"Home is where you are loved the most."

~

It's funny how you sometimes feel like you have been through a moment before but you can't recall if it was just a dream you had one night or if it was actually a moment you had lived in before.

Jimin sat in the dark living room with his MacBook sitting on his lap along with Jeo who was dressed in his brown bunny onesie watching Kung Fu Panda as he cradled the plate of cookies in his lap. Yes, the same cookies that Jungkook had brought yesterday. 

Jeo was awake despite it being past his usual bedtime because he wanted to share his cookies with his uncle kookie. And because it was a weekend tomorrow Jimin couldn't refuse the kid who was peacefully watching movies while his father worked. 

Jimin was stressed. He had to prepare for the launch of Jang corp and even with Jungkook and Yoongi assisting him he still ended up with most of the work. Plus the management of Park Industries has been completely dropped on his shoulders after his father had resigned, signing everything to Jimin and Jihyun. But since Jihyun was still young and studying, he didn't have to work. He would only be needed for his signature sometimes. Plus after the incident that day he even had to worry about the security measures and personally look over every single detail.

He has been managing the business for the past 7 years. Why was it hard for him now? 

Jimin realized he was conflicted and confused, and it wasn't just stressing about contracts and meetings, it was the new relationships and emotions that suddenly demanded his attention. One of the reasons why he was so stressed was because Jimin didn't know what to make of the events earlier.

One was the file that Detective Bang Chan had brought him. Second thing that he was confused about was Jungkook’s absence for almost two consecutive days.

Yesterday Jungkook had been so happy that he had rushed home to spend time with the other two. But then suddenly he had left abruptly without even eating. Jimin wasnt stupid he knew it was someyhing about taehyung that had triggered Jungkook but the main question was how did they know each other? 

If they did, why did neither say anything? Jimin had felt the tension between the two, he couldn't help but wonder if there was a dispute between the two?

He closed the laptop resting on his legs and placed it on the coffee table. His mobile phone had been used to attend calls since the morning was on silent, currently charging.

Jimin's eyes moved to the clock before drifting to Jeo as his focus zoned out. He couldn't help but think back to earlier times when Jungkook had met Taehyung and had addressed Jimin as his husband. What was he trying to say? That he was accepting this relationship? Isn't that what it’s supposed to mean? Or was he trying to warn Taehyung by claiming Jimin?

But then again Jimin couldn't overlook the sudden tension between the other two. He placed his hand against his temple quietly massaging it with two fingers. He wasn't exactly the most stable right now he was on medication. And all this made his head hurt.

Even he himself wasn't sure how much longer the medication would be effective.

Jeo looked up to see his father rubbing his temples and the little child couldn't help but grow worried. He placed the bowl of kookies - uhm - cookies in his lap aside and scooted closer to Jimin before placing his little hands on his father's forehead as he asked, "Appa are you sleepy?"

Jimin's lips curved as he wrapped his arms around his son pulling the other closer so that Jeo was sitting on his stomach as Jeo continued to massage Jimin's forehead with his delicate little hands, "No appa is not sleepy just a little tired. I need to recharge."
