Taehyung yawned as he slowly filled up the electric kettle with water, placing it back on its stand to heat up.

He gathered a few mismatched mugs and placed them on the counter along with a few kinds of tea-bags. He stood on his top toes and reached up into the cabinet to grab some tortilla chips.

Grabbing a large bowl, the young man poured the chips and then retrieved some dip from the fridge, cracking it open and placing it in the middle of the bowl.

He smiled slightly as he saw the light click off on the kettle; signaling it was done heating the water.

He poured the tea and placed everything onto a large serving platter his parents had bought for gatherings such as these.

He swiped his deep brown hair out of his face and straightened his clothes out before grabbing the platter and walking back into the living room where his family sat.

"Tea, chips, and dip!" He called brightly, flashing the smile he had inherited from his parents; who now smiled back at him.

"I thought we were out of the tea I liked!" His little brother Jihoon shot up from his seat, eyes wide with expectation.

Taehyung laughed and ruffled the younger's hair, "I got some at the store while you and sis were at school... you're welcome by the way." He smirked.

"YES! Thank you Tae!" Jihoon cheered, rushing up to hug his older brother around the waist before taking his favorite cup of tea, happily plopping back down onto the couch.

"And of course, couldn't forget your favorite Minjee, straight black tea!" Taehyung joked, slyly handing his baby sister a boiling cup of the only drink she hated with a passion.

"No! I hate black tea! Ewww!" She cried, flailing her arms, causing Taehyung to break his facade and laugh, placing the cup back down on the tray.

"Ahh, sorry sorry, my mistake. Here's your drink." The eldest tried again, handing the young girl a nice cup of mild hot chocolate.

Minjee smiled and took the cup -showcasing her gapped front teeth.

Taehyung's parents watched with endearment from the couch, always so grateful at the relationship their children had fostered.

"Some green tea for Mom, and black tea for Dad." Taehyung repeated to himself as he doled out the cups accordingly, ignoring Minjee's constant cries about how black tea was disgusting.
