MINE

9

The next day, Jin arrived early. Namjoon oppa was leaving for Korea in the afternoon so he would be visiting us before leaving. Jin had off from work so he came over to play with Min Gyu.

"Here." I handed Jin a glass of water.
He smiled and took the glass. "Min Gyu is a quick learner. He learnt korean really well."
I smiled and sat next to him. He was teaching Min Gyu korean.
"Adeur, can you now write a sentence in korean?" I asked.
Min Gyu nodded, concentrated on his writing.
"Hmm...let me see." I said and took a peek.
Jin appa is worldwide handsome appa. I love him.

I narrowed my eyes at Jin. He laughed and patted Min Gyu's head.
"My good son." He said, looking admiringly at him.
I shook my head. "This is the first sentence you taught him to write?" I asked Jin.
"Ahh...so much noise, eomma." Min Gyu complaint.
Jin laughed. I stared at Min Gyu in disbelief.

In the afternoon, Namjoon oppa arrived.

"Oppa, Min Gyu has become very naughty." I complained as he took my little devil in his arms.
Oppa laughed. "What has he done?"
Min Gyu shot me a glare and he looked so like Yoongi.
"Eomma, you are bad. That's why I like appa." Min Gyu said.
I couldnt help but smile at my little son.
"Oh, I will be visiting your parents first as I land. Is everything set for you in Seoul?" Oppa asked me as we walked the hall.
"Ah yeah, Jin-ssi has helped me rent a nice apartment. I will visit my parents after I settle down." I said.
"Eomma, will appa stay with us?" Min Gyu asked.
"Umm...Jin ahjussi will visit us sometimes." I smiled.
He narrowed his eyes at me and Namjoon oppa burst out laughing.
"He never listens to me." I told.

"Oh, Namjoon-ah, you came. I was busy in the kitchen. How are you?" Jin walked out of the kitchen with an apron on him.
Namjoon oppa handed Min Gyu to me and bowed down to Jin.
"I am fine, hyungnim. What about you?"
Jin laughed. "I am doing just fine. Just cooking for Min Gyu and Ji Hwa."
Namjoon oppa shot me a glare.
"Okay, I will see you later. " Jin walked back to the kitchen.

"What is this? Why does he always cook for you guys? Dont treat hik in that way." Joon oppa scolded me.
"No. He just likes to cook. I dont ask him to do it. Dont blame me." I said.
"Ahh...Ji Hwa, he is such a big man. He has so many maids at home. And here he cooks for you all." Oppa sighed.
I nodded. "I know...but I never asked him to do so."
"But dont you understand why he is doing this? Cant you see how much he cares about you and Min Gyu? He has waited for ten years now. I think it's time you accept him."
I was shook. "Yeah, I know. I will think it through."
He broke into a smile. "I know he will keep you happy. Just give him the chance. Will you?"
I nodded with a smile. "Yes. I will think about it."
"Then I will leave now. See you in Seoul." He said.
I realized Min Gyu was fast asleep in my arms.

...

"Okay, take care. See you all in Seoul." Namjoon oppa waved and left.
Jin and I waved and walked back to the hall.
"Ready to eat?" Jin asked.
"Jin-ssi, I wanted to talk to you." I said nervously.
He looked shocked and it took him a moment to speak. "Yeah sure. After the meal? Min Gyu is fast asleep right?"
I nodded.
He smiled. "He will throw tantrums if we wake him up now."
"He will eat when he wakes."

We sat on the dining and served each other.
"Thank you for the meal." I said and began eating.
He shot me a nervous look and I knew he was going to talk.
"So what did you want to talk about?" He asked.
"Ah, actually I just wanted to thank you for taking care of us. Um...and thank you for waiting so long. I think I am finally ready to think about us...I mean about you. Can you please wait for some more time?" I said, not able to meet his eyes.
He broke into a shy smile.
I couldnt help but blush.

An awkward silence surrounded us. His cheeks and ears turned red while I couldnt even look up from the floor.

Finally he cleared his throat.
"Ahem, well, yeah, I am definitely ready to wait for a little more. I have waited for so long and of course I can wait for more. Take your time. You can tell me once you are ready." He smiled sweetly.
I nodded, my cheeks burning.
We continued to eat.

"Are you all set to go?" Jin asked as he stood at the door to leave.
I nodded. "Yes."
He smiled. "Sorry I have to go. It's an urgent meeting since I will be leaving tomorrow. And tell Min Gyu, I will meet him tomorrow."
I nodded. "Goodnight, Jin-ssi."
He leaned down to kiss my cheeks.
I held my breath.
"Goodnight." He whispered in my ear.
A shudder ran through my spine.
