Just One Day [Taekook]

23) A Day at the Zoo

"Bunnyyyy, are you done?" Taehyung asked, for the millionth time.

"Coming Hyung. Just two minutes." Jungkook yelled back.

"You've been saying that for the past one hour." Taehyung and Eunie looked at each other and sighed for the nth time.

"Why are you glaring at me like I'm the one who's making us late? It's not my fault if your Bunny can't tell time." Taehyung said, glaring at his daughter.

"I'm here, I'm here." Jungkook came running towards them huffing and panting, holding a big basket.

"Slow down, Bunny. And what's in this basket?" Taehyung asked, taking the bag from his hand.

"It's food and drinks for the three of us. There's also a blanket, a change of clothes for all of us, towels, plates, cups, spoons, napkins and an icebox to keep our drinks cold. Did I forget anything else?" Jungkook asked, mentally ticking off his checklist while Taehyung looked at him shocked.

"Uhm Bunny, where do you think we're going?" Taehyung asked, wanting to confirm if Jungkook knew where they were going or not.

"To Dalseong Park. But why are you asking me this, Hyung?" Jungkook replied.

"Just making sure you knew where we were going. You do realize that it's a zoo and not an actual jungle, right? We can get food there too. And I'm not even going to ask why we're carrying extra pairs of clothes for all of us?" Taehyung said, looking at the huge ass basket.

"Hyung, I know that we get food there too. But Eunie just recovered from a fever few days ago and I don't think eating outside food would be good for her stomach. And about the clothes, then that's because I heard there's a petting zoo there too where they'll let you play with the small animals and feed them food. There's no way you can play with animals without getting your clothes dirty. And even if they don't get dirty, isn't it better to be prepared than to be sorry?" Taehyung just stared at him open-mouthed, not knowing what to say.

"You know what, I take it back. You're a genius and I don't know what I'd do without you." Jungkook looked at his overdramatic Hyung and sighed.

"Aren't we getting late now, Hyung? You were in such a hurry before, now what happened?" Jungkook asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Oh yes yes, let's go, let's go." Taehyung hurried both of them out of the house. The drive to the park was not that long and even if it was, they were too excited to notice it. It's been a long time since Taehyung has done something like this, because Eunie hated going out in crowded places. So he never forced her, but this time he didn't even have to do anything to get his daughter to come out. All he did was tell Jungkook about it and the next thing he knew was that they were all going to the zoo on the weekend.

He smiled thinking of how much Jungkook had changed not just Eunie's life, but his life too. He was slowly changing into the old Taehyung, before everything was taken away from him and he couldn't be more happier about it, especially considering that he never thought he'd ever experience happiness like he'd experienced in the past. He looked at the Bunny boy who was sitting next to him and was humming whatever song that was playing on the FM and his heart swelled in happiness.

"Waah, this place is so beautiful. Thank you Hyung for bringing us here." Jungkook said, standing at the entrance of the park mesmerized. Right now they were standing at the bottom of the park, where there was a huge set of stairs leading to what looked like a huge ark. The place looked like something out of the Joseon era, with its old world architecture and charm.
