A Taste of You || TaeJin [Completed]

53. Lean On Me

Third Person’s P.O.V

Taehyung hadn’t really gotten much sleep last night, passing out on the couch in the living room after he had spend a goodful of hours procrastinating about what he was actually going to do to make it all work right…to appease Jin to stay, not because he was bound to but because he wanted to.

The way Jin had spat the words about their current scenario being a liability and not something he wished for really was a hard blow to his hopes of being finally forgiven.

Jin had made it very clear that he wasn’t forgiven…neither was he trusted nor did Jin want to get back with him.

So, Taehyung decided to start with a few pointers he jotted down in his mind-

1. no being cheesy or flirty…Jin had forever hated it. So, he decided he’ll try to act mature…like a real adult should.

2. let Jin win all the arguments…no trying to get his way or Jin will call him selfish again.

3. no obsessing about having Jin all to himself…hard but let’s not mess things up a second time.

4. no being demanding n definitely no touching…well, until Jin wants to…if he wants to…

5. to try to be considerate, put him first…think from his perspective, no impulsive rash reckless acts.

However…

He woke up startled to hear a scream, panic-stricken eyes flitting about to understand what just happened and rushed upstairs to see Jin trying to feed the kids but seemed to be pathetically failing as they pulled his hair, chewed on his arm or puked on him.

“I’m already so late for work…please you two…stop it and just eat” Jin pleaded close to tears as he struggled to hold on the two, barring Jeno from running away while he held Jisung down and fed him a spoonful of some odd colourless paste of something Taehyung could not really recognize.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” He spoke hurrying into the room, picking Jeno up to help Jin feed Jisung with more ease.

“Why won’t they eat?! I’m losing my patience now” Jin grumbled.

“When did you have any patience at all?” Taehyung blurted without realizing what he had just said to see Jin scowling at him with fiery eyes and snapped his mouth shut before he could ruin the situation further.

“Fine then, why don’t you try? I’m sure gonna win them over with your charms” Jin jibed giving him a wide fake smile. Handing Jisung to him too as Taehyung gaped at him believing he was joking.

“J-Jin? Hey…!” Taehyung fumbled insecurely.

“Have fun…I’ll see you in the evening” Jin said heading to walk out of the room.

“Wait!” Taehyung scurried still carrying Jeno and Jisung on either arms “how do you expect me to look after them all day?! I have zero clue about taking care of children!”

“Well, I was trying but clearly you believe you can do better” Jin jibed

“I didn’t mean it like that” Taehyung whined, slightly panicking now to even think about looking after the kids all by himself “I can’t do this alone Jin, you know that”.

And this was the reason one could find the two trying to feed the kids while they watched several tutorials on the dos and don’ts on how to take care one year old babies. 

“What is this you are feeding them?” Taehyung sniffed the bowl unsurely, the pale gloop didn’t look very appealing.

“Oatmeal, I checked and it said that we can feed them oatmeal” Jin spoke still struggling against Jeno who denied to eat.
