Secrets [NAMJIN]

"Come on! Ring the bell!"

"I'm trying, okay?"

Eunha rolled her eyes, "I can see you on the screen. You aren't even close to the door."

Jungkook sighed, "If you can see me then just open the door."

Eunha laughed, "No! You'll ring the bell. That's it."

Jungkook groaned and kicked the pebble, "Fine."

As Jungkook rang the bell, Eunha ran inside and sat on the couch. Namjoon came out and sighed at Eunha, "At least open the door."

Eunha just shrugged and followed Namjoon as he went near the door. Namjoon looked back and raised his eyebrows. Eunha signalled him to open the door. Namjoon shook his head and opened the door. As he saw Jungkook standing there, his eyes lit up. He smiled flashing his dimples and teary-eyed and hugged Jungkook tightly, "Gosh, I missed you."

Jungkook awkwardly hugged back with a lot of hesitation.

Namjoon broke the hug and called him into the house. Jungkook followed Namjoon followed by Eunha.

"Whaa! Dad, you really forgot me as soon as you met your older son." Eunha said in an offended tone.

Namjoon looked at her and smiled, "Maybe..."

Eunha gasped, "Aish, at least pretend to be sorry." She whined but sat with them.

Jungkook laughed at the father-daughter duo. "I thought you would be all serious and boring."

This time Namjon gasped and Eunha laughed with Jungkook. He sighed and looked at Jungkook, "Did you eat lunch?"

Jungkook shook his head. Namjoon clapped, "Great. Then I will cook lunch for you."

Jungkook's eyes went, "You mean you will order lunch, right? You won't really cook it, right?"

Eunha laughed, "Dad learnt how to make food."

"That's right," Namjoon said cookily.

"After burning two house, a kitchen and lots of pans," Eunha added.

Namjoon looked at Eunha, "Aish. Was it necessary to add it? this is embarrassing."

Both the kids snickered and shared a high five. Namjoon shook his head and sighed. Namjoon went to the kitchen and Jungkook followed him there. "I hope they don't fight." Eunha sighed and went back to using her phone.

Jungkook sat on the counter as Namjoon moved in the kitchen skillfully. He chuckled, "You really learnt how to cook, huh?"

Namjoon nodded, "Couldn't leave Eunha eating cup noodles every day."

Jungkook nodded, "You always liked her more, didn't you? That's why-"

Namjoon paused from whatever he was doing. "That's why what?"

Jungkook gulped and continued, "That's why you left me here and only took her to the states."

Namjoon turned back and smiled sadly, "I didn't leave you behind. I trusted you to be an adult. I only took Eunha because I knew Jin hyung would not open up to anyone, but you. You were always her favourite. he practically raised you even before we became a thing. He loves you more than he loves me and Eunha combined. I thought you would be by him when he was broken."

Jungkook's eyes were teary and looked away, "I am sorry. I thought- I am so sorry for running away."

Namjoon patted his head, "It's okay. It is in the past now. You are still my bunny. Though you really did bulk up, huh?"

Jungkook wiped his tears by his sleeves and nodded, "I joined the military. I had to bulk up."

Namjon smiled and ruffled his hair, "I am proud of you."

7 people sat in the cafe and brainstormed the ideas of how to make Namjoon listen to Seokjin and how to make Seokjin talk. Till now there were many ideas and their possible outcomes. Eunha sighed and took a sip from her hot chocolate through a straw. She scratched her head, "Ugh! Why is it so hard?"

Jungkook hummed as he scanned the ideas in a notebook, "Well, we don't exactly know why Jin hyung left."

Everyone looked at Yoongi, who looked at them with an owlish gaze, "What?"

Yoonji rolled her eyes, "You know why he did that. Just share it already."

Yoongi leaned back in his chair, "Aish, for the nth time, it's not my story to tell."

Before Jungkook could counter him, Jimin interrupted, "Well, even if Namjoon hyung gets to know, it would be enough to get them together."

"I think we should go the same old school way." Everyone looked at Hoseok. "We set them up on a blind date."

Taehyung shook his head, "Not gonna work. Namjoon hyung would leave as soon as he would see that the blind date was Jin hyung."

Eunha huffed and sank deeper into the chair. Then she saw Heuningkai coming towards her. She sat properly and smiled, "You didn't leave? I thought your shift ended."

Everyone looked with a knowing smile at them. Heuningkai laughed nervously, "Actually, I was going to leave, but then a friend showed up and I had to stay. And now I thought that it's already evening, so you must be going home. We can walk back together."

Jungkook butted, "No. I will drop her off. You don't have to worry." He gave an obviously fake smile.

Jungkook winced as he felt a kick on his leg under the table. He looked at Yoonji who smiled at him, "No... Kookie oppa, you promised to have dinner with me." She looked at Hueningkai, "You can drop her off. That would be a great favour actually."

Heuningkai bowed, "No, it would be my pleasure." He looked at Eunha, "I'll wait till you finish."

Eunha suddenly gasped and her eyes became bigger, "Oppa! You gave a great idea. Thank you."

Heuningkai became confused, "Me?"

Eunha turned to the group, "We will set them up on a blind date with different people. If there would be another person, dad would never leave because it is rude. And appa would be jealous enough to tell him his reason."

Yoongi hummed, "That's cliche, but I like it. We will really have to go old school."

Eunha smiled brightly, "Let's find perfect people for this. It has to work."

Hoseok looked at her with concern, "What if this doesn't work?"

Eunha's smile dropped and she looked at her lap, "I will accept fate."
