It was Tuesday and like usual Taehyung took his son to his favorite ice cream parlor.
"C'mon bud you have to choose a flavor there's a line." They have been standing in front of the ice cream for about 5 minutes, Taekwon can't decide on a flavor.
"Appa! They all look so good" The five year old whined.
"Okay how about the bubble gum with sprinkles huh? You haven't tried that one?" Taehyung looks at his son with hopeful eyes.
Taekwon seems to think about it for a minute but then starts nodding his head in excitement. Taehyung thanks the gods above.
Taehyung grabs their ice cream and they sit down in a booth. He loves these types of days, he loves spending time with his son regardless.
He stares at the little boy in front of him and can't help but think how different things would be if he had been in his life since day 1. If instead he would of listened to Sandra that night. They would both had been in Taekwon's life together. Maye they would both still be together...
"Appa! Did you hear me?" Taehyung had spaced out.
"What was that bud?"
"Do you wanna taste my ice cream? It's really good" He didn't wait for his father's answer he right away stood up on his seat and stretched his little arm out giggling. Taehyung let him feed him his ice cream.
"Mmm you were right baby that is good." Taehyung had just noticed the boy had a watch around his wrist and it didn't look like it was meant for a boy his age.
"Hey taetae where did that come from?" He pointed at the watch. The little boy looked at the watch then hugged it protectively.
"Uncle cho let me have it." Taehyung rose an eyebrow.
"Uncle who?"
"Uncle cho mommy's friend."

Taehyung stopped eating his ice cream. 'Uncle cho' he thought. Seuncheol it had to be of course. He couldn't help but feel some type of way. It was obvious he was interested in Sandra and he told himself he wasn't going to intervene, but now he's gifting his son's gifts? If it was a toy he would it a pass but that's a whole ass 25k watch what the hell was he thinking? He took a deep breath and let Taekwon finish his ice cream, they were going straight to Sandra's after this.

"Hey! You guys are back early!" Sandra opened the door and Taehyung and her son walked in.
"Mommy! Appa took me to get ice cream again it was so good!" The boy started ranting in excitement right away.
"You didn't bring me any?" She pouts and her sons eyes widen.
"We forgot mommys ice cream.." He pouts too.
"It's okay baby! Next time okay? I'm glad you had fun." She kisses his cheek.
She takes taekwon for a quick shower while Taehyung waits in the living room.
"Is something wrong?" She walks out after a while and Taehyung looks up.
"Why would something be wrong?"
"Well you've been quiet since you got here usually you both show up telling me about your day."
Taehyung takes a second to respond.
"Where is he?" He asks.
"He fell asleep." She sits next to him. Taehyung nods.
"Look! I know you and seuncheol been spending time together or whatever, but buying a 5 year old a 25k watch is a little ridiculous don't you think?" Taehyung couldn't control his cold tone.
"What? What are you talking about?" She looks surprised.
"The golden watch Taekwon had with him today! He told me his uncle 'cho' gave it to him. Look I don't want you to think I'm trying to get involved in whatever you two have going on, but when it involves him buying things for my son it bothers me especially those types of gifts!"
"Taehyung..."
"And don't tell me I'm overreacting or shouldn't be upset because I am!" He crosses his arms.
"Taehyung you have absolutely every right to get upset! He's your son! If we were in the opposite position I'd be upset too. Don't ever think I'd shut you out like that, but he didn't but him the watch.."
"What?" Taehyung looks dumbfounded.
"He was here a couple of days ago and Taekwon really liked the watch, he let him play with it and afterwards we totally forgot about it. I didn't realize until later and I'm sorry I didn't think tae would take it with him today."
"Oh.." Taehyung didn't know what to say because one he wasn't used to Sandra being so calm and on his side and two he was really looking for an excuse to pucnch him in the face.
"I'm glad you told me though! I want us to talk about these things that bug you. I don't want you to feel like you don't have a say on anything because you do!" She gets closer to him and he freezes. "All you have to do is tell me..."
Taehyung stares at her. He moves a bit closer and she doesn't move away. Why isn't she moving away? He thought.
"Thank you!" He whispers really lightly.
He's expecting her to move away. They're way too close. Too close for her liking he'd think, but she wasn't moving away. His heart starts beating faster. He didn't want to get his hopes up, but he wants to think she wants the same thing he does. They're still staring at eachother while he slowly starts leaning in and he swears he sees her doing the same thing. Their faces are just inches apart when her phone goes off. They immediately lean back and she answers.
"Hey! Yeah I'm on my way! Okay see ya in a bit!"
"Sorry, Uh I promised the girls we'd all hang out today.." She turns to him.
"Oh yeah go ahead no worries I'll take care of Tae don't worry!"
"Thank you!" She nods and grabs her purse.
"I left you guys food in the kitchen and I'm pretty sure Jungkook will show up with Jaemin." She smiles.
