I Hate You

#12

Jungkook glances around at the curious onlookers, then back at you. He takes your free hand in his, his touch gentle but insistent. "Let's talk somewhere private. Please. For Seungmin. For us." His eyes are filled with desperate hope and barely contained emotion.

"I--"

"Please." Jungkook begs softly. "I'm not asking for me,YN. I'm asking for our son. He deserves a chance to know his mother. And you deserve a chance to know him. To love him. To be loved by him."
Jungkook's face lights up with relief as you nod. He gently leads you to the back room, Seungmin still clinging to you. Once you're inside, he closes the door behind you and turns to face you, his heart pounding in his chest. "YN I-"
Jungkook takes a deep breath, steadying his nerves. "I love you. I never stopped. And I think... I think you still love me too. But more than that, Seungmin needs you. He needs his mother. And I need you too. We need you."

Seungmin looks up at you with wide, curious eyes. He reaches out, touching your face gently. "Mama." He says softly. Jungkook's eyes meet yours, hopeful. "He knows you. He needs you. We both do."

"b...but how...how can i. I gave him to you Jungkook"

Jungkook steps closer, taking your hands in his. "Move back to Korea. Live with me. Be our family. Seungmin deserves to grow up knowing his mother. And I deserve a second chance with you. Please, Tris. Please give us a chance."

The loneliness in your life ate you from inside. You missed them. You hate Jungkook but you can't deny the fact that you still have a soft spot for him. And as for Seungmin, he is your son. You tried to show the cruelty. You want to leave everything behind but can you? You can't. The mother inside you won't let you do this. You stayed quiet for a moment and finally agreed.

Jungkook's face breaks into a radiant smile as you agree. He pulls you into a hug, holding you tightly against his chest. Seungmin clings to you as well, his tiny arms wrapping around your neck. Jungkook holds you all close, his heart overflowing with joy and gratitude.

"...but only for Seungmin, not you."

Jungkook's smile falters slightly at your words, but he nods in understanding. "I know. And that's okay. Seungmin is what matters most." He pulls back a bit, looking into your eyes. "But Yn, I hope..."
Jungkook takes a shaky breath. "I hope that one day, you'll be able to love me again too. For me. But for now, this... you being here for Seungmin... it's enough. It's more than I dared to hope for." He squeezes your hand gently.

"I have to go to work." You removed your hand from his grip.

Jungkook nods, his face softening. "Of course. I'll take Seungmin and wait for you outside. When do you finish work?" He asks, his voice gentle. He takes Seungmin from your arms, the little boy protesting with a pout.

"in the evening. I've to prepare everything in this cafe as I'm not staying here." You pause for a moment "well you can leave Seungmin with me for now if u want..."

Jungkook hesitates for a moment before nodding. "Okay. If you're sure..." He places Seungmin back in your arms, the little boy instantly calming down and playing with your hair. Jungkook watches you both, his eyes filled with warmth.

Jungkook follows you out of the back room and into the café. He watches as you interact with the customers, your face lighting up with smiles. He can't help but feel a pang of jealousy, wishing those smiles were for him.

"Baby do you want to drink anything hm?" asked cutely which made him giggle seeing you.

Jungkook watches Seungmin babbling cutely and pointing at the colorful drinks on the counter. You pick him up and place him on the counter, letting him 'help' you make his drink. Jungkook's heart swells with love, both for Seungmin and for you.
