Taehyung has never hidden the fact that he had no interest in fitness. His boyfriends never minded - having that time together and then different hobbies or interests with Taehyung. It wouldn’t be as noticeable, but Taehyung was dating what he would consider two fitness gurus. Jimin owned a dance studio with Hoseok, spending the majority of his day training and dancing with his students. Jungkook was a personal trainer who split his time between high-interval training, weight lifting, and boxing.
While they were all toned and trim, Taehyung was comfortably soft. He worked from home as an illustrator for children’s books and preferred to watch a drama over going to the gym. His boyfriends were sweet - they never judged and told him that his body can be however he likes as long as he is happy.
Taehyung knew that the main reason he was still fairly slim was his metabolism and their balanced diet. Jimin did most of the cooking and even though their fitness guys, Jungkook and Jimin both enjoyed food. If they wanted ramen instead of a salad, they were going to have it. They simply prioritized getting in their proper nutrients to keep their energy up for work while also indulging in their favorite foods.
During their fifth year together, Taehyung received an interesting opportunity to go work with a publishing team in New York City for an author that wanted to meet him and see his work in person before agreeing to bring him on the project. He didn’t love the idea of being away from his partners for nearly three weeks, but Taehyung liked the author and thought his style could fit the book series well so he went.
A few nights into his trip, the three were on a video call when Taehyung said something that piqued his boyfriends’ interest. He had told them he was disappointed in his tight schedule in NYC because he would have loved to do a food tour of popular restaurants. While that was understandable, his next comment is what sent Jimin into a new headspace.
“Man, if I actually had free time while I was here, I’d probably come home ten pounds heavier.”
Jungkook had laughed, agreeing with his boyfriend that he would be the same way. Jimin giggled and gave his attention until the conversation ended, but once they hung up, he turned to Jungkook and looked to be deep in thought.
“I just…did you see Tae’s face when he said that?”
“Said what? That he wanted to do a food tour because I would honestly be pretty disappointed to miss out on that too, but I’m sure he’s still happy to be there,” Jungkook replied, assuming that Jimin was concerned with Taehyung’s enjoyment of the trip.
Jimin shook his head, contemplating if he was overthinking or jumping to conclusions. He knew Jungkook would be honest with him so he decided to go for it. “No, I’m sure he is happy too. It was actually when he said something about gaining weight. His face…he just looked, I don’t know, like he wanted to gain those ten pounds.”
“Huh…I mean, yeah, I guess he did,” Jungkook said, thinking back to the conversation and realizing that Jimin is right. It honestly wasn’t even surprising to consider that Taehyung liked the softness - he is actually pretty open about his tummy appreciation.
“Do you think he…does he feel like we won’t like it if he gains weight?”
Jungkook wrapped his arm around Jimin’s shoulder and kissed his temple. He knew that Jimin would spiral over something like this if he thought Taehyung was even slightly unhappy. “Baby, I am certain that Taehyung knows we love him no matter what. I think he just goes with the flow.”
Jimin was quiet for a moment, thinking yet again but also comforted by Jungkook. “What if we helped?”
Jimin shrugged, looking a little embarrassed that he was even bringing it up. “Maybe give him more snacks or bigger servings. We could test it out when he gets back and see if he reacts positively. The minute he makes any mention of not enjoying it, we stop.”
Jungkook thought it over and couldn’t seem to find a downside. “Yeah, okay, could be fun. It would be cute if he doesn’t even notice.”
Jimin laughed and shook his head, “I’m sure he will be onto us right away.”
Upon Taehyung’s return home, he was smothered with love by his boyfriends who so desperately missed him. Jungkook encouraged him to shower while he unpacked his bags for him. Jimin was making all of Taehyung’s favorite dishes for dinner to celebrate his return.
Taehyung thought nothing of it considering his boyfriends were absolute sweethearts. Jimin had a reputation for spoiling them both so it was pretty expected to see the table full of kalbi, japchae, sweet potatoes, and little banchan dishes. “Wow, Minnie, this looks delicious. Thank you!”
Jimin accepted the kiss with a laugh, determined to keep that cute smile on his boyfriend’s face forever. He took Taehyung’s plate and put just a bit more of each serving than he typically would, piling it up with food. If his boyfriend said anything about the amount of food he was given, Jimin was simply going to reason that he just had a long flight and deserved it - however, Taehyung accepted the plate with a smile and tucked right in.
