next day, 9:03 AM

Junho wakes up when he feels a weight on him. Momentarily, he thinks maybe he had too much junk the past week. He squints his eyes open and gasps, seeing his sister, rolling up his body and then down, as if it were a slide.

What is she? A toddler? 

"Ouch," he groans when Jinha elbows his stomach. Jinha sheepishly giggles and continues her mission: Annoy the shit out of your brother, just because you can.

He abruptly sits up and Jinha yelps, falling back on the mattress. She smiles innocently at her glaring brother. Seeing the mischievous glint in her eyes, Junho instantly starts tickling her stomach sending Jinha into a fit of giggles, "You little peupeu, will you trouble me more now?"

Hearing her giggles, Jungkook, who has just woken up and is walking around half asleep— unknowingly smiles. It's been so long he has heard the brother-sister banter and he never realised how happy them playing like this could make him. 

He looks up at the clock hanging on the wall. You don't have a day off from the work . . . that means Jungkook is left behind with the kids.

| 10:28am

"Jinha, just wear this, will you?" Jungkook exasperates, feeling his patience running thin. 

It's been thirty minutes of him trying to get Jinha dressed but the little girl wants to wear everything of matching colours. It so happens to be the case where Jungkook doesn't know where her things are kept so he can only randomly pick some clothes and accessories for her.

"Papa! This is blue and this is red!" Jinha whines and points at her clothes. She starts kicking when Jungkook forcefully traps her little frame in his arm, slipping in the red shorts. Jungkook hardens his gaze when a kick hits his stomach and Jinha stops, pouting. 

After having an intense discussion on how wrong he was in dressing her in different coloured clothes by his little one, he finally manages to get her ready. He seriously respects you for not losing your patience when you do this on a daily basis.

After he's packed all the stuff that Jinha /might/ need, Jungkook knocks on Junho's door and opens it the very next moment.

"Why knock, if you won't bother waiting for me to open it?" Junho mumbles under his breath not loud enough for his dad to hear.

"Wear your coat, we are going out," Jungkook says and closes the door. Junho makes a face, imitates his dad's 'I-am-trying-to-be-strict' expression before doing what he was asked to do so.

The car rides are always filled with Jinha asking the most embarrassing and random questions. "Why is the moon called the moon?" "Why does my class teacher have a beard under her arms?" (which almost made Jungkook and Junho snort)
