“Don't lie to me,” Jimin whispers, his throat closing in around...

In his rage, Jimin tugs at the strings that keep the robe together. The silk material falls around his feet, leaving his bare for the alpha's eyes.
“Look at me!” Jimin thunders.
“So much changed,” Yoongi murmurs, taking Jimin's hands in his and gently guiding him back to the mirror.
He makes Jimin stand in front of the mirror, and he stands behind Jimin. Both of them look at Jimin through the mirror.
“You carried two pups in you,” Yoongi whispers, “you were put through so much tension, so many hardships and this body endured it all,” Yoongi kisses Jimin's bare shoulder, “it changed to carry out the responsibility it was given. I won't tell you how you should feel about your body, blossom, but I feel so thankful and proud.”
Jimin closes his eyes, “shut up.”
Yoongi leaves open-mouth kisses on Jimin's bare shoulder, “you are driving me crazy here, blossom.”
Jimin shivers, feeling the alpha's moist lips over his skin. He blinks, looking at the mirror again. Yoongi's eyes meet his through the mirror.
Jimin ducks his head, “you know how to smooth talk. I will give you that.”
Jimin's chest feels tight, “I want to get into the post-partum counselling. I want to overcome these thoughts and worries.”
Jimin blows out a sigh, “I will,” he wraps his arms around Yoongi, resting his head on Yoongi's chest, “I want to get over these thoughts and also,” he closes his eyes, “talk about my entire pregnancy. It wasn't an ideal situation, to say the least. I want to heal from it and not let those negative thoughts cloud my future.”
Jimin looks up at Yoongi, “I want to do this right, alpha, you are joining me too,” he offers a tentative smile to Yoongi, “for our future, I want both of us to heal before we face all these situations all over again.”
Yoongi's heart comes to a screeching halt, “all these situations…?”
“Yes!” Yoongi nods eagerly with glossy eyes, “yes, I want that too. All of that. Whatever you said.”
“Then, we got to start healing from our pasts,” he whispers against Yoongi's lips, “because, some day, I want to do this all with you again.”
Yoongi kisses Jimin again, nodding against the omega's lips, “okay. Yeah. We will work on ourselves from here on and when we think the time is right, we will plan it all this time.”
As Jimin lies, his head resting on Yoongi's chest, Yoongi's arm wrapped around him, he feels much better.
Yoongi pulls the blanket over them as they talk in a low voice between them.
“This is a gift from uncle hobi!” Hoseok grins while holding out a box where the chains with the sun pendants rest, “he kept it with him for so damn long!”
It's the sip and see for the pups, where Yoongi and Jimin invited the close circle of theirs to introduce their pups officially.
“Look at them!” Hoseok sniffles, “oh, god, so beautiful!”
“Is he going to cry again?” Taehyung whines, “god, hyung, stop crying every time you see the babies!”
He smiles when the pups wear those, kicking their feet.
“I got nothing for you two,” Jungkook boops their noses, “but, thanks for taking the title of the 'youngest of the family,' away from me. Finally!”
Jungkook's cheeks are dusted pink as he glares at Taehyung before he gets up on his feet and leaves the room. He comes back with a small paperbag.
“I don't know how they turned out,” Jungkook says, glaring at Jimin, “but, make fun of them and I will-”
“You will what?” Jimin reaches to tug Jungkook's ear, “hmm?”
Jungkook shrugs, “take it back.”
Yoongi laughs, “what is it?”
“I knitted them myself,” Jungkook grumbles, face red, as he frowns at them, “they are not perfect-”
“This fucking piece of sap-” Taehyung hides his face into his hands.
Jimin gapes at the onesies and back at Jungkook. Yoongi stares, sharing the same look with Jin, Namjoon and Hoseok.
“You knitted them?” Yoongi stares.
“Yeah!” Jungkook bobs his head, “you taught me-”
“You know how to knit?!” Jimin gasps.
Taehyung hums, “yeah, hyung would make jumpers for us.”
Yoongi fumbles, cheeks as pink and Jungkook's, “well, it has been ages-”
Yoongi glares at Jungkook, “all your fault!”
Jungkook smiles, “no worries, I will help you.”
“When did you get the time?” Taehyung snaps.
“During work,” Jungkook looks over at him.
Taehyung gapes, “you mean, after killing someone or threatening them, you got the time...”
“No, during interrogation, actually,” Jungkook says, “when they don't talk for hours. I sit and knit-”
“I give up,” Taehyung holds up his hands, “no, seriously, I give up!”
He looks over at Yoongi who is looking at a sleeping Yoonji in his hold. The alpha's eyes are glued on the baby with a small smile on his lips.
Yoongi blinks, breaking out of his trance, “me?” he chuckles, looking down at Yoonji again, “just… how surreal it all feels.”
Jimin frowns with confusion. Yoongi notices, smiling to himself.
Jimin snorts, looking at Jiyoon in his hold, “I was so terrified. I thought I will leave and never tell you.”
“Let it go,” Jimin loops their arms together, resting his head on Yoongi's shoulder, “you didn't know better. Neither did I. We made mistakes, it's time we forgive ourselves for it.”
Jimin's chest fills with fresh air as he nods, “I know,” he looks up at the alpha with a fond smile, “I know. I love you too,” he squirms closer to the alpha, “from today onwards, we will only look at our future together and not live in our pasts. Promise that to me.”
Jimin gives him a blinding smile, pulling him down for a kiss, “good.”
He knows there will be ups and downs in the future but right at this moment, sitting with their babies in their hold, Yoongi right by his side, he thinks he will manage.
Yoongi squeezes Jimin closer to himself, kissing him on the mouth. Jimin closes his eyes, absorbing the kiss with a sigh.
They will take one day at a time. Today is a good day. Tomorrow, they will see what comes their way.
“Hyung, can I talk to you for a second?”
Yoongi looks at Taehyung with a smile, “sure. What is it, Tae?”
Taehyung gestures at the balcony, “alone?”
Yoongi nods, following Taehyung outside, leaving the others in the room, “what is it, Tae?”
“Were you never going to tell me this?” Taehyung murmurs, his voice icy.
Yoongi looks at the phone, reads the PDF, and looks back at Taehyung, “Tae, listen-”
Yoongi grips the phone in his hold, “Tae-”
“Yes or no, Min Yoongi,” Taehyung stands up straight, almost towering over Yoongi, “yes or no.”
“It's not a yes or no question, Tae!” Yoongi hisses, “you have to listen to me if you want an answer!”
“Taehyung!” Yoongi calls after the omega as Taehyung storms out of the balcony, “listen to me!”
Everyone looks at them, alert, confused. Taehyung stops in the middle of the room, looking at Jimin who is looking at him with concern and confusion.
The omega storms out of the room, leaving behind five pairs of confused eyes who look back at Yoongi for answers.
Yoongi lets out a sigh, “fuck.”
