chapter 4

JEONGGUK'S POV

It was Monday. And that means classes. After woke up and admired Tae at 3 am (that's not weird is it? We're just bros... Bro.) Eun Jung had woken up crying and didn't stop until 7 am. We tried feeding her, changing her, calming her down, nothing. She just wouldn't stop crying. don't know how her lungs can handle that much screaming! She's so tiny.

Tae walked into the kitchen and sat on the counter stool next to me. Eun Jung was already in her carrier beside me on the floor, all ready to go for Namjoon. I poured Tae a bowl of cereal and slid it over to him. "Here," said groggily from lack of sleep.

"Thanks," Tae slurred. I looked over at him once had finished my cereal and saw that he had large dark circles under his eyes, I recoiled. "What?" he asked. "Is there something on my face?" He brought a hand up self consciously.

"Have you looked in the mirror? Your dark circles are huge!" I commented.

"Have you looked in the mirror? Yours are huge!"

We both took out our phones and looked at ourselves through the view finder. Oh sh-. Mine are as bad as Tae's!

"Maybe Jin hyung will have some makeup?" Tae suggested hopefully.

"Let's count on it."

......

"Eun Jung! You look even cuter today than you did when last saw you! How are you baby girl?" Jin cooed.

"You guys gave him baby fever. hope you're happy," Namjoon commented with total disapproval. "Well we have to head off to our classes. Taetae and I'll meet here around lunch time is that okay?" I asked mainly Namjoon hyung as he was the appointed care taker.

"Yep, we'll be here all morning writing songs. Isn't that right Eun Jung?"

Eunie smiled in response. I have a good feeling they'll get along great.

"Kookie, you ready to go?" Tae asked, motioning towards the door.

Go? What was he talking about? Wait... School. Wait! I have to leave my baby?! No!

"Uhh... Namjoon hyung, um, can just, see her, real quick?" Namjoon handed me the carrier. "Thanks," I replied bashfully, and proceeded to run towards the door with my child as fast as I could. No one is separating me from my child today! Not today not tomorrow not ever satan Well. At least that was what thought until Tae grabbed my arm when tried passing him and he just brought me back over to Namjoon.

"Sorry for the inconvenience," Tae said, "he gets easily attached," he excused my behavior. "As ifl You leave me right now and nothing would happen. wouldn't even go after you," I stated haughtily. No way was going to be associated as weak. Nuh uh. He can leave me here right now this minute and I'll be perfectly fi-.

Wait. Where did he go?

Just then heard the bell to the door ring, as if someone had just entered or exited. I looked around me and the older boy was no where to be seen. Oh my gosh. He actually left me. He left mel What am going to do? have a child!! have to pay rent and college tuition! My best friend just left me OH MY GOSH!

I don't think I've ever ran faster in my life. I ran out the door, looked around me until I spotted the familiar brunette, and ran towards him until I finally caught up and jumped on his back. As landed an "oof" escaped from his mouth due to my unexpected weight.

"Why would you actually leave me? You know how attached I am!" | admitted. But it was true!

"We were going to be late to school, and know you never would've left Eun Jung. Plus was pretty sure you'd follow me, again, you're clingy, easily attached."

"Should feel offended orrr..." asked, still clinging on to him like a koala, my chin now resting on his shoulder.

"No, it's why I love you," he giggled.

Wait. What? Loves me? Wait, maybe he means as bros. Yeah. That's it.

"Love you too bro," replied back, just to fill the short silence that had created. may have imagined it, but did Tae's smile just falter? For a second he looked kind of sad, but his face was soon filled with his huge boxy smile. Makes me wonder if I really had imagined it all.

I got off Tae's back so he wouldn't struggle any longer. I had a lot of muscle and Tae was on the slimmer side and he was already starting to breathe hard, I didn't want him to suffer.

Instead threw my arm around his shoulder and pulled him against me. We were about the exact same height so could easily hug him or talk to him without having to look up or down. It was great let me tell you.

TAEHYUNG'S POV

Why was so disappointed? Jeongguk and had always been bros. We've always called each other bro. guess I've started getting uneasy about it a couple months ago. I mean, I'm gay, know that much. But do actually like Jeongguk like that? Does he like me like that? UGH. WHY IS THIS SO CONFUSING?! don't even know if Kook is gay, none the less do know if he likes me. Throughout all of high school, Jeongguk has had two girlfriends besides the occasional party hook up, and neither of them lasted too long. Maybe there is a chance.

We've been best friends for ten years, the thought of us being in a relationship is crazy... Right? But then again, Seokjin always hints at it. Jeongguk is unaware of Jin's behavior, but I'm not as gullible as him. Are these thoughts wrong?

I mean we kind of have a kid together. And Eun Jung should be our main priority right now. Just push away your feelings Tae, you'll be fine. It's all about Eun Jung.
