"I'm in front of your gate now," said Taehyung.
"Couple minutes more," said me and hung up the call.
Suddenly, I felt so nervous to face him.
"Mom, is Dad already here?" asked Jihoon.
My eyes down looking at him. "Um, he's here"
He quickly took my hands and pulled me to go with him, "Let's go, Mom".
I opened the gate and went out with Jihoon.
I looked out for Taehyung. I caught a glance of a car door open and my eyes locked there.
Taehyung got out of the familiar car that I saw two weeks ago.
"It was really him," I murmured under my breath.
Taehyung walked towards me and my eyes quickly shifted from his car to him.
Jihoon pulled out his hand off mine and went to hug Taehyung's leg. "Dad!"
Taehyung took Jihoon and lifted him on his arm. "Yes, son"
"I miss you," said Jihoon.
"I miss you more," said Taehyung to Jihoon.
Then, Taehyung turned his head back to me.
"Did you drive all the way here?" I asked.
"Yes"
I could confirm it was him that I saw two weeks ago when I was on the bus.
So, he was following and watching me from his car.
He's so creepy as fuck.
But I noticed he didn't talk too much. Maybe he was tired from driving.
As I really couldn't look him in his eyes, I shifted my eyes away.
I caught the glance of someone sitting on the passenger seat in his car.
I was quite shocked because before this he was always alone.
I narrowed my eyes to see that person clearly even though I couldn't see the face. The arms were slender and that person had long hair.
It's a girl. I could say that.
Who's she? Is she... His
"Yes, she's my girl," said Taehyung, causing me to startle because I was so into looking at that girl.
He can fucking read my mind!
I turned my head away and fixed my hair strands.
I cleared my throat and looked at him again. "I guess that's all. Just return my boy tomorrow at around this time. But the earlier, the better".
Then I looked at Jihoon, "Jihoon, goodbye" I said and waved my hand slightly.
"Goodbye, Mom"
I quickly turned and went to the gate.
Jihoon turned his head at Taehyung and asked, "Why don't Mom go together with us too"
"Hmm.. It's.. It-"
I heard that and turned at them again before going inside. "Mom is busy. I have no time" said me and went inside.
As she cut him, and with her obvious bitter voice, Taehyung scoffed out of a smirk.
His dating rumor really got her to act like this.
"What a cutie," said Taehyung slowly under his breath.
"Um?" Jihoon looked at Taehyung with a confused look.
Taehyung shook his head. "Nothing". Then he walked towards his car.
He walked towards the driver's seat door. He opened the door and put Jihoon inside.
Jihoon was shocked to see a woman stranger in the car.
That woman smiled brightly at Jihoon and pulled Jihoon to sit on her lap.
She studied his face and screamed "Omo, no!" and she giggled. She gave Jihoon pecks on his cheek and his head.
Jihoon felt awkward and he was quiet because he didn't know who this woman was.
Taehyung got in the car and closed the door.
"Oppa, he looks just like you when you were a kid. 100%! No DNA test is needed".
"I know," said Taehyung and looked at Jihoon.
He noticed Jihoon was quiet and uncomfortable.
"Jihoon-ah, this is your gomo . My younger sister, Taehee gomo"
Jihoon turned his head to Taehee. "Gomo?"
Taehee nodded excitedly as she got his attention.
"Um, your gomo. Remember I told you that you have gomo?" asked Taehyung.
Jihoon just remembered and nodded to Taehyung.
"And I told you, you have a cousin too"
Jihoon's eyes widened excitedly. He gasped, "Really?"
"Yes," said Taehee and caressed Jihoon's hair.
"Her name is Hyemin. She's one year older than you" said Taehee again.
I went inside and leaned my back against the door as soon as I closed the door.
Honestly, I was so curious about the woman inside his car.
I could feel it was the girl from his scandal rumor.
I whipped out my phone and searched for the girl's name while walking towards the sofa.
I sat on the sofa. I found a bunch of her photos on the Internet.
I opened one to take a closer look.
I studied her face. Her eyes, her nose, her lips, her jaw, her cheek, her eyebrows, her eyelashes.
She just looked ordinary.
She wasn't as beautiful as I thought.
