Chapter Eighteen
"Are you ready, love?"
Seokjin looked at Taehyung. He just shook his head still trying to fix his clothes.
He doesnt want to hide his baby bump because it's useless and it's also very uncomfortable but he needs to do it anway, he doesnt want to read any rude comments about their baby anymore.
"Wait outside. Im almost done." Seokjin said.
The older looked at his phone that is on top of their bed. He immediately picked it up and answered the call as he saw his mother's name.
"Mom..."
He sat on the edge of his bed.
"Oh! My baby, how are you?"
He smiled when he heard his mother's voice. She sounds so worried but he really missed hearing her voice. This is the first time that his mother called since his pregnancy.
"Im doing fine, Mom." He smiled.
The deep sigh of her mother can be heard and Seokjin could even imagine her forehead creased.
"Im sorry, I only got the chance to call now," His mother hissed, "I didnt know it, Jin! We didnt. We just got back from London and when we came here the news of you being pregnant welcomed us?"
Seokjin bit his lower lip. He already expected his mother to react this way.
"Sorry, Mom. I want to tell you guys when you came back." Seokjin said.
He doesnt want to stress his parents who's probably busy as they went overseas for a business trip and not to have fun.
"I.. Im sorry, Mom. Sorry to dis.. dissapoint you." Seokjin's lips quivered as he tried to prevent his tears,
He almost cursed at himself. He keeps on crying in every little things and he wants to snap at himself for being so emotional every damn second.
"No, baby. You didnt dissapoint anyone." His mother said trying to assure him.
That made his tear fell from his eyes. He couldnt help but to hiccup which made him brought his hands up to cover his mouth and prevent any crying sound.
These past few days has been so rough for him. The harsh comments that he saw and the way the fans who used to love them has screamed so many hurtful things at him in person literally broke his heart and hearing his mother's sweet calming voce just made it all better, it made him feel assured and good in so many ways.
"If you dont mind asking, Seokjin," His mother sounds hesitant, "Is Taehyung involve?" She asked.
Seokjin let out a proud smile as if his mother can see it.
"Yes, Mom. He's very responsible." Seokjin said sounding so happy.
His mother let out a deep sigh. The fact that her son is away from her and is pregnant worries her a lot and hearing that the father is involve made her let out a sigh of relief. She loves her youngest son so much.
"You can come home anytime you want, Jin. Your father and I missed you a lot." His mother said.
"Yes, Mom. I have to go, I love you."
"I love you too..."
Seokjin ended the call with a big smile plastered on his face.
They have an interview that time. The first one since they announced Seokjin's pregnancy. It is making him nervous but he knows that he needs to it anyway.
He just cant hide forever. He cant make the management reject all the offers for the group and make every single one of the suffer just because of him.
The interview will be held in a studio and only a few pictures of them will be taken then they're free to go. It's just like a test as to how the fans will react and as to how they're taking the news right now if they moved on or they cant still accept it.
Admit it or not, Seokjin's pregnancy really has an affect to their group. The reason as to why the management is being extra careful right now and is doing everything to know how they can divert the fan's attention into something.
The car stopped because of the fans running towards their direction. All of them sighed because of it, this will be hard once again.
The boys exchanged glances and looked at Seokjin. They can pass through that crowd but they doesnt know if Seokjin can and they're very much worried for him.
"Hoseok and I will go out first so Seokjin hyung can go," Namjoon said, "Taehyung and Jungkook make sure that you're on both sides of him. Yoongi and Jimin stay at the back of them."
All of them nods their head agreeing to Namjoon. Of course, the guards are already waiting for them but the boys still wants to make sure.
"Whatever you hear, baby. Dont mind them, okay?" Taehyung said in almost a whisper putting the older's hoodie on.
Seokjin slowly nods his head at the younger as he let out a faint smile.
He shut his eyes closed and let out an exasperated sigh when Namjoon and Hoseok went out of the car already- Jungkook went out with Taehyung following behind holding Seokjin's hand, Yoongi and Jimin is following behind.
Seokjin looked down and his shoulder tensed up when he felt someone almost touched him. Taehyung saw it and he protectively wrapped his arms around the older's waist.
"Die Seokjin!"
"You b***h! Leave the group! w***e!"
"Taehyung break up with him!"
"Your baby is a f*****g curse, slut!"
Taehyung snapped his head up with an angry expression,
"Go away!" Taehyung shouted his veins already popping out,
He walked faster shoving some people who's trying to get to Seokjin. It actually shocked the other guards who's escorting them since Taehyung has always been so gentle and kind towards the fans, guess everyone has their limit.
Seokjin screwed his eyes shut covering his face with both of his palms as soon as they're already inside the studio.
Is it going to be like this? People wanting him to leave the group? People calling him degrading names? He bit his lower lip just by thinking about how hard it will be.
"Love, dont mind them." Taehyung said kissing the older's temple.
Seokjin looked at him letting out a tight-lipped smile but his lips immediately tugging downwards as he saw some scratches on Jungkook's arms.
The maknae saw his hyung's eyes on his scratches and he immediately hid it as he let out a smile at Seokjin.
Seokjin looked at the fans outside. It hurts but he still smiled. It hurts, really.
"I still love you, guys." He breathed out.
