Missing Appa

extra : just 💜

Jungkook was not one to shout at his children for behaving badly or punish them for their misbehaving. But he could not tolerate them disrespecting their mother. Their pregnant mother.

Of course, he would not give them the 'belt' as he believed in peaceful 'negotiation' as he called it. Parenting is not easy. Especially if you want your children to grow as 'humans'.

"Well, Jeon Daejung." Jungkook said in a stern and clear intonation. The poor boy looked at his feet. Not brave enough to face his father.

He rarely seen his father getting angry at him and his sister. In fact, he almost never get angry. But he should know enough by now that those who rarely get angry will be distinctively scary once they are. So he would not want to add more to his anger.

"Look at your father, Jeon Daejung."

Daejung bit his lower lip. Poor boy looked as pale as a chalk, the white one of course. As his eyes landed on his father furious face, he could not help his pooling tears from dropping down his cheeks.

"I-I'm sorry." He managed to mutter despite his trembling sorrowful little voice.

Jungkook sighed. "Apologising is not enough. It is never enough. You need to show it. Show that you're sorry." His gaze softened.

"Your mother is beyond tired. She is carrying your siblings. Remember when you complaint about your backpack being too heavy?"

"Mhmm" Daejung nodded as he looked at his father's pair of doe eyes. Identical to his own.

"Well, imagine carrying that all the time, even while sleeping. Won't you be tired?"

Daejung started sobbing harder. "O-omma" He felt really sorry for disobeying his mother just now. What a terrible son he is!

Jungkook sighed. He let his son cried his heart out, glad that he finally realised his mistake.

Now he looked to his left. To his naughty mischievous daughter and unfortunately too cute for Jungkook to scold. But he won't let this one slide. He doesn't want to grow up thinking it is okay to do that.

The little girl fiddled with the hem of her shirt. Trying to avoid his father gaze. She had tried to act cute. As cute as she can but it didn't work magic for her this time.

"Jeon Yeseul. Do you k-"

"Ae sowy! Ae yuv mama~ Ae sowy... Papa Ae sowy~"

Jungkook haven't started with his 'lecture' and the little girl had started crying already. She doesn't like this version of him. She wants her father back. If it means that his father will turn into this unrecognisable persona every time she misbehave, she swears... She will never do that ever again!

"Listen. You are here because of your mother. Well, I had a big part in creating you guys too but... She was the one who carried the two of you for nine months. Can you pay her back for that? Never. You may give her everything in this world but they won't be enough to pay for her sacrifices. Do you understand?"

Both Daejung and Yeseul nodded as they cried their eyes out. The sounds of sniffling and apologies fulled the room.

"Oh my! What happened here?!"

The children looked at their mother who just came into the kitchen, puzzled with the condition of her children. They ran immediately into their mother's arms, crying like there are no tomorrow.

"What had happened while I went to the bathroom? Yeobo?"

Daejung shook his head. "I'm sorry, omma. I will not complaint about your foods ever again. I will not skip a meal! I will always be thankful... I'm so sorry, omma..."
