top-shelf baby-daddy.
Pairing: Namjoon x Female reader
Inspiration: SEVEN by JungKook
Summary: You're desperate to have a child due to the possibilities (and your eggs) getting lesser and lesser by the year. The problem is, aside from having 'top-shelf' standards in men, you can't and won't commit. You just wanted a baby. Namjoon comes along the way - a hot bachelor, smells, looks and tastes top-shelf, but comes with a twist. Will he pass as your baby-daddy?

You’re beat and all you want to do is go home, enjoy a hot bath, have a few drinks and sleep. But your best friend Jimin won’t let you do that. It’s the weekend and he would never allow you to just rot in your room.
In the club.
Jimin: (opens his arms) There she is! (laughs)
You roll your eyes as you approach him wearing a short black bodycon dress with a black leather jacket and a pair of black Mary Jane platforms.
Jimin: You don’t look beat. (hugs you) You look stunning.
Y/N: (groans) Oh stop, Jimin Park. I just came and suddenly you’re too nice to me?
Jimin: (pulls away) Hey, for the record, you are gorgeous. (wiggles fingers) Minus all that workaholic aura on you.
You snort. His phone beeps.
Jimin: Sorry honey, my date just arrived and I’ll just get her from the entrance, ‘kay?
Y/N: (scowls) Hey I thought I was your date?
Jimin blows you a kiss as he runs to the entrance.
Y/N: (scoffs) Bastard.
The bar’s crowded. There are a couple of empty seats by the bar so you squeezed in your way there.
Y/N: (sits on stool) Whisky on the rocks please, stat.
Jin: Huh, if it isn’t miss VP-
Y/N: Ugh, shush Jin.
Jin - your former colleague, lawyer by day - club owner by night, and a very good friend.
Jin: Glad to know you have a life outside the advertising firm. ‘You with Park?
Y/N: Was. And now his date has arrived so I guess I’m flying solo. With that, can you (points whisky) make sure that’s top shelf? And charge it to him. (winks)
Jin: (chuckles) Copy that.
Y/N: Thanks. So what’s up with the handsome club owner bartending tonight? Ah (nods) hearing’s not until Tuesday, huh?
Jin: (gives your drink) Mhm. Tell Morgan to go easy on me. (winks)
You chuckle. Some people ordered so he can’t keep you company. You were enjoying your second glass when someone sits beside you. And damn he smells so good - like the cologne-mixing-with-masculine-body-odor kind of good.
You grew more interested when you heard his voice: “Whisky, dry, stat. Thank you.” Deep, husky, sexy. That’s when you finally turn your head to him. He takes his glass, says ‘thanks’ to the bartender and smiles. Dimples. You turn your head away and read a text from Jimin telling you that he’s just at the mezzanine in case you look for him.
You were reading a couple more texts when you heard the guy speak again. “Thought you were checking me out for a moment.” You looked at him, made sure it’s you who he’s speaking to before you uttered a word.
Y/N: (clears throat) Excuse me?
Namjoon: (looks at you) Caught you staring for a few good seconds, so I thought you were checking me out. Guess I was wrong.
You scoff and chuckle softly.
Namjoon: Hi. (offers hand) I’m Namjoon.
With whisky slowly hitting your bold switch, you didn’t back down.
Y/N: Well, Namjoon, yeah let’s say I was checking you out. Should I not? (shakes his hand) Y/N. (smiles)
Namjoon: (smiles) I actually wish you were.
Y/N: (hums) Hm.
So Namjoon kept you company that night and you honestly enjoyed talking to him. He’s obviously smart and he definitely knows how to hold a conversation. The next thing you know, the talking led to kissing and making out in the club’s restroom.
Namjoon: (panting) No. No kids, never married. You? (kisses you again)
Y/N: Mm, (talks onto his lips) no. Never married, but I wish to have kids in the future.
Namjoon: Interesting. Oh baby, do you want to get outta here?
Y/N: (panting) Hm. Your place? Sorry, can’t bring you in mine.
Namjoon: (raises eyebrow) Ha, intriguing. Well, I just landed so technically I still don’t have ‘my place’. I’m currently checked in though. Does that work?
Y/N: Hm, okay. As long as it’s not some cheap motel.
Namjoon: (chuckles softly) Baby, I don’t think you deserve a cheap motel when you’re drinking some top shelf.
You giggle. He brought you to the hotel he’s checked in. Five star, nice suite - you’re impressed. Not that you want things fancy. It’s just that you’re a neat freak so you basically want things clean and hygienic. Though sex with a stranger is neither of those.
You’re not the type to hook up with a total stranger. So tonight must have something to do with the whisky, this man’s very interesting personality, and not to forget how good he looks.
The first round was quick and excited - like both of you have never been laid for a while. You did not realize he was that tall until he carried you and pinned you up against the wall. He’s got an impressive length and girth and you’re so damn full while you got his head spinning feeling you so tight around him.
The next round in the shower was slower and you ended things in bed. After that, you were both beat, in a very good way. It’s safe to say that that was the best sex of your life. And Namjoon? He sure had the best time with you.
Drunk, you swear you can't remember when you fell asleep. The next morning, you woke up with a terrible hangover, a good kind of sore, wrapped in fluffy sheets. You smile at the sunshine kissing your face for a second, until you realize what happened last night and where you actually are right now. Your eyes bugged out and before you can even jump out of bed, you feel the bed move and a huge arm snakes around your waist.
Y/N: (shuts eyes) Shit.
Then you hear little snores again and warm breath touching the back of your neck. You carefully escaped Namjoon’s embrace and moved like a cat to not wake him up.
While dressing up, you stare at him. You smile at how attractive this man could be even if he’s asleep. He looks like a gentle giant.
You left him still in dreamland.
Namjoon wakes up to his phone vibrating nonstop.
Namjoon: (eyes closed) Yeah? Morning. (Nods) Mhm. Yeah? Sounds good. Tomorrow afternoon? Great. Sure, let me talk to her. Hey munchkin, how are you? (Chuckles) Yes and I’m so excited to see you. I will, I promise. (Smiles) I love you too, munchkin.
