The Kissing Booth : Fallout [Completed] ✅

Chapter 23

JUNGKOOK

It's been almost a month now and my son, Taehyung has not come home. I had expected him to at least reach out to his appa if not me, but he's being stubborn and only communicating with his siblings. And now that he works at a different hospital, I don't even have the luxury of seeing him at work anymore.

Of course I miss him. He's my son. I love him and I'll never forget him. I had nurtured him with my body and my love. I had also been deprived of his love for 16 years. Years that I would never get back. And now he was deliberately staying away from me.

I know what I said. But, can I be blamed? I said it out of anger and disappointment that he had chosen Namjoon over us, his family. Don't we deserve his love and his trust? What had Namjoon done to earn that? Nothing, in my estimation. He didn't deserve my sweet angel son.

"Poppy, please tell me that you're not stressing again? I can see how affected you are by this. Why don't you just call him?" My gorgeous lover, Jin said.

I looked at him sternly and he looked away, sighing heavily. I knew what was coming next. He would always try to make things better. I know he missed our son. But I just know that he's choosing wrong and I can't see him get hurt again. Maybe this fallout was necessary for him to see just how wrong his decision is.

"Come sit here baby," Jin gestured for me to sit with him.

I walked over and sat in his lap wordlessly. He hugged me to his chest and I trembled, crying softly.

"I miss him my love. You know how I worry about him. Jimin is different. He's stronger. He can take care of himself but my Taehyunggie, he's such a softy. He was so broken when Namjoon hurt him back then. Why would he go back to him?"

"Poppy, you're forgetting how you were when we fell in love. You would have done anything and everything to be with me. You were even prepared to marry Min Jee and have our baby in secret. Remember?" Jin rubbed my back gently.

"I know what you're getting at love. But this is different. Namjoon is playing with him. He doesn't love our baby. He's going to hurt him," I was adamant.

"Can I ask you something my angel? When I left Busan, weren't you hurt?"

"Yes. I was broken Jin. I felt used and I hated you. But...."

"No buts! You didn't know it was a plot against us back then. But when you saw me again after all those years of hate and pain, how did you feel? Didn't it all melt away? Didn't you trust in our love?"

"I did," I said quietly. "I thought you hated me and hurt me so badly but I still loved you. My love for you never faded."

"Then why can't you accept that although Namjoon hurt Taehyung, his love for him still didn't die? And although they were apart, they still loved each other. Maybe their situation isn't exactly the same as ours but the premis is surely the same. In his own twisted way, he loves our son. If he takes care of him and truly loves him with all his heart, why should we object?"

"But he's so much older than our baby," I insisted. "What if Taehyung wants to have kids some day but Namjoon doesn't? He already has a child. And he's too old to care for strollers and nappies!"

"Now you're conjecturing on things that haven't even happened as yet baby. Let's give them a chance. I know it's hard for you to accept. Hell! I can't wrap my head around the fact that it's  one of my oldest friends but even so, I'm willing to give him this chance to redeem himself." Seokjin said.

He leaned down and kissed me tenderly. I wilted in his arms. I love my Jin so much.

"I will try okay. Maybe I'll give him a call."

"That's better my sweetheart. I love you so much."

He kissed me again and I smiled softly before getting up and calling Taehyung on my cell.

Papa?

My sweet baby angel. He sounded so sad and unsure. I'm such an idiot. How could I reject my own child that way. I wiped a stray tear away and Jin squeezed my hand reassuringly.

Yes, my baby. It's your papa

Papa.....I-I'm so sorry. Please forgive me papa. I-i love you.

I could hear him crying softly and my own tears flowed easily. Jin held onto me as I sobbed into his shirt.

No my baby....ppapa is sorry. Papa loves you so much. Will you ever forgive me?

Please papa....you did nothing wrong. Please forgive me papa and Namjoon too. I know it's hard for you to accept him, but he loves me papa. He truly does.

I wiped my tears away and sat down on the couch. Jin watched me without comment.

Does he take care of you baby? I hope you're still not being meek and submissive with him.

His quiet laughter warmed my heart.

No papa. There's no contract and he does take care of me. In fact, I'm at a spa right now. He bought me a package to spoil myself. Why don't you join me papa? We can spend some time together.

I'd love that baby. Text me the address and I'll see you in a few.

Jin eyed me sceptically as I cut the call. I smiled widely and placed a soft kiss to his lips.

"I'm going out. Don't wait up," I winked at him and he laughed lightly as I got my keys and waved at him. I love my Jin too much. He thinks that I've given him the greatest blessings in his life but he has no idea that he's the greatest blessing of my life.
