BARE SOULS

GARLIC, JIN, STEVE & V

Jk: *slowly sneaks beside her, sitting on the carpet while she stood there playing* Can I play with you Ari?
A: No. *mumbles with her mad face*
Jk: Pleeaaassseeeeee.
A: You scold me. Bad kookie *stressing over the word bad*
Jk: *feels bad* I'm sorry baby. I was a bad boy. Can we be friends again?
A: NO! Taetae is my best friend. Not you.
Jk: *pouts* Noooo pleaaassseeee. *looks down*
A: *looks at him from the corner of her eyes*
*Yn observes the scene and decided to help him. Holding back her laughter, she goes to Jungkook*
Yn: That's it Jungkook, *stern* Aria is not forgiving you now. I should punish you for being a bad boy. *moves towards him harshly as if she is going to beat him up*
A: *runs to him and hugs him with her tiny hands around his neck, stepping on his lap* NOOO!
Jk: *lifts his head up and immediately holds her gently*
Yn: *serious* Why? Wasn't he being bad?
A: B-but he say sawey too. *pouts*
Yn: No Aria! I should teach him a lesson. *holds his sleeve slightly*
A: Mommy pwease, kookie is my best friend. We not fight again. We are good. *starts tearing up*
Yn: Alright then. I'm going back to cook.
Jk: *doesn't let go of Aria and hugs her tight* I'm sorry sweety. *showers her with kisses all over her face, making her giggle and burst into laughter*
*They play for a while and Jungkook looks at Yn who was busy in preparing food.*
Jk: I'll go help mommy and come back. Okay Ari?
A: *nods* Come fast. Or this monster will eat us.
Jk: *chuckles* Okay.
*walks to Yn and hugs her from the back*
Yn: *offers him a piece of carrot from over her shoulder* Are you hungry bunny?
Jk: No. *chewing* I can wait. *plants a kiss on her shoulder* I cannot believe that I yelled at you. *sad* You know I was actually tearing up when she didn't let you be angry on me.
Yn: *smiles, turns her head to the side and pecks his cheek* It's okay Kook. Don't think about it too much. *pauses* Kook?
Jk: Hmmm?
Yn: Can we go out today? I have planned something.
Jk: What is it?
Yn: Just you and me, a pleasant dinner. I promise I won't mention anything about Aria, the whole day today. *chuckles*
Jk: *smiles* Okay. Don't think that I'm a jerk but I think I'll enjoy that. But only for today.
Yn: Okay then.
*After the breakfast Yn sends Aria over to Dara's. They are used to Aria, so she just plays with her toys not causing much trouble. Yn and Jungkook spend some time together, watching movies, cuddling and talking about various things. In the evening, they dress up and leave for dinner. It was going well, they are on their main course right now, Yn receives a msg, he could see that she texted back immediately but seemed a little disturbed. After that it felt that she is distracted by something*
Jk: You okay? Who was it?
Yn: Yes. Oh nothing. It was Dara.
Jk: *smiles and nods*
Yn: *after a while* *hesitant* Kook? How long is it going to take to go back home?
Jk: Why?
Yn: Nothing, the traffic seems to be pretty hectic today.
Jk: It won't take long. Maybe 20-25min maximum.
Yn: *nods and looks at her plate of food*
Jk: *keeps looking at her, he could sense that something is off*
Yn: *breathes out making her lips into a pout, her cheeks getting flushed, controlling the tears that can well up any moment now*
Jk: Okay Yn. What is it? Don't lie to me.
Yn: N-nothing really. Eat up.
Jk: *sighs* Okay.
Yn: *sudden and calm* K-kook? *looking down*
Jk: Hmm? *looks at her with his big doe eyes*
Yn: I'm sorry to spoil this dinner, but can we go back home. *tearing up*
Jk: *holds her hand from across the table* Yes hun, yes we can. Are you okay? *caressing her hand* Are you not feeling well? Do you need anything? Is it your period?
Yn: N-no. *sighs* I know that I promised I won't mention about her *chewing her lower lip in frustration* Aria, has vomited 3 times, in the past hour and Dara is texting me about it.
Jk: *worried and panicked* WHAT? OH MY GOD YN! *gets up immediately, asking for the cheque* *walks out in a hurry Yn's hand*
*In the car now, Jungkook is focused on the road, driving as fast he could, while Yn is on call*
Yn: What is it? Is it because of the food?
