The day passed slowly, but for Jungkook, giving up wasn't an option. Y/n seemed to find any excuse not to spend time with him—from work commitments to visiting someone in town, or simply burying herself in more work. Even attending to Jae Eon's school activities became a solitary affair for her, though Jungkook made sure to be there whenever he could. It was a way to be close to her, to remind her of his presence.

Tonight, after spending hours reading to Jae Eon, Y/n finally emerged from their son's bedroom. It was past ten on a Friday night, with no school for Jae Eon the next day, giving them a rare relaxed evening.
