Chapter Five
"Smiles"

"Eunji I don't have to time to argue with you I'm going school." Yoongi said through the phone, picking up his bag.

"Why do you even go to school? You're a good one-night-stand, you can live off of that," Eunji muttered, making sure Taehyung wouldn't hear. Yoongi could feel his eyes glossing over. He despised the way Eunji abused him even when they weren't together. They spoke only to discuss who took Taehyung out that day. And it somehow was always the person who didn't even like the child.

"Taehyung better not be in the room Eunji. Just drop him off here after 4 if you can't look after him... I can rearrange plans, I think." Yoongi ended the call and pulled on his rucksack and coat. Meeting his friends could wait if it was for Taehyung.

Why does Yoongi go to school even if he's an adult? Simple. He wants the education he never had. Eunji and Yoongi fell in love young, and when Eunji wanted to get married Yoongi had nothing against it. So they did. In those five years of marriage the only good was Min Taehyung and that's how Yoongi realised he didn't love Eunji. He didn't love the person who verbally abused him daily and stole his education, he couldn't. So now, he wants to bring back all things he had missed. He wouldn't quit his job, he loved the café, but he wanted to say he got through his school years proudly.

"Mhm bye love you."

"Shut up."

"Appa!" Taehyung squealed as he ran for a hug. Yoongi complied, picking him up, swinging him around and resting the boy on his hip. He glared at Eunji.

"I said after four when I am at home. Not when I'm at school dumb prick." Eunji rolled her eyes and sped off in her car, not forgetting to throw Taehyung's bag out.

"Mummy said I can stay longer this time!" Yoongi smiled at his son's excitement.

"Really? How long?"

"Two weeks Appa!" Taehyung squealed, hugging Yoongi tighter. Could you tell Taehyung had a favourite?

"Appa are you gonna see Namu tomorrow?" Yoongi checked the date on his phone, it was, indeed, Tuesday.

"Oh? I guess so, why?" Taehyung kicked his legs a little and looked down.

"Dun tell Mummy bu' I planted some flowers in da garden for da bees..." Yoongi's mood lowered. Eunji just couldn't accept the fact that Taehyung was a child. She never brought toys for the boy, never took him to the park, she didn't teach him about animals— nothing. He was just an accessory for her.

"Well you can leave flowers here. How about we go to the shops tomorrow and we'll get some flowers for the balcony and around the flat, yeah?" Taehyung lit up and nodded, Yoongi kissed his forehead. "Remember if there's anything you want you just gotta ask, okay?" Taehyung smiled. "You know I think you have the best smile in the whole world. Nothing makes me happier than your smile," Yoongi said.

"Th-then TaeTae gonna keep smiling for Appa!"

"Smile when you need to smile baby. It's okay to be sad." Yoongi felt tears burn his skin slowly. "It's okay to not be okay."
