REWRITE THE STAR

CHAPTER 21

Suddenly, the nursery doors burst open, and a young man rushed in. Both V and baby Hainie jumped at the sudden noise and looked toward the entrance.

Standing there was Kim Yugyeom, Taehyung and V’s younger brother.

As soon as Hainie saw Yugyeom, he let out a squeal of joy. He dropped the nipple of the bottle he was about to drink from and began crawling as fast as his little legs could carry him toward Yugyeom.

"Unkie!" he chirped happily...

This unexpected entry of his younger brother left V both shocked and deeply annoyed. His perfect plan was being interrupted by the one person he hadn't accounted for.

"Is this my Hainie baby?" Yugyeom exclaimed, scooping the child into his arms and spinning him around. "I missed you so much!"

V watched them, his irritation simmering just below the surface. He picked up the discarded bottle from the floor and walked toward them.

"What are you doing here?" V asked coldly.

"Well, this is my house too! Where else would I go?" Yugyeom replied with a pout.

V : "Weren't you supposed to be at Grandma’s place? Why are you back so early?"

Yugy : "It was so boring there, Hyung!" Yugyeom groaned. "I couldn't take it anymore. Plus, I missed my Hainie baby too much."

He blew a raspberry on the baby’s stomach, making Hainie giggle hysterically.

Yugy :  "See? I missed this sweet melody. I just packed my bags, said 'tata, bye-bye' to the grandparents, and rushed here."

V felt a surge of rage, but he forced himself to stay controlled...

V : "Hmm, good... anyway, here, Hainie. Drink your milk."

Yugyeom started laughing as he saw V holding the bottle.

Yugy : "Wait, what am I seeing? Is this really my cold-hearted brother being a sweetheart? Did you cast a magic spell on him, Hainie?"

The baby giggled and pointed a tiny finger at V.

"Dada... Dada..."

Yugyeom laughed and kissed the baby's cheek.

Yugy :  "Aish, he’s not your Dada, baby. This is your V Unkie.... Hyung, where are Taehyung-hyung and Kookie?"

A dark smirk flickered on V’s lips for a split second before he masked it...

V : "They went out on a date... and left the baby with me."

"Awww... such a romantic couple!" Yugyeom cooed. "So they made you the babysitter? Poor you. Well, it’s okay, I’m here now. I’ll take care of my little one."

"No need," V said, his voice dropping into a cold, sharp tone. "I can handle it."

"With that scary voice? You’ll frighten the poor kid!" Yugyeom teased. "Hyung, you aren't used to kids. I’ll take over. Right, baby? Let's play!"

"Give me the child," V demanded.

"Noooo! My Hainie baby!" Yugyeom hugged the child tight with a pout.

V was incredibly irritated, but a thought struck him.

'If I can just get him to feed the baby this milk, I can leave. Even if the child dies, no one will know I was the one behind it.'

V sighed, pretending to give in...

"Fine. You feed him this milk, then."

As V handed over the bottle, Yugyeom noticed the leather gloves. He raised an eyebrow.
