Chasing You..

Ch-20 Closeness...

Jungkook's pov

As I thought, the following day at work was me being patted on the back for a job well done. I actually took it a lot better than I normally would, probably because I was in the best mood ever. I had even woken up with a smile on my face all because I had the most amazing man in the world, and his little boy seemed to like me.

Now all we had to do was get him to meet me a few more times and then we'd be able to break it to him that we were more than just friends. Haneul was going to his dad's this weekend, and I was making the most of the private time for sure. It had taken me pulling a few strings to enable me to get a reservation at the restaurant, but Taehyung was worth it.

At just after four, I was in the cafeteria with the boys. We'd just got back from a call out but the other snipers and I were just there for backup today, no actual action. As I plucked my phone from my pocket, I noticed a text from Tae sitting there, received just before lunch. I couldn't stop the stupid smile that stretched across my face.

Rowon noticed straight away. "What's up with you, Jeon? Got some porn on your phone or something?" he joked, laughing.

I shrugged. "Nah, not today. It's just a text from Tae," I replied, sipping my coffee as I opened the message.

'Kook, I'm so sorry, but I can't make it tonight. Seojoon has let me down again. Talk to you later. Sorry x'

I frowned at the thought of not being able to see him. Fucking Seojoon! Now I couldn't see him tonight, and possibly the whole weekend. Well, unless he let me go over and spend time with him and Han again.

"Not a good text? Did he dump your ass when he found out how many people you've slept with?" Rowon teased, punching me in the arm lightly.

"His kid's dad let him down again. I can't take him out tonight," I grumbled. I was so pissed off that I literally wanted to go find this Seojoon guy and punch him in his sorry face.

"You really like this boy, huh?"

I sighed and debated what to do. "Yeah, he's incredible. I met his kid last night; he's great too." I pulled up his number on my cell. I didn't want to come across as a needy prick, but I really wanted to see him. I looked up to Rowon for his advice. He was a wise man, he was married, he'd know about men and women... "Ro, do you think it'd be coming on too strong if I asked to see him tonight, with his kid? I don't want to put too much pressure on him or anything."

He frowned, obviously thinking about it. "I think that he'd like that you're making an effort with his child. How you interact with his son is what he would base the relationship on more than anything else. For you, it's probably looks and sex. For him, he's looking at what type of dad you'd be to his child." He shrugged, looking at me apologetically.

I flinched at the word 'Dad', I was only just coming to terms with the fact that I might be 'Uncle Kookie'.

I decided to give him a call and sound him out a little. The other guys at the table were watching me, making me feel a little self-conscious. "Good afternoon, hottie boyfriend," I greeted when he answered, trying not to laugh at the ridiculous feelings that were rushing through my body. How had I let this little man put his spell on me like this? Me, Jeon Jungkook, the player who didn't want to settle down, was completely and utterly at this boy's mercy. He had me hanging around, wanting to spend time with him and his son, and I wasn't even getting my dick wet. This was a serious first for me!

"Hey, did you get my text? I'm really sorry, but I can't make it tonight. Seojoon is working so he can't have Han. I've called my sister but she's busy. The sitter that someone recommended is already on another job tonight. Jimin is out with Yoongi hyung for date night. My parents are two hours on a train away, and my usual babysitter has dinner plans with her new boyfriend. I've tried every one, but I can't find anyone to watch Han," he said apologetically, taking a big breath at the end where he has spoken so fast.
