Author's note : This chapter has a more sensitive scene, that could be triggering for some. Read it at you own will. (It's closer to the end, though.)

"We're back!" Jungkook says as we enter the apartment together after college is done. Never thought that we would ever come back home together. I also never thought I'd find a baby in my doorstep, but life seems to like surprises lately...

"Hi!" Anna comes towards us with a sleeping Mun-hee in her arms. "Welcome back home." She smiles sweetly at us, but I can see her smile brightens when se looks at Jungkook. When he returns her smile she blushes a bit. Cute.

"So, how was it? Did he gave you too much trouble?" I ask and pass my hand in Mun-hee's head carefully enough to not wake him up.

"Not at all." She shakes her head. "The only tough time with him today was making him stop crying after you guys left him. I can see how he's attached to you."

"He's our kid after all." Jungkook chuckles.

"Exactly." She says and chuckles as well but I can see her eyes traveling between Jungkook and I. Her eyes are a little sad, as if her crush was inaccessible. Cute once more, but poor her.

"Well, we wanted to ask if you could take care of Mun-hee for us tonight." I say hoping she will say yes.

"Yeah, we were planning to have a night out since we haven't done that since Mun-hee... came into our lives." Jungkook speaks.

"It's okay. I can take care of him tonight." She says. "But I can't come until eight p.m because I have to help my grandma with her packing. So it'll have to be after that."

"Oh, no problem. See you at eight then." Jungkook smiles at her, which she returns with a week smile but she brightens it in a matter of seconds.

"Here." I said and put the envelope with her payment on the corner. "We'll pay you for tonight later since we didn't know if you'd accept the offer." I chuckle.

"No problem." Anna comes closer to me. "It's okay if I get going then?" She asks.

"Of course! Give him to me." I opens my arms for her to give me the small infant.

"Thanks." The girl says as she picks up the envelope. "See you guys later." She smiles once again and exit our apartment.

"She's so cute." I say bouncing the little baby a little.

"Yeah." Jungkook says screeching the back of his head. "Now I've noticed what you told me."

"Huh?" I ask going towards the living room to take a sit and start caressing Mun-hee's back softly.

"That she seems to... like me."

"Oh, that?" I chuckle, "Yes, poor her, she seemed sooo sad when you said he was our kid. It was like her hopes were crashed. Now she definitely thinks we're like a couple or something like that. If she didn't already." He makes a face before speaking.

"Yeah, can't we pretend like we are one? I mean, I feel bad, but I don't want to give her hope. She's underage and it's not like I'm looking for a relationship..." he takes a sit next to me.

"If you want to..." I shrug.

"Thanks, I guess it'll be better."

"But did you say that on purpose?" I raise a brown.

"Do I really have to answer?" He say earning a chuckle from me. "I can't give her hopes, Y/n. Maybe this way she'll just give up and find someone her age who'll like her back." He shrugs.
