Babysitter Wanted

Jimin's POV

-

I decided to give Yoongi a few days off so he could go visit his family. After hearing how upset he was from missing them, I didn't want to be the one keeping him from them.

I want him to have a good relationship with his family even though he lives far away now. It's been a little over three years since my father stopped speaking to me... I didn't want that for Yoongi.

After Seyoon's mother left us, my father demanded to know what I did that would have caused my bride-to-be to walk out on the family we had built together.

Through the years that I lived with my parents I never told them about my sexuality. I thought of how confused my mother would feel... she might even think she did something wrong while raising me. And my father... I knew he would be furious.

He would tell me, "A man belongs with a woman only! How can you say you could ever love a man that way!" He would have been so disappointed to have me as a son.

I didn't want to ever put my family through that kind of pain and confusion. However, once my family was torn apart, there was no way I could avoid his questions.

Seyoon was just a baby at the time so there was no reason for him to wonder why he couldn't see his grandfather anymore.

Although my father won't speak to me, I still try to keep in touch with my mother. I hope that one day I'll be able to make my parents proud again.

It felt good to get to spend some quality time with Seyoon. It's been a long time since we've had a chance to have some father-son bonding time.

I let Seyoon sleep in as long as he wanted that morning because I figured we would be having a lot of fun later and I thought he would get sleepy. Once he woke up he found me in the kitchen making him breakfast.

"Appa?" He quietly stepped closer to me and rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Are we going to see Yoongi hyung today?"

I stopped cooking to look down at him surprisingly. He was getting attached to Yoongi. "No. Yoongi hyung is in Daegu visitor his family."

Seyoon didn't look very pleased to hear that. "Will he come back?" He wouldn't look at me. He just stared down at his toes. "Jungkook hyung never came back."

I was frozen. I never thought I would hear that name spill from the lips of my child ever again. Somehow it was more painful to hear to that Jungkook was gone when it came from Seyoon.

He left us without saying anything. He didn't even tell Seyoon goodbye. He didn't even apologize!

All he did was leave a stupid note explaining that he met someone else and had been looking for a way out of being in such a time consuming relationship that he never asked for. He didn't want to be Seyoon's father.

I crouched down to his size. "Seyoon... I promise Yoongi hyung will come back. He will only be gone for a few days, but until then you and I are going to have a good time. How does that sound?" I flashed him a gentle smile and ruffled his hair.

He just yawned and hugged me tightly. "Ok." He was still really tired, but was too hungry to go back to bed.

"Go sit down and I'll bring you your breakfast." I gave him a quick kiss on the head and got back to preparing his meal.

I could help thinking about Jungkook. Had his leaving affected Seyoon just as much as it affected me?
