Mr. Handsome & Wealthy | Jinkook ✔️

Chapter Thirty-One

A chuckle leaves Jungkook surprising the directors in the meeting; glancing up to look at them, who were all staring at him, he puts his phone down. "Apologies for the distraction; my boyfriend shared a picture of the kids making mud pies; I didn't realize kids could find playing in mud exciting. Anyway, let's resume the meeting. How is the build-out of the new space going?"

When his meeting was over, and everyone departed the conference room, Jungkook picked up his phone and slides through all the content Jin had been sharing with him. He and the kids were in their swimwear playing and having a lot of fun from what Jungkook observed looking at the pictures.

Although he had been upset with Jin seeing the pictures erased whatever anger he was feeling, sighing to himself, he dialed Jin's number wanting to hear his voice and apologized for his outburst earlier.

"Hey," Jin answered on the first ring. "Guessing you got the pictures?"

"I did; you guys are having fun. It seems like all the fun happens when I am away."

A laugh echoed over the line, "I have two little ones who enjoy having fun; what can I say. Maybe this weekend we will invite you into our fun, that is, if you are not still upset with me."

"Jin, about that, I am sorry-"

"No, Jungkook, you were right. I should be the one apologizing. My communication was terrible last night; I should have been more honest and transparent with you. I did ignore your calls, but it's not because I didn't want to talk to you; I was going to call you back after I was finished talking with Jimin. It wouldn't have been polite for me to be with him, listening to him and then talking to you on the phone at the same time. I should have sent you a text telling you that, but I was caught up in our conversation that I didn't.

I know you have told me how you feel about my friendship with Jimin, but he is pregnant and engaged to be married; nothing is going on-"

"I didn't think anything was going on there, but it bothered me that the moment I asked you to move in was the same day you wanted to go back to your apartment. You have been sleeping over for months now, and not once you wanted to go home, so it threw me off, and I guess, left me with some doubts and thoughts."

Jin sighed on the other end of the line, "It's scary."

"What's scary?"

"Moving in and living together with someone that is not my family or my best friend. I have never done this before, I know deep down I want to, but I don't know; yesterday, my mind couldn't stop racing thinking about it, that I wanted a moment to talk to someone who knows me best, so I could get their input. That's Jimin for me; he tells me like it is and lets me know if I am making the right choices.

I fear moving in will change things with us. I don't want to lose what I have with you, and I don't want to lose what I have with the kids, most importantly. I like you, but I love those kids, they are so precious, and I would hate for my relationship with them to be destroyed because we couldn't make it work."

As Jungkook listened to Jin, he took his laptop and walked out of the conference room and towards his office, "Seokjin, baby, we fear the same things, but I also believe we are both mature enough not to allow whatever happens between us to impact the kids. I know how you feel about my kids, and I am thankful to have met you and for them to have you around. If moving in seems scary, we can hold off on it; I don't want us rushing if you are not comfortable. I think I was maybe too quick in asking that, and I am sorry, I don't want you to feel overwhelmed with me."

"No, no, I want to, I do. Besides, I already had to explain somethings to Yu Mi earlier."

Jungkook smiled, and the lump in his throat dissolved, "What's that?"