He finally gets up. He thought you might still be in the shower since he saw your scarf still laying on the couch, but the shower is empty. He’s a bit disappointed that he wasn’t able to see you off. The doorbell rings - it’s room service delivering a cup of coffee and some breakfast in a bag.
Namjoon: (confused) Uh- sorry, I don't think I ordered anything.
Attendant: (reads note) Mr. Namjoon Kim, right sir? You checked in last night?
Namjoon: Yeah, that’s right.
Attendant: (gives bag) Then it’s definitely for you sir. There’s a note inside. (Smiles)
Namjoon takes it anyway. Curious of who sent it, he looks for the note first. And it reads:
“Coffee for your hangover and a little breakfast, just because- 😉 -Y/N”
Namjoon smiles and blushes. He finds this gesture sweet. And quite honestly, he never experienced anything like this. Usually, his one night stands will end on the same night or another round the next morning before either of them leaves. But this? Waking up alone but with breakfast on the side just hits different.
Back to your place. You crash on the couch after taking a shower and your chocolate brown ragdoll cat cuddles with you.
Y/N: (chuckles softly) Yes Mon-Mon, how about we do lazy Sunday today?
Cinnamon: Meow.
You smile and close your eyes. You’re close to falling asleep when you hear your door swing open.
Jimin: There you are! (exhales sharply)
Cinnamon meows.
Y/N: (eyes closed) I hope it’s obvious that I’m trying to get some sleep here?
Jimin: At 10AM? It’s so not you.
You hear him hit the kitchen. You sit up knowing that you won’t be able to sleep anyway.
Jimin: (making coffee) Where have you been all night?
Y/N: I had…fun. Like you highly suggested.
You sit behind the island counter where Jimin’s making coffee.
Jimin: If by ‘fun’ you mean ‘getting laid’, then good for you and your breeding plan.
Y/N: (scoffs) What am I, a bird???
Jimin: Can be a fox, a cat, whatever works. We just want an offspring out of your few remaining eggs, okay?
Y/N: And you expect me to just hook up with a stranger and hope to get pregnant with a stranger’s genes?
Jimin: Well if you’d only accept my offer then I would’ve already taken you out of your misery. I can just be the ‘male dog’ in the picture and-
Y/N: (groans) Oh god, ew, stop. We’ve talked about this. You’re practically a brother to me Chim. You know I’d love every bit of your DNA, but NO.
Jimin laughs. He loves teasing you about this.
Y/N: And that’d be so awkward - having your baby and you lurking around when the last thing I wanna do is commit.
Jimin: I can solve that problem too. You just have to-
Y/N: Ugh no, stop. (holds your head) I feel my hangover coming back.
Jimin: Huh, now that you’ve mentioned that (unpacking breakfast), I thought you put some drinks on my tab last night? I asked Jin and he said it was already taken care of.
Y/N: Oh. (clears throat) Yeah?
You can’t clearly recall if Namjoon paid the whole bill.
Jimin: Yeah? What do you mean ‘yeah’?
Y/N: No I mean yeah. Got that covered. I’ll let you pay next time.
Jimin: (hums) Hm, ‘kay.
Jimin lifts his head, finally done preparing coffee and breakfast. And he just stares at you for a few seconds.
Y/N: What? Do I have something on my face? (touches your face)
Jimin: (snickers) Huh. Y/N Choi, I think you fucking got laid.
Y/N: Wha- (scowls) what???
Jimin: ASG all over you my friend! (laughs)
Being the playboy he is, of course he knows. You keep denying and he keeps on teasing. That’s your friendship - leaving no crumbs, telling each other everything, but you don’t kiss and tell and just leave those stuff to each other’s imagination. You just ended up admitting that you met a handsome and smart guy, that’s it.
Later that afternoon, you swing by a nearby bookstore. You’re in your lazy Sunday look - oversized hoodie, shorts, sneaks, big glasses with your hair in a messy bun. You were reaching for a book on your tippy toes when you felt a huge figure hover behind you and an arm extending, reaching the book you wanted.
Y/N: Oh. Thank you.
You turn around and you step backwards in surprise when you see someone familiar. He pulled you by the waist so you won’t hurt yourself when you hit the shelf. Now you’re both standing too close to each other…just like last night.
Namjoon: You really want them top shelf huh? (smiles and gives book)
Y/N: (smiles and blushes) Uh- hey, hi. (takes book) Thank you.
Namjoon was just staring at you.
Y/N: What?
Namjoon: Nothing, sorry. (chuckles softly) It’s just nice to see another side of you. Last night was a hot clubbing look and today is a lazy look hm?
Y/N: Oh. (looks at yourself) I hope I did not disappoint you without any makeup on.
Namjoon: Oh no, please. You look even prettier without anything on.
You raise an eyebrow and Namjoon stutters.
Namjoon: I mean I- you uh- you look prettier without any makeup on - that’s what I’m trying to say. (blushes) Sorry, that came out wrong. (chuckles shakily)
You chuckle. So this is how Mr. Confidently Smart gets worked up.
You ended up in a cafe nearby, both in lazy outfits. Damn he looks good even in sweats. He’s really fun to talk to, sober or drunk. A couple of hours have passed and he asked you if you’d like to grab dinner and maybe enjoy a couple of movies back in his hotel room. You would love to, but your little Cinnamon still hasn't eaten.
He’s secretly wishing you’d just invite him over. And you did. You’re not the type to invite acquaintances over to your place, but you did. And it’s strange that he doesn’t feel like he’s a stranger nor an acquaintance.
He loves your cozy apartment and he adores Cinnamon. Surprisingly, Cinnamon instantly adjusted to a new visitor. As planned, you grabbed some pizza for takeout, you popped some wine and you both crashed on the couch to watch a movie.
A couple of movies later, you enjoyed your second bottle of wine and talked more. He’d kill to hear the sound of your laugh. He loves it. At this point you could say that you’re pretty much acquainted and comfortable with each other.
You both admitted that you’re not the type to regularly hang out in a club and hook up with someone. Namjoon never invites a random girl in his place and you never invite a fling over to yours. Also, you don’t do second meet-ups.
Namjoon: So what are we doing right now? (smiles)
The look in his eyes and those fucking dimples would melt you anytime.
