Chapter Text
Now that Yoongi was showing, it seemed like everyone wanted to feel.
Yoongi was about sixteen weeks pregnant and had just recently started developing a baby bump. Before that, he just looked chubby and like he had put on a little weight, but now he was truly showing and looked properly pregnant when he wasn't covering up. His belly was round and stuck out, his belly button poking out, which he hated and thought was disgusting, but Hoseok loved it.
Hoseok couldn't keep his hands off of Yoongi when he first discovered he had a bump. Hoseok was obsessed with his boyfriend's new belly, hands always all over him when he had the chance, especially at night. When the two were in bed together, Hoseok always insist that they spoon so he could have his hands on their baby. Yoongi didn't mind since it kept him warm at night, and Hoseok was the dad, so he had the right to feel. Yoongi secretly liked it anyway, it brought him comfort.
The only problem was with the other members. Hoseok had all the time in the world to touch and feel Yoongi and his belly behind scenes and at the house, but every other member would touch him out in public rather than in secret. Whether they were on stage or at an interview, there was always a member right behind him with their arms around his waist, hands openly on his belly.
They still hadn't told ARMY yet, they were waiting another four weeks until they would absolutely have to tell the media. He was getting bigger and it was getting harder to hide the farther along he was. Yoongi had been wearing oversized and dark sweatshirts all week to hide himself. The bigger he got the more lethargic he became so the group had been going easy on the choreography. Fans were starting to question why this was happening, but no one had guessed that he was pregnant yet.
All of BTS was currently stationed backstage of Inkigayo, getting ready to perform Not Today and Spring Day. They were in the midst of getting their hair and makeup done, all of them already dressed. Today, Yoongi was wearing a pair of jeans with an altered waistline that the stylist noonas worked hard on in order for Yoongi to be comfortable. He couldn't fit into leather pants anymore so everyone else had to make the sacrifice to not wear them until after the baby was born. He also wore an avant-garde look with an oversized button down and a small, cropped sweater on top. Yoongi didn't understand the fashion in it, but he dealt with it.
Yoongi was resting on the couch before they all had to go out and perform on stage. It was a late Sunday night and Yoongi was tired, worn out by the day. He was propped up by the arm of the couch and had his head in his hand as he scrolled through his twitter feed. There were plenty of posts that ARMY's had posted about how excited they were to see the live show. Yoongi smiled a gummy smile as he read how excited they all were. He adored the fans, even though he wasn't always the best at expressing it. He truly appreciated it.
The couch dipped right next to him and Yoongi looked up to see Hoseok smiling just as wide as he could. There was a tissue underneath his bangs to keep them from sticking to his forehead and Yoongi chuckled, reaching up to poke at the soft material. Hoseok swatted his hand away, "Stop, my hair hasn't set yet," he warned, using his hand to smooth out any flyaways.
"Your hair is fine," Yoongi drawled, letting his hand go limp as it fell into his boyfriend's lap against his thigh. Hoseok's own hand grabbed for Yoongi's and their fingers intertwined together. Hoseok's hands were extremely warm as Yoongi's were cold as ice. Yoongi was freezing in that room, but he was always freezing now, "I'm cold," Yoongi shivered, attempting to snuggle into Hoseok. The younger male instead moved for him, slipping off his jacket and placing it on top of Yoongi. Then Yoongi placed his head on Hoseok's shoulder and felt the warmth from the younger, slowly warming him up. Now that Yoongi was covered with Hoseok's jacket, Hoseok snuck his hands underneath and were wrapped around Yoongi's body: more specifically, his belly.
Hoseok's right arm sled behind Yoongi and his hand was resting on his right side with his left arm was around his front with his hand resting right on top of Yoongi's extended abdomen. No one on the outside could see what was going on between the two under the jacket, but it wouldn't make a difference. The whole kpop industry knew that the two were dating, the pregnancy part was still a secret.
Yoongi set his hand right under Hoseok's on his belly and smiled. The baby was fluttering inside and was strong enough for Hoseok to feel as well. Hoseok almost giggled as he felt his baby move around inside of Yoongi. Yoongi smiled at his boyfriend and leaned over to place a light kiss on Hoseok's cheek. Yoongi wasn't much for public displays of affection, but today was different somehow. He loved Hoseok and he wanted a kiss. Hoseok played back and managed to get a full kiss on the lips. Yoongi couldn't resist.
