The Best Mistake: Unacceptable Reasons (Book 2)

2: Cheer Up

You both sat on the couch when you arrived home. Silence again. You want to cheer him up but you don't know how. You noticed the boxes on the other side of the room. You decided to ask him. It won't cheer him up but at least it might end the awkward silence.

"What are those?" You said pointing at the boxes.
He smiled. "Your clothes."
"MY WHAT?!"

He laughed at you. He got up and grabbed your hand. He gestured you to get up too. You did and he led you to the boxes. He knelt down to tear the tape off one of the boxes. He opened it to reveal the clothes you bought yesterday. You looked at the other boxes. There's at least 8 of them.

"Those are all..."
"Ne. All your clothes. Except for those two in the back. Those are for Holly." He said pointing at two other boxes you didn't notice.
"We would need new dressers for these!"
"Let's buy some tomorrow after our practice."
"Yah! You should also save money for the future you know. You already bought all these."
"I don't work for nothing." He said as you opened another box.
"These are not for pregnant women."
"Wear them after your pregnancy."
"You don't have to-"
"I want to."  He said turning to look at you.

He smirked and got up. He went to the two boxes he pointed earlier. He opened them. You followed him excitedly. You want to see the baby clothes. He was holding a pair of shoes when you finally got to sit beside him on the floor, knees touching. It's the same pair you saw him holding yesterday.

"These are all for a baby boy." You said taking two pieces of clothing from the box.
"Well, my parents want a grandson."
"And you? What do you want?"
"I just want Holly to be healthy. Also, I want..."

He sighed and had gone silent again. You stopped checking the clothes in the box to look at him. He's staring at you. A heartmelting smile slowly formed on his lips. He leaned close to you and cupped your cheek. You jerked a little when you heard his hand land on the floor next to you. You don't know if it's the silence or the proximity that made you so sensitive to such sound. You hear your heart beating fast too. You gulped as he got closer and closer. You closed your eyes anticipating the feeling of his lips on yours.

You waited for seconds but nothing happened so you opened your eyes again. He's staring at your lips as if he's trying to decide if he'll do it or not. His phone started ringing. It's probably Mina. You stood.

"Answer that call. I'm sure it's very important." You said before heading to the bedroom.
You peeked from the bedroom. He took his phone and answered the call. "Ne. Jamkkanman, Mina-ya."

He went out of the house and talked on the phone outside. You bit your lip and slapped yourself just strong enough to wake yourself up. Do you really think he likes you? A kiss? Not a chance. He has Mina. Why would he kiss you?

You decided to just lie down on the bed and wait for him there. You didn't realize you fell asleep until you woke up a couple of hours later. You opened your eyes and looked around. Yoongi is beside you, no pillows in between. You fell asleep in the middle of the bed so there's really no place for the pillows between the two of you.

He's staring at the ceiling. He sighed tiredly. He's thinking about something. He yawned. He looks so cute you ended up giggling. He looked at you when he heard you giggling. You immediately stopped and covered your mouth.

"When did you wake up?" He asked you.
"Just now."
"Go back to sleep."
"I sleep when you sleep." You said making him raise an eyebrow.
"Why are you so stubborn?"
"Why are you still awake?"
He looked at the ceiling again and sighed. "I'm just...worried."
"About what?!"
"Will I be a good father? I'm not doing well in BTS. I haven't written any song again yet. If I'm failing at what I do best, I don't think I can do well as a father."
"Why are we talking about this again? You'll be a good father. You're doing great so far you know." That made him smile.
"You think so?"
"Yes. And, I'm sure you'll be able to write a new song. Don't pressure yourself too much. You're doing just fine. You should anyway or mother hen will scold you again." You said making him laugh.

You laughed with him. The room is filled with laughter. Maybe it's the moonlight or the nearness of him. Either way this moment feels magical. It felt like it won't end. You wish it won't. You suddenly felt warmth on top of your hand. You looked and saw his hand on yours.

You looked at each other wordlessly. He's smiling. You returned a smile. You just smiled at each other until you both fell asleep holding each other's hand.

If you can't be his lover, being his friend is good enough. Supporting him is what you need to do. You need to start learning how to not get jealous.
