Single Dad [Completed]

CH. 4

When the elevator doors opened on Jungkook's floor, I could already hear Jeonsan crying, which made my heart squeeze. It’s late already, it made me wonder if one of the neighbours made a complaint.

I texted my friends one more time ‘Back at Jk’s house’ to make them suffer a little more and to know where I am if anything and rang the bell. Not a second later Jungkook opened with his little boy in his arms, whose cheeks were rosy and wet. When he saw me, he reached out his arms so I could pick him up, holding him close when I did.

"It's okay, baby. I'm here for you" I said as I stroked his head and back, paying attention when the crying began to stop. Jungkook sighed loudly and when I looked at him I realized how tired he looked, more than usual. It makes me wanna take him and put him to sleep for two days.

"His room is the door on the left. Maybe you can help him sleep?" he asked, one hand scratching his neck as he looked down, probably embarrassed.

"I'll try" I gave him a reassuring smile and headed for San's room. It was small and one of the walls was covered with his drawings, each of them with ‘J.S’ written at the bottom, something I didn’t get the chance to notice when I was there earlier.

And for the next 15 minutes I wiped the tears from his face, and while gently rocking back and forth I hummed any One Direction song (directioner forever) with him in my arms, since he refused to be placed in his little bed and fall asleep on his own.

When his grip around my neck loosed up and I realized he had slept, I laid him down, covered him and kissed his forehead before returning to the living room to find Jungkook sitting on the couch, his elbows propped on his knees and his head resting in his hands.

"He's asleep" he immediately looked up at me and nodded, propping his back up on the couch. I took the liberty of sitting in front of him.

"Thanks" he whispered "I'm the worst father ever" he stared at the ceiling.

"Of course not!" he laughed sarcastically at my response "I'm serious. I've had a chance to see how you take care of him and you're a great dad, Jungkook"

His gaze met mine and he could probably read all the questions in my eyes. Neither of us looked away, and the silence that stretched between us was comforting. And to think that initially I was afraid to come here and now I just don't want to leave. Right now I get to see him and not the image that the rumors painted of him. There was something about Jungkook that captivated me and I wanted to discover every one of his secrets.

When he finally opened his mouth to say something, we heard someone putting the code on the door and rushing in.

"I'm here! Where's my baby?" the blonde boy asked, looking at Jungkook. He was out of breath as if he had run there.

"He's sleeping, Jimin," Jungkook asked nonchalantly, followed by a sigh and the boy almost had a stroke.

"Well, thank you for picking up your phone and telling me after going crazy about-" his eyes landed on me, finally acknowledging my presence "Oh. Hello, you must be Y/n"

“Yeah, that’s me” I smiled “Nice to meet you… Jimin?” I wanted to confirm I heard his name right so he nodded.

“It’s nice to finally meet Kook’s partner” he sat down next to his friend “This is the first semester we have class together, right?”

“I guess it is”

“Well, thank you for coming here and helping my Jungkookie and our baby!” wait, the hell? “San mentioned you a few times when he was with me but I didn’t imagine he would end up crying after coming home”