D: I guess so. I think it's something with her digestion.
Yn: But this is the fourth time now. *panics*
Yn: I'll call Mimi.
*She calls her and Mimi tells them to bring Aria to her immediately. After they reach home Yn picks up Aria, who's currently very weak and crying because of the uneasiness, also turning red with a little rash over her skin. Jungkook was too shook as it was his first time experiencing something like this.*
Yn: *patting her back* It's okay B. I'm here. It's going to be alright.
*she manages to calm her down, by the time they reach the hospital. It was already late and cold. Mimi checks on her, with Yn in the room. Jungkook waited along with Dara outside the cabin and BTS got to know about it when Tae called Jungkook to ask if he's going to comeback that day*
*Jin calls Jk*
Jin: What did they say? I heard it from Mimi.
Jk: They are not out yet hyung.
Jin: Just come back to dorm after that. Yn's place is too far. I told her already.
Jk: Okay. *receives a msg from Yn* Okay, I'll hang up now.
*On msg*
Yn: Diapers
Yn: *some medicine*
Yn: *and some other things*
Yn: Kook, can you get these in the meanwhile?
Jk: Okay. Is everything okay?
Yn: They are checking the reports. We can leave in 10min.
Jk: Okay. I'll go get them.
*Going back home, Yn sat in the back seat with Aria sleeping in her arms. Jungkook checked on them from the mirror*
Yn: The rash is disappearing slowly. *holding her chubby leg in her palm*
Jk: When are the reports going to come?
Yn: Mimi said that she'll tell us in an hour.
Jk: Hmmm.
Yn: I need to juice these. *checking the fruits in the bag* I can't give her milk right away. *Aria moves a little* How can her cheeks shrink in so quick. *caressing her face*
*Jungkook just stays silent, taking in everything and partially blaming himself. Yn also falls asleep by the time they reach the dorm. V was waiting outside for them*
Jk: *looks back taking off his seat belt* *calls in his low tone* Yn?
Yn: *opens her eyes* Hmmm? We're here? *looks to the side as tae opens the door*
V: *takes the bag from her shoulder and also the bags from grocery*
Yn: *stepping out of the car, holding Aria carefully with a hand on the back of her head, while she slept with her cheek squished on Yn's shoulder* Thanks tae.
Jk: *immediately puts a coat over Aria and walks with Yn placing a hand on her back*
*It was pin drop silent when they walked towards the door. The only sound that can be heard was the wind swirling and Yn's heels clicking onto the wooden path leading to the dorm's door. Jungkook opens the door, letting themselves into the warm living room, where the rest of the 5 tired faces looked at Yn with their eyes filled with concern. A few of them get up and walk to her*
Jin: Is she sleeping?
Yn: *nods*
Hobi: Is this the rash? *hovering his hand over Aria's skin.*
Yn: Yes. It subdued now.
RM: Sit down here.
Jk: Yn? *walking from the kitchen* Which one should I juice first?
Yn: Can you seed the pomegranate?
Jk: *nods* What about oranges?
Hobi: Give them to me. I'll make that one.
Yn: Oppa! *to Jin* Can you call Mimi and ask about the reports? My phone is dead.
Jin: Ah aarasso.
*On call*
Jin: Any update Mi?
Mimi: I was actually about to call you. I can't reach Yn. Can you give it to her?
Yn: Yes Mimi. *handling Aria into her one hand and lap* *listens carefully* *sighs* Okay. I should be careful from now on. *listens again* That's it right?
Yn: *sighs* Thanks mimi. Did you go back home?
*listens again* Okay then take care. I'm giving to oppa.
Jin: Agh, Mi-Young ah did you reach? Aarasso, jalja. Saranghae.
Jk: *walking out of the kitchen* What is it? Did she say it?
Yn: *sighs and smiles* Guess what?
Jk: What? This is not the time to joke around. *serious*
Yn: *looks at Jin* She's allergic to garlic. And that's was the allergic reaction.
RM: *sighs in relief* Oh my god, it's a relief, really.
Yn: You guys should go to bed. You all look very tired.
Jin: Well good thing is that she'll be eating with from now on. *smirks looking at tae*
Yn: *chuckles* God parents for a reason.
