Run Away | Jinkook ✓

Three days. That was all he had. Three days spent with nothing but his son. Getting to know him. Coming to love him impossibly more. Getting to know Jin in ways he never thought be would. They did every single thing together.

In the morning they would wake, get Seokmin dressed and ready and feed him breakfast. Then they would go do things as a family. Jin showed him all of New York. Central Park. The Empire State Building. The Statue of Liberty. They are at restaurants and he bought Seokmin more clothes than he was ever going to need. Then they would bath the baby bun, dress him in pajamas and put him down for the night. Jin still nursed at night, although he explained that they were slowly working towards weening. It was time and at this point it was simply for comfort, a moment where they would cuddle and bond. But both of them were ready to be done.

At night they would lay in Jin's bed and talk until they fell asleep. Jim would tell him stories of when Seokmin had been a baby, told him how he got an ear infection at three months old and he had nearly had a break down thinking he was a terrible mother.

But it was only three days, and they had to be at the airport before dawn to catch their flight. He had already said his goodbyes to Seokmin, tears forming in his eyes as the little one sobbed and begged him not to go. But he had to. His place was in Korea.

There was no guarantee that Jin wasn't going to disappear again, that these days wouldn't be all he'd ever have. But the omega seemed settled and content.

"Come back with me."

"What?"

"Come back to Korea with me."

"Jungkook..."

"Come on, you kept your citizenship right? And Seokmin should have dual since he was born here but we're both Korean."

"It's not that simple."

"What's not simple about it?"

"Jungkook, my life is here. My work, my school, my friends."

"You can work in Korea. Or just not work and stay home and take care of our baby. You can go to school in the mean time. I'm sure your credits will transfer. And maybe Yoongi and Hobi will come back with you."

"Jungkook, I'm not going back with you. Not right now."

"Why?"

"Because all I've ever done is make impulsive, rash decisions and I can't do that anymore. I have Seokmin now. And I need to think about what's best for him. And before you say having both of his parents is best for him, yes, I agree, of course it is. But Jungkook, you and I hardly know each other. I don't want my baby being shuffled back and forth for the rest of his life. So you and I need to take this slow. We need to learn each other."

"And we can't do that with you in Korea?"

"No. Because I know I can stand on my own two feet here. I have support here that I won't have there. You act like you can't just fly here whenever you want and see us any time. We can text and call and video chat."

"And what's your end game here Jin? To just keep me at arms length in our babies life?"

"Not even close."

"Then what?"

"My end game has always been to be your mate. I still want that. I still want us to get married and be a family. I still want to have more of your precious, beautiful pups. And if it were just me I'd go in a heart beat.

But we already have one of those precious pups and I have to think about him too. So, we take it slow. We build a good foundation. And when the time is right, me and Seokmin will come to you. I promise, Jungkookie. You will have both of us."

"No more running away?"

"No more running away."
