The little Cafe light flickered a few times before fully illuminating as Jungkook flipped on the switch. He kicked off his shoes with careless motions, uncaring if they scuffed against the linoleum floors. The next item to get discarded was his backpack, set down on the small kitchen countertop with more grace than Jungkook normally displayed. Typically it didn't have contents that he cared to protect.

Then he called for a kid around 5 yrs who was struggling to arrange the chairs in the little Cafe.
"Baby Rowon,Come to Mama , let's have breakfast,,, you're hungry na baby?"
"Mama I wanna help you,but this stupid chair isn't moving a bit! Humph Meanie chair"
Jungkook just chukled foundly at the kid's remark and proceeded to drag the little boy from the table.
"Baby, customers will Start to come in a few minutes,,so if you don't eat know how'll you help Mama then?hmm?"
Rowon made a very serious thinking face then nodded his tiny head finally agreeing to his Mama.
So,let me tell you something about this Baby and Jungkook.

Flashback To three years ago:
Their first meeting had gone as well as he had expected. Jungkook met him like 3 yrs ago , baby was just 2 then and trembling in a roadside pavement. Koo was returning from his University as he used to stay there till evening to read books in library. He couldn't afford to pay all the book bills he needed but also he wanted to complete his graduation,so the professors suggested him to borrow book from University library.

Well, Jungkook was just 19 years old then,,his parents passed away due to a road accident when he was 10 years old,so since then he was living in a aunt's house. But unfortunately that lady also passed away last year so now he was living at his own,in a cheap rented house near his University and working in a Cafe.

So , just usual day he was passing the dark alley beside the pavement. Suddenly he heard a slight sniffing sound coming from the narrow alley. First he thought it's hallucination, but then the sounds went loud as went more into the alley out of curiosity.
And that's where he found the little boy who he never thought would be the most precious gem of his life one day.
After taking the trembling boy in his house he found out that the boy's family left him there intentionally as they're too poor to take care of another kid after his sister born today,he actually had 3 more brothers before who were elder than him. So,hi parents abandoned him there no wanting to take him as a burden anymore.
Jungkook's heart Twitched seeing the little innocent kid so helpless and unwell. He wasn't also financially stable that time. Still that day he took a huge decision to adopt the kid and take care of him from then like his own son. And that's how his and his Baby Rowon's Journey started as a family,a little happy family... It's just they're lack of a Papa in their little love nest, Jungkook knows how Rowon's expression changes whenever he sees the customers with their kids, their father's playing around with their children,a complete happy family. But what can Jungkook do? Who'll even wants to be with him? A boy in his 24 with a little boy..... according to Jungkook no one is there who'll take responsibility of both of them,,,all of the men he dated were either lusting over his beauty or wanted a sugar baby,no one ever accepted Rowon. So,he gave up on finding a Lover and concentrated in his Baby Rowon. Also they both worked hard and built a little cafe near the bus stop where a lot of people daily loves to visit Just because of the cuteness of Rowon and the Nature of Jungkook. In a short both of them were well known in the town of Daegu as the owner of "Baby & Mama's Cafe".Since then, Jungkook didn't really get many chances to talk with the other man beyond pleasantries when he arrived and when he left.He did grow fond of Rowon as they spent every day he was there playing and doing movie marathons. After discovering Jungkook's diaries and seeing all the drawings he had on it, the boy had fervently begged the man to teach him as well.Rowon was like a ball of sunshine and rainbows and fairies in his life and a great kid to be loved till his last breath.
Anyways, Rowon was a good kid, a great kid, an amazing kid who didn't even cry when he dropped his cup hot chocolate on the white rug the other day in a moment of imbalance, though he was quite sad and very apologetic.
Imagine his surprise when he hears loud crying.

Back to the present:
Jungkook presented a cute looking strawberry pancake and a glass banana milkshake infront of the little boy and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast dishes as the office workers will be rushing in the Cafe anytime soon. But he stopped his work in the middle hearing a loud wail from the sitting place. He rushed there and saw Sobbing Rowon looking at him with puppy eyes.
"Baby bun" He knelt in front of the boy and, okay, yeah, pain, the pain was registering,. "Rowon, what happened, what's wrong?"
He patted the boy's tears away with the sleeves of his sweater, thanking his luck that the boy wasn't a snotty Rowon pointed to the table and- ah.
There was a bit of spilled milk over the boy's latest drawing.
"Oh, oh, no. Well, it was an accident, okay? We'll clean it up and start on a new one, no worries, hm?"and pulled the boy onto his lap, bouncing his knees and carding his fingers through 's hair in hopes of comforting him.
"B-But," sniffle, "Mama helped me draw that one a-and it was gonna be for my bamie"
Well bamie means bum, their little pet dog who's obviously a part of their happy family.Oh, spare his poor heart, Jungkook was torn between cooing and crying. This boy was too adorable for his own good.
"Then we'll draw another one and we'll make it even prettier."
The pout deepened and wow, arrow through the raven's heart. "But we used your pretty markers."
"Aw Rowie,, I can always buy more pretty markers. Here,"
grabbing whichever color was closest, Jungkook uncapped one and began drawing a bunny on his wrist and showed it to the boy who- oh, thank his lucky socks- finally stopped crying.
"See? Isn't it pretty?"
The boy nodded. "Mm!"
"But I'll have to wash it off later. Does that mean this drawing was a waste of marker?"
"Uhm, no?" Jeongguk smiled, ruffling the boy's hair. "
"Exactly. Now let's clean this up and make something new for Bamie okay? And I'm going for now, I've to ready the dishes, finish your breakie like a good boy huh!"
"So Kookoo not mad?"
He gave into his urges and finally pulled the boy close to his chest, plopping loud, obnoxious pecks on Rowon's round cheeks. The giggles he got in return were a balm to the pain he could still feel in his knee.
"I could never be mad at you."

somewhere At The Traffic of Busan:

Through the phone 📱

"Ahh Hyung I'm literally feeling like dying now, I don't care if I miss the meeting but first I need fill my stomach "
"Tae ,, how many times will I tell you to not forget to take the tiffin box,, you know na how much hard Jiminie works for the whole day still he never forgets to pack our food"
"I'm sorry Hyung ,, I swear I'm never gonna forget from next time"
"Yah yah I know, how much you'll remember"
Taehyung chukled hearing his grumpy hyung through the call.
"Okay,so Jimin strictly told me to tell you that you've leave this fucking meeting and your car in the fucking traffic and have your breakfast in any nearby cafe, and it's a order"
"But Hyung(sigh) you know right I don't eat outside food"
"I know Tae, but Jiminah told me there's a cafe near the bus stop, it's really good and hygienic,, Jin Hyung took Jiminah there one day, and after that they often visit"
"But you know I don't like roadside cafes"
"Aish this stubborn brat, just listen to me kiddo,if my Jiminah says,then it's obvious best, I'm sending you the location"
"Ahh , I can never win over you,, Okay, Whatever,, just tell me the name of the Cafe"
"Ohh,, it's "BaBy and Mama's Cafe"
