the very worst of us / the best of us

Chapter 10

Junghyung couldn't believed his ears when his father called him and told him that their Papa is awake.

Him, along with his brothers were fetched by Namjoon and they were on their way towards the hospital.

As they were getting closer and closer, Junghyung was overwhelmed with different types of emotions.

He is happy that his Papa is awake but he don't know what's going to happen. Are they going to be all together again? Will they be able to forget the past and move on?

"You look troubled son." Namjoon commented.

Junghyung wanted to just brushed his uncle off and told him that it was nothing but his uncles were so observant that he knows Namjoon would feel hurt if he thinks that Junghyung is hesitant to talk to him about his dilemma.

"Its just... Weird. I'm feeling very weird" He said.

Namjoon chuckled and nodded his head understandingly.

" I won't say that I understand what you're going through because honestly, I don't. But.. what I know is that. There's no other 16 years old kid who is as strong as you. And you love your Dad so much. I can see it. Everyone can. And Junghyung, you love your Papa too. You spent three years focusing on your anger for your Papa so I know that it will be very hard to show your affection for him suddenly but you'll feel your love for him again surely. He's your Papa Junghyungie and if I remember correctly, you were always a Papa's boy, weren't you?" Namjoon teased.

Junghyung chuckled and silently agreed that his Uncle Namjoon sure knows how to make people at ease.

When they reached the cabin, Junghyung hesitated to enter the room for a bit.

Namjoon opened the door for them and it was Taegguk who rushed inside. Followed by Taejung. His uncle Namjoon gave him an encouraging pat on his back and he took a deep breath and stepped inside the room.

His Papa was holding Taejung and Taegguk tightly with tears streaming down his face. And his daddy was hovering beside them but he was looking at him.

His dad smiled at him and gestured him to walk closer to them.

Jeongguk held his two little boys tightly. His baby Taejung was sniffling.

"Aww Taejungie" was all he could say.

Meanwhile, Taegguk was being a clueless little happy baby.

"Papa. You're okay now? " Taejung asked.
Jeongguk nodded his head and pecked his forehead.

"Yes baby. I am. And I am so sorry for everything baby." He said.

Taejung cling on to him.

"Its okay Papa. Just don't leave us again. I forgive you. I know the truth now. " Taejung said in a tone just above a whisper.

Jeongguk cried and looked up and locked eyes with his eldest son who was looking at him too.

Taehyung silently took Taegguk and Taejung away to give them alone time.

Jeongguk knew that Junghyung is so much like him not only in his looks but also Junghyung inherited his stubbornness, protectiveness, possessiveness. He just hope Junghyung will find it in him to forgive him.

"Hey buddy" Jeongguk greeted.

Junghyung hesitantly shuffled towards him. He looked at him for a brief second to probably check on him and then looked away.

"You okay?" Junghyung asked.

Jeongguk smiled at that.

"Yes I am son. I am more than okay" he answered.

Junghyung nodded his head.

"Okay. That's good. Uh.... Cool. "

Jeongguk sighed.

"Junghyungie.. " he began which made his son looked up.

"Can you please come closer and let me hold you?" Jeongguk asked with tears streaming down his face.

Junghyung hurriedly walked towards his father's open arms and sobbed along with his Papa.

"Oh Son.. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry Junghyungie. Papa is so sorry" Jeongguk sobbed.

The two hugged each other and cried for a long time unaware of Taehyung looking at them from the door who was also crying at the sight.

Taehyung felt a tug in his pants and he quickly looked down to see his son Taejung.

"Hey baby. ." He said and scooped his seven year old son he often forget is still a little baby into his arms.

"My precious Taejungie" he said and pecked his cheeks.

Taejung smiled making Taehyung's heart clenched.

"Daddy.. We will all be together now. Right?" He asked making Taehyung smile..

"Of course my baby. Of course. "

"Will Papa come home with us?" He asked.

Taehyung smiled and think about how Jeongguk begged him to take him home with him.

"The kids will arrive soon Ggukie" Taehyung said as he finished feeding Jeongguk.

"Baby.. Will you allow me to come home and live with you guys again?" Jeongguk hesitantly asked.

Taehyung forced a smile.

He don't know what to say.

"Are we ready for that Ggukie? I mean we're divorced" he asked and he immediately regretted it when he saw how Jeongguk's face dropped with obvious hurt in his eyes.

"Baby. . I know I am in no position to just come back into your lives. But.. Baby.. I don't want to live without you and our kids, not even for a bit. I am ready but if you're not ready.. I can wait. I can wait for a lifetime. I have no other home. And about the divorce.. I want to fix that as soon as possible. If you'd still have me"

It was true . Even if Jeongguk have an expensive penthouse located in the most expensive area , he don't want to return there. It's not his home. Taehyung is his home.

Taehyung smiled softly and he knew that this time, their love will be enough to move on from the past and misunderstanding that destroyed them.

Taehyung smiled at his son.

"Yes baby. His home is with us."