Y/N: (shrugs) Beats me.
Namjoon: (moves closer) Hm. Strange that I don’t feel strange around you.
Y/N: (snorts) Oh stop. Inviting you over doesn’t mean you can swoon me over with your sweet-talk.
Namjoon: Trust me, you’ll know when I’m sweet-talking and when I’m not.
He leans closer and gives you a sweet kiss. You both smile after the kiss.
Namjoon: Damn, I love it when you kiss me.
You just hum in response. He kisses you again, deeply this time. Things started heating up so you brought your business in your room. Both undressed, Namjoon leans on the headboard and lets you straddle him.
Namjoon: (panting) ‘You like ‘em top shelf? Then I’d like you on top tonight, if that’s okay?
Y/N: Ha. (smiles) We have a little problem though.
Namjoon: No condoms?
You nod.
Namjoon: No worries, I’m clean.
Y/N: I am, too.
Namjoon: Then that settles it.
You kiss again and you feel his tip touching your dripping entrance.
Y/N: (panting) Really? (talks onto his lips) You trust me that much?
Namjoon: Uh-huh. If you trust me then I don’t see why I won’t trust you.
Without saying a word, you start to sink down his length. You both moan.
Namjoon: (grunts) Oh fuck baby, so tight.
You started to move faster when you already adjusted to his size. It drives him crazy when you come - feeling you clench around him and seeing you fall apart on top of him is top tier.
Namjoon: God, you’re beautiful.
He flips you to missionary when you’re done chasing your high and he starts to pound on you mercilessly. He finished on your lower abdomen. You were both exhausted, but you immediately went for a second round after he cleaned up his mess.
After another exhaustingly good round , you were surprised that he cleaned you up with a warm towel. You wonder when and where he got it. You must’ve fallen into a quick nap.
Y/N: (closes your legs) Stop, (chuckles softly) what are you doing?
Namjoon: (opens your legs) Just let me. (smiles)
This is new to you. How can some random guy be this nice?
Y/N: I’m starting to think that I let a psychopath inside my house on a Sunday night.
Namjoon: (snorts) What?
Y/N: You’re being too nice, it scares me. (laughs)
Namjoon: (laughing) You and your cute little thoughts. Then yes, maybe I’m a psychopath, a murderer, and I tell you now, you won’t see the dawn break tomorrow because in a few hours, I’ll put you in a bag and throw you off somewhere.
Y/N: (snorts) God, stop. That sounded creepy.
Namjoon laughs. While you are busy laughing, you feel his lips on your sore cunt. You were caught off guard that you gasp.
Y/N: (whines) Joon.
Namjoon: Hm, ‘guess that’s my new nickname? I like it.
And he continues to pepper your cunt with butterfly kisses. It was all gentle at first until you felt his tongue draw circles on your bud and lick and suck the hell out of you. You’re a moaning mess and he loves it.
Namjoon: I think this is me killing you with pleasure now. Scream if you need to, babe.
He eats you shamelessly. Again, a first for a random hookup. You came and Namjoon finished off with soft kisses. He hovers on you afterwards, kisses you and lets you taste yourself.
Namjoon: (hums) Hm, you taste like top shelf, baby.
Y/N: (laughs) Oh you sweet-talker, stop. (touching his dimples) What did you do that for?
Namjoon: I wanted a taste so bad and you didn’t disappoint. I hope I did not cross the line.
Y/N: What stupid line are you talking about? (plays with his hair) We’ve been doing this since last night and you think you’re suddenly crossing the line? (chuckles softly)
Namjoon: (chuckles) I don’t know. Maybe I just thought you wouldn’t want such gesture.
Y/N: You just caught me by surprise. And maybe I was kinda shy.
Namjoon: (scoffs) Really? Why would you even be shy when you taste so divine?
He kisses you again. You’re having a lazy kiss and you’re loving every single second of it. You feel him grow on your thigh again.
Namjoon: (moans) Mmn baby, I think we should stop here.
Y/N: What?
Namjoon: If you keep on kissing me that way, I’ll be in trouble again and I might beg for another round.
Y/N: And you don’t want that?
Namjoon: Oh I’d love that. But would you? ‘Coz I won’t force you with anything.
Y/N: Mhm. Such a gentleman huh?
Namjoon: I try my best. (smiles)
You did not have a third round, but you did give him a head. So good that he was able to reach his peak. He moaned so loud and sexy when he came.
You showered and he asked if he could stay over for a bit. You agreed. You end up laying in bed, facing each other. Before you fade away to dreamland.
Namjoon: Y/n? (touches your face)
Y/N: Hm? (opens your eyes)
Namjoon: I just had to ask.
Y/N: Mhm?
Namjoon: What’s with the breakfast yesterday?
You felt extremely embarrassed that you hid under your blanket, giggled and blushed big time.
Namjoon: (chuckles) What’s wrong baby? Come here.
He pulls you closer and pulls the blanket off your face.
Y/N: (sighs) I honestly don’t know why. I just thought you’d like coffee first thing as soon as your hangover hits and I just kinda tossed some breakfast on the side. (Scrunches nose) Too mushy?
Namjoon: So sweet and thoughtful, I love it. I mean, nobody’s done that for me before.
Y/N: You’re kidding.
Namjoon: I’m serious. And your note says “just because”. Just because?
Y/N: Just because…I love breakfast?
Namjoon: (scoffs) Now you’re kidding.
Y/N: I’m not, really. It’s my favorite meal of the day.
Namjoon: (smiles) Okay, fine. (Touches your face) Then would you go on a breakfast date with me tomorrow?
Y/N: (chuckles) Joon, I’m sorry (touching his dimples) I should’ve told you sooner. I don’t do dates.
Namjoon: Oh. You don’t?
Y/N: I mean we can go out, but I wouldn’t call ‘em dates.
Namjoon: Sounds cool. Date is a strong word, I agree. Then maybe you can go out with me tomorrow and grab some breakfast before Monday kills us? How does that sound? (Winks)
Y/N: (smiles) Sounds better.
Tonight might be the best sleep you’ve had in years. You’re used to having someone sleep beside you because Jimin sleeps over a lot since you were kids.
