A pair of lavender eyes watched intensely at the window. His ears twitching ever so often. Ever since her father left, Namjoon has been more on the edge. More on alert. He also wouldn't leave Y/n's side. And it's been a few days since the incident, yet he refuses to leave her side. His grip slightly tighten around her waist as Y/n was telling the two cubs a story.

They both watched and heard in fascination. Jimin was on the floor with his knees under him, his back hunched over to lay his chin on her thigh. His orange ears flickered occasionally, his tail wagging behind him. Jungkook was in front of Y/n, on the couch. His head laying on her lap as well while Y/n continued to tell the story. His feet up on the couch rim, occasionally twitching from the scratches he would receive from her. His large brown doe eyes watched her in awe.

"And Tramp grew recklessly by the minute for he was in love with Lady. Though he was already reckless enough, but he was never caught. Therefore he was growing more careless by the days he saw her." Y/n explained her fingers brushing among Jimin's orange locks.

"So does that mean dad is going to grow reckless because he's in love with you?" Jimin asked, his tail thumping against the floor. Namjoon perked at the sound of his name and looked at Jimin.

"Huh?"

Y/n giggled and leaned her back on his chest. She playfully poked Jimin's nose with a smile.

"Maybe Jiminie. Now let me finish the story you silly fox." She cooed earning a whine from him. Namjoon smiled, his heart growing warm at the site. He laid his chin on her shoulder, completely forgetting about the window.

"Okay, now where was I? Oh yes! So despite being mad at Tramp, Lady still cared deeply for Tramp. Even though Tramps past was something of a playboy. But Tramp was genuinely in love with Lady. But later on that night, it rained and poured. Lady was inside her dog house with a sad expression from the heated argument she had with Tramp, it was a perfect night for the rat to appear." Y/n spoke lowly, slightly trying to deepen her voice. The two cubs gasped and even Jungkook squirmed in his spot flipping over on his tummy to lay his chin on her thigh.

"Not the rat! He's gonna get the baby!" Jungkook cried out in worry. Y/n nodded as she continued.

"And that's exactly what happened. The rat snuck in through the open window, straight into the baby's room. Lady immediately knew and started barking for the aunt to notice, but the aunt merely told her to be quiet and shut the window. Lady barked and barked trying to free herself from the chain to save the baby, but it didn't work." Y/n sighed with a shake of her head. Jimin and Jungkook gasped again.

"But the baby! She needs to save the baby! Or the rat will-the baby doesn't die, right mommy?" Jimin whimpered, tears already clouding his eyes. Y/n poked his nose again with a smile.

"Oh don't cry Jiminie, the baby is fine don't worry. Tramp hears her cries and comes to the rescue! Lady immediately tells him there's a rat loose and inside the house!" Y/n explained.

"But how's he gonna get in Mommy?" Jungkook asked leaning in closer towards her tummy and press his cheek against her stomach. Y/n then started to play with his brown locks.

"Through the doggy doors. He rushes inside and heads upstairs towards the baby's room. He searched for the rat as quiet as possible but as soon as he finds the rat, it's impossible to keep quiet. He runs towards it trying to keep it from the baby! But he doesn't prevail. The rat soon lands on the baby crib, without hesitation and the roaring thunder, Tramp jumps for it catching the rat but dropping the crib in the process."

"But the baby!" Jungkook whined. Y/n giggled before continuing the story with ease. She then finished the story with a beaming smile along with the two cubs who were smiling wide. Jungkook was now sitting up right while Jimin stretched his legs. Namjoon at this point was looking outside the window again but his ears still listening to her voice.

"But mommy, does love really make you recklessly?" Jungkook asked, placing his hands on his lap. Y/n hummed before answering.

"Love shouldn't make you recklessly, you just become reckless according to your thoughts. And remember the Tramp was already reckless as it is, he just was more careless and seem to only think with his heart. See love is strange. Love should be anything but cruel. Love should be warm and sweet like honey. Love can cause you to only think within your heart instead of this-" She pointed towards his head with a smile.

"Your brain. That's why Tramp acted so carelessly, which almost led to his death." Y/n finished now laying her back onto Namjoon's chest yet again.

"Ohhh. So mommy, does that mean you love daddy?" Jungkook asked. Y/n's eyes widen, while she felt Namjoon stiffen behind her. His grip on her waist tightening again.

"I-"

"You see you said people act carelessly because they are in love and only thinking with their hearts, but a few days ago when that man was here, you acted so recklessly and scary. Daddy did too but I do know he's in love with you." Jungkook explained, his innocent eyes looking up at her.

