: When do you think is the right time to tell you kids about your wife/their mother? Or do you think they'll figure it out like how Tae and Jin did?

Namjoon: I...I know I probably should have told them right away, but I also know how stressed out they get if the cereal box is almost empty. What would it do to them, telling them that their mom, even though she kissed their foreheads and said "I love you" every night, somehow managed to just stop loving them? I just don't want them to ever blame themselves...if anything, it's my fault...but...I know it's selfish, but I just want to see them happy. So I'm not sure when I'll tell them but I'm going to try to avoid it as long as I possibly can. Let them worry about the cereal. They don't need this right now.

: Why didn't you and your wife think about family planning?

Namjoon: Well, it's not that we didn't...I guess we'd kind of planned to have four kids. You know what they say about groups of three; two usually bond really well and the other one gets lonely. So we didn't want only three kids, but after she gave birth to Yoongi, I just...I already loved Jin and Yoongi so much, but I still felt like I was missing something, like there was something - someone - I still needed to meet. So we decided to have four kids, and after having Hobi, I knew it wasn't a mistake...When we got to the ultrasound and first heard the word triplets, though...that was a bit of a surprise, but I can't say that I regret it. I love all my kids, and I don't care what the family planning handbook says. Whatever we would have planned, I'm happy with what I have now, and I couldn't have been half as happy if I would have tried to schedule everything and make it all perfect on paper. Reality, life - as spontaneous and unpredictable as it is - that's where the beauty is. And on a side note, if things would have gone according to plan, I never would have gotten Tae or Kookie! So I'm satisfied with the way things are now, no need to change.

: Why are you so cute? And can I be your babysitter? Ily boo

Namjoon: Ah, hahaha...Um...I know I don't really have a wife, but can you not do this in front of the kids? Thanks...but, um...I think I might need to start looking at babysitters...That said...how do you feel about demonic symbols...?

: How did you feel when that bi---- wife of your left you with beautiful and adorable children?

Namjoon: Well...we were outside, so I was kind of cold. But for real...I was kind of pissed. I mean heartbroken too, but I was more angry at her for leaving the kids than for leaving me. That's probably because she was right; I had let our marriage take second place to raising our kids, but I guess I'd kind of assumed that she'd do the same, only she found something - someone - else to take priority for her, and now they're probably living together in some cushy apartment decked out with sleek modernist lights and chair and smooth grey carpeting and whatever the hell else. Jin was only five years old. Five years old. How could she do that? I- I'm getting angry just talking about this. I keep telling myself I'm fine with it, that I've on, but then whenever I think about her- I'm sorry, I can't talk about this anymore.

: How......how did you end up with 6 beautiful children?? Were they planned?!

Namjoon: Well thank you and you're correct in that they're all beautiful. And as for planning...somewhat. I believe I provided someone else with the details already, but having triplets was a surprise, one I'm very happy that occurred.

: What is the difference of waking up before you had these 6 beautiful babies and after?

Namjoon: I'm more tired now, for one. Working nights and then getting up early to drive them all to school is kind of crazy for my sleep schedule. But it's worth it because when I woke up before them, I was alone. I got up by myself, ate breakfast by myself, and left without a goodbye. But now the kitchen table is always full, kids are always running around, and we all leave together. I love it. Plus, their just-woke-up faces are the most precious things...

: You are a wonderful dad! Keep it up Joonieeee

Namjoon: Ah, thank you. I'm trying to be a good dad...We'll see I guess. Although I'm definitely not looking forward to the awkward tween and teen years...I'm getting grey hair just thinking about it.

: It must be difficult for you of course to handle and keep up with all your kids but let me tell you a secret....your kids are just pretending to be happy so that you won't get sad, all of them are just showing that they are strong, just like you... I'm sure to a certain extent you must be knowing it but what do you think as a lovely father you are, YOU can do in this scenario? How are you gonna make them feel happy? And I think probably, if YOU try to be genuinely internally completely happy, they might also be.

Namjoon: Sometimes I pick up on that. It breaks my heart, when they think they have to lie to me to make me proud, but what am I going to do, beat the truth out of them? My only hope is that if I provide a safe, loving environment for them at home, they'll adapt it to the other parts of their lives. I can't claim that I know everything that's going on, but sometimes Jin will talk about his best friend and repeatedly call him by the wrong name. Yoongi - strangely enough, I was worried about him the most, but he seems to be making friends. Hobi must be hitting a growth spurt because he always comes home hungry and sneaks food out of the fridge, and I always pretend I don't notice. The triplets, I'm not so worried about because whereas Jimin and Kookie are a bit shy, Tae always takes care of them and protects them. The only concern I have is that they'll stick too closely to each other and not make friends for themselves, but I'm at least happy that they have such a great relationship. As for your suggestion...it may not seem like it, but I am happy. Not every second of every day. Not when my ex-wife calls me to tell me that she wants to steal my first-born. But when I see drawings hung up on the fridge or get a kiss on the cheek before they go to school...the little things make me happy. And that's enough for me.

: And Joon-ah thanks for being an adorable father... Sarange ❤ Just remember your wife isn't with you. That's HER loss and not your fault, okay? 😊

Namjoon: I keep telling myself that, and I think I believe it, but sometimes it's hard to remember. Part of me wants to get back at her somehow, but I need to remember that the kids are my top priority, not my bitterness towards my ex-wife. Still...I got to see Jimin dressed as an angel for Halloween (among all their other adorable costumes) and she didn't, so she's definitely missing out.

: What made you go on to continue looking after them, despite your wife leaving you? In addition, how did it feel when she left? It isn't your fault that she left, so it must be very difficult for you to always keep the 6 of them happy and such.

Namjoon: I guess it was because they'd become the center of my life. I'd always wanted kids more than she had. Obviously, I couldn't give birth myself so she went along with it, but it had always been my wish more than hers. When she left, I was angry and hurt, but I didn't really have time to process all of that because I still had six kids to raise every single day. Maybe that's why it still hurts, because I never worked it out of my system. It's not like I can go out and drink all night when I am responsible for six kids in the morning. But as for their happiness, they're honestly such good kids that it doesn't take much to make them happy. Just set out crayons and some paper and they're golden. Although I really shouldn't leave the TV if I decide to take any naps...
