A long sigh left my lips as I dropped the controller on the couch next to me.

"This level is impossible-"

My hands reached for the bag of chips in front of me but moved to my phone instead as it began vibrating.

"It better not be that brat calling me in the middle of filming again-"

I was surprised when I saw a different contact.

"Hi Yejin!"

"Hey~ What are you up to?" I asked while popping a chip into my mouth.

"Nothing much, just getting ready for work, are you free?"

I hummed as a yes while pausing my game.

"Can I ask you a favor? I'll owe you forever if you say yes~"

"Sure, what's up?" Curiosity got the best of me as I waited for her to speak.

"Well Jaeho doesn't have school today and both Seojun and I are working and our usual babysitter is busy today, so I was wondering if I could drop Jae at your apartment for a few hours until I get off work?"

I thought for a few seconds before agreeing, I heard her quickly giggle with happiness before spitting a million thank yous though the phone.

"I'll send you my address, if I'm not working I can watch him whenever you need~"

"You're such a lifesaver Jin~! Thank you so much! I'll be over in a bit!" She hung up quickly, I texted her my address before unpausing my game.

Almost thirty minutes passed and a knock echoed through the living room.

I turned towards the door while standing up.

I was greeted by a smile as Jieun stood there while holding Jaeho.

The boy was set down and quickly clung to my leg.

"Hi Jae~"

"Hi Noona." His voice was quiet as he stared at nothing in particular.

"Thank you again, I really owe you~" She looked at me with a smile as I grinned.

"It's no problem, like I said I would do it anytime."

Before she could turn around, we heard footsteps outside of the door.

It was left unlocked and we heard a small 'huh'.

The door swung open to reveal a pair of eyes staring into our souls.

"Weren't you filming?" Curiousity was laced in my voice as he nodded and walked in.

"We finished early and I have nothing else to do today so here I am to bless you with my presence~" He spun around sarcastically with a smug smile as I scoffed, a grin now on my face.

It took a few seconds for Jieun to process who it was as he took his mask off.

"Seokjin?!" Jieun's face turned pale as Jin was surprised as well. His eyes shot between the boy clinging to my leg and the familiar girl inbetween us.

"You have a kid?!"

"We meet again after almost ten years and this is the first thing you say to me, disappointed but not surprised."

I quietly cackled as Jieun and Jin sarcastically smiled at each other.

"I have to get going but you two have fun~" She kissed Jaeho's cheek before waving at us.

As she left, Jin turned back towards me.

"You? Babysitting? I would have never imagined."

"Hey- I'm a better babysitter than you."

"Pfft, as if-" He replied sassily while walking towards me.

His exposed forehead almost broke my blank facial expression, I was quickly distracted as I felt a tug on my shirt.

"Noona do you have banana milk?" His voice was tiny and quiet as he stared at me.

"Of course, I'll get you some~"

I moved towards the kitchen and opened the fridge, handing some to him as he gladly took it.

Jin watched him in awe as he sat down on a chair and minded his own business, poking a straw into the milk before taking a sip.

The five year old continued to stare at nothing as a tired expression was on his face. He wasn't hyper like other kids and preferred being alone and doing calmer things. He was a odd one and probably too smart for his age.

I sat down next to Seokjin on the couch as he continued to watch Jaeho.

"Who-"

"Seojun."

"Wow really?" He turned towards me with a surprised expression as I nodded calmly.

"They've been together since Highschool and never found their soulmates so they got married before having Jae."

He nodded before a voice caught us off guard.

"Noona, why is Kim Seokjin in your living room?"

"Wha-" Jin stopped speaking as he heard me cackle beside him.

"He's my soulmate Jaeho~"

His eyes widened as he held the banana milk with both hands.

"Wow really? You're lucky Noona."

I chuckled softly and nodded.

"I know right?"

My eyes shifted to Jin as I could see his lips lift into a soft smile.

The tips of his ears turned pink as I teasingly smiled towards him.

His eyes met mine as a shy smile was still on his face.

"How does he even know who I am-"

"You fool the entire population of South Korea knows who you are-"

He scoffed with a smile as I stood up.

As I walked towards the kitchen, I heard a knock at the door.

"Who else could be here-"

I opened the door and my eyes widened as another familiar body stood in front of me.

"Hi Yejin Noona~" A sly smile was already on his face as Harper sat next to him.

"Let me guess, you need me to watch Harper?" He nodded happily as I laughed quietly.

I opened the door wider for Harper to come in but realized I made a mistake once I saw his eyes widen.

"Oh-"

"Is that Kim Seokjin?" His voice was almost a whisper as he looked like he thought he was going crazy.

"Yes it is, hi~" Jin gave a lazy wave towards Jae as his face almost gave away his inner fanboy.

"Oh my- I'm a huge fan you're amazing- Wait- HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?!" The boy turned towards me in a panic as I grinned at him slyly, returning his previous smile.

"He's my boyfriend Jae~"

His face looked like a deer in headlights as a gasp escaped from his lips.

"No way- How-"

"And soulmate." A 'matter of fact' voice stated from the chair.

Jae's face was even more shocked as Jaeho stood up from the chair, making eye contact with the shocked boy.

His soul practically left his body in front of us.

I gasped and waved my hands around in a panic.

"Don't get the wrong idea! I'm babysitting-!"

My eyes widened as he smirked.

"Are you sure noona?"

I slapped his shoulder playfully as laughs left his mouth loudly. I took the leash from his hands before pushing him out my door.

"You can text me later, bye!" I could hear his laughs as the door closed.

"I'm gonna kill him later." I turned back to a smirking Jin as his arms were crossed sassily.

"I don't think you can get away with murder Noona." Jaeho interrupted our staring contest as I turned my head towards the boy.

"I was only joking-"

A small giggle left the boys lips as Harper greeted him with a lick to his arm.

I unhooked the leash and tossed it on the coffee table before sitting back down next to Jin.

Once Jae was happily distracted with Harper, I picked the controller back up.

"Wanna try playing? I can't beat this level for the life of me."

"Loser." His voice was deep as he took the controller from my hand.

I scoffed with a smile as he unpaused the game.

What an eventful afternoon.
