Chapter 3

wahhhh!!

Jeongguk bolted out of bed. What the heck was that?!

He ran over to his light switch and flicked it on.

Oh. Yeah. He had a baby. And it was crying. Shoot! It's crying! What do I do?! He panicked and ran toward the crying girl and picked her up.

"Hey baby Daddy's got ya. That's it, calm down. Are you hungry? Do you want a bottle?" Jeongguk cooed, talking to Eun Jung and slightly bouncing her up and down.

Jeongguk made his way to the kitchen, his daughter slightly whimpering. He was going to turn on the lights when he realized they were already shining, and Taehyung was heating up a bottle.

"What are you doing?" Jeongguk asked.

"I heard Eunie crying and I figured it was about time for her to be fed, so when I realized I probably wasn't going back to sleep I decided to be helpful," he smiled tiredly, eyes drooping, and put the bottle in the microwave for 30 seconds. After the timer beeped loudly, Taehyung tested it out on his wrist, making sure it wasn't too hot nor too cold.

Tae nodded in satisfaction and handed it to Jeongguk, who turned off the kitchen light and made his way over to the couch, Taehyung following him.

After settling down, Jeongguk propped Eun Jung on his arm and started feeding her. She gladly accepted the bottle, and drank it until not even a single drop remained.

And as they had been taught earlier, Jeongguk put a rag over his shoulder and rested her head atop it, her stomach pressing flat against his chest. Jeongguk gently started to pat her until she let out a little burp. Thankfully, there was no spit up, and Eun Jung had fallen asleep once more.

Jeongguk sighed and rested his head against Tae's shoulder. Taehyung laughed quietly at the half asleep younger and gently laid down on the couch, pulling Jeongguk and Eunie on top of him. With his Kookie curled up on his side, Taehyung carefully took Eun Jung and held her in his arms.

Two minutes later, soft snores could be heard from both Jeongguk and the baby, and Kook's arm had found its way on to Eun Jung, his hand softly grazing her tiny arm. Taehyung fell asleep with more love in his heart than he's felt in a long time.

Maybe having a baby in the apartment wouldn't be so bad after all.

JEONGGUK'S POV

I woke up with the sun shining through the windows, surrounded by warmth.

Comfortable. Was the first thing I thought.

But why was I on the couch? And why was it so warm?

I propped my self up on my elbow and took in my surroundings. Eun Jung was laying between Tae and I, my head had been resting on his chest, and my arm was around him and my baby girl. Well... our baby girl? I'm not sure. I don't know what Tae thinks about the situation. I don't know if he wants to be an uncle, a father, a distant relative, or just nothing. Only time will tell... Or a conversation, but I hate confrontation, I'd rather not.

I lied back down and looked at my sleepy daughter. Wahhhh she was so cute. I picked up her tiny hand in mine and kissed it. "You're so adorable," I whispered.

"Thanks, I know," Tae responded in a low, gravelly voice, his morning voice to be exact. I'm not even gonna lie anymore, I may have blushed. Not only at his comment but just at his voice. I mean, no. No I didn't blush. He's my bro. Yeah, because bros also cuddle on the couch. And raise children together. Yep. Totally normal. Right?

"I was talking to Eun Jung," I responded, sitting up.

"Mhm. Sure you were," he said in a disbelieving tone. As if! How would he even know?! His eyes were shut!

"I'm gonna change Eun Jung's diaper," I said, standing up and gently grabbing my baby as to not wake her up.

"I'll help," Tae said getting up as well.

"I can do it by myself," I said assuringly, wanting to get away before I blush even more.

"Mhm. Sure you can. What's the first step?" He asked, not believe I could do it at all.

"Umm... You... Do that thing... And then the other thing?" It

came out as more of a question then a statement.

"Okay yeah I'm definitely helping. I don't want our baby going around with her diaper on inside out and backwards," He spoke, standing up and making his way over to the changing station with me.

Wait, our baby? So he does want to be a part of this? Like, fully committed?

"Are you going to put her down or ... ?" Tae asked, snapping

me back to attention.

"Oh. Yeah," I replied, putting her down on the changing table.

After five minutes, we finally got her cleaned up and the diaper on the right way. And of course we changed her into a fresh onesie, again, the color pink. That's all Seokjin bought. Pink.

"Jeongukie," Taehyung asked as we laid in his bed, Eun Jung in between us, sleeping yet again. I swear that girl could sleep through an earth quake.

I hummed in response. "We have classes in two days. What are we going to do with Eunie?" He asked softly, not raising his voice due to the resting girl between them.

"I thought about that this morning and texted Seokjinnie. He said that Namjoon needs to write lyrics for a new song that he needs to produce this week and he can take her with him. He said he'll be at Jin's cafe most of the time so they'll both be able to look after her. And we can stop by through out the day and check up on her in between classes."

"Wow, you've got every thing planned out don't you?" Tae asked, looking over at me.

"I guess I do, huh," I smiled to myself and looked over at Tae.

"God you're beautiful," Tae whispered under his breath. "What was that?" I asked, not clearly hearing what he said.

"Nothing," Tae sighed, "nothing at all."

Although I know when Tae is lying, it was clear he wasn't going to tell me what he had said and I didn't want to intrude. "Okay," I said back, acting as if I believed him.

It was 8 o'clock and Eun Jung had just gotten a bath and fed. Let me tell you. Baths, the seemingly most easy thing to do, turns out to be the hardest. One moment every thing is going fine and it's all good, and then the next moment water is every where and both Tae and I are slipping and falling in all of the water that somehow got out. Not. Fun.

"Do you wanna have a sleep over?" I asked Tae. It'd been a while since we've done so, and I feel like with the stress of the past two days, we needed one.

"Sure!" Tae happily agreed.

We met in my room and decided to watch Sixteen Candles. With Eun Jung asleep, I placed her in the crib, and walked back over to my bed where Tae was waiting with open arms.

I climbed under the fuzzy blankets and snuggled into Tae, his arms circled around me providing warmth.

I woke up around 3 am and our position had completely changed. Tae had his head on my chest, and his left leg was wrapped around me like a koala bear. I should be used to it by now, as it happens almost every time we sleep together, but it's still one of the cutest things to wake up to, and I don't think I'll ever get used to it.

TAEHYUNG'S POV

I woke up at nine am, arms and legs wrapped around Jeongguk. After soaking in the warmth for a couple more seconds and overall just trying to wake up, I opened my eyes slowly, letting them adjust to the bright light. I heard what sounded like two papers brushing together and looked up, only to see Jeongguk propped up in bed, staring intently at the pages of a parenting book. This boy couldn't get any cuter.
