Chapter Seven
~Y/N POV~
Thankfully I didn't have to go with Jungkook to his meeting this morning which meant I had a free morning without him. Not having to talk to him, see him or anything like that but I know it's short lived. I have his schedule for the day I know he has nothing for the afternoon, only this meeting.
But I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
Answering calls, forwarding emails to Jungkook to review himself later but also making a small note in a sticky note and stuck it to his computer screen to check his emails later so I wont have to. I've found sometimes he forgets and I get in the neck from others if he doesn't see it. Somehow I get the blame so I'm making sure this time he checks his emails.
Leaving his office I shut the door after me, but only to turn and face plant into a hard surface.
Stepping back I look up to see it was Jungkook.
I cursed to myself, just to look down to the floor avoiding his amused gaze and raised brow.
"What were you doing in my office Y/n?" Jungkook
"Putting a note on your screen to check your emails later."
He hummed but watched my every move as I smoothly stepped around him and back to my desk to sit down in my chair. Jungkook just stood there, staring at me, hands behind his back in silence. In the end I managed to avoid his gaze when the phone on my desk rang. I only allowed it to ring once before answering it but turning away to show him my back.
It was only Jin asking me if Jungkook remembers to made a call the handy man for the building for later and I assured him I will. It was only at least twenty second call before we hung up.
But Jungkook was still staring at me from his office door. Not even moved a muscle.
"Jin said to remind you to call Park Jaehyun to fix the elevator. He's not answering Jin's call."
I told him without even so much as a glance his way but in the corner of my eye I could still see him, taking that one step closer to my desk.
"Y/n?" Jungkook
I spun in my chair to face him.
"What?"
"I have important business to take care off outside this building. I need you to come with me. As my assistant." Jungkook
Sitting on the edge of my desk I just wanted to slap that stupid smirk off his face but I took a deep breath, nodding and picked up my jacket from behind my chair. He's my boss after all and it's work so I have no choice.
"Fine. Lead the way."
He chuckled before jumping off my desk and walking out the waiting area surrounding his office space and down the small corridor which I ended up having to follow him. On the way in passing I saw Byeol who was slightly confused and gave me questionable eyes, as if silently asking what we're doing. I shrugged at her walking passed the front desk and towards the stair case since the elevator isn't working.
I stayed quiet, following him from behind down the stairs but every so often for him to look over his shoulder towards me and then continue on until we get to the underground car park for employees.
"Y/n shall we take your car or mine?" Jungkook
I heard him question as he held the door open for me to enter the car park. I didn't want him to know I don't have one so I quickly made up an excuse.
"I didn't bring my keys."
I know its a big fat lie but I don't want him knowing I can't afford one but thankfully he didn't question it. Nodding with a soft hum he took out his own keys from the pocket of his suit around the torso and jiggled them in front of me.
"My car it is then." Jungkook
I nodded at him but followed him towards this fancy ass car. Shining black, tinted windows, it some how looked familiar but I couldn't place it. Clearly he still has his money but obviously he would due to what he does for a living.
What surprised me was that he opened the passenger side door for me but I thanked him and just slipped inside, putting on my seat belt. He too got inside on the driver side, turning on the car and driving off after his seat belt was adjusted.
The car journey was ten minutes long. Ten LONG minutes in pure silence. Not even the radio or any music was on but when I peaked into the back, I saw that black and pink coloured car seat strapped in. Of course it would be.
Seeing that made me feel all sorts of things. A little anger, sadness and admittedly jealousy. Only because he has the privilege to drive around his daughter when I cant even afford to get a car so I have to take my son the bus. He's never even been inside a car before and that fact stings.
When we stopped at the mall, parking across the street, it made me question what the hell we're doing. I should of in the car on the way here, but my mind was elsewhere.
"Okay here we go." Jungkook
He got out the car before I could say anything but I was quick to get out, gazing towards the mall, confused as hell right now.
"What are we doing here?"
"I need some shopping and I figured you could help me." Jungkook
"That's not in my job description to go shopping with you."
I scowled at him over the top of the car but he just laughed at me.
"No but you're my assistant and I need assistance. Come on, let's go." Jungkook
Waving his hand he gestured for me to follow him but I threw a glare to the back of his head, watching him run across the street. This is not what I'm suppose to be doing, shopping? With him?
No.
I don't want to. But I have no choice.
Until I get a new job elsewhere.
Rolling my eyes I caved and ran across the street after him which made him laugh again to see I did actually follow him.
Grabbing my arm he started to pull me along side him inside. I had no idea where we're going or what he needs but when we got to a particular part of the mall I started to have a idea and I hated him even more for trying this with me.
A kids clothes shop.
And not just any kids clothes shop but...
The last shop we went to together for baby stuff when I was pregnant.
Walking into the shop brought back memories and in that moment I had enough.
Snatching my arm from him I stomped my foot down from moving further. Jungkook whipped his head towards me quickly, forming a frown that I stopped us from moving any further towards the kids clothes in the back.
"What are you doing?" Jungkook
"Seriously? You take me here of all places?"
All he does his move his eyes around the shop, looking around innocently before shrugging his shoulders.
"Yeah? What's the big deal?" Jungkook
I scoffed, pushing him to the side and stomped away from him towards the kids clothes in the back. Clearly he doesn't remember or genuinely doesn't think it's a big deal.
I ignored him calling my name but I know he followed me since when I stopped he accidently stumbled into my back but I just stepped aside away from him and pointed towards the girls clothes.
