CHAPTER 26
News

"I'm pregnant. And congratulations, you're the father."

Everybody went silent as Eunbi threw a stack of papers directly to Jungkook's direction.

Taehyung was dumbfounded. All he can think about is that this issue should've died a long time ago.

"N-No... there has to be a mistake!" Jungkook defended, getting into a defensive position. "A-As far as I remember, I never had an interaction with you!"

Eunbi pursed her lips and titled her head to the side, making an irritating gesture. "But there was that time during new years eve--"

"Stop pestering him. If he says so, I believe in him."

Taehyung walked forward and glared at Eunbi who was a bit shorter than her and scoffed.

"I thought you were so nice, noona. But now I see your true colors, I'm sorry if I act disrespectful towards you who is older than me. You're making Jungkook uncomfortable."

"Well," Eunbi coughed while regaining her composure from the sudden startle she had from Taehyung. "It turns out you're Jungkookie's boyfriend after all. Tell me, did it hurt when he denied you right in front of everybody in the courtyard? I think you know how I feel right now."

Taehyung gritted his teeth and made both of his palms into fists, trying not to be physical towards her. "But you don't have any concrete proof. Let's say you're pregnant, but that doesn't automatically mean Jungkook's the father."

"W-Wait, both of you..." Jungkook tried to separate them and speak, but he was  unheard due to the other two's commotion being loud enough to overpower his voice.

They didn't even hear his continuous coughs as they resumed arguing.

Eunbi gulped and  continued arguing, she had no intention of backing down.

"Why don't we just get this over with?! Don't you have any mercy? We're graduating anyways so can't Jungkook just marry me so this wouldn't be such a shame?"

Taehyung scratched his head and gave her a pitiful look. "Don't tell me you just want Jungkook to marry you?"

"Yes! I mean, no," Eunbi looked away for a second and glared back. "I mean... Of course I do want to because he has now a responsibility, and that's to care for me."

"I'm pretty sure if you're so confident you will agree to have a DNA test about it?"

"My uncle is a medical professional! He already did these tests to me, isn't that more than enough?!"

"I can't handle your level of obsession and stupidity."

"You're just jealous--"

A sudden thud made both Taehyung and Eunbi quiet. They then looked for where the sound came from on reflex.

Taehyung's eyes widened in shock and surprise when he discovers that it was Jungkook who made that sound when he fell down the floor on his knees with both of his hands covering his mouth.

"A-Are you okay?" Taehyung ran to the other boy who was at the verge of passing out.

At the same time, on Jungkook's vision, everything around him was spinning and he felt light headed. Thankfully, Taehyung caught his head on time before his whole body almost hit the floor.

"What's wrong? Are you dizzy?! Are you hurt somewhere?"

Jungkook heard all of these questions coming out of Taehyung's mouth, but even if he wanted to, he couldn't muster a reply.

He tried keeping his hands on his mouth, but because of his eye sight turning black and his limbs becoming numb, he had lost control of his hand nerves and it fell on his side as he completely passed out.

And that's how Taehyung screamed for help as he realized how pale and sweaty Jungkook was.

Plus he began panicking as he saw a substance dripping out of Jungkook's mouth and it was splattered to some of the unconscious boy's own hands.

Blood.

"Is he here?!"

Taehyung raised his head up from his lap and looked at the visitors who were panting hard, as if they just ran a marathon.

It was Jungkook's friends, Namjoon, Hoseok and Yoongi looked pretty worried as they waited for Taehyung's answer. 

He pointed at the only space of the emergency room with curtains down and the trio ran again to the direction where Taehyung pointed.

As they were gone to check on him, Taehyung looked back on his lap and began crying. He didn't actually know the exact reason why he was, but he knew that there was something Jungkook wasn't telling him.

Or was about to, if that girl didn't intervene.

"Hey, Taehyung. It's been five hours since Jungkook fainted, you should get some rest." Seokjin came with a sad smile and gave Taehyung a bottle of iced coffee he had brought for him.

"Thanks for bringing his friends here, hyung. I could tell they were worried sick for him... and I think there's something they know about Jungkook that I don't."

Jin opened his own bottle of iced coffee and glanced at the other who was looking at a distance. "What makes you say that?"

Taehyung sighed and began to recall what happened earlier.

"I was on the middle of an argument with Eunbi when Jungkook fainted. When he did, I saw that Eunbi got surprised and told me to bring him to a hospital and ran away. I didn't see where she went, but I followed her advice anyway."

"Now that you mentioned it," Jin spoke. "When I called Namjoon and told him Jungkook's in a hospital, he replied; 'what?! again? where is he?'"

"I knew it, there's something I should know about Jungkook."

"...and I saw Jungkook coughing blood one time in the dormitory. I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, it's just that... he himself denied that he was. Maybe he doesn't want you to know, whatever that is."

Seokjin patted Taehyung's back and ruffled his hair to give him some comfort.

"You know, I have a good news."

"What?"

"Jimin's mother is close with your mom, right? I got informed that she's considering to fix her relationship with your father, and there's a huge chance they might get back together once again. Isn't that great? Your family is back."

"Thanks for the effort of telling me that, hyung," Taehyung smiled and held Jin's nervous but excited ones. "I'm happy that my biological family's finally making up but..."

"But?"

Taehyung wiped the tears that was once again falling from the corners of both of his eyes. "I have one more family that I want to be back badly than anybody else right now."

"And he wants to talk to you," Namjoon's voice echoed around the almost empty emergency room. He pointed his thumb right at the direction where Jungkook stayed. "He wants to tell you something important."

a/n: 

why is "our secret" so complicated and confusing?

unlike other books, whenever i publish my works, they are all... raw. unedited, not proofread. there might be many mistakes that i overlooked in the first few chapters, that's why i'm not saying yes to translation requests. once this book is finished that's the time i will edit everything, so things might not be the same (at some point).

when is the next update?

i don't really know because i'm graduating student this year ( yayy ). thanks for those who are patiently waiting for every update! ily all, thanks for reading.
