Author's PoV
12 am
Jungkook had called Taehyung but he didn't pick it up because he wasn't attending calls for work during his free time. Moreover Jk's calls were to be avoided even more
The Dom kept staring at his phone waiting for THE call
He had changed and was now lying on their bed. He was getting drowsy but the sense of anticipation didn't let him sleep till a familiar vibration sprung him up
Kooo~ (Voice softer than usual) Sorry for being late... The kids were refusing to sleep....
It's okay, Love...what are you doing?
Umm...nothing much... (a sense of hesitation) I am just walking around the...umm... the garden?
At this time of the night?
Ye-yes?
Isn't it cold? (Feigning)
Not that much...
(A shaky voice)
Funny... Seeing the temperature there on my phone it's -3°C now... You should go back inside the house... The bed must be warm right?
Yes haha!
(Awkward laugh)
I... Did you have your dinner?
Yes. Yes I did. How about you?
I did too... I don't like eating with-
Are you okay?
You seem to be trembling.... Why is your voice shivering like that?
Me? Oh no! I'm fine... You're right... I should go inside. It's cold... Haha!
I think I hear something... Is it the waves?
WAVES? Oh.. Waves? From where are you hearing waves... in the mid-midst of Tokyo? You're funny... Haha!
I don't know... Just felt like it...
So how about you? What- what are you doing today?
I don't know... Thinking about returning... I am excited to meet you on Sunday... I feel so bad for leaving you home...
Home? Homeeee! Yes home... Oh dear me! What am I thinking! I think I'm drunk-
You're drinking again? Where? I hope its not the kitchen! The kids must-
Not the kitchen! I'm not drinking! I... I just... Haha! Jungkook you are being too inquisitive today haha! You.. You should enjoy yourself more than worry about me here... I think I should talk with you tomorrow...
Why Love? I couldn't talk with you yesterday and you got angry at me the last day... Don't cut the call... I feel I should make-up for it...
Don't worry Jungkook! It's fine... I'm good. The kids are as well...
Jimin eyes Taehyung who was desperately suppressing himself from laughing out loud
Jungkook... I... I feel sleepy... Can I talk with you tomorrow?
Why? Are you that tired that you don't even want talk with me? Or is it that I didn't take you out?
NO! I WAN- want to talk.. Just that... It's late and... I... You know... The kids get up early and...
Ok fine honey... See you on Sunday then
Sure! See ya!
Good night
Night Jungkook!
Cuts call
So Kim Taehyung is now teaching my Minnie to lie... Jimin would never do this if not manipulated into doing so
Hotel Room
KOOOOOO~
BWAHAHHAHAHA!
Do you always talk like ththat
THAT WAS SO FUCKING CHEESY!
Shut up Tae!
Why? KOOOOO~
KOOKOOO~
(Laughs his ass off)
(Laughs) Get out before I kick you out... What's your room number if you could repeat?
I wouldn't say it was too bad for your first attempt at lying, just don't be too shaky next time... Oh my God! The way you talked... My!! My!!
(I do think that Jk must have suspected by the way he was trembling/ shows his card displaying the room number)
Does Koo kooo know your room number?
(Pokes his tongue)
(Ignores) 312? I will knock at your door sharp at 5 then?
Do that! See ya good night!
Good night kids! Sleep tight! We have a long day tomorrow...
Don't forget to call your Koooo~ tomorrow!
(Laughs walking)
Jimin keeps giggling as he walks out-
Hey Tae...
Huh?
Tha-thank you...
I wouldn't have had the courage to do this myself...
Well... Jungkook doesn't exactly know what's going on... I want to see his face when I tell him... But you won't! You definitely won't. I will see him... Got that?
You don't need to do this for me, you know
I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for the kids...
(A wink)
Ahh yes the kids! (A smile)
Oh! By the way Shinagawa is famous for clubs... Want to go tomorrow night? Like we are going to the local village in the morning and some monuments but at night... We can-
Jimin looked at the kids inside making Tae realise
I would have accepted the offer haha! (If only Jungkook had taken care of them for a day)
I... Let's see...
