*5 years later*

"Soo-jin you come here right now!"

Kook hugs me from behind, "She's fine, the worst that can happen is she trips over a branch."

I scoff, "Exactly, that's what I'm trying to refrain from happening."

"What's happening?" Tae walks out of the cabin, "Why is Soo-jin running through the woods again. She scraped her knee last time."

"And then she got up like nothing happened." Kook retaliates, "She's a strong girl, she won't hurt herself."

Tae walks over to us, "But she's also fragile. You can't just let her do whatever she wants."

"I agree with Tae."

He smiles at me and kisses my lips, "Thank you. Kook? Are you going to go against both your partners or are you going to bring Soo-jin over here for dinner?"

Kook rolls his eyes, "I don't know why I put up with you two."

I smile, "Because you love us."

He kisses me, "I guess so." He starts to walk away.

"You forgot something." Kook rolls his eyes and walks back.

He kisses Tae, "Happy?"

Tae nods with a smile on his face, "Quite. Thank you."

Kook goes over to Soo-jin and pickes her up. Soo-jin giggles, "Dada! I was picking up the sticks."

Kook spins her around, "I saw! You were doing such a great job." He walks back over to Tae and I with Soo-jin on his hip. He places her down on the ground.

"Mama!" She runs over to me and jumps up. I catch her and hold her in my arms.

"Hi Bunny! Are you ready for supper? Tae made your favorite."

She smiles, "Dada bear make dino nuggies?"

Tae nods, "I also made brocolli."

She smiles, "Green trees! The dinos will be in the forest like us!"

Kook shakes his head, "I still don't know how you managed to make her like brocolli."

We walk into the cabin. Tae laughs, "It's called making a story. If she has fun deciding what her plate is made of, then she'll enjoy it two times more. I also made some mashed potatoes."

"Oh the mountains!" Soo-jin says.

Tae nods, "Yes the mountains." He looks over at Kook, "See. When she creates something with her food she enjoys it way more."

I sit Soo-jin down in her spot and push her chair forward so that she's closer to the table. Tae places the dishes with food on the table for everyone.

Soo-jin and I get the dino nuggets, while Kook and Tae eat regular chicken breast that Tae spiced.

"Mama can we go swimming in the lake?"

I hum, "Maybe tomorrow Bun, after supper you need to go to bed."

She wines, "Pleasse. Dada bear? Can I go swimming?"

Tae shakes his head, "You need to listen to your mama, she knows what's best."

She frowns and then looks at Kook, "Dada?"

He shakes his head, "Bun, you know that when mama makes a decision, it's the one that stays."

She wines, "But I wanna go swim."

I sigh, "How about if you stop complaining and we go swim tomorrow, dada bear will read you the book you like before bed."

She smiles, "And can dada sing the lullaby?"

I nod, "So in exchange for swimming tomorrow instead of now, you get a lullaby from dada and the story from dada bear. Deal?"

"Dada bear does different voices too?"

I nod, "Yes. Do we have a deal?" I stick out my index finger.

She pokes my index finger with her own, "Deal."

"Good. Now eat your forest, mountain and dinos."

She continues to eat her meal. I look over at Kook and Tae they both have shocked faces, "What?"

Kook laughs, "You taught our daughter how to bargain. Really well too. I'm actually quite proud of her."

I laugh, "She learns from the best."

Tae sighs, "Now I need to prepare myself to do all those different voices."

"Come on Winter Bear I'm sure you'll do great. Like the last few times you've done it this week."

"Yah yah whatever."

*In Bunnys room*

"And they lived happily ever after." Tae concluded.

Kook sighs, "But what happened to the brother duck?"

Soo-jin giggles, "Dada no listen, the brother duck goes home with Mama and Dada."

"But then why was the other duck left alone then?"

Soo-jin frowns, "Because no one like other duck, but I think that mean. Because I like other duck. Other duck was the best duck ever. The other duck reminds me of uncle Yoon. He likes to be alone, but when he's with uncle Seok he is happy. Like how the other duck is when he met the swan."

I smile at her, "You are right. Other duck does remind me of uncle Yoon."

"Time for lullaby!"

Kook sighs, "Get under your covers and I'll start it."

Soo-jin quickly gets off of Tae's lap and crawls into her bed. She goes under the covers and hugs the alpaca stuffy her uncle Jin gave her.

Let's just say he was very happy when he found out we named her Soo-jin instead of Soo-ah. He's picked her up from school a couple times and treated her to icecream. He spoils her too much. But overall, he's really great with her and so is Namjoon, so that's all that matters.

"Okay I'm ready." Kook picks me up off his lap and carries me over to Tae, I lay against his chest like how I was on Kook.

Kook sits down on the edge of the bed and brushes Soo-jins hair out of her face. Then he starts to sing, 《insert Jungkook singing the first two verses of Blue & Grey》

Soo-jin falls asleep. I look over at Kook and he looks over at Tae and I with loving eyes. He looks back down at Soo-jin and kisses her forehead. I get up off of Tae and kiss her forehead as well. Tae gets up and does the same.

We start to leave the room. I turn off the lights and put on her little fairy lights on as a night light. I close the door behind me. Kook waits for me in the hall, "You ready for bed?"

I give him a questionning look, "It's only 8:30."

He laughs, "Than do you want to have a little fun?"

I look back at Soo-jins room and then back at Kook, "Won't we wake her?"

He shakes his head, "You know she's a heavy sleeper like me. Plus I think Tae is Horny."

"Why do you think that-"

A moan comes out of the bedroom.
