Chapter 25
Kim Seokjin and Kim Jisoo were in their own world by sitting in their restaurant with only one light on the center. It's almost midnight, and they both were unsure what to do. They didn't know whether Taehyung's parents were still in their house, or had they already taken him away to their rich house.
But deep inside Jisoo hoped that Taehyung would inform him about it. She had no right to stop her brother, no adopted brother from making decisions. If Taehyung wanted to go with his parents, he was free to do it. She had no sayings in this.
After what felt like hours, Jisoo decided to face the consequences. She patted her son's shoulder who immediately flinched by the soft touch. Seokjin who was having emotionless eyes, looked at his mother with wide alpaca eyes.
"M-Ma?" Jisoo softly ruffled his smoothy hair before signaling her son to get up.
"It's already late, Seokjin. Let's head home."
With a nod, Jisoo and her son closed their restaurant and started to walk their way to their home. Several thoughts were running in their mind and they both were not ready to share. Only street lights were guiding them to find their path in the midnight.
"I am sorry, Seokjin. You have college tomorrow, and I just made you work and have a sleepless night. Get rest well now, okay?"
A sad smile played on Jin's lips while looking at the empty road that just reflected like his empty heart. He could feel his lips trembling by thinking about the question he was going to ask his mother. Although, he was prepared for anything, deeply he hoped positively.
"W-Will Ajhussi be there, Ma?"
Jisoo who was walking slowly stopped her tracks along with her son who was looking at her with teary eyes. She could see the sign of concern that was in Jin's eyes.
Oh! How she wished she had an answer for Jin's question. How she wished the same.
With a heavy sigh, Jisoo held Kim Seokjin's arms and started to walk together without any response. Jin pouted with a disappointment, and without further questions, he continued to obey his mother's path.
"Seokjin, whether Taehyung stays or leaves is not our decision. We must respect his choice and support him. We both must be happy for him that he found his family where he naturally belonged to."
Those words made Seokjin to pout by thinking about the harsh reality.
"I-I can't accept it, Ma. I-I just can't believe it. I mean why now? After all these years, how come they find Ahjussi now? Can't it be like three or four years before? How come all of a sudden when everything sets right, now they come and take Ahjussi away?"
Kim Seokjin started to ramble his thoughts that was running in his head. He was unaware of his words of choice but still he expressed his feelings to his mother who was carefully listening to her son.
Jisoo softly held Seokjin's arms making her son to halt and turn aside to look at her.
"I am happy that finally you have started to like Taehyung. I know it must hurt you. Because when something you like gets snatched right away hurts you a lot. But that's how life is Seokjin. You know, you disliked him at first, but now you are fighting for him. I too never expected that after all these years, they would find Taehyung. I guess fate is in not our side, Seokjin. And it's not in our hands either. We must learn to let go.
Whatever is yours will come to you and whatever is not coming was never yours. So our Taehyung is one lucky guy. Their parents came back for him."
Kim Seokjin so badly wished to roll his eyes by his mother giving him long speech. Though, his mother was right, he was not ready to accept it.
"Well, if you hadn't posted Ahjussi 's profile in the website, no one would have come back to him. And he would be ours."
With an irritated huff, Seokjin said and walked with his shoulders slumped like he was not happy. Jisoo shook her head with a little smile, and jogged over to her son who was still looking grumpy.
They both soon reached their home, and they could see that their door was slightly open. Seokjin and Jisoo looked at each other before peeking their head inside the opened door, only to find that the lights were off. They both frowned by seeing there were no signs of anyone.
Seokjin and Jisoo entered their home, and switched on the living door lights only to get shocked by seeing Kim Taehyung sitting in the middle of the sofa.
"You are back~" Kim Taehyung gave them a boxy smile making Jin's heart to flutter happily. He could feel his tears forming in his eyes, and before he could blink, he was already jumping on his Ahjussi who immediately caught him by his thighs.
"A-Ahjussi, you are here. Oh my god, y-you are here~" Jin hiccuped through his cries, and nuzzled his face in Taehyung's neck who was awkwardly holding him by looking at his Noona who was crying by her mouth closed.
For the past hours, Seokjin and Jisoo were breathing without knowing what was happening. But now after seeing Kim Taehyung still in their house, and waiting for them made both of them happy.
Kim Taehyung softly patted Seokjin's back in comfort. Seokjin shook his head and tightly circled his arms around Taehyung's neck and continued to drench his Ahjussi's tshirt with his tears. Kim Seokjin's heart felt ease by being close with Taehyung and he was feeling that he could finally breathe properly.
"I-I am leaving, Noona."
And just like that Seokjin who was holding tightly loosened his grip on his Ahjussi's tshirt and he lifted his head from Taehyung's neck. His eyes looked in disbelief at Taehyung who was controlling his cries. And just now, Seokjin could clearly see the puffy eyes, red cheeks of his Ahjussi indicating him that the other had cried.
