the very worst of us / the best of us

Chapter 14

Jeongguk looked at his two young son who excitedly play on his phone.

He smiled at the sight.

"Papa. Do you want to talk?" Junghyung asked, settling himself beside his father.

They had went upstairs after Jeongguk returned from the balcony.

Jeongguk smiled at his son gratefully.
He can't believe how mature his son is.

But he also felt bad that his son is so mature at a young age.

"I just.. I guess. Yoongi is confused too. I'm sorry but we really hated you and we had no idea that you were also in pain." Junghyung began

Jeongguk nodded his head.

Of course he felt Yoongi's pain but he can't get the image of him kissing his husband. Ex-husband.

"Yoongi loves Daddy. So much. And I admit that I wanted Daddy to be with him" Junghyung admitted with guilt.

Jeongguk heart broke again.

"He treated him right. And he love us. I want Daddy to be happy and not lonely."
Junghyung continued.

"But you know what Papa? Daddy don't want anyone else. Even when he hated you, he loves you and can't be with no one else."

Jeongguk was touched. But the sight at the balcony replayed in his head.

"I'm sorry for everything I've put you and your brothers through Junghyung." Jeongguk began.

"I hate myself so much for what I've done! I should have more faith. I should have been the man you all deserve." Jeongguk said with tears streaming down his face.

Junghyung awkwardly patted his back.

"Its okay now Papa. We reconciled, didn't we? I can't promise you all sunshines and rainbows but I know we'll make it work again no matter how long it takes. Daddy loves you, you love Daddy and you both love us and we love you both. Everything will be okay."

Jeongguk engulfed his son in a hug and sobbed.

"Papa! Why cry?" Taegguk asked and him and Taejung made their way towards them and tried to fit themselves between them.

"I'm happy baby. These are happy tears!" Jeongguk told Taegguk and gave him a peck. He also leaned down and lovingly pecked Taejungie who have tears in his eyes.

"Weally? Papa? No lie??" Taegguk asked with a pout.

"Yes baby. No lie" Jeongguk chuckled through his tears.

"Awww. What are you all doing here!" Taehyung's voice made all the boys looked towards the door.

"DADDY!" Taegguk and Taejung excitedly exclaimed and ran towards their father.

"Aww my babies! Did you have a fun time with Papa and hyungie?" He asked as he pecked both of their cheeks.

"We did Daddy! But we missed you!" Taejung said and pecked his father's cheek.

Taehyung smiled at him and smothered him with kisses.

"More kisses for Taeggukie too!" Taegguk whined resulting in laughter.

"Daddy! Where is Untle Yoonie?" Taegguk asked.

Taehyung froze and he quickly looked at Jeongguk who met his eyes.

"Baby.. Uncle Yoonie had to leave early tonight." He explained.

"Is he still angry Daddy? I don't want him to be angry Daddy. It hurts when we are angry." Taejung said worried for his uncle.

Taehyung smiled.

"Will he be back Daddy?" Taegguk asked.

"He'll be okay. And he'll be back. He love you guys okay?"

The kids nodded their head adorably.

"Junghyungie, why don't you take your baby brothers for the special dessert I made for tonight while me and Papa do something!" Taehyung animatedly asked while pleading his eldest son with his eyes.

Junghyung, so whipped for his daddy chuckled and nodded his head.

"What is it Daddy! Taeggukie want to know!" Taegguk eagerly asked.

"Its a surprise baby!" Taehyung answered.

"Will Papa and Daddy come down too?" Taejung asked.

"Yes baby we will! We will be right there with you guys!"

"Family time?" Taejung asked tilting his head to the side.

And Taehyung cooed at his adorable son.

"Yeah baby! Family time!"

When the kids left, Jeongguk and Taehyung stood in silence for a while.

"Taetae.." Jeongguk began.

Taehyung smiled and walked towards him.
Jeongguk breathed heavily when Taehyung held his hand.

He was afraid of what Taehyung could say.

Will he leave me for Yoongi Hyung? He had never hurt him like I did.

"Taetae. I... I love you so much. I won't apologize again for what I've done because you promised me that if I ever brought it up again you would be mad at me. And baby.. I don't want that.. but I hope you know that I love you so so much and that even if it hurts me.. I'll be okay if you don't want me anymore. I just want you to be happy."
Jeongguk sobbed.

Taehyung sighed and take him in his arms.

"Awww baby." He said and lightly stroke his back.

"I love you too baby."

Jeongguk pulled back from the hug and looked at Taehyung for reassurance.

"Really hyungie?" He asked.

Taehyung heart clenched when he saw the 15 year old Jeongguk in the present Jeongguk.

"Been so long since you called me that." He said.

Jeongguk tears spilled more.

"Of course baby I love you. You're the love of my life. I never stopped loving you."

Jeongguk cried hard.

"But.. I saw Yoongi hyung..kissing you." Jeongguk softly asked.

Taehyung sighed.

"Yeah he did. I'm sorry you had to see that baby. He.. he told me that he love me.. but baby.. I made it clear that you're the love of my life and pushed him away." Taehyung explained.

Jeongguk pulled him in his arms and sobbed but this time this was because of happiness.

"Thank you.. I know I don't deserve it but baby. Thank you. I love you. You're the only one for me. I love you." Jeongguk rambled.

Taehyung lightly laughed through the happy tears spilling from his eyes.

"Hyungie.. what are you doing?" Junghyung was shocked and almost made a sound. He carefully turned around and scooped his brother in his arms as he carefully but quickly made his way downstairs.

"Taejungie.. what are you doings here?" He asked.

Taejung adorably blinked up at him.

"Why are you crying hyungie?" He asked wiping his brother's tears with his small hands.

"I'm just happy Taejungie. I'm happy" Junghyung said with a content smile.
