Chapter Four

Seokjin watched Jimin with his arms crossed as he looks at his direction. The younger cant help but to roll his eyes at his hyung every now and then.

"What's wrong with that, Chim?" Seokjin timidly asked,

He told Jimin about what happened last night, all of it.

He told him about how Taehyung admitted all of his mistakes and said sorry for it. He told him how he felt as Taehyung holds him and most especially he told him that he's more than willing to take him back once again.

Saying that Jimin is pissed is actually an understatement, he's mad. Not really but he's too close at getting mad and snapping at the older.

The younger doesnt really get as to why Seokjin couldnt see that Taehyung's mistake shouldnt be forgiven so easily. He left him all alone when he's pregnant. For Jimin, whatever your reason is it wont really change anything.

Why would you left someone who's carrying your child? On top of that, someone you love.

"He left you while you were pregnant and what?" Jimin's hand are flying all over, "After all of the hardwork that you've done, he will just waltz in your life and you'll accept him?" Jimin asked.

Seokjin wants to defend himself but he cant really voice out his opinion because at some point, he knows that the younger is right.

"I want a complete family for Sora." Seokjin sighed.

He knows how hard it is for Sora to grew up without her father. He remember how he tried so hard to comfort his daughter when he picked her up from school crying because her classmates are bullying her for not having a father.

She keeps on asking Seokjin about her father but of course he cant just tell her child that Taehyung is nowhere to be found because he's afraid of big responsibilities which is her. Taehyung hurted him but the older still loves him and he doesnt want their daughter to hate him.

"And what about your happiness?" Jimin c****d a brow.

"A complete family is my happiness!"

Jimin shook his head. He cant believe how Seokjin is taking all of this lightly.

"Did he even say that he'll stay with you?"

Seokjin took in a deep breathe because no, Taehyung and him didnt talk about being together for their daughter.

"Goodness, hyung! See?" Jimin stood up his hands on his waist already, "You want a complete family but does he?" Jimin whisper-shouted because of the little girl watching cartoons in their living room.

Seokjin doesnt know. Is it that bad to want a complete family for your child?

Seokjin is becoming desperate especially now that he saw Taehyung already. He can do everything just to give his daughter a complete family.

"Hyung, Sora is a smart child. She'll understand." Jimin said now a little bit calm.

He knows it. He knows that his daughter will understand everthing but the pain of not having a compelete family is inevitable for her and Seokjin wants to spare her that pain.

"I dont even want him to see Sora!" Jimin said rolling his eyes once again.

Seokjin took a day off and Jimin is completely fine with it. That's why he made Yoongi to take over Seokjin's place for today while he came in the older's apartment to drop Sora off.

He showed how much he disagrees as soon as Seokjin told him that Taehyung wants to see their daughter and he agreed, Jimin keeps on convincing him to take it back saying that Seokjin is making it all too easy for Taehyung.

"Sorry for the word, hyung. But you are still the same Seokjin when it comes to this thing, martyr Seokjin." Jimin scoffed.

Those words didnt hurt Seokjin anymore.

Actually, he doesnt know if its because of martyrdom or just plain because of undying optimism.

As long as he loves Taehyung, he will let him do whatever he wants, be it fix him or destroy him again. It will all be completely fine with Seokjin because that's how he loves, he loves so much.

"Text me what happens, hyung. I'll go now." Jimin said walking in the living room to call Sora.

The little girl gave her Uncle Jimin a kiss on the cheeks while waving until Jimin is nowhere out of sight.

Seokjin leaned in against the wall just staring at his daughter who has a big smile on her face as he sings along with Moana.

He still didnt tell her about what was about to come. He just doesnt know how to break that news infront of his daughter.

He walked towards his daughter and sat next to her. He paused the movie that made Sora gasped, "Papa, why?"

Seokjin scooted closer to his daughter leaning in to kiss her forehead. He caressed her face and stared at it for a moment, he sure has a very beautiful daughter.

"Papa has something to tell you." Seokjin said.

Sora hugged Riri thighter caressing his furr.

"There's someone who wants to meet you. He'll be happy if he sees you, princess." Seokjin said his voice cracking.

The little girl titled her head as if trying to find out who wants to see her.

"Who?" Sora asked, confused.

Seokjin then let out a shaky breathe, "Your father. It's Daddy."

Sora looks at him with her eyes wide and soon cracked a playful smile on her face.

"But Papa, I dont have Daddy. You forgot?" Sora crossed her arms grinning at her mother.

Seokjin let out a small laugh and pinched the tip of her nose. It's funny but it also hurts at the same.

"But Daddy came back already, princess." Seokjin took in a deep breath as tears spilled through his eyes.

Sora's lips tugged downwards as she saw her beautiful father's tears. She sat on his lap cupping his cheeks with a pout on her face.

"Papa stop crying," her lips quivered, "Daddy hurted you?"

Seokjin's eyes widened and immediately shook his head kissing the cheeks of his daughter.

"No, no. Papa's just happy because Daddy came back." Seokjin said caressing the little girl's back.

As if on cue, the doorbell rang already that made the both of them exchanged looks.

"Is that my Daddy?" Sora giggled.

Seokjin ruffled her hair putting her down, "We'll see."

Seokjin was about to go straight to the door but looks at his daughter when she suddenly held his hands.

"Do I look owkay, Mama?"

Seokjin bit his lower lip to stop himself from laughing. He doesnt know why her daughter is suddenly being conscious about how she looks.

"You look pretty, princess." He said assuring her.

Seokjin took a deep breathe first and wiped his face using his hands before opening the door with a smile on his face.

"Hi..."

Taehyung let out his boxy smile that made Jin's heart wavered, it looks the same as Sora.

"Im nervous." Taehyung leaned in to kiss his cheeks.

He frozed for a moment trying to just shake it off as he let Taehyung in already.

Taehyung waited for Seokjin. He held the older's hands as he exhaled.

"Oh! Tae. Dont be nervous. She'll like you." Seokjin smiled at him.

Taehyung looks at the older with adoring eyes kissing his temples for a couple of times with his eyes shut closed.

"Oh! Babe, I missed you so much." Taehyung said in his deep raspy voice that almost weakened Seokjin's knees.

The both of them walked in the living room. Seokjin already let go of the younger's hands as they both stared at their daughter.

"Sora..." Seokjin calls,

The older pats the younger's back encouraging him to go and talk to their daughter.

Taehyung slowly nods his head trying to calm himself as he can feel his heart beating so fast and his hands almost trembling.

He knelt down infront of his daughter who's sitting on the sofa. Now, the little girl looks at him with curious eyes and Taehyung just wants to hugged her tight because damn he just met her and he already loves her with all of him.

"Hello, sweetheart." Taehyung's voice cracked.

He stared at his daughter up and down trying to take in how tall she is and everythig about her.

He raked his fingers through his hair and let out a small laugh even with his unshed tears as he stared at the pretty little girl infront of him.

"I.. im your Dad." Taehyung said pointing at himself.

Sora pouted and she looks at her mother who's just standing at the corner while wiping his tears away.

Sora cupped his cheeks looking at him intently and Taehyung just loves how small his little girl's hand is.

"You're handsome, Dada." Sora said smiling.

Taehyung shut his eyes closed hugging the little girl as he peppered her with kisses.

It just feels so good. It made him happy to be called and acknowledged by his daughter as her father

Taehyung locked eyes with Seokjin who's still looking at them as he mouthed, "Thank you..."

If this is what Seokjin will get after all the pain then he's willing to be hurt over and over because it will be all worth it.