While having breakfast at a bistro the next morning.
Y/N: Oh you’re not? (drinks coffee)
Namjoon: (shakes his head) Mm-mm. (wipes his lips) Not until in a couple of weeks. It takes a week for our team to settle everything regarding my transfer, I might pop up for a bit just to meet the rest of our team here, then I’m off for another week to spend time with my niece. She’s currently having a mini vacation right now.
Y/N: Oh wow, that sounds nice. I’d kill for a long vacation right now.
Namjoon: I’m sure you can. But something tells me you’re practically married to your job? (snickers)
Y/N: (scoffs) Really? Is my best friend right when he said I have this workaholic aura? (groans) Ugh, I hate it when you’re right.
Namjoon laughs.
Namjoon: You’re good, not judging. Anyway, I’m moving into my apartment this afternoon. I’d love to throw a small housewarming party if only I have any friends in the city.
Y/N: (chews and nods) Mhm? (wipes your lips)
Namjoon: So I was wondering if…you’re free? For dinner? Not a date, just dinner.
You chuckle.
Y/N: Well, thank you very much for the invitation, but I’m usually swamped on Mondays so I really can’t say yes. At least not yet.
Namjoon: (nods) No worries. (smiles cutely)
Y/N: Can I be blunt?
Namjoon: Please.
Y/N: Do you plan on inviting me out for the rest of the week?
Namjoon: You know what? I love it that you’re so smart. (winks and clicks tongue)
You chuckle softly.
Namjoon: Well, neither of us do second meet-ups, but we did. So to answer your question, yes. If it doesn’t sound too selfish and too demanding, I’d like to spend the rest of my free time with you before everything gets crazy around me. (smiles)
Any girl would give in at this point. And you might just be one of them.
Y/N: (hums) Hm, we’ll see about that. I can’t even promise if I can make it to your housewarming tonight.
Namjoon: No promises, no commitments, please. Just- I don’t know. Maybe we can try and see if we can make it?
Y/N: Hm, I like that. (shrugs) Okay. (smiles)
Monday passed by so quickly. You made it through your busy day and Namjoon was able to put everything in place in his new apartment - or at least half of it. He sent you his address just in case you’ll make it. You see his text six hours later.
It’s 10PM and there’s no sign of you - both in Namjoon’s phone and at his doorsteps. Not that he’s expecting that you’ll come, but he just thought it’d be nice if you did.
10:30 and he already finished a bottle of moscato. He’s planning on finishing the book he’s currently reading and hit the bed soon.
The doorbell rings. He’s expecting some more boxes so he thought it’s just the maintenance guy. He opens the door and there you are, doing tiny hops, scarf covering half of your face.
Y/N: Oh my god! Was there a forecast that it will get this chilly tonight?
You barge in his place to finally feel the heater.
Y/N: I’m so sorry I’m late.
You unpack a bag of goodies at his island counter - a good bottle of whisky, a pasta dish, some chicken and dessert and you babble nonstop, leaving Namjoon still surprised.
Y/N: Aside from the fact that I was busy the whole day, I planned on surprising you when my schedule magically cleared up this afternoon. That's why I didn’t reply to your text.
Namjoon is just stuck there, staring at you while you talk some more.
Y/N: So I got home early to change up, thought I could make some aglio olio here, then I thought some chicken would be good too, ordered some dessert, and I swear I just planned on taking a very short power nap. The next thing I know it’s almost 10PM and-
Namjoon spun you around to face him, did not let you finish and just crashed his lips onto yours. And all you could do is hum to the kiss.
Y/N: (smiles and talks onto the kiss) Hm, your lips taste so sweet. (pulls away to look at him) What have you been drinking? (clings your arms around his nape)
Namjoon: Moscato. (smiles) You made it.
Y/N: Mhm. Better late than never. (chuckles)
And you kiss sweetly again. You’re not gonna lie, you love the way he kisses you.
He popped another bottle, gave you a quick house tour and you both dug in the food you’re bringing.
Namjoon: (moans) Mmn! (wipes his lips) This tastes amazing. I should be the one who prepared food, not you bringing some.
Y/N: Right, and by preparing food you mean ordering some take-out?
Namjoon glares at you. You laugh.
Y/N: Joon, you just told me yesterday that you’re way too dangerous in the kitchen.
Namjoon: (sighs) I know.
Y/N: So, (looks around) too much stuff or too lazy to unpack?
Namjoon: A little bit of both, actually. Would you mind hanging out in the living room surrounded by boxes?
Y/N: Not at all. (smiles)
[BGM: Seven by Jung Kook]
Mixed scenes. For some reason your week has been pretty light and you have this urge to see Namjoon and spend the rest of his and your free time with him as planned. He’s way too interesting to qualify just as your fuck buddy so no, you’re not just up for the sex.
Namjoon feels the same. It’s clear that you’re not dating, but he’s really looking forward to seeing you at the end of the day. You’d go to walks in the park, visit museums, try different cuisines, watch movies in either of your places, unpack more of his stuff, and of course some little steamy sessions in between.
Hanging out with Namjoon is easy, no pressure at all. Sadly, happy things have their ending. You both talked about this, so you’re both cool. It just makes you both sad that you can’t get to ‘go out’ more often because 1. Things start to get crazy at work again; 2. Namjoon’s niece is back and as mentioned, he’s spending time with her; and 3. You both are in no position to meet on a regular basis like couples do.
You do, however, chat or call each other when you have time, but things have been pretty busy for the both of you. One day at your sister’s daycare center, you brought her doughnuts and coffee after your field work.
Kate: So how’s your breeding plan going?
You almost spit your coffee out.
Y/N: Can you stop calling it that?
Kate: What? Jimin coined it and it actually makes sense.
Y/N: (groans) Oh god, that jerk.
Kate: Language, this is a daycare.
Y/N: (whispers) Sorry.
Kate: So? Am I gonna be an aunt soon?
Y/N: Ugh Kate, stop. My OB-Gyne is enough to pressure me.
Kate: Fine. But seriously sis, how the hell would your breeding plan work if you won’t commit? Won’t guys find that odd? I mean do you actually believe that you’re not gonna develop feelings eventually? Especially if you don’t get pregnant in, you know, ‘one go’.
