Blooming History | Single Parent Namjoon Story |

3

The next morning was a Saturday morning. Jungkook had hockey practice while the others got to stay home.

The resource center was closed, which meant Namjoon had to search for a job online. He still had his laptop and was doing research.

Harper was awake and laying on Namjoons legs, still sleepy. She laid there until Taehyung came down stairs.

His hair was a mess and he was yawning like crazy. "You should go back to sleep if you're that tired." Commented Namjoon.

"Im fine hyung. What are you up to?"

"Job search, hey even tho mom and dad are here can you watch Harper for me?" Namjoon asked.

"Sure, but where are you going?" Tae sat down next to the toddler, pulling her into his lap.

"Theres a waiter job open at a restaurant nearby, im going to go apply." Namjoon got up and kissed his daughters forehead before getting up to go get dressed.

"Well, looks like its just me and you princess, grandma and grandpa have a few things to do." Taehyung bounced the girl on his knee.

"Can we play tea party? Uncle Hobi not finish."

Taehyung faked a dramatic gasp, "he didnt? Well i guess uncle taetae has to make up for that huh?"

Harper nodded and grabbed Taehyungs hand, "gotta find tea cups!"

He held her back until Namjoon came out dressed in nice clothes, he leabed down to Harper.

"Hey princess, daddy will be back later. Hang out with uncle Taetae okay? I got your boxes out for you. I love you" Namjoon pecked her cheek and made his way out.

They said goodbye and headed to get the boxes. They found the tea set and took it down stairs.

She placed teddy, holly and her giraffe plushies in a circle,  leaving a spot for Taehyung and herself.

Taehyung smiled and fondly watched his niece carefully place everything.

"Oh! Wait uncle TaeTae! " she zoomed out of the room, seconds later she returned with a tiara, one already placed in her hair.  Taehyung got the message and leaned his head down while she slid the tiara on him.

"Can we have cookies?" She asked with a slight pout, her pout look just like Namjoons.

"Of course! What's a tea party without cookies?" Taehyung rushed to the kitchen, grabbed some cookies and brought them back.

They played tea party for hours until Harper grew bored.  Taehyung still being the kid he is, suggested a pillow fort.

He made a big fuss about how Namjoon never showed her the number one thing the brothers did as kids.

Their fort was built nice and tall, almost taking up the whole livingroom.

Jungkook returned home exhausted from practice,  he still received a tight hug from his niece. He sent a playful glare to Taehyung.

"You made a pillow fort without me??" Taehyung laughed and had a fake argument with the youngest.

Jungkook went to take a shower so he could join them, not too long after Namjoon returned as well.

Their parents following him inside. "You guys made a pillow fort?" Asked Namjoon as he hung up his keys.

"Yes we did! I cant believe you've never shown my precious niece pillow forts,  for shame Kim Namjoon, for shame."

Namjoon rolled his eyes and joined them, Jungkook joined as well.

"How did getting a job go?" Asked Taehyung.

"I should expect a call in about a week, it seems you and my little princess had a fun time together." Answered Namjoon.

Harper had fallen asleep inside the fort from playing all morning.

"Hey hyung, if its okay to ask, dont you get an insurance payment from your wife's death or something?" Asked Jungkook.

" i know what you mean, life insurance check. I do but its not enough to buy groceries, make house payment, and pay any other bills." Explained Namjoon.

He smiled down at Harper one last time before standing up, "im gonna go unpack some boxes.  Thanks for watching her while I was out Tae."

The two decided to let the toddler sleep and followed their hyung upstairs to help.

They had gotten through half the boxes when they heard a doorbell and Harper calling out for Namjoon.

Namjoon hurried down the stairs and scooped her up before going to the door.

"Uncle Yoon!" The little girl reached out.

"Harper!" Yoongi laughed and took her into his arms. He hugged her tightly before attacking her cheek with kisses.

The kisses sending her into a fit of giggles.

"What are you doing here hyung?" Asked Namjoon.

"First of all, I just got off of tour and wanted to see mom,dad and the brats. Second of all, I wanted to see this little cutie." Yoongi said , once again tickling Harper.

"Hello my little Yoongi!" His mother hugged him tightly. Yoongi blushed a little.

"Momm im not little anymore." He whined and hugged back.

"Sure you aren't, come on come say hi to your brothers. " she ushered him away, Harper being let down.

She ran to Namjoon and hugged on him. Next thing they knew, they heard a thump and saw Yoongi on the ground. Jungkook and Taehyung had tackled him in a hug.

Once they let him up, Yoongi sat on the couch and told them stories from tour. The two youngest were in awe.

There was another knock at the door, Taehyung was up and at the door. He opened the door and gasped, "TRAITOR. You left us!"

Oh, Jimin is home as well now.

"Hey not my fault." He laughed before greeting everyone.

He gasped at the sight of Harper, "oh my goodness is that my favorite niece??"

The toddler got out of Namjoons lap and raced to the oldest maknae, "uncle Chimmy! Miss you so so much!"

"I missed you too my sweet pea! Gosh you've grown up since I've seen you. I bet you can drive by now!" Joked Jimin.

The girl giggled, "silly uncle Chimmy, I can't drive!"

"Aw well thats too bad! Maybe next time." Jimin let her down.

They ended up talking for hours about how things were going and anything that came to mind.

They all had dinner together,  laughing and enjoying each other. Once they were done, the brothers played with Harper before it was her bedtime.
