Single Mommy « J.JK »

Chapter Ten

─────────────────────

"What did I tell you about strangers?" Shang raised her brows looking at the pouting June on the sofa that was munching the pancake. It was a beautiful early morning where June couldn't stop explaining about the good things this sad man is.

"Not to talk to them?" She cutely smile, knowing that this would be her mother's weakness. Who could deny that oozing cuteness if hers? "But mommy! He's nice! And his big mommy! Not as big as uncle Jinnie, but he's more handsome!"

Shang laughed at her daughter's excuse. If Jin was here he'd scold June for comparing his attractiveness to someone.

"Uncle Jin will be upset" sweeping the floor where June spilled her milk, he said she could handle making breakfast with her own but the milk was too heavy for her making the box slip in her small hands.

"I'll apologize if you come with me tomorrow to meet daddy" June clapped her hands, drinking the milk out of the small bowl and walked to the faucet.

June seems happy but Shang wasn't. It is hard to look at your own daughter being...fatherless? If only she could just find someone as kind as Jungkook she'll be gladly chasing him or she even. June may not asked Shang about who her father was....but Shang know that the little girl wants to ask her... But she's a coward. Cowardly hiding June out of Jungkook's sight.

"Mommy has work tomorrow baby....maybe uncle Jin could accompany you" maybe this sad man isn't that bad. Maybe she can somehow make June happy? She doesn't come to an agreement about him being June's dad. They could start as friends and maybe then that sad man can take care of June while she and Seokjin are away. But now that the boys know about her daughter, maybe they can sometimes take care of her.

"okay mommy I understand" She again pouted.

"I would like to thank--"

And Namjoon's long speech. Seokjin could only look at the stage with boredom in his eyes. He wasn't supposed to handle the family buisness, it was supposed to be heritted by his older brother, but he had to screw things up and made Jinji with an underage girl who he met at a bar. To avoid tarnishing the already f*cked up background they have, Seokjin became the sole hire of the family buisness. Despite the heavy burden, Seokjin didn't complain because amidst those unwanted role, he has Jinji. The boy is like his own son and so was June. Which made him happy and guilty a the same time for hiding this side of him from Shang.

This side of him, the famous Kim Seokjin who owns the Kim enterprise is kept as a secret from Shang's knowledge. Shang only knows that he work as a chef and nothing more. He have done everything go keep his identity a secret from Shang. It wasn't because he doesn't trust her, it's just because being with Shang feels like home. He feels normal, no trouble, no problems, no meetings just him and Shang living a life out of stressful events. Shang's work place is owned by non other by him. The fake boss is his friend that is helping him with whatever plan Seokjin has.

He met her when June got her very first check up. She was struggling with a one year old June on her hands and arguing to a doctor who refuses to check for June's appointment.

She was fire back then, and obviously now also. She was a goddess in Jin's eyes, a spark that could lit his heart in one touch. He's in love to her. Yes he let his guard down and hid his identity but he can't risk the changes of their relationship if she were to know who he truly is. Shang would prioritize Seokjin's job first before them, that's the type of person she is.

The reason why Seokjin hadn't confessed to her after four years is because he saw that she have not yet moved on from that Jeon. No matter how she tries to hide it, Seokjin can still see the longing in her eyes. He envied and hated the man with all of his guts. If it makes her happy to be with him then he needs to erase this over heating hatred towards the younger who happened to be the behalf of the Kim Enterprise.

"Who's the special woman Hyung?" A formal clothed Taehyung sat beside him, looking at the stage and nodding effortlessly so propel would think he was listening to Namjoon's long and important speech.

"What woman" Seokjin snickered, crossing his hands whilse leaning on the golden steel covered seat that are only pleasing to the eyes but not in the comfort.

"I may be an alien but I'm not from Pluto" Taehyung joked, followed by his laughter that earned a few attention of individual who wore  fancy clothes on the hall making him shut his boxy smile. He hates attention the most, especially when it comes to unimportant people.

"Yeah you're from Mars I know....." He played along  after noticing that they're being in watch by the guests. They have to show that they're all in good terms Infront of people.

"And we're aren't close" he added when the gazes went back to Namjoon.

The generation of Kims aren't what it seems. Almost everyone of them aren't in good terms. The maker of the Kim Enterprise had one son, that son bore 2 child, a girl and a boy, but sadly the boy died from a planned murder from their enemies in the buisness industry. The daughter bore 3 children, two girls and one boy. The first born daughter  is the mother of Namjoon, the second born which was the only son is Seokjin's father and the younger daughter the last born is Taehyung's mother. The siblings fought for the heir position, to the point of despising one another. As the present generation grew older, they inherited the hatred their parents had to one another.

"I'm trying to connect with my cousins, isn't that too much to ask" Taehyung slightly shook his head in disappointed knowing that the older haven't noticed his friendly behaviour for the sake to mend their relationship. He was indeed trying to pull the Kims all together so that their empire would stand stronger. Of course there's a negative and a positive outcomes in his plan.

"I don't know what your motives are but it's still non of your business to know" Seokjin spoke coldly toward the younger, noticing the evil vibe this alien like man gave him. Taehyung only nod, not wanting to persuade the older making more problems and less of the trust he needed from him. He has way more things to be entertained with.

"Sure sure Hyung, whatever floats your golden boat" Taehyung soon left the taller alone in the fancy table and went somewhere less occupied and boring.

His eyes followed the younger with suspiciousness in every strides. Whatever he does, he won't ever give the younger the trust he yearn knowing how mischievous Taehyung work.

He cannot risk to loose the empire from someone cunning and vengeful.

He cannot trust the younger.
