"Daddy, M' scared." Jungsoo whined, kicking his legs in protest when Jungkook reached out pick him up from his seat. "Don' wanna go!" He whined loudly, holding his seatbelt securely as he looked at Taehyung with a pout. "Daddy!"

"Taehyungie," Jungkook pouted, looking at The older man for help. "He won't let me..."

Taehyung sighed in irritation, closing the driver's seat door before reaching down to lift the child forcefully, undoing the seatbelt to lift him. "Kim Jungsoo, You will behave yourself right now." He sat the child on his hip. "Or you won't go to the park tomorrow, and You won't have any candy for the next two days. Do you Understand me?"

Jungsoo grew distressed, thrashing in Taehyung's hold as the three of them made their way across the parking lot, towards the cars of their friends.

"Googie," Jungsoo pouted, slumping in His father's arms as he grew tired from the struggle. He was acting up because he was nervous. He didn't like meeting new people, and he was scared to meet his Father's friends. He'd always been a little reserved, and the thought of meeting so many new people at once made him panic.

Jungkook giggled as he walked alongside Taehyung, patting the child's head In attempt to soothe him. "You'll be fine, Baby. Our Hyungs are very nice, You'll love them." He reassured. "I promise."

Jungsoo pouted. "Daddy, Can I go down?"

"Depends." Taehyung responded, his other hand now holding Jungkook's as They saw Hoseok and Jin run towards them from across the parking lot, with big grins on their faces -Namjoon, Yoongi and Jimin walking behind. "Will you behave tonight?"

Jungsoo nodded as he tugged on his father's ear, and Taehyung sighed, putting the boy down to stand on his own feet. "Fine."

Once grounded, Jungsoo Immediately ran towards Jin with his arms up. "unclwe Jinnie!" Jin, of course, met him half way so the child didn't have to cross the open space, and lifted him happily into his arms. Hoseok wasted no time in cooing at the cute little boy, squeezing his little cheeks lovingly.

While Hobi and Jin were preoccupied with Jungsoo, Jungkook tugged on Taehyung's hand, guiding him towards Jimin, Yoongi and Namjoon. "Come on Hyungie."

"Hey, You two." Namjoon Grinned, lifting a hand to gently ruffle Jungkook's hair. "You been okay?" The younger beamed brightly, letting go of Taehyung's hand in order to pounce On the other man.

"Namjoonie Hyung! I missed you alot!"

Taehyung stuffed his hands in his coat pocket, chuckling fondly as he watched Namjoon Lift Junglook's form, swinging him around in circles. Amused, He smiled at the other two, Yoongi leaning against Jimin's side. "How have you two been?"

"Good, Thanks! Yoongi finally agreed to buy a Cat!" Jimin grinned, linking his arm with Yoongi's. "Right yoongi?" The elder rolled his eyes but smiled slightly nonetheless. "Come on, Let's get inside!" Jimin giggled, linking his arms with Taehyung's and Yoongi's. "I've been craving crispy Duck all day."

With that being said, they all made their way towards the restaurant, heading inside for their long awaited group dinner.

Jungsoo had been shy and reserved all evening, but had reluctantly let His Father's friends talk to him when Jungkook gave him some encouraging praise. The boy found Yoongi to be very a cool person, even going as far as to call Yoongi a 'uncle jiminie's Meow Cat.'

Of course, the man had pouted at the child while Jimin cackled loudly, and Jungsoo found himself enjoying Himself more and more.

As for Namjoon, Jungsoo definitely did seem to develop a small slight attachment to Namjoon, whining for the man to feed him every so often and asking for head rubs.

"Hey Kook," Hoseok spoke, swallowing some Food with his hand hovering over his mouth as he caught everyone's attention. "Now that you're away from your father and stuff, Do you think you'll go to college?"

"U-Um, Probably not." Jungkook made a sour face, shaking his head as he looked down at his plate. "I like how my life is now... I don't think I could handle College. I don't want to stay in a dorm with a stranger."

Taehyung gently caressed the younger's thigh under the table, a subtle move of support as he slid his fingers inside the rips of Denim. The man didn't Care what Jungkook wanted to do; wether he goes to college or stays exactly how he is, It doesn't matter. In his eyes, The younger was free to do what he wanted. He wasn't under His Father's control anymore.

He'd support Jungkook with whatever choices he made.

"Yah, You know you'll always have a place to work in My Cafe." Jin grinned as he twirled his noodles on his fork. "So if you don't go, don't worry your coconut shaped head about it."

Jungkook pouted at the last part, and nodded shyly nonetheless. "Okay Jin Hyung."

It was nice; the Seven of them, plus Little Jungsoo, sat around a table in some fancy restaurant, eating a meal and spending time together. It felt nice, like they had been friends forever.

Jungkook looked up, his eyes trailing around the table. Jin was sneaking food from Namjoon's plate, Hoseok was talking non-stop, Taehyung was drinking wine from his glass, lips curled in amusement. He smiled a little at the sight, feeling himself relax. He even let a laugh slip when Jimin scolded Yoongi.

"Daddy, Can I have a sleepover with Namjoonie?" Jungsoo pouted, looking at his father with the roundest puppy eyes, bottom lip jutted out. "Plwease?"

Taehyung rose a brow, gaze flickering to wards Jin and Namjoon. "Would that be okay with you?"

"Of course!" Jin nodded hastily and Namjoon just smiled, dimples on full display. "We'd Love to have Little Jungie over. We can watch disney and bake cookies." Jin cooed, petting the child's hair. "And Namjoon can read him a bedtime story and-"

"We get it Hyung," Jimin Snickered. "But I'm still his favourite uncle, right Jungie?"

Jungsoo's cheeks dusted a soft pink. "Y-Yes."

"He could never replace his Uncle Jiminie," Taehyung leaned over, pinching his son's cheeks lovingly before carefully wiping sauce from his chin. "yes, baby. You can stay with Jin and Namjoon."

"Yay!" Jungsoo beamed, wrapping his little arms around Namjoon's bicep.
