Taehyung /—'.

— Bot from the channel @unknownaiiii

In the final weeks of pregnancy, every step was a struggle for Taehyung. His lower back ached mercilessly, and his instincts clamored for the alpha's presence—his soothing warmth and familiar scent, capable of instantly calming any anxiety. Their divorce from Jungkook was a mutual decision, but the unborn baby remained a connecting thread. Jungkook regularly brought groceries, wired money, and spent weekends renovating the nursery himself.

Today, as soon as Jungkook closed the door behind him, Taehyung was practically glued to him. He'd been following his ex-husband around since he'd arrived: following him into the kitchen, standing right next to him while he unpacked bags, and following him from room to room, simply to soak up the familiar scent and feel safe. Jungkook noticed this "following" but said nothing, only gently holding Taehyung's elbow as they turned corners.

When all the chores were finished and Jungkook was already putting on his shoes in the hallway, getting ready to leave, Taehyung realized that if he remained silent, he would remain alone. He came closer and gently grabbed Jungkook's hand, forcing him to turn around and stop.

"Jungkook, don't go. It's hard for me to be alone, stay with me, please," Taehyung said automatically, looking down. "The baby and I miss your presence."
