mate. He just as desperately wanted to share his happiness with the rest of the world, but he also didn't want Jeongguk to sacrifice his dreams for him. He could wait a bit longer, or even forever. He still had Jeongguk either way,

102🌸
which is what really mattered at the end of the day.
"I love my career, and I love my fans. But I love you above all of that. And the fans that truly love me would love you too." Jeongguk explained. "You know I've felt like this since forever, not just because you're

103🌸
pregnant. But knowing that we'll have a family makes my need to let other people know how proud I am to call you mine even stronger."
"I know, Gukkie. I know." Taehyung's voice was becoming gentler as he slipped further into sleep.

106🌸
"I don't wanna sound like THAT manager or brother but can you guys be a bit more careful about the timing of your tweets?" Jin asked, looking at the pair squished together on their couch.
"Right now we're banking on the fact that that one account doesn't have a ton of solid

107🌸
evidence for their claims." Namjoon added, "If you guys start looking suspicious people outside of the fandoms will start to give it attention."
Jeongguk mumbled something into the back of Taehyung's neck, the omega on his lap mocked an angry pout, "We know you want to

108🌸
drop hints Gukkie."
Jeongguk pinched his side, "You're the one that tweeted directly after me!! You're the one dropping hints!"
Taehyung turned on the alpha's lap to be facing him, "Maybe I turned your post notifications off and I didn't know you posted about it."

109🌸
Taehyung stuck his tongue out as Jeongguk let out an joking, "You wouldn't dare!"
Jin turned to Namjoon while watching the younger two, "I thought we were the gross couple."
"I did too." Namjoon agreed.

🌸[A/N]🌸
I've been so slow... School really wants me to struggle 😅
I could either make this AU end soon or I could drag it out a bit, which would you prefer?

110🌸
"Have you seen the way news sites have been reporting even the possibility of you being mated?" The PR manager asked, brows drawn together, "Absolutely not! It's a horrible idea!"
Jeongguk was trying so hard to convince the CEO of the company to let him out his relationship

111🌸
but CEO Bang has told him to talk the PR department and that led Jeongguk here.
"Not all of them are bad though!" The young alpha countered, "Some of the more reputable sites are saying it's great that I've found a mate this early!"
"But those are the ones that are saying

112🌸
it's definitely way to early for you to have a pup." The manager said, the older beta sighed, "Look kid, everyone within the company is super happy for you and if it were up to me personally, I'd let you and every other idol out their relationship. But the GP is the one

113🌸
actually calling the shots, and they're not so accepting of one of the hottest idols out there right now being unavailable. It doesn't market well."
"What about Namjoon-hyung?" Jeongguk questioned "He's never had to hide his relationship with Jin-hyung!"

114🌸
"Namjoon-ssi and Seokjin-ssi are something like an exception. And that's definitely too long of a story to get into right now." The PR manager was tired, Jeongguk had been bugging them about this persistently for weeks now.
#taekookau #taekook #kookv

115🌸
"We both have places to be, if it ever gets to a point where we think you could put out your relationship we won't hold you back. But the answer doesn't look like it'll change soon so leave PR alone for a while."
Jeongguk mumbled an apology for wasting the manager's time.

116🌸
"Gukkie I honestly don't know. I'm really torn about it." Jeongguk knee this is what he would run into when he asked his mate about what he should do, because Taehyung has a penchant for trying to see every possible side of a situation.

"I would really like to share our relationship with the world but I don't want you ruining your career either." The omega leans his head back so it's resting on Jeongguk's shoulder. Jeongguk kept running his hand over the small bump that had formed on his mate's tummy.

118🌸
Taehyung is a comfortable weight on the alpha's lap and the omega's bare stomach is a wonderful feeling under Jeongguk's hands. "I really truly don't know what to tell you."
Jeongguk plants a quick kiss on Taehyung's shoulder, "It's okay love."
#taekookau #kookv

119🌸
"So if I were to do something... admittedly stupid..." Jeongguk continued, "Would you be upset?"
"I wouldn't be upset if you were happy with your decision, but I'm just not sure if you'll be happy once you expose us." Taehyung replied, he shifted to be sitting sideways on

120🌸
Jeongguk's lap, letting his head fall completely into the crook of the alpha's neck. "Before you make a decision, please think through all the consequences."

