32. Have a seat, hyung
Taehyung grinned from ear to ear as he looked at his sleeping son, who had an adorable pout on his face. Ji-hu was softly breathing on Taehyung's chest and grasping his father's t-shirt tightly as if he couldn't bear letting him go.
Taehyung, on the other hand, was beaming at his son and writing something in a small diary with his right hand. The diary was placed on his right side of the bed. He continued to write, pausing now and then to look at his little one.
The sudden knock at Taehyung's door caused him to close the diary as though on reflex. However, the appearance of the shorter male caused his eyes to widen.
"Hyung?" Taehyung inquired lowly as if he was debating whether or not he was seeing the right person.
The shorter male gave an awkward smile while rubbing his nape. He entered the room while closing the door behind him and looked around because it was his first time entering Taehyung's room.
The room looks pretty with Ji-hu's pictures. He must really love his son it seems.
Because he understood it was his first time here, Taehyung allowed the elder some time to look around. He was also thankful that the last time he slept with Jia, he had taken down their wedding pictures. When Jia said those things, he was hurt, and while crying, he took down those photos, which just made him cry more. As he gazed at Ji-hu sleeping sweetly, he was delighted he had done so.
Ji-hu would have asked more questions if he had seen those photos in his room.
"T-Taehyung..." Yoongi stuttered, glancing around, but not at Taehyung, feeling strange for going into the younger's room and chatting to him normally, something he had never done before.
"Yes, hyung?" Taehyung answered lowly, not wanting to wake up his son.
When Yoongi looked up, he cooed in awe at the sight. Ji-hu was sleeping atop Taehyung while clutching his shirt.
Yoongi's heart warmed up and he began to feel bad for keeping a son away from his father. He must have missed Taehyung.
"Jia called me up." Yoongi continued, this time looking at Taehyung, who was wearing a soft expression on his face and staring at Yoongi's dark orbs with doe eyes.
Yoongi could clearly see the resemblance of Ji-hu's doe eyes with Taehyung's, now that he was watching it closely.
"I need to drop Ji-hu to his playschool tomorrow. Jia will pick him up later on."
Taehyung gazed at his son, who was soundly asleep, and then at Yoongi while contemplating his thoughts. "Can I drop him, Hyung? I'd like to do it once, please~"
Yoongi's eyes widened at the younger's unexpected demand. "What if Jia-"
"You don't have to tell her the truth if she's so against it. She won't know it anyways. I just want to know how his friends are and if he likes going there or not." Taehyung responded quickly, attempting to persuade Yoongi to change his mind before the elder could finish his concerns.
"Okay, we can do that," Yoongi said, returning his gaze to Ji-hu.
The little one wiggled and woke up with a jerk, sitting up on Taehyung's stomach and rubbing his eyes with his tiny fists. Both the elders cooed as they looked at Ji-hu.
"Sweepy~" Ji-hu said sweetly with a pout as he glanced at his father, who was now clutching his waist in dread of dropping his son.
"Come here, bub," Taehyung wrapped his left hand on Ji-hu's back and patted his chest with his right hand, signaling Ji-hu to lay down again. "My baby wants to sleep here?" He inquired in a baby voice, perplexed as to how elders change their tone when conversing with babies, but continued speaking anyway.
Ji-hu nodded and laid down again, this time putting his head on Taehyung's shoulder, completely oblivious to his uncle's presence, and drifted off to sleep.
Taehyung grinned as he looked at his son, completely forgetting about Yoongi's presence.
Yoongi watched everything with heart eyes and wondered if he knew everything about Taehyung or not. The Taehyung he was witnessing at the moment looked like he would do anything for his loved ones.
Then why would he divorce Jia? Do I know a complete reality or is there something that I don't know? I just hope that I didn't do anything wrong till now.
Yoongi said, "I'll go now," and then vanished in a flash of light without waiting for Taehyung's response.
Everything happened so quickly that all Taehyung could do was stare at the disappearing figure as Yoongi shut the door.
Taehyung shrugged and turned off the bedside lamps before hugging his son and drifting off to sleep.
I'm not sure if I did the right thing by keeping Jia and Ji-hu away from Taehyung. I'm not sure if I did right by being rude to Taehyung. Before I regret setting up Jia and Jungkook, I should learn everything I can about their past that I may have overlooked.
Yoongi talked to himself in his mind and turned back to look at the closed door of Taehyung's room before walking away. However, before he could go to the elevator, the door of the next room opened.
"Hyung, what are you doing here?" Jimin asked shockingly when he looked at Yoongi. Only Taehyung's and Jimin's rooms were on that side of the corridor. If he hadn't come to meet me, it has to be Taehyung.
"I had to speak with Taehyung," Yoongi responded calmly as he looked at the shocked mochi.
Jimin shifted his body a little to the right of the door as if inviting Yoongi to join him. "Would you like to come in?"
Yoongi looked around and then sighed while entering Jimin's room. His day might have been normal, but his night was surely throwing unexpected surprises at him. First Taehyung and now Jimin.
He looked around at the cute room, which had a soft bed in the middle of the room, and then there was a corner where all the colorful soft toys were present. No wonder why Ji-hu loves coming here.
"Have a seat, hyung." Jimin sat on his bed, staring at the older, who appeared to be debating where he should take a seat. He anyhow nodded and sat down in a chair near the bed.
An uncomfortable silence filled the room. It was the first time they had sat in the same room without talking rudely. More like Yoongi did that but still.
Jimin hated the silence and so he thought to break the ice. "Hyung, why do you hate me? Is it because I'm Taehyung's best friend or is it because of something else?"
Jimin's question caught Yoongi off guard. He never disliked Jimin, but he avoided the younger's presence for the same reason: he was Taehyung's best friend. He didn't want to get involved in anything that had to do with Jia's past. He had no idea, however, that the other people could figure out how he was avoiding them.
"I've never hated you, Jimin. I only ignored you because I didn't want to get involved with anyone from Jia's past."
"I wasn't directly related to her. Don't you think you've been acting too immature all this time?" Jimin looked offensive which he was and that only made Yoongi gulp. He looked down to avoid Jimin's enraged stare.
On not getting any response from Yoongi, Jimin felt guilty to talk harshly with the elder. Moreover, Yoongi avoiding his gaze made him feel worse. He walked up to Yoongi and knelt down, talking Yoongi's hands in his.
"I apologize for being disrespectful, Hyung. However, I've always thought of you as my older brother. It hurt me when you treated me like that." He tightened his grip, encouraging Yoongi to look up.
"You might not be aware of all that happened between Jia and Taehyung," Jimin added as Yoongi peered into Jimin's chocolatey orbs. "And I'm not the right one to reveal the truth. I don't want you to dislike me because you think I'm siding with Taehyung since he's my best friend. But all I can say is that Taehyung isn't entirely wrong. You need to know the truth before you hate him."
Yoongi was confused would be an understatement. He was clear with one thing Jimin wasn't just taking Taehyung's side because they were best friends. He was certain, though, that there was something he was missing. But what could it be?
