thank you to festa for bringing the writing vibes back :)
Jungkook makes good on his promise and sends Namjoon those old baby photos of Soobin after all. There're 15 file attachments sent through Kakao, followed by a sheepish sorry to spam you^^ that Namjoon chuckles at before reacting with a laughing emoticon. He sends a thank you jungkook-ah preemptively, taking a deep breath as he slides his finger back to the first of the photos. Namjoon is torn between tearing through the entire set and savoring each photo for what it's worth, but ultimately settles on flipping from photo to photo with the knowledge that he can always go back later. It's a mix of the scanned photos Jungkook mentioned before and a few snaps of a digital camera with the glaring orange dates in the corner. Soobin in a soft-looking Snoopy shirt, pressed up against a blank wall, barely smiling but dimples still fully on display. Soobin a little older, maybe around the same age as he was in the photo on Jungkook's desk, eyes curved into rounded smile lines as the baby pink beanie over his head droops past his eyebrows. He has little peace signs held up in front of him, arms crossed over his chest proudly. Baby Soobin asleep on Jungkook's mom's chest, photo taken from the side to show her hand pressed to his neck as she looks down at her grandchild with a smile, looking so much like Jungkook that it makes Namjoon ache. Namjoon wonders what each member of Jungkook's family looks like now, thinks about how they must've aged in the twenty years it's been since he saw them with his own two eyes. They'd always been kind to him, always made space for him in their lives. Would they be surprised to see how Namjoon turned out? Would they be disappointed? Namjoon thinks of the way his own mother reacted to the news and has to question whether that same sympathy afforded to Jungkook would be extended to him, too. And right in the middle of the mix, a snap Namjoon isn't sure Jungkook even meant to send. It's a younger Jungkook in a soft white cable-knit sweater with his hands under his belly, hair grown past his ears falling softly against full cheeks rounded from pregnancy. In age alone, he should be the closest to the Jungkook of Namjoon's memory, but is wholly foreign to Namjoon's eyes. Nothing about him is familiar, but if there's something Jeon Jungkook always is, it's beautiful. Namjoon has seen the way Taehyung's face glowed each time he was pregnant, but nothing could have prepared Namjoon for the sight Jungkook made with his belly full of Soobin, the child they created together. He's a dream, bump perfectly rounded in his hands as he grins cheekily at the camera. How Namjoon wishes he could've beholden that selfsame Jungkook with his own eyes.

as much as i hate to break it to you jungkook, things change when your husband becomes king 😬
“I’ve never seen someone look so unnatural with their baby. It seems Jimin hasn’t warned you yet, but you need to fix that before the coronation. Hell, before the queen’s memorial.” Jungkook’s jaw drops. He can’t believe what he’s hearing. It’s easier to be angry than it is to be hurt, lost, confused, and so he scrambles to get in his own word, pure loathing suddenly coursing through his veins. “You’re an omega too,” he seethes. “You love Beomgyu just as much as Taehyung and Yoongi do; how can you sit and say something like that to me? Are you fucking serious?” “Dead serious. The difference between you and me is that the crown isn’t my life nor is it my family. It doesn’t matter who I love or what I do in my private world because I made it so. These are the direct results of your actions, Jungkook-ah. You made these choices and you have to live with the consequences. One of those consequences, believe it or not, is that you’re an extension of the crown. The moment you put your face out into the public and chose to marry Namjoon is the same moment you chose a life where media would eat you alive if they saw you behaving like this with your baby. You know better; you know you can’t turn off this grand duke shit as you please. This is the life you chose for yourself, so I’m telling you to act like it.” It’s cruel. How Seokjin can look so unaffected by his own words, he’ll never understand. Jungkook’s world hasn’t stopped falling apart since the moment they agreed to this plan to fucking assassinate the queen, and Seokjin sits here with the audacity to tell him to get his act together. He can’t, he can’t, he won’t. “Fine, it was my choice. I chose to be a part of this, I chose to be the show pony of an entire nation. What about Namjoon? He was born into this circus. He has no choice. Life isn’t fair, we’re all-we’re all doing the best we can. I’m trying.” “And what do you think Namjoon was doing?” Seokjin asks sharply, eyes glinting black as they narrow to thin slits. “He did everything he could to get back to you because he promised you he’d be there. He heard how scared you were, just saw your brother die before his very eyes. Even with six guards meeting us at the safe house, he reversed all my orders and demanded to be brought to you.” Seokjin pauses to exhale loudly. “When his mother died and everything went awry, he was thinking about you. You really mean to tell me that you can’t do this for him? You can’t be with him after he’s proven time and again that Yoongi be damned, this entire world be shot to hell and back—he wants you?” It’s the most scathing look Seokjin has ever directed toward Jungkook. In turn, Jungkook can’t believe he ever slept with him, the mere memory drawing his skin tight. It tells Jungkook everything he needs to know about allegiance, that Seokjin before anything else is Namjoon’s best friend. Not his.
