The Bucket List

9

"Morning." I greet Carol and Gookie at the front door taking the diaper bag from her as she walks in. "Wow," she looks around, making herself comfort on the couch, "Your place is nice!"

"Thank you." I proudly chime setting the bag down on the coffee table. "Here," she hands me her apartment key, "If anything happens don't hesitate to go over to my place."

Knowing i won't need the key, i set it in the bowl of marbles on the coffee table, nodding. "Also if you want you can grab his crib or more toys if you want."

"Okay." I giggle as my phone suddenly vibrates in my jacket pocket. Pulling it out i turn on the screen to see a message from Hoseok. I immediately smile and work on sending him a reply.

Hope😍:

I know you're probably sleeping now, but i found time and wanted to let you know I'm still alive!

Me:

Hey hopey 😂

Hope😍:

Holy shit-

Shes awake!

Me:

Yep! Im babysitting!

Hope😍:

Who in their right mind would let YOU babysit their child?

I sneakily snap a photo of CC and Gookie sitting on the couch and send it to him.

Me:
Her name is Carol and she's my neighbor.

Hope😍:

Is she single? 😏

I can't help feeling jealous at his comment, shoving my phone back in my pocket sadly. "What's wrong?" CC looks up at me with a worried expression.

Sighing i open my mouth to speak, "Seok thinks your cute." I pout crossing my arms and she laughs, "He's probably trying to make you jealous," she says pulling me to sit next to her, "That's how guys work."

"He asked if you were single." I give her a defeated look and she rolls her eyes, "Do you know anything about men?"

"Nope." I shamelessly shake my head and she laughs, "It shows," She says handing me the baby, "But i have to go to work now so take good care of my little man." She kisses his forehead before standing up.

"Of course," i follow her to the door, "Have a great day! Ill see you later." She sends me one last smile before disappearing down the hall.

Shutting the door i make my way back inside, sitting on the couch with the baby, "What should we watch Gookie?" I set him on my lap, his back against my chest as i turn the TV on.

Surfing through the channels, i find some cartoons and turn the volume up a bit. A cute squeal leave Gookie as he claps his hands at the brightly colored characters in front of us.

I giggle at him before the familiar sound of buzzing comes from my phone. Groaning slightly, i take my phone out to see yet another message from Hoseok.

Hope😍:

I'm guessing so?

Me:
