Chapter 67

I head back down the stairs to our floor and see Jimin's door is open, as I approach I hear voices. Namjoon is in there with him. I get as close as I can so I can hear what's being said without making my presence known.

"I should have opened up to you this morning, when you apologised to me, I should have engaged with you and gotten some stuff off of my chest. I regret that I didn't. So, with that in mind, I want to say now, thank you for the apology. Over time your comments about being with Aimee first and saying that you let me have her has worn me down mentally and made me doubt that she loves me. That teamed with my self hatred and my confusion on why I let things happen with Jungkook when I don't want to share her has just messed me up. I got so emotional earlier in front of that girl, that when she showed me a tiny bit of affection I lost myself and made the biggest mistake of my life and have now hurt the one and only person I love unconditionally. I'm not trying to blame you, I am the one who allowed it to happen, I should have stopped it quicker but I wasn't thinking straight. I don't want bad blood between us brother, I want us to be ok, i'm sorry for being aggressive yesterday". Namjoon sounds sincere, and has a tremble to his voice.

"Namjoon, I am so sorry you are struggling, and I am so grateful you have shared this load with me. Of course we will be ok, we are brothers. I will always have your back. I can't imagine what was going through your mind then or now, but I know you would never intentionally hurt Aimee. This is so out of character for you. Just promise me that you will get help, work on your issues and when you repair your relationship that you love her enough for all 3 of us". I hear them hug, the back slaps a give away.

That's a great start. He has admitted he is having issues to someone other than me. They are working to rebuild their relationship. I am happy with that. I decide to not chat with Jimin now, instead I head off downstairs to find Lori. She is in the kitchen with Yeong whilst he has his dinner and Sakura is giving Jangmi a bottle. "Hi everyone" I say in the lightest voice I can muster. "Auntie Aimee, I made a toy car today, and then I painted it!" Yeong says with gusto. "Did you, wow, I bet it's awesome. What colour did you paint it?" I ask the tot. "Well of course it's silver like Daddies car" he says tucking back into his food.

"How you doing?" Lori asks pushing a cup of coffee my way. "I am ok, I was a little surprised they are home so early. I wasn't expecting to come out of the bathroom to anyone in my room". I take a sip and sit on the stool next to Yeong and steal one of his chips. "Auntie Aimee, you are supposed to ask" he says exasperated by my breaking the rules. "I'm sorry honey, they just look so good" I laugh.

I turn to Sakura and ask her how Jangmi has been today and she says fine. She was a little off her routine like I expected but she has managed to get her back on it through the day. "As Mr Kim is home shall I ask him if he wants to do the bath and bed time routine for her tonight? Give you a little more time?" She says in a soft voice. "That's a great idea Sakura, he was upset he missed it yesterday. He was with Jimin the last I saw him". She pops Jangmi's finished bottle on the side and heads of to find my Daughters daddy.

"Have you spoken to him?" Lori asks. "Not really" I respond but continue with "I think we need to do it slowly. If we get to into it all it's likely to upset us both to the point where we lash out at each other. I think picking at it bit by bit might work better". She nods, agreeing with me. "Uncle Joonie, has he been naughty Auntie Aimee?" Yeong asks innocently picking up on our conversation. I laugh and try to deflect him from this and say "of course not, Uncle Joonie is a good boy like you. How about when you have finished dinner and had your bath you show me that car before you go to bed? I'm excited to see it". He cheers excited to show of his masterpiece.

Lori mouths the words 'later' to me and I nod. "What are we having for dinner? I'm starving" I announce.