You sigh. She’s got a point.
Kate: Then that makes Jimin a perfect candidate.
You groan and roll your eyes.
Kate: Perfect genes, dad and uncle in one, no possible heartbreak nor emotional damage, and you guys can work out a setup where there’s no commitment. You’ll be the mom and he would just (shrugs) do the daddy-ing once in a while?
Y/N: No, no Jimin in the equation, okay? Sis, we’re practically siblings. That’s incest.
Before Kate can even react, you hear a tiny voice ask “What’s incest?” You and Kate were surprised that one of the kids in the daycare heard you. When you looked down, you saw a pretty 6-year old in a cute jumper.
Kate: (to you)(whispers) You better take care of that. (to the kid) Hey Rocky sweetheart. (fixes her nametag) This is my sister Y/n and she’s joining us today, because she’s done with work. Right, Y/n? (glares at you) So, do you want to hang out with her while I prepare your snacks?
Rocky: Hm. (shrugs) Yeah, I guess.
You’re surprised that this kid’s so sass for her age. It’s not usually crowded today so you get to bond with Rocky. While she’s drawing.
Y/N: Wow, those are perfect lines honey. How did you learn to draw?
Rocky: It’s in the genes maybe? My dad is an artist.
Y/N: Oh yeah? So um, your dad must be busy huh? I mean are you here often?
Rocky: (nods) Mhm. What do you do?
Y/N: Me? Oh uh, I work for a corporation and do, you know, boring grownup stuff. (winks)
Rocky: (chuckles) You sound like my dad.
Y/N: (smiles) Yeah? Well, good news is that you won’t grow up anytime soon and do the boring grown up stuff that we do. (chuckles)
Rocky: Will I see you here often?
Y/N: Why? Do you want to see me here often?
She nods and smiles cutely, flashing those cute dimples.
Y/N: You know I used to be here a lot and help Kate around. It keeps my mind off my stressful job. So I guess that’s a yes. (nods) I think I should come here often.
You guys clicked. If you’re being honest, you always wanted a daughter. Instant best friend, sister, baby all rolled into one. But at the rate you’re going with your OB-Gyne advising you to freeze your eggs, you know you’re not in any place to be choosy.
So you try your best to swing by the daycare as often as you can and fortunately, you get to catch Rocky when you drop by. You saw a babysitter pick her up a few times, but no ‘other dad’. You assumed he must be really busy.
Some weeks later.
Rocky: (to babysitter) Really??? (excited) We’re going to daddy’s office?
Babysitter: (smiles) Mhm. He said he’s taking you to a nice dinner tonight.
Rocky: Yay! (to you) Will you be here tomorrow?
A question she always asks.
Y/N: (leans forward) I’m not promising, but I will try. (smiles)(boops her nose)
Rocky: (hugs you) Thanks for today, Y/n. Bye!
Y/N: Bye! Enjoy dinner.
While closing up.
Y/N: That kid’s parents must be really busy. I mean daycare + babysitter? Ugh. That’s exactly one of the reasons why I don’t want to get married. We’ll argue about that for sure.
Kate: (arranging toys) Why, because you’re workaholic enough to get yourself an alter ego and end up getting a babysitter?
Y/N: (throws a stuffed toy at her) I hate you.
Kate: (laughing) Truth hurts huh? (exhales sharply) Oh but did I not tell you? Rocky’s dad picked her up once and damn, he’s hot.
Y/N: Yeah?
Kate: Mhm. The mom must be pretty. I mean, look at Rocky.
Y/N: Oh for sure.
The door swings open.
Jimin: ‘Evening ladies!
Kate: Ooh, Mr. Sperm Donor is here.
Jimin: Ooh, did I miss something? (to you) Did you finally approve?
Y/N: Oh my god, cut it out before I punch your pretty face.
Jimin: Uh-huh, you admit I have a pretty face. (winks)
Y/N: You know I always tell you that, but no, you are in no way gonna be part of my breeding plan.
Jimin and Kate burst into laughs.
Jimin: Finally calling it a breeding plan!
You roll your eyes.
Jimin: Anyway, it’s the weekend and I’m in the mood to treat you to a nice dinner and we’ll go to Kim’s afterwards.
Kate: Ooh, can I bring Tom?
Jimin: Please, it’s been a while since we guys hung out.
Kate: (to you) See why I want him as my brother-in-law?
You groan. You’re not too busy so you thought it’d be nice to go to some dinner and clubbing. You went to Jin’s club and he’s there bartending. You sit alone by the bar again since Jimin has his date and your sister is busy dancing with her boyfriend. This time, you plan on charging some top shelf drinks to Jimin.
Y/N: Oh Jimin Park, that big-mouth.
Jin keeps on laughing.
Jin: Hey I’m not judging and that just sounds natural for our age. I mean your age.
Y/N: Do you really have to rub it in? (drinks a shot)
Jin: Okay, so if Jimin is out of the equation, would you consider me? I swear our kid would have the best looks. (winks)
Y/N: Oh my god, you did not just say that.
Jin laughs again.
Jin: Okay I’ll stop bothering you. Just let these guys know if you want anything okay? I just need to take this call upstairs.
Y/N: Cool. Thanks Jin.
You get a text from Namjoon, asking what you’re up to. You answered with a photo of your drink.
Namjoon: Ugh, so envious. This is the only top shelf I can afford right now. Cheers.
Message is followed by a photo of his hot cocoa, a familiar television behind it, two pairs of legs wearing cute socks - he’s probably having a nice time with his niece.
Y/N: Cute!
He sends a photo of him smiling cutely in a teddy bear hoodie.
Namjoon: Thanks!
Y/N: Haha, smooth.
Namjoon: I miss you. Once this project is over, I hope we can go out again.
You smile. You never planned on going steady with someone, but at this point, does it not look like ‘going steady’?
Y/N: I miss you, too. Yes, once our major project is also over, that sounds like a plan.
A couple of weeks later at your place. Namjoon pins you to the wall as you kiss each other hungrily.
Y/N: (panting) I hope you brought condoms?