"Yah yah yah, hyungs! Tone it down a bit!" Jungkook yelled at the two as he sat close by, getting his makeup done. He could see them in the mirror and he was disgusted by how much PDA they were showing today.
"Yah yah yah, Jeon Jungkook! You are worse when you're with Jimin! You two are practically making your own babies whenever and wherever you get the chance!" Yoongi shouted back. It was true though. The two were the only other couple in the group and they were extremely affectionate with each other to the point where fans have made hour long videos of them holding hands. This shut Jungkook up quick and he looked down at his lap with red cheeks from embarrassment. Hoseok started laughing uncontrollably and Yoongi sat there smiling. The difference between the two was drastic, but they evened each other out.
"BTS! On in fifteen minutes!" one of the backstage managers yelled out to the group. All the boys became alert and were excited to perform tonight, hopefully, to win first place in the awards. They were to perform Spring Day first and then Not Today to the best of their ability. And when I say that, I mean Yoongi will dance to the best of his ability since he's losing his flexibility and stamina in dancing.
Hoseok took back his jacket and put it on quickly so he could help Yoongi stand up sooner. The elder had been having trouble doing so recently and always needed another member to help him stand up, "You ready? You can always sit out if you don't think you can do it, there's no shame in it," Hoseok reminded Yoongi. He had witnessed first hand how this pregnancy was affecting Yoongi. He tired easier, he overheated if he moved too much like while dancing, and he got thirsty too fast. He was definitely pregnant all right.
"I know," Yoongi nodded, smoothing his hands over his body as he straightened out his clothes, "But I want to go as long as I can because I won't be able to perform for a while," he would need a c-section since his body is too weak and too skinny to go through labor unassisted. He had come to terms with that as well as Hoseok, "I want to perform tonight."
Hoseok smiled and while he was still worried for Yoongi, he truly admired his spunk and passion for performing and being on stage. He was born to be up there and everyone knew it. Hoseok lifted a hand to cup Yoongi's cheek, "I love you," he cooed lovingly if you could guess. Hoseok's smile was bright and blissful and full of infatuation for his much shorter boyfriend.
Yoongi smiled back and nodded, "I love you, too."
Yoongi had managed to perform that night with no problem and he was sure that his baby bump was still concealed past all the fabric of his clothing. His dancing was a bit clumsy at times with his belly in the way, but he was able to execute every step and move onto the next one. Now he and all of BTS stood on stage with a few other groups who were eagerly waiting to see the results of tonight's voting polls.
Yoongi was standing next to Hosoek and both males had their hands in front of them, folded and clenched, anxious to hear the results of tonight's performances. They weren't too clingy in public due to Yoongi's request, not wanting fan made compilations of him and Hoseok holding hands or hugging. It was too sweet and cringy for him to watch so he preferred they keep their interactions in private. And while Hoseok respected this since he was his boyfriend, no other member did and they touched whoever they liked. Like now.
Currently, Namjoon was standing behind him with his arms wrapped around Yoongi's waist, right in the middle of his belly where it stuck out the farthest. Namjoon wasn't a very affectionate man, something he and Yoongi shared, but he also liked to embarrass his hyung and try to expose his pregnancy at times. Namjoon towered over the eldest rapper and his hands were flat against Yoongi's belly. Yoongi kept a straight face, not wanting to make it out to be a big deal and let Namjoon try to mess with him.
It was a superstition among the group that if they were touching Yoongi's belly when they were attending an awards broadcast that they would have good luck and win. Namjoon was already doing so and Yoongi was expecting the other members to start doing so as well.
It didn't take long before another pair of hands was on his belly but in a more discreet way, and they were two hands of two different people.
Yoongi was standing towards the back and Namjoon was the only one who was farther back than him. The other five boys were ahead of him with Hoseok close to his side. The numbers started climbing on the scoreboard and the other boys were moving in on Yoongi. Hoseok stood to his side and was holding his hand, squeezing it reassuringly. Yoongi appreciated this, but then Jimin and Jungkook moved in on Yoongi and both boys stood side to side in front of Yoongi and both boys reached behind them discreetly and both had one hand on Yoongi's round belly. Once they made contact, Yoongi rolled his eyes and thought how annoying it was to have them do this, but he couldn't fight them on what they could and couldn't do. He had to deal with it.
