Exchanged Rings | Jungkook

55

Jungkook really wanted to come with us. I couldn't stop him from going so, we just followed him outside the building. He is really determined to drive us home since Jae-sung is already sleeping in his arms. Well, I would be lying if I say that I can handle the twins on my own especially now that Jae-sung is sleepy.

I'm just happy that he really insisted to drive the three of us home. Wait... speaking of home, what does he mean by that?

"Jungkook, where are we going?" I asked him when we reached the parking lot. The whole place was empty, only the cars are there with us. The two bodyguards left us the moment we step out of the elevator so, we're all by ourselves now.

"Home?" there's a hint of confusion in his voice. He gently placed Jae-sung on the back seat and put a seatbelt on him. He guided Seo-jun in entering the car too and he did the same thing with his seatbelt.

"Yeah, I know. But where? Do you know where do I live?" I asked.

His eyebrows twitched a bit. "No. In my house."

"What?" my eyebrows twitched and my mouth parted a bit.

"Are you sure? You don't need to do this, Jungkook. I can explain it to the kids. We can just live in my parents' house here in Seoul. Don't worry, I'll let you visit them there or I'll bring them to you." I look at him. He is a bit far to me, but I saw how his face changed. It turned into a sad one. I can't explain it, but I am sure he didn't like what I just said to him.

I panicked a little bit when he started walking towards me with his confused and hurt face. He touched my shoulders softly and looked deeply into my eyes. I can now clearly see the sadness in his beautiful eyes.

"Y/N," he calls my name, "Baby, don't you want to start all over again?"

I bit my lower lips. I couldn't help but to feel butterflies. The way he look into my eyes, the way he touches me, and the way he calls me as if my name is the most beautiful name in the world, makes me want to break the wall that I made between us.

I cleared my throat. "I still need time."

He smiled sadly and nodded his head. He caressed my hair and slowly leaned closer to kiss my forehead. I closed my eyes when he did that. It just feels nice.

"Okay... I understand." he said, "But please, just live in my house. I want you and the kids to be the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning, and the last thing I see when I close my eyes to sleep at night."

I hugged him tightly. I slowly caressed his back.

"I can't promise you anything, Jungkook. I still need time. Six years in New York wasn't enough for me to heal. You broke my trust and you need to earn that again. I don't want us to create the same mistake like we did before, especially that we already have Jae-sung and Seo-jun." I said.

I can't say it while looking at his eyes that's why I've decided to hug him. This is probably the first time I was able to hug him again, to be close with him, and it feels nice. He feels nice. His warmth and smell, it still feels like home and safety.

"I understand, love. I understand," he whispers and pulled me closer to him.

"Mommy..."

I broke the hug and looked at Seo-jun who is peeking behind the half rolled down mirror. I saw Jungkook scratching his neck and his ears are red.

I couldn't help but to chuckle, "Are you blushing?"

I walked towards the car.

"W-what? No. My ears are normally like this." he said and avoided my stares.

"Hm, okay." I nodded my head while smiling. When we entered the car, Jae-sung is still sleeping while Seo-jun is playing with his gadget.

Jungkook checked on us first before starting the engine. I must say, he looks really good while driving. His hand is on the the steering wheel while the other is laying on his lap.

"I will take care of everything, including the twins' papers..." he stole a glance, "and your family too. I will talk to them as well. You don't need to worry about anything. Just live with me Y/N."

I just gave him a simple smile before turning my gaze to the window. I am really confused. I know to myself that I still love him. My love for him didn't changed even a bit for the past few years. It's still the same. But, something is stopping me from giving myself to him again.

Maybe, my pride.

"I want to take you guys on a vacation." he said. I looked at him.

"Aren't you busy?"

"No, I am not, when it comes to the three of you." he glanced at me before giving me a simple smile.

"Where are you taking us, then?" I asked.

"Disneyland."

My eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

He chuckled. "I am. I've been planning this since before, I promised myself that when the time comes, I'll reunite again with you and take you to Disneyland. Well, before, I wasn't aware I have twins with you."

I couldn't help but to feel guilty. What if I told him that he's having kids with me that day? Would it change anything? Probably.

"I'll tell the kids about that." I smiled.

"We, Y/N. We will discuss the kids about that."

"Oh! Yeah, sorry. My bad!" I laughed and shook my head. Ever since, I am always the one who get engaged with my kids. But now that he is already here and given the fact that he is also their parent, looks like I won't be doing decisions for them all by myself now.

"It's fine. You must be really tired waiting earlier." he worriedly looked at me.

"No, no. I actually had fun. I am sure the kids did too." I smiled at him. Earlier, he checked on us each and every minute as if we are going to leave him. But, I am happy to know how it feels to be taken care by him once again.

"I'm glad to know that." he smiled.
