expect the unexpected | 24.1 (bonus)
A long sigh escapes Jin’s lips when he crashes onto his bed after a long day. His friends left a while ago, the kids were just tucked in, and finally, he’s able to sleep right next to you again.
“Ah!” Jin yells, sitting back up as he laid on something hard that was under his pillow. “What the…” He lifts the pillow up to find a toy car and a toy dinosaur underneath.
“What is it?” you ask, laying down next to him.
“Mingyu’s car and Sian’s t-rex,” he says, putting it on the side table. You laugh, laying down on your pillow. You frown as you feel something underneath as well. You stick your hand underneath and pull out a notepad and a purple crayon.
“Aish, those kids,” you say, turning around to place them on the side table next to you.
“Next time we’ll be finding pacifiers and bottles under them,” Jin says with a small laugh. You two turn to face each other as you’re both laying down now.
“Are you really happy about us having another one?” you ask, needing reassurance. Jin nods at you, reaching out to push your hair back and resting his hand on the side of your head. His thumb rubs your cheek.
“I am, don’t worry. I feel a lot better now that I told you everything. And that we told our friends everything as well,” he says. “My shoulders feel a lot lighter.”
“I’m glad,” you say. “I’m really excited.” You smile up at him.
“I missed you,” he says. “We didn’t see each other for a week and then this happened right when you came back.” You sigh.
“I know, it’s okay though, we’ll make it up.”
“Definitely, because now that you’re pregnant, I’m staying home,” he says, pinching your cheek as you frown.
“wHat do you mean staying home?”
“You can’t work and take care of all three kids by yourself. I’ll do what I did while you were gone so that you don’t get too tired or anything. We need you and baby safe.” He moves his hand away from your face to put on your belly. “I’ll work from home most of the week. I’ll take the kids to school. I’ll make breakfas–”
“Jin,” you laugh, interrupting him.
“What?”
“I’m okay,” you tell him, a big smile on your face. “We can do all of that together.”
“Are you sure? I don’t want you to get too tired or anything–”
“Baby number four remember? Minseok is a big boy now, and Soojin is a big girl, we’ll be okay. Haneul on the other hand… I’m sure everything’s going to be fine with him.” Jin bite his lips, but nods anyway.
“Okay, fine, fine,” he says. “I can’t believe it’s number four…”
“I know!” you shout, but in a whisper.
“Do you really think we can do this?” Jin asks, hesitantly. You scoot closer to him, cupping his cheek.
“With you by my side.. Of course. I know we don’t tell each other this often, but you really are a great dad to our kids. An even greater husband even. The boys also say you’re the best hyung ever,” you say with a little laugh. “We might not be perfect, and life might not go how we want it sometimes. But it’s all going to be okay. Let’s not worry about anything and just enjoy the ride. Life’s too short.” You give him a small smile. “Here or not, you’re the best dad our kids are ever going to have. We’ll always be perfect in their eyes.”
Jin felt so lucky to have you.
All of his friends as well, really.
Especially the one who was there through it all.
flashback to part 22<<
It’s getting late, everyone was now heading home. Jin had just buckled Haneul up in his car seat, still fast asleep.
“Hyung! Wait!” Taehyung shouts, running towards Jin. He was about to get in the driver seat of his car, his hand was already on the handle.
“Taehyung-ah, what’s wrong?”
“Hyung,” he pants. “Oh my gosh, I think I’m out of shape,” he says, leaning against Jin’s car.
“Taehyung I have to get home–”
“Yes, but before you do,” Taehyung says, letting out a deep breath. “I know we weren’t any help in there.” He points back up to the building the Jung’s lived in. “And only because you weren’t telling us everything.” Jin looks away from Taehyung, looking down at his hand on the handle and closing the door in front of him. Taehyung moves his head down to look Jin in the eye.
“It’s because you’re scared right? Because of what happened during Yn’s third pregnancy?” he says. Jin looks up at him, he forgot that Taehyung knew. He was the only one out of his friends that did.
“It–” he sighs. “Yeah. It’s not like I don’t want the baby, and I know I’ve been saying that over and over… but only because I feel like you all think I don’t by the way I’m acting but you know I can’t talk about what happened,” Jin says. “None of them know about it, Yn and I don’t like bringing it up.”
“I know. I couldn’t tell you what I wanted to because of it.” Taehyung says.
“Hyung. You are not perfect,” Taehyung straight up says, making Jin laugh. “No one is. I know you and noona feel pressured about it sometimes and I’m here to tell you that there’s no need to. We all understand. One kid is hard enough for all of us, you have three. It’s okay to feel stressed, it’s okay to complain. I know you had a lot on your shoulders this past week, and I know about your fears from the last pregnancy noona had. Even though you never mentioned it. I can tell. It’s okay to feel this way.”
“Hyung the boys had a hard time giving you advice because they all know how much you love your family and I guess it was weird for them because the situation has been a lot different than the last three. We’re so used to seeing you and noona be so excited to tell all of us about your new baby so I guess we were just in shock? I don’t know.”
“It’s okay Taehyung, I know, I was confused too. I didn’t know what to ask for help with. I couldn’t tell you all everything and I feel like if I was able to give you all the full details of why I’m feeling this way… I just know for sure that you all would be reassuring me right now.”
“I know, but you’re not ready to tell us about all of it and that’s okay. I’m the only one who knows what happened so I thought about everything I wanted to say to you after everyone’s left.” Taehyung puts his hand on Jin’s shoulder.
“Hyung, you’re one of the best dad’s I know. The past week was hard but you’re doing your best. I know that, we all do. And I’m sure so does noona and the kids. I know life’s unexpected, but you and noona got through everything so far, you’ll get through this one. I have never been in your situation, I still don’t have my very own kid, but I could tell from watching all of you parents that it’s hard and it’s scary sometimes. But at the end of the day you have each other and life’s great! You and noona were the next ones to have a kid after Namjoon and Eunji and so I understand why you were so scared then. And then you and noona lost the baby so the whole pregnancy for Haneul was terrifying for you, I remember. So it’s okay to feel this way right now. I just want you to know that I understand what you’re going through and that you’re not alone… I know no one else really knows about this so you can always talk to me hyung if anything.”
Jin nods, wiping his eyes before any tear decides to fall.
“It’s okay hyung, everything’s going to be okay. Don’t worry about anything.”