As the first set of results showed up on the screen, BTS being in second place, Seokjin and Taehyung moved in and each had one hand on Yoongi's belly now. Yoongi was encircled and he checked every outlet and it seemed safe. The probability that a fan could see all the members with a hand on Yoongi's belly was low and every member was blocking sight from every angle.
The second set of numbers showed up and BTS was leading in first place and Yoongi felt Namjoon tightened his hold on Yoongi a bit and the elder had to reach back and hit the leader's arm to remind him to be gentle. Namjoon immediately loosened his arms and Yoongi no longer felt constricted by the grip. Hoseok squeezed Yoongi's hand again and this time the elder looked over to see a wide smile from his boyfriend. Yoongi smiled back, feeling happy and excited at that moment. He had faith that they would win this award.
Finally, the last screen showed up and the ending results were drastically favored towards BTS. They had so many fans that it wasn't a surprise that they would win, but BTS was still grateful none the less. As soon as the results showed up, all of the BTS members started cheering and clapping and not for themselves, but to all of the other contestants they competed with. Everyone had worked hard and everyone deserved applause.
Hoseok was so excited that he turned to Yoongi and wrapped his arms around Yoongi's waist, lifting him up and twirling him around with excitement. He was squealing, smiling so wide that his eyes disappeared behind his cheeks. Yoongi then let his own smile take over his face, all of his teeth peeking past his lips, he even let out a laugh as Hoseok started shaking his head, looking like a maniac had replaced his cool persona.
"Congratulations, BTS!" the MC yelled over the microphone, voice loud as she tried to drown out all the screams of the audience.
Everyone calmed down a bit and microphones were then passed to some of the members, Jungkook and Taehyung since they were the most popular members. Yoongi hid in the back with Hoseok, trying to hide his baby bump from the rest of the world for now. Hoseok stood a bit in front of him to try and distort any camera focused on Yoongi so they wouldn't capture a picture of his body.
Jungkook started his acceptance speech, saying the general things like how they couldn't have done it without ARMY and how he had to thank the members for working so hard alongside him. Jungkook wasn't too great at the speeches, but he was improving a lot. Namjoon was always the best at it and then he was grabbing the mic out of Jungkook's hand to give a much more professional speech drowning with charisma. Jungkook was again standing to the side, looking giddy and excited as he waved to the audience.
Every member said their own little spiel and eventually, it got to Yoongi who had to step forward. Before Seokjin had moved out from in front of him, Yoongi made sure that his shirt wasn't sticking to his belly and that it didn't look as though he was pregnant. Yoongi grabbed the mic and spoke into it, "Thank you, thank you so much. Thanks to ARMY we were able to receive this great award. Again, thank you so much. Keep supporting us with our next songs, Mom and Dad, I love you. I love you!" Yoongi shouted into the mic, keeping it short and sweet. He had made many acceptance speeches in the past and every other member had said what he wanted to say, and he was tired. He just wanted to go back home and sleep.
After everyone said what they wanted to say, it was their given time to play along with each other as their title song played in the background. Every other group left the stage and BTS was left alone with each other. Most of the boys started singing along with the soundtrack, but Yoongi stayed back with Hoseok who was still glued to his side.
Hoseok pointed out a poster in the audience that read 'We love YoonSeok' and Yoongi started laughing at how cute it was. Hoseok hugged onto Yoongi again, his face in Yoongi's neck as he rocked side to side with his older boyfriend in his arms. More screams erupted from the audience and the couple laughed, separating so they could look at each other. Out of the corner of his eye, Yoongi could see Jimin and Jungkook on top of each other and upon further inspection, he saw that the two were kissing onstage in front of the entire audience. The crowd was going wild as the two went at it and Yoongi laughed further as he watched the two for a second before turning to Hoseok again.
Hoseok smiled and reached down to place a hand on the side of Yoongi's belly that none of the fans could see and he leaned forward to place another light kiss on Yoongi's lips. It was sweet and all, but Yoongi wanted more, so he said screw it and actually started kissing more in front of everyone and only more screams echoed throughout the performance area.
