Nobody knows my heart like you

Ch 22

''That little brat taught my child it was okay to be gay!'' The man shouted.

''Sir, it is okay to be gay.'' Mrs. principle sighed.

''Oh, honey! What did you do?'' A young woman came rushing.

Seeing her, Namjoon's eyes went wide and he crouched down to hide his face.
''Let's end this here for today, guys. Let me treat you to ice-cream.'' He said to the children.

''But he called appa mean words!'' Roselyn insisted, receiving approvals from her friends.

''It's all right, darling. Appa will take you to your favourite restaurant tonight for being so brave. So, let's go now.'' Namjoon kissed her forehead and tried convincing her.

''Namjoon? Kim Namjoon?'' The same woman called out.

'I have the shittiest luck.'

Namjoon sighed and turned to look at the woman. ''Yes? Do I know you?''

''Oh, please.'' She scoffed. ''Don't pretend you don't remember me.''

She leaned in closer. ''After all, I'm the reason you have this little thing.''

Namjoon smiled at her with a hidden menacing glint in his eyes. ''Don't you f**king dare talk about my daughter like that.''

''Oh?'' She crouched down to look at Roselyn. ''Aren't you a pretty little girl? Well, I'm not surprised your father has had quite the glow up.''

Roselyn stared blankly at this lady who didn't seem very nice.

Seeing her expression, the woman said, ''You don't like me?''

''No.'' Roselyn's face had no expressions.

''Hyung, you think they're friends?'' Jungkook asked.

''Absolutely not. Come on, we'll go save the day.'' Taehyung held his hand and went to Namjoon.

''Hey, Joon!'' Both of them said in unison.

''Uh- what are you two doing here?'' Namjoon looked at them, confused.

''Came to check up on you!'' Jungkook smiled at the kids.

''Miss, we hope you don't mind is stealing him like this. We have an important meeting, so we'll have to leave. Sorry.''

''N-No! I don't mind at all.'' The woman blushed at Taehyung's handsome face.

And, just like that, Namjoon was dragged back to the company. The three brave men's parents came to pick them up, but they did not fail to give a sweet treat to Roselyn.

*****
Currently, Jungkook was at the daycare floor of the company with Roselyn.

Jungkook took Roselyn on his lap, wrapped his arms around her small figure and kissed her cheek. She giggled sweetly at the action. Jungkook noticed she looked so little compared to him. He was used to having all adult people around him, so having someone so small in his lap worried him.

What if he was too harsh?
What if his hands were too strong for her?
What if she got hurt because of him?

Oh god, what if he broke her entire skeleton to chalk dust?

Jungkook was busy overthinking when he felt smaller hands grab his hands and remove them. He saw Roselyn get up and hug him tightly with all the strength her body could muster. After a few seconds, he lightly put each of his hands on the back of her head and spine to hug her back.

As if she knew he was overthinking, she said...

''See? I'm not made of glass.''
She pulled away and said.

''H-Huh?'' The adult man tilted his head to the side.

''You were busy worrying about my small and weak body, weren't you? Everybody does. Even Yoongi! And he's only a year older than me.''
Roselyn pouted.

This made Jungkook chuckle. ''It's because you're too precious. You're sweet, you're nice, you're brave and you have lots of love for everybody in your heart.'' He smiled and fixed her silver butterfly hairpin.

''Aww, thank you.'' She hugged him again.

''You sure do love being affectionate, don't you?''

''What does that mean?'' She asked.

''It means you love loving people.''

''Oh...'' She nodded in understanding. ''My auntie says there are some detached people who need love to open up but if they don't give your ef-efo-efforts!'' She
started again. ''Your efforts back to you, they're utter trash.''

''Mhm? And how many potential uncles have you had?''

''My auntie is a goddess! No man is good enough for her!'' Roselyn announced proudly.

''Right.. right..'' Jungkook laughed softly.

***

Jungkook was humming a song that was introduced to him by Taehyung, while Roselyn was on his lap colouring the sunflower according to the colour codes.
The little lady in his lap stopped and turned to look at him.

''I know that song! Appa loves that song.'' She pinched his cheeks. ''Sing it again, please?''

''I-I don't sing.''

''But you have such a nice voice, I'm sure you can sing if you try!''

''You think?''

''Yeah! And if you can't, I promise I'll not make fun of you.'' Roselyn held out her pinky.

Jungkook hooked his finger with Roselyn's and started singing.
''For all those times you stood by me,
For all the truth that you made me see,
For all the joy you brought to my life,
For all the wrongs you made right.
For all the dreams you made come true,
For all the love I found in you.
I'm grateful for each day, baby, you're the one who held me up.''

This was the song Namjoon listened to when he would be sad and this was also the song he played for Roselyn and said, 'I'll play this song at your 18th birthday, during our father-daughter dance.'

Roselyn was staring at him with stars in her eyes.

''Don't stare like that. It makes me nervous.'' Jungkook let out a nervous laugh.

''Oh, sorry.'' She giggled. ''But, you have such a beautiful voice, you should be an idol!''

Both of them laughed together.

''By the way, aren't there supposed to be more children, here?''

''Well yeah, but you're the boss, so they decided to show you the room, which is only for napping.''

''But don't worry! There are many other rooms for napping.'' She quickly added in case Jungkook would feel bad.

''Lyn! Lyn! We nweed your hwelp!'' A little boy came rushing, but stopped as soon as he saw the adult in the room. ''Oh- hellwo, mistwer.'' He bowed politely.

What's good, people? Sorry for disappearing for a month, I hate the fact that I got motivated just before exams...

I had the Jk & Rose part written long before I even published the story, so I decided to use it!

What would you do if you accidentally spill a secret of your friend to someone else?

Hope you like the chapter. Have a great day/night! Bye~~