Jungkook ate well too, having trained two extra clients that day so he had been starving when he got home from work. His large appetite seemed to be a welcome push for Taehyung who actually refilled his serving of japchae and sweet potatoes to Jimin’s surprise. They talked about his trip which seemed to be enough conversation to stop him from realizing how much he had eaten. Jimin had been finished for quite some time while he watched the other two enjoy the dinner he made.
Once Taehyung seemed to be slowing down, Jimin went to the fridge and grabbed a strawberry cake. It was one of Taehyung’s favorite things that Jimin made so it went with the meal properly. “I made a cake for you too. It’s the strawberry one you like.”
“Oh my gosh, Minnie, I love you. I honestly don’t think I could eat another bite right now, but I promise it won’t go to waste,” Taehyung replied, still not suspecting a thing since it seemed like a normal Jimin act of service for his boyfriends.
“That’s fine, baby. It’ll be in the fridge whenever you want it.”
Jungkook hopped up to help Jimin clear the table, offering to do the dishes. Taehyung sat back momentarily, letting out a deep breath as his fullness finally hit. He looked up to make sure his boyfriends weren’t looking and rubbed over the top which was rounded out with the evidence of his dinner packed inside.
With more effort needed than he expected, Taehyung hoisted himself out of his chair to bring his dishes to the sink. He kissed Jimin’s cheek as another show of gratitude for the amazing meal his boyfriend prepared before he was instructed to go find a movie or a drama to watch while Jimin changed clothes and Jungkook cleaned up.
Jimin returned from their bedroom and he was caught off guard by the sight in front of him. Taehyung was leaning back against the couch, one hand on his lower stomach resting while his other hand rubbed gently at the crest of his belly bloated with dinner. He had an older white t-shirt on that usually was form-fitting, but it was now clinging to his taut skin. Not wanting to interrupt, Jimin went to the kitchen first to grab some drinks and share his discovery with Jungkook who tried to sneak a glimpse from the kitchen.
When Jimin came back to the living room, Taehyung was no longer in that position and was covered up with a blanket as he scrolled through their shows. Jimin put some water, soju, and cherry coke on the table - free for anyone to take. They looked through the show options together for about fifteen minutes before Taehyung shifted next to him, looking back towards the kitchen.
“Would you mind bringing some of the cake when you’re done?”
“Of course. Minnie, you want some, baby?”
“Okay, three slices of cake, coming up!”
Taehyung laughed at Jungkook’s silly voice he put on at the end as if he was taking their order, not noticing how the request was affecting Jimin who had genuinely not expected Taehyung to even touch the cake that night. He was definitely not complaining, but he had barely digested his own food and he had eaten a third of what Taehyung had.
Jungkook was quite generous with his servings of cake, knowing very well that he was pushing the limits. Taehyung happily accepted the cake and started digging in as they watched the movie he selected. Jimin was eating slowly which was not out of the norm, but this time it was from the distraction of watching Taehyung eat.
Jimin waited until Taehyung only had a few bites left before offering his over, nearly half of the slice left. “Tae, you want the rest of mine? I’m so full and I was snacking on the berries the entire time I was cooking so I think I’m over the taste of them,” he said with a laugh, actually telling the truth.
“Oh, sure! That’s what you get for your cooking snacks, Min,” Taehyung teased as he took the last bite of his own slice to accept Jimin’s plate.
“Snacks are the best part of cooking,” Jimin replied, giggling so much that he leaned into Taehyung’s side. Both of his boyfriends watched him with endeared expressions. He kept his spot on Taehyung’s shoulder even while he worked his way through the next piece of cake, having to restrain himself from rubbing Taehyung’s belly which was getting tighter with each bite.
Jungkook offered the cherry coke to Taehyung when he leaned forward to grab the water. After his last bite of Jimin’s cake, Taehyung took a long drink of coke which topped off his belly to his absolute limit. Taehyung had not eaten that much before, but he would admit that it felt great.
Jimin switched their position so Taehyung’s head was tucked against his shoulder, gently running his fingers through his boyfriend’s hair. “You okay, love?”