Namjoon: Oh shoot, I didn’t. Sorry.
Y/N: Oh shush, I’m clean.
Namjoon: I am too. Baby at the rate we’re going, I think the only thing that fucked us for the past month would be our jobs.
Y/N: Oh god, yes!
Namjoon: And damn I envy your job.
You laugh and he kisses you again. A couple of rounds and some after-care later, you lay in bed lazily. Still naked under the sheets, laughing at Namjoon’s story.
Y/N: (laughing) You’re such a dork.
Namjoon: I know. (pulls you closer)
He’s just staring at you.
Y/N: What? (touches his dimples) You always do that.
Namjoon: Do what?
Y/N: Stare at me.
Namjoon: I am not staring, I am adoring. There’s a difference. (winks)
Y/N: (snorts) Stop Mr. Sweet Talker.
Namjoon: And you always do that.
Y/N: What?
Namjoon: Touching my dimples.
Y/N: (hums) Hm, I adore them. (smiles)
Namjoon: (chuckles) Why, look at you little Miss Smooth Talker.
He pulls you in for a sweet kiss.
Things are still aren’t clear between you and Namjoon. You don’t want to label what you have, you try your best not to demand time and attention from each other, but you made it clear to each other that if you stay in this ‘situationship’ where you get intimate, you’re not supposed to sleep with other people. Saves you both from STDs and whatnots. You both want that anyway. Besides, as Namjoon said, there’s no time to fuck other people when you’re both busy fucking your jobs.
Namjoon likes you. So much. Damn he might actually be falling for you at this point. But you made it clear from day one that you’re not the type to commit, so he’s having second thoughts confessing.
You, on the other hand, are trying your best to stick to your ‘no-hubby-’baby-only’ principle. Your previous relationships have done you enough damage so you think not being in one saves you from all the hurt. Namjoon is there and though you think it’s unfair, you feel that what you have is enough for now. Also, like Jimin and Jin, he’s out of the breeding plan.
One time at the daycare, you’re getting ready to go and getting some of the kids’ stuff ready including Rocky’s.
Rocky: Are you in a hurry?
Y/N: Not really honey. Why? (puts her jacket on)
Rocky: My dad’s picking me up today and I want you to meet him. (giggles)
Y/N: Oh yeah? Okay, let’s do that. (smiles and puts her beanie on) You know your dad’s running a bit late, yeah?
Rocky: He’s always late. (frowns cutely)
You chuckle. The door swings open and you hear a familiar voice talk to Kate. “I’m really sorry. I got stuck in a meeting.”
Kate: Oh it’s fine, really. Surprised you’re the one picking her up today. (smiles) Rocky! Your dad’s here.
–
Rocky: (turns her head) Daddy! (waves at him)
You stand and look at the front desk. You’re ready with a smile that you’re finally meeting one of Rocky’s parents. You did not know that you were in for the biggest surprise of your life.
Standing at the front desk is Namjoon. Both your smiles faded when you saw each other.
Rocky: (runs to Namjoon) Daddy!
Namjoon: Um, hey munchkin. (carries her)
Rocky: (points you) She’s the one I told you about. My favorite daycare buddy. (giggles)
Kate: Aww, so I’m not your favorite? (frowns)
Rocky: You are too, Kate. (giggles)
Kate: (chuckles)(to Namjoon) Oh Mr. Kim, this is my sister Y/N. She doesn’t work here full-time but she helps out whenever she has the time. And yeah, I guess she’s Rocky’s favorite buddy in here. (chuckles)
Namjoon: (nods) Right.
Kate: Sis, this is Mr. Namjoon Kim, Rocky’s dad. (smiles)
Still startled, you managed to get your shit together.
Y/N: Oh uh, hi Mr. Kim. It’s nice to meet you. (smiles)
You shake hands. The door swings open again.
Kate: Oh you’re here! Picking up your date?
Jimin: Don’t tag her as my date or she’ll kill you. (hugs Kate)(to you) ‘You ready to go? (kisses your head)
You told Namjoon about Jimin and Jimin knows about Namjoon sans the name, the face and the rest of the details. So they basically know each other, but not just properly introduced yet - or ever. You don’t think they’ll get properly introduced any longer with the plot twist you’re witnessing right now.
Y/N: Um, (nods) yeah.
You left a whole lot of questions in the daycare that day.
Namjoon tried messaging and calling you all night, but you’re not in the mood to deal with him yet. You are Jimin’s plus one that night at his boss’s 60th birthday. Their company got him a room at the hotel so you’re staying the night, too. While you’re changing up to more comfortable after-party clothes.
Jimin: I’m sorry, what??? So that’s him earlier? And he’s Rocky’s dad? (wears shirt)
Y/N: (tying your hair up) Mhm. Sucks, right?
Jimin: (sighs) Okay, why do I sense that you’re so disappointed?
Y/N: I am not so disappointed, Chim. I am worried. I mean can you just imagine me sleeping with a guy who claimed he’s never married nor have kids? I feel like a homewrecker at this point.
Jimin: Yeah, hang on, I know. That’s a natural reaction. But I sense something else.
Y/N: There is no ‘something else’.
You wear your jacket while Jimin keeps quiet for a few seconds. You thought he’s already dropping this conversation.
Jimin: (snickers) You have feelings for this guy. (wiggles index finger) I knew it.
Y/N: Oh my god. He’s not dropping it. (wears earrings)
Jimin: No, wait, I really won’t drop this until I hear it from you.
Y/N: (sighs) Fine. I might be ‘feeling things’ for this guy, okay? Happy now?
Jimin: Okay. So aside from the fact - which we aren’t 100% sure yet - that he’s got a kid or he’s actually married, what could be so wrong?
Y/N: Because it will ruin my plans!
Jimin: God Y/n, what is so wrong with having a complete family?
Y/N: Because of the possibility that my kids will have a broken one like mine and Kate’s. I mean don’t you remember the common thing my exes have against me? They said that I’m hard to love. (scoffs) Couples could divorce, kids usually go to the mother’s custody so I prefer not to go through all that trouble and just have kids. Period.