"So what about you mommy? I've heard daddy say it, but how come you haven't?" He asked.

'Because I'm scared to say I am!'

"I-hey Kookie, baby it's time for your bedtime, why won't you and Jimin go wash up?" Y/n smiled sheepishly. Jungkook nodded and rose from the couch, sensing her nervousness. Jimin senses it too and walked up towards the bathroom, with Jungkook trialing behind him.

"Your scared aren't you?" The low rumble of Namjoon's voice startled her. Y/n immediately shook her head and scrambled out of his grasp but it appeared he wasn't letting her go. She hiss when she was jerked back onto his chest yet again. Namjoon muttered an apology before hiding his face into her hair.

"Why are you scared baby?" He whispered so softly. Y/n froze, her body tensing. But she squirmed in his grasp to escape it. She laughed nervously seeing that he wasn't playing let her go anytime soon. She full aware that these past days she wasn't allowed out of his sight. He would cling to her or hold her in some way to just to be assured she was okay.

"You didn't answer my question." He frowned. Y/n swallowed hard before looking at him. Her heart immediately sank seeing his ears down while his lips were pressed into a deep frown, his tail sulking behind him. Her chest rose with guilt and looked down.

"I-I'm not sure y-yet Joonie. Don't get me wrong, I like you more than a friend, I'm just-" Y/n started but trailed off.

"Unsure? Or scared?" His voice came out colder than it should. Y/n accidentally let out a small whimper from his remark. She knew she hurt him, but she just was scared of it. She didn't even know how it felt nor what to do. Or even what to say. I love you, is such a strong sentence. And what she feared was the fact she would say these words only for them to spit back into her face.

Namjoon slipped his arms away from her waist with a harden expression. He moved away from her, averting his lavender eyes towards the ground with the same hardened gaze. Y/n swallowed hard watching the wolf, her mind scrambling to say something.

"Y/n, if you were unsure, then why did you agreed to this?" The wolf gritted through his teeth. Pain surging from his chest. His hand gripped his shirt in agony. Her rejection was hurting his precious yet unhealed heart. There was still pieces to be picked up and place back in his heart. But right now, it appeared Y/n was just plucking them out like a flower petal.

"I-I do like you more th-then a friend Joonie-"

"Then why? Why are you scared to say it? Do know how much I still have to heal my heart? Before I fainted my heart strings were pulled, and now the pieces and strings are slowly coming together. But every time you try to deny it or brush it away, more and more are being pulled then put back together." He whispered, clutching his shirt harder as the pain grew. His chest slowly started to heave as his breathing grew heavy. Sweat started to drop from his forehead.

"Have you even told Woong that your dating me?" His voices wavered at his own thoughts. Y/n froze but immediately lunges herself on him. Her small arms wrapped around her waist, hiding her face into his chest.

"N-No! But Joonie, I've been caught up. I just got you back, started dating you, then my stupid dad came along and I've been on the edge since he left, I'm scared if I lose my guard he'll attack. I still haven't even told Hoseok, Yoongi or Jin that your awake. Heck I even forgot to mention I found your best friend, Jackson!" She cried out, tears running down her face in pure frustration. She gripped his shirt with a loud wail.

"My mind is scattered, I'm scared I really am. I couldn't believe I took a challenge against my own father! I don't want him to take you away, gosh I love you too much for that! My heart can't handle it!" She blurt out, more tears running down her cheeks. His body tensed at her comments. Now he felt extremely selfish. All he wanted was for her to say those beautiful three words. He never once thought what was running through her head. She was right, it did appear scattered. Her thoughts running wild yet she acted as if everything's fine.

He used his two fingers to lift up her chin. She looked up at him with glassy teary eyes. His own heart starting to hurt from her pain. He leaned down and pecked her forehead.

"I'm sorry. I should be more aware of your thoughts baby." He whispered now cupping her cheeks. Y/n immediately melt into his touch, fluttering her eyes into half eye lids.

"I'm sorry too. I know how much you wanted me to say those words. I'm just scared, I've never fallen in love before. Neither have you. We're both unsure what to do half the time. So we need to communicate better, tell how we feel to each other." She whispered, her hands touching the ones that were cupping her cheeks. Namjoon nodded, his lavender eyes softening. He leaned down and gave her one sweet kiss before pulling away.

"I love you."

"I love you-"

A loud knock interrupted Y/n's sentence. Both turned their heads in confusion.

Just who was at the door?
