Chapter 92: Underestimated

           Jimin had to admit it, Taehyung made a good point as to why the bodyguard was as innocent as he seemed. Jungkook at the moment, was clingy and overprotective since his husband was expecting. So, there was a reason to Jungkook's bitter attitude towards Joo-Ho. “Alright… Thanks, Taehyung! I'll call you later so we could talk again. Ah, it feels like I've grown apart from Yoongi and grew close to you!” Jimin stated and let out a chuckle. “I'll call you soon, bye!”

              “Bye!” Taehyung spoke and hung up after. The beta sat there with his pup in his arms and smiled at him. “We should see them soon, right? It'll be fun!” The beta told his pup and gave him a squeeze into the hug. “Ah! How are you so adorable?! I can't wait to adopt you…” Taehyung cooed and just then, Yoongi walked in and pulled down his black face mask and made a smile that faded into a blank expression after. “Yoongi! Smile like you mean it!”

             “I'm sleepy. I should be asleep right now while I'm on my break.” Yoongi added and placed his hands on his hips before clapping his hands together. “Where's my prince?” Yoongi asked and walked up as Ju-won looked up and started to giggle and jump into his arms excitedly. “Missed me, hm?” Yoongi asked into a coo while Taehyung was gazing up at the two happily. He always sought to find Yoongi's love towards having pups, even if it took a little push and a little conversation after the storm. “What do you want to eat?”

             “Don't ask him that! The only words he knows is ‘Hi’ and ‘Daddy’ so, he'll say-”

             “Daddy!” The pup repeated the only words he knew as Taehyung then began to laugh while Yoongi bounced the pup in his arms.

              “Anyways, that crazy horse isn't bothering you, right?” Yoongi asked and tilted his head to look at Taehyung even after a second delay. “..right?”

              “Crazy horse..? Hoseok? Ah, stop doing that! Calm down my little meow meow, he's not bothering me.” Taehyung laughed and hit Yoongi's shoulder and caused the alpha to then try to hide his smile and keep a serious glare.

             “A-Ah you're abusing me now? Ju-won, protect daddy!” Yoongi laughed as the pup then placed his small hand over Yoongi's small nose after to giggle. “Oh look, now he's trying to kill me.”

              “Stop exaggerating and get out of here.~” Taehyung concluded and stood up to give his alpha a kiss on the lips and give Ju-won a kiss on the forehead. “I need to work. Just a few more scenes until the end and by there, I'll wait for the premiere.” Taehyung assured and watched his husband carry the pup out of the dressing room after. Leaving Ju-won to keep his stare at Taehyung like he wanted to stay longer.

              “Alright, what do you want to do now?” Yoongi asked walking out of the set until, he bumped into Hoseok who was writing something down into a clipboard. The whole set was silent since another scene was being shot at the moment.

             “YOU ALMOST KILLED ME- oh, hi Yoongi. Who's this little cutie?” Hoseok asked with a big smile and made the pup giggle after as he then looked at the actor who stopped his lines since Hoseok threw him off. “Give me a second, Yoongi.” Hoseok said and lifted the megaphone to his mouth and spoke, “DO IT AGAIN I WASN'T LISTENING!” Practically shouting into the microphone. “FROM THE TOP, ACTION! anyways, who's this?” Hoseok asked into a whisper after raising his tone into the megaphone.

             “This is Ju-won. He's my future son. Taehyung and I will adopt him soon.” Yoongi announced his whisper as Hoseok was gazing at the pup and making him smile. “He's a handful.”

            “Ah, I could only imagine! He's adorable. Good luck with raising the pup, I-” Unexpectedly, the actor on set missed a sentence and this caused Hoseok to suddenly point his focus directly on the actor and make a smile like he was seconds away from shouting. “CUT! What was that? Are you trying to kill me? Do it over, scene ninety-eight from the top! Ah.. You're very no fun,  I should burn you.” Hoseok said into the microphone as some members in the crew began to laugh at Hoseok saying this in a calm tone so he wouldn't scare the pup right next to him. “Whoever laughs, they clean the set after we wrap up!” The alpha said and with that everyone grew silent. “Good. ACTION!” Hoseok ordered into the megaphone and looked back at Yoongi. “Good luck, I have work.”

            “Alright, see you around.” Yoongi finished off the short conversation and walked out of the building with Ju-won in his arms. Despite the issues they faced before in the tricky love triangle, they were able to handle seeing each other almost every single day; yet, they weren't as close as they were before. Rather, more distant than ever with only under one minute conversations. Either way, Yoongi liked it like this. Not wanting his husband to fall back into those feelings he had for Hoseok before. Yoongi got inside the car and ensured the belt was locked on the pup in his small  seat. “So, this is my first day taking care of you on my own…” Yoongi said as the pup kept his stare at him. “I'm trying to be a good dad to you, so if you don't like me, let me know now…” Yoongi told the pup and within seconds, Ju-won slammed his hand over the alpha's nose once again and started to giggle afterwards.

           “Daddy!”

