PROMISE (JiminXJungkook)

Chapter 9

When Jimin woke up the next morning, he felt a weight over his waist, not so heavy but more than his usual blanket. He rubbed his eyes open thinking Soobin had climbed over him but to his surprise it was someone's hand. And by someone,he meant it belonged to none other than Jungkook. It wasn't wrapped around but simply slung over, and Jimin's sleep lagged brain decided to panic over it. Should he just move, but that might wake him and things will get awkward. Maybe he should try to shimmy out of there. Maybe he should wake Soobin up. No, no, no..

It's just a freaking hand! Jimin thought to himself trying to calm himself down. Well internally because on the surface he was still lying like a log, closing his eyes going over scenarios when it suddenly hit him. He should just do that. Because as a routine, it was always Jungkook who woke up first and got ready for the day and helped Soobin up. He would generally met them at breakfast. So it was the best idea. He would just pretend. And if his husband decided to freak out seeing that, that was his problem. Not Jimin's. So feeling satisfied with his plan, he tried to fall asleep again.

He woke up the next time to the sound of Soobin whining. He fluttered his eyes open and saw his baby on Jungkook's lap, and Jungkook coaxing him , shuffling his hairs lightly. And the sight warmed his heart.

He heard Jungkook talking to Soobin trying to get up but his baby had other plans.

As soon as Soobin saw Jimin waking up, he climbed back to him and clung to him, burying his face into his chest.

"Minnie.. I don't go... "

"You don't go?" Jimin smiled asking pulling himself up with him. He understood Soobin was talking about not going to his daycare.

"Pleawseee..." Jimin almost melted but the other human present in the room cleared his throat.

"Okay.. Okay let's get you a bath first.. " And as Soobin obliged, he glanced towards Jungkook and he mouthed a small thank you in return.

The morning was going pretty well, Jungkook didn't seem awkward at all so Jimin was relieved. He and Soobin, both made their way to the dining hall for breakfast but yes of course, Kim Namjoon was sitting there, with his iPad, explaining something to Jungkook.

"Good morning! Jiminsii... . " Jimin didn't know himself why he found Namjoon so irritating.

"Yeah.. Good morning.. " Jimin wouldn't have replied if Soobin wasn't present. He was petty, at least when it came to Namjoon but he was trying to teach Soobin good values and behavior , so begrudgingly, he replied smiling back.

"Jiminsii.. Mrs. Jeon wanted you to visit her.."

"Excuse me???" Jimin almost choked on the piece of toast he was chewing.

"Mrs. Jeon... umm... Jungkook's mom said she wants to meet you and expects you by evening. "

Needless to say Jimin could add another reason as to why Kim Namjoon irritated him so much.

"See.. Mr. Kim.. " Jimin began with his unusually high sweet voice and a fake bright smile on his face. "If my mother-in-law wants to see me she could visit or call me rather than summoning me via a messenger.. We are living in the 21st century after all.. Not in stone age... am I clear?"

He heard a mumbled yes from Namjoon, but what amused him was Jungkook intentionally not paying attention to their conversation. He just pretended to be busy with the food and newspaper. Maybe because he knew how his mother could be. Jimin won't call his mother in law evil but she had an air of haughtiness, being the Jeon matchiarch but Jimin wasn't someone who would bend for anyone. He remembered how she tried to control Taehyung's life but he always had a shield in the form of Jungkook, saving him from her manipulations. But Jimin didn't have that luxury, so he was his own savior.
