Wandering Heart | YoonJinKook ✔️

26. It Lingers

Seokjin's Pov:

I looked at my phone, hitting the ignored button as soon as I saw it was Yoongi calling me, I don't think he understood that we were over. Every day he called me, without missing a beat, but I was done with him, and if he didn't stop, I was worried I would have to block him.

The kids were coming home to me today. My entire week was spent redesigning home as a whole. I removed everything that reminded me of the past when Jungkook and I lived together.

A lot of the redesigning was spent in the bedroom, he had some stuff remaining in the closets too which I dumbed. After we had gotten divorced, I didn't have the strength to touch them, but now, moving back here, I no longer wanted to see them.

That was one of the reasons why I moved in with Yoongi too, I wanted to get away from this place. The memories that lingered here had been too much for me, and I did not want anything to do with them or Jungkook.

I was now happy with how the place looked, I got some of the walls repainted. Thanks to Jimin and his recommendation, the workers were able to get things done time before the kids were due to be back home.

A huge part of me was concerned about how they were going to react to living here. I know my daughter wouldn't care much, she didn't seem to care about anything, she was quiet, and hardly a noisemaker. I love that about her, though, because when Jae went to school, and Yoongi to work, it was easy for me to focus on my school work.

I stopped wiping down the kitchen counters when I heard the doorbell ring. Dropping the towel on the counter, I made my way towards the door and stopped. Jungkook was probably by the door, which means I would have to see him. I hardly saw him when I lived with Yoongi.

Yoongi usually collected the kids for me, I think now, I would need to create some new rules. Only having him drop them off, but not getting out of his car. Jae was old enough to hold his sitter's hand and bring her inside the house. I wanted to limit as many interactions with him as possible.

Taking a deep breath, I entered the alarm code, and wrap my hand around the door handle, pulling the door open.

"Appa!" Jae jumped towards me, almost pushing me into the house with the force he hugged me with.

I wrapped my arms around him and leaned down to kiss his forehead, "someone missed me."

"I miss you a whole lot, but daddy made us have a lot of fun. I brought you a bracelet I made for you, do you want to see it?"

"Sure, sure." He pulled out of my hands and turned to Jungkook, who I looked up to look at for the first time in a long time face to face.

He gave me a small smile, and I moved my eyes to my daughter was laying against his chest, with her thumb in her mouth, looking at me with her eyes gleaming.

"Dad, can I have my bag?" Jae asked Jungkook.

"It's in the car," Jungkook told him pointing towards the car door that was opening, Jae bag halfway out the car, leaving me to believe, he had left it there in a rush out of the car.

He smiled wide and ran over to the car, zipping the bag open as he started searching through it. I wished I had told him to wait until we were in the house to show me the bracelet, but he had seemed so excited.

"You moved back home?" Jungkook questioned, pulling my attention away from Jae.

I removed the smiled from my face and stared at him, "What is it to you?"

"I am only asking Seokjin, considering I didn't expect to return the kids here."

"Yes, I am now living here, in my house. Do me a favor will you, and please stop the cleaning people from coming, they are no longer needed, I will hire my own if I need them here. The lawn, garden, pool, outside of the home, and tree maintenance, I will still leave to you as that was outlined during the divorce. Anything within the house I will take care of, thanks for keeping it in place up until now.

Also, please ensure I get a schedule of when they are coming to take care of the outside of the home. I don't want any surprises or anyone popping up to my house without my knowledge." I was thankful my voice didn't come off as shaky as I spoke to him, I didn't like standing before him.

He looked at me and smiled, "okay, thanks for letting me know. Are you taking over the utilities or-"

"Those reside with you if I recall correctly." Did he think I forget the terms of our divorce?

"Noted. I just wanted to make sure as you seem to be making changes with discussing things with me."

I rolled my eyes at him, annoyed at his statement, "I am informing you of the changes right now; therefore, I don't understand the problem."

He signed and lowered his head, kissing Mia and handing her to me. "There is no problem. For what its worth, I am happy to see you are home. I was actually going to take you to court next month as Jae informed me of some things I wasn't pleased about, but now that it seems you got your senses in order, I won't need to do that.

Take care of our kids, and I will continue doing as I have been doing, except for what you just told me not to do.

Oh, and before I forget, so you don't throw a fit, later on, the house next door, I bought it. I wasn't exactly expecting you to move back here-"

"YOU DID WHAT?"

Mia raised her head up from my chest and looked up at me frightened, her face turned sad. I quickly patted her back, not wanting her to cry.

Jae turned to face Jungkook, and I, curiosity, filled his eyes. I am sure he was wondering why I had yelled.

"I don't want you moving next door to me with one of your little whores, my kids does not need to be exposed to that," I whispered out to him with anger, this is why I hated seeing him.

Jungkook raised his eyebrow and shook his head. "You are really funny, Seokjin. Anyway, I will see you later. I refuse to argue with you in front of our kids, I think you and Yoongi have done enough of that."

My mouth fell open as he walked away. It was clear Jae had been telling him things. 

I watched his back as he walked to his car, I never knew a person who existed that could make me as angry as he did.
