babysitters

"HERE IS her bag." Seokjin gave me a pink bag with unicorn design on it. It almost made me laugh because he was holding this earlier while in a formal suit.

He and Irene has somewhere to go and he called me to take care of his daughter in the mean time as my compensation to his daughter for not showing up. Probably, his daughter complained to him and waited two years for me to get home.

And now, we're in their garage, Seokjin leaving me instructions.

"If she asked for something, give it to her immediately unless it's candies or chocolates. We banned her from eating too much candies or she'll get cavities."

He sighed while starting the engine of his car. "Irene is already scolding me for giving into her yesterday. Don't spoil her too much, okay?"

I shrugged, "Yeah, yeah. Noted."

"Also, if Seoyoon cried and asked for us, just pat her back and watch some cartoons. She easily gets distracted."

"Got it." I nodded nonchalantly as if I was bored.

But deep inside, I'm panicking because I don't really know what to do.

I'm taking care of a child! This is totally out of my league. And it's more pressuring because it's my friend's daughter. Seokjin will kill me if ever I make a mistake.

Look, I have no idea how to babysit a child. Damn, I spent my years in my office, working my ass to grow my company and tending to meetings and such. And I just got back from US last last week! So how the fuck would I know?

Lastly, I'm a bachelor who don't even have any experience with kids. Now, I'm taking care of one. How ironic.

Just hope that I don't mess this up or else, I'll have to face the wrath of Seokjin. Oh God.

After looking at Seokjin who was busy tending to his car, he went back to their house to fetch his wife.

Of course, I followed. I have nothing to do with his car. I have my own.

In the living room, I saw Irene who's talking to someone with a sleeping Seoyoon in her arms and...

A woman who's really beautiful, comparable to Venus herself.

I can't believe that after all these years of trying the celibate life, my heart thumped again for the same woman. Just like two years ago.

I guess my feelings never died.

"Oh? Miss Kim, you're here..." Seokjin looked at his wife, probably wondering why another person was here.

"I summoned her here, thinking that she could be the temporary babysitter again as Seoyoon's nanny couldn't make it. But it seems that you managed to get Taehyung out of his break to take care of Seoyoon for today..." Irene and Seokjin had a staring contest in front of us and I could tell that they're fighting with who'll be the babysitter of the day using telepathy.

Maybe this is my time to back out.

"Oh, since another person is here, may— oh."

"Maybe I'll go since your— ah, I'm sorry."

And the awkward silence followed the four of us but easily broken by Seokjin as he tried to alleviate the tension. "Since Miss Kim is here, you could go now Tae—"

"Uncle Taehyung? Uncle! You're also now here! Now, I have two playmates. Yay!" Seoyoon exclaimed as she woke up from her slumber.

Oh no, she saw me. Now, she won't let me go until I play with her.
