Between The Bloodshed

Chapter 17

OOF!

"Oww!"Jisung rubbed his head as he fell back onto his butt. He blinked, looking up at the two suited males before him. They bent down, lowering themselves close to the eye level of this mysterious child.

"Who are you?" Jin raised an eyebrow.

"Um, who are you?" Jisung asked back. Before Jin could say anything, Jisung stood up, running to find you. You let out a sigh of relief when you heard Jisung, calling out to you. He quickly ran and hid behind you. You turned around, bending down to see what got him all scared.

"Aegi ah, I told you to wait for me in the garden. Where did you run off to?" You asked him softly.

"I was looking for you." He put his arm around your neck.

"What's wrong?" You stood up with him in your arms. That was when you saw the two stunned boys by the door. You chuckled, stroking Jisung's back and giving him a peck on the cheek.

"Don't worry, they're the boys gomo works for. They wouldn't dare harm you." You told him. Taehyung ran over.

"You must be Jisung! Hello, I'm Taehyung." He grinned. Jisung just looked away, refusing to even look at the elder. You laughed at Taehyung's crestfallen face, moving to sit on the couch.

"They're not scary, aegi. Come on, you should say hi." You encourage him. Taehyung and Jin sat a distance away so as to not overwhelm the toddler further. The last thing they wanted was to make him cry and endure the torture you put them through. Jisung finally pulled away from you, turning to look at the two adults, who gave him little waves and awkward smiles.

"I'm Jisung. My gomo is your family's doctor but you know that already." He introduced. You snorted at his introduction, patting his head.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jisung. I'm Jin."

"And I'm Taehyung." The two introduced themselves.

"You two don't look like you do business at all. How are you so rich?" Jisung tilted his head with a raise of an eyebrow. Jin's eyes widened slightly, definitely not expecting that.

"Well, we-"

"But I guess your house is decent." He gave an approving nod. You chuckled, nodding in agreement with him.

"Usually, gomo works for old people. Are you sick? Or are you all just really clumsy? Gomo, are they really clumsy people?" Jisung put his hands on his hips in almost a demanding manner before turning to you.

"Yeah, most definitely. Always getting hurt, the lot of them." You laughed. Taehyung sent you a glare.

"Come on, aegi ah. I told you I'll get you a cupcake, right?" You held your hand out to him. Jisung finally broke into a childlike grin, holding your hand and following you to the kitchen to get his cupcake. Meanwhile, Taehyung and Jin were still in the living room.

"He reminds me of someone..." Taehyung squinted.

"Who reminds you of someone?" Jungkook came in. He struggled to remove the cufflinks of his shirt.

"Here, Koo. Let me help you." You chuckled, seeing him struggle as you came out from the kitchen. You stepped away from Jisung, who was engrossed with his cupcake, to help the male.

"Thank you!" He grinned.

"I'm still not used to your grey hair." You ruffled his freshly dyed hair from yesterday. While out of the house, Jungkook decided it was time for a new look and went to dye his hair an ash grey, leaving the roots black.

"Jungkook, meet Jisung." Jin slung his arm around the maknae. Jisung's eyes trailed up to the new male for two seconds before going back to his treat.

"Gomo, help me?" Jisung held his cupcake up to you. You took the cupcake, peeling the paper off for him.
