Chapter Thirteen- Future Hopes

~Namjoon POV~

I walked confidently up the stairs to the front door of a beautiful house. The sound of humming and laughter greeted me as I walked in. "Daddy's home! Mommy daddy's home!" Thundering footsteps raced out of the kitchen towards me. A little boy about three with black hair and hazel eyes came pouncing on me. "Daddy!" I smiled warmly as my son lunges into my arms. "Hey buddy, were you a good boy for mommy today?"

He grinned proudly. "Of course! I was the best kid ever!" I placed him on my shoulders as he ruffled my hair that was now dyed a light blue. I headed into the kitchen, the silhouette of my beautiful wife in front of the sink washing dishes. The delicious aroma of what she was cooking wafted towards me. I walked towards her as if being pulled to her by an invisible thread. I placed my son in his high chair at the table before wrapping my arms around my wife's waist. Laying my chin on her shoulder as she giggled lightly.

Erin smiled happily, her hazel eyes sparkling with pure happiness. "I missed you, how were things in the studio today?" I gave her a big smile fully knowing it was one of her weaknesses, she loves my dimples and I was going to keep her hooked. "Ah it was pretty good, we got a lot of good beats made and I'm pretty confident in this next album. How was your day Babe?" I spoke softly, kissing her neck gently.

Erin smiled that gorgeous smile of hers as she dried her hands and turned around, my hands slid down to hold her waist. "My day was fine, Byung-Soo and I played tag and colored pictures. But of course it would have been better with you here." I smirked as I leaned down to her height and pressed our lips together. She stood on her tiptoes to meet me a little easier. The kiss would have gotten deeper and more passionate if it wasn't for an exclamation we heard from behind us.

"Eeeew! Daddy is kissing Mommy!" Erin pulled away giggling as Byung-Soo ran to her. "Mommy I want up!" My small son lifted his tiny hands to his mother begging to be lifted into her loving arms. She laughed happily as she swung him into the air holding him above her as he squealed with delight. A timer began to ding, alerting us that dinner was done.

Erin kissed our son on the cheek before sitting him back in his seat, buckling him in so he didn't climb out like he did when I put him in. She sent me a pointed look after clicking the buckle. I smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of my neck. Erin pulled the food out of the oven and began to make a plate for Byung-Soo. Byung-Soo tapped the table excitedly, earning an eyebrow raise from Erin.

As she set his plate in front of him and his cup of water, he excitedly went to reach for the fork but bumped his cup over. "Oh no, Byung-Soo please be more careful." Erin scolded gently as I helped her clean up the mess. "I guess I'm stuck with two klutzes. I hope he grows out of it, I don't think we can handle both of you breaking everything." Erin chimed teasingly at me.

I hugged her from behind, firmly wrapping my arms around her small waist. Nuzzling my face into her neck I took a deep breath and inhaled her scent. Vanilla and apples filled my senses. "Yes but you love me anyway and you know it." I replied calmly into the nape of her neck. She calmly served our plates before running her fingers softly through my hair. I lifted my head and met her gaze as she gently cupped my cheeks in her small hands. "I love you babe, but right now I love food more."

I snorted and shook my head as we both took our seats at the table. "Can't believe I come second to food..." she only chuckled and sent me a flirty smirk. "You only come second when I'm hungry, once dinner's done and Byung is put to bed, I'm all yours." My heart pounded in my chest, god I love it when she says those kinds of things. "Good, I think we need a nice hot bath together." She nodded joyfully and began to eat.

Byung-Soo clumsily ate his food, getting it all over his face and clothes. Erin sighed as she finished her own plate and began to get a wet towel to clean our messy child. "Joonie, can you clean his area at the table and seat please? I'm going to give him a quick bath before bed." I nodded and gave her a quick peck on the lips as she was leaving the dining room.

As I cleaned I just kept telling myself that it would be worth it, Erin and I would finally have a good evening to spend together. At last we can have some time together. I start heading towards Byung-Soo's room. I could hear giggles as Erin read a silly story to our son. I peeked into the room, seeing her sitting on his bed, him cuddled in her lap looking at a picture book.

I took a glance around his room. The walls were a light sky blue towards the ceiling and a green towards the carpet. Erin and the rest of LIT M painted the walls themselves, painting trees, animals, and airplanes. They wanted it to look like a grassy park where he could play all day. The ceiling was speckled with glow in the dark dots to look like stars when he sleeps.

At the end of Byung's bed lay our black cat, Mr. Cuddles, which is an ironic name given to him by Erin and Byung. The cat hates most everyone, save a few BTS members, Erin, Byung, Alex, and me. Anyone else is on guard around him, hoping he doesn't suddenly jump out and claw them.

My eyes drifted from the curled up cat to land on my son. He was a mix of Erin and I, his hair black like my natural hair, was messy from being towel dried. His big hazel eyes like Erin's were focused on the picture book his mother was reading him. He had dimples like me, and they were on full display. My eyes moved up to land on Erin. God she was beautiful. I watched her full lips move to pronounce each word. I wanted to kiss her so bad.

