Sick

"Hello Jimin, I'm Park ~"

Seokjin's pov

It was Friday. We'd been at Namjoon's parent's house for four days now and I'm honestly homesick. I didn't have anything to do during the day. Namjoon set off to help his father and uncles during the day. Apparently they needed him to overlook some sensitive and immediate transactions related to their family business. Namjoon didn't work within his parent's infrastructure, he had his own job however he was smart enough to handle most of it. He didn't want the pressures of a life of a CEO. So when we were younger I encouraged him to choose his own path and he did. That's a long story though. Ancient even.

Anyway it was just me, Jimin and Namjoon's mother at the house along with the maids and helpers but I didn't count them as they didn't talk as much and didn't get in the way.

Myung sook has been driving me a little bit off the edge recently. Whenever I was around with Jimin she'd toss out some cruel comments. I did my best not to respond and just ignore her.

Jimin on the other hand adored her. I had no control over that. She treated him alright for the most parts and always gave him toys and fruity treats. It's true that children are carefree and oblivious. They have no idea what the mood is. You'd have to explain it to them in detail for them to grasp it. But oh well. What can you do.

Today was a particular hot day so I decided to go with Jimin to the park and maybe get some lemonade or ice-cream in town. It wasn't far. A bus ride would suffice. It'd take 10 minutes. And plus Jimin odly enough has never been on a bus. So why not start today?

I got him ready and dressed him in a white tee, -that I'd probably regret later but it looked cute- , some casual khaki shorts and a yellow sun hat with some brown sadles to finish it off. I applied some strong sun cream on his exposed body due to his delicate skin. He whined the whole time but settled after I announced i was almost done.

We head to the front door and was about to make our way out when Myung sook stopped us.

"Where are you going?" I almost didn't answer.

"To the town park for a little bit." I answer simply hoping she wouldn't say anything.

She looks at me oddly then sighs. "I'll ring up the driver."

"No need, we're going to take the bus."

She stares at me in disbelief. "What? A dirty bus?"

"Jimin's never been in one, so I thought why not today." I retort. Her face is still annoyed but she doesn't say anything else which surprises me.

I take that as a cue to leave. The bustop was right outside the house so it was no problem. I take out my phone and decide to tell Namjoon about it. But he beats me to it as i see his Name pop up on my screen. Jimin immediately perks up "Daddy!" He smiles. I smile back at him.

"Hi."

"Hey babe, you going somewhere?" He questions.

"How did you even - nevermind I know, anyway I was about to call you, we're going to the park in town for a little to get some ice cream or something." I explain.

"You didn't take a car?" He asks

"Nah it's close and plus you know Jimin's never been in a bus."

"Oh, yeah that's right. Well, be safe please. Call me if anything happens."

I chuckle, he was too sweet "Yeah don't worry."

"I'll probably be done in an hour or so, so I'll meet you in town in little alright."

"Yeah, that'll be great." I hand the phone over to Jimin and put it on speaker.

"DADDY?" He shrieks into the receiver. I really feel for Namjoon's eardrums.
