Song for this chapter:

Daddy issues, The Neighborhood 

jisung had been here before. with his father. for a show. that day was terrifying. it was one of the first times he had been out with his father for work. 'JISUNG! SMILE! LOOK OVER HERE! HERE! OVER HERE! LOOK HERE! SMILE HERE! JISUNG! HAN JISUNG, SMILE!' he stared back at the cameras with fearful, tear ridden eyes. 'appa.. appa, please, my head hurts..' his father just pinched his side and shushed him.  

It had been three hours and Mr han was keeping up the act. Giving Jisung piggybacks, buying him ice cream and wiping it off his chin, he even played games with his son, racing down the pavement and finally at sunset sitting on a patch of grass to watch the pink and orange sky. 'Appa, I love you.' 'Shut up, jisung. I didn't even want to have you. Love me all you want but just know. From now till you die, you'll never be my son.' He said it with a smile on his face while his 8year old sons heart shattered. 'Y-you don't love me..?' 'No.' 

'Jisung, look!' Minho tapped the boys knee, pointing at the water. 'It's so pretty in the morning,' oh. I should tell him. 'Jisung? Are you crying?' In a second, Minhos hands made quick work of the steering wheel, pulling over onto the side of the road. Without hesitation, he jumped out of the car and walked to the other side, opening the door and hugging jisung so tight they could feel eachothers heartbeats. 'Shhh, It's okay,' Minho stroked the boys hair with utter softness and care. 'You can cry, get it all out, it's okay,' with those words, jisung hugged the boy even tighter. He'd always been told to stop crying. 'Don't hold it in, that's gonna feel really bad.' Minho ushered into his ear. 'I'm sorry'  jisung whispered, knowing if he spoke any louder his voice would break. 'I thought I would be okay. I didn't want to ruin this for you.'

'No, no Jisung, please never force yourself. Not even for me,' Minho held jisung far enough to let him see the genuine smile on his face. 'I came for you, because I care about you, I don't want you to feel bad. I never want you to be uncomfortable or upset around me, I'll do anything anything just to make you happy, Jisung. You don't even have to tell me why, just say the words and I'll be there with whatever you need.' Jisung pulled the older back in. 'Can we go home?' He whispered into Minhos chest. 'Right away.'

Within a few minutes of driving against the speeding limit, they were back at the complex. Thai was already there, ready to take the car and park it so the two could go up immediately. 

With jisung in his arms again,  Minho stood in the elevator, smiling at the boy. 'I'm sorry again. You sounded exited to go.' Jisung mumbled.

'I was exited to take you. I've been so many times but never once with you.'

'This is weird. Having someone care about  me. It's nice but it'll take some getting used to.'

'Then I hope I'll be the one you get used to.'
