Forget Me Not✓| Yoonmin(+18)

chapter five (part two)

When we get into the elevator, joon sneakily pushes a few buttons we don't need and people look at him disapprovingly. I should tell him he shouldn't do that but his mischievous face with his tongue between his teeth is too cute for me to care.

so I just smile at him and whisper in his ear. "apologize baby. These people are sick and can't stand too long." He frowns and pouts but says a soft sorry at the people beside us.

Hospitals usually make me nervous; besides memories of a sick joon throwing up and sleeping pale on a bed, I remember giving birth to him. I was only seven months pregnant when my water broke...because Daehyun pushed me to the ground, multiple times.

The automatic doors with the sign orthopedic above them open and I see a big room full of patients, especially old people. I guess we're not gonna see him anytime soon. I sit down at one of the few empty seats and keep joon on my lap to not take extra space. Maybe I should've have come to his workplace on such a busy day.

I take out one of joon's little books I brought and give it to him and look around. The walls are light blue and yellow and it is pretty quiet and calm. It actually doesn't feel like a hospital. 

An old woman with grey hair and bowed back smiles at me and I politely smile back. "it isn't every day I see fathers bringing their kids to the doctor instead of mothers." I gulp. Should I say it or should I keep my mouth shut to avoid trouble? Jin said it's legal now so I have nothing to be afraid of. I can't raise joon with that kind of attitude so I caress joon's face and try to be calm. "actually...I gave birth to him so..."

Her eyes widen and she looks at me with a face twisted in...disgust. She stands up with her staff and goes to sit on the other side of the room. Joon is busy playing with the finger puppet in the book so he isn't paying attention and I'm glad. At least she didn't yell or curse. I can take isolation...

I sense a stare on me and turn to look at my front where a man in his thirties is staring at me. Before I can look away, he comes to sit next to me. "I couldn't help listening to what you just said and..." I sigh. He seems nice but the nice ones are who you should be afraid of. "if you're gonna say something rude please don't say it in front of my kid." He's a little taken aback but soon chuckles. " no! not at all! I'm here to show my husband's CT scans to the doc. He's pregnant...in his eighth month and his back is really hurting him." I don't think my face has brightened that fast before. I grin so wide I can't see anymore. 

"congragulations! They're gonna come out any day now! I'm sorry about the back pain but I think it's normal, isn't it?" he grins too. his eyes sparkle while he takes out his phone, showing his wallpaper. There's a black-haired man with a bored expression but a smile in his eyes, holding an ultrasound pic beside his huge baby bump. My eyes turn into tennis balls. "are you expecting twins...triplets?!" he laughs and gets the attention of a few patients around us. "yes triplets...he's only sixth month here. The doctor was gonna let him give birth sooner but he wanted to keep them in more so they're gonna be healthy but I'm afraid it's hurting his spine." I look at him in horror. "oh my god! Femiculus pregnancies aren't supposed to last nine month even under normal circumstances let alone triplets!" his face falls. 

He puts his phone back in his pocket. "he's due for surgery tomorrow. I just hope he didn't hurt himself permanently." I smile encouragingly and squeeze his shoulder. "it's gonna be ok. He just needs to rest after and it gets well before you know it. it was hard for me to move in the first two weeks and after that, it took at least four weeks before I healed completely but the pain went on for a long time. Our bodies aren't normally made for giving birth but it's worth it, isn't it?" he nods and smiles at joon. "you seem so young. You must have given birth before the law passed..."

Joon chooses this moment to put his dinosaur finger towards the man and grin cheekily. "helloooo!" I laugh at his silliness. "introduce yourself baby." He raises an eyebrow, confidently staring the man up and down. "I'm yejoonnosaurus! What's your name?" he gets his social skills from tae and these two could never fail to make friends anywhere. The man puts his hand forward and grins, showing dimples. "I'm hyunnosaurus! Nice to meet!"

Joon's eyes brighten up instantly when the man plays along with his joke.

Joon then sneakily goes to sit on hyun's lap, not even looking at me anymore. He reads his story to him animatedly, using the finger puppets to get his point across. I lean my head back, staring at the wall in front of me. Will Yoongi get mad again and tell me to get out of his sight?

I think at least an hour passes before patients halve in number. It becomes hyun's turn and he almost looks like he doesn't wanna go in. my baby can entertain a grown man for an hour straight!

Joon comes back in my lap, putting his book in my bag himself and then cuddle me to take a nap. I caress his hair and kiss his head. I'm so lucky I get to be his dad. I hope people will accept that.

I can't feel my butt anymore from sitting down too much when the last patient comes out. I go to the young man who's typing on his computer. "excuse me...can I go see Dr. min?" he looks at me confused. "did you have an appointment?" I put joon higher in my arms. "no I'm his...friend." He nods his head. "he doesn't have any more patients for today."

I knock on the door, hearing his deep and somewhat tired voice. "come in."

I open the door and go in, silently closing the door behind me. I turn around to see his black square-frame glasses on the table while he's rubbing his face. I go forward and sit on the chair to his side for the patient. He puts his glasses back on and puts some papers away. "good afternoon. how can I help...?" his eyes finally fall on me and he's frozen on the spot. "what are you doing here?"

Well, ouch but ok I deserve it.

"hello Yoongi." I smile and wave a little at him. He scoffs and opens the top button of his black button-up shirt. "drop the formalities. What do you want?" he's harsh...Yoongi was only kind and soft with me before that happened...jin used to tease me about it all the time.

I gulp and look down. "I didn't know where to go for joon's vaccination so..." he cuts me off mid-sentence, pointing at the door. "you could've asked at the information desk. Now get out." I don't move or look up. Maybe I messed too bad. Maybe it's never gonna work with Yoongi.

"I'm sorry..." I whisper so low I can't even hear it myself. "a rabbit got your tongue?" I look up at his sarcastic comment, my teary eyes landing on his hard stare. "I said I'm sorry and I'm gonna tell everyone about him and..."

"and what jimin? Fix everything magically? Actually you know what? There's nothing here for you to fix so don't try too much."

He stands up. "now please get the...just get out."

I don't mean to cry like a baby but I can't help it when he's like this. Jin was my partner in crime but Yoongi was...Yoongi was different. I couldn't even put a name on it but he was always there and I always went to him whenever something happened. I liked to think I was special to him too since I was the only one he let sleep on his bed.

I was the only one he smiled at...that cute gummy smile.

I wipe my tears but they keep on coming. I am looking at his shiny black lace-up shoes and he's still. He slowly picks joon up and I look up at him pleadingly. "I'm sorry! I'll go now myself." His expression is hard but his eyes are red. "just follow me."

I get up and he throws a handkerchief at me and I almost don't catch it. I see my initials sewn on it in blue and my heart skips a bit. He still has it?
