The CEO's Moon

Chapter Seventeen

One week later...

Taehyung's POV

I walked to Jaehyun's room and knocked on his door. "Let's go, son. Your Appa is waiting for you", I called from the door.

A soft "I'll be there, dad. Just a minute. " is heard from the inside. While waiting for him, I checked myself in the mirror in the hallway. I wore a black leather jacket over a tiger printed shirt and a pair of black jeans. Half a minute later, the door opened and my son came out, clad in a blue shirt and beige shorts. He has a backpack slung over his shoulders.

"Ready?", I asked him smiling. He hummed in response. I ruffled his hair, earning a soft whine from him for messing with his well-combed hair. I chuckled as he combed his hair with his hands back to its original style.

We went down the stairs together and put on our shoes.  After informing Aunt Mina that we will go out, Jae and I headed to the main door and down to the driveway where Mr. Yun is waiting with the car. 

"I will drive today, Mr. Yun.  You can have the weekend off. I will just see you on Monday."

Although the driver was taken aback, he composed himself. "Are  you sure, Sir Taehyung? You will get tired."

"We will be fine." I smiled. He handed the key nonetheless after bowing and  thanking me and stood back as I took a round on the driver seat to start the engine. Jaehyun has settled beside me with the seatbelt on, all focused on the new tablet I bought for him because he got bored with the old one. Glancing at him, he was busy going through his list of games, but sensing my gaze, he looked up. "Something wrong, Dad?"

I shook my head and just asked if he's ready to go. He nodded and focused back on his tablet. I sighed as I drove the car out to the main gate to the day we are about to set out to.

Today's the day my son and Jin will spend time together for the first time. As promised, I allowed Jin to bond with our son. Three days ago, Jin texted me if he can come see me in my office. I told him to come and instructed Jiyoung to let Jin into my office. When he arrived, Jin and I talked about how he's gonna spend his weekend with Jaehyun.

It's a Saturday and Jin decided to watch our son's soccer practice. After that, he intend to bring Jaehyun to an arcade so they could play some games. Jin even invited me to come with them but I have to decline because I wanted it to be their alone time. The night before, I sent a car to Jin's apartment so he can drive Jaehyun to where they intended to go. Jin actually refused when he texted me saying he would just rent a vehicle and asked me to send the car back. But after convincing him that it is for their safety and convenience, he defeatedly agreed.  I wouldn't put both my husband and son into inconvenience. Was I beginning to soften towards Jin? Not really. But I wanted him to be with my son. I want them to catch up with their lost times. And because I promised him a week ago in exchange for helping out in the meeting.

I  drove to the location and few minutes later, we arrived at the school grounds. I saw Jin standing in the car I lent him,  waiting for us. As soon as the car stopped, Jin approached in a distance, waiting for us to come out. We alighted from the car and I noticed Jaehyun was fidgeting in the strap of his backpack. He must be nervous as this was his first time to be with his other father. Jin too seems to be anxious because his feet keep shifting. I wrapped my arms around my son to calm him down. "Relax, son", I smiled at him. He nodded and we approached my ex-husband.

"Tae", Jin's angelic voice greeted me. I felt something flip in my stomach hearing my ex-husband calling me in my nickname.

Jin turned to Jaehyun, "it's good to see you again, so- uhmm, Master Jaehyun." He stuttered a bit, hesitating to call Jaehyun "son", thus, opted for the formalities. He is also having second thoughts whether to hug Jaehyun or just let it be.
