"Are we going for blue or red?" Yoongi holds the dart pins with Yuri next to him and Jodi close behind them.

The family already played multiple games. Yoongi won the MVP for daddy's basketball game that made Yuri so proud of him. Yoongi treasures every second seeing both Yuri and Jodi laughing with him.

"I like the tiger" Yuri's pleading eyes makes Yoongi more determined to hit the balloon to get the prize.

"Okay, red it is" Yoongi aims for the red balloon. He has three pins, three chances to get the tiger stuff toy for his son. The first pin goes and he missed.

"It's okay, you still have two pins" Yuri gives him hope. Yoongi took a deep breath and let go of the second pin.

He missed again.

"It's okay, uncle Yoongi. Even if you don't get the tiger you're still the most awesome"

Yuri is really the sweetest kid. Jodi raised him well. Yoongi looked fiercely at the red balloon he's aiming. Before he can throw the last pin, Jodi's soft hand rubs his back. He tenses for few seconds but relaxes when he felt Jodi's warmth leaning close to him.

"If you missed, I'll just buy him a tiger stuff toy. I know you're already tired so don't feel pressured"

Another thing that made this day better is whenever Jodi shows her concern for Yoongi. She made sure to keep Yoongi hydrated after each activity, even wipes Yoongi's sweat with her towel. Yoongi thought he'll be the most happiest person if he could have these moments everyday. And even if Jodi is just acting in front of Yuri, Yoongi still count it as a win for him.

Yoongi inhales deeply and holds his breath. He feels his pulse as he make sure to hit his target this time. His eyes are fixed on the red balloon like everything around him disappear while he focuses on the red dot in front of him. He throws the last pin and finally the red balloon he's been aiming  burst. He exhales sharply, he even forgot how long he's been holding his breath. 

"Wow!" Yuri squeels and excitedly jump and clap his hands. The man hands him the cute tiger stuff toy and he smile to Yoongi. "Thank you, uncle Yoongi. You're really the best"

"Am I?" Yoongi's ego is on it's peak. He lower himself and hug his son. "I will do anything for you, buddy"

Jodi's heart can't be more happier, seeing the two most important person in her life in such moment. Yuri, unknowingly, hugging his daddy. While Yoongi holds back his tears, trying hard to keep his cool.

After a tiring day at school, the family heads to restaurant that Yoongi called earlier to make his reservation. Yuri wouldn't stop talking about all the things they did today at school. Jodi would have to remind Yuri not to talk while there's food in his mouth, and Yoongi smiles while quietly watching them. It's the first time the three of them had dinner together. Jodi don't talk to Yoongi that much, but it's fine with Yoongi. Seeing the two most important people in his life right now already makes the evening perfect for him.

On their drive going to Jodi's apartment, Yuri was so tired that he fell asleep on the back seat. Jodi glances at Yuri from the rear view mirror while she sits on the passenger side.

"He's surely tired" Yoongi speaks and Jodi looks at his direction.

"So are you. It's been a long day" Jodi still avoids Yoongi's eyes. "Yuri really enjoyed today, thank you Yoongi"

Yoongi smile when he hears his name from Jodi's pretty lips. "I'll do anything for him" He wants to say "for both of you" but Jodi was nice to him the whole day and he doesn't want to make things awkward again.

When they reached the apartment, Yoongi offers to carry Yuri to his room. Jodi helps Yuri brush his teeth and puts his pajamas. Yuri was indeed very tired that he won't even open his eyes.
