The Arrangement | Taejin ✔️

Thirty-One

When Taehyung finally reached his room, he did not seem pleased. He had suspected as much ever since he went to say goodnight to the kids and discovered that Jimin was not in his bed that he would find him in his room.

Jimin, lying down next to his Appa with his hands behind his head and his small ankles crossed, turned his head to look at his dad and grinned.

"Daddy, you come to bed?" Jimin asked as he moved to give room for his father to sleep.

"Jimin, you know you don't sleep here," Taehyung whispered as Jin slept. He walked over to his side of the bed and sat down. "Come on, let's get you into your bed," he told Jimin.

Jimin shook his head, "Jimin will sleep here."

Taehyung sighed. This wasn't the first time Jimin had slept in their bed, and he blamed it on his husband, who had let it happen several times before. But since Jin was sleeping, he knew Jimin would have to go to bed.

"You can't sleep in here. Come on; I'll take you to your room. Your Appa didn't spend all that money to decorate your room so you wouldn't sleep in it."

"No. I sleep here for today."

"No! You will not sleep here today, tomorrow, or any other day. You have a room. This is not your room. It's not your bed either."

"Who said that?" Jimin stared at his father and asked.

"I said that. Come and go to your bed. Didn't your Appa tell you to listen?"

Jimin nodded, "I listen."

"Good. So come and go to your bed."

"No, I said I sleep here."

Taehyung sighed frustratedly, "Jimin, please go to your bed."

"I am in bed."

"This is not your bed. Your bed is in your room. Go to it."

"No, I sleep here today."

Taehyung closed his eyes, inhaled, and exhaled deeply, "if you go to your bed, I will let you have cookies tomorrow."

"Appa said no cookie for Jimin."

"Well, I am telling you that you can have cookies if you listen, so please listen to me!"

"Appa! Appa!"

Jimin tapped Jin on the shoulder to wake him up, and Taehyung's eyes grew bigger. "Stop waking your Appa! What's the matter with you?"

"You said I can get cookies-"

"What's wrong, Jimin?" Jin turned around and looked at his son and then at Taehyung. He was confused.

"Daddy said I can have cookies, but you said not cookies for Jimin."

"He won't go to his bed," Taehyung said as he stood up. "Can you tell him to go to sleep?"

Jin rubbed his eyes and sat up, "Jimin, baby, why aren't you going to bed? Your dad wants to sleep."

Jimin pouted and put his head on Jin's shoulder, saying, "But Jimin wants to sleep here today."

"The day has already passed; it's night, so go-"

Taehyung stopped when Jin gave him a look, and he threw up his hands in frustration. "He has a bed!"

"Let him fall asleep here." Jin gave Taehyung a smile with hopes he would agree.

"For the rest of the month, you won't get any more cookies!" As he glared at Jimin, Taehyung snapped.
