The Bonds Between Us

Chapter 14

"Hyung, can you help me?" Jungkook asked through the phone while giving Woohyuk a file.

'What is it?' A manly voice asked back.

"I have to work and I wonder if you can take care of Daehan for a while."

'What about the other? You know I don't work well with kid.'

"Taehyung hyung is working. Same to Jimin and Jin hyung. Meanwhile, Hoseok hyung is out of the town."

'And you're leaving Daehan for work again? Jinjja, Jeon Jungkook?'

"I have no choice, Hyung." His eyes landed on his sleeping son and Ppalgang.

'Alright then. Just bring him here.' The elder sighed and Jungkook hung up.

Then before the sun set Jungkook drove off to his friend's house.

"Han-ah, behave well, alright? Appa may be late but I'll pick you up when I finish my work." The father said to his sad son, although he knew his son was going to behave so well with the other.

"Ne..." Sadly, the boy sang hugging his buddy to his chest. Jungkook sighed. He knew how his son was feeling but he had to work first. It's a sure thing that his son will be safe with his friend than being with him.

In front of his luxury condo, Namjoon came out to greet them as the father and son stood there, waiting.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Namjoonie Uncle." Daehan bowed with Ppalgang in his arms and Namjoon smiled at the little boy.

"I'm not sure if I can come to pick him up tonight but I'll try." He said handing Daehan's belongings to his Hyung.

"Ok, I'll take care of him well. But Daehan is a good boy already. I don't think I have to do much."

"Thanks, Hyung. Han-ah, be good, arraseo? If you miss Omma, ask uncle to call her, ne?"

"Ne"

"Good, I'm going." Jungkook pecked Daehan's forehead before walking away.

"Let's get in, Han. Are you hungry?" Namjoon asked softly.

"I'm not, uncle." The boy walked toward the couch and sat there quietly as Ppalgang went down to run around the place. The uncle sighed staring at the boy's small frame before going to sit next to him.

"Look, Han-ah, uncle got a new piano. Do you want to try?" The boy lightened up hearing his favorite instrument.

"Can I?"

"Why not, come on." He got up, took Daehan's hand and went into a room. At least, he could get the boy's mood up for a while.

Hyerin's POV

Tiredly, I came out of the car and walked into the hotel. It was just the first day though.

Without saying anything, I bowed to GM and got into my room. There, I missed Daehan badly. How was he doing with his father? I hoped Jungkook won't leave him for work again.

After shower, I grabbed my phone and found a text from him.

' I have to say sorry again, Rin. I leave Daehan with Namjoon hyung and work. So I'll take whatever you blame when you come back.'

I let out a big sigh reading his text. There he did it again.

What I could do was calling Namjoon oppa and he sent me pictures of him playing piano. It was not a bad idea but I just didn't want to bother him. He's a single man who needed to enjoy his own life though.

At the very end of the town, stood a small building in the dark, no lights and abundant. Quietly, the agents darted toward the gate. Jungkook motioned some of them to the right before nodding to the left. Then he leaded Woohyuk straight to the wall and climbed it by a rope. Easily, they got in the house. In the living room, three guys were there laughing and drinking.

The chief nodded and Woohyuk stuck something on the wall.

Both of them lightly jumped down and rushed toward hide behind the boxes.

"Who's that?" One of them asked after noticing a noise from Woohyuk who just accidentally hit his head on the box.

He bit his lips as his boss raised his eyebrow.

'Eotteoke?' The assistant mouthed and Jungkook shrugged.

"I asked who's there?" It came along with the footstep and Woohyuk sighed when Jungkook nodded for him to go out.

"Fine." He muttered before stepping out of the box with his hands up, surrendered. All of the g**g rushed toward him and Jungkook moved fast without them notice to the back and into a room.

"Who are you?" They asked and Woohyuk rolled his eyes.

"So you don't know me?"

"Who are you?!" One of them asked pointing a g*n at him.

"That's good. I'm just curious about ghost thingy and walk around because I want to see one." Woohyuk simply said trying to buy time as he saw his boss moved from one to another room. If they believed him, they would be the dumbest ever.

"There's no such thing and go away if you don't want to become one of the ghosts." They warned.

"Ne~"

"Wait!" Before Woohyuk could walk away another guy from first floor stopped him and more of them ran down the stairs to surround him.

"Damn...." Woohyuk cursed under his breath. The boss walked in fixing his eyes on Woohyuk.

"I know you...and you just turn yourself in by yourself. Where is your boss?" He asked looking around and Woohyuk widened his eyes, surprised with the fact that the g**g's boss knew him.

"What...What are you talking about? I happened to come here because..."

"Jeon Jungkook, I know he's here." The boss cut him off and Woohyuk became speechless.

"And without fear, he comes in..."

"..."

"Should I report to police that their chief sneaked into the innocent citizen's house at night like a robber to do nonsense things huh? What do you think?" He said smirking at Woohyuk who was dumbfounded in the middle of the g**g.

"Answer?" The boss continued taking out a g*n and played with it. Woohyuk didn't know what to say and quick as a blink the g**g shot the ground just beside Woohyuk's foot which caused him to jump in startled earning laughter from the g**g members.

"Wah, this is how a police react to the g*n shot?"

"Aigo, he looks so terrified." They teased, laughing.

"Innocent citizen? Psh." Jungkook's voice came in as he walked toward them. The boss turned to look and he shrugged.

