My Daughter's Teacher | Taekook

Play

Being Minjun's first Christmas, and with Asami landing the role of Mary in the upcoming school nativity play, Taehyung has never felt more Christmas sprit than he does in the moment. This would be his third Christmas that he's spending with Jungkook by his side and he couldn't believe how much had changed already, his life really has never been brighter than it is now. All the years Taehyung spent alone in his small house, eating some cheap 'meal for one' as if he was in some sad movie, just begging for something or someone to take him out of his loneliness he didn't know the universe had all of this lined up for him. For that, the silence and the tears were worth it.

"Are you ready?" Taehyung walks into his and Jungkook's bedroom after making sure both of the children were ready for their Sunday ice cream outing, the cold will never stop the tradition. He finds the younger on the bed staring at a sheet of paper, and he already knows exactly what he's looking at. "You'll burn a hole into that if you keep staring at it so much," he jokes.

"Huh? Oh, yeah... It's just-" Jungkook pauses, folding the piece of paper back up and setting it on top of the nightstand. "With Christmas and everything I can't help but just be so grateful that she's actually mine, you know? I wondered what it would be like if the results were different, how I would feel going into this years Christmas and if that bitch would try and take her away from us to spend the day with them..."

"Well, don't think of all that. The test proves that she's yours, and that woman is out of our lives for good. You don't have to think about anything else other than spending the festive season with your family."

"How do you know that though? What if she comes back wanting to be in Asami's life now that she's got this new baby despite the fact she's not Yugyeom's child?"

"Oh that definitely won't be happening," Taehyung states confidently, making Jungkook raise an eyebrow in question. "Okay I didn't tell you something, but I only didn't tell you because I knew it would only piss you off more and-"

"Didn't tell me what?" Jungkook interrupts, impatient to know what Taehyung has been hiding from him.

Taehyung takes a deep breath, hoping Jungkook won't be mad at him for keeping something from him as he looks down at his hands in his lap. "Well, when I took Minjun to that baby music class last month I might've run into Jihyo..."

"You what?"

"She was saying all this shit about wanting to be more active in Asami's life if you weren't her father, that she was going to get custody of her if they were her parents instead... I kind of went off on her, I told Chim to take Minjun away so I could tell her some truths and tell her to never come near us again."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Jungkook asks, genuinely confused as to why Taehyung would keep it to himself.

"Well at the time I didn't want to put more stress onto you, we were still waiting for the results and knowing that there was a tiny possibility of a custody fight if she wasn't blood-related to you would only stress you out more and I was trying to protect you from that. But then when we got the results I was kind of childish, and I was too embarrassed to tell you everything because I was scared of you thinking less of me..." Taehyung bites his lip, slightly jolting when he feels fingers lightly gripping his chin to make him look up.

"You're the most amazing person in my life, how could I ever think less of you?" Jungkook softly says. "What happened afterwards?"

"I- uh- I got her number from one of the moms I saw her talking to at the music class the week after, said I needed to get in contact with her about some babysitting she needed me to do but I 'lost her number'. When I got home I kind of sent her the picture of the results along with the emoji of the middle finger... I know it's SO childish, and when the anger calmed down I felt so stupid, I-" Taehyung is cut off by Jungkook bursting into laughter, the action completely throwing him off guard. He stares at his laughing husband, wide-eyed and confused until he finally speaks to end his confusion.
