Taehyung pulled the car to a smooth stop in front of the grand mansion. He removed his seatbelt and turned his head to the left, expecting Jungkook to step out. But when he saw his wife still sitting there, unmoving, he paused.

A soft chuckle escaped Taehyung's lips as he noticed the awe on Jungkook's face. His big, doe eyes were wide open, his lips slightly parted, completely mesmerized by the sight in front of him.

The mansion stood tall, exuding both elegance and warmth. The lights that lined the pathway flickered softly in the evening glow, casting a golden hue over the neatly trimmed garden.

Every kind of flower seemed to bloom there-roses, lilies, orchids-all blending into a breathtaking sea of colors.

Jungkook barely heard him. His eyes were still locked on the mansion, taking in every little detail. It was nothing like the cold, modern buildings he had seen before.

This place felt alive-cozy, welcoming, like a home straight out of a dream.

Taehyung shook his head with a fond smile before stepping out of the car. He jogged over to the passenger side and opened the door. His eyes softened when he saw the little baby , once again fast asleep in Jungkook's lap.

A crease formed between Taehyung's brows. Since morning, their baby had either been grumpy or sleeping too much. It was starting to worry him.

Carefully, he lifted the baby into his arms, holding him securely against his chest. His warmth, his tiny breaths-it was something Taehyung had never known he could cherish this much.

Jungkook finally blinked out of his trance and stretched his muscles, letting out a small sigh. He grabbed his handbag from the seat before stepping out and closing the door behind him.

They started walking towards the mansion, side by side. The moment they stepped inside, a loud, frustrated curse rang through the air-

"FUCK!"

Jungkook flinched at the sudden outburst, his grip on the handbag tightening. He turned to Taehyung, eyes wide in surprise. It was the first time he had ever heard Yoongi curse in front of him.

Taehyung sighed, already guessing what must have happened. Yoongi would never curse like that in front of his in-laws and Jimin unless something had gone really wrong.

Jungkook instinctively reached out, taking the baby from Taehyung's arms as they stepped further inside.

The living room, despite its grand architecture looked abandoned-dusty, unkempt with furniture covered in white sheets. The air smelled musty and the once-beautiful ceiling was now stained from years of neglect.

Jungkook quietly walked ahead, settling on one of the couches after dusting it off a little. Taehyung followed, taking a seat beside him.

Taehyung leaned forward slightly. "What happened, hyung?" He asked, his gaze fixed on Yoongi's worried face.
