Jungkook and Jimin rushed inside the hospital, calling for Uncle Jackson simultaneously.

"Hey..." Jackson hugged both of them.

"Where is Dad? What happened?" Jimin asked anxiously.

"He drove himself... And you, he's clumsy. But don't worry, he is alright... Just some injuries," Jackson consoled both boys.

"Can we see him? Where is he?" Jungkook asked.

"ICU..." He gestured toward the room. Both of them walked towards ICU, looking through the glass door, but curtains hid their view. "Can we go inside?"

"No..." Jackson stopped them. "It's ICU."

After some minutes, Jin opened the door. "Pappa..." Both of them rushed to him.

"What? So both of you have time... I thought you were still with boyfriends..." Taehyung looked down.

"I want to see him," Jimin said.

"He hates his father; I don't know why... But when you start hating him, Jimin..." Jin looked at his son, and his words hurt Jungkook. His eyes brimmed with tears, and he bit his lips.

"Uncle, please..." Tae intervened.

But Jin glared at him. "Did I not tell both of you to pick him up?"

"I forgot. Sorry..." Jimin looked down.

"What about you? Did you also forget, or..."

"I am sorry..." Jungkook looked down.

"Jin, don't scold them. Look at them. They were crying all this time," Jackson said.

"And what about me? I was crying too. I thought we have two children to take care of us. They will be with us when we need them, but look... Both of them forget their father... Ahh... I forget both of them are independent now—jobs, boyfriends... What's the need for a father now?"

"Papa, please..." Jimin shouted.

"Don't raise your voice, Jimin. Almost two hours he lay on the road... What if he died then?"

"No... Please..." Jungkook cried. "It was my mistake..."

"It's my mistake. I believe you..." Jin glared at him. "And don't waste your time... Go home... I will take care of him."

"Papa... We want to see him..." Jimin shouted, and he got a slap.

"He always forgo everything except you, Jimin... Wherever he goes, he took you with him and you should behave like this... This is ICU... Only one person can stand here, and don't let them inside..." He said to the nurse.

"Papa..." Jimin shouted and followed him.

Jungkook sat on the floor. Does he hate his father? No... He loves him. Before knowing who his father is, he started to love him. His eyes started to flow.

"Kooki..." Tae sat beside him and hugged the boy. "Jinni was angry... It's okay... Don't cry... Your Appa is alright."

"I... I love him, hyungi... I love him more than my mom, but I don't know how to show him... I don't know... I..." Jungkook hugged his man. "I love my Appa..."

*******"**

Namjoon looked at the young nurse with a smile. "Don't worry, just do it. Now I am a patient, not your senior doctor."

"I know, sir, but..." She took a deep breath and slowly injected the medicine.

Jin entered the room. "Which medicine?" he asked.

"Tug..." she replied.

"What?" Jin shouted.

"I mean TIG..." She gulped in fear.

"Don't shout at her; she's already scared," Namjoon laughed.

She immediately left the room.

"Did you inform Mom?" Joon asked.

"No, Jackson and Tae are here, and then your two precious, useless children too," Jin sat beside him.

"Don't say it like that. Did you scold them?"

"Yes, I was very angry."

"Poor my boys. They might be scared."

"I don't know, but both of them are crying, and that younger one is shouting at everyone for entering the ICU. I strictly ordered not to let them inside. Jungkook was really looking guilty, and I said something like he hates you."

"Did you hurt my Kooki? How dare you?"

"What? I will break another hand too." Jin glared at him. He had an injury on his forehead, and his left hand was broken.

"Let them inside, Jinni. I want to see them. Please, my baby na. Please." Namjoon begged.

"No, you always choose them over me, and both of them choose their lovers over you. Still want to pamper them."

"Did they? No... maybe they forgot about me." He looked hurt. "Please inform Mom. I want to see her."

"I will, but after changing to a room; otherwise, she will be scared." Jin smiled...

