Misunderstanding (Jinkook/kookjin)

Coming Back

I stare at the building in front of me, after three years I'm back in Seoul and my nerves are all over the place. A gentle hand on my shoulder quickly breaks me out of my thoughts.

"Seokjin, Are you feeling alright?" I hear his voice close to my right ear and instantly relax, I turn and smile at him, loving how his dimples pop out at soon as our eyes meet.

"Yes , I'm perfectly fine , no worries! Have I told you how proud I am of you?"

"You've only said it about a hundred times" his laugh comes out short and sweet

"We are very proud you" I repeat with a smile on my face as I look over at the sleeping body on my left shoulder.

"Can I down now? I promise I hold your hand and stay still " A tiny voice whispers and like always he immediately complies with my brat of son Kim Taehyun.

"Appa! This building so big!" Yells my tiny brat

"Shhh Tae, your brother is sleeping" I whisper to my son and he cutely puts a finger over his lips.

"Are you guys ready to go inside?" I whisper towards the two boys in front of me.

"Yes!" They both yell in unison

As we make our way toward the building I can't stop my self from thinking if maybe coming back here was a bad idea. That I should've stayed in California, the place where I felt at peace, so far away from all the negative and painful memories I have in this place.

Swallowing the lump in my throat I force a smile as we reach the receptionist.

*"Hello Welcome, how can I help you today?" She smiles politely

*"Hi, I'm Kim Namjoon, I have a meeting with the CEO, I will be the new CFO"

*"Oh! Hello, yes! Our CEO is running a bit late but he should be here any minute! Let me call his secretary and he will accompany you to the meeting room"

*"Okay perfect, is it okay if my family waits in the lobby during the time of my meeting?" Namjoon asks the nice receptionist, his dimples once again make an appearance.

*"Yes of course, there's also a small indoor cafe down the hall on your left and then to your right, let me get in contact with Mr. Jung"

*"Thank you so much" Namjoon and I say in unison and the receptionist laughs while whispering out a 'so cute' and reaches for the phone as we take a seat on the comfy couches in the reception(lobby) lounge.

"Appa! I don't get all words say to her" my bratty four year old tells me.

"I know buddy, we can keep practicing okay?" Namjoon responds to him before I can.

"Okay, Jonnipa"

*"Hello Mr. Kim" a bright red head stands in front of us with a bright smile

*"Hello. I'm Kim Namjoon, so nice to meet you"

*"I'm Kim Taehyun!" I clear my throat "I'm sorry about him" I say as my pull my four year old closer to towards me.

*"No worries! It's nice to meet you cutie! I'm Jung Hoseok but you can call me Hobi"

"Appa! I ! I! I undertand what Hobi say!" He yells exitedly

*"I'm sorry, Tae is still learning Korean and gets extremely happy once he understands the conversation" Namjoon explains and "Hobi" laughs again.

*"Shall we head to the meeting? I heard my boss is in the parking garage"

*"Of course" Namjoon says as he turns towards us "I'll try to make it as quick as possible, call me if you get lost" he says as he leaves a quick kiss on Tae's forehead then he leans towards my left shoulder and kisses the sleeping almost two year old in my arms on his forehead and finally proceeds to leave a kiss on my cheek.

"Good luck" I whisper as she walks away.

"Appa! I have to use the potty" my Tae says as he starts jumping from side to side.

"Okay come on let's go find the potty " I grab his hand after I switch my sleeping baby to my right shoulder.

It's gonna be okay, everything will be okay! There is no reason for me to come face to face with him. I tell myself this over and over as we find the bathroom.

Never imagining I was walking in the lions den.