See ya
See you...
Oh one more thing!
Yes Tae?
Did... Umm... Did you get to talk with Jungkook at all?
I mean not over the phone, face to face
Not really... Why?
Did he mention something about a divorce?
Oh my! Whose?
Never mind... Good night!
Huh? But Tae-
Nothing nothing! Don't mind it...
Alright... What's up with you suddenly haha! See ya!
See you!
Jimin closes the door after Tae entered his own room which was right on the opposite side
Time
2:45 am
Home
I CAN'T SLEEP ON THIS BED ALONE! HOW DOES JIMIN EVEN MANAGE- manage... God!
Oh God!!!
I wasn't there for him
I was busy...too busy...
It's not right but did HE HAVE TO DO THIS?
He must be having fun... I hope he does but... Thinking I'm absent in that picture...
I always did things so that I could provide for the family
I'm sure Jimin understands that but... Hmmm...
But hanging out with Tae isn't right either... Over that he's lying to me! He need not lie
Shit! I feel angry... I better go to sleep
WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY PILLS?
Jk gets up, opens his laptop and starts finishing tomorrow's work
Time skip
Next Morning
5:25 am
What happened? You're smiling a lot...
(A huge smile)
Nothing... I like it here... I wish we could stay a day more or two more
OHHH! NOW YOU WANT TO STAY HERE?
Who was saying 'Noooo Jungkook will mind... Jungkook would be hurt... I don't want to-'
(Jimin puts a hand on his lips laughing out)
Ok ok I was wrong... I'm happy!
But those are facts... I'm worried a bit as well...he will react pretty bad...
As I said, I will deal with him. You enjoy your time...
You promised...remember that!
Promise! Promise haha!
(Laughs)
Where are we going today though?
You shall see... Don't worry...
We have been walking around for 1/2 an hour and your smiles just won't stop... I didn't know you would like it here so much... It was just a random thought... But then again you don't get this in midst of Tokyo...
No... Not really... The last time I had been near the sea was when I was 13 or 14 I guess... My dad had taken me...
NOOOOOO noooooooo you're lying!
No I'm not... You know my embarrassing life story... Don't make me repeat it...
(Laughs)
That wasn't embarrassing... Young people make shitty mistakes. Look at me! I do it all the time! (Pokes out his tongue)
Oye! (To So) Don't try to climb up... That's dangerous...
You think I would let go?
Taehyung finally noticed Jimin holding onto the back of both the kids' jackets
Eun: Can I buy some snacks for the trip Ma?
I have brought snacks hon...
I will buy you if you wan-
(Gets quiet/ Jimin was making a serious face)
Oh come on Minnie relax! A packet of chips won't harm them... They are kids. Let them live
So suddenly hugged him tight
S: I love you
Jimin bit his lips suppressing his laughter
See! It's so easy to buy my kids... A packet of chips is enough!
Taehyung and Jimin start laughing at each other
Let's go...
We have places to visit...
Time skip
7:30 am
Taehyung was hurrying
*On call*
Jimin I-
5 more minutes... I am sorry... I don't know how I fell asleep after coming back
Don't worry Tae. We are waiting...
15 mins
Did you have your breakfast?
I'm not hungry... It's okay... The kids and you had it right?
We did but how will-
I'm used to skipping... Keeps me in health haha!
Time Skip
9:15 am
Jungkook's PoV
Agatha called in sick and I absolutely hate the way the other maids cook
Well Jimin isn't here
I am better chef than him anyway so it doesn't matter
I will prepare a full course breakfast for myself
Same Time
Ahh... Jimin... Mind if we stop somewhere for food?
Taehyung immediately hears Jimin stuffing out something from his bag
Wha- what-
Yhank yu
(Nom nom/ he got them today as well/ thought it was a one time thing and I got lucky yesterday)
I had packed it...
Just in case...
(A smile/ lovingly)
Jungkook gets hungry often when he drives... I pack him an extra box usually under such circumstances
Taehyung keeps driving as Jimin keeps feeding him and drinks at red lights
You okay now?
