Exchanged Rings | Jungkook

56

When we arrived at the house, Jae-sung and Seo-jun ran inside as if they are not tired. They look so happy and excited to get to know more about their Dad.

While me, I couldn't help but to feel nostalgic. This is where it all started. I made a lot of memories with Jungkook here. Who would've thought we'd really get along?

We used to fight a lot before we even confessed our love for each other. Everything was doing okay, but things really happen. I am sure, it happened for a reason.

But you know, I'm glad that I made that decision years ago. Because of that, Jungkook was able to focus more on his career and passion as a singer. Something that he wasn't able to do when we were still together.

I am happy for him, really. I am proud of where he is right now. I've always been proud of him. I know he worked really hard to be in that position he is stepping in right now. He deserve it.

"Mommy, will this be our new home?" Jae-sung asked. His eyes were sparkling. He seems so happy that we are here.

"Why? Do you like it here?" I reached out for his hand.

He quickly nodded his head in response. "I do, Mommy!"

I smiled and pinched his chin softly. "Okay then. I will talk to Dad about that."

He smiled at me and ran towards Seo-jun upstairs.

"Hey, you guys might trip. Be careful!" Jungkook reminded as we watch them run upstairs.

"We're fine, Daddy! Look!" Jae-sung waved his hand.

We chuckled.

Oh my. When did Jae-sung became this hyper? He's showing much smiles now. He has never done this before.

After a little tour and dinner, it's already evening. The whole day, they played games and talked about nonsense stuffs. I really don't know what they are talking about since it's about a game.

I was there, just watching them, enjoying the view. I've never imagine that I'll be able to be back again here in this house, with my kids, and Jungkook.

It's really true that you'll never know what happens next with your life. It's just unpredictable.

I am here at the kitchen. I washed the glasses that the twins used to drink milk. Mom even called me earlier to remind me to make the kids drink milk before sleeping.

I will never actually forget that, but I'm still thankful that she reminded me.

After I've done my business, I went upstairs. I was about to enter Seo-jun and Jae-sung's room, when I saw Jungkook. He was watching them sleep.

He is singing them a familiar song too. Euphoria. I can still remember it. That's the song he made me listen before. It was my favorite too.

"Appa is sorry..." he said, between his cries.

I couldn't help but to let out a single tear. I don't know, it just makes my heart clench seeing him like this.

I just gave hin more time to watch the kids as I watch him too. When he stood up, I hid behind the walls and pretend that I was just passing by. I don't want to make it harder for him.

"H-hey." he was a little stunned to see me. I sadly smiled at him. He is not even looking at me and it looks like he is avoiding my stares.

"Are the kids already asleep?" I asked.

"Yeah, they are." he looked back on the room.

I gave him a nod. I bit my lower lips. I am lost of words! I don't know what to say anymore. We look so awkward standing here in the hallway while avoiding each other's stares.
