―Christmas Day December 25, 2007
"Wow, it's a broom! A real grown-up broom!" Chan screamed and his hair shifted from bright blue to pink and back again of excitement. "Thank you, Jeongguk. Thank you." He threw his arms around his Godfather.
Jeongguk hugged him back. "Merry Christmas, Channie. Now, I can't take you flying on it." The boy pulled away and gave Jeongguk a sullen look, but Jeongguk continued. "I'm sorry, but I can't. I have no magic at the moment, but if you tell uncle Seokjin, that you've got the latest edition of the Nimbus X-series, I'm sure he'll be more than willing to help you try it." He squeezed the boy hard once more, then let him down to see him run out with a broom taller than himself in a tight grip.
It was Christmas morning and most of the children in the extended Ahn-Kim family were already out in the garden playing with their new toys.
"You're far too generous with that boy, Jeongguk. He could do very well with the broom you gave him two years ago." Ahn Yujin sipped her tea. He sat alone with her in the kitchen, grateful for a quiet moment after the booming chaos that Christmas breakfast at the Burrow always was. He had spent a long night talking to Namjoon and Seokjin and reconciling with Lisa, not that she'd admitted being wrong, but she spoke to him again and he was content with that.
"I've been too absent this year, I wanted to indulge him a little."
"So, the rumour's true then. You are expecting again?"
"Yes, if everything goes well, it'll be due late in August."
"And what about my nephew?"
"Yes, Taehyung is the other father."
Yujin gave a sly smile. "That's not what I asked, and you know it." She was a Slytherin and a Yang after all.
"I'm not sure," Jeongguk rubbed his eyes. "I'm not sure of anything anymore. I had such a clear image of how I wanted things to be, and now, everything has changed. It's like my life is spinning, totally out of my control."
"Life has a tendency of doing that. It's not necessary a bad thing."
"I like being with him," Jeongguk said tentatively.
"That's a start," Yujin mused.
"And I don't think I want to be an Auror anymore," he said very fast.
Yujin was silent.
"I know, I know, I shouldn't even be thinking that," Jeongguk said, holding his palms up in defence.
"Why on earth not, boy? Who says you have to do something you don't want to?"
Jeongguk kept his mouth shut and his hands clenched as fists.
"What would you like to do instead, then?" Yujin asked.
Jeongguk gave a short humorless laugh. "Apart from being a father, I have absolutely no idea."
"Well, if everything goes as it should, you'll have plenty of time to think this over. Don't for a minute believe that you owe anything to the Wizarding World. You've done more than enough already. Besides, I'm sure Taehyung could use some help. That boy is working himself to the bone, if you ask me."
"Taehyung? Kim Taehyung?"
"Yes, Taehyung. How many nephews with that name do you think I have?"
"I didn't know you saw him. You never said," Jeongguk muttered.
"You never asked. Of course, I see them. I decided to contact them right after the trials. Taehee has not been well and she's always been my favourite sister, after all. Not that she had that much of a competition," she chuckled dryly.