I was broken from my thoughts when the doorbell rang from downstairs. I sighed and motioned for Erin to continue while I got the door. Before I got to the bottom of the stairs, the door opened and Hoseok peered inside. I could see the rest of the members trying to squish in behind him. "Why are you guys here?" I have to admit I was a little annoyed with everyone showing up when I would soon have Erin all to myself.

"Happy Anniversary!" They all cheered. Erin came down the stairs, Byung in her arms. "Wow guys! You really didn't have to!" She said happily, side hugging Alex. Yeah you shouldn't have. I stood next to Yoongi as Euna and Jimin were setting up a big sheet to serve as a big movie screen. Jin and Aeri were busy setting up the movie projector, with a little help from Jungkook.

Taehyung and Hoseok kept themselves busy by playing with Byung, who was more than happy to jump into their open arms. Alex and Erin were chatting about random things. I turned to Yoongi, crossing my arms over my chest. "Hyung, why did you let all of them come over? One word from you and the BTS members would have listened. I was hoping to give her a romantic evening since it's our anniversary."

Yoongi shrugged his shoulders as a small smirk lit up his face. "I was going to but then I thought what the hell? And then I told everyone you guys weren't planning anything special for tonight so everyone agreed to binge watch movies." I could feel my eye twitch in annoyance, I sighed as I rubbed my face. Of course they would do this, I shouldn't be surprised to be honest.

And so we all got a ton of pillows and gathered in front of the makeshift movie screen. Before I knew it most of us had fallen asleep, Byung included. Jin was sleeping with his head on Jimin's shoulder, Taehyung and Jungkook were all tangled up next to each other. Alex was leaning on Hoseok who was laying his head on Euna's shoulder. Aeri was using Yoongi's lap as a pillow, and Erin was snuggled into my side clutching a sleeping Byung-Soo in her arms. Yoongi was surprisingly one of the only ones awake, scrolling through his phone and taking blackmail pictures of everyone who was asleep.

"Hyung, let's get everyone up and clean. It's pretty late." I glanced at the clock that read 1:45am. Yoongi stretched and yawned before nodding. He began smacking the boys on the shoulders to wake them up. I gently shook Erin awake and began to wake the rest with Yoongi. Erin got up and headed upstairs to tuck Byung-Soo in bed. "Yah! Get up lazy asses!" Yoongi whisper shouted at Taehyung and Jungkook.

Jin slowly got up and began helping Euna and Alex clean up while Aeri and Jimin were getting the projector and screen put away. Hoseok and Yoongi each grabbed Jungkook and Taehyung, yanking them apart and successfully waking the startled maknaes. "Yah hyungs, that was mean you could have been gentler! My arm hurts now!" Taehyung whined warning an eye roll from Yoongi.

Finally all was clean and everyone was ready to head home and leave Erin and I alone. "Alright, we better head home and leave you two love birds alone! Hope we gave you guys a good time!" With that they all headed into their vans and went to their homes. Erin sighed and I wrapped my arms around her waist tugging her into my chest. "Now we are finally alone, I can have you all to myself now Babe." I whispered into her neck as she giggled. "Good, I've been waiting to get you all to myself all night!" She flirted back.

We headed up to our room and laid in bed together. I began to lean in to kiss her. I was gonna make the most of our alone time, it was a much needed moment for both of us. Suddenly Erin climbed on top of me and began gently shaking my shoulders. "Yah Namjoon! Wake up!" I furrowed my eyebrows, that was not Erin's voice. "Namjoon! You gotta get up! We have to get ready to head to the studio!" I decided to ignore the voice and pulled Erin close to kiss her.

But she just kept shaking my shoulders roughly. "What the hell Erin, just let me kiss you." I groaned as I tried again. "YAH HYUNG GET UP RIGHT NOW! WE NEED TO GO!!"

I jumped up and realized I was in my bed in the Bangtan dorm. I was hugging Hoseok in a tight hug like I was holding Erin. I looked around in a daze to see Jungkook and Hoseok in my face frowning. Taehyung clapped from the door. "Wow you finally woke him up Jungkook! Even Hoseok Hyung couldn't wake him up!" I blinked in confusion and then frowned. Damn it, it was a dream? I was so close, yet so far.

"Hyung was dreaming of Erin wasn't he?" Jungkook teased with a smirk. "Yeah hyung definitely called her name a few times." Taehyung chimed I'm from the door with a giggle. I let go of Hoseok who huffed in annoyance. "Namjoon you really didn't have to hug me so tight, if I were Erin I'd definitely have some broken ribs!" I chose to ignore their joking and got up from bed, heading to that bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.

After making my way to the table, all the members smirked at me. Shit they were going to use this to their advantage. "So Namjoon, you plan on marrying Erin?" Yoongi asked with a smirk. "Yeah and who's Byung-Soo?" Jimin asked curiously. "Hahhhh, you guys better not say anything about this to anyone." And so I explained to them my dream of my future.
