"You got a delivery."

"This early?" Seokjin questioned as he walked down the stairs, he was running late again, but he didn't feel bad about this one. If he hadn't stayed up late working yesterday, he would still be fighting with Namjoon, which means they wouldn't be together- ish.

He buttoned his coat as he came into the living room, looking around for what his father was talking about.

"Where?"

"Oh its these flowers." Mr Kim said extending the bouquet of red beautifully arranged roses, they were wrapped in a gold cover, a note by the side.

"For me?" He asked not sure that would be his. He took it, grabbing the note. A simple good morning was written in the middle, and he furrowed his eye brows, before it dawned on him who they might have been from.
He bit his lip to suppress a smile, his cheeks tinted in pink as he remembered Namjoon asking to woo him, guess he wasn't joking. He looked at the flowers, caressing the the soft red petals, admiring the richness in colour. He loved them.

His dad cleared his voice loudly "Who are they from." He questioned not missing the blush on the Omega's face.

"ummm, it's from a friend."

"Friends sending flowers in the morning, that's believable." His father teased, while the omega smiled knowing his father wouldn't let it die down.

"Come on, I'll drive you to the hospital." He said trying to change the topic.
"Your already late son, I can drive myself."
"A couple of more minutes wouldn't hurt, come on." He pressured wanting to spend more time with his old man.

"Only if you promise to tell me about this mystery guy." Mr Kim said as they left.

"Its not a mystery guy dad, I told you its just a friend."

"Do I get to meet this friend then?" Seokjin chuckled. He was always happy with how his dad tried to be present for their love lives, or relationships, he played an active role in guidance.

"We'll see dad." He said while they pulled to the street. He didn't want to make any promises to anybody, even to himself, Namjoon and him were only starting to go out, whatever it was between them was still young, and bringing anyone to it, even family wasn't the best idea. They were still directionless, and he wanted only the two of them in it until that changed.

"Appa, has taehyung talked to you yet?"

Mr Kim sighed, the issue with Taehyung was still unsolved, and it stressed him to no need that his youngest son had basically ran from home.
"Yeah, he texts me every few days to check in, he says he's alright, and we shouldn't worry about him, he's going to school just fine and he's safe too. I wanted to meet him at school, but then I thought that is maybe his safe place now that he doesn't want to come home, I couldn't risk him running from there too, in case he doesn't want to talk to me still."

Seokjin sighed, at least taehyung was checking in with his dad. His own texts and calls went unanswered even Yoongi's. He couldn't really see the whole picture due to what the twins were hiding, and he feared the damage that would occur with the secrets that were starting to brew in their family.

"Don't worry dad, he'll come around, you know how teenagers are, I just hope he knows we are here to help him with whatever he's going through."

"Your mother made it seem so easy, she was on top of everything with you and Yoongi, she didn't miss a thing when you two were the twins age, I just wish I was the same, I wish I could get to them like she did with you guys, I feel blind when am with them, there's a lot of things I can't see that are in plain sight, and it makes me feel so bad, because I don't know what to do."

"Appa. Don't say that, your the best dad out there, you don't need to compare yourself to mum to see that, she had her own way to reach us, and you had your own, remember how you knew yoongi was skipping school, or how you knew we were getting bullied as soon as it happened, even mum couldn't see that sometimes, am sure you get to Yeri and Taehyung just the same, you can't see everything dad, that's where mum came in, you covered for each other the parts you each could reach, but she's no longer with us, and its bound to create a gap. Am sure tae will come around, he just needs some time like he said, its great that he recognizes that despite being young."

"I feel like we switched roles here, are you the parent now?"
Seokjin bubbled a laugh at that. "Sometimes yes, I feel like the parent to all of you."

"Do you know where he is?" His dad asked still desperate to confirm his son wasn't suffering, he had tried getting some answers, but he hadn't found a solid one yet.
"Not really, I think its a friend's place, although yeri might know, they are covering for each other again."

"You should know, you and Yoongi were masters at it, you wouldn't give each other up for anything."

"Still wouldn't."

"Oh, you kids, you four would make anyone go crazy." He joked, memories of his kids in his mind.

"Appa, you know you don't have to give up any more for us now, you've given us a lot, our whole lives, the last thing we need to do is take away from you, Yeri and Tae are probably gonna be in college in a couple of months, and I can take care of myself. You don't have to give up the hospital too, you've had it before we even came around, almost everyone I know knew you as doctor Kim first before they even knew you were my father, you don't have to quit, or retire, its who you are."
Seokjin stopped as his dad just stared at him.

"What?"