Jimin: You know that not all marriages end in divorce, right? You just think so because that’s what you want to believe in or at least that’s what your experiences made you believe. (exhales sharply) You want a guy’s POV? A guy like me who doesn't do second nights or second meet-ups would not, at all cost, bend or break my rules unless I’m so into a girl. You told me before that Namjoon said almost the same thing and look where you guys are now. You’re going out, you’re both not seeing anybody but each other. I tell you, this guy is also ‘feeling things’.
He’s got a point. You and Namjoon feel like you have an unspoken rule.
Jimin: So until we’re sure about him being married or having a kid, fuck that no-hubby-baby-only plan of yours.
You scoff.
Jimin: Don’t scoff at me, lady. This is me thinking about your future if you don’t want me to be the male dog or cat or bird.
You can’t help but laugh at his remark.
Despite all the talking, you still did not reach out to Namjoon that night…and the days after that. He’s persistent at reaching you, but to no luck. Namjoon wouldn’t want to come unannounced at your place. He’s thinks it would be a bit too much. So he decided to wait patiently.
A few days later at Namjoon’s place. He’s drinking with his best friend Hobi. Bella, the babysitter, steps out of Rocky’s room.
Bella: She’s finally down.
Namjoon: And? Is she feeling better?
Bella: Nah, she’s still upset that she’s not seeing Y/n at the daycare for days now.
Namjoon sighs.
Namjoon: (gives allowance) Anyway, thanks for today Bella.
Bella: No problem boss. I’ll go ahead. Good night guys.
Hobi: Good night, Bella.
Hobi starts to laugh.
Namjoon: (scoffs) You’re actually laughing?
Hobi: I’m sorry. (laughs for the last time) Okay, I’m sorry, I’m done laughing. Nah bro, it’s just that you already found someone who loves kids and Rocky found someone she obviously considers as mom-material and the timing was just fucking bad.
Namjoon sighs.
Hobi: Before, you’d tell your date straight up that you’re adopting a kid and then they suddenly disappear. This time you switched to not telling your date too soon and this is what happens.
Namjoon is quiet.
Hobi: (snickers) You like her. (nods) So much.
Namjoon: (sighs) Yeah but she doesn’t want any labels, she said she doesn’t want to commit, and she doesn’t even want to call our meet-ups ‘dates’.
Hobi laughs.
Hobi: Oh she’s really something. No doubt she got you hooked. (drinks whisky) I’d love to meet her. And no, don’t make any more excuses like you don’t want to be pushy or anything. If you want her, then you really should push, you get me?
The next day indeed, Namjoon decides to push.
Your assistant knocks and enters your office.
Maya: Hey girl boss. How far along are you with that breeding plan of yours?
Y/N: (scoffs) Really? You too call it that now?
Maya: Well, your best friend’s pretty witty coining that term. (winks)
Y/N: (groans) Argh, gonna kill Park for this.
Maya: Well the reason I asked is there’s somebody to see you. He’s too hot to be a client so I figured you already chose a sperm donor?
Y/N: (scowls) Oh my god, Maya!
Maya: What? You don’t like ‘breeding plan’, ‘sperm donor’, then okay. Would ‘baby-daddy’ work?
Y/N: God, you're giving me a headache. Who is it again?
Maya: Oh he didn’t give his name like the discreet gentleman he should be. But I sent him to the lounge where you could speak more (whispers) privately. (smiles)
And off she went.
Y/N: (sighs) What kind of people have I surrounded myself with?
You shake your head and leave your office. When you step into the lounge, you can already tell it’s Namjoon just by seeing his back. He turns around.
Namjoon: Um, hi. (smiles)
Y/N: Namjoon, hi. (smiles) What brought you here?
Namjoon did not waste a second. He explained everything in detail and left no crumbs. Rocky is his late brother’s daughter; her mom abandoned her upon birth; Rocky calls her dad one day and he’s not complaining; she grew up with their youngest sister, but now that she’s getting married and expecting, she needs a hand with Rocky. On top of all of that, Rocky’s mom suddenly shows up not so long ago, trying to get custody of her and Namjoon’s family won’t allow it. Hence, Namjoon moving to the city.
He explained why he didn’t tell her about all this at first because of how his previous potential relationships ended, like knowing he’s got a niece that he wanted to legally adopt someday. Now that Rocky’s mom is in the picture, he might just adopt her sooner than planned.
You were in tears hearing Rocky’s story. It must be so hard for her to experience all these at a young age.
Y/N: Well at least we cleared the air now. (sniffles and wipes your tears) I um, I’m sorry I didn’t take your calls. I just- I just needed some space.
Namjoon: I understand. And I never want to throw everything at you like this but- (sighs) I like you, Y/n. I want you, I want this, I want us. So I figured I should do this sooner and accept whatever your decision is.
So Jimin’s right - this guy is into you and is also ‘feeling things’. You’re surprised at his confession. You feel like giving in any second, but your stubborn self won’t let you.
Y/N: I uh- I like you too, Namjoon.
Namjoon strongly feels there’s a but.
Y/N: But I need some time to process everything. And it’s not about you, or Rocky, or your plans of legally adopting her - believe me, that sounds really beautiful. I just have to deal with myself first. (Sighs) I just need to know what I really want right now.
As much as Namjoon understands, he’s a bit sad with what you said. It’s blurry and it feels like he’s not seeing the end of the tunnel anytime soon.
Namjoon: (nods) Okay. Okay. (smiles sadly)
Y/N: I’m sorry.
Namjoon: Yeah, no, no it’s fine. I totally understand.
You parted ways that afternoon with no clear resolution let alone a reunion. After that day he decided not to bother you anymore. He gave you the time you needed without any assurance that you’d still want him in the end.
You start coming over to the daycare again and Rocky couldn’t be any happier. There are times when Namjoon is the one picking her up and you’d both just act casually. Kate eventually knew about your situation and with the words she told you, you swear she’s like Jimin’s little clone.
Point taken, air cleared. Now all you have to do is get your shit together. You want Namjoon. He has a beautiful mind, he has a very kind heart. So Jimin and Kate were like “So what the hell are you waiting for?” all the time.
One day at the daycare.
Y/N: I’m sorry, what?