Relieved phew!
I was feeling nauseous because of it...
And someone told me, he's used to it..
Don't tell me! My mum always packs lunch and when she doesn't...I share with Jungkook whatever you cook for him...When I stay out, I always take my tiffin what the chefs pack... I hate being hungry...
No one likes being hungry
That's true... I think you know what hunger looks like...
Quite well actually...
I have a huge family... Heh! Everyone says that... But family is family... You know we used to like have exchange days. Like I skip dinner one day, my mum does one day, my aunt does one day. We used to do it so that everybody could have food on alternate days... I'm talking about wayyyyy back when I wasn't in the convent with Jungkook... Later on I went in with a scholarship and at least... My fam could cut off one person's rations but the convent food was ughhh! Disgusting... My mum still made me tiffin on certain days an- and I used to share it with Gguk...
He's told me that... I wish I knew you both then...
Yeah same... We were around how much 8? 9? I don't remember actually... It's been so long...
Keep the painful memories aside and happy ones out... Hehe! How far are we?
20 more minutes max....
Thank God! My waist is cramping...
Same... I think I will end up with a headache today
Want me to- umm...
-Help?
Why are you so hesitant? It's not like I'm going to grab you and declare that you need to divorce Jungkook and marry me right away.... You know I won't do that but I can do that but I won't... Because then our lives would become a thriller movie... Lol... Imagining Jungkook turning into a hyena from a rabbit... Haha! That man sure runs fast... I would be dead even before I reac-
Ahh Tae stop stop! Enough!
They both laugh as they hear the kids at the back laughing as well
As if you both are understanding a lot...
They are smart... Aren't you two?
Eun: Imagining dad as a bunny
So: Then a hyena hahahaha!
I hope they don't repeat it in front of Jungkook that's all...
Lol... The hyena mode is coming faster tha-OUU! Jimin! Don't hit my arm like that!
Then stop talking about my husband like that silly!
Tae again pokes his tongue out laughing
Home
9:40 am
Ahhh Fuck it! Who the f cares?
I COULD FUCKING HIRE A CHEF
.
.
.
Ahh fuck that... Jimin hates anyone in the kitchen other than him or Agatha or me... He even hates me now...
Wonder what the kids are doing?
Jimin hasn't talked with me once...
I'm feeling disturbed now
Am I?
Wait
Keep it together
.
.
.
Phew!
I can't be anxious or angry
If I get angry I would lose my mind and the last thing I would want now is seeing my wife crying because of me
No
But
.
.
.
Seessh it hurts to eat alone at home
I feel nauseous... I should really have some sleep
I fucking hate these migranes
Location Skip
I still can't believe this is the same river...
Yeah this one is a tributary... It confluences with Karasuyama to form the Meguro
I see...
Come on kids! Come on... Grab my hands. Let your Ma's free for a moment...
Oh! There's absolutely no nee-
But Tae takes both the kids in his either arms as he signals Jimin to walk in front of them
You aren't used to this, are you?
NO! Not at all... It's almost worrying me to see my hands free
Jung So and Ha Eun start giggling as Tae follows them
Your Ma is a scaredycat
JS: Yes Ajusshi... He is
HE: I would like to hold Ma's hands please... Yours are not... Good...
Jimin almost jumped at the opportunity as he came immediately
YES! I- I mean sure hun! Tae give her to me... She finds comfort with me. It's better for them to be with me anyway, and I don't think you can handle them prope-
I can. Ha Eun... You want your Ma to relax. Don't you?
She nods
Can you adjust with my... Uh... Bad hands I guess for sometime?
HE: Your hands are not bad... They are a bit rough like papa's... Ma's hands are softer than both of yours. That's all. But I want him to be happy
I would be happy holding you. Come on-
(Jimin almost wanted to pick her up)
Tae however again pulls her back gently
Relax Jimin. I won't tear her hand off... Or kidnap them
Both the kids start laughing at Jimin's over protectiveness as they enter a shop
Do you want that?
