"Daddy!" Minjoo cried louder.

He was squeezing her tightly, making sure she was actually existent. "I love you so much, JooJoo. Don't ever scare me like that again." He whispered into her ear and she clung onto his shirt.

"I'm sorry. Jihoon and I were playing hide and seek and we didn't know how big the garden was. We got lost. I was afraid that you'd never be able to find me again." She mumbled, hiccuping between every sentence.

"It's okay, my pumpkin. All that matters now is that you're safe." His eyes opened to see your worry expression dissipate. You shied away from his gaze and wiped the last tears that fell.

"Daddy, you're so strong. You were the only one who didn't cry." Minseo noted and Jimin remained staring at you.

He took your hand and ran his thumbs against your knuckles. "Ms.(Y/N) cried too?" Minjoo turned around in his arms to look at you.

"A little bit. We were worried about you two, JooJoo!" Minseo jumped, her small body talking for her.

"I'm sorry, Ms.(Y/N), for making you cry." The two children apologized and an ashamed frown appeared on their faces.

"It's okay." There was nothing more you could say. You were calm now and it didn't make sense as why you reacted the way you did.

"She must've been more worried and spooked than I was." Jimin commented. "Thank you and I'm sorry about your dress... and this entire date."

You dusted off any excess dirt, "don't even sweat it, Jimin. I'm only thrilled that they're safe now. Nothing can top that feeling of relief."

"Spoken like a true parent." He smiled and you laughed it off. You weren't entirely sure what he meant by that. "Let's go home. It's been a long day." He sighed and Minseo grabbed your hand. She hurried you over to the vehicle, not wanting you to stay out any longer in the chilly night.

"Since when were you two dating?" Jungkook interrogated Jimin in the lounge room. He was brewing another batch of coffee and Jimin was enjoying his lunch on the couch.

Jimin rose a brow, "we aren't dating, at least not officially."

"Are you still in high school? Does it really matter if things are official, she's someone you're seeing." Jungkook mixed his creamer with the dark, black liquid.

Jimin wondered what to exactly call you. You two see each other on multiple occasions and went out with one another. Nonetheless, he's never explicitly asked you to be his. You both knew you had feelings for one another, and wanted to keep seeing each other. Fear was honestly the only hesitation Jimin was facing.

He was afraid of becoming too serious and if you weren't comfortable with that. You were still young and he shouldn't restrict you to a family. He remembered how his life changed drastically when the twins were born. He was no longer a free-spirited kid who partied every night. He had to look for a stable job to pay for the girls' diapers and finish school as fast as possible.

Jimin was up juggling studying for his midterms and making sure the twins were fed. He knew the stress and burden it could cause. You were in school and living out your early twenties. He didn't want to rob that from you. He knew you would think it would be fine, but he experienced it. Even though he wouldn't give up the twins for anything in the world, he still missed the small things. He didn't want you to miss those things.

"Yeah, but it's complicated." Jimin made room for Jungkook to join him.

"Is it only complicated because of the twins? How do they like her?"
