Single Dad [Completed]

CH. 33

I kept walking back and forth. I couldn't stand still, mulling over everything Eunji had told me. I texted Jungkook as soon as she left, asking him to come to my apartment. I cried on the phone with Taehyung because I needed to tell someone about what had happened, and he offered to come to my place but I said it wasn't necessary, although I would love one of his ‘healing hugs’. I still felt anxious. I drowned my tears in half a candy bar and was holding myself back from eating the rest.

I refuse to let that witch dictate what I should do but I can't just ignore her accusations. The last thing I want is to see Jungkook devastated that he has lost custody of San and that it was my fault since I could have prevented it. But, I have a plan. Half a plan, actually, but at least it’s something.

Jungkook knocked on my door and I rushed to open it, not even giving him time to enter the code. One look at my face and he knew something was wrong. His expression turned serious as he entered the apartment.

“What happened?”

“Eunji paid me a visit” I sat down on the couch, again biting my fingernail. I hate what anxiety does to me. I should have done the breathing exercises my psychologist had taught me a while ago. Why didn't I think of that before.

I looked at Junkook who was wide-eyed. He raked a hand through his hair and sighed.

“Shit” he murmured before sitting down next to me “What did she say?”

“That if I don’t break up with you she’s gonna apply for full custody of San” I stared at him and hugged a cushion that was beside me since I needed to do something with my hands and didn’t want to ruin my nails “That she’s gonna falsify evidence that she was trying to contact you over the years”

“Oh fuck”

We both remained silent, with my speech hanging in the air between us. The weight of my words and what they meant.

“Maybe we should try to do what she wants” I mumbled and he turned to me at the same instant.

“W-what?” he blinked a few times and I noticed that his eyes brimmed with tears “You want to break up? I don’t want to break up! W-we just started dating, I can’t let you go like that. No. That’s not an option”

“Kook, that’s not I’m saying” I smiled emphatically and he sniffled, on the verge of tears.

“No?” I got closer and touched his cheek, wiping away a tear that had fallen. I shook my head.

“No. But we could at least pretend we’re not together anymore, to see if it helps the case”

“You’re so mean!” he used both hands to sweep his eyes and I smiled “You can’t just say something like that to me, do you hate me?” he gazed at me and I decided to make a good thing out of a bad situation. It felt right.

“Of course I don’t. I kinda love you” he widened his eyes slightly and his cheeks turned rosy. Jungkook opened his mouth and closed it, not knowing exactly what to say, making me giggle “You don’t have to say anyth-”

“No! I want to” he held my hand all flustered in an adorable way making me want to kiss him all over “I love you too, Y/n” his trademark playful smile resurfaced along with his scrunched nose and I needed to fulfill my wish.

So I cupped his cheek leaning in to smooch his pretty lips, and it was just eerily incredible and magical as our first kiss. He glided the palm of his hand across my body, yanking me onto his lap and bringing back wonderful memories of the last time we were in this position.

I love how Jungkook kisses. It’s not sloppy or rushed, he knows what he’s doing and he takes his sweet time on it. His tongue snuck inside every now and then for a fleeting taste before withdrawing seductively, making me want more.
