Tug of War | a VMIN Story - the sequel to Regrets? (BOOK 3)

Crush

September 2014

Jimin had been working in the company for the past two months. He tried to make sure that he is walking the reading ads to his success, not just for himself, but most importantly for his daughter Minji. If Jimin is to picture his path, it's like a tunnel with only one exit. In that exit is where his daughter is, waiting. That was how determined he was.

"My princess, Dad will be at work, be good okay? and behave well hmm? " Jimin kissed his daughter's cheek before exiting the house. He made sure that Minji is taken care of and that she gets equal attention same as her cousins with two parents.

Jimin fastened his seatbelt and exited the parking space. He was happy that his Dad gave him a car that would be convenient for going to work. He sold the car that he had before when they were still leaving at the Jeons. Jimin thought that he wouldn't be needing them since Jungkook had two cars. He gave Jimin his second car when they were still living with him. But since the two already separated. It's just right to leave whatever it is that belongs to his ex.

Jimin was talking to himself while driving on his way to work. He thought to himself that his daughter would not feel any different. Like he is to have two parents to love and be there for her. It's a good thing, Mr. Park and Mrs. Park are also there at that time to help him out. Jimin thought he was somewhat lucky because his child would get to live a normal life, in a normal environment.

Little by little, his daughter was learning new things, and Minji was growing up with her Unnies Eun Jin and Eun Hye who were Yoongi and Hoseok's daughters. Their age gap was not far that is why all three were close friends-cousins.

Jimin reached the office and walked to his work table. He passed by Jin's station and Jin said to him" hi". Jimin was always polite and also professional that's why he shyly said "hello". And he took his seat, and automatically works on the papers that were assigned to him. There was one file that Jimin had a challenge with and he needed assistance. He went to Jin's workstation to seek help since Jin was a batch older than him. He helped Jimin out and they finished their case perfectly. "Thanks, Jin" Jimin said smiling as he have the files with him and went back to his seat. " Anytime for you Jimin," Jin said smiling. " Why is he so cute?" Jin murmured to himself and continued with what he is doing.

Days passed by and Jin and Jimin find themselves being comfortable with each other. When the bosses ordered them to rotate their places. Jin asked Jimin to choose the station next to him. "Jimin chose the one that's next to mine, so you know, you don't have to walk all the way thru, I'll be next to you and we will just help each other out. " Jin said pointing to the vacant station next to him. "That's a great idea Jin," Jimin said smiling. The two grew a little close over time.

"Minji, princess what are you doing?" Jimin was laying down on his bed, he didn't know that Minji grabbed something from his grandma's bag. Jimin picked up Minji from the far side of his bed, and to his surprise, Minji who was 1 year old and some months knew how to apply lipstick perfectly. "Good choice princess! It's red! " Jimin jokingly said and went to the living room where his Mom is. "Eomma, look, Minji has something for you," Jimin said laughing and he helped Minji hand the lipstick back to his grandma. "You look beautiful Minji!" Eun Hae pecked Minji's cheeks. "I was looking for this". Eun Hae showed them that she was looking for the Chanel lipstick that Minji played with earlier." We're sorry grandma! " Jimin and Minji said then they went back to the room. The little girl was sleepy and was tired from watching nonstop Barbie shows on tv with her cousins. " Good night Mom," Jimin said in his low voice and was already walking towards their room.

Jimin slowly put down Minji on her bed. The two chose to share rooms. Mr. Park bought Minji a nice princess and a toddler bed.

This bed is the one that Mr. Park chose so that his granddaughter could sleep comfortably. It was located at the far left of Jimin's room.

While Jimin has this at the center of their room. He made sure that it looks cohesive with Minji's bed. And they chose the color Blue as it is his favorite color.

Jimin plopped himself to bed. He was sleepy and tired from his work earlier. He got home at 6 pm. He checked his social media and liked the one that their boss posted. Jimin noticed his notification, and Jin replied with a comment on his reaction. He smiled and put his phone on its nightstand and slept. Who knew that will be the start of something for Jin and Jimin. Usually, Jimin would have a premonition or deja vu of events but Jimin didn't foresee this one coming...

It was a weekend and it will be their normal family time. Mr. Park and Mrs. Park were invited to one of their friend's events and Yoongi's family will be visiting Hoseok's family in Gwangju. Minji and Jimin were supposed to be left alone in the house when Jimin decided midday to take Minji out on a date. It's their bonding time and he wanted Minji to enjoy it as well. Jimin thought that if he will be alone. That will just trigger him to dwell on sad memories and he doesn't want that to happen. He is already doing well with his recovery, same with Minji.

Jimin and Minji went to their favorite mall and did some shopping, Jimin has a habit of spoiling the ones he loves and that is why he splurges on nice clothes for his little princess.

Jimin and Minji were having a blast until he receive a message from an anonymous number.." hi crush" and that made Jimin wonder who would it be. He hoped it wasn't Jungkook because he is so done with him. Then there was a follow-up message from that same number. "It's me, Jin" Jimin smiled and placed the phone back in his pocket.
A/N: yes! Another update. Hehe.. what do you think of this chap? Hehe. Hope y'all enjoyed it.

Stay safe always.
