I rarely got calls from an unknown number. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at my son who was busy in doing his homework. I walked little away from him and picked up the call.

"Hello."

"Ah, hello. Is this Jungkook-shi?"

I heard a voice asking for me from the other line. His voice was good, but who is he?

"Speaking."

"Hmm.. I-I am Jin, Jimin's best friend."

"What does that have to do with me?"

I didn't know why he called. Just to inform about his friendship status with my friend's husband?

"Huh? Did Yoongi hyung not tell you about me?"

"About you? Why?" I saw my son peeking at me by biting his pencil.

"Just a second. Taeyeon do your homework. Papa will come now and check." I shouted at him, and he flinched by my voice and started to do his work.

"Sorry you were saying?"

"Jungkook-shi, Jimin set me up a date with you."

Oh right. So this was him?

"To my knowledge, today is not Sunday."

I was getting annoyed by this call. All I wanted was to spend time with child, and help him with homework except mathematics.

"About that..."

I could feel his hesitation in his voice.

"What happened? You can't make it?"

I suddenly felt relieved and hoped that he won't come.

"Yes. So I thought we could reschedule it."

Alright, how about never?

I thought to myself but I didn't want to hurt his feelings, and was thinking how to avoid him.

"Are you free tomorrow?" I asked him. I want to end this before it's too late, so why not meet him tomorrow and tell him I am not interested.

"T-tomorrow sounds good Jungkook-shi. Can I visit your home?"

"Excuse me?"

"I-I don't like to go out to restaurants Jungkook-shi. Plus Taeyeon will be alone."

I didn't know whether he was trying to act innocent and good, or in real he was like this.

"I- Okay, You can come after 6.p.m." I looked over at Taeyeon and he had fallen asleep on the table.

"Alright Jungkook-shi, I will come. Take care."

Before I could say my address to him, he hung up the call.

"Maybe Yoongi hyung would tell him." I sighed heavily, and was in confusion whether to save his name or not.

"Aghh." I groaned and saved his number as "Jin" and made my way to my son, who was leaving soft snores while his face was squished on his book.

I picked him up and he slightly stirred in his sleep and hugged me tightly. After placing him on his bed, I took a shower and lied on my bed.

"Jin, who are you? Why do you accept to date me even though I have a son?" I asked several questions to myself and thought of possibilities, and unconsciously I fell asleep.

--

"Hyung so, tell me about this Jin guy." I asked casually while arranging the flowers. After dropping my son at school, I was fully clouded with thoughts about Jin. I didn't know how he was in person.

I turned to see Yoongi hyung, since he was not replying and I wished I could tear that smirk on his face.

"What?" I asked him. He shook his head and gave me his gummy smile.

"Why do you ask?"

"He called me ye.."

"What? He called you? What did he say? Face time or normal phone call? When are you going to meet? Do you like him?" Yoongi hyung cut me off by shooting several questions. I sighed heavily and placed my hands on his shoulders to stop his silly questions.

"Hyung, let me speak first." He nodded and his eyes were eagerly waiting for my reply.

"He called me yesterday night to tell that he couldn't make it on Sunday." I looked at him, and his face frowned.

"So he asked about rescheduling."

"So when are you going to meet? Don't tell me you are not."

"Today evening at my house, hyung." He clapped his hands like a child making me to chuckle.

"You are more involved in this than me." I shook my head by his reaction.

"Of course I am. You don't know about him Kook. He is such a sweetheart."

"Tell me more about him."

"He worked as a teacher in kindergarten. Then because of some personal reasons he resigned his job and tutoring students who can't afford to go to school."

I nodded and wondered how he would be with my son.

"What about his relationship life?"

"He was in relationship with some Namjoon guy for six months, but they broke up."

I couldn't hide my curiosity and asked him why.

"He cheated on Jin. So he broke up with him. But that was years ago. Right now he is not involved in any relationship."

"Then why did he accept to date me?"

I wondered why a single guy would date a guy who has a son.

"I don't know. When Jimin told him about your son, he instantly asked for Taeyeon's photo. Maybe he likes our Taeyeon."

Or maybe he is trying to get inside my family by using my son as a bait. I will know about his motive when I see him.

I thought to myself.

"Kook, did you clean your house?"

"Why should I?"

"Well, I heard that Jin loved to cook and clean the house. He don't like when it is messy."

I smirked at the new information. Maybe he will leave once he sees my house's condition.

"Anyways when should I pick up Taeyeon?"

Yoongi hyung asked me.

"Ahh Jin told me that he don't want Taeyeon to be alone without me. So he said it was okay for Taeyeon to be in the house." Yoongi hyung arched his eyebrows like he was not buying my words.

"Hyung, I don't have reasons to lie. He said it." I shrugged my shoulders and saw him slowly nodding.

The time went quick, and soon I could see myself standing outside the school gate waiting for my son. I saw him running towards me while holding the strap of his bag and hugged my legs.

"Woah, slow down buddy. What's the rush?" I knelt down to his height and brushed his hair.

"Papa, Jimin uncle said that I could meet my new father today."

My smile faded by his answer.

Am I not enough for him? Don't I show enough love to him?