           “Alright, good enough.” Yoongi replied and watched how his pup's smile outlined the lovely gaze of his eyes and the red complexion on his cheeks with slightly deep dimples showing there too. “I… love you too…” The alpha whispered and gave the young beta a kiss on the forehead before he pulled back and closed the car door so he could drive home after. Him saying that he grew to love the pup as a son, meant so much to the alpha after years and years of claiming he didn't want the responsibility of raising a pup on his own.
_______________________________________

          Later on the day, Jimin was sitting on the couch drinking tea after eating a big meal of stew and fried chicken while Minho ate chicken wings dipped into sweet BBQ and lightly salted french fries. Joo-Ho and Jimin both ate fried, spicy peppered and lemon-squeezed chicken after and feasted on braised beef and vegetable stew. The bowl alone would have it's spices, but this one was kept mild for Jimin. Within the bowl, the steamed beef was marinated into the sweet soup with diced scallions, steamed carrots and cuts of seaweed sprinkled over the beef stew. Joo-ho was surprised Jimin had a big appetite, but he wasn't too held up on it. Knowing that Jimin carried twins, he understood that Jimin was eating for two more.

            Silence filled the room within seconds and Minho was still eating BBQ fried chicken as his lips and cheeks were covered in the dark crimson color of the sweet sauce Minho dipped his fried chicken in and the ketchup Minho ate with his french fries. “Ah, he's such a messy eater.” Joo-Ho said and watched how Minho gazed up at the bodyguard and tried to offer one of his fries.

             “He takes after Jungkook.” Jimin played along and took a sip out of the tea Joo-Ho brewed for him after the meal. Jimin then noticed how the bodyguard got down on his knees to wipe the mess from Minho's face and didn't stop until there was no sight of a stain on the pup's pale face. “It's better to wait until he's done eating or else he'll make a bigger mess.” Jimin suggested and the alpha looked back at Minho to see that the pup already made another stain on his own face.

             “Ah, Minho you should eat with caution. You must've gotten your clothes dirty!” Joo-Ho said and looked at the pup's collar. “I stand corrected.” Joo-Ho then laughed to himself as Jimin remembered a moment like this between Jungkook and himself. It was during the first time Jimin was being mentored by the alpha and had a meal together; Jimin made a mess on himself and this caused his arrogant future husband, Jeon Jungkook, to lean in and wipe the stains from the corners of the omega's lip. It all felt like a movie to Jimin, he recalled such a lovely moment he spent with his husband before marriage, before pups and even, before Kyunsji. All was calm back then and Jimin couldn't help but to tear up a little at the thought of it.

             “Mr. Jeon Jimin… Are you alright?” Joo-Ho wondered as Jimin nodded his head and let out an assuring chuckle.

           “I just… Miss those old days.” Jimin replied and dried his tears with the sleeves of his beige cream sweater. “Before the mess…”

           “Minho is sorry… Minho will eat clean from now on, Daddy!” Minho promised thinking he was the reason why Jimin teared up so suddenly.

            “It's not you, best friend!” Joo-Ho assured and hugged the pup before looking up at Jimin after. “Do you need some time alone?”

            “No.. No it's fine.” Jimin assured and took a moment looking down at his cup of tea. “You're so close to Minho. I almost forgot how good you are with pups since you have one of your own.”

             “I do. But I just don't see him at all. He lives with my ex wife.” The alpha spoke and then tried to wipe each stain that appeared over the pup's face. “I wish I could but I might hurt him and her if I see them again.”

           “Why would you hurt them…? Don't you love them?”

           “Well.. Um… My ex wife is claimed by another and I can't see that or else I get jealous. I get embarrassed when I mention it... I never wanted to break the marriage since we were so happy. But she had to since she just didn't love me anymore. Guess we loved too soon and eventually, she got tired of holding on.” The man confessed and stood up to sit next to Jimin on the couch while Minho was silent and continued eating.

          “Then… Why did you suddenly want to become our bodyguard? Did you want purpose again?”

           “Somewhat. I'm the type that would do something outside my comfort zone after something tragic to get my mind off it. So, I became a bodyguard. She left me because she was tired of me and I couldn't help but to feel like I needed to do something else with my life and that was to come here.” Joo-Ho continued and then, Jimin realized that there was no strings attached. He was just like any other innocent person out there. Not really a threat to the family like how Jungkook mentioned his flaws like before. “I think… At times Jungkook thinks I'm somewhat of a threat… I'm not. I tried to prove myself multiple times to make him realize that I'm no threat.”

         “You need to understand that Jungkook is very cautious. There's no way I can tell him you're not a threat because he'll step all over my words and still say what he thinks you are. You can't blame him for being overprotective. Please bear with me on that one…” Jimin claimed and kept his gaze back at the pup who was eating silently. By there, he didn't realize that the bodyguard smiled right at him and nodded his head. Understanding that this was how Jungkook felt and there was no way to change his mind through that.

          “I see… You're such a nice person, Jeon Jimin…” Joo-Ho said and leaned back against the couch. “I believe… We're all going to get along pretty well... Don't you think so too?~”
