Jimin was helping set up the table for Taehyung's son, Eun-Chong, doljanchi (first birthday) in the visiting center at Haven House. The first birthday is very important so Taehyung wanted the party to go well. There are two primary purposes for the doljanchi, to foretell the cub's future and to bless the cub. It is believed that throwing a big party shows the family wishes the child good health and longevity. Setting up the Dolsang table was the key part.
Namjoon and KeonHo were putting up the screen at the back of the room. They already set up the long table with the cobalt blue and white tablecloth. Taehyung and Jimin were setting up 2 round tables on top to symbolize the wish for the cub to grow up without hardship.
On one table, the doljabi is set up for the cub to choose from, which include the Stethoscope, the Rolled Scroll, the Thread, Korean gold coins, the Fortune pouch, gold bowl of rice, the ink and brush set, a computer mouse, the Mapae Status badge, the Bow and Arrow, 5 colors of rolled paper tied together, a calculator and the Gavel.
On the other table is the pile of jujubes and dates to symbolize a happy life and future children, rice cakes to symbolize that the cub will get along with everyone, piles of fruit to represent prosperity, and Minari wrapped in a thread for vitality.
Even though they couldn't come, Jimin's parents had prepared the cake and all the food, including the traditional doomed Korean sweets which Jin was setting up in the front of the long table, along with the mound of yarn with norigae to symbolize a long and healthy life and the 5 colorful silk pouches in a transparent jar on the right to represent a vibrant life. In between different size candles and flower vases.

It is traditional to wear either hanboks or formal clothes. But they hadn't changed yet. Eun-Chong was crawling around with Dal playing with all the empty boxes and papers that were left on the floor. For him, the key component of his special day was being able to play with his cousin. He wasn't paying attention to what the adults were doing.
Jimin looks around to make sure they were alone before he whispers to Taehyung, "I know this is not the time but I have to tell you."
"Tell me what. Are you going to tell me why you have been acting so weird lately?" Taehyung answered while he fixed the white and green tablecloth. Stepping back to make sure it was even.
Jimin fidgeted with his own blue and gold tablecloth before saying softly, "I didn't think I was acting any different than normal."
"You have been distracted with something. Don't worry, I don't think anyone else has noticed." Taehyung slapped his hands and fixed the corners straight.
Jimin moved out of the way carefully, making sure not to knock anything off the Doh table. As he stood to the left of Taehyung, Jimin whispered into Taehyung's ear "Yoongi spanked me."
"What!" Taehyung jerked back, looking at Jimin in shock.
Jimin looked around quickly saying "Shhhhh." He waves his hands at the others, smiling brightly so they wouldn't think anything was wrong. "I don't want anyone else to know."