..........since that unbelievably ended in a 50/50, i've decided that means you guys want fate to decide. i put both options on an online spinner to get our final result

Jeongguk will expose himself and Taehyung

121🌸 {a week later}

"You're totally, completely ok with me doing this?" Jeongguk asked, probably for the millionth time. He had to make absolutely sure.

"I'm totally, completely ok with you doing this if it's what you want." Taehyung replied, as he had for a million times.

122🌸
He giggled at his own answer, Jeongguk's repetitiveness more endearing than annoying. Taehyung leaned forward and pecked Jeongguk's lips.

"I love you." They had said it at the same time, both falling into a fit of laughter afterwards. Jeongguk brought Taehyung into

123🌸
his arms. The baby bump was starting to make it harder to get Taehyung pulled flush against him, but Jeongguk still loved hugging him anyways.

"Maybe you can make your fans vote so we can finally narrow down our naming options." Taehyung suggested.

124🌸
"If this entire thing doesn't blow up in my face, then we can do that." Jeongguk laughed.

The spent the rest of the night talking through everything that could go right. Prepared to show their love to the world.

As they were cuddled up together in bed, Jeongguk tweeted.

125🌸
Jin made sure the door was locked as he sat down with the others at the conference room table. "Once the PR team comes hunting for us we duck under the table, okay?"

Yoongi, Namjoon, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung (who had taken a day off from his own work), and Jeongguk nodded.

126🌸
"If they figure it out anyways than Yoongi and I will pop up and try to stall." Jimin said.

"I'm going through with this no matter what, I don't know why you guys are putting this much effort into it." Jeongguk picked up his phone. "It's not a spy mission."

127🌸
"It's a big thing though. You have to be extremely careful on how you're wording this." Namjoon warned, "The media and your fans can twist anything you say."

"But you have all of our support no matter what." Hoseok added on.

Jeongguk took a deep breath,

128🌸
squeezing Taehyung's hand under the table. His mate squeezed back.

Jeongguk started typing.

129🌸
My family means the world to me

132🌸
"Guys put your phones down." Hoseok said, plucking Jeongguk's out of his hand. "You know some of the responses are gonna make you upset."

"Besides it's only a matter of time until PR co-" Jimin was cut off by a loud bang on the door.

"JEON JEONGGUK AND KIM SEOKJIN!"

133🌸
"Everyone under the table." Jimin hissed, put grabbed Yoongi's hand to pull him up when he attempted.

"You just said-" Yoongi whisper-yelled.

"We're the distraction." Jimin whisper-yelled back, pulling his mate over to open the door.

#taekook #taekookau #kookv

134🌸
"Have either of you seen Jeongguk or Jin?!" The PR representative was out of breath, seemingly just run up to the conference rooms from his own department.

"Nope." Jimin lied straight through his teeth like it was nothing, "Yoongi and I were... well we were doing something

135🌸
that you probably don't wanna hear about! But I'll tell you if I come across Jeongguk or Jin-hyung."

The beta from PR stared at the couple for a second, then stormed off mumbling about how no couple in this company knows how to act.

#taekook #taekookau #kookv

136🌸
Jimin shut and locked the door again. "We're clear!"

"Is that seriously the only excuse you could come up with on the spot for why you two would be in here?!" Namjoon questioned.

"It wouldn't be the first time." Yoongi said, sitting back down with everyone else.
#taekook

137🌸
The group of five wasn't exactly surprised to hear this news, but they all eyed the table with varying degrees of disgust.

"Anyways..." Jin eventually spoke up, "We are gonna have to face PR eventually Jeongguk-ah."