"You sound a lot like your mother you know, she knew so well, just like you." They were silent for a minute, both reminiscing .

"I miss her."

"I miss her too son......I don't want to retire only because of that, I have been doing this for almost thirty years now, maybe its time I take a permanent break from it, but it doesn't mean am not a doctor anymore, remember what gives us a tittle.....is the passion we have at heart ...." He said together with his father. ".....and I can never lose that, and you kids aren't any burden to me at all, I would give anything to you anytime, remember that."

"Ok dad, were here." Seokjin said, as he stopped by the hospital.

"Thank you, you know what this means."

"Yeah, I'll pick you up, or send yoongi to do so, and your forgetting your lunch dad." Seokjin said, passing the man the brown bag. He took it by the window thanking his son once more before wishing him a good day and disappearing into the building.

Seokjin drove off to his work, his worries slowly disappearing as he neared the office and thoughts of Namjoon and flowers filled his mind. He walked into the hallways all smiles as he thought about the alpha.

"Mr Kim." Yugeom called as he caught up to the omega. Yugeom was their shared secretary, among them, but seokjin barely needed him for anything, so he raised a brow turning around to meet the young man.

"You had a delivery this morning, I put it your office."

"Ok thank you." He said, yugeom leaving after, he turned to see board members moving to the conference Namjoon in the middle chatting away with them, Wendy was beside him and she looked up, smiling widely at Seokjin, that was weird.

He ignored it, moving to his office. Another bouquet of flowers sat at his desk wrapped differently. He picked it reading the card. 'In case you did not get the other one. P. S I know you like these too

He smiled softly, looking at the orange flowers. Namjoon was really something. He placed them on the table by the window admiring them a moment before moving to his desk, his papers were arranged back on his desk, his files in order, he sat down on that smile still lingering on his face. Today was going to be a good day.

"Hey...I came in here earlier, and you were late....again." Hoseok said letting himself into the Omega's office.
Seokjin looked up smiling at the beta.
"Sorry, I drove my dad to work, did I miss something?"

"No, I just wanted to remind you of the event tonight, I got off early yesterday and I forgot about......are those flowers?" He cut himself off, looking at the table, then Seokjin.

"Uh yeah." Seokjin didn't know what to actually say, he couldn't lie to Hoseok, and he had yet to tell him Namjoon and him were going out.

"Are they from......"

Seokjin stood up meeting his best friend around the desk.
"Ummm, we are going out."

"When?"

Seokjin didnt know how to put it, apart of him wasn't sure what the beta would make of him, he was his best friend after all and his approval mattered to him.

"Namjoon asked me to go out with him, and I said yes, we are seeing each other now."

"Your dating." Hoseok asked as the omega took his hands in his.
"I know, its quick and I didn't let you know a lot, but, I like him, and he likes me too, genuinely, the first in a few years really, I want to do this with him."

Hoseok moved his hands from the Omega's, "Jin.....am happy for you and all, but you and Namjoon? you work together, he's our boss, people are gonna give you crap about this, and if the board catches on this, they might complicate things for you, a lot of things could go wrong, I just...." Hoseok breathed, the last thing he wanted was for Seokjin to suffer, this little thing could go left so fast, he wasn't ready for that.

Seokjin took the betas hands back into his, desperate to get him on board.
"I know, I know, which is why I need you to keep it a secret."

"You two are not being very discreet."
Hoseok glanced over to the flowers to put his point across.

"Yeah, that......tell me am not making a mistake here, I have only known Namjoon a couple of months, you've known him longer, am I making the right choice here."

"Jesus, your not getting married, your just dating......" He laughed the omega blushing. "......but if that's how you feel, then go right ahead, Namjoon is a great guy, I think, although I don't know a lot about his dating life......I approve........kind of.

"I'll take that, thank you."

"Your welcome sweets, just don't get yourself in trouble.....who am kidding your dating the CEO."

Seokjin giggled letting go of the beta's hands.

"Anyway, I came in here to tell you about the event tonight, what are you going to wear?"

"I don't know."

"You better be kidding, we might be receiving an award tonight, am telling you, you want to look your best."

"What are you wearing." Seokjin asked, happy hoseok still had that spank of fashion, he was probably going to go all out tonight, and he knew the beta wasn't going to allow him to look like trash beside him."

"You've picked for me haven't you." He asked knowing the hoseok.

"What No...........I picked a few, I couldn't settle on one."
Seokjin laughed while the other pulled out his phone to show him his choices, hoseok still internally conflicted between bringing the CEO'S past to light or letting the omega have his happiness. Either way it was going to play a part in the relationship despite the alpha claiming being a changed man.
