The Cabin ✅

Reassurance

Taehyung

The kids and I walked up to the little cabin and knocked on the door, after a few minutes it opened slowly and Jin peaked out, puffy red eyes and a runny nose, I felt bad for him, why was he crying like this after seeing me. "Jin may we come in, I want to know what is wrong and why you reacted that way to me", I say concerned. He sighs and opens the door letting them in, Jin-Oppa this is my little brother Arlo, I didn't get a chance to introduce him earlier", she says taking Jin's hand. "I'm sorry Jo-Jo, I thought I had forgotten to turn the stove off", Jin lies not leading on to what he is truly upset about.

"You called her Jo-Jo, that's what her mother called her", I say, and I see tears stream down his face again, "I'm sorry, I wont call her that", he says sobbing. "No I want you to call me that, please Jin-Oppa", she begs. He nods. "Jin, look at me, will you talk to me and tell me what's wrong, I feel like something is really bothering you about me, and I need to know what", I say placing my hand on his shoulder.

"Do you guys like video games", Jin asked the kids. "We sure do Jin-Hyung", Arlo says excited. "Why don't you guys go into my bedroom and play, so that your dad and I can talk", he says patting them on the head and showing him where his room is. When he comes back he points to the living room for me to sit, I cant take my eyes off of him, he is just breathtaking. I smile and sit, "would you like some Tea or juice or something", he asks. "I'm okay for right now, just come talk to me, I am really nervous about all this and why you seem hesitant being around me", I say patting the couch next to me.

Seokjin

I sat next to him and kept my head down while I spoke, "Mr. Kim, your wife was killed in a car crash 3 months ago", I cant stop the tears from falling, "I was in the other car." "Oh My God you are Kim Seokjin, I have been looking for you since it happened, but your parents said you went away because you had such horrible guilt", he says wrapping his arms around me and holding me tightly while I cried. "Seokjin listen to me, you did not do anything wrong, she ran into you, she was drunk driving, you are lucky to be alive and I am sad that my wife lost her life doing something so reckless but I am so glad that you were unharmed", he says still holding me. "You aren't upset with me, the kids lost their mother", I say. "Their mother was reckless Seokjin, she wasn't thinking of them when she drank to much and decided to drive, I have plenty of money that she could have used our driver, or even called me", he says holding my hand.

He placed his hand on my cheek, "you were innocent Seokjin, I'm just so sorry that you had to suffer this long thinking this was your fault, you are not to blame for what happened." We sat for a few more minutes, in silence as I digested everything he said to me. I looked at him, I mean really looked at him for a moment and his beauty took my breath away, he has to be middle to late 20's to have kids that old, I am immediately smitten by him and I start to blush, my ears feel like they are on fire. He giggles, "why are you blushing all of a sudden", he says flashing me the most beautiful smile. "Just being this close I guess", I stood up and went to check on the kids, they were playing Mario Kart and laughing, Josie gave me her controller. "Here, you beat him, he keeps winning", she pouts. I laugh again and sit next to Arlo as he starts a new game.

Taehyung

I hear laughter coming from the bedroom and I see the kids and Seokjin playing video games, he looks adorable with his gorgeous smile and how his cheeks puff out, I can tell the kids adore him, I have never seen Arlo take to someone so quickly, his mom never played with him like this and I always seem to be working. I feel bad that the kids haven't had the parental interaction they have been needing, and now they have found it in Jin. "We better get going guys, we don't want to leave our stuff unattended to long", I say and they groan. Jin looks at me and I can still see the guilt and sadness in his eyes, while the kids put their shoes on I pull Jin into a hug, "Seokjin, please please let go of the guilt I see in your eyes, this truly was not your fault and I do not carry one ounce of blame for you", I feel him hug me tighter and I am loving the way his body feels against mine, like we fit perfectly together.

He pulls away and nods, with tears in his eyes. "You truly are beautiful Jin, inside and out", I say. He blushes a deep red and turns to the kids to see if they would like some cookies he baked. He prepared two baggies one for each for them, and then handed me my own bag. He smiles and waves to us as we walk out the door, I already feel the effects of being away from him. I sit down by the river with my fishing pole thinking of Jin when I am hit in the face with an epiphany, what if we were supposed to come here and meet Jin, Josie's dream, Jin calling her Jo Jo and the feeling that I want to be near him every minute. Arlo and I sat there on the river bank fishing while Josie read her book and all of a sudden the heavens opened up and it started to torrentially down pour, we scrambled to gather our things and get into the tents but then I heard yelling. Jin was at the top of the hill waving at us to come up to the cabin, so we did, grabbing our bags and running up the hill. As I stood on the porch I thought to myself, was that my wife telling me that I am right about Jin and I.