But the longer I stared at her photo, I started to feel she was quite beautiful.
But she just looked like this because she was under the K-pop agency's care.
RIGHT???
I swear to God, If I was under the agency's care, I would look like her too. Or much prettier.
"His taste isn't that good. Yikes" I rolled my eyes and threw my phone aside.
I leaned my back on the sofa, closing my eyes.
When I just remembered something, I quickly opened my eyes wide. I gasped and straightened my sitting posture.
Was I just fucking allowing my Jihoon to spend time with that girl????
I quickly grabbed my phone and called Taehyung.
I bit my nail impatient while waiting for him to take my call.
"What?", asked Taehyung as soon as he answered my call.
"Return my son! My Jihoon!" said me with uncontrollable breath because I was so worried.
"What nonsense this time?" asked him.
I bit my lower lip, thinking how to tell him without sounding like I was jealous.
Actually, I was not jealous!
It was just if I told him, maybe he would miscomprehend me like I was jealous.
"Well... I'm not comfortable" said me.
Taehyung frowned with confusion. "About what?"
"About you taking out my son now"
"Why? I am just with him for like ten minutes. And you were the one who asked me to take him this week. Why are you being so sudden?"
When Taehyung said that, it got Taehee's attention.
"It's hmmm. It-"
"I won't" he cut me short with a strict voice and eventually got me provoked.
Jihoon noticed that Taehee was looking at Taehyung and looked so serious.
He reached her cheeks and pulled them. He giggled heartily as he found it was a funny face.
Then, Taehee pretended to bite Jihoon's arm causing Jihoon to playfully scream while laughing.
I heard a female giggle along with Jihoon.
I also heard her teasing my son and my son seemed to like it.
I felt suffocating in my chest. To be honest, I didn't like it.
I hated it!
"Taehyung. I saw a girl in your car. It's your new girlfriend, right?"
He didn't answer me.
"It just makes me uncomfortable that my son has to meet your girlfriend"
"You're so weird. They both are just fine now"
"But I'm not!!!" shouted me and breathed heavily.
Taehyung was shocked at her sudden yell.
She sounded seriously jealous.
The heat in my chest calmed down, I break the silence, "I'm not fine, Taehyung"
"Why? You're jealous?"
I pinched my eyes closed in frustration. Because I already expected he would say this. I rubbed my forehead with one hand and then I clicked my tongue. "It's not like that. I'm just uncomfortable"
"What's the reason for you to be uncomfortable?"
"I'm just uncomfortable. I don't know how to tell you and it's just uncomfortable. Can you understand me?"
"No," said him right away.
"Why can you never understand me?"
"If you say you're jealous, then I will understand. But if you're not comfortable, I don't"
"I'm not comfortable because Jihoon is my son. I don't like him getting close to your girlfriend"
"Why? Have I ever complained that I don't like our son being close to your husband? You're so weir-"
"It's never the same!"
Taehyung was startled when she suddenly yelled out again.
"It's not the same because my husband raised him. But that girl beside you is not. She's a stranger to me. I don't like my son to be close to strangers. It makes me worried"
"But she's not a stranger to me and I know her so much"
"You aren't me!" shouted me and this time, I broke into tears.
I just wanted my son to be returned so much.
When he heard she was crying, he pulled the car by the roadside.
Taehee was shocked and confused by this sudden pull. She turned her head to Taehyung. "Why, oppa?"
"I need to take this outside," said him, gesturing to the phone call and he got out of the car.
I heard them. I started to wonder if they thought I was acting crazy.
"What if Jihoon doesn't want to?" asked Taehyung.
I sniffed away my tears, and cleared my throat. "You have to. In any way" said me.
"Jihoon looks so happy right now. I'm worried if it will ruin his mood"
He's happy? I shook my head vigorously. What he said just made me more worried. "You have to return him now even though he will cry"
He scoffed. "You just don't like the woman in my car, right? She's the reason for you to act like this, seriously?"
I didn't say anything.
"Okay, I'll send her back to her house and Jihoon will be only with me"
"No, I don't believe you. You will lie to me" said me right away.
"I will not"
"No, you will" I asserted with my decision.
Taehyung rolled his eyes because she seemed to have zero trust in him. "What if she isn't my girlfriend? Then it's fine?"
