the very worst of us / the best of us

chapter 2

"Its so tasty! Thank you daddy for taking us here!" Taejung happily digged into his food.
Taehyung smiled happily at his kids who were eating whole heartedly. The sight in front of him is the most beautiful sight for Taehyung.
Since it was pay day, he decided to treat his son to a nice dinner in the heart of Seoul.

"Dad, do you not like the food? Why are you not eating?" Junghyung asked, concerned.

His three boys looked up at him with wide doe eyes and he can't help the smile spreading on his face.

"Oh I was just watching you guys eat. Come on guys, lets eat! After this we'll have ice cream!" He exclaimed earning an exciting squeals from the youngest.

"Yeth Daddy! You are tha beshh!" Taegguk exclaimed and Taehyung booped his nose while cleaning the food that spill from his baby's mouth.

Taehyung paid for the food and they headed for the car with Taegguk in his arms and Junghyung holding Taejung's hands.
Taegguk was excitingly narrating his dreams which consisted of dragons and dinosaurs.

Taehyung stopped in his tracks when he saw the person he dreaded to see the most.

There, beside their car stood his ex-husband, the father of his kids with a woman hanging off his arms.

Jeongguk was equally as shocked as Taehyung. Taehyung didn't have a time to think because Junghyung suddenly grabbed his hand and walked towards the driver's side of their car.

"Tae.. Baby.." Taehyung heard it clearly.
Taegguk was now looking at the man with curiosity. He was too young to understand the tension. "I'm tha baby!" He cutely exclaimed. Meanwhile his brothers were shaking with anger. Junghyung was furious. Taejung was also angry at the man for ruining the night.

"Boys.." Jeongguk tried again and stepped towards them but halted his movements when Junghyung turned around and glared at him.

Jeongguk was taken back by his children's growth. Junghyung was only twelve and Taejung was four and Taegguk, his little baby was just a newborn when he left. Jeongguk was disgusted at himself.

"Honey?" The woman he came with called. He harshly glared at the woman and the woman kept her mouth shut.

Junghyung chuckled and shook his head.

"Listen you fucker! Me and my family are having a nice evening. Don't you fucking ruin it."

Jeongguk was shaken by the words spitted by his own son. But he knows he fucking deserve it.

"I'm.. I'm.. I just.. both of you don't reply and.." He stuttered but he was cut off by his favourite voice in the world.

"Junghyung baby, please get in the car with Taejungie. Lets not be late for ice cream. Yeah?" Taehyung gently tried to coerce his son.

Junghyung sighed and nodded his head.

Jeongguk watched as his eldest son opened the door for Taejungie, his quiet but insightful son.
He gasped when he saw the glare Taejung threw at him. Taehyung quickly strapped Taegguk to his car seat and was about to get inside the car when Jeongguk quicly make his way towards him and pulled him aside.

"How fucking dare you!" Taehyung growled.
Jeongguk eyes watered and tears streamed down his eyes.
"Baby.. please let me explain.. please!"

He was startled as he was grabbed by a pair of arms.

"Don't fucking touch him!" Junghyung shouted at him.
"Son.." Jeongguk tried to talk to his son. He was always his boy. He used to play all kinds of games with him.

"I'M NOT YOUR FUCKING SON! YOU LOST US THE MOMENT YOU WALKED OUT AND SENT THOSE PAPERS! FUCKING LEAVE!" Jeongguk was surprised by the outburst of his son.

"Junghyung.. baby. Please get in the car for me." Taehyung softly said with tear stained eyes.

Junghyung looked at him and walked towards him.

"Don't cry because of him dad. Please don't. He don't deserve these tears"

Jeongguk gasps was audible but no one paid him attention.

Junghyung glared at him once more and then get inside the car.

Taehyung took a deep breath and spared one last glare at his ex-husband.

"Don't.. Just Don't" He said and did not say any other words but the message was clearly sent across.

He get inside the car and started the ignition and drive away.

Jeongguk watched his family driving away from him, he watched them getting farther and farther, fainter and fainter and he watched till the car disappeared from his vision.

He dropped to his knees and sobbed.

I deserve this!

I fucking deserve this!

But this is too much! Lord help me!

He prayed and sobbed his heart out in the parking lot.
