BARE SOULS

You don't know me!

Yn: *takes Aria and puts her on her lap facing towards her* *sighs before starting* Do you love me Ari?
A: *confused, tilts her head* Yes mommy. I lob you so much.
Yn: So when I was a baby I loved Grandma and Grandpa just like you love me now. And I became a big girl, *thinks* like aunty Dara and I loved a guy. We got married and you are our baby.
A: The guy is my daddy?
Yn: *nods* But baby we only had you together, he didn't love us. How should I tell it, would you like it if I don't love you?
A: *nods and pouts* No. Mommy lob me.
Yn: Yes baby, I do. So, when that guy don't love us and don't want us, we are not friends any more.
A: *gets dull* So I don't hab a daddy? *pouts*
Yn: POV: How should I tell it to her?
Yn: Ari, listen to me carefully okay?
A: *nods*
Yn: A father is someone who loves us and cares for us and that can be there for us as a part of the family. He's like mommy's one and only ultimate best friend and you might not necessarily find him just by calling him 'daddy' he might be already there for you and-
A: So Kookie is my daddy?
Yn: *completely shocked* POV: H-how did she-?
A: Kookie say you me and him are best friends. So Kookie is my daddy?
*Jungkook just approaches them from behind and his trails stop as soon as he hears Aria's question. He stays still while Yn and Aria had no idea about his presence. He wasn't sure if he should go to them or go back, he low key wanted to know what Yn's going to answer. Even before he decided what to do, Yn started answering and he listened to everything*
Yn: *smiles warmly at Aria* Do you want Kookie to be your daddy?
A: Yesss! *all cheerful and excited*
Yn: *chuckles* And why is that?
A: He is our best friend and lob us. He even got me legos.
Yn: *laughs* Then what about Taetae and Jimin they are your best friends too right!? Why do you want Kookie to be your daddy?
A: *thinks* Ummm, Mommy.... taetae and Jimin o-only my best friend but only Kookie your best friend and we hab Kookie ring too. *pulls out her necklace*
*Jungkook couldn't help but smile to himself while listening to the little girls talk between Yn and Aria. He eventually starts tearing up*
Yn: *chuckles and pecks her forehead* You do have your clarity huh? You never fail to surprise me Ari. So you say Kookie love us?
A: Yesss!
Yn: And do you love Kookie?
A: Yesss! *mumbles while pouting* But he didn't let me win today.
Yn: *chuckles* It's okay to be mad on someone you love Ari. You can love them and still be mad.
A: Mommy?
Yn: Hmmm?
A: If Kookie is my daddy then you marry Kookie already?
Yn: *smiles* No. *pauses* Not "yet"
*Hearing that not yet from Yn, he couldn't express how happy these two made him at the moment, other than shredding a few happy tears*
A: *nods* C-can I see that guy?
Yn: *shook* Which guy?
A: My old daddy.
Yn: *chuckles awkwardly* O-okay. *pulls out her phone and shows her a picture*
A: BAD GUY!
Yn: You remember?
A: *nods* Yes!
Yn: *sighs* We don't give them names okay? You should not say that. *caresses her cheek* All that matters is the people who care for us. If somebody doesn't care you shouldn't hate them, just let them go. *pauses and chuckles* Look at me telling you random things that you won't even understand or remember.
A: No mommy. I undersand. No gibing names. Only people who care matter.
Yn: *surprised chuckle* Well you are one smart kid aren't you? *kisses her cheek making her giggle* *looks at her face and then hugs her tiny body* I love you Ari.
A: I lob you too mommy. *hugs her wrapping her tiny hands around her neck*
Jk: Mind if I join?
Yn: *shook* W-when did you come back?
Jk: What? I'm not a ghost. Not long ago. *smiles*
Jk: Let's go it's already been 30min, they must be waiting for us.
Yn: *nods and gets up with Aria still in her arms*
A: *steals glances at Jungkook, she couldn't decide if she should be mad at him or just go back to him as she was happy knowing that he is her fatherly figure*
Jk: *observes that Aria looks away whenever he turns to her* Aggh! Why do I feel like someone is looking at me? *teasing her*
A: I'm not looking at you. *pouts and looks away*
Yn: *chuckles at her innocence*
Jk: Who is that talking? I didn't ask them though.