No...
But you have been staring at it...
No... I was just looking at it that's all... Let's not waste money. It's pointless...
Okay...
Are you buying it?
Yes this is for mum
That's thoughtful. I bet she will appreciate it
She's going to nag her ass off of me if I don't get her something...
They both giggle at each other as Jimin heads out with the kids to wait for Tae since other visitors were also flogging in
3 mins
WHAT- what was the need of this Tae?
You were staring at it... Besides I wanted to gift you something myself...
Ha Eun: I love it
Your welcome
(A smile)
Ha Eun smiles back as Jung So pulled onto Tae's arm for grabbing his hand
But it was really expensive
Not more than your smile!
(A sudden blush)
You're such a flirt!
They both smile at each other
Jungkook doesn't flirt with you? I think I could do this all day...
Jimin speaks in whispers to him
Not usually.... But he gets straight to the bed though... Haha!
Tae scrunched his eyebrows as they keep walking
You mean he doesn't whisper lovey dovey to you anymore? Flirting? Bringing gifts? Taking you out on dates...
Umm... I think... He's too busy you know... He doesn't have that much time to begin-
Shit Jimin! You really putting up with him huh? Getting defensive... I can see that...
I'm not being defensive. He actually stays busy... You know that better than me!
What are you even saying?
That stop fricking adjusting to his every goddamn demand. You guys should be doing all those things as a couple! Just providing money isn't enough. Have you ever told him about this?
I didn't think it was possi-
So you didn't?
He is working hard for the kids and me, Taehyung. Just like you do too! It's okay if we can't do those things. Every family has backdraws. This is ours. Nothing that biggie!
You know what Jimin? It's pointless explaining to you. Jungkook used to complain that you're defensive about the kids. Today I have figured it out. It's not just the kids. IT'S JUNGKOOK TOO!
Oh God! You will try to protect anyone who is near and dear to you at your own cost! That's not even fair! Why are-
Tae stop it! I'm not here to insult my husband.... If you feel like doing that, then I would rather go home right now!
Fineee! Fine... I won't. Relax!
(Why is he telling me to relax when he's the one getting worked up?)
Yes. Do so...
Jimin calms himself down as well lest he might get harsh with him
We are going to the bay right?
Nope! The kids will love where I'm taking you next!
The Aqua Park
2 pm
Tae brought drinks but was surprised to see the other three stunned at the sight
(A/N I still can't believe such a place actually exists in Shinagawa)
WOW!
KIDS!
So: Yes Ma I can see it!
Eun: Wow... I have never seen anything like this
You two haven't even reached 10! I am 30. It's my first time seeing something like this... It's something else...
Tae almost spilled his drink
Seriously Jimin? You haven't ever been to an aquarium?
Not really...
I have seen shops though haha!
Taehyung grabbed the older's waist and pushed him forward while holding So with the other hand as Eun grabbed her Ma's
Let's go in...
They walked, quite surprised at the view as the kids stared at the roof which was also glassed and the fishes moved from one side to another
For once Jimin and Tae let go of the kids hands to let them walk just at the front
So... You have never been to an aquarium? This is your first time?
Yes! Haha! I know it's a bit embarrassing...
I had only seen such things in tv and of course photos...
You haven't been even to the Tokyo one?
There's one in Tokyo?
(Taehyung smiles)
I guess it's Jungkook then...
Not really.... I didn't get a chance to explore Tokyo much... When all the children are home together, they keep me quite occupied and I don't dare to travel with them together... You already know how they are
True... Jungkook never took you out at all?
How many days does he stay here?
How many hours I should ask lol... Even now I'm hanging out with you. Where is he?
Tae lets out another smile
He works really hard you know... That business is his everything...
I know. Work and children always comes first and I don't.. I don't really want to come in his way but sometimes... You know... Umm... I would have liked being a priority though he does speak like it... but his actions... (lowers his voice to a whisper) almost speak in a contrary direction...
So: MA I SAW A SHARK!
You saw a shark!! Show me too!
Lol...
