Chapter Thirteen

It is Wednesday today and Seokjin is getting off to work so that he could pick up his daughter.

"So is Taehyung gonna be home tonight?" Jimin asked raising his brows.

Seokjin let out a deep sigh when it looks like his younger friend is just seconds away from dissing the father of his child again.

"Can we go meet him tonight?"

Seokjin shook his head, "Soon but not now." He said.

He doesnt want to pressure Taehyung. He doesnt even know what is his relationship with the younger. He doesnt want to seem so desperate even though he really is.

Seokjin arrives at the kindergarten in no time. It's just a walking distance from the cafe which makes it more convenient for them.

As he entered at the gate, some kids are running around already and some are already talking to their parents.

He peeked at the room of Sora and looks around when his daughter is not inside the room already.

He clenched his fist biting his lower lip as he finally saw his daughter sitting on the bench near the gate laughing with Jungkook next to him.

The both of them were talking to each other. Jungkook is caressing his daughter's hair as Sora giggled while Jungkook has his bunny smile looking at his little girl fondly.

Seokjin looked up shutting his eyes closed. He doesnt know as to why he's suddenly nervous now that Jungkook is here.

Oh, C'mon. He didnt come for you, Seokjin thought.

He went closer and stopped when he's already infront of them,

"Mama!" Sora squeled.

She jumped and clung onto her mother like a koala lifting her head up as she tries to kiss her mother's cheeks. Seokjin giggled and leaned down just so his daughter can give him a kiss already.

"Look!" He pointed at Jungkook excitedly, "Uncle Kookie is here."

Sora sat next to Jungkook again clinging into the other man's arms while sucking her thumb as she looks at her mother innocently,

"Can Uncle Kookie come to our house?" Sora asked trying to pull an act as she pouted while doing a puppy eyes, "Missed him, Mama." She mumbled.

Jungkook let out his bunny smile again the wrinkle under his eyes makes him even more cute.

Seokjin scanned Jungkook. He's still wearing a black suit and he probably went here straight from work.

"Seokjin..."

Seokjin turned around to meet the owner of the voice and his eyes widened, "Taehyung."

Taehyung looks at his daughter who's comfortably clinging into a man's arms that he didnt know. He then looked at Seokjin furrowing his brows as he cleared his throat.

"You're here early, Taehyung-ah." Seokjin awkwardly said.

Taehyung's forehead creased even more. He looks at Seokjin then to the unnamed man. He tilted his head at the mother of his child hoping to get an answer.

Taehyung shrugs his shoulders protectively wrapping his arms around Seokjin's waist in case, someone doesnt know who owns who.

Jungkook internally rolled his eyes clenching his fist as he shut his eyes closed. He doesnt care if the two can see how he clenched his jaw, he's just too irritated.

He knows that he doesnt have any right to feel this way let alone be jealous. He should be prepare for this or something more, Seokjin said it himself- he's trying to fix their family and Jungkook is not someone who will ruin a family, he's far from that.

"Uncle Kookie," Sora turned to him, "Go with us?" She said in a small voice.

Seokjin fidgeted his fingers as Taehyung's gripped his waist thighter. He took in a deep breathe waiting for Jungkook's answer.

"Sorry, little one. I have things to do." Jungkook reasoned out.

No, he missed the little girl too and when Jimin said that Sora is constantly whining for him to show up, he's more eager to bond with her. Maybe, this is not the right time.

Sora pouted her lips even more looking so aggravated because of the rejection of her current favorite Uncle.

Taehyung and Jungkook shared an intense gaze which made Seokjin cleared his throat.

The older let out a small smile at Jungkook, "Thanks, Kook. We gotta go."

Taehyung looked at the younger even more smirking a little as he carried his daughter in his arms already.

Seokjin didnt even get the chance to say a proper goodbye to the younger when Taehyung grabs his hands as they walked out of the gate of the kindergarten already.

Taehyung opened the back seat putting his daughter making sure that her seatbelt is on. He pressed a kiss on her forehead before opening the front door for Seokjin.

He jogged towards the side of the driver's seat starting the engine as he drove away as soon as possible.

"Who's that?" Taehyung asked in a cold voice.

Seokjin looks at the father of his child only to look away because he couldnt stand how Taehyung is acting so cold all of a sudden.

"Jungkook..."

Taehyung screwed his eyes shut taking in a deep breathe, he's not satisfied with the answer that he got. He wants more than the name of that man who seems to be lingering around his daughter and Seokjin.

"I mean," Taehyung licked his lower lip finding it hard to say it, "What is he to you?" He finally asked.

Seokjin looks at his daughter behind and was thankful that she's peacefully sleeping. She probably got tired from school.

"He's a friend of mine."

Taehyung slowly nods his head not wanting to stress the older. He caressed his thighs and looks at him adoringly as they looked at each other.

By the time, they arrived home Sora is already awake. She's sitting in the living room still sulking that her Uncle Kookie didnt play with him. She didnt even realize that she didnt greeted her father properly.

"Princess..."

Taehyung knelt down infront of his daughter smiling as he tucked the strands of her hair behind her ears.

"You didnt kiss me," Taehyung fakes a pout, "C'mon, princess." Taehyung said smiling.

Sora bit her lower lip as she leaned in to kiss her father for a couple of times. She let out a small smile as she continued to play with her fingers.

"Ow, why is my little princess like that?" Taehyung cooed.

Sora let out a deep sigh as if she's having the biggest problem of her life and Taehyung just smiled even more because he's daughter is just really pretty.

"Want Uncle Kookie." Sora said in almost a whisper.

Taehyung's smile faded in no time as he made the little girl looks at him. Sora's eyes almost widened when his father is strictly looking at him,

"Dont mention his name again especially not with your mother."
