DON'T LET ME GO | PJM

Chapter 80

"What is it Mom?"

"Dad will take you to leave Seoul."

"You're not going?" Joon Min cut her off.

Y/N shook her head. "Grandma's health is not good, so Mom needs to stay to take care of her. Joonie needs to be good..."

"No." Joon Min immediately shook his head and leaned on her embrace to hug her. "You need to go too. If you're not going, I'm not going."

"Joonie, listen...Mom needs to stay to take care of Grandma. It's only temporary but I promise to call you everyday, okay? When you miss me, you can immediately call me anytime. We can video call, we can see each other..."

Despite Y/N's words, Joon Min still rejected the idea. He kept shaking his head and hugged her tight. "I don't want to be anywhere without you, Mommy..."

Joon Min was anxious because of his recent separation with Y/N. A fear of the unknown and unfamiliar routines and surroundings were lingering on his mind.

"Joonie doesn't want to listen to Mom anymore?" Y/N tried to be stern. "You said you will always listen to Mom, didn't you?"

He cried.

"Last time you said you would pick me up, you didn't. I waited for you for a long time..."

Y/N eyes got teary, she rubbed her eyes and took a tissue to wipe Joon Min's tears. She carried him and patted her shoulder. "Okay, Joonie. Don't cry..." She tried to calm him down. "You are the bravest boy, even when Mom is not by your side, you will be okay. Dad will take care of Joonie, okay?"

"Mommy..." Joon Min kept crying and hugged her neck while thinking.

He finally raised his face. "Then when will you come to get me?"

"Dad will take you back, so it depends on Dad.."

"Then when will Dad take me home?" Joon Min asked.

"Just wait until Dad is not busy then he will take you back, okay?"

"Em." Joon Min leaned on her body and kept silent.

It was the time for Joon Min's afternoon nap, Jimin hadn't returned. Y/N urged Joon Min to sleep but probably because he didn't want to leave so he kept on nagging and asked Y/N to accompany him to sleep.

Y/N leaned on the bed and read him stories until he fell asleep.

Jimin looked at them, they were sleeping. He came over and covered them with a blanket. When he went to the living room, he noticed a pile of clothes and toys on the carpet. It was clear, those were for Joon Min.

He lit a cigarette and leaned on the sofa.

Actually, Y/N knew Jimin covered them both. She got up and went to the living room.

Jimin could sense her presence behind him, he didn't turn his head. "What are you doing here?"

"I want to see Joonie." She answered. "When will you guys go?"

Jimin stared at her but didn't answer. "I went to see Jeon Jungkook."

Y/N pursed her lips: "Why?"

"To ask him whether you two are together..." Jimin said. "Can you guess what he said?" He chuckled. "Jeon Jungkook said yes."

Y/N gazed at him and said nothing.

"Y/N, won't you regret it?"

She shook her head. "No."

"Okay." Jimin paused. "You can go now."

"Where will you take Joonie?" Y/N asked. "I promised him that I will call him everyday, so..."