"Stop babbling. Just send my son back, you shithead" said me out of patience.
"Why are you suddenly calling me shithead? I'm not disrespecting you today. You're looking for a fight, right?" asked him.
"You annoyed me. You're just purposely doing this to me"
"Doing what?"
"This!"
"This what?"
"You drove all the way long here with your girlfriend. You have to put much effort just to upset me! And then you tried to fool me by saying you could send her back. You have annoyed me so much"
"She's not my girlfriend-"
"Stop lying to me!"
Taehyung sighed and a short silence ran between us.
"Okay y/n, are you on your period?" asked him, breaking the silence.
"So, what if I do? And what if I don't? My periods have nothing to do with you"
"It' is"
"In what way?!"
"Thinking of what we did last two weeks ago, I think this month is very important"
Actually, the reason he was asking about her periods was because of her mood but he decided to play along.
I understood what he said.
It was because I had a sex with him two weeks ago.
"Dream on! I take pills"
"Um, well that's good," said him.
This guy was crazy for another child again but he suddenly said it was fine. It's just obvious, he really had plans with his new girlfriend.
I really didn't care. I just noticed that as long as we had a thing associated with these visitation rights, everything would just put my heart in uneasiness.
"Just return my son," said me.
Taehyung pressed his lips together. If he did this, what would his sister say? "Ah, she's just-"
"Return my son or I'll call the police"
Taehyung frowned, "For what?"
"For kidnapping my son"
"We both have court documents for that. Stop acting stupid, y/n"
"Then I'll go to reporters and tell them everything that you did to me five years ago and even two weeks ago"
"Seriously?" asked Taehyung even though he didn't feel threatened.
"Serious"
Taehyung looked at his sister in the car. He realized he was making her wait for too long. "Fine, I'll send Jihoon back"
"Right now" said me and ended the call. As soon as that, I let out a heavy sigh.
Thinking back, what the fuck did I do?
Taehyung got back into the car and Taehee already had her eyes on him. "What happens?"
"Jihoon's mom wants Jihoon to be sent back to her home," said Taehyung.
Taehee frowned. "Why????"
"She has something to do with Jihoon today," said Taehyung.
"But oppa, we came all the way here from Seoul. She should understand us and consider it".
"Maybe she has something more important that cannot be postponed to another day"
Still, it didn't convince Taehee. "What is it?" asked Taehee.
"What?"
Jihoon just watched both of them quietly. To Jihoon, they both looked like they were almost quarreling.
"The thing she has to do?" asked Taehee.
"I don't know," said Taehyung.
"You have that long conversation but still you don't know????" To Taehee, Taehyung actually knew something and just won't tell her.
"Ah, enough Taehee. I will ask her if I can take Jihoon tomorrow".
Taehee rolled her eyes and leaned on the seat with her arms folded. "I don't understand why Mother wants you to marry her so much. She's so weird" muttered her slowly but enough for Taehyung to hear.
Taehyung started to worry if Taehee had a bad perspective on y/n. "She's not weird".
"She is"
"No," said Taehyung.
"Yes"
Taehyung sighed. "She thought you were my girlfriend"
Taehee quickly turned her head to Taehyung. "So, she's jealous? But why would she? You said she rejected you. What's wrong with her?"
"No, she's not jealous. She said she was uncomfortable"
"No, she's just jealous," asserted Taehee.
"Not sure," said Taehyung.
"She is jealous"
"Huh, then you go tell her that she's jealous," said Taehyung in a joke because her sister didn't want to lose.
"Sure, I'll tell her. And I will tell her that I'm Jihoon's Imo. So, we can take Jihoon to home, right?"
"I'm just kidding. I'm sure she will run away right after the moment you open the door"
"Why?"
"She-she's just a little bit timid," said Taehyung.
"Damn, she's just so weird"
"Oh?? Dad, this is the way to mom's home. Are we going back? Why?" asked Jihoon, realizing the car was heading to y/n's house.
"Because your mom is weird," said Taehee.
"Um?"
"Lol, Taehee stop. He will tell his mom" said Taehyung.
Taehee pulled her face while rolling her eyes. She was very exasperated about returning Jihoon to y/n.
