29th Chapter

MINGYU's POV

The kids and Wonwoo are in my house now because they wanted to see Jake. It was Taehyung hyung's now 2 month old baby.

"Daddy! where is Jake?" it was Kwannie pouting because the baby is nowhere to be found when they arrived.

"Maybe he is still sleeping" Chan said, this made Kwan pout even more. Wonwoo chuckled with Kwan's expression.

"The baby needs to sleep for it to grown faster baby, don't you want him to grow big like you soon?" Wonwoo in his gentlest voice is really an angel incarnate. The more we spend time together, the more I fall in love.

With all the things I have done wrong in my life, I know loving him is probably one of the only things that is right.

"Sorry for waiting" that was Taehyung hyung's voice as he walked down the stairs carrying Jake. Kwannie's eyes sparkled in excitement.

Hyung placed Jake in a small crib so all the kids can see him. My children are now sitting beside that crib watching the infant in awe.

"His hands are so small" it was Chan

"His feet too" Kwan said with a giggle.

"Of course he is, he is a baby, we are like that once too" San said which made the adults laugh.

"You are annoying San, you are too smart you spoil the fun" Chan said rolling his eyes at his brother, San did a mocking face to annoy him more.

Thinking about it, San really acts like an adult sometimes and is too smart. I guess the lack of presence in their lives automatically made him mature. As if he felt the need to support everyone in the family because no one would.
I kind of feel proud but sad at the same time, I wish I could make him feel secured, that daddy is here now, he can be a kid again, play more, fool around more and be more happy.

"You three always argue but then you always stick together" Wonwoo said teasing the three.

"I love them even when they are childish" San said which made Kwan furrow his brows.

"I am not childish!" he said in another cute pout.

"You still can't sleep without my melody beside you Kwannie" Chan said laughing and Kwan pinched him on the side of his stomach.

"You are annoying!" Kwan is about to cry but halted when Jake made a really small sound.

"Oh wow! was he talking to us" Kwan said in fascination.

"Hello baby I am your Kwan hyung we will play a lot in the future." he is trying to put his nose closer to his. How cute to see my kids being so fond of a smaller baby. It made me imagine some things I shouldn't but I couldn't contain myself so I looked at Wonwoo with a mischievous smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that Mr. Kim?" Oh God, he is so sexy when he is annoyed.

"No-nothing" I stuttered, "our kids just looked so happy with a little one so I was thinking—"

"Don't finish what ever you are about to say! You are not touching me until you put a ring on this finger!" Oh, okay, noted! He gave me an idea, I am an idiot for not thinking about that this time. Don't worry Wonwoo, this time I will give you everything you deserve.

"I am happy" Taehyung hyung suddenly started speaking. "My son is gonna grow with loving cousins. Even when he did not know who his daddy is, I know he is gonna be full of love." he gave a faint smile.

"Hyung..." I paused and looked at him before I ask him a question. "What will you do if Jake's father suddenly comes into our doorstep, wanting to be back in your lives?" he tilted his head and had slightly knitted brows.

"I don't think the dead comes back to life Mingyu" he chuckled softly but with a hint of bitterness.

"What if he isn't dead? What if he was alive all along?" My hyung's eyes widened.

"Then why isn't he here Mingyu? If he really was why did he let me go through all those pain alone? I was looking for him everyday especially when I was pregnant, I crave his touch, I miss his voice. If he was alive where is he?" and just then, Jungkook walked slowly towards us looking like a wet chick. This is the first time I have seen him so small. It looked like all his regrets and guilt devoured him he lost all the confidence he had.

My hyung looked like he had seen a ghost, he looked pale and he looked like he froze.

"JK?" Jungkook slowly nodded his head, my Hyung started bawling his eyes out.

"What happened to you?" my brother's hands were shaking as he was trying to hold his face. I can actually see how much he missed this asshole.

"Hyung, I think it's better if you talk upstairs" and with that the two went to my hyung's room to talk more privately.

JUNGKOOK's POV

This is my moment of truth. No one can describe the anxiety I am feeling at the moment. It's weird, I told myself that I am gonna be okay, I will accept no matter what his decision is because Mingyu's words made me realise that only Tae can make the decision. He is right, at this point, I lost all the right to decide. So now I will just spill it all out, tell him the truth and accept my fate.

"Tae" I called him with my softest voice and gave him a faint smile.

"I am sorry" are the first words that came out of my mouth.

"What are you sorry for?" tears continuously flowed from his eyes.

"Everything" I said, he cried more, how I wish I could touch him and calm him but I don't have any right. These dirty hands do not deserve him.

"I lied to you, used you, hurt you, there was a long list of things I should be sorry for." I kneeled in front of him and looked down.

"Our meet up in Paris, me showing an interest in you, taking you out on dates, all of those are planned." I heard him gasp.

"Wonwoo's father, who is also your real father wanted to take revenge on Mingyu for ruining Wonwoo's life and that was where we all started." I can hear his heavy breathing but he doesn't speak so I assumed it was his way of telling me to just keep on speaking.

"The fire on your store, getting you pregnant, it was all a part of that plan"

"Jimin" he whimpered his best friend's name who died in the fire.

"Why did I have to pay for something I didn't do?" his voice cracked. My heart broke along with it too. I know he is in so much pain right now but he is just too kind, Tae never gets mad.

"Tae, I just want you to know that yes, we started as a mistake but falling in love with you was not, I really did love you"

"Then why did you still continue" he sounded more serious now. "If you fell in love with me why did you still have to hurt me." He was right, in the end, I still chose my mission over him. I have no right talking about love.

"I don't want to see you ever again" he said, my world shattered upon his words. I made a really deep breath, holding my tears. This is what I deserve right?

"If that is what you wish Tae, I will give it to you" I said as I left with clenched fist and biting my lips.

I didn't greet anyone on my way out, I went straight to my car and smashed the stirring wheel.

"Why are you crying now Jungkook? This is what you deserve you idiot!" It seems like the days of preparation for this confrontation went to nothing. The words of rejection which I was already expecting was different when I heard it directly from his mouth.

But then again, I have to respect him.

As promised I will just continue loving you from afar. I will watch you and our child grow, everyday. I will protect you in every way possible. I will still be a father, but my child will never know about me. This is my fate, this is the path that I chose, the consequences of my decisions. I am now accepting it with all my heart.
