"Tae....you don't need to go to this slow"

"Yes, I do"

"I'm pretty sure I just saw a bicycle outside going faster than us"

"Well, good for it"

"Everyone behind us is honking at you!"

"Maybe they should get some patience, then"

"And maybe you should learn to relax!"

"I am relaxed!"

"Oh, really?"

"Yes!"

"Then how come your knuckles are white?"

Taehyung glanced down at his hands, which were gripping the steering wheel much more tightly than usual. Indeed, his knuckles were pure white, just like a ghost's

"Because....because my blood flow is off" Taehyung stammered

"Oh god, Tae, that was the worst lie I've ever heard"

Stopping at a red light, Taehyung glared over his shoulder at Jennie, who was sitting in the backseat with an incredulous look on her face

"There's nothing wrong with the way I'm driving, Jen"

"There's a difference between driving safely and driving like an old man" Jennie joked

"I have to be careful!" Taehyung stressed, looking back ahead and holding the wheel even more tightly. Jennie was really spiking his anxiety "No reckless driving here"

"But you never drove recklessly" Jennie groaned "So you don't need to change your methods!"

"I'm not taking any chances!" Taehyung hissed as the light turned green

He looked both ways, which was completely unnecessary since they weren't at an intersection, and only began driving after the two cars behind him honked. And even then, Taehyung was only going about fifteen miles an hour

"I can't stand this" Jennie grumbled, sinking down in her seat

"I'm being safe"

"You're being annoying"

Taehyung scowled and released the pressure he'd been putting on the gas pedal, trying to make sure he didn't go too fast. When Jennie was sure he wasn't going to respond to her jab, she sighed and leaned forward, poking her head between the driver and passenger seat

"You know, I am sitting back here with them"

"Yeah"

"So I know that everything is fine"

"Doesn't mean that I can't be cautious" Taehyung muttered

"Tae, babies like car rides" Jennie tried

"I know" Taehyung murmured "And this is a car ride"

"No, this is more like a turtle crossing the bridge" Jennie answered

"Everything is fine" Taehyung his wife "Don't worry about it, Jen. I know what I'm doing" From outside, another car honked as Taehyung made a particularly slow turn around a corner

Sighing, Jennie glanced down to her left, and then her right. By each of her sides, Her and Taehyung's baby twins were fast asleep in their car seats, completely unaffected by their father's slow driving and all of the resulting chaos outside

"I'm sorry about your daddy" Jennie whispered, shaking her head as she did so "He's sweet but he's also insanely overprotective. I'm hoping this won't go on for the rest of your lives, but....no promises"
