My You || JJK

56.

Sarang was watching television while sitting on the couch and Jungkook continued to stare at her. Hana was seated beside Sarang; her face was placed on her mother's chest and her tiny body rested by Sarang's side. As they watched the cartoon, Sarang lovingly stroked Hana's head.

With a pout on his face, Jungkook sat on the floor and glanced at Sarang and Hana simultaneously. Everyone at Sarang's house greeted him joyfully when he arrived five minutes ago, with the exception of the two whose attention he was hankering for.

"Sarang? Please talk with me once." While gingerly pleading, Jungkook put his hand on Sarang's right hand, which was resting on her lap.  

Cutely speaking to her kid, Sarang said, "Doll, tell Appa that we aren't talking with him." Hana gave her mother a short glance while cutely blinking her doe eyes, and then she nodded.

Hana tried her best to glare at Jungkook as she narrowed her eyes. Her lips puckered into a pout, and her cheeks puffed out cutely. "Mumma and Hana not talking. You go! We stay here." She cried out aggressively, slipping out of her mother's arms and scooting forward. She pushed her father after pressing his chest with her tiny hands. "Go, go!"

Jungkook felt like crying. Hana undoubtedly behaved bratty, just like other kids her age. But every time Jungkook explained something, she understood it. She listened to him and gave him a chance. In short, she believed every lie her father had told him in the past like the innocent girl she was.

Sarang's mom, dad and Jimin hid behind a wall and observed everything. They were trying to conceal their bodies as their heads were resting on each other. They were waiting for the couple to make up.

In a flash, Jungkook took out the box from the paper bag, opened it, and set it on Sarang's lap. Then, he took her right hand in his warm hands as he gave her a tender look. He was happy that she didn't make an effort to fight him. She may have been glaring at him, but she made no attempt to avert her eyes from him.

"Sweetheart, I'm sorry! I made a mistake by neglecting our daughter. But I promise you, none of it was intentional. I'm still trying to be a better dad. And I want to try and be the best partner for you. Would you like to date me officially? I would love to fight with you but make up after some minutes, not for our daughter but because we love each other and we can't stay mad for a long time. Let us cuddle and get rid of all the tiredness after a long day and begin a new day with hugs and kisses before going to work. Let us make my house our home. Let us make new memories together and dream of our happily ever after together. This necklace here is my promise; to love you more with every passing day, to become a better partner for you every day, to keep you happy and to change all my habits that you hate. Please come back home and shift in my room. My home seems incomplete without you, just like my heart. Please complete me and my family, Sarang. I have fallen in love with you, not because of our daughter but because my heart beats for you whenever you are around me. Would you like to date me officially? Please say yes."

While he was speaking his heart out, Jungkook was oblivious that his eyes had started to water. It appeared like he had poured all the raw feelings from the inner core of his heart in Sarang's lap. 

Sarang's eyes were also streaming with tears. She was a young girl, who believed in fairytales and happily ever after. She might have accepted Hana because she couldn't bear to think of the little girl suffering. 

Whatever she did for Hana during this stretch of time, none of it was to impress Jungkook or win his heart. Her one nice deed, however, earned her a loyal and sincere lover. She never believed his life would throw such happy surprises at her, where she would get a handsome man as her partner and a cute daughter too.

After wiping away her tears, she set the box down on the couch and knelt down in front of Jungkook. She placed her hands on Jungkook's shoulders and planted her lips on his. She didn't move her lips, and Jungkook didn't either.

Sarang was instantly placed on Jungkook's lap as he quickly pulled her by the waist. The petite girl complied when he gently moved his lips. Jungkook soon nipped Sarang's bottom lip, causing Sarang to hiss. The couple were unaware of Hana's gaze that was fixed on them from afar.

When Jungkook began proposing Sarang, Jimin quickly motioned Hana to run to him. She shook her head with a pout, but when Jimin showed the doll, which was her absolute favourite, the girl sprinted over to her meanie uncle, who was holding the doll firmly in his arms and waving it. She snatched the doll furiously and was about to run back, but Jimin caught her and restrained her by holding her in his arms.

She continued to play with her doll while placing her head on Jimin's shoulder. But when she heard her mother hissing in agony, she wriggled her body for Jimin to let her down. Once she was free, she threw her doll and ran with her little feet, detaching the couple's bodies.

"Appa bad... Appa meanie... Appa bite mumma." As she said that, she pulled her mother from Jungkook's lap and made her sit on the ground before settling in her lap. She glanced at Sarang's face, examining every nook and corner properly. "Hurt?" She inquired cutely when she noticed her mother's swollen lower lip.

Hana brought her hand to her lip and carefully touched it. The gesture warmed Sarang's heart. She grinned as she kissed Hana's fingertips "No, baby! Your appa was apologising to me." She quietly explained.

Sarang was aware by now that Hana was biased toward her. Even though she met her just a month back, the girl had grown fond of her mother. Hana would always take Sarang's side and would fight with Jungkook. Though they loved her cute complaints and anger, her actions made Sarang feel loved.

Hana hugged her mother, wrapping her tiny arms around her neck. 

"Won't you fulfil your promise and put this beautiful necklace on me? I can only agree after you do that." Sarang said playfully, wiggling her brows as she gazed at Jungkook. She continued to caress Hana's back gently and chuckled when Jungkook's eyes widened.

Jungkook quickly got on his knees, grabbed the box from the couch and pulled out the necklace. He put it on Sarang and then pecked her forehead when Sarang mumbled a small "yes." After that, he pecked Hana's head too. 

And that was when he realised that Sarang was going to be his first priority from now onwards. If he was the Jungkook from the past, he would have kissed Hana first and then Sarang. But the way he kissed Sarang first made him sure that he indeed fell in love with her. He wasn't sure when, but he did. 

30th October was officially marked as the first day of their dating, and the two of them were looking forward to spending their days as a couple, just like we all are.