"Go on then. This is clearly what we're here for."
First he squinted his eyes at me, stepping around me but keeping a distance as if he was afraid I'd throw a hand his way but I didn't care. How I'm feeling right now I could. This was cruel, to take me in his fancy ass car to the mall and shop of his daughters clothes was like a slap in the face. And not in any shop, this was the shop we came to get baby things for our son.
Crossing my arms over my chest I stayed where I stood, feet firmly in place as I watched Jungkook scan through the girls clothes but he just skimmed through them like he wasn't interested.
"Aren't you going to get her something?"
"I'm usually not good picking girls clothes. My mom does it for me." Jungkook
I scoffed at him.
"Wouldn't Flora do that?"
His whole body stiffened when I mentioned her name, arm tensed as well as his shoulders and retracted his hand from a purple cardigan hanging up.
"She's not in the picture." Jungkook
He cleared his throat and turned his back to me, walking away towards the Halloween section on display. It was more laid out for boys and girls along with candy bags, decorations and such.
A part of me wanted to press about that but another didn't want to know. I was torn for a couple seconds until I decided to let it go. It's none of my business.
Jungkook's face was more blank, his smile he once had on his face long gone as well as the sparkle in his eyes. I decided to follow him to the Halloween section. Maybe I could get some ideas for Jeonsan here?
"What does your daughter like?"
I found myself suddenly asking him to break this awkwardness that developed between us. Jungkook glanced back towards me over his shoulder. I noticed a small smile forming but he hide it from me by turning away from me.
"She likes magical things. Like witches and fairies or even an angel." Jungkook
I hummed at him, stepping closer to stand beside him and check out the girl costumes. I have a boy so shopping for girly things isn't really my expertise as I'm not that girly myself.
"What about this one?"
I pointed towards a tinkerbell costume. The light green colour dress was puffy around the skirt but it came with a wand. It looked adorable.
"That will do I suppose." Jungkook
He checked through the different hangers until he found her size and took a dress. Checking it out himself before he hummed and sent me a nod of approval.
"Okay let's go then."
Ready to get out this place I turned away from him, already walking away until he grabbed my hand just to pull me back.
"There's one more thing we have to do first." Jungkook
"What's that?"
"There's one more child that needs a costume right?" Jungkook
For some reason it took me a moment to process what he meant. Staring at him confused and trying to figure out what he meant, that was until he cocked his head to the side, raising a brow towards me as he grew a grin on his face.
Jerking my hand from him I shook my head, instantly refusing.
"No way, he already has a costume so thanks but no thanks."
Jungkook scoffed at me.
"Come on Y/n, I know when you're lying. Just let me buy him one." Jungkook
"No. He doesn't even need anything from you."
Jungkook closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before whipping his eyes back open, staring me down.
"Please. You don't even have to tell him its from me. It's not like he'll know any different either." Jungkook
His pleading eyes bore into mine, trying to convince me that he has a point and he does. I know he does, its not like Jeonsan would know unless I told him and I wouldn't. Plus his offer would help but I don't want him to think he can start butting in just because I said yes.
"Okay fine BUT just this once Jeon. Once."
Holding a single close to his face, making sure he knew I meant it. But he was too busy giggling with happiness and skipped away from me towards the costumes again. Taken back by his reaction I stood there frozen watching him again look through the clothes, but he didn't know what to look for.
"Has he told you what he wants to be? I'm sure he has." Jungkook
Okay I haven't seen that bunny smile on his face in a very long time. I don't get it.
"Y/n?" Jungkook
Putting my thoughts to the side I came to stand next to Jungkook, furrowing his brows at me for only a few seconds before I pointed towards one particular costume or more like jumpsuit.
"The tiger?" Jungkook
He pointed to it, half surprised but also seemingly appears to be amused by that.
"Yeah. He says he wants to be a tiger this year and growl at people."
I picked up his size which so happens to be at the front and pushed it to his chest, refusing to look at him but down at the floor. I appreciated this but I also felt slightly embarrassed.
"Well there's nothing wrong with an growling tiger at Halloween right? I'm sure he'll be ferocious." Jungkook
He let out a heart laugh, eyeing the onesie held out in front of him. The outfit was simple with an attached stripy tail and ears on the hood but Jeonsan will sure love it.
"Well we can go now then." Jungkook
Jungkook walked away but I remained standing there, staring at the floor. Swarmed in my own thoughts, I was just frozen by my emotions. Beside the nurse and old lady that helped me for the first two years of Jeonsan's life, I never had any help with anything and Jungkook doing this in some weird way actually helps whether he knows it or not.
So I said something that just slipped.
"Jeonsan."
I said quietly but it was audible. Not bothering to look Jungkook's way I didn't know if he heard me at first but when he responded back, clearly he did.
"Huh?" Jungkook
I brought myself to finally look at him, meeting his eyes gazing back at me in wonder. But I found myself showing him a half smile.
"His name is Jeonsan."
Jungkook's lips parted and eyes grew wide but that was for a short two seconds before he replaced it with a small yet genuine smile.
"You actually named him that?" Jungkook
I only but nodded, walking towards him but to stop only two feet away.
"Yeah, I guess it grew on me."
Patting his shoulder I left him there to walk away towards the exit to wait for him there. Now he knows what his son's name is and that it's the name he wanted to call him before he was born. I guess I just thought the name suited him when he finally entered this world.
But this still doesn't change anything.
It'll take a lot more than that if he wants to see his son. If I let him.