Tae looks at Jimin standing a bit afar as he holds his kids on either side staring into the aquarium
1 hour
Gosh! It was huge!
So: Yep
Eun: Uh huh
Are we heading to the hotel then?
No!
Still left? That's nice... Where are we going?
Not us. You!
Huh?
7 pm
They had returned to the hotel for a brief rest of 2 hours and were out again
No no no! I'm not going that way Tae... You won't be able to handle the kids!
They need me... You don't understand... Besides I think-
GO! GO! JUST DO IT!
KIDS?
Eun & So: YES?
VIDEO GAMES?
Eun & So: YUSSSS! LESSGO!
No! But they-
GO! But Jimin don't drink too much okay? Dance your life out! I know you love dancing! Bye!
Oh! and call me when you feel like coming back! I will come over!
Tae! There's no need! I don't want to drink! Night life doesn't interest me anymore... I have kids! It doesn't suit me. I'm too old to-
If it suits Jungkook, it suits you too! You're ethereal to look at. Trust me!
Sssh! Bye!
DASHI RUN KIDS!
Tae holds the hands of the kids on his either side and runs off
YOU SURE?
(Screaming)
YES!
(Doesn't turn before getting into the taxi)
Jimin chuckles and disappears into the crowd to explore
Jimin's PoV
AHHHHHH! IT'S BEEN AGES!
GOD! WHEN DID I LAST DO THIS!
Oh yes! WHEN I WAS FUCKING 18!
Asked: Oh! Wait! No no! I'm married
(Shows his ring)
Not interested! Thank you for asking...
I hate this aspect of clubs
I hate hookups
God! Ouch!
Did someone touch my butt!
Why is that guy poking his tong-
THE AUDACITY!
(Shows his middle finger)
MY HUSBAND IS MORE HANDSOME THAN YOU DUMBASS!
Random dude: YOU'RE SUCH A BITCH!
SAY THAT TO YOUR MAMA!
(Gulps another drink)
God knows what the kids are doing?
Taehyung? Will he be able to handle them?
What's Jungkook doing? He hasn't called me even once since yesterday...
Hopefully he's relaxed and healthy
Why the heck am I worrying about them here? I know they are all fine...
Gets asked to dance: Oh no! Thank you! I- woooo-
They are clicking pictures! Oh my! I hate pictures taken without my permission but geez! I guess that's what youngsters are upto these days
Some of the girls drag him to dance as he gets a face stamp of the club on his right cheek
Time Skip
3 hours
Tae receives a call
You okay?
I am!
Did you not drink?
Just a little... The kids are-
WHAT THE HECK TAEHYUNG?
Eun and So had a huge smiled plastered over their faces
How did you all get so much? Tae this is too much!
Well... I earn quite a bit Jimin... Two dolls don't cost mu-
THAT'S NOT TWO DOLLS! THAT'S A BASEBALL BAT! A TENNIS RACKET! TWO BARBIES! A CHOCOLATE BOX AND I SEE MORE! WHAT THE HECK WHERE YOU THREE DOING!
So: Uff Ma stop shouting! We were playing badminton, then went for baseball.... And Tete danced with Eun- ah. They are having a children's festival in the nearby amusement park
Eun: I won one doll... Tae Tae Ajusshi bought me the other one... He is like daddy.... He dances good...
Tae had a smug look attached to his face
See? I'm a prince
Minnie wanted to bang his head on the wall but
He blushed at Taehyung
Thank you...
Well....
(Pokes his tongue out)
2 hours
The children were in their hotel room as Tae and Jimin headed downstairs for dinner
They didn't nag you, did they?
Nah! I told you I will take care. All I did was lose to them and let them compete with each other. Your daughter seems calm. She's one of the most competitive kids I have ever se-
Oh Taehyung! Thank you so much!
Thank you! I'm so grateful!
(Laughs)
Your Welc--WOOO!
He was hugged tight
He hugged back
One more minute, and I will think you're divorcing Jungkook for me! I'm scandalous you know!
Sorry!
(laughing)
The kids will be fine right?