“Yeah, just feeling full. I guess I really missed having homecooked meals while I was gone,” Taehyung admitted, trying to understand the feeling for himself while also being lulled into a food coma with Jimin’s tender scalp massage.
“I’m glad you enjoyed it. I missed cooking for you,” Jimin replied, trying to sound innocent in his intentions. He continued his little motions until Taehyugn fell asleep. Jimin immediately looked at Jungkook who had also found the night interesting, both sharing a knowing look that this plan was going very well so far.
Two months went by quickly and although they had not had another night like Taehyung’s welcome home, Jimin and Jungkook had certainly worked out a system. Jungkook had made a cute little snack basket for Taehyung’s office when his boyfriend mentioned getting distracted by his work to the point of missing lunch sometimes. Jimin had been beefing up Taehyung’s portions at various meals without it being obvious - an extra egg or two in his omelets, doubling his meat or veggies - and maintaining a healthy balance.
Taehyung’s middle had undoubtedly shown the most results, his soft tummy burgeoning into a pudgy belly. While the weight did distribute a little bit, it seemed that his stomach was the main landing place of his new weight. Jimin and Jungkook both agreed that the one downside of their plan was the lacking of feeling him up, both wanting to get their hands on him but not wanting to give away their current plan.
Jimin entered the bedroom one morning, intrigued by huffing coming from their closet. “Tae, everything okay, baby?” he asked, walking in to find his boyfriend fighting to get one of Jungkook’s hoodies to fit correctly. He had to utilize every ounce of his willpower to not comment on how amazing Taehyung looked.
“Just wanted to wear one of Gguk’s hoodies and I realized that I may be getting a little…chunky,” Taehyung said as he gripped a handful of his stomach, not sounding sad but more disappointed about the sweatshirt in particular.
Completely on the fly, Jimin remedied the situation. He was thankful that Taehyung picked a hoodie that was inconspicuous enough to get by convincing him it was his. “Well, first of all, it probably helps if you actually picked one of his. That’s mine, Tae,” he said, absolutely lying through his teeth.
“Oh, really? It didn’t have a tag, but I assumed all the gym hoodies were his.”
“That’s a dance studio, babe, not a gym,” Jimin said with a laugh as that part of his story was true. He and Jungkook both had hoodies from a friend’s dance studio called The Lab, however, Jimin knew that his was hanging on a hook in his office at the dance studio right now meaning that Taehyung was most definitely wearing Jungkook’s and it was definitely a little snug.
Taehyung blushed slightly, embarrassed about being called out on his mistake. Sometimes he felt bad for not fully knowing about the dance world even though he supported Jimin with his whole heart. He stood and watched Jimin grab another hoodie from Jungkook’s section of the closet, handing it over to him with a smile and a kiss on the cheek.
“Try this one, love,” Jimin instructed, watching as Taehyung took off the first hoodie with a bit of struggle. He purposefully picked one of Jungkook’s that he knew was well oversized, his boyfriend’s preference for his clothes. The hoodie went on perfectly fine, even hiding a bit of Taehyung’s new size under the baggy garment. “See, perfectly fine. You are not getting chunky or whatever you said. Everyone gains a little relationship weight after a while, it means that we are happy, right?”
Taehyung nodded, accepting Jimin’s kiss and watching his petite boyfriend leave their bedroom after the little pep talk. Honestly, Taehyung could care less if he was gaining weight. He loved feeling full of Jimin’s homecooked meals, the warm weight around his middle actually made him feel pretty incredible.
But, he also wasn’t blind - he had most certainly put on weight. The scale had been creeping up a little more than usual over the past few weeks. He had always hovered around 150, fluctuating at times, but he always stayed in that area. Since his return from America, the number has only gone up; his latest weigh-in that morning read 164 - the highest it’s ever been.
Fourteen pounds wasn’t crazy in the grand scheme of things, but Taehyung could not seem to equate it back to anything he had actively done. That thought alone is what made him consider his boyfriends having a hand in it. Maybe Jungkook’s kind gesture of his office snack pile and Jimin’s generous portions were intentional. He instinctively went to leave the bedroom, planning to approach them about it when he decided that he could play their game too.
