I still remember. Do You? ꒰ა yoonmi... - Chapter 24: Chapter 24

" Jiminie when will we reach there? " Yoonjun looks from the passenger seat to stare at Jimin. Since Jimin didn't have any child seat with him, and the regular seat was too deep for him; the child wasn't able to see the outside view through window. And started getting bored, he has already asked the same question almost 10 times in the past 5 minutes.
" I told you just a bit longer."
Jimin tries his best to not loose his patience, he doesn't want to make Yoonjun uncomfortable in his presence.
" I wanna hear music."
He points at the music player, Jimin was about to turn it on when he remembered the kind of songs that are saved in there. He doesn't think it'd he appropriate to let a child hear them, even though Yoonjun wouldn't understand half of those words.
" It doesn't work."
He gave him a lame excuse. Making the already upset child even more upset.
" Hey, kiddo..."
Jimin has been trying his best to avoid saying Yoonjun's name. It's just that he doesn't think he could use the name that he cherished so deeply, for anyone else. It would take him some time to come to term with that.
Yoonjun has also observed that, but he didn't push Jimin to say his name. Even though he was confused as to why would he do so. It's just a name after all.
Jimin taps his finger on the steering wheel before continuing what he was saying before.
" My dad would be in the house with us, so whatever I say about you to my dad just nod your head along, okay? "
He hopes that the child would agree without any questions, cause he doesn't really know how to explain it to him.
" Why? "
Yoonjun asks with his big doe like eyes. He's a kid after all, it's in his nature to get curious about things.
" It's like some kind of game that me and my dad play."
Jimin sees Yoonjun make an 'o' shape with his mouth, looking like he is convinced by that.
" Is it fun? "
He asks after thinking for some time.
" Yes, very fun. So just nod your head to whatever I say."
" Okay."
" Thanks." Jimin heaved a sigh of relief, now all he had to do was act nicely in front of his dad. Something that he sucks greatly at.
" Master Jimin, you're back earl- Huh! Who's this? "
The head servant's sharp gaze fall on the little boy that's trying his best to hide behind Jimin. He became wary of the stranger and since Jimin was the only known person, he used him as his shield.
Jimin carefully brings him forward from behind to introduce him.
" He's Taehyung's nephew. He'll stay with us for some time."
Yoonjun looks confused at the introduction but he remember what Jimin has told him in the car so he just nod his head along.
" Welcome, little master."
He bows down for the little boy and Yoonjun replies back with a bow too.
" Thank you, ahjussi."
His bright smiles made even the head servant come out of his serious demeanor.
" Give this to me, I'll take it to one of the guest rooms."
He takes the luggage from Jimin's hands and opened the door to let them inside.
Yoonjun's little eyes went wide as he was left stunned on seeing how big the house was. His lips were agape in shock and his eyes refused to blink. He has never been to a house this big before. He felt like he just entered a fairytale.
The house was exactly like those he would see in the dramas. Covered in white marbel, and tall glass windows that allowed the sun rays to peek inside. In the center was a huge chandelier stuck to the ceiling. His heart was fluttering like a butterfly seeing all this.
" Is dad home ?"
Jimin asks when he heard his father's voice; cause he usually isn't back home before dinner time.
" He wasn't feeling well so he took half day off."
Jimin rushes to see his father on hearing that, making Yoonjun run after him too.
" Dad! "
" Jimin ah." Jihoon puts down the tablet from his hand and stood up to see Jimin looking at him with worried puppy eyes.
" Samchun told me you're not feeling well, what happened? "
Jimin inspects his father's face carefully, making Jihoon laugh. He held Jimin's hand to make him stop.
" Nothing serious, just a little headache. I'll be fine once I take some rest."
Jimin isn't satisfied just by that, he knows his father tends to overwork himself and then forgets to take a rest. Which results in his poor health.
" Huh, we have a guest? "
Jihoon's eyes fall on the little boy who shyly made his way towards Jimin, his curious eyes peeking at Jihoon.
" He's Taehyung's cousin."
Jimin uses the lie that he has already framed very well in his head with a backstory in case he need to use it.
" Taehyung is out of town, so he'll stay with us for the time being."
There's a anxious thought in his head that tells him his father might not believe that lie, but fortunately he did.
" Hello, little guy! "
Jihoon comes foward to greet the little boy. Seeing the stranger smile Yoonjun tries to relax a bit. He saw the similarity between his and Jimin's face and came to a conclusion that he's Jimin's father.
He bowed at the elder first, just like how his father taught him to do when he introduce himself to an elder.
" Hello harabeoji, I'm Yoonjun."
" What a nice name for such a nice boy! " Jihoom pats the boy's head in affection and Yoonjun turns to look back at Jimin with a proud smile. Feeling happy with the compliment.
" I hope you enjoy your stay here. Think of it as your house. Tell me if you need anything."
The boy politely nods at him. He starts to feel comfortable around Jihoon because of how kindly he treats him.
That makes him think why Jimin isn't the same as his father?
" Aigoo, he's so cute Jimin ah. He remind me of you when you were little."
Jihoon says to which Jimin gave a fake smile, but on the inside it only made him feel more weird.
" Dad, you should go and rest for some time. I'll wake you up for dinner."
He deliberately pushes his father away. Thinking he would get caught if his father keeps asking Yoonjun any more questions.
" Okay, okay I'm going to my room."
He stops Jimin to talk one last time to Yoonjun.
" Yoonjun ah, Jimin will help you settle in okay? If you have any problem just tell him."
With that he finally disappeared in one of the many hallways that connects to various rooms.
Jimin sighed once his father was out of the sight, he was afraid Yoonjun might slip and reveal his true identity to his father. And it wouldn't be a very ideal thing to happen...
He turns around to see Yoonjun still looking around in awe struck form.
" Come on I'll show you your room."
With that he started walking upstairs, and Yoonjun soon followed him behind like a shadow; jumping like a happy puppy.
Jimin saw the room next to his already opened, meaning the servant has already cleaned it up for Yoonjun so, he brought the boy inside.
" Here, this is your room for the time being."
Just as Yoonjun stepped inside his eyes and brain couldn't concentrate on one thing. He didn't know where should he look first. The room was fully furnished and there were so many decorations. Even though it wasn't what a child would like, it still made Yoonjun very fascinated.
A big king sized bed sat in the middle of the room, there was a big sliding window in the front and a wardrobe adjacent to it. There was also a small book shelf which had some books along with some miniature decorations.
" Junie's room so big."
He goes near to the book shelf but hesitated to touch anything, afraid he'd break it.
So, he goes to sit on the edge of the bed, being careful not to mess up the sheets.
" Jiminie take Junie's picture and send it to appa."
He asks with such sparkling eyes that Jimin just has to obey him. He can't say no to him, as if the boy has bewitched him.
" Fine."
He quickly snaps a few pictures from his phone not even giving Yoonjun time to pose, which made him frown. But he didn't complain and went to Jimin's side to choose one.
When he was finally done choosing, he asked Jimin to send it to his appa. His eyes glued to the screen as he waited for a reply.
" Don't expect an immediate reply, his phone must he turned off since he's on the flight."
Yoonjun got sad on hearing that. He suddenly remembered his father is away from him and that made tears prickle in his eyes. Jimin started panicking when he saw that, not knowing what to do to make him smile.
He tried to make funny faces but it didn't seem to work, the boy was now on his verge of breaking down.
" We can face time him when he arrives there."
" Okay. " Yoonjun cheers up a little on hearing that, at least he could see his father even if it's on a screen; it's okay. And Jimin finally heaved a sigh of relief, but it made him realize how his days are going to be turn into a hell from now.
