Twist of Fate | Jinkook ✔️

Chapter Thirty-Four

Seokjin's Pov:

I looked at the pile of laundry before me, it was a lot of clothes, and it was only Lilac's clothes. As it was Thursday, it was her laundry day. I gave each of my babies their own laundry day as it made more sense for me to do it that way instead of washing them all in one day.

Over the past three months, I have certainly gotten to know my babies. They did get a lot cuter, way cuter than I could've imagined. It was easier for me to tell my sons apart than my daughters, Ares has a mole beneath his lip, and Dionysus doesn't, which is helpful. Jungkook claims he can tell them all apart, but I don't believe him. He uses their outfits. I will switch their colors on one of these fine days and test him.

He hates that I nickname them after colors and have them dressed in outfits that always represent their colors. He calls them by their name, which isn't surprising, though I know he still uses their outfits to do that. As I said, I will test him one day when he least expects it.

Because kids wore so much clothing throughout the week—sometimes as many as three or four different outfits in a single day—doing their laundry took up much of my time. Since Lilac enjoyed puking all over her clothing, she required many outfit changes. The concept of bibs was not appealing to Jungkook; instead, he referred to them as collars and said he banned his children from wearing them. I occasionally wondered who raised him, but then I reminded myself that no one did.

Also, he was against the use of pacifiers, and as a result, I ended up donating all of the ones I had purchased. As a parent in the last three months, I have found that my husband has several strong objections regarding the things we do with our children. There were certain things I was unwavering in my stance on because they were important to me, while other things I chose to ignore. It brought about peace in the home, which I needed more than anything else, given that I am now dealing with five butter beans driving me insane. I could only deal with issues with the babies; issues involving Jungkook were beyond my capabilities.

He had been home with us for two months and then went back to traveling. He didn't go on long trips, though. Most of the time, he was back in two days. I used to feel bad for him because I could see how tired he was when he got home, but then I remembered that I didn't sleep either because of the butter beans. When he was gone, there was one less person to help with them at night. I've been thinking about getting another nanny to care for the kids at night. I think it's important.

Jungkook wanted to hire a nanny for each of them to take care of them day and night, but I'm not on board with that. That's too many damn people in our house, and I don't want us to become dependent on them. I plan to use this system until the kids are two years old. I think Jungkook and I can take care of them without additional help when that time comes.

After putting a load of clothes in the machine, I went to Lilac's laundry shelf to get her detergent but was startled when the laundry room door opened.

"Figured I would find you here."

I turned around and looked at my husband. I was tempted to throw the bottle at him because he had increased my heart rate. He knew I was getting older. I could have a heart attack over the smallest things.

"You scared me. What are you doing at home? I thought your flight wasn't coming in until later?"

"I thought you'd be happy to see me here." As he walked into the room and shut the door, he smiled.

"I am happy to see you, but it still doesn't change. I was expecting you-"

"Who were you expecting?"

"I don't know. But, seriously, why are you here so early? I thought you were coming later, and I was going to make dinner for you."
