Haunted By Innocence

Chapter 31

POV...

wanna do home

Mr. Kim's expression immediately softened at the younger's request to go home, and he reached over to gently brush his thumb over the younger's cheek, speaking softly

I know, sweetheart.. I know you want to go home.. I promise we will go back home soon, okay?.. just wait a little longer...
You just focus on getting better and stronger, and then we'll go home so you can relax and rest all you want, okay?..

Yoongi ate the whole carton in two days

Yoongi's family was amused and relieved to see the younger's appetite returning, even if it was just for tangerine in the moment. Mr. Kim laughed softly as he watched his youngest son wolf down his favorite fruit, the sight bringing a fond smile to his face as he spoke

Oh my, you must really love tangerine, darling.. you're eating it like it's going out of style..

Dada wanna trY

Mr. Kim smiled fondly at Yoongi's offer and nodded his head, taking one of the tangerine slices from the carton and popping it into his mouth, a satisfied expression spreading across his face as he tasted the sweet and tart flavor

Ah, mmm.. this is delicious, sweetheart. You're right, tangerine is really good..

He reached over to pat the younger's head affectionately, speaking softly

Mr. Kim chuckled softly as he looked around the room and saw how it was filled with Kumamon plushies, pictures, and other adorable items. It was obvious how much the family loved and cared for Yoongi, the room looking more like a child's room than a hospital room. Mr. Kim shook his head fondly as he reached over to pick up one of the Kumamon plushies, speaking softly

Ah, looks like we've spoiled our darling with this Kumamon room, hmm?..

Dada want new kumamon limited edition Sippy cup

Mr. Kim couldn't help but laugh softly at Yoongi's request, the younger's love for Kumamon never failing to amuse him. He reached over to gently pat the younger's head, speaking teasingly

Oh, you want a new Kumamon sippy cup, hmm? Do you want me to get you the limited edition one with the straw that changes colors when you drink from it?..

Yees yessss

Yoongi clapped his hands in excitement but winced out of pain

Mr. Kim's smile softened as he saw Yoongi wince in pain from the simple act of clapping his hands. His heart ached at the sight of his youngest son's pain, the older wanting nothing more than to protect and care for his son.

Don't clap too much, darling... you might hurt yourself.. just rest, okay?.. I will get you that new Kumamon sippy cup.. just wait a little longer..

Okay then get me tangerine edition kitty plushy

Mr. Kim chuckled softly at Yoongi's adorable request for a tangerine edition kitty plushy, the younger's love for Kumamon almost endearing in the midst of all the pain and suffering

Oh, a tangerine edition kitty plushy, hmm? Of course, I'll get it for you, sweetheart. Just rest and wait for me, okay?..

He reached over to gently pat Yoongi's head, speaking softly before turning away to leave the room in search of the kitten plushy

Mr. Kim couldn't help but feel frustrated and guilty at not being able to find the requested plushy anywhere, no matter how hard he searched. He had tried every market and store, but it seemed like the tangerine edition kitty plushy was nowhere to be found.. perhaps it was not released yet, or perhaps it was just sold out everywhere.. either way, his heart ached at the thought of returning to the hospital room empty handed with disappointing news for his youngest son..

But a man called him and told him that he can customise that plushy

Mr. Kim's face lit up with hope at the man's words, his expression immediately conveying his eagerness and gratitude

Oh, really? You can customize it? Please, I desperately need a tangerine edition kitty plushie.. my son's been asking for it..

His voice was full of hope and pleading, his mind fully focused on making sure that he could bring the kitty plushy back to his youngest son as promised..

You seem desperate Is he your only son