Taehyung leaned into their little efforts for the next month, noticing them more blatantly when he was actively aware of it. Jimin had definitely been serving him bigger portions or adding a bit more to his food almost unconsciously while Jungkook’s healthy snack options were often accompanied by more sugary or calorie-dense options. He was usually given his beloved cherry coke rather than them asking what he would like and the right side of the middle fridge shelf had become home to whatever dessert Jimin had made.
Jimin and Jungkook had a few conversations about it on their way to and from work on the days they could go together. They both noticed Taehyung’s more active participation as the evidence was rounding out healthy in his midsection. Jimin had told Jungkook about the hoodie situation, both laughing about it afterward at Taehyung’s easy acceptance of Jimin’s excuse. They certainly weren’t going to complain when their boyfriend was so happy.
Another two weeks went by when Taehyung had secured the biggest book deal of his career by far. A prolific children’s author was looking for a fresh hand to illustrate their upcoming ten-book series. The story and direction were totally Taehyung’s style and the paycheck was going to be huge in comparison to his normal rate. It was absolutely a cause for celebration.
Jimin and Jungkook insisted that Taehyung could ask for anything in wanted and they would make it happen - so proud of their partner for his accomplishment. Taehyung asked for a day trip to his favorite gallery in Seoul which they had expected. When Jimin asked what restaurant he should make dinner reservations at, Taehyung shocked them with his request. He hoped that Jimin would be willing to make that same dinner from his first night back after the NYC trip.
Taehyung told them it was all of his favorite foods that Jimin made just the way he liked it and they could spend a relaxing night together. Both were fully on board, preparing for Saturday all week long. Jimin made a list of all the food he needed, leaving the studio early on Friday afternoon to meet Jungkook at the grocery store.
On Saturday, their visit to the gallery was fun and they headed back home so Jimin could start cooking. Jungkook and Taehyung sat at the kitchen counter, keeping him company while he cooked and sneaking strawberries from his precious cooking snack bowl. He shooed them to set the table as he finished up and started bringing food to the table.
Jimin happily filled Taehyung’s plate high with even bigger servings than that first night. Jungkook wasn’t nearly as hungry as that first night which also meant more food for Taehyung. All three ate while making comfortable conversation, Jimin topping off Taehyung’s japchae twice while he was distracted by whatever Jungkook was saying.
As that telltale roundness at the top of Taehyung’s belly started to make an appearance, Jimin assumed that dinner was coming to a close. Much to his surprise, Taehyung asked him to pass the sweet potatoes and happily dished himself what was left in the serving dish. Jimin and Jungkook jumped into a conversation about doing a collaborative barre fitness class, something to focus on so they didn’t sit and stare at Taehyung who continued to eat.
A deep breath from their partner is what their attention back to Taehyung. He had made quick work of the sweet potatoes and looked determined to finish his japchae which had seemed bottomless thanks to Jimin’s refills. His shirt was clinging to his bloated belly, an old button-down that had already been close to being outgrown prior to dinner. He brought the plate to his mouth, scraping in the last few noodles stuck to the plate and ignoring the interested eyes directed at him.
Just as they were getting ready to clear the table, Taehyung grabbed his full glass of coke and chugged it, enjoying the tight bubble created by the carbonation on top of all his food. He had to admit that it felt amazing - so much better than the first time because he was purposefully indulging rather than not realizing what had happened.
Leaning back slightly only pushed his belly forward more and even he was a little surprised at the sight. The shirt was really giving his stomach an accentuated roundness with its fight against the buttons. Still choosing not to acknowledge it, Taehyung had to use both hands to push himself out of his chair. He took his dishes to the sink and smirked when he heard frantic whispers behind in from the dining room.
After another few seconds of whatever hushed conversation was being had, Jimin called out, “Tae, do you want to come change into something comfier before we start the movie?”
Jimin asking him that innocent question seemed to be the moment he decided to break their not-so-secret facade. He walked back to the dining room with his hand resting on top of his bloated middle. “Oh, are we skipping dessert?”
Both his partners halted their movements trying very hard to keep their composure. Jungkook recovered first, looking back at Taehyung with a soft expression. “I, uh…we just thought you might have wanted a little break. Maybe take a little time to digest.”
“Well, I was kind of hoping to see if we could pop the buttons on my shirt,” Taehyung responded with a casual shrug as if that was a normal thing for them.
