Hello everybody! So just a warning...this is gonna be really long haha. I didn't know how invested in this prompt I was going to be. It'll be in two parts...maybe three! I hope you love it!
******************
Namjoon hated the bus. It was crowded and too uncomfortable. He recently had to start taking the bus to work, as his bike got run over by a van. He would drive, but his father told him for the safety of everybody else, he should not get his driver's license.
He definitely looked out of place with his grey suit, and blond hair slicked back. He would ask his best friend to drive him but that would be more inconvenient for him. He was going to listen to his music but realised he forgot his headphones. Brilliant. He watched the world go by, lost in his own world as he thought about his upcoming project.
"Wait!" Namjoon heard a male screech, running after the bus which quickly halted, throwing Namjoon forward.
"T-thank you so much!" The male gratefully bowed, completely out of breath. He had two little children, no older than four clinging to his legs, and a baby strapped to his chest. He was busy carrying a suitcase and two baby bags.
"Hurry up!" An old woman screamed at him, he quickly bowed with an apology and made his way to the only seat available. The one in front of Namjoon. He let out a massive sigh as he made sure the two children were comfortable.
"Daddy? Can we have pancakes for dinner?" A child with a boxy grin asked.
"No Taehyung, that's not dinner food"
"Aw. What about dinosaur nuggets?"
"Hm, if you're good today then we can have that"
"Hear that Jiminie? Dino nuggets!" Taehyung gently poked his brother, who was busy fiddling with his shirt.
"If you're well-behaved" The father corrects.
"When does Kookie get to eat Dino nuggets?"
"He's just started teething, so hopefully in a few weeks"
Without any warning, the baby started to cry, tiny fists slowly whacking his father. His face was completely red.
"Oh no Kookie, are your teeth hurting?" The father asks gently, quickly looking through his bag. Namjoon thought the name Kookie was an odd choice for a name.
"Shit I forgot his dummy"
"You said a bad word Daddy" the quiet boy named Jimin mumbles.
"I know, I'm sorry"
The old man behind Namjoon began to groan in annoyance as Kookie continued to cry.
"Kookie please...it's okay" The father tries his best to soothe the baby.
"Maybe Kookie wants to play with us!" Jimin said, he stood up and tried to grab his brother's hand
Whack!
"Oh Jiminie, it's okay don't-"
The boy burst out into loud sobs, and feeling excluded the last child decided to cry alongside his brothers. Namjoon watched in complete awe, children are indeed strange.
"I'm sorry!" The father yells out to everybody who is staring at him with judgemental eyes. Namjoon noticed the other male tried to shrink in his chair to appear smaller, doing his very best to handle all three crying children.
"It's okay Jimin, Jungkook didn't mean to whack you. Taehyung you don't need to cry with them-"
"-but it hurt!" Jimin sniffled.
"And if he's hurt, I'm hurt!" Taehyung exclaimed, cuddling Jimin who snuggled into him.
"I know it hurts, let me see it"
Jimin showed him his cheek, he gently placed a small kiss on it.
"Better?"
"All better!" Jimin stopped crying, meaning Taehyung also stopped crying. With both of them no longer crying, the father focused his attention on his teething baby.
"God he's incompetent"
"Where's their mother?"
"Pathetic really"
The father looked down in shame, bouncing the baby in his arms trying to calm him down.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry" he continuously apologised to his baby, kissing the top of his head. Namjoon felt bad for the other male, whilst everyone else was quick to judge him, Namjoon could see how hard he was trying. He had three kids all on his own, he couldn't control the baby's teething, it was a normal part of life.