Kate: (nods) Mhm. You heard it right. It’s the final hearing tomorrow and Namjoon’s lawyer is MIA. Bella heard from Namjoon’s best friend that Rocky’s mom’s rich folks must’ve paid his lawyer to get his hands off the case.
You sigh. And quite honestly, you’re very worried. You’ve seen how Namjoon wanted Rocky.
Kate: Bella said she has never seen Namjoon upset and depressed the last few weeks. (exhales sharply) Rocky’s mom is a total pain in the ass. Imagine her leaving Rocky broken and now she’s back to, what, confuse her daughter even more?
You’re quiet. Thinking.
Kate: Anyway, that’s some news about Nam-
You suddenly grab your coat and bag and you storm out.
Kate: Wha- Y/n! Where the hell are you going?!
Later that night you ended up at Jin’s club. You’re already on your third glass of gin and tonic when he arrives.
Y/N: Finally!
Jin: I know, I know, I’m late. (gives you a hug) But Garrick already told me the deets and (goes behind the bar) Jeremy has always been an asshole, but damn, he really proved it this time.
Y/N: (sighs) I know. So? Can you squeeze them in?
Jin: (pours some whisky) I don’t think you’d want no for an answer, yeah? (drinks) Hm, so tell me Choi. (pours another glass) Why are you so invested in this man’s case?
He puts the glass next to you and as if on queue, Jimin sits beside you.
Jimin: Because this man is our friend’s potential male dog-slash-cat-slash-bird-slash-whatever creature. (Fist bump) Hey bud. (Kisses your head) Hey hon.
Jin: For real??? The baby-daddy???
Y/N: (to them) Have you been talking to Maya???
Jimin: (ignores you) Yes my man. Namjoon Kim is the missing link in Y/n’s breeding plan.
You roll your eyes at these guys being silly.
Jimin: (Drinks whisky) So, are you in?
Jin: (excited) Hell yeah I’m in! (To you) I’ll nail this case hon. For you and your baby-daddy. (Winks)
The next day at court. Namjoon is restless that he hasn't found himself a lawyer yet.
Judge: Mr. Kim, I’m afraid we’ll have to hear the final ruling now. It’s been a-
The door swings open and Jin’s rushing in.
Jin: I’m sorry, I’m here! Sorry, traffic.
Judge: And you are?
Jin stands beside Namjoon who is confused and surprised at the same time.
Jin: Afternoon judge, Seokjin Kim from Richards & Parker. And I’m representing Mr. Namjoon Kim today. (Winks at Namjoon)
He recognized him as the club owner.
Judge: Hm, ‘got yourself a fancy lawyer, Mr. Kim. Okay let's get prepped and start in 10.
—
Jin: Okay. (Checks documents) Namjoon? I got you today buddy, don't worry.
Namjoon: Ah- I- I’m not sure I called Richards and Parker for a lawyer?
Jin: Oh yeah you did not. But your girlfriend did.
Namjoon: (more confused)(stammers) Girl- girlfriend? I think you’re mistaken. I-
Then Namjoon hears Rocky call out your name. Namjoon turns his head and sees you walk in the court, shushing and smiling at Rocky.
Jin: (turns his head) Ah, isn’t that your girl?
You smile at Namjoon.
Jin: Explanations later, okay? Right now, let’s get you Rocky.
It’s an intense hearing, but as promised, Jin killed it. It’s the first time you see Namjoon cry after the hearing. He embraced Rocky tightly and their whole family is so glad that Rocky is now under Namjoon’s full custody.
You gave Namjoon his moment and you went to yours - at Jin’s club early that night to celebrate.
Y/N: So I have proved the hearsays today. That you looked hot in court. (chuckles)
Jin: Oh stop. And today I quit pushing to be your male dog because I saw how you looked at Mr. Future Baby-daddy out there.
You laugh and cover your face.
Jimin: (groans) Ugh, I should’ve come with you guys!
Jin looks behind you and smiles.
Jin: Whisky, dry?
You and Jimin turn around.
Namjoon: (smiles) On the rocks this time, please. (looks at you) Top shelf.
You smile at him. Jimin scoots so Namjoon could sit beside you.
Namjoon: Hi. (smiles)
Y/N: Hi. (smiles)
Jin and Jimin almost giggled at the sight of you finally welcoming a man in your life. They stayed and had drinks with you for a while and excused themselves after so you and Namjoon could talk.
You talked casually like you did the first time you met. You’d still laugh at him being dorky and he would still adore your ‘cute little thoughts’.
Y/N: You’re already taking some time off parenting on your first day? First few hours technically?
Namjoon: Oh uh, Rocky requested to spend some time with my sister before she leaves for Jersey. And she specifically told me to settle things with her favorite day care buddy or else, she won’t come back home. (Smiles)
Y/N: (laughs) Oh she’s such a darling.
You find yourselves on the dance floor a little while later. Your arms are around his shoulders and he’s holding you close.
Namjoon: So. I heard about this famous ‘breeding plan’.
Y/N: (snorts) Oh my god! (hugs him)
Namjoon: (laughs and hugs you tighter) If you only know how hopeful your friends and your sister are that you’d consider having a complete family someday and give up that no-hubby-baby-only rule of yours.
Y/N: (looks at him) Hm, I see you’ve been well-oriented. (smiles) Since when did you start hanging out with my weird circle of friends?
Namjoon: (thinks) Mm, since you left me sad and lonely. (chuckles softly)
Y/N: (laughs) That is so corny, Joon. (touches his dimples) I like it.
Namjoon: So? (tucks your hair behind your ears) Would you sign me up?
You look at him, slightly confused.
Namjoon: As your ‘baby-daddy’?
You laugh so hard.
Namjoon: That sounded weirder than it was in my head. (laughs)
Y/N: Right? (Chuckles) You must think I’m going crazy with that whole plan.
Namjoon: Of course not, baby. It sounded so human. And I’m certain you’ll make an amazing mother. (Smiles)
Y/N: (blushes) But hey. (Touching his hair) Let’s not pressure ourselves with that. Right now I just want this. I want us. I want you. (Smiles)
Namjoon smiles and kisses you.
-end-
