Homeless - Part (7/8) (1/2)

„Thank you for coming with us.“ Jessica said with a soft smile on her lips as she took a glance at the man sitting next to her.“But I'm afraid that you will have to deal with a very sulky CEO once we return."

Jaejoong chuckled."That's alright, he'll have me for himself for the rest of the day."

Jessica's smile only widened at his words before she looked right back to where Changmin was playing with some children he met a few minutes ago.

It was Sunday and Jaejoong – upon Changmin's request – was accompanying Jessica and the Jung family's little ball of sunshine on their small trip to the shopping mall where they ended up sitting on a bench by the mall's playground after buying some clothes for Changmin.

"I have to thank you."

Jaejoong tilted his head in confusion."You have already."

"No, I mean thanking you for being with my brother." Jessica let out a small chuckle upon seeing the surprise on Jaejoong's face."He has not been wholeheartedly happy ever since his fights with our father started. But when he came back home after meeting you, that certain sparkle inside his eyes was back. He has so many responsibilities to shoulder, so much burden to deal with and so many expectations to live up to. I'm glad that he can just let go of everything and allows himself to be happy when he is with you. I'm grateful that you are there to take care of him."

"I..." Jaejoong halted, his lips soon forming an almost shy smile."I love your brother. His happiness means everything to me."

Jessica nodded, not doubting his words even one bit."I know."

"Umma! Uncle Jaejae!" Changmin shouted as he ran right towards the two adults watching over him with a bright smile.

Jessica laughed and took out a handkerchief to wipe the the sweat from her son's face."Are you hungry or thirsty?"

"Minmin is thirsty, Umma." Changmin pouted, soon climbing onto his mother's lap as the young woman wrapped her arms around him and pressed a soft kiss onto Changmin's head.

"Look what uncle Jaejae got for you!" Jaejoong exclaimed excitedly as he took out a carton of Changmin's beloved strawberry milk out of the little one's rucksack, soon handing it over to Changmin.
