SKYLIGHT [Completed] ✅

Chapter 9

Almost 5 years later....

"Gookie. .....Gookie! Please stop baby boy. ....appa is tired now."

Jin was chasing 4 year old Kim Sangook down the grassy bank of their 20 acre home. He was a little livewire. Jin held his side from all the exertion as the little one barreled down the embankment.

"Oh no! Gookie!" Jin screamed as his toddler started to wobble dangerously with the resulting momentum of his run. He gave chase again, forgetting about his aching side.

"Whoa there soldier!" A stranger could see the little boy running down at top speed and losing his balance. He caught him just in time before he could slip and fall head first onto the hard ground.

Jin gasped in shock, watching the scene unfold. He had lost sight of Sangook as he went over the hill. He screamed in agony. His baby would be hurt so badly.

Then he saw his little head appear over the hill. He was laughing happily. It was then that Jin noticed that Sangook was being held by someone. A strange man had his son in his arms. As they got closer, Jin gasped in shock. It was his Kookie. His Jungkook-ah, carrying little Gookie.

Jin ran to them and took his son out of Jungkook's hold, checking him for any injuries. Then he turned to a smiling Guk and thanked him profusely.

"Oh thank you Kookie-ah. You saved him. You little nonsense! You're always troubling appa," Jin chastised his baby.

"I-I'm sorry appa. Please don't be angry. But the strong man caught Gookie and see, Gookie is not hurt."

He was so cute and sweet. Jin hugged him to his chest.

"Jin hyung. ....y-you look amazing! I'm ...I'm sorry for just coming like this," Jungkook said, shyly. "I was back in Seoul for a few weeks so I thought I'd look you up. I hope I'm not intruding."

Seokjin gazed into the eyes of the man that he had loved for almost 7 years. The years had been kind to him. He was more handsome and bulky. His shirt was pulled tightly over his muscles. His taut chest could be seen straining against his buttons. Jin wanted to place his hands over them but caught himself when he realised who he was...He was Kim Seokjin, husband to Kim Namjoon, CEO of Kim Group of Companies.

"Hyung? Are you okay?"

"Yeah...I'm fine. Hey no problem. Come on in. I need to get this little one cleaned up too."

"No! No! No! Gookie want strong man! Not noona Lee!" Little Sangook protested in Jin's arms.

Jungkook laughed lightly at the nickname given by Jin's son. "It's no problem hyung. I can carry him."

Seokjin looked at his son thoroughly perplexed. Sangook was never good with strangers but here he was almost jumping out of Jin's hold and squirming to get to Jungkook. Seokjin gave up and let Sangook go to Jungkook. He smiled happily, settling into Jungkook's lap peacefully.

They walked up to the grand house companionably.

"How did you get here Kookie?"

"I took an uber and walked up the drive, that's when I saw this little mite running and almost falling over," indicating a giggling Sangook. "He's gorgeous hyung. He looks so familiar to me. Strange hey. It's the first time I'm meeting him but I love him already. Maybe because he's yours. Namjoon is truly blessed to have you both hyung."

Seokjin didn't know how to respond to that so he just smiled as they walked into the expansive hallway of his vast home. They made their way to the bathroom in the nursery and found Mrs Lee already running a bath for Sangook. He squealed that he didn't want her, only Jungkook and Jin threw his hands up in defeat as Jungkook only chuckled.

"It's okay hyung. You take a rest and I'll bath him. Mrs Lee is here to assist me."

Seokjin laughed lightly and made his way to his own bathroom to have a relaxing soak. He was tired from chasing Sangook for the better part of the afternoon. It felt strange to have Jungkook back as though he never left. And he was already bathing Sangook. Seokjin shook his head and allowed himself to get lost in the soothing bubbles and scented bath bombs.

When he was done, he made his way back to the nursery to check on Sangook. He found him fast asleep in Jungkook's arms. Both of them were in the antique rocking chair at the window seat. Seokjin settled on the window seat and gazed at the two of them adoringly. Jungkook had Sangook cradled over his chest, his head resting on his shoulder. Seokjin smiled when he saw his little thumb in his mouth. He sometimes still put his thumb in his mouth to fall asleep.

He stroked his hair lovingly and Jungkook's eyes opened, locking onto Seokjin's. They gazed at each other, lost in memories of years ago. Then, slowly, Jin took the sleeping toddler in his arms and placed him in his car bed, tucking him in gently. They made their way out of the room quietly.

"Hyung? Is it okay if my boyfriend joins us for dinner tonight?"

The question threw Jin off completely. He didn't know Jungkook was dating anyone. Truthfully speaking, he didn't know anything about Jungkook's personal life of the past 5 years. He lowered his gaze to hide the pain in his eyes and nodded at Jungkook.

"No problem Kookie. Will you be staying with us for a while then?" Seokjin held his breath, waiting to hear that his Kookie would be staying with him, hoping he would.

"If it's okay with you hyung. Jimin won't stay though. He is just visiting his parents then he has to leave on assignment."

"He's welcome to stay as well Kook. I'm glad you've found someone to make you happy Kookie. He must be really special if he's with you."

"He really is hyung. I'll just text him your address then. Thanks hyung."

He turned away from Seokjin to text his boyfriend so he didn't see the tear that escaped Seokjin's eye. He wiped it away quickly. Just then Namjoon entered the hallway, arriving from work.

"Jinnie! I'm home love."

Seokjin made his way down to his husband. He embraced him and Namjoon pecked Jin's soft lips lovingly.

"I missed you honey. You smell so intoxicating. Mmmm....I just want to ravish you," Namjoon said, seductively. Just then he noticed a strange man on the upper foyer observing them and he scrunched his nose in confusion. "Babe, do we have company?"

"Y-yes. My friend is visiting with us today. Is it alright with you?"

"Of course babe. Come, introduce me."

They made their way upstairs and Namjoon greeted Jungkook formally.

"You seem familiar Jungkook. Have we met previously?"

"Yes. I attended your wedding to Jin hyung."

"Oh yes! Now I remember! How silly of me! Please make yourself welcome. I'll just slip into something more comfortable. You guys catch up." He kissed Jin and made his way to their bedroom.

Seokjin looked at Jungkook awkwardly.

"You look happy hyung. I'm glad. All I've ever wanted is to see you happy. Namjoon looks like he loves you a lot."

Seokjin lowered his gaze. "Y-yes. He does. Let me show you to your room Kookie."

They walked to the guest room and Jungkook looked at his hyung with eyes that were filled with sadness. He wished he could be the one to greet him lovingly after a long day at work and kiss him passionately. But he suppresses those thoughts as his phone rings. It's Jimin. And he's outside.
