Chapter Fourteen

It's now a week and Taehyung is still here for one week straight. Seokjin and Sora are so happy because of his presence. They are look like an almost complete family. Almost, since Seokjin still doesn't know what's their stand in Taehyung's life.

Seokjin doesn't want to look like he's pushing Taehyung into the family that he always wanted to have but he needs assurance more than anything especially now that Sora is enjoying her father's presence more and more.

"Daddy! Let me have it." Seokjin heard his daughter whined.

"No, baby. You're having too much sweets."

Seokjin nods in approval by Taehyung's response. In his first two nights here, he always gives Sora every candy that she wants reason as to why it's been really hard for Seokjin to put her to bed considering the amount of sweets that he had, she became so energetic.

Seokjin went out of their room as soon as he finished folding the clothes. He smiled as he took a glimpse of the closet, the side where Taehyung's clothes was place. It feels so overwhelming to have him around them especially that he's seeing how Sora likes having her father around.

"Sora, c'mon."

Sora looks up to her mother pouting as she saw the towel on Seokjin's shoulder, bath time. Sora doesn't like bath time that much since her mother didn't allow her to bring her toys anymore saying that she might get hurt because of them. She just don't understand, how can she get hurt while playing dolls in the tub?

"I'll be back, Dada." She looks at her father with her arms crossed, "And it's my turn." She said before running towards Seokjin.

Both Seokjin and Sora went inside the bathroom, the little girl took of her clothes and her ponytail while her mother is busy making sure that the water temperature is not too hot or cold. He doesn't want his daughter to fear bath time even more.

Seokjin put as much bubbles as he can so that his daughter can finally enjoy her bathtime. He held her hand helping him to get into the tub. The little girl immediately squeled as she got inside giggling as some bubbles starts popping out because of her.

"Does Uncle Yoonie miss me?" She suddenly asked, "And Uncle Jiminie?" she asked again with hopeful eyes.

Taehyung doesn't really like it if Sora is nowhere near his sight even though Seokjin tried to explain that both Yoongi and Jimin used to look after their daughter every single day and she sometimes sleeps over in ther house, Taehyung is not happy about it.

It's been a week since Taehyung is here, Seokjin feels bad because both of his friends keeps asking for Sora to have a sleep over in their house and he's also running out of excuses as to why she cant as of the moment. He doesn't want his friends to hate Taehyung even more.

"Of course, princess. They missed you very much." Seokjin said with a big smile.

Sora clasped her hands together showing her boxy smile but it soon faded when she looks up to her mother.

She peeked at the door first and leaned closer to Seokjin as she whispered, "Uncle Kookie too?" she looks at her mother again with her adorable puppy eyes.

Seokjin let out a faint smile. He really loves the close bond between his daughter and Jungkook. He pumped a little amount of shampoo in his hand and starts to caress Sora's hair with it being careful not to put any in her eyes.

"Im sure he does, sweetie."

And that's enough for Sora to giggle while playing with bubbles coming down from her black long hair reminding Seokjin that she needs a haircut soon.

When Sora's bath time is done, she immediately went inside their room to put on her clothes without the help of her mother. Seokjin cant help but to let out a small sad smile because Sora is slowly learning to do the things that she cant do when she's very little. Soon, she wont need Seokjin in her every bath time and nap time. When that time comes, Seokjin is sure that he will shed a lot of tears.

"I wont be late, promise."

Seokjin's eyebrow raised as he heared Taehyung's soothing voice. He's sure that he's probably in the kitchen since he can clearly hear him considering his effort to tone down his deep voice.

"That's a business occasion, I'll be there and you should too."

Seokjin cleared his throat and went straight to grabbed a glass of water and drank it in one go. Taehyung's expression softened ending the call without even saying anything to the person he's talking too.

"You're leaving?" Seokjin asked.

Taehyung let out a sad smile as he slowly nods his head. He has an important event and he needs to be there or else his family will get mad at him saying that he doesn't even care about their business.

"I have an important event..."

Seokjin smiled, it's business matters and he knows that he cant really do anything about it. Who is Seokjin kidding, though? Business matters or not, he knows that he doesn't have the courage to ask Taehyung about it.

Seokjin is becoming irrational, in Jimin's word.

He's becoming illogical and desperate. Yes, having a complete family is good especially for the child. It's just that having a family is more than just a mother and a father living together. The relationship that they have must be strong enough for it to be labeled as family.

In Seokjin's case, he doesn't know anything. He's too scared to ask Taehyung, too scared to clear what they have and too scared to ask for a label. He's just too scared to do anything because of his fear that Taehyung might leave them because he's being demanding.

He shouldn't be.

In times like this, he always thinks about the words Jimin always says to him whenever they were talking about Taehyung after their work.

If he leaves, let him leave. He's a father of your child, if he's responsible enough and if he really does want to give you that complete family, he wont leave in the first place. The exact same words of Jimin keeps on replaying in his mind: Hyung, your complete family wont work if you're the only one who wants it.

"I'll be back after a week or two." Taehyung mumbled.

A week or two? Ow, maybe he's going back to China after the event since it's been a long time since he arrives here in Korea.

"Okay, then. Make sure to say bye to Sora." Seokjin said his voice constricting.

Taehyung brought his hands up to pull him into a thight hug but Seokjin walked away before he could do so and went straight to their room to see his daughter.

It just gets too hard sometimes.

Seokjin picks up his phone when he saw a message. He didn't expect the message to be from Jungkook but he opened it anyway.

Jungkook:

Hi! I wish we can talk sometimes. I miss Sora too.:)

Seokjinlocked his phone smiling because of the message that he got from Jungkook. Deepinside, he wants to go straight to the younger and just cried in his shouldersbecause his heart feels heavy and just like the old times, Jungkook will lethim just because he doesn't want him in pain. Seokjin knows he cant do thatnow. If he does, he's too selfish

My class started already that's why I cant promise that I will update everyday now but maybe I will but just not like before that I update two chapters in a day. I'll do my best though.

Im not a fan of littlespace though but when I tried to read something like that, it's cute and the reason why they slipped into little space is quite intriguing for me. Not really in my plan but I might do it if you guys wants, Do you guys want a story of Little Seokjin? Hahahahahah
