Summary: Jungkook’s hiatus/paternity leave has come to an end and your twins are having to say goodbye to their daddy before he goes back on tour with the group.
Genre: Fluff, parenthood, a little sad (It’ll get better)
Typically I can tell if it’ll be a good or bad day depending on how the morning goes and how the twins are feeling, but today was a special exception. Jungkook is going back on tour for the first time since the group took a pause after the twins were born. Bangtan was on tour during my pregnancy and Jungkook was able to get a break for the birth of his children, but immediately finished off the tour.
The group then went on a semi-hiatus, meaning they just took a long break, recorded a new album, performed at small music shows to promote the songs, and took another long break. But they never actually left the country. Jungkook has been by my side for the past two years, raising our little babies, but He and I both know that he needs to keep his career going. The last thing the group needs is to fade away and become irrelevant.
Last night Jungkook and I woke up by our two-year-olds at the side of our bed, both of them holding their stuffed bunnies and wanting to sleep with us. He just gave in and lifted them into the big, king-sized bed and they cuddled into their father’s sides and fell asleep in seconds. I knew right then and there that today was going to be difficult.
I woke up and turned to see our son and daughter completely on top of my husband, fast asleep. “Oh, boy…” I muttered to myself. I tapped Jungkook on the arm and he opened his eyes, attempting to get up. He froze when he saw two tiny bodies on him and laughed quietly. He wrapped his arms around the two of them and Got out of bed carefully. The twins both woke up once gravity coaxed them out of sleep and they felt their father’s tight grip.
They wiggled and he let them down to start walking and they all followed me to the kitchen for breakfast. I put our kids in their high chairs and gave them both some granola and yogurt. Our son started to play with his food, poking at the oats with his spoon instead of eating.
“What’s wrong, baby? Did you want something else?” I asked him.
He shook his head and said, “No.” But he still didn’t eat his breakfast. I looked at our daughter and she did the same. She rested her head on her hand and pouted her lip, mixing the granola with the yogurt. It was amazing that our two-year-olds were able to give off such a strong emotion that affected everyone in the room.
Jungkook raised his hand and rubbed the top of his son’s head, encouraging him to feel better. “It’s okay. I’ll be back home before you know it.” Our son nodded and took a spoonful into his mouth, finally eating his food. And of course what one does, the other will follow. His twin sister stopped mixing and started eating too. I sighed in relief and we all enjoyed our meal in peace.
After breakfast, Jungkook and I took the bowls and silverware and put it in the dishwasher. He let the twins off their highchairs and they went running off their room. Jungkook came up behind me and gave me a hug.
“It’ll be okay. I promise.” He whispered. I turned around and hugged him back. “I know.”
We were interrupted by two small pairs of feet racing back into the kitchen. Jungkook smiled when he saw them half dressed and took them back to their room to get ready to leave. I went into the master bedroom and got dressed too. My husband came in a few minutes later and got his bags ready to go before taking a quick shower. I went into the twins room, packing up the diaper bag and doing a final check to make sure we were ready to go. I was pleasantly surprised at how well Jungkook dressed the two of them. Our daughter was in her little green and pink bomber jacket with matching ankle booties and leggings while our son wore his favorite playtime t-shirt and joggers. I grabbed his coat and Jungkoook came out fully dressed with his phone and wallet in hand.
Within minutes, we were all ready and loaded up the car. Jungkook and I decided it would be good to drive to the BigHit building with the twins so they could say goodbye to the other members as well.
We pulled up to the front entrance and I got out of the car. I was relieved to see the crowd of fans far enough away so the twins wouldn’t get nervous. I unbuckled the two kids and they latched onto me as I lifted them out of the car. A few of the staffs came over and unloaded the luggage from the trunk. I followed my husband to the other side of the parking area and let our little ones down. He crouched to their height and they looked at him like a couple of sad puppies.
“I want you two to be good okay?” They both nodded in agreement and kept a pout on their lips. “If you two need anything, call me and I’ll answer.” They nodded again and he gave them a kiss and hug goodbye. He stood up and gave me a tender kiss on my lips. He grabbed his bag and got in the van to go to the airport.
The other members waved and gave the twins high-fives as they all went to the van. Our son and daughter both waved once more and watched them all drive away. They both laughed when they caught sight of uncle Taehyung making silly faces out the back window. They drove around the corner and that was it.
I felt a hot tear roll down my cheek when I saw my two little angels start to cry. I reached down and grabbed their hands and we went back to the car. I tried to put on a brave face while I buckled them in but it was no use. I wiped their tears away and got in the front seat to bring them home as quickly as possible. I know they would feel more relaxed if they were in the comfort of their own home at this point.
Thankfully, by the time we reached the house, they both stopped crying. I turned on their favorite movie and made them a sweet snack to cheer them up. They wiggled their way up onto the couch and became hypnotized by the film and ate their food.
The rest of the day went really smoothly since I was able to distract them. They started to get tired and eventually fell asleep on Jungkook’s spot on the couch. I turned the TV off and scrolled through SNS on my phone.
I saw a notification from Instagram. I opened the app and saw I was mentioned in Jungkook’s post. Jungkook was holding the pink and blue stuffed rabbits in a selfie labeled ‘A gift from my little bunnies’. I took a picture of them all curled up together and sent it to him in a text. I started to feel better about him being gone for a while, but as long as he had a little piece of them, he would feel better too.
