Minji's Sitter | Taejin ✔️

Forty-Five

Jin stood and watched Minji how excited and happy she was as she ran around the park. Sadness overwhelmed him as he looked at how smiling and cheery she was being, a part of him wished he had gotten a chance when he was younger to have a moment like she was having. His parents never took him on vacation or trips, much less to bring him to Disney World.

Taehyung, who was busy running around with Minji on every ride, took notice of Jin's mood. It had been their fourth day in Florida and their second time at the Magic Kingdom because Minji was adamant about them going back after their first day there. She had really liked that park; they had gone to Hollywood Studios and the Animal Kingdom, but Minji favorite remained the Magic Kingdom, and Taehyung didn't mind as the trip was meant for her to have as much fun as she wanted.

However, he noticed that after the second day, Jin wasn't the Jin he was used to seeing, especially when it came to Minji. He was tagging along, but had not been very talkative or engaging in much of the rides. He made sure they took breaks so Minji could eat and took her to the bathroom when she needed to go, but otherwise, he stayed pretty much to himself. At first, Taehyung thought it had something to do with him, but when Minji complained that she thought something was wrong with Jin, that's when he knew that Jin's moodiness was not subjective to him.

"I am going to be standing with Jin, but I will be watching you from right here, okay?" Taheyung tells Minji, who was on the carousel, hugging the horse.

"Okay," Minji responded to him with a cheesy grin on her face, she was having the time of her life.

Taehyung stepped off the carousel and walked out of the gate, giving the worker the go-ahead to start back up the ride as he goes to stand next to Jin. "Everything okay?" he bumps his shoulder onto Jin, who seemed to be looking into space.

"Yeah, everything is fine, why?" Jin rolled his eyes at Taehyung for disrupting him from his thoughts and looked towards where Minji was to make sure she was okay.

"You don't seem like your usual self, you have been sad this entire trip, is it because I didn't room with you and Minji?" Taehyung was trying to make a joke to get Jin to laugh or something.

"Are you being serious right now? Why would that make me sad?"

"I don't know, that's why I am asking. Did I say something to offend you?" Taehyung leaned closer to Jin while trying to get Jin to look at him, which didn't work.

"No, I am fine. I have a headache."

"For over four days now? You have been down since our first night here. You know you can talk to me, right?

"You are annoying, do you know that? And if you really want to know, I am feeling down because I wish someone took me to Disney when I was younger, there, you know now, are you happy?" After Jin snapped at Taehyung, he couldn't control the tears that fell from his eyes, primarily upon realizing he was down and out for a stupid reason.

"I see." Taehyung rocks back on his heels and lets out a deep sigh, "No one didn't take me here either, my parents were really busy when I was growing up, so they didn't have time to take me here. It's part of the reason why I made an effort to bring her here now, so she could experience something I never got the opportunity to experience. So, if it makes you feel any better, I have never been here either, but seeing her having so much fun makes me happy. And, you are not the only one who is stranger to this place, I am too.

You know, It's funny, but I used to tell myself if I ever had a child, I wouldn't get a babysitter or a nanny because I had way too many growing up. But look at me now with Minji, I guess I judge what I didn't understand, but I find that as humans, we do that a lot don't we."

Jin turned and looked at Taehyung, "Why did you forgive me?"

"What are you talking about?" Taehyung was confused by Jin's question.

"The abortion, why did you forgive me for it?" It had been one of the things that were heavy on Jin's mind for the last few weeks, he didn't understand why or how Taehyung could've forgiven him for that.

"Can we talk about this later? I think Minji's ride is finished, but I promise you I will answer your question, just later. Here is not exactly appropriate to talk about this right now." Taehyung whispered to Jin after seeing the two ladies that were standing close by looking at them judgingly.

"Yeah, whatever, it's fine; we don't have to talk about it," Jin said, turning his back to Taehyung.

"No, stop, I want us to talk about, just not right now, or right here, look around you, do you really want us to have this conversation here?" Taehyung turn Jin around to face him.

Jin looks around and lets out a heavy sigh, "No."

"Exactly, let's talk about this later when Minji is in bed." Taehyung gives Jin a reassuring smile before walking off to go get his daughter.

A blast in the past into one of Jimin's sessions with Jungkook.

Jimin's Pov:

"Has your relationship with your brother changed?" Jungkook asked Jimin, who was sitting in his office for their weekly therapy session.

"Somewhat, he is talking to me and including me in his life, so I guess you can say we are making a lot of progress. He is working as a babysitter here now too. I am hoping he stays this time around."

"That's good, we are making progress."

"Yeah, and no at the same time, like I feel like he lives a completely different life than I do. He sleeps around a lot, and I don't think he knows what he wants. Whereas I don't do any of that, I know what I want, I am focus-"

"But you were both raised differently, weren't you?"

"Yeah, but-"

"There is no but, he is himself, and you are you, Jimin. However, putting that fact aside, you had an advantage he didn't have, your parents listened to you, and from what you have told me, they never cared about him. Have you ever thought about what that might have done to him or how it made him feel?"

Jimin hated when Jungkook got like this with him, it made him regret his decision to start therapy, "I have, but-"

"No, buts, if you want to fix the relationship between you and your brother, you have to acknowledge that you both did not have the same starting point in life. You had opportunities to grow and flourish, he didn't, he had nothing but roadblocks, you don't get to judge someone like that. Have you ever been raped? Have you faced rejection from your parents? Have you had your brother neglect you?"

Jimin glared at Jungkook as tears fell out of his eyes, he knew what Jungkook was saying to him was the truth, but it hurt him hearing it.

*****

A/N: Many of you wanted to know how Jungkook could possibly know Jin, but keep in mind that Jungkook and Jimin are engaged. However, before their relationship developed, Jimin used to see Jungkook for counseling. Jin and Jungkook do not know each other on a personal level.

No Jinkook up in here.
