Minji's Sitter | Taejin ✔️

Thirty-Six

When the plane landed and they were leaving the plane, Jin was holding onto Minji hand, who had woken up halfway through the flight and kept him entertained the rest of the flight. He turned to tell Taemin bye, but Taehyung was blocking his view, "I believe the exit is that way." Taehyung placed his hand Jin's shoulder and turned him towards the exit.

"Minji baby, did you enjoy the flight?" Taehyung quickly asked his daughter before Jin could say anything to him.

"I did, Jinnie made me do my homework, and then we played games, but I am hungry."

"We will get something to eat once we are at the hotel, okay." Both Jin and Minji could hear Taehyung faint voice as Jin hurried off the plane, leaving Taehyung behind. He was extremely annoyed by how Taehyung was acting, and twice Taehyung had stopped him from talking, he was on edge to give him a piece of his mind.

"I thought I was getting my own room?" Jin had his arms folded across his chest while staring Taehyung down, upon arriving at the hotel Taehyung booked, he found out they were all staying in the same suite which was not something he had agreed to.

"Jin, you are getting your own room, the suite has three rooms, a kitchen, living room, and dining area. I figure you guys would be more comfortable in a homelike setting than a standard hotel room."

Minji was running in and out of the rooms that were in the suite as she looked around the place. "Daddy, I like it here."

"Do you, baby?" Taehyung asked his daughter while smiling, "You can pick whatever room you want. Jin and I are talking for a moment."

"Okay, Jinnie, come see outside with me when you are done," Minji says to Jin and runs off back to looking at the rooms.

Jin waited patiently until Minji left to respond to Taehyung. "I wanted a room by itself, outside of this suite, I am not comfortable staying in the same space as you."

"And why is that?"

"I am just not, I don't think I need to give you a reason why. And in case you forgot we aren't exactly best friends here, Taehyung. I don't have the energy in me to fight with anyone, particularly you. You don't like me, I don't like you us being in the same space for too long won't do any of us any good, so, me having my own space would be better for us."

"Do you think I have it in me to fight with you either? We just got off a flight, I am exhausted, hungry, have work to do, and I have to make sure I get my daughter's teacher to send all the assignment she will need to do this week. I definitely don't have the energy to fight with you. And for future reference, it's your attitude and your way of speaking I don't like.

Minji is important to both of us, granted I know she's not your daughter, but besides me, you the only other person she has right now as a parent figure in her life. For whatever reason you decided you would give it another chance and babysit her, it made me grateful, and I know I have never told you this, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there for her, she loves and adores you, probably more than she loves me.

I know I have said some bad things to you before, and I am sorry about that. I have done some soul searching the past few months, and where I was in my life previously, I don't want to be there anymore. I don't want to have Minji hating me, and I don't want you to think I am some kind of a heartless monster, I am not. I was wrong for how I reacted with certain things and treated you, you didn't deserve it.

I know my apology is late, but can we please for Minji's sake just get along. I am not asking you to be my best friend either, but I am letting you know I don't want to fight with you like this anymore neither. I doubt we have ever had a real conversation without it, not turning into an argument, and that's sad when I really think about it, especially after all you do for my daughter. So, please, lets us just use this week to be civil to one another and give Minji a good time in London. I won't bother you if I don't have to, and If you need anything, let me know. Let's talk like adults and stop fighting like we have nothing else to do with our lives. It's not healthy for you, and it's not healthy for me; most importantly, it's damaging to the one person we care for."
