How I Met Your Father / Taejin

♡16♡

Seokjin's POV-

Since when did muscle-bunny and wide-mouth become so friendly with each other?

And Kim Taehyung!
I can't believe the nerve of this guy. How could he not remember a single thing he said last night?
All that sweet talk was just because of the alcohol?

He..didn't actually mean any of them?
If he did, he wouldn't go so far as to forget everything...right?

Did I get too excited over nothing?

I can't help but feel a slight sting in my chest.
Why is it hurting? This sucks.
I hate this.

This is why I hate being open and vulnerable to people. I'm safer putting up my walls high like I've done all these years.

"Papa?"
ChiChi's tiny voice appears from behind me.
Her pout and puppy eyes tells me that she's worried. She's so young but she can always catch if I'm in a bad mood.

I put on a smile to reassure her.
"Are you still hungry, Chi? Do you want another pancake?"

She hesitates for a bit but nods slowly. I chuckle. She'll never says no to a second helping.

I watch her closely as she munches on her breakfast.

Hoseok sits down besides us a while later after cleaning the tables. He's getting the tiniest bit better at this job..as long as he doesn't go near any hot drinks or the oven.

"Seokjin-ssi, we'll be closing earlier today, won't we?" He asks grinning.

"Um, it's Costume Day at school. But why would I close the cafe with you here?"

"Ahh, come on! I wanna come and watch too. Lil Chinkerbell is gonna be snow-white. I don't want to miss that!!"
He whines pinching ChiChi's puffy cheeks and she giggles in return.

"Aren't you dressing up too? What are you supposed to be?"

"I'll dress up as one of the dwarfs to match with our snow-white. The kids are still shy since it's their first play and all. The teachers asked us to play along with it so the kids won't be as nervous."
I shrug. Pre school is no joke.

"I wonder what Teacher Taehyung is gonna be then." Hoseok chuckles quite amusingly making me a bit confused.

"I'm sure he's used to costumes. He must have worn them alot during his performancesss...
umm..
I mean he's a preschool teacher...so..
They get trained for all kinds of things, don't they?"
I shrug again.
It was Hoseok's turn to look confused now.

I'm still mad at him.
But I'm curious to see what he's gonna be dressed up for later.

Not that I'll find him cute or anything.

I'm just curious.

"Come, ChiChi. Let's go get you in the bath now. We should start getting ready early, hmm? Come, come."

Taehyung's POV-

"Before I start teaching you anything about scoring Seokjin hyung's peachy butt-"
The brat infront of me halts and exhales dramatically.
