He's Mine | Jikook

37| Bonding

We reached 100K, thank you so much! I know I say it all the time, but I'll say it again: I love you guys.

The end of the chapter will be a little dirty, just a warning- in case you feel uncomfortable when characters talk about more intimate topics.

Enjoy :D

"Knock, knock."

Haeun's face immediately lightened up after seeing her father's figure stand in the doorframe and she giggled happily, knowing that someone would finally play with her.

"Daddy!"

"Can I come in?"

She nodded, glancing back at the dollhouse in front of her. Jungkook approached the little girl with a smile and kneeled down too.

"Wanna play with your dolls?"

Haeun seemed to be thinking as she stared at them and then shook her head, suprising the doctor.

"No? But you always ask me to play with you."

"Can we do something else? Mommy plays with my dolls, it's only fun with her."

"Hey, I can be fun too,"Jungkook chuckled and brushed a few strands of hair from her face. His daughter smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. He frowned a little, noticing that something was off with her. Was it because of their fight?

"Haeun, is there anything you want to tell me?"

It was obvious that something bothered her, and Jungkook wanted to know why. He didn't like seeing her upset.

"Honey?"

She opened her mouth to say something, but then seemed to change her mind and closed it again. He waited, hoping that she'd talk to him. Instead, Haeun stood up and walked towards her table.

"Let's draw."

Jungkook didn't want to be pushy and agreed, grabbing some crayons as he took a seat next to her. They started coloring on blank papers and Haeun relaxed, smiling whenever she'd meet his eyes. Jungkook had always liked painting since it helped him let off some steam, so this was actually a good way to distract himself from tonight's drama.

"I'm happy you're playing with me," Haeun spoke up after a few minutes of silence, "I missed you."

The doctor's heart cramped. He really did neglect her, and the fact that something as simple as coloring made her this happy was depressing. Jungkook needed to pay more attention to her, even if he didn't get along with Seohyun. Their conflicts weren't Haeun's fault, so the least he could do was becoming a better parent.

"Sweetheart, you know that I love you, right?" He asked, his voice shaky.

"I love you too, Daddy."

Jungkook gave her a little kiss on the cheek and put his focus back on his paper. It wasn't anything special, just a blue flower, but Haeun seemed to be mesmerized by his picture. She started drawing little flowers too, and Jungkook peeked over her shoulder to see what hers looked like.

"What are you drawing, Haeun?"

"Mommy, Daddy and me!" She answered proudly and showed him her work. There were three stick figures in different colors, holding hands with a big smile on their faces. Behind them, Haeun had also scribbled a big house and a few trees. It looked cute, and Jungkook was sure she'd inherit his love for art one day.

"Oh, it's raining flowers too! Do you like it, Daddy?"

The doctor smiled softly and nodded, observing the picture with heart eyes. He loved Haeun's drawing, but the meaning behind it was bittersweet. It showed a happy, healthy family- and Jungkook wasn't sure if that was the best way to describe their's. At least not anymore. But of course, Haeun couldn't know that they were slowly starting to fall apart. She was still living in a fairytale, and Jungkook wanted to make sure she always did. At least until she'd be old enough to understand their situation.
