My Little Mochi - Jimin x Reader

Chapter 10

A single tear rolled down your cheek as you struggled to catch your breath, everything you ever wanted to say now out in the open, hanging in the air between you and the person you'd been dreading to face all these years.

You didn't care that he left you any more, you only cared that he left Min Jun.

How could he..

That little boy was your whole world and more.

Jimin choosing not to be in his life was something you could never wrap your head around.

Jimin was still staring at you, his mouth slightly gaping from you hurling your verbal attacks at him.

You sat down with a huff, burying your head in your hands to try and calm yourself down. The outburst having caused the start of a headache to appear.

"Y/N... I..." Jimin's whispered, barely audible over the ceiling fans that now sounded obscenely loud in the deafening silence.

You sighed deeply, the thought that he might not even begin to explain making you regret giving him a chance today.

"I-I... I'm a father..."

The crack in his voice made you peer up at him from behind your hands, immediately noting his now ghostly complexion and the tears welled up in his eyes.

I know he's not that good of an actor

Is there a chance-

No...

Right?

They would have told him.

There's no way he didn't know..

You studied him further, a few minutes passing by before the ghost of a realization started to seep into your mind. The clouds of anger slowly disappearing as his glassy eyes struggled to keep from spilling over.

Your heart clenched as you noted the similarities between him and your son, the familiar look of grief they both seemed to share, the same expression that told you everything you needed to know.

He looked so soft, yet broken.

The face of a man that actually might not have known.

You watched him curiously as his eyes shifted around, looking lost even though he hadn't moved.

His gaze flickered to you, a tear rolling down his cheek as he tilted his head at you, expression twisting into what you could only describe as anguish before his voice cracked out what you'd been dreading to hear.

"I-I swear... I didn't know.."

You bit your lip hard to stop the sob from escaping your lips, the bleak realization that all of these years of Min Jun's life could have included his father.

A father that might have actually wanted to be there.

You found out in that moment that despite what you might have thought before, the pain of his absence was much easier to swallow when you thought it was by choice.

"Oh god" you breathed out, covering your mouth with your hand to muffle the scream you were holding in.

No no no

No please

God please tell me this isn't real

"Bighit knew... they knew.... my son..."

Jimin's pain soaked words only making the fight to keep from breaking that much harder.

You looked up at him, staring at him through blurred vision, the tears stinging your eyes keeping you from being able to fully catch his expression.
