"And you're doing okay down there with your brothers? I don't need to come pack you up and bring you back home?" Namjoon playfully rolled his eyes as he shifted in the bed next to Jin, his phone resting in between the two as they spoke to Jungkook the night before his first day of college.

"Dad, it's literally only been five days, I am fine." Jungkook's voice rang through the speaker, attempting to calm and assure Jin. "I gotta go, Jimin's boyfriend made dinner for us. It's Mexican night!"

Both Jin and Namjoon couldn't help but to smile at how excited their youngest child sounded for food. "Alright, Kookie, I'll call you tomorrow to see how your first day went." In response, the couple heard the voices of their three youngest exclaiming into the phone that they missed them. "We miss you too!" Jin and Namjoon said one final goodbye before finally hanging up the phone. Jin sighed deeply, making Namjoon look at him. "What do we do now?" Jin looked at him sadly. "All of our babies are grown up and moved off."

Namjoon scooted closer to Jin and wrapped his arm over his waist, pressing a kiss to the side of his neck. "You say that like we'll never see them again." Jin pouted, making Namjoon continue. "Yoongi lives just a few minutes away, and you see him almost every day when he goes to pick Sammie and Chloe up from the preschool. Hoseok lives just across town, and we both know that the twins and Jungkook plan on coming back as soon as they graduate." Jin grumbled, obviously not wanting to admit that Namjoon was right. "Come on, we're supposed to be happy that they all grew up to be good, responsible adults."

Jin sighed dramatically. "I guess you're right." He turned to look at his husband of 15 years. "I hate when you do that."

"Do what?" Namjoon asked, trailing a few soft kisses along Jin's jaw.

"Get all logical with me." Jin pouted more as Namjoon sat up.

"Looks like you need a distraction~" Before Jin could ask Namjoon what he meant, Namjoon was already maneuvering himself to fit between Jin's legs, making Jin start to giggle as he spread his legs to accommodate him. "We still haven't celebrated your promotion." At the end of July, the director of the preschool notified the staff of her retirement, spending the first couple of weeks deciding who would be her successor. She eventually picked Jin, who everyone knew was the obvious choice as he had been working there the longest, and the next day would be his first official day as the director.

"That's right, we haven't. Someone's slacking~" Jin teased, playfully smacking Namjoon's shoulder before gladly welcoming his lips on his own.

"Morning, Daddy!" Sammie greeted as Yoongi entered the kitchen, still tucking his shirt in as he was running slightly behind that morning.

"Good morning, princess~" Yoongi stopped to kiss the top of his four-year old's head before walking over to the counter to fix his own breakfast plate. Sophia was also at the counter, making a bottle for the newest addition to their family, two-month-old Chloe. "Thank you for making breakfast." Yoongi lightly kissed his wife before tickling the bottom of Chloe's foot. "And there's the little noisemaker~" Chloe quirked her lips up in a toothless grin as Yoongi spoke to her. "Someone just didn't want to sleep last night, did they?"
