Chapter 22
"Huh?" Kim Taehyung was even more confused by seeing his nephew apologizing to him out of nowhere. He had no idea why Seokjin was asking sorry to him. In his heart and mind, according to Taehyung his nephew had done no wrong.
"I-I feel like I will die with regret if I don't apologize to you. I-I have done so many bad things to you, I treated you very ill manner but still you were there for me. I-I am sorry for seeing you as a disgusting person. Y-You have shown me that appearance doesn't matter as long as the heart is pure.
P-Please forgive me, Ahjussi. I-I would understand if you don't want to talk with me or be with me. But please do know that I realized my mistake. I-I would never treat anyone like that anymore. "
Taehyung's heart melted by looking at his favorite person crying infront of him. He wandered how could one person have so many tears in their eyes. He softly brought his hands over Jin's cheeks before wiping away those precious tears.
The action made Seokjin to cry even more loudly by getting such care from the person whom he had hurt the most.
"You will be my favorite person in the world no matter what you do, Seokjin. I-I am glad that now you are doing okay. Yes, I did get hurt when you treated me like that, but I was happy that at least you acknowledged me as some weird fellow.
Don't stress yourself. Noona and I would never give up on you. And there's nothing there for me to forgive you. You were blinded by bad things. You are really lucky to have such friends and family. I hope you love them just like they love you."
With that Taehyung patted Jin's cheeks before letting himself inside their house. He wanted to walk away from that place since he didn't want to cry infront of his nephew. He never expected Kim Seokjin to apologize to him.
He would never lie though. He was hurt by every words that Kim Seokjin said to him. But he could never hate his nephew. Rather he had some deep connection towards that boy who always argue and fight with him.
On the other side, Kim Seokjin sniffled his nose while arranging his bed for studies. He knew that he had no time to fun around. He had lots of projects on the cue and especially Mr. Kim Namjoon's project which was due by the next weekend.
Jin couldn't help but smile softly by thinking about the events that happened in English class. He remembered how Taehyung wanted to shift partners but Jin was persistent in not changing it. He looked at the clock only to see it was six past thirty in the evening. He still had more time till his mother comes from the restaurant.
With a soft hum, Jin took out his notes from the bag and a pen by placing it on the table. He decided to take a quick shower before starting his assignment. He exactly took seven minutes of shower and applied lotion for the skin.
After putting his pyjamas he took the necessary things and opened his bedroom door only to find his Ahjussi watching Tom and Jerry on the television.
If it was old Seokjin, he would get irritated and yell at the person. But instead of yelling, he smiled before walking towards the sofa where Taehyung was sitting comfortably.
When Taehyung felt movements, he turned aside with wide eyes to see Seokjin sitting beside him and placing things on the table. He was dumbstruck by seeing his nephew arranging the things before looking at him directly through the eyes.
Taehyung gulped hard by the intense look from Jin who was wiggling his eyebrows in a teasing manner. His Ahjussi immediately shook his head and turned his attention towards the television only to be distracted by his nephew's sweet voice.
"Ahjussi~" Taehyung slowly turned his direction to Seokjin who was nibbling the pen cap with a notebook on his other hand.
"We have an assignment to finish, Ahjussi. Can we start now?" Once Taehyung heard the word 'Assignment' he jumped from the sofa and jogged to the kitchen to grab his bag and things. Jin couldn't help but giggle at the enthusiastic behavior of his Ahjussi.
I mean who would get excited for doing assignments? But Kim Taehyung was different and Seokjin kind of starting to like this side of his Ahjussi.
He patiently waited for Taehyung to bring the notes and soon they both found themselves indulging in researching about topics that they wanted to do for the English assignment.
"How about illiteracy?" Kim Seokjin said after lot of thinking about the project title. He wanted to cover something that both were well aware off. Seokjin had heard his mother speaking about his little brother who left out the school due to financial problems. And there are so many children and students who are very eager to study but couldn't because of circumstances.
Although Taehyung liked the idea, he felt like it was directed towards him.
"Are you mentioning me in this topic, Seokjin?"
The question caught Jin off guard and he felt little shame by delivering his idea in a wrong terms.
"No, no Ahjussi. I didn't mean you. I wanted to cover the students who is dropping out of school for various reasons. Although to be honest I got the idea based on you. I have seen mother talking so much about you and your desire to pursue higher studies. But if you aren't comfortable, we can change the topic."
Kim Taehyung didn't feel shamed for Seokjin mentioning him in the topic illiteracy. But he wasn't sure if he could do some projects on it.
"How about we do something related to cooking?"
"Cooking?" Kim Seokjin was confused by his Ahjussi's idea. He wasn't sure what he meant, so he asked Taehyung to explain it in further detailed manner.
"Well, mostly people think women are supposed to cook. And in my village, the men used to order women to cook and bring delicious foods But after I came here, there are so many posters and channels where men are working as chefs. So how about we try to break the stereotype."
"And how do you think that we are going to break it."
"By learning to cook ourselves. We both can get help from Noona and we can make our own recipe and submit it as our project. "
Kim Seokjin found himself smiling by the idea of his Ahjussi. Of course his dream was to build a big restaurant for his mother in the heart of the city of Seoul. And he also loved the idea of creating a new recipe and putting in the menu on their restaurant special.
"You have some sexy brain, Ahjussi."
Kim Taehyung found himself blushing by the compliment especially coming from his nephew. Seokjin was already writing down his favorite food items and brainstorming ideas for a new recipe. While Taehyung was busy in stealing some glances of his nephew who was biting his pen cap as his usual habit cutely.
