Just Like Heaven - A HopeKook FF

33

Jungkook barely stepped inside his home when Hoseok rushed to him and planted a kiss on his lips and a hug that squeezed the air out of him.

"Kookie, I missed you so much! How was your conference?"

"It was boring". Jungkook smiled softly at his husband.

"Where's our baby Tae?"

"Oh, um, there's something I need to tell you."

"What? What is it?" Jungkook felt a surge of anxiety.

"Why don't you go freshen up first, okay? Then we'll talk."

"No way...", Jungkook narrowed his eyes at Hoseok who looked like he was hiding a huge secret.

"Is something wrong, kookie? Are you sick?" Hoseok touched Jungkook's forehead but it was normal.

"I'm fine but I have a bad feeling about this. What are you hiding from me, hobi?"

"I'm not hiding anything, I promise. Just go freshen up and come back."

"Fine..." Jungkook sighed and headed to his bedroom.

As he came back to the living room, he saw Jin sitting next to Hoseok with a smug grin on his face.

"Oh what fresh hell is this?", he muttered under his breath. Jin and Hoseok together always meant trouble.

"Kookie, come sit with us", Hoseok said gesturing to the couch. Jungkook shook his head and sat on a chair opposite them, glaring at Jin.

"What's going on, hobi?"

Hoseok took a deep breath. "Okay...I want to start working again", he blurted out making Jungkook gasp and stare at him incredulously. He looked back and forth between Jin and Hoseok. "What's the catch?"

"There's no catch! Nothing. It's just...", Hoseok said nervously.

"Just what? Last week before I left, you were so attached to our son that you wouldn't let him out of your sight and now you suddenly want to work? What changed?", Jungkook asked his husband but his eyes were accusing Jin.

Hoseok swallowed hard. "Okay, please don't freak out, okay. A few days ago, we met Enwoo and Tae really hit it off with him. He was so sweet to him. He had just come back from his hometown, his grandmother had died and he was looking for a job. And Tae really adored him. So we thought..."

"We? Who's we?", Jungkook asked, his eyes piercing at Jin who looked away nervously.

"Jin hyung and I...we thought it was time for me to start working again...I mean Tae will be going to kindergarten soon, then school, college...I just wanted to help out."

"Help out? Help out with what?", Jungkook asked incredulously.

"With the expenses, kookie. With the future. With our dreams", Hoseok said earnestly.

"Dreams? What dreams? Our dream was to have a family. To raise our son together. To be happy. And now you want to throw that away because this one talked to you?", Jungkook asked angrily.

"Hey", Jin grumbled.

"Kook, he is not wrong. And Enwoo he is good with Tae. He can take care of him while I'm at work", Hoseok said defensively.

"Work? What work? What kind of work are you talking about?", Jungkook asked suspiciously.

"I'm talking about my old job, kookie. The one I left to be a stay-at-home dad. The one I loved and was good at."
