Forget Me Not✓| Yoonmin(+18)

chapter thirty three (part three)

I park the car Yoongi left home today for us, listening to joon talking excitedly with Jina while she baby talks nonsense and makes him happy. It's so cute watching these two these days. I can even bribe joon with holding her if he does well on his maths quizzes and it's been paying off.

I look at the restaurant and gasp at how expensive it looks. I get out, joon opening his belt and coming out after me while I get jina out of the car, securing her hat to protect her head from the cold and kissing her nose.

My soft baby girl.

I hold joon's hand going in, saying my name and being directed to a private room.

He's sitting at the table, tying on a laptop furiously, a concentrated look on his face. I clear my throat and his head snaps up, smiling immediately. "hi! Sorry I got caught up in work..." he closes his laptop, putting it aside and standing up. joon is already hugging him and he picks him up...one of the few people who can support his weight these days. He groans doing so, kissing his forehead. "strong boy...are you taking care of your daddy and sis?" joon nods enthusiastically, clinging to him like a koala. "jina is cute!" thanks for the information joon.

Namjoon chuckles at this, putting him down on a seat and approaching me. why the hell is he so tall? And who did I take after in the height department?!

He raises his hand awkwardly and pats my head and I roll my eyes, going past him to put jina's seat beside joon on the table and sit down myself. "I have to take jina for vaccination later so let's make it quick."

He clears his throat, sitting in front of us at the table, looking deflated. I can't help myself...I just can't forgive him for abandoning me.

He rubs his nape, looking down. "ok...right. I wanted to tell you about the hospital I'm funding...yoongi's gonna be on the managing board."

I scoff, not believing how absurd he sounds. "yoongi's doing fine on his own...doesn't need to receive favors like this." it's not an opportunity to normally happen to a young doctor like Yoongi...

He blinks. "he said he wanted to spend more time with you and the kids...isn't it what you wanted? He can have more time off this way."

I look away and see joon playing with a laughing jina. He kisses her every two minutes. "why do you try to fill the void with money? First with tae and now Yoongi! I needed you when I was young and helpless, not your money and especially not now! stop treating your child like a charity case!"

He said Yoongi said...do they talk?!

He seems so sad and broken from my words but I can't find it in me to care. I need answers...good ones.

He looks down again, seeming in thought. "I know you don't like it but...I'm gonna do it anyway. I'm an old man and I want you to have everything I own. I want you to live comfortably with your family...happy."

I lick my lips, huffing. "you can act like a normal grandpa and be there for my kids. We don't need your money. I don't need you for anything."

He flinches, not seeming so tall anymore as he rubs his face with his hands.

He takes a deep shaky breath. "you're wondering why I never approached you and I want to tell you...though it might not be the answer you like to hear."

Jina suddenly cries out and joon gasps as he's kissing her tiny hand, lips wobbling, ready to cry cause he thinks he upset his sister. "it's ok baby...jina's just hungry."

I open the straps to the seat, picking jina up. "I need to feed her...we'll continue after."

He nods, seeming curious. "alright...I'll order for us. Yoongi said you like all kinds of pasta, right?" I purse my lips, not liking how they're buddies now.
