The following week involved Taehyung now buying things that would be suitable for Suki. In that case would be some pillows, blankets, clothing, shoes, school supplies and much more. That same week also involved Jungkook going back to Busan to work on himself but it wasn't goodbye for long as Jungkook would come to Seoul every second or third week based on his schedule.

Though by end of the week Jungkook was back due to Suki's first day of grade one and also because he was there to celebrate his and Suki's birthday. That night also happened to be the only night that Taehyung's family was off work. Wanting them all to be there as one so he wouldn't have to explain over and over again.

Suki grabbed his lion from the couch and looked at everyone in the room before waddling back to the room where he would go wait until everyone was done speaking. Not because Taehyung told him to do so but because the big scary adults scared him. As for Taehyung, the boy felt very nervous. His palms sweating as he took in a calming breath.

Stopping his pacing, Taehyung turned to the four sitting in front of him with a questionable look. Well- besides Jimin who had an eyebrow quirked the whole time, waiting for Taehyung to spill what he needed to spill. "So uhm." Taehyung fidgeted with his fingers and raised himself on his tippy toes just to lay them flat back onto the flooring.

"Wanna start about the kid? I never once heard about you becoming a foster parent? I mean, I expected it in the future but now?" Taehyung's mother spoke up, her leg crossing over the other as Taehyung licked his lips and clasped his hands together. "We will get to that. Alright okay- so, I've been seeing.. uh, Jungkook, again-" the word 'again' was made as a mumbled while everyone over spoke him.

"Okay— listen! Guys, listen to me. Alright? Chill. Jungkook came to me for help with the kid who's name is Saito Itsuki. Jungkook- he found Itsuki and brought him to me thinking I could help him and I did! In different ways-" Taehyung stopped talking as he heard his mother's words. "Oh god Taehyung did you sleep with him!! Is that why you had that hickey?!" She asked.

"No! No, not that kind of different way alright? I helped Jungkook with Itsuki. Itsuki was left by his mother and Jungkook found him. Took him in as his own and then went through so much in these past weeks. Over those weeks.. I grew closer to Jungkook. At first I was scared of him. At first I thought i'm going to get my dad and Jimin then let them beat him but- I didn't because I didn't know it yet but I still love him."

Taehyung watched Jimin roll his eyes while Misun sat back on the couch with his tongue poking at her cheek. "And I know he's done bad things, believe me. I was the one who went through it. I was the one who got the hits and the mean words and everything that came with it but Jungkook has been working on that and still is working on that. We're not getting together now but.. sometimes in the future and if that were to happen I want you all to know that i'm not only going back to him because I love him but because I trust him."

"What if trust is not enough Tae? You say you know what he did but does it go by in your head that he fucked you up? Literally fucked with your head and made you so fragile these past few years. You can never get those years back-" Jimin stood up to try convince Taehyung that this was a bad idea. "He broke you from within and left you like that for us and you to fix. Then what? You finally got yourself back on your feet. You met an amazing guy who won't even think ever about laying a hand on you!"

Taehyung pursed his lips as he looked at Jimin who was steaming mad but made it seem like he was not with his calm tone. Breathing out, Taehyung shrugged. "I don't know what to tell you. I love him Jimin, just like how you love Misun and Misun loves you. If you knew Jungkook now and tried to see that he has changed then you would know what I see in him. He really has changed for the better. You all should know me. I would never go back to Jungkook unless I was absolutely sure about him not harming me."

"Not saying that i'm absolutely sure now but with progress, I will be. Because truth be told.. I can't see myself with anyone else but Jeon Jungkook." Taehyung put his hands behind his back as the four stayed silent. Nothing but the breathing heard from them until Jimin was the one to break the silence. Not by talking though but by walking out of the apartment with a slam of the door.

Taehyung closed his eyes and bit harshly on his bottom lip until he felt a hold on his shoulders. Opening his eyes to see his mother in front of him. She didn't like this.. not one bit but she wasn't going to be as distant as she was before. If Taehyung truly felt this way for Jungkook, she trusts her boy. "I made a mistake once letting you go off with this boy. Tell me i'm not going to make another mistake." She gave a sincere look, her eyes crinkling with a small smile. "I promise you." Taehyung brought his mother in for a hug.

Just as he did so, Misun stood up and wiped her palms on her hands while walking towards the two. "I love and care for you Taehyung. You're my best friend or hell- like a little brother. I trust that you'll make the right decision for yourself. Just- don't break down the wall you built for yourself. Not for him and not for anyone else." Misun held out her arms and Taehyung smiled, nodding while he hugged Misun.
