Brothers Next Door | KookJin

🚪 #41

At a fine-dining steakhouse, the Kim's and the Jeon brothers were sitting in a quiet spot, just awkwardly staring at each other. They were already done with giving their orders, so they were left to just wait for their food.

However, nobody knew how to start the conversation- coming from shopping clothes at Zara and leaving Hobi with his questions.

So it was Hobi who broke the silence as he said, "Appa, we don't really need to eat at an expensive restaurant just so you could talk to me. It's okay. Did you think I'm going to throw a fit again?!"

"Huh- uhm, no honey. I already have this place in mind for us to dine at, coz all you guys had last night was convenience store food. So yeah... though this is a nice, quiet place for us to talk." Jin said.

Then Jin looked at Jungkook- who was still not uttering a word, so Jin just let out a deep breath before he continued, "Uhm, okay-- there's no point in beating around the bush. Hobi, honey- I'm pregnant for Kookie.

I- I've already told Chim when you went away from home. I thought it wasn't a good time telling you as well while you're staying here in Seoul alone. So, after everything that happened here, I completely forgot that I haven't told you yet. I- I'm so sorry, sweetie."

Jin then suddenly stopped talking, hoping to read the look on Hobi's face. But he couldn't really tell how his son was taking this news at all.

Then Hobi let out a sigh, "I understand, appa. I know it has not been really that easy talking to me about certain things. And I feel so sorry, now that I realized it's all because of my difficult attitude and me- forcing you to get back with dad constantly.

I've been selfish - so obviously, you would think that I won't understand or that I won't accept it if you ever tell me that you're dating or even pregnant for Jungkook-hyung.

I'm really sorry, appa. But-- but please know that I'm all okay now with you two dating, or now- even having a baby already."

"R-really?!" It was Jungkook who asked this.

"Yes. But only if you promise that you'll be good to my appa." Hobi let out a small smile as he stared at Jungkook. "Uhm, no, actually-- it's not right to ask you to make a promise.

Let me just ask this as a favor - please.. just please make my appa happy. It's something that's long overdue coz he needed to raise us. So that's all I want for him right n-now."

Hobi was already blushing red and teary as he spoke, so Jin quickly moved near him and pulled him in for a hug, "Aww honey.. thank you for that. But please know that I was happy- I am happy raising you and your brother. So it wasn't something that I needed to do - I wanted to do it. Coz you two are my happiness."

Jungkook already decided to talk too, he said in his serious voice, "Hobi, you don't really have to ask me anything for a favor. Because I will do it, regardless. I'm so sorry that you had to find out about me and Jin that way, and even now- like this, about the baby.

But I am hopeful that we'll have a better relationship soon. I will do anything to achieve that. That's how much I love your appa."

Hobi stared at Jungkook's eyes intently, then he wiped his own tears and smiled, "Okay. I believe that you do love him. Actually, I think I already believed that a long time ago, but had a hard time accepting it.

Well, thank you, Jungkook-hyung. And I'm sorry again for everything I've said and done to disrespect you.

Also to you, appa. I'm really sorry.. I-- I hope you know that I love you, a-appa."

"Oh, sweetheart, I love y-you." Jin already had his tears falling down his cheeks as he said this.

Jimin, who was also teary-eyed already, quickly joined their hug and said, "Heyy, I love you more! I love you both very much! I am so happy!!"