"Boss..." Woohyuk mumbled as Jungkook stood beside him.

"I'm sorry to come in your house without the invitation. But I guess, it's worth it." The chief said taking out a pair of handcuffs.

"At least, I can retain you because of this illegal g*n. What do you think?" Jungkook said playing with the handcuffs while looking at the g*n in the head of the g**g's hand.

"What?" The boss became frustrated.

"Please go with us for safety. We only check some documents about your gun." Jungkook said and more policemen came in the hall making the gangs to panic.

"Damn!" The boss cursed as Jungkook put the handcuffs around his wrists with a smirk.

And the g**g members were taken to the police station with their boss as well.

"Keep him for a night to feed some mosquitos and he will be questioned tomorrow, arraseo?" Jungkook said as Woohyuk wrote a report.

"Boss, I just wonder, is it a success or what?" He asked looking at his boss who sitting on the edge of his table.

"We failed. He just tricked us to go there and played. I guess, he found out that we have a secret agent in there. So it's harder to put in our frame now."

"Wah, we just put put our lives in that place huh?"

"Don't worry, you're safe now. When I heard the g*n shot what I thought of was not your leg but there." The boss teased looking down at his assistant's private part before hitting his shoulder gently with a smile.

"Boss..." Woohyuk whined with a terrible face.

"I'm going. Finish the report and rest."

*********

Slowly, Jungkook rang the bell of his Hyung's condo. The hyung came out with bed hair, yawning.

"Good morning." The younger greeted and Namjoon nodded.

"He's in my bedroom." As informed, Jungkook headed toward the room and found his son soundly slept in bed with Cheongcheong in his arms.

"I know you can feel how he feels about this. Although he's a kid, he's starting to learn about emotions now. So be careful." Namjoon gave advises as Jungkook lift his son up in his arms.

"Thanks for helping, Hyung. I'll do it." The father said walking out and Namjoon followed with Ppalgang and Daehan's stuffs until they reached Jungkook's car.

*********

In the morning, Hyerin called early to check if Jungkook was with Daehan and she felt better as he's really with him.

"He's having breakfast. Don't worry, I don't have any plan to leave him again." Jungkook said to the phone putting a glass of milk in front of his son.

"I want to see Omma, Appa." Daehan said chewing on his pancake.

"He wants to see you." And the father turned the phone to the little boy.

"Omma!" The boy chipped happily upon seeing his mother on the screen.

'Han-ah, Omma miss you.' The mother waved smiling.

"I miss you too and Ppalgang too." Daehan smiled and the mother softened.

"Me too." Jungkook mumbled and she smiled. He really meant it when he said that and her eyes showed the same.

The family chatted for a while before hanging up to do their own job.

Jungkook dropped his son at his school and then went to work with Ppalgang.

And while working, he got a call from Daehan's school that he had to go to see him. The little boy had a small fight with his friends that it's not appropriate at all.

The father had to go to see him immediately with worries. He almost couldn't believe it that the gentle Daehan fought with his friends. He's not a type of boy like to hurt anyone after all.

As he arrived the office, Daehan was sitting at a table with his head down playing with Cheongcheong, sad face. Jungkook followed the teacher to a room and she reported what happened.

"He's always being good in the class. He's also smart and helpful but today there's something happen and it's not his fault. The problem is because he hit them but it's not serious."

"Ne...I'm sorry."

"In fact, some of the kids bullied one of the girl and Daehan tried to help her."

"Yes, I see."

"About the kids we're also working on how to improve their behavior. For Daehan, we only ask you to help in teaching him to control his anger and try to avoid violence. That's all. Last, we also feel sorry for what happen. I hope it won't happen again and hope this will not effect him emotionally. Now, you may bring him home and remember to talk to him nicely." The teacher explained and Jungkook nodded before bowing at her.

He then got in the room which Daehan was there.

"Appa!" And the boy cried upon seeing his father.

"Aigo, it's ok, Han-ah." Jungkook smiled patting his head.

"I'm sorry, Appa."

"Nah, it's ok. Let's go and we'll talk at home."

"Ne."

"Go, say goodbye to teacher."

"Yes."

Jungkook had to take half day off to be with his son.

The boy sat quietly on the couch after arriving. His father slowly sat down, staring at his little son.

"Han-ah, come here." Finally, he said opening his arms and the boy walked in his father's embrace.

"You won't do it again, will you?" Jungkook mumbled patting Daehan's head and the boy nodded.

"I'm sorry, Appa. I won't do it again. I'm not going to hurt my friends again." He mumbled between sobbing hard.

"Then do you want to tell Omma about this?"

"Will she get mad at me, Appa?"

"I don't think so. You did well because you have help your friend. But you just didn't do it in a right way? Later, don't solve it like that, arraseo?"

"Ne."

"Good."

Hyerin's POV

Finally, the mission was completed successfully.

We were ready to go back home in the morning. Since I still had a day off I could rest for a whole day. That made me happy because I could spend a day with Daehan at least.

"Thank you so much, GM. See you tomorrow."

"Thanks for your hard work too. See you." And he drove away.

I guess, Daehan was still at school and Jungkook was working.

I changed my clothes and went to pick Daehan from his school without telling Jungkook. Let see if he spared time to take his son from school or not. I also wanted to talk to his teacher after hearing that he fought with his friends at school.
