Minji's Sitter | Taejin ✔️

Forty-Eight

Minji didn't know why her father and Jin were sleeping on the sofa together, but she didn't bother waking them up. She took a seat and turned on the t.v., muting the volume so she wouldn't wake them and made herself some cereal.

Taehyung was the first out of the two to open his eyes; he was surprised to see Minji sitting and looking at him and Jin. As he was about to move, Minji placed a finger on her lips, telling him to be quiet as she points to Jin, who was still sleeping.

"Let Jinnie sleep," Minji whispered to her dad and turned her attention back to her cereal and the t.v.

Taehyung was feeling very conflicted. He knew Jin needed to sleep as they fell asleep late, but he also felt very uncomfortable with his daughter watching the two of them. She was looking at them more than she was looking at the t.v.

Deciding that having Jin wake was better than having his daughter looked at them as if they were figures in a museum, he pulled from under Jin and got off the couch. Jin immediately woke up, wiping the drool from his mouth as he looked around, confused.

When he saw Minji looking at him and Taehyung standing by the couch, he sat up and rubbed his eyes; his head began pounding. He grabbed his head and let out a groan. "What did I do?" he questions while looking at the almost empty bottle on the table in front of the couch.

"Minji baby, can you give Jin and me a moment, please?" Taehyung turned to his daughter and asked. He was worried that Jin had forgotten everything from last night, he knew he shouldn't have asked Jin to be his boyfriend while they were drinking. He felt like kicking himself for doing it.

"Sure daddy, but can I get dressed for the park, are we going out there today?" Minji jumps down from her chair and asks Taehyung.

"Yes, baby, we are going, so get dressed."

"Yay! morning Jinnie, I will be back." Minji said and placing her cereal bowl on the table in front of the couch and running off to the room she slept in.

Taehyung ran his fingers through his hair and sat down next to Jin. "Do you remember anything from last night?"

Jin turned and glared at Taehyung, "Unfortunately."

"What do you mean by that?" Taehyung asked, feeling offended. He was hoping jin wasn't talking about him agreeing to be his boyfriend.

"I wasn't drunk, Taehyung. It takes more than a water down bottle of whiskey to get me drunk. I was tipsy, not drunk, of course I remember which was shitty of you ask me that while we were drinking. Which reminds me, forget everything I told you last night, I said somethings I shouldn't have." Jin got off the couch, fixing his clothes and walked towards the door, "oh, and thank you for not taking advantage of me last night. I going to go shower, I feel like shit." he turned and told Taehyung and then walked out of Taehyung's hotel suite.

Taehyung sat on the couch, feeling very perplexed. What did Jin mean, did he mean for him to forget that he agreed to be his boyfriend? Not wanting to feel confused, Taehyung got off the couch and ran after Jin catching up to him before he could enter his room.

"Are you saying I should forget about you being my boyfriend?"

"I never said that and I never agreed to be your boyfriend, I said we could date." Jin turned and glared at Taehyung as he looked around the hallway to make sure no one was looking at them.

"That's not true; you said you would try being my boyfriend."

Jin folds his arms across his chest and lets out a frustrated sigh, " I don't understand you, Taehyung. For the record, I have never been anyone's boyfriend before, and you are only going to cause a problem with us again. Last night I apologized, I accepted your apology as well. We are fine now, let's keep things how it is for Minji's sake."

Taehyung didn't like what Jin was telling him, so he ignored him. "You said we could date, let's date. Tonight after Minji goes to bed, you are going on a date with me. And since you didn't get much sleep, I will take her to the park today, and you can stay in and rest."

"Tae-"

"See you later, Seokjin." Taehyung smiled and waved to Jin as he walked into his room and locked the door.

"I wish Jinnie came with us," Minji said, pouting as she took the ice cream Taehyung was giving her.

"Me too, but I wanted to spend some time with you. You know daddy and daughter time." Taehyung smiled down at his daughter, who gave him a weird yet questioning look. He did not know if it was because Minji had spent so much time around Jin, but she undoubtedly had some of his facial expressions.

"Why were you and Jinnie sleeping on the couch this morning, are you guys like how you and appa were, now?" Minji licked her ice cream and looked at her fathering waiting patiently for him to answer.

"I don't know, baby. It takes a while for anyone to get to how your appa and I was."

"Hmm, appa would have liked Jinnie."

"You think so?"

"Yeah, because I like him, and he takes care of me," Minji said with a smile, ice cream covering her lips.

Taehyung couldn't help but look at his daughter in wonder. He didn't know how she grew up so well and smart. "You are growing so well, Minji, you amaze me at times. I am sorry that I have been bad to you."

"You are not bad any more daddy, and I love you the most in the world." Taehyung felt like crying as his daughter spoke. Her words were like medicine to his heart.

"And here I thought you loved Seokjin and your appa more."

"I do," Minji said with a giggle and ran off from her dad.
