Tug of Fate
He looks at Hyun with a softness he hasn’t felt before, as though something deep inside him has clicked. Taehyung watches them silently, his own heart conflicted as he sees Hyun responding to Jungkook in a way he hasn’t seen before.
Jeon Jungkook
Can I… can I hold him?
Taehyung hesitates. He looks at Hyun, then at Jungkook, unsure whether to trust him.
Jeon Jungkook
*Reassuringly* It’s okay. Maybe he just needs… a little distraction.
After a moment of internal debate, Taehyung nods reluctantly. Carefully, he hands Hyun over to Jungkook. Jungkook cradles the baby gently, his movements careful as if he’s afraid to break him.
Hyun wiggles a little, but Jungkook sways him gently, whispering softly.
Jeon Jungkook
Shh… it’s okay, buddy.
Hyun looks up at Jungkook with wide, curious eyes. His cries slowly fade into soft whimpers as he clings to Jungkook’s shirt. Jungkook smiles, feeling an inexplicable warmth spreading through him again.
Jeon Jungkook
💭 Why do I feel… so connected to him? Like I’ve known him before.
Taehyung watches silently, his heart conflicted but grateful that Hyun is finally calm. For the first time in a while, he feels a flicker of relief as he watches Jungkook holding his son so tenderly.
Jungkook gently rocks Hyun in his arms, the baby now calm but clinging tightly to him as if seeking comfort. Taehyung watches silently, his emotions a mix of gratitude and unease. Suddenly, hurried footsteps echo down the corridor, and Lily appears, her eyes widening at the sight before her.
Lily/Jungkook's best friend
*Stopping abruptly* Jungkook! What are you doing? You’re still injured, and now you’re holding someone’s baby?😠
Jeon Jungkook
I’m fine, Lily. Stop overreacting. The little guy needed help, so I’m helping.
Lily/Jungkook's best friend
Seriously? 🙄
She steps closer, her gaze shifting to Hyun. As she studies his face, something catches her attention, and her expression changes to surprise.

*Raising an eyebrow* Wait a second… don’t you think this baby looks a little like you?
Jungkook stiffens, his brows furrowing as he looks down at Hyun. The baby’s innocent gaze meets his, and for a moment, Jungkook feels something stir deep inside him—a strange sense of familiarity he can’t explain. Taehyung tenses visibly, his knuckles tightening against the bench.
Jeon Jungkook
*Awkwardly, brushing it off* What are you even talking about? Don’t start with your weird theories.😂
Lily shrugs but narrows her eyes slightly, her curiosity piqued. Taehyung, meanwhile, forces himself to keep quiet, though his heart races. The silence grows thick until....
Kim Taehyung
Thank you for calming him, but I should take him back to the chamber now. The doctor is waiting.
Jungkook hands Hyun over carefully, but as soon as Taehyung holds him, Hyun bursts into loud cries again, his little hands reaching out desperately toward Jungkook. Taehyung groans, trying to soothe him, but nothing seems to work.
Kim Taehyung
*Frustrated* Hyun, please… I can’t do this right now.
Jeon Jungkook
*Stepping closer, concerned*
Hey, it’s okay. He’s comfortable with me. Let me take him back to the doctor.
Kim Taehyung
*Shaking his head quickly* No, I’ve already bothered you enough. This is my responsibility.
Lily/Jungkook's best friend
*Scoffing, stepping in*
Exactly! Jungkook, you’ve done enough already. You’re hurt, remember? Let him handle his own kid.
Taehyung flinches slightly at Lily’s tone, his fingers tightening around Hyun’s tiny arm. His eyes dart between Jungkook and Lily, his heart racing with a mixture of surprise and fear. The last thing he wants is for anyone to see him as incapable or weak.
Jeon Jungkook
Lily, I’m fine. Can you stop acting like I’m dying?
Lily/Jungkook's best friend
*Crossing her arms, raising an eyebrow*
I’m just saying you don’t need to play hero all the time. It’s not like the baby is your—