"But not right now." Jeongguk responded.
#taekookau

138🌸
"Oh yeah definitely not right now." Jin told him. He then turned to Taehyung, "And you aren't going out for a little bit once you get home. I can name three different sasaengs off the top of my head that would come for you right now. So you're gonna work from home

139🌸
for a few days, understood?"

"Understood hyung." Taehyung nodded. Jeongguk's hand tightened around his own.

And Taehyung did understand, this was the price of the reveal, and he was willing to pay it. It's not like he would be trapped forever, and to be completely honest

140🌸
working from home didn't sound too bad and circumstances could be worse.

He squeezed Jeongguk's hand back because he could tell the thought of himself being attacked made the alpha anxious. A silent reminder that eventually everything would be fine.

141🌸

Trying to get out of the BigHit building was an event. Namjoon, Yoongi, Hoseok, and Jimin stayed back to keep the panicking company distracted while Jin snuck the youngest couple to his car.

Once they were actually in the car and trying to exit the garage BigHit used is

142🌸
when things started to get tricky.

There were reporters all over the place, some trying desperately to get the car to stop once they found out Jin was driving. It seemed that some had figured out Taehyung and Jeongguk were in the backseat, even through the tinted windows.

143🌸

"Tae I might actually make you stay at home until your child turns ten." Jin said, frustrated as another person with a camera nearly throws themselves in front of the car. Jin had slammed on the breaks to avoid colliding with them.

144🌸
"Will my child be allowed to leave?" Tae asked, uneasily trying to lift the mood. He had one hand placed over his stomach, the group of people outside felt threatening enough that his instincts were telling him to be on the defensive, even within the car.
#taekookau

145🌸
Jeongguk was also on edge, leg bouncing as he removed his seat belt to instead squish himself next to his mate, wrapping an arm around Taehyung.

"Just go ahead and name them Rapunzel." Jin joked through gritted teeth.

🌸[A/N]🌸

My updates are pitiful. But my schoolwork holds me on a tight leash 😭
I won't give up though, slow and steady wins the race!

{Two Months Later}

Taehyung was about four months along now, and the world was moving on to other news and scandals that had come about.

Of course that didn’t mean he and Jeongguk were off the hook, there was still a focus on them
#taekookau #taekook #kookv

and their relationship, and BigHit was forgiving but did give the younger a firm lecture on why he should listen to PR and how the situation could’ve been worse.

But curled up together on the couch in their apartment, the outside world didn’t seem all too threatening.
#taekook

Jeongguk buried his nose into his mate’s neck, carefully pulling Taehyung closer even though they were already nearly flush against each other. Listening to the older talk about baby names.
#taekook #taekookau #kookv

“If it’s a girl I like Jeongsuk but if it’s a boy I think Taeseong is good.” The omega said, running his hand over Jeongguk’s currently light-brown hair.

“I think it’s gonna be a girl.” Jeongguk pulled away from the older’s neck.
#taekookau #taekook #kookv

“I don’t really know why… Gut feeling.”

“Are you okay with the name Jeongsuk then?” Taehyung asked.

“I like it, but what made you choose it in the first place?”

“It’s really similar to your name, and it sounds really cute.”
#taekookau #taekook #kookv

This was probably Jeongguk’s favorite part of what had spiraled, the fact that his and Taehyung’s relationship didn’t change. They were still, as Jimin likes to put, “grossly domestic”.
#taekookau #taekook #kookv

“Plus, I’ll have a Gukkie and a Suki, and it’s extremely important that your nicknames match.” Taehyung added, giggling to himself.

Jeongguk smiled, “But then if it’s a boy I would have two Taes, which would probably get confusing.”
#taekookau #taekook #kookv

“But you think it’s going to be a girl.” Taehyung laughed, and Jeongguk joined him.

{A/N: For the heck of it, poll, what are we feelin?}

{A/N}
After such a long time this is such a short update... But I wanted to throw something out there.
I will probably try to finish this au asap, because I am a bit uninspired and would rather move onto other concepts...
