Where I Belong

Ten Years Later

Jin looked around his daughter's dorm room, trying not to cry, it was Iseul's second year in college, and they were helping her move into her dorm again. The first year was challenging, but Jin found that the second year was as hard as the first. He couldn't believe his daughter was closer and closer to graduating from college.

"No crying," Taehyung whispers in his husband's ears, wrapping his arms around his waist. He kissed Jin's cheek, trying to take his focus away from thinking sadly.

Jin turned in his arms, leaning his head against Taehyung's chest, "I am going to miss her."

"You can call her and facetime her; we can fly here to visit too." He tried reassuring Jin.

Jin looked up at him and sighed, "I know, but it's not the same. Why do they grow up?"

Taehyung chuckled and kissed Jin's lips, "stop being so cute, let's finish up here-"

"Gosh, can you yall not taint my dorm room!" Iseul yelled upon seeing her parents. She had never seen two people so touchy with one another. The moment you left them alone, it was expected to find them like this.

Both Jin and Taehyung began laughing, pulling away, turning to look at their daughter. "I was comforting your father; he is going to miss you."

"Yeah, and he needed to be in your arms. With your hands on his ass, gosh, you two are too much! Yet, I get yelled at if my date kisses me on the cheek." Iseul said, rolling her eyes.

Taehyung frowned immediately, "you are young; no one should be kissing you. Your father and I are married. I don't want you doing none of that nasty stuff until you are married, young lady-"

"Iseul sweetie, did you bring your paintings? Your father and I want to help you hang them up before we leave." Jin asked, cutting Taehyung off; he knew the lengthy speech Taehyung was about to give and wanted to avoid hearing it. Taehyung was protective of their daughter too much. When she went on dates, he stayed up waiting for her, worried something would happen to her.

Jin was surprised that he agreed with Iseul going to university in New York, miles away from home. He wasn't that protective with his daughter; he trusted her judgment and knew he had given her the tools to succeed in life; if she made a mistake, it was not going to be the end of the world, it happens, and all he knew was she would learn from it. He also knew his daughter was in a stable relationship, but he would not dare let Taehyung know that he nor Iseul. They kept it to themselves.

After helping their daughter move into her dorm, Jin and Taehyung left her but spent two days in New York for particular reasons. A couple of days without kids was always their favorite.

"How were they?" Jin asked Jimin, who had taken the pleasure of babysitting for them. Before Jimin could respond, Hyun Woo and Ilana rushed towards their parents, jumping into Taehyung arms.

Jin watched, amused as their four and five-year-old showered Taehyung with kisses and then moved over to him, hugging him. "I missed you, Appa." Hyun Woo, his five-year-old son, lets out. Ilana followed her brother, letting her Appa know she missed him too.

He showered them with kisses, letting them know he had missed them and that he and Taehyung had brought them back gifts from New York, which made them happy.

"Where is Hyun Seok?" Taehyung asked, looking for their problem child.

Jimin sighs, "probably with my daughter."

Jin immediately shakes his head; Hyun Seok was fifteen but swore he was grown. He flirted a lot for a young teen and had declared at the age of ten he was would be marrying Eun Mi. Eun Mi, who was older than him, didn't deny either that she would be marrying Hyun Seok, but each time Jin watched her heart crumble as his son smiled and charmed everyone.