Jimin dropped the plate in his hand, scrambling to pick up the mess he created from the shock he had experienced. “You…what?”
“Minnie, come on now, you think I haven’t noticed that my beloved gym bunnies are trying to fatten me up,” Taehyung replied, rubbing his hand across his stomach to ease the bubbly digestion going on. “I’m just trying to figure out who is enjoying it the most out of the three of us.”
Jungkook looked at him with a pleased smile knowing that his boyfriend was happy with the development while Jimin’s face was set with determination.
“Ggukie, can you please go get the cake?” Jimin asked sweetly, a kiss placed on Jungkook’s cheek as he passed him to take Taehyung’s hand. He guided his hefty boyfriend into one of the kitchen chairs, leaning down to kiss him. “You’re happy? With this and us?”
Taehyung’s expression softened, feeling so much love at the simple question. “Of course, baby, I wouldn’t be doing this if I was unhappy. Honestly, I don’t know if I’ve ever felt this good.”
Jimin smiled giving him another kiss that was immediately followed by one from Jungkook who had heard the interaction. They exchanged quiet ‘I love you’s with each other and paused to appreciate the moment.
After an analytical gaze over Taehyung’s body, Jimin moved closer and whispered in his ear. “You know what I think would have at least one of these buttons popping, my love?”
“Hmm?” Taehyung asked, feeling a little dazed at Jimin’s sultry tone. He never imagined a scene like this playing out in their relationship and he could not ignore how turned on he was by it all.
“You finishing the whole cake.”
“Oh shit,” Jungkook mumbled, feeling just as hot under the collar as his partners. He was happy to let Jimin take control knowing that he was the best in a dominant role.
Jimin smirked, grabbing Jungkook’s hand and bringing it to join his on Taehyung’s stomach. “See, Jungkookie thinks it’s a good idea too. Want to give it a try? For us, baby?”
Taehyung whimpered in response, never able to hold his resolve for long when Jimin was in charge. He looked up at him with what they affectionately called his ‘puppy eyes’ and nodded his head gently. “I’ll try my best.”
“I know you will, my love,” Jimin whispered closely, followed by another kiss on Taehyung’s lips because he couldn’t resist. “Would you like to feed yourself or should we do it?”
“Jungkookie. Want Gguk to do it,” Taehyung answered, as he straighten his posture in the chair getting ready for the next round of food.
Jimin handed an eager Jungkook a spoon as the younger pulled a chair up beside Taehyung. He filled the first spoonful with a huge bite and got started right away. The first third of the cake disappeared so quickly that Taehyung hadn’t even realized how much he had eaten. He knew Jungkook was the right choice because he was a quick eater himself on top of being motivated whereas he was certain Jimin would have teased him and prolonged it as much as possible.
Speaking of Jimin, Taehyung assumed he was able to eat more and more because of the little hands massaging his midsection, breaking up the air bubbles, and helping him digest as his stomach was put to the test. The waistband on his jeans felt like it was going to break skin soon with how tight they were getting. Taehyung was both annoyed and proud for choosing to wear some of his older clothes for their gallery date.
Over half the cake was gone before Taehyung asked for a break. He let out a groan and relaxed into the chair under him while panting through a few cramps. His body was reaching its limit, stretching his stomach capacity to the widest it has ever been. The two buttons holding his shirt closed over the crest of his belly were ready to give up and Taehyung was determined.
“Okay, I’m good,” Taehyung said, nodding for Jungkook to continue. His partners were honestly impressed at that point, both thinking that the whole cake was just a teasing statement and not a reality. Jimin was about to ask if he wanted to tap out, but Taehyung had his sights set on those buttons.
Jungkook continued his consistent motions of feeding Taehyung, only allowing him enough time to breathe in between bites. They both watched as Jimin walked into the kitchen, continuing with the cake until he returned with another bottle of coke in one hand and a carton of milk in the other. “I figured you may need something to drink soon. Which one would you like, baby?”
Taehyung cringed at the thought of adding more bubbles to his stomach on top of all the sugar and the milk seemed genuinely refreshing at that point. He pointed to the milk and was thankful for Jimin bringing the carton to his lips, allowing him to take a large swig to wash down the cake. He considered giving up after feeling the milk sit heavy in his stomach, but there was only a little bit of the cake left and his buttons were creaking.