I called in a guard outside their door. Relax... Besides they don't mess with VIPs anyway...
Why aren't you drinking? This wine is really good....
No! I had the time of my life...
Thank you so much!
(Delighted/ eats)
I will get drunk if I have anymore
Did you dance?
YES! I mean....Yes I did
(Regaining composure)
Someone is really happy. That face stamp is speaking loudly...
(Blush)
You're so cute...Wondering how Jungkook will react-
(Laughing)
He was actually joking but he saw Jimin getting nervous as he quickly ate up the food
He places his hand upon Minnie's
Relax! I will handle him. Don't worry...
You should not interfere... He will be angrier at me, if I take your help... Besides he's right in certain aspects. A mother should not go around and party like-
IT'S BEEN 9 YEARS?
Dude, you don't do that! You did it because you needed a break! Besides since when did dancing and clubbing decide a person's character? You aren't even drunk! I was expecting you to be... I bet you even worried about the kids and your husband...
Are you a psychologist?
A manipulator rather (a smirk) I confirm most of Jk's deals. I have to keep some tricks up my sleeve yo!
Sure thing...
So that means you were doing exactly as I said..
Well I don't deny tha-
That's enough to confirm. You're honest and loving Jimin. It's okay to break rules sometimes when there should not be any rules in the first place. Don't sulk over such matters and let me help! I will talk with Jungkook if needed. Okay?
Jimin lightly nods
(As if he will listen)
Did you hear about Lucetta?
Huh who?
Never mind then...
(He really didn't get to talk then)
Time
12:50 am
They were in Jimin's room
The kids were sleeping as they talked
OOOOOOOO! So he asked you out?
Yes! It was so silly and he called me a bitch!
Ahhahahahaha!
Men are like that...
Shit! Don't talk against your own gender!
They both laugh at each other
Jimin rubbed his tears off which were all over his face due to laughing too much
Wait... Jungkook didn't call me today...
I should call him...
You call him. Let me head to my room. I have a bit of work. See you tomorrow morning alright? We are checking out at 8. Okay?
Alright!
Taehyung smiled as he headed out
Tete! I'm really grateful for everything!
Send with Jungkook an extra tiffin box!
With pleasure!
Good night!
Nighty Night!
Call
Jungkook pick it up! Why aren't you picking up?
Is he asleep?
Not possible! It's not even 1!
That man goes to sleep at 4! No way...
8 missed calls
*Calls*
Agatha? Agatha has Jungkook called home?
Yes sir he's home...
Oh thank go- WAIT! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?
Sir, he came back the day you left...
He told me not to inform you because he would. Looks like he forgot...
(Gulps)
I... I am sorry for disturbing you this late at night. May I ask where is Jungkook right now if you might know?
Sir, I think he was strolling around the garden when I left for my quarters. He's... Umm... Kind of-
Kind of? What? Agatha what is it?
Kind of Starving himself... Like... I think he came back for you and you weren't here... He's been a bit depressed... That's all that I noticed
(Nervous)
Tell him I am returning tomorrow by -- no wait! Don't tell him... I will return tomorrow
Yes he knows sir but around what time?
Early!
But sir it wo-
Good night
Good night sir...
Cuts call
Should I be more worried that he's getting himself sick or should I be tensed about the fight we are going to have now that Jungkook knows....
I...
(Starts sweating)
It's all my fault
I took the cheese Tae held out in front of me
What am I? A kid? Got greedy just like that... I should have had better self control...
Jungkook was coming home on Sunday... And he had told me he would leave in 2 hours. God! I had it perfectly planned... The kids would have been asleep. Gguk wouldn't have even known about it. He didn't need to.... Why does this always happen to me? I waited and waited and he never came and for once when I decided to go out, he had to come back
SEESH MINNIE THAT WAS JUST SO SELFISH! He's home and sick and I am worried about myself... This isn't fair with him. I should not have lied in the first place...He came back home the day I left...This means he knew I was lying ...
I am screwed...
Jimin calls Taehyung so that they could leave earlier
