Let Me In | Jinkook ✔️

The Boss Offers.

"You look a mess," Hoseok said to Jin as Jin walked around the book store aligning the books together.

"I have a headache. Barely had any sleep last night." Jin said. It has been two months since Jungkook moved in. Things are going good between them. He's learning a lot more from Jungkook as time goes by. He was slowly starting to open up in bits and pieces to Jungkook, but he has yet to confide in him some of his darkest moments of being married to Namjoon.

Apart from him didn't even want to go into his past. He just wanted to leave it where it was. However, he knew it was only right to share things with Jungkook. Especially considering the face he loves the younger.

Jimin was on top of the world. His Kookie living in their home with his dog make Jimin the happiest kid. He had started calling Jungkook dad. The first time he did it, Jin swore he saw Jungkook cry. Even though the younger tried denying it every time he brought it up.

"Who kept you up, Jungkook or Jimin?" Hoseok asked with a knowing smirk.

Jin laughed. "Neither one. Jungkook worked late yesterday. I was hot all night, but the a/c was on. Even after Jungkook came home, he said it was freezing in the house, so he doesn't get why I'm so hot."

"And you came to work? You might have a fever. You should be home resting. Talk to Taehyung and let him know you need the day. You look horrible." Jin gave Hoseok a weak smile and nods his head. "Fine. I'll let Taehyung know. Thanks, Hoseok."

Jin walked up to the stairs towards his boss office and knocked on the door. "Coming in." Taehyungs deep voice called out.

As Jin walked in, Taehyung smiled. He was always captivated by Jin's natural and pure beauty. "How's my favorite person doing? You look down today? Did someone hurt you?"

Jin smile at Taehyung's questions. "I'm doing okay. No one hurt me. I think I have a fever."

Taehyung got up from his desk and walked towards Jin feeling his forehead. "Gosh, you are burning up. Do you want to lay down on the sofa over there?" Taehyung asked and pointed to the chair in his office.

"No, I was hoping I could leave early?"

"Of course. Let me get my keys. I'll take you home. I don't think you should drive in this state." Jin wanted to protest, but Taehyung had already grabbed his car keys and was leading him out of his office. "Taehyung it's fine, really," Jin said as they made it towards his car.

"Jin I cannot allow you to drive home in this state. I'd feel horrible if something were to happen to you." Taehyung said as he opened his car door for Jin.

Jin got in. He just wanted to get home. He gave Taehyung his home address, and they took off. "How're things at home? How's Jimin?" Taehyung asked, trying to make light conversation.

"Everything is fine at home. Jimin is growing up. It's amazing how much he's growing. I was worried at first for him, but he's doing well." Jin said, staring out the window.

"Why were you worried?"

"Well at first I didn't know how I would raise him moving here alone as a single parent, but somehow everything worked out."

Taehyung jammed his breaks suddenly. "Wait. Jungkook is not Jimin's dad?" Jin jerked at the impact and had to swallow back the vomit that made its way into his mouth.

Gosh, that felt nasty, he thought. He turned to look at Taehyung. "No, Jungkook isn't. However, he has taken on the role of a father figure in Jimin's life. Which I'm grateful for."

"Interesting. So he's Jimin's stepdad?" Taehyung said as he began driving again.

"Technically, he is. However, Jimin doesn't see him as such. Neither do I."

"Interesting. So do you love him?" Taehyung couldn't believe that Jimin wasn't Jungkook's kid. He had stayed away from Jin because he thought him and Jungkook had been together for a long time. Jungkook even acted like it when he would see him around. Always showing people pictures on him and his "son."

"I do. I love him very much." Jin said with a smile.

"Why?" Taehyung asked without even thinking as he pulled up to Jin's driveway. "Sorry. I shouldn't have asked that." He said, giving Jin an apologetic smile.

"Don't worry about it. Thanks for dropping me home. I'll get my car tomorrow. Or have Jungkook pick it up." Jin said as he got out of the car.

"Are you going to be home alone?"

"I am. However, Jungkook will soon be home with Jimin."

"I don't think it's safe for you to be alone. Do you want me to come and keep your company until they arrive? I can make you some warm tea and help you get to bed."

"Ummm. No, it's fine. Jungkook will be home soon, and I think he'd prefer to be the one to do that. No offense, but I don't think he'll be okay with someone, especially my boss coming into our home much less our bedroom and playing his role. I greatly appreciate you taking me home. I hope you get back to work safely." Jin said and got out of Taehyung's car.

"I'm sorry, Jin. I didn't mean to offend you I was only..."

"Trying to be of help. I know. I'm not offended. However, I'm trying not to offend my boyfriend either. I hope you can understand." Jin said give Taehyung a weak smile and walking towards his house.

"Why didn't I meet him first," Taehyung mumbled to himself as he drove off.

As soon as Jin got into the house, he rushes to the toilet and throws up everything he had eaten that morning. This has been going on for about a week now. Every time he said he was going to the doctor, something came up. Jungkook wasn't aware that Jin was sick. Neither did Jin want to worry him.
