Chapter 21

Seokjin

With calm veins I reached up to an out of focus Namjoon. He seemed to be dozing off which leaves me worried to how well he's taking care of himself. He's been out of it and I didn't know how to address it. Especially with the knowledge that he gets irritated quite easily. Delicately, I caressed his head in between my hands. My eyes were gentle as I sent him a small smile in which he returned.

"What's wrong?" I asked calmly. With care I ran my fingers softly through his hair. This is how it had to be addressed, with collected actions that wouldn't bring too much burden onto him. I knew with wrong word choice Namjoon would quickly set off into a flame of rage. I didn't mind having to be careful with him, it was only in my nature to be able to handle these kinds of situations.

Namjoon sighed heavily before hesitantly answering, "I'm worried." He continued after I furrowed my brows in confusion. "Not only do I have to be a good Father, I have to be a good lover. I just, I'm scared I'll mess up."

I only chuckled before kissing him on the lips gently. "You have nothing to be worried about, you can do it. I know you can. You just have to put your mind to it."

Namjoon smiled and kissed me, a slow and passionate kiss. All I could feel was love. The love that I thought we had lost.

"You're right. C'mon, let's go see what Taehyung's up to."

With a last kiss we fled to Taehyung's bedroom, with the feeling of borderline happiness.
