♡ Awaiting Love ♡

Chapter 15

*Pops and Jungkook were discussing things and talking when the sudden knock at the door got their attention. They frowned because the twins and Jeon Sang-Hee just left 20 minutes ago*

Jeon Hwan: "May we come in?"
*But when they heard the familiar voice of Jeon Hwan, they got alert when they saw Y/n standing beside her Appa with a nervous look on her face*

Patrick: "Hwan"

Jeon Hwan: "Patrick"

Patrick: " You have come under the guise of your daughter for asking for forgiveness"
*Jeon Hwan looked down with a lazy smile as he meet pops accusing orbs with his teasing ones*

Jeon Hwan: "I thought you have already established that we are selfish"

Patrick: "Youuu-"

Jungkook: "Pops"
*Jungkook warned Pops to hold himself from pouncing Jeon Hwan when he saw alarm in Y/n's eyes. Pops huffed in annoyance as he eyed the man who was amused with their interaction. Pops mumbled under his breath as he leaned back but his eyes fixed on Jeon Hwan*

Patrick: "Fine... Be patient, Alam, it's not the son's uncle who has come, but the daughter-in-law's father... Be patient"

Jeon Hwan: "Y/n, take this"
*Shaking his head at pops antics, he forwarded the tray to Y/n who hesitantly hold it and went towards Jungkook*

Y/n: " Yes Appa"
*Placing the tray on the nightstand, she picked the small table that Jeon Sang-Hee arranged for Jungkook's assistance. Carefully under the focused gazes of their fathers Y/n placed the tray on the table. Jungkook looked at her confused because he knew she didn't make this, something told him that she didn't. And his doubt was confirmed when she shrugged his questioning gaze off. Pops moved his eyes away from the it and then snapped at Jeon Hwan who just turned around to
look at him blankly*

Patrick: "If you made it, then take it back, Hwan. I can take care of him"

Jeon Hwan: I am just the delivery guy... And by the look on his face, I think he already knows who made it"
*His words confused pops for a moment but then his eyes moved towards Jungkook who was still at his place as he picked up the napkin and something dropped on the tray.
Something that he didn't expect, the small note with a big "Sorry" was not what got his attention. It was the two pieces of his favorite caramel toffees that crushed his heart. Looking at the soup, the note, and the toffees before moving his eyes towards Y/n who blinked once to confirm his doubts*

*He knew who made it, and he can't believe his eyes. It brings back memories for him, happy but painful. His mind wanders off to the times when young Adam and Hanbin used to pester their mothers to make his favorite soup and teach them whenever
he got sick or when he got scolded for them. Jungkook was always their shield, their protection and support from the scolding and disciplining and they always used to spoil their elder brother with such small but kind gestures, when they used to offer their share of toffees to him as gratitude and appreciation*

*He knew this means they were guilty of what they did and what he lost. But he can't bring himself to gulp down the tears that almost pushed his control. Jeon Hwan felt bad as he looked at Jungkook who
paralyzed with shock and nostalgia. He can feel the pain, misery, and torment in his bones, and so did everyone present in that room. Turning towards pops, he stared at the man who fulfilled the role of father and supporter even when he has no relationship with their son but became more than what blood makes humans*

Jeon Hwan: "And I know you can take care of him, I just want to discuss something"

Patrick: "The point was to discuss that you have come to or  remove the burden from your heart"

Jeon Hwan: "A little bit of both"
*Pops scoffed hard at that carefree admission because he knew he can't punch him in front of Y/n*

Patrick: "Selfish rascals"
