Chapter 5

"This is Kwanwook" I smiled awkwardly. "You're absolutely certain that you don't mind?"

"I am, don't worry" Taehyung grinned. "I love kids, he's so cute~"

When I had contacted Taehyung, I had told him briefly that I had a baby with me. He didn't seem to mind, but you can never be too sure. All the others I had contacted immediately said they didn't want a child in their house. I was relieved Taehyung was okay with it.

I smiled shyly in gratitude and looked away as Taehyung quickly pulled on a shirt he had grabbed from the couch.

"Can I hold him?"

I hesitated but slowly handed Wookie to Taehyung, no harm in that right?

The tall boy seemed to have some experience in holding a baby, because without me having to say anything he held Wookie in the right way. While he was cooing at the child, I took a moment to analyse him and take in my surroundings.

Taehyung, who looked my age, but might have been older, I wasn't certain, seemed to be a messy person. There were clothes everywhere, even a sock hanging on the television. I grimaced a bit, but it was expected since he had told me himself though the mails. He seemed like a nice guy, not particulary high educated, and funny and relaxed. A good roommate I'd say.

"Oh by the way, some guy dropped off your stuff yesterday evening, "I took the liberty to move them to your room."

Upon entering the apartment, you stepped into the living room. There was a small couch on the opposite wall with a loveseat besides it, a coffee table before those and a tv against the wall. I liked the way the dark blue couch contrasted against the white walls, which were almost painted with small photo frames with pictures in them. On the left was the kitchen, small, but it had everything necessary, like a fridge, a stove, and a dining table for four.

"I'll show you around quickly." Taehyung said. I nodded and Taehyung handed Kwanwook back to me, after which I put Wookie back in the pram, and Taehyung walked to the small hall at the back of the apartment.

"First door on the left is the bathroom, the one at the end is your room, the door on the right is mine." Teahyung opened my bedroom, showing a neat room with a one person bed, a desk and a closet for my clothes. "I guess you might want to settle in, so I'll leave you to it"

"Thank you Teahyung" I smiled in gratitude, he returned my smile before going into his own room and closing the door behind him.

I pushed the stroller in the bedroom and shut the door. The first thing I noticed were my bags in front of the closet, waiting to be unpacked.

I chewed on my lip and sat down on my bed, my body stilled for a few minutes. Thinking about all that has happened the last month, it was almost too much to handle. I unfolded the letter from my pocket once again, reading it over for the umpteenth time.

It was a reminder, that the little boy in the stroller needed me like no one else has ever had. He was my obligation now, and it didn't matter what anyone else thought. I had to do this.

I released my bruised lip from between my teeth and hid the letter carefully away in the top drawer of my bedside table.

Thus began the unpacking, putting my clothes in the closet, setting up the stuff Wookie needed against one of the walls, and switching back and forth between the bathroom to put some toiletries in the left, my, cabinet.

I softly heard some music play, and was instantly glad the walls weren't made of paper. I had a first impression of Taehyung, but there was no saying yet that he didn't party a lot or drank or played loud music. He didn't seem the type, but you never know.

As I nearly finished putting my neatly folded clothes in the closet, the bell rang, followed by a fast trail of Taehyung's footsteps as he opened the door.

"Hyungs!" Came an exclamation of surprise. There were multiple voices that flooded into the apartment.

"Where is he?"

"Is he nice?"

"Is he cute?"

A sudden soft cry grabbed my attention. I put the last few shirts away and went to the baby that needed my attention. Grabbing Kwanwook from the stroller, I started hushing him and walking small circles to calm him down.

A knock sounded on my door.

"Jimin?" I could hear Taehyung's voice on the other side. I opened the door and smiled shyly, aware of the eyes on me.

"I-uhhh... my friends wanted to meet you" He smiled sheepishly, his pearl white teeth greeting me pleasantly.

"Oh... uhm, okay" I shifted Wookie to my other shoulder carefully, stepping out of the doorway to follow Taehyung to meet his friends.

"He's so cute" I heard someone whisper. I stopped before them and bowed with my head, making sure I didn't move Wookie.

"Hello, I'm Jimin, nice to meet you" I had a tendency to talk softly, sometimes nearly inaudible, when I met new people. Taehyung introduced them shortly"

"This is Jin hyung," the tall one "that's Yoongi hyung" he looked bored, tired "and Namjoon hyung" there was a huge pair of sunglasses on his nose and a big smile on his face.

"You're younger than us right?" Namjoon asked.

"Uhm, 13 October '95"

"Oh so you're older than Tae and Kookie but younger than us" Jin noted. Kookie?

"Guess I should call you hyung then" Taehyung mumbled.

"Is he yours?" Yoongi looked at Kwanwook, earning an elbow from Jin. I bit my lip.

"What?" Yoongi glared at Jin

"That's really impolite"

Nonetheless, all four of them seemed curious to my answer. I shifted awkwardly, which Taehyung seemed to notice as he got their attention.

"When is Kookie coming?"

"He should be here in a bit" Namjoon shrugged.

(I kind of based the apartment off this picture, so you sort of understand how it looks...)
