Beyond The Eyes Of A Child - Book 2

Uncle MJ

There was relative silence in the room, just the odd sound when Pablo totters into one of the other rooms or wants to go outside. The small dog sniffed the new baby once or twice but was happier to be curled up in his bed once the neighbour brought him home.

"Who was that?" Tae asks as he sits in the large armchair in their lounge with his feet up in the recliner position. Ha-da had been fed not too long ago by Jungkook and he'd handed him over to Tae so he could be free for Minjun when he arrived. Now the baby boy was fast asleep on Tae's chest.

"It was Jin asking if we are sure." Jungkook informs his gorgeous husband from the kitchen.

"Again? But they must be on their way over by now, it's 6pm." He says, keeping his voice low.

"They will be here in about two minutes but he wanted to ask again." Jungkook's breath caught in his throat as he entered the lounge from the kitchen and took in the sight of his husband holding their son on his chest.

"That's four calls in the last two hours to ask the same thing. It's important that MJ meets Ha-da today, we all agreed."

"I know and that's what I told him each time but he said he remembers how tiring it is having a newborn and proceeded to remind me that we've only been home for about eight hours." Jungkook rubs his face and leans over to kiss his husband on his head.

"They are very sweet but we need to get this right with MJ."

"They're here." Jungkook says as he looks up and hears footsteps running down the path.

Tae goes to move but Jungkook shakes his head and puts his hand up, "No, you stay there." He says as he opens the door.

He doesn't get much of a chance to react when Minjun throws himself at him, "Uncle Kookie!"

"Hey Chipmunk."

"Wow, I remember when we looked like that." Namjoon comments.

"Did we look that bad though?" Jin adds.

"Appas, you should not bully Uncle Kookie."

"Mature." Namjoon says as Jungkook sticks his tongue out at them.

They walk into the house and through to the lounge where there are a few gasps when they see Tae laying back with Ha-da on his chest. Pablo stirs from his sleep and bounces over to the guests, immediately seeking out Minjun who fusses over him.

"You also look like shit." Jin says quietly so his son doesn't hear.

"Ignore them." Jungkook says as he walks over to fuss at Pablo with Minjun, over the far side of the room.

"Was Pablo here all alone?" the boy asks his Uncle.

"No, we sent a message to our neighbour who has a key. She came to take him for walks today until we got home."

"Does Pablo like Ha-da?"

"He does. Would you like to be the first to hold Ha-da?"

Minjun's eyes open wide, "Can I?"

"We've been waiting for you. No one else is allowed to hold him until his uncle MJ has met him properly."

All his teeth are displayed as his face lights up with the biggest smile. "I'm Uncle MJ?"

"We are practically brothers, right?" He asks Minjun.

"You are my big brother, Uncle Kookie."

"Then it makes sense for someone as important as you to be Ha-da's Uncle, if you want to?"

"Yes, yes. Can I tell my Appas?"

"Definitely. Ready to go and hold him now?"

Minjun nods enthusiastically and runs over to where Tae has put the chair into an upright position. He pats the space beside him for Minjun to sit down.
