Yoongi stares at the sleeping bundle cradled in his arms.
What? This can't be right...
Turning his attention to the woman who gave him the baby, he gapes dumbly.
"A-are you sure? This isn't some sick joke, right?"
The woman sighs, her glasses masking the grief in her eyes, "when the authorities searched the house, they found his birth certificate, and your name was on it. If you want, Mr. Min, we can put him into the Foster Care system." She's had so many cases like this that she should be numb, but it still hurts her to see another unwanted child go into the system.
When she reaches for the baby, she's slightly taken aback when he moves away from her, his body caging the little one protectively.
"Wait, I want to keep him." His face flushes in embarrassment, but when he meets the eyes of the child care worker, he can't find it in himself to care.
"I want to keep him," he says, this time with more backbone, "I don't want him to grow up thinking he wasn't loved." He looks down at the baby- no, his son- who has finally opened his eyes. His doe eyes stare at Yoongi's sharp ones, and his eyes light up in joy and wonder. He reaches his arms out to try and touch his father's face as soft, little babbles escape his mouth, and Yoongi would be a monster if he gave him up.
"I'm wanna watch him grow up. I wanna give him the love he deserves. I wanna raise Jeongguk to be the best he can possibly be." When he looks at the worker, he can see her eyes are filled with happiness.
Giving him a small smile, she reaches for her suitcase, "well Min Yoongi, I wish you the best of luck on your journey with Jeongguk. Please take good care of him." She takes the baby's hand in hers and gives it a small shake, Jeongguk's eyes lighting up with joy as he tightens his hold on her finger and thrashes it around.
Pulling her hand away, she waves and exits the house.
Yoongi stares at the door long after she leaves, and it's only when Jeongguk lets out a tiny squeal does he get to moving.
This is gonna be so hard, he thinks to himself. But when he looks at those big eyes, he can't find it in himself to regret the decision.
This may be hard, and I know I'm gonna fuck up, but I won't ever give up.