A: I'm not talking to you. *talks with her mad face and buries her face onto Yn's shoulder*
Jk: *laughs* I'm sorry baby. Please forgive me. *tries to hold her chubby arm*
A: *mumbles* No.
Yn: Come on Ari. *sighs* Just give her sometime Kook. *winks*
*After eating they are now walking back to the cottage. Jimin gave Aria a piggy back ride, while Yn and Jungkook were walking in the back, behind everyone. A family passes by them, The kid seemed to be around 6 years old and was walking holding their parents' hands. Aria looks at them all along turning her head 90 degrees. Jimin observes that*
A: Diminie? (Jiminie)
J: Hmmm?
A: Can you put me down?
Jimin: *nods* Okay. *puts her down*
A: *runs to Jungkook and Yn in tiny steps confusing everybody* *holds both of their hands and starts walking between them*
*Everybody turns back to them and smiles and they continue walking. Jungkook tightens his grip around her hand, controlling the rush of emotions that he felt at the moment. After a while Yn observes that she's getting sleepy but she refuse to go to Jungkook so she had to carry her again. After Aria falls asleep Jungkook carefully takes her into his arms not waking her up and relieving Yn from the weight. They reach the hotel and Jungkook tucks Aria to sleep, while Yn got freshen up. Aria wakes up in the middle of her sleep by the time Jungkook came back. She started throwing a fit when Yn tried to freshen her up and change her clothes. Jungkook didn't interfere because he knows she won't to listen to Yn as she knows he would pamper her against Yn. After going through all the hurdle Yn somehow manages to change her into her night gown, against which Aria fought endlessly. Not being able to take in that Yn changed her dress against her will and not being able to control her anger, Aria just picked up the remote that's beside her and throws it at Yn, that's standing near the cupboard. The remote hits Yn's forehead and she winced a little. Even before she could utter a word, she could hear a loud stern voice from behind her.*
Jk: ARIAAA!
A: *flinches and get scared hearing the loud stern voice*
Yn: *looks at Jungkook that looked completely mad right now, even she was scared looking at his expression*
Jk: WHAT WAS THAT!? *walks towards Yn, picks the remote and puts it on the nearby desk*
A: *starts tearing up and eventually starts crying*
Jk: Are you okay? *places his hand on the side of her face and caresses her forehead with his thumb with concerned filled over his face*
Yn: *nods* *she observed how mad he was but how the expression changed when he faced her* Yes. It's just a remote. Don't worry.
Jk: *nods and turns to Aria all mad and walks towards the bed* *in his stern voice* IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT YOUR MOMMY? You hurt her.
A: *looks down crying*
Jk: Answer me Aria!
A: *talks between sobs* N-no.
Yn: *walks to him and mumbles* Kook, calm down. *holds his arm*
Jk: Say sorry.
A: Mommy I'm sowey. *rubs her hand against her face wiping her tears away*
Jk: Tell her you won't repeat anything like this again.
A: I not do it again. *still crying*
Yn: Come here *takes her into her arms as Aria hugs her tightly and bawls in her embrace*
A: I-I'm sowey. Don't be angwey on me.
Yn: I forgive you since you apologised right away okay? Now stop crying and lets go to bed.
A: *sniffs and nods* I-Is it hurting? *places a tiny finger on Yn's forehead*
Yn: *holding back her smile* Yes, a little. *lies*
A: *pouts* I'm sowey.
Yn: *looks at Jungkook and smiles*
Jk: *also smiles at her* Let's go to bed now, it's late already.
A: *looks at him from the corner of her eyes* *whispers to Yn* I only sleep with you mommy.
Yn: *confused* Why?
A: Kookie scady. (Scary)
Yn: Only because you did something wrong.
Jk: It's okay Yn, I'll sleep on the couch. *walks to the door frame*
Yn: Yaaah! What are you doing? *looks at Aria after Jungkook left* Ari, it's so cold outside and you want Kookie to sleep out? *sighs* Okay let's sleep. *tucks her into the bed* I'll get some water okay?
A: *nods and hugs chimmy*
*Yn walks into the living room of the suite and finds Jungkook in the balcony.*
Yn: Yaah! She's just a kid why do you take her words so seriously? Come on let's go inside.
Jk: Just put her to sleep Yn.
