Unwanted Marriage

Chapter 53

"Mom, my ears feel weird..." JaeMin complained, letting go of Chaeyoung's hand to pat at his ears. "I can't really hear."

"Here Chimmy, look at what mom is doing." Chaeyoung opened her mouth and forced a yawn to pop her ears.

JaeMin opened his mouth but no yawn came out.He shook his head worriedly.

"Try this then." Chaeyoung pinched her nose and took a deep breath before blowing hard. JaeMin pinched his little nose and copied her.

Suddenly he felt a pop in his ears as they were depressurized. JaeMin broke out in laughter at how silly they looked right now.

Jimin laughed to himself watching the mother son duo sitting in front of him. There was something amusing about Chaeyoung trying to teach JaeMin how to depressurize his ears.

"Mom,Dad, we're above the clouds!"
JaeMin exclaimed excitedly,
watching the fluffy white clouds under them. "It looks like a blanket... I want to sleep on it... Can I sleep on it?"

Chaeyoung and Jimin laughed at JaeMin's statement."You'll fall through chimmy! How about I get you a bed that feels like a cloud instead." Jimin offered. JaeMin pouted slightly but nodded, turning his head back to watch the blanket of clouds below.

The flight attendant returned with their beverages, and they drank their drinks before getting up from their seats.

"Let's go to the lounge." Jimin beckoned for Chaeyoung and JaeMin to follow him.

The jet lounge was a lowered platform at the back with a rounded sofa and a padded floor. A television was placed on the back wall.The three sat down together on the sofa, JaeMin sitting comfortably between his parents.

"Dad's going to work a bit so you can watch TV with mom okay?" Jimin stroked JaeMin's head. JaeMin smiled,asking Jimin to turn on some cartoons.

Hoseok and Auntie Wang relaxed in their seats,reading magazines waiting for the hour to pass by. The other three spent the remaining hour of the flight sitting in the lounge. JaeMin happily rested his head in Chaeyoung's lap as they watched Pororo together while Jimin sat beside them on his laptop looking through some documents.

The jet door opened, and the warm air from outside filled the cabin.

"How was the flight Chimmy?" Jimin asked as he lifted the small boy into his arms. JaeMin wrapped his arms around Jimin's neck, resting his head on Jimin's shoulder.

"It was really fun dad. I want to go again!"

"We'll be going again when we go home chimmy ." Chaeyoung patted JaeMin's back. Chaeyoung turned to Jimin. "Do you want me to carry him?" She offered. Jimin shook his head and hold her hand instead. "Let's just go meet the driver."

The driver was waiting outside the airport to pick them up in a small van. They got into the van and headed off to their dinner location. Jimin sat at the front while Chaeyoung, JaeMin, Hoseok and Auntie Wang sat in the back. By the time they reached the restaurant, the sun was already starting to set.

They were going to have dinner in a restaurant at their hotel by the beach; which was now painted a beautiful orange from the sunset. Chaeyoung exited the car and took a deep breath of the fresh air, enjoying the view. It was windy, but it was comfortable and refreshing rather than cold.

"Mom, it's the beach!" JaeMin hopped out of the car eagerly.

"Can we go have a look quickly?" Chaeyoung turned to Jimin who nodded.

Grabbing JaeMin's hand, the two took off their shoes and left it with Auntie Wang before heading to the water.
JaeMin sunk his toes into the warm sand, letting his little feet sink into the fine grains. He laughed happily, as they approached the rising waves. Jimin stayed by the car and chatted with Hoseok while watching the two play by the water.

JaeMin ran around excitedly in the cool water, the waves hiking up to his knees.Everytime a wave came running up, he shouted in joy and ran back towards the shore. Chaeyoung followed along, picking him up when a wave came too close to soaking them. It was great to see JaeMin have this much fun,especially with all that has been happening recently.

"Rosé! JaeMin!" Jimin called from the car. "Let's have dinner first, we can come back to the beach tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Chaeyoung called back,taking JaeMin's little hand in hers before making their way back to the car. Auntie Wang handed the two a towel to dry off their legs. Wiping JaeMin's feet, Chaeyoung put his shoes back on before drying off herself. The five then headed into the restaurant for dinner.

Possibly because JaeMin didn't have his afternoon nap, he was starting to get tired.During the dinner he chewed slowly, his eyelids fluttering as they started getting heavier as he ate.Even when his eyes closed, he sat in his chair in a daze; his little mouth still chewing.

Chaeyoung reached over to take JaeMin's bowl and grab the fork from his hand. JaeMin's eyes opened suddenly as he was awoken by her touch. "Mom I can eat by myself." He smiled.

JaeMin picked up some food from
his place with his fork, bringing it to his mouth before nodding off again. He smeared some sauce on his cheek as his head swayed back and forth in an attempt to stay awake. He looked incredibly cute, and everyone sitting around the table couldn't help but smile at his adorable state.

Chaeyoung used a napkin to wipe his little mouth. "Chimmy, are you really tired?"

"Mom, I'm very sleepy..." JaeMin managed to mumble out before
Chaeyoung sighed and smiled at the small boy, lifting him up from his seat into her arms. JaeMin snuggled up in her embrace, mumbling slightly before falling asleep in her arms.

"Jimin, what's our room numbers? I'll take him up first."

"I'll come with you, let me carry him." Jimin extended his arms and Chaeyoung gently placed the sleeping boy in them. "Let's go pick up the keys from the counter."

The five left the restaurant and picked up their room keys; they were all staying on the top floor of the hotel
where the suites were. Chaeyoung and Jimin had a master suite,Auntie Wang and JaeMin were in a smaller suite, and Hoseok had his own private suite.

"I'll see you tomorrow morning sir, ma'am." Hoseok bid the couple goodnight before returning to his room.

"Goodnight Hoseok." Jimin nodded before walking to Auntie Wang and JaeMin's suite. Auntie Wang followed along, holding JaeMin's bags.

The room was large; separated into a living area and a bedroom with an incredible view of the ocean. The bedroom had two large beds, one for Auntie Wang and one for JaeMin.

They made their way into the bedroom, placing JaeMin down carefully on the bed.

Chaeyoung took his shoes off,used towel to wipe his body clean. She was very gentle with her movements, careful not to wake the sleeping boy up. Chaeyoung cleaned JaeMin up and changed him into his pajamas. Auntie Wang tried to step in and help, but Chaeyoung waved her off instead.

Auntie Wang felt anxious about letting Chaeyoung do everything even though it was her job. Despite that she knew Chaeyoung wouldn't budge even if she kept asking. She knew Chaeyoung was usually too kind to the workers, and often preferred to do things herself because of her kind nature, so she stood to the side and watched instead;handing Chaeyoung JaeMin's clothes.

Jimin stood at the side observing Chaeyoung quietly as she cared for JaeMin. Chaeyoung placed JaeMin onto his bed, pulling the blanket up over him. She kissed his forehead gently and went back to the living room to clean up JaeMin's bags so she can return to their own room.

Jimin grabbed Chaeyoung's wrist lightly, pulling her to him.

"Do you want to go out for a while?"