********

"Why did you come alone? You should have called someone, Jooni..." His mother hugged him and kissed his palm. "Thank God my child is okay."

Jungkook and Jimin stood at the corner of the room.

"How did it happen?  Where were you Jin?" She asked.

"My duty was assigned in the evening, Mom. I asked some people to pick him up, but they had some important things," Jin explained.

She looked at Joon again. "I always take care of him like a glass. I never hurt him, not even with a pinch. My son."

"Enough, Mom. What if I had died?"

"Joon..." She shouted. "What are you talking about? If something like that happens, I will die next moment." She cried.

"I called you here for relief," he said.

"Hmm... And you should come home. Don't go to the apartment."

"Yes, me and Jin decided to live in our home. Let both of them stay at the apartment," Namjoon said, looking at his children.

"That's a good one." The old lady smiled. "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"No, just stay with me." He said with a sigh.

***************

"Dada..." Jimin sat beside his father, and Jungkook stood beside him. Namjoon was alone in his room. "Sorry," Jimin said.

"For what?" Joon looked at them.

"It was because of us."

"Who told you? Jin! Aish... That man was angry and sad. That's why. Just forget it."

"Are you angry with us?" Jimin asked.

"No. Why should I?"

"Then why did you decide to go home?"

"My parents are getting old; I am their only child, so..." Joon shrugged. "And what about us? We will be alone."

"Alone! Both of you are grown up now. I think it's time to move on."

"But Dada, we can't live without you. I will break up with Yoongi hyung."

"What are you talking about? Why? Come on, guys. I am alright. I want to live with my parents, that's all. If you want, come home with us."

"Sorry, Dada..." Jimin made a pleading face.

"I told you, it's just a small accident. And the best part, I got some rest. Can you give me coffee, Jimina?"

"Okay..." He immediately left the room.

"Kooki..." Joon called the boy. "Sit here." He patted beside the bed, and Jungkook sat there.

"Did he scold you? I am sorry. That man is an angry bird when it comes to me. He loves you very much, Kooki. Did you ever feel he is your stepmother? If you did, please forgive him. Don't go away from us. Please. If you are uncomfortable with me, stay wherever you want, but don't go back to your village. I don't want to miss you anymore."

"Appa..." Jungkook looked at him. He hugged the man carefully. "I want to live with you, Appa. I am sorry. I don't hate you. I love you." He cried.

"Don't cry, baby. It hurts me. Please." Joon patted the boy with one hand. "It's okay."

"Please don't send me away. I always want to be with you. I love you. I love my Appa. I am sorry." Jungkook cried even more.

"Oh, my baby. Please don't cry. Appa is always with you, but I was thinking about your comfort."

"It's not like that, Appa. I am always guilty thinking about breaking your family. I was scared that if I show my love, what if Jimin and Pappa hate me. I... Sorry, Appa."

"It's okay."

"Hugging without me?" Jimin shouted.

"Yes. Where is coffee?"

"Here... cold coffee."

"I asked for hot coffee," Namjoon said.

"Ahha... Hot coffee is very hot. That's why. Move, let me hug my father." He pulled Jungkook.

"No," Jungkook said.

"Aish... You are so selfish. Tae hyung is flirting with a girl outside."

"Let him. I won't leave my Appa," he declared.

Jimin pouted. "I will join too." He sat beside Jungkook and hugged his father. "I swear I didn't wait for  you because of Yoongi hyung."

"Yes, it's all because of Tae hyung," Jungkook added.

"What's happening here?" Jin entered. "He is hurt, idiots."

"Shut up, Jinni. You manipulate him," Jimin shouted.

"I told you, my children are innocent; it happened because of Taehyung and Yoongi," Joon said to Jin.

"Ahha... Just like father blame partner for their mistakes... no need for a DNA test."

"He is jealous of us, Appa," Jimin said.

"I know," Joon agreed with a smile... He seems happy Jin too..