Jungkook seemed to understand Taehyung’s final push, leaving the spoon in front of him for however long he needed it. Jimn noticed the heavier breathing as Taehyung forced through the last bit of cake, keeping his eyes locked on the button hanging by a thread at the roundest part of his boyfriend’s stomach.
“Last bite, babe,” Jungkook said, his own cheeks flushed from watching Taehyung finish off the entire cake. He was equally impressed and turned on by the entire evening.
Taehyung swallowed slowly, somehow still wanting to savor the last bit of cake. It was his favorite after all, but he figured Jimin would be more willing to make it now. He was desperate to pop his button so even though he knew it was going to be a regret later, Taehyung asked Jimin for more milk claiming he needed to wash down the sugar.
Jimin held the carton up to his lips, his other hand resting on Taehyung’s meaty thigh as his boyfriend chugged the milk. Jungkook and Jimin both watched in anticipation until the moment they had been waiting for finally happened. Taehyung let the milk drain down his throat and then took a deep breath, enough for his belly to ever so slightly suck in before he fully pushed it out on the exhale.
A quick rip of the thread was followed by a button landing somewhere on the hardwood floor below the dining table. Taehyung’s shirt was not gaping right in the middle, his tan skin now peaking through from underneath. He moaned at the release of pressure and felt his belly continuing to fight its way out.
Jungkook leaned in, kissing his jaw and neck without being able to form any words about what he saw. Taehyung let his partners have their way with him, too stuffed to even move. He felt Jimin’s fingers sneak along his shirt, slowly undoing the remaining buttons and gently massaging his lower stomach to encourage the food to digest. Taehyung finally felt ultimate relief when Jimin managed to get his pants unbuttoned, belly rounding out now that it wasn’t contained in his tight clothes.
“Wow, baby, look at you. This is an impressive belly you’ve grown, looking so round right now,” Jimin said, a raspy tone overtaking his voice - a clear sign of his arousal.
“Feels good,” Taehyung mumbled, still panting in relief. “Love you both so much.”
Jungkook and Jimin both returned the sentiment as they both continued their exploration of Taehyung’s body. Jimin continued his vocal appreciation as well. "I wonder how heavy you've gotten with the way that gut sticks out now."
Taehyung moaned in response to Jimin's teasing words. He knew that he was certainly the heaviest he had ever been at that current moment, but he had weighed himself that morning in anticipation of their evening. "180."
"What?" Jimin asked, his hands stilling on Taehyung's stomach. Jungkook paused his movement as well, assuming he must've misheard their partner.
"180. Weighed myself this morning," Taehyung responded, looking between them as he waited for their reactions.
Jimin looked down at his belly and then back up at him, basically in awe of the information - not expecting that number quite yet. "You gained..."
"Thirty pounds," Taehyung finished his sentence before adding, "Well, thirty as of this morning. There's an awful lot in here right now so probably sitting closer to 185 now."
Without warning, Jungkook stood and offered his hands to Taehyung who looked at him with a bit of hesitation. “Think you can make it to bed, big guy?”
Taehyung’s face flushed a deep red at the nickname and nodded while placing his hands in Jungkook’s, allowing himself to get heaved out of the chair. Standing, his belly sat in the v of his open jeans sitting so plumply round that he looked pregnant. He tried to ignore Jimin’s pleased gasp at the sight as he turned to walk down the hallway, knowing his boyfriends were going to watch his every step. Walking wasn’t quite the right word as it was more like a waddle.
Once Taehyung crossed the threshold of their bedroom, Jungkook and Jimin turned to each other with a smile. Jimin kissed Jungkook, letting it linger until he pulled back slightly and whispered, “First one to undress gets to ride him first.”
Jimin immediately took off down the hallway, stripping his shirt as he went. Jungkook called out after him, running down the hall behind Jimin while unbuckling his belt. They sprinted into the bedroom through a flurry of clothing and were met with Taehyung collapsing back onto the bed, his belly in full view. He had never felt sexier than right now - stuffed to the brim with both his partners dying to get their hands on him.
“No fighting, boys. You’ll both get a turn.”
One thing was certain, this was definitely going to be happening again. Taehyung knew that scale would say 200 in no time.
