Taehyung spent what felt like an eternity in his car after he had arrived at Jungkook 's house. He couldn't step out. Jungkook had called him many times but he wouldn't pick up.
He finally got out of the car and sighed when he had reached the door. He sighed for the nth time before ringing the doorbell. His heart quickened when he felt footsteps coming towards the door.
Jungkook opened the door looking somewhat tired and irritated.
"Hie"
"What took you so long. Do you have any idea how the situation is right now? "Jungkook asked as he lead the way into the house.
"I'm sorry. It's really hard for me "Taehyung whispered.
"I know Taehyung. It's hard for me too.You will have to understand "
This was about to be the most awkward moment of Taehyung 's life. The twins were seated on the couch with Jin. Tension trickled in the house like an electronic current.
Jungkook ushered Taehyung to sit opposite the twins.
"Guys. ..this is Taehyung. He is your dad"Jungkook said.
"Mr...You called papa right ?"Minho started with a huge smile. At least that was some positive response.
"It's me"
"You look like Minie and I. I guess you are really our dad.Can I hug you? "Minho asked as he went over to Taehyung who had knelt. Minjun reacted by walking away.
"Junie. .."Jungkook called.
"Jungkook...let him be.He will need time. "Jin said.
"I understand "
Instantly Taehyung and Minho clicked and the younger was already telling him some of Jin's dad jokes. He didn't ask about anything else. He was just happy about having a person to call his father .
Jin made dinner but Minjun still wouldn't leave their room. No one really ate that night.
"I think you should go and talk to him "Jungkook suggested right after dinner.
"Should I? "Taehyung asked wryly.
"You have to"
"I will go with you "Minho offered and held Taehyung 's hand up the stairs. He left him in front of their room.
Taehyung gently knocked on the door and it was instantly opened.
"Can I come in?"Taehyung whispered and the younger nodded .
Minjun went to sit on his bed and faced the wall. Taehyung went and sat on Minho's.
"I really don't know where to start. I don't think apologizing will ever be good enough but I'm going to do it.I'm really sorry "Taehyung hang his face in his hands.
"If Minie has forgiven you then I will try to do so.Papa said I wouldn't understand anything but I still wanna know why?"
"I'm really sorry "
"I wanna go to bed now "
That night Minjun slept while clinging onto Jin tightly. He would always run to him if anything goes wrong. Jungkook slept with Minho in his room. Taehyung was sleeping on the couch in the living room.
"Papa, Junie is sad "Minhowhispered.
"How would you know? "Jungkook asked.
"I can feel it.Should we go to him? "
"Just let him be"Jungkook sighed .
Meanwhile Jin was having a hard time trying to calm down Minjun who was crying silently.
"Junie, you know if you get sad then so will your brother. Do you really him to be sad because of you? "he asked.
Minjun sniffed and shook his head before cuddling onto the older male ever so tightly.
That night No one slept and it was obviously for the same reason. Taehyung had woken up first before anyone else could. He took whatever he could find in the kitchen to make breakfast.
Jungkook walked down to get water.
"Are you okay? "Jungkook started.
"I don't know. I think I should stay for a while "
"You have to go to work. I will take care of Minjun "
"It dosent seem right "
Right then the twins walked down together. Minho rushed to hug Taehyung
"Morning dad.Can I ask you something? "
"Sure "Taehyung smiled as he stroked his son 's hair.
"What is a zebra,?"
"I don't know? 'Taehyung laughed .
"It's a donkey with white and black stripes "he giggled .
Everyone laughed besides Minjun who wasn't having any of it.
"Minie won't you say hie to dad?"
"Are you already calling him that. ?Minie you are so stupid "
"Minjun. That's rude. Don't call your brother names. Minie go and get ready for school "
"What about Junie?"
"He isn't going ".
"Then I won't go either "
"Exactly what I expected. So both of you won't go to school for two weeks?Minjun please follow me to my room "
"Dad I think Papa is cross with us.What shall we do?'
"Is he scary "
"Very "
Jungkook and Minjun had reached the older 's room.
"Sit down "Jungkook demanded sternly.
"If you want someone to blame or resent then it should be me.I'm the one who left your father. He isn't at fault here "
"Why did you leave "
"You know. We were having issues and I overreacted and left. I told him not to look for me. I once was so temperamental .Just like you "
"Do you still have those issues? '
"Not anymore. We have grown up and we don't fight anymore. I really love your dad and I wish we could be together once again so we could fix things. Everyone makes mistakes don't they? '
"I'm really sorry Papa. Should I go to the naughty corner? "
"Oh come on.Stop being silly. Just do me a favour will you? '
"What is it?"
"Please go and talk to him "
"Dad?"
"He would be really happy if you call him that "
"I will. No-one will ever tease us again. "
With that Minjun ran out of the room and went downstairs. Taehyung was taken by suprise when the younger hugged him .
"Dad? Dad!I'm sorry "
Taehyung knelt down with tears in his eyes. He wordlessy pulled the younger into a tight hug. Jungkook came down to the scene. Minho went and hugged them as they watched Taehyung and Minjun. Finally their family was complete and so were their hearts
After crying like babies they started laughing like crazy people. However Jungkook was still worried about the suspension. He wished there was a way to get it overturned but it seemed impossible.
The other kid had hit his head on a rock. There was a big chance that the parents were going to sue them.
"So ...everything is fine now? "Taehyung asked while the twins were playing in their room.
"Not quite yet "
"I know what you are worried about. I will see if there is something which can be done.Our kids can't miss school for that long "
."Can you do that? "
"Only if you tell me who that guy is. The one you live with "
"Jin Hyung? He is like a brother and friend to me and the twins. He is really a special friend "
"I could see that "
"There is something else you will have to do"
"Anything for you "
"You will have to move in with us.The kids would want to spend as much time with you as possible . "
"What about you. Wouldn't you want to be with me? "
"Of course I want to but they need you the most "
"Can't you come back home? "Taehyung asked.
"You know why I can't do that. Goodness knows what your mother would do to them. I wouldn't stand my children being humiliated. It would kill me. I know this place isn't as big as your house but I'm sure you will manage "
"Of course. What about him?"
"Jin Hyung. What about him? "
"Will he still be staying with us?"
"Is there a problem? "Jungkook asked.
"Does it seem appropriate to you? "
"What if the twins don't want him to go.They have known each other for two years and they are very close "
"Jungkook. ..baby come on.We really need to spend some quality and special time together and I would feel uncomfortable with someone being there "
"Tae, don't even think about it.The walls of this house aren't soundproofed.Anyone can hear anything and it will be more troublesome if the twins hear any weird sounds. They would want answers. "
"You are really good at giving excuses Jungkook. So are you going to tell him "
"Taehyung, Jin Hyung is a very sensible guy. I'm sure he would reason .You don't have to worry about that "
"Did you think about working with me? "
"Tell you what? If you fix Junie 's problem. Once he gets unsuspended then I will come to work with you without any hesitation. Its a give and take situation "
"Deal "Taehyung said before leaning onto Jungkook. Before he could kiss him ,he heard fake coughing.
"You were right. This won't be easy "Taehyung whispered into Jungkook 's ear and made him laugh.
"What are you guys laughing about? "Minjun asked.
"Your dad just cracked a joke "
"No , I didn't "Taehyung said through gritted teeth while starring at Jungkook.
"I wanna hear it"said Minho.
"Jungkook! !?"Taehyung screamed inside his head.