*Aria slowly opens her eyes and looks at Yn from her lap*
Yn: Are you hungry Aria? *caressing her cheek*
A: Yes. But no eat mommy. It hurts. *places a hand on her throat* *talks in a low weak voice*
V: *pouts* I can't take this.
Yn: Okay baby. Hobi made juice for you. Your favourite. Orange. Do you want to drink it?
A: *nods*
Yn: Kook, mix the pomegranate one in that. *whispers*
Jk: Okay.
A: *drinks and makes a weird face* Not yummy.
Jk: No Ari. See? It's so tasty. *takes a sip and acts making an O with his mouth*
A: *starts crying* *sensitive because of being sick*
I don't waaaannnnttt iiittt.
Jk: *shook*
Yn: Okay okay. Don't cry don't cry. Let's go out and watch the stars. Okay?
A: *nods and hugs her neck*
*BTS slowly disperse with Tae and Yn in the balcony along with Aria*
V: *extending his hands* Do you want to come to me Ari?
A: *nods and hugs Yn, burying her face* No.
V: Okay, okay.
Jk: *walks to them with Aria's sipper in his hands* Ariiii. *trying to catch her attention, leans forward in front of her face, that is buried on Yn's neck*
Yn: You should drink something Aria. Do you not want to get well soon?
A: Mommy it hurting. *looks at her, talking with her broken voice*
Yn: I promise it won't, if you drink this baby.
Jk: Do you want to come to me?
A: *nods and leans towards him*
*Jungkook holds her, with her tiny hands on his chest and Yn hands her the sipper, earning a frowned face from her*
Yn: *sighs* She's cranky now. It's going to be a hard night for me.
V: I'll be in my room. Just let me know if you guys need any help. *leaves*
Yn: Kook, do you have lollipops?
Jk: *acting along* Yes. I do. Do you want some Yn?
Yn: Yes. I drank my juice so I can eat them now. What about you? Did you?
Jk: Oh, I drank it too.
Yn: You Aria? Did you drink yours? Me and Kookie are going to eat lollipops.
A: *looks at Yn with her head rested on Jungkook's chest* I want it too.
Yn: Here. Finish it off, we all can have lollipops.
*And finally she drinks the juice, that had the medicine in it. As promised Yn, Jungkook and Aria, sit in the balcony eating their lollipops and calming down Aria. After a while Aria drifts to sleep because of the medicine. Yn tucks her in along with Jungkook, who sang for her patting her back, in the meantime Yn gets freshen up. And then it was Jungkook's turn. After that he sits by his computer to work for a while. Assuring everything to Dara, Yn puts her phone aside and goes to Jungkook while yawning. Starts massaging his neck and shoulders.*
Yn: I'm going to sleep kook. You should too.
Jk: *holds her hand and brings her in front of him, making her sit on his lap* I'm sorry Yn.
Yn: *confused* Why?
Jk: *talks in pout* I made you choose between me and her today. Something I never want to do.
Yn: *smiles playing with his hair* It's okay Kook. It would have been hard without you today. *pecks his lips*
Jk: *smiles looking into her eyes*
*The door suddenly opens and Jimin enters, startling Yn and Jk. Yn immediately gets up on to her feet, blushing hard*
Jimin: *awkward* Ah Mianhae. *chuckles*
Jk: Hyung! You could atleast knock.
Jimin: Sorry I was too eager to see my girlfriend *walks to Aria* And BTW it was Taehyung who opened the door.
V: *entering the room* How would I expect that you'll be making out with your kid in the room?
Yn: *completely turning red*
Jk: We weren't okay? Stop exaggerating stuff. We were just talking.
Jimin: Is she okay now?
Yn: *walks to the bed* Yes. She drank her medicine. Finally.
V: *nods pursing his lips* Well that's relief. Okay I'm going to sleep now. Good night.
Jimin: Daa tooo. Good night.
Yn: Good night.
Jk: *turning his computer and the lights off* *yawns* Can I sleep beside you?
Yn: Why?
Jk: I don't want to wake her up, considering that she's sensitive right now.
Yn: Alright.
*He hugs Yn from the back, while Aria is cuddled into Yn's neck, putting an end to one hectic weekend, they doze off in eachother's arms.*
