Guilty Pleasure

Uncle - KSJ

You felt werid when he touched your shoulder. He patted them with worries on his face.

"Don't be worry y/n. I will take care of you from now on. For my brother" he said wiping his tears of from his cheek. His eyes are red and face is blushed by all those salty tears.

"Uncle" you begin cry with fear of future, the sorrow of losing your loved one, and worries of many things.

Your mother and father were diversed long way back, when you're in your five years. Your mother gave her Custody to your father. After that you are with your father. Now he is death by heart attack, when you're in your mid teen. You just begin your high school years, you never imagined your life will turn a Uturn here.

"You're safe with me child" seokjin caressed your head.

You could not process anything around you. The funeral went smooth, everyone gave you pitied looks and worried gazes. And get assured by your uncle.

Your uncle Kim seokjin, a single man. Your father's only brother just a year difference, partner with your father's business. He stays in his own apartment but, sleep over in your place four days in a week. You are close with both your father and uncle. But, being with him alone felt werid for some reason. And your father never let his brother stay alone with you. He always accompanied you both. Now without him everything felt werid. Everything felt scary.

You walked around your apartment with tears on eyes. His scent still filled in this space, his shadows feel like still here, his illusion called you from kitchen, his illusion waiting for you arrival at hall.

"Y/n" you jumped when a hand touched your shoulder.

"Uncle!" You suprised to see him.

"I thought you were packing" he blinked his eyes at you.

"Uncle can I stay here for few days?. I don't want move into yours, I like here more" he soften his gaze, as touching your cheek. You widen your eyes, he never touched you like this. It's definitely werid.

"I can't let you stay alone. How about I move in here?" He asked you. You shake your head to clear the overthinking. It's truma from losing a loved one. You reasoned.

"You will be uncomfortable"

"No. I'm not. My brother leave you with me. I can't let you stay alone" he repeated his words. You lowered your gaze. You want to comfort him too, he is your father's brother. He shared his meals more than you with his brother. So, it's unfair to let him suffer alone.

All you can do is, make him belive that he is not alone in this battle.

"It's okey uncle. I will move in your's" you went into your room pack for few days. Later, you can pack everything.

"You don't have to, If you're not sure" You jumped when you heared his voice very close to your ears. He grapped you waist from move away. "You're jumpy lately!?" He asked you with Husked voice.

"No. I..." you are not sure as well. He never physically get closer to you expect holding hands in crowds. Now he getting touchy and making you jump.

"Is it something wrong?" He turned you to face him. He leaned to get your eye level. His body invading in your personal space.

"I guess, I'm trumazied about my father's sudden death." You told as convincing yourself too while moving away from him to take a look inside your cupboard.
