Forget Me Not✓| Yoonmin(+18)

chapter twenty four (part one)

Tae has come back after a month and there has been chaos ever since.

"see what you did! he doesn't like that creepy A-word doll you got him!"

Tae gasps, pushing his finger on a furious kook's chest. "F-word you! he loves dolls like that! And you know what he doesn't like? Your skinny A-word!"

I should be exasperated from their constant fight over soon but it's actually amusing to me and I enjoy watching it escalate as I sip the milk left in the cup Joon didn't wanna finish.

Joon secretly enjoys it too because it means they'll spoil him rotten in their competition to show who Joon loves more.

"you're irresponsible with him! he was this close to falling down the swing you pushed too hard!" tae's nostrils are letting out actual steam by this point.

Kook seems genuinely hurt; he was really scared and guilty yesterday when it happened and tae hit him where he was weak. Not fair. He's stuttering a little, showing that tae got to him. "y...you know what? You...you need to get a life and...and get laid so you'll get your head out of your...your A-word for a change!"

Tae's face falls and darkens and I tense a bit, gulping down the milk. Kook doesn't know but he's won.

Tae opens his mouth but closes it soon after, almost running to his room and slamming the door after him.

Kook is a little surprised since he expected another smart comeback instead of the hurt in tae's eyes.

He looks at me, seeming sad with the damage he's done himself and I shrug, not wanting to get caught between these two fools. sometimes I feel like it's their messed up way of bonding.

I'm gonna check on tae later since he really seemed upset.

"what did I say? Why...why did he go away?" I shake my head at him. it's not my place to tell him why it's hard for tae to "get a life" or "get laid". He comes to sit beside me, silence filling the air, except the faint sound of the cartoon Joon's watching in his room.

"was i...too rude?"

I smile reassuringly at him. "you were both rude sweety." He scowls at me. "don't treat me like a baby." I raise an eyebrow. "you seem like you need babying...everything ok?"

He pouts, playing with a tiger stuffy. "yeah...I just...he's so intimidating and cool and I fucking stutter!"

I muster every bit of self-control inside me so I wouldn't laugh at his whining and the way he feels.

Taehyung is usually so calm and collected he makes people around him feel a bit sloppy. Kook is trying too hard to be "cool".

well, no one knows what goes on in tae's mind though...

"joon told me he loves spending time with both of you...I can't see why you too fight over him all the time." he pouts again. "but I want to be special...I'm his father."

I nod. "and he calls you papa, not tae. don't struggle with labels. You are both special to him."

He seems hesitant for a second. "have you got him a Korean passport yet?"

I nod. "yeah...sorry about that...I guess you wanted your name to replace tae?"

He nods, avoiding my eyes. "I know I don't really deserve this..."

I cut him off. "don't say it like that...it's just that I want you two to get over these things. If it's that important to you, you can talk to tae about it and work it out between yourselves...I'm sorry but I don't feel comfortable dividing things between you two like this."
