Chapter two

"Why aren't you speaking with me Seokkie?" A little four-year-old Jungkook mumbled with a teddy bear in his hand and looked at the small figure of a two-year-old playing in his own world with figurines of an army and cars.

"He cannot speak yet my Kookie" Jungkook looked to his dad who said it to him while he was playing with the two-year-old Seokjin making him giggle at him, Jungkook huffed and sat down, his legs spreading in a V and he squeezed the teddy in his arms "He responds to everyone except me papa"

Jimin who was playing with the giggling Seokjin saw his own son making a pout, jutting out his lips on the verge of crying, Jimin cooed at the red cheeks which were puffed out with angriness and the feeling of bursting out in tears any moment "Come here my bunny" Jungkook who got picked by Jimin hid his face on the crook of his neck still holding the teddy in his arms securely.

"He doesn't wanna play with me, papa?" He mumbled softly in the neck where his face hid and Jimin slowly chuckled while patting Jungkook's head and soothing the four-year-old's back softly "Why don't you ask him Kookie?" Jimin said which made Jungkook look up from the crook of his neck and turn his head to look at Seokjin who still played in his own world.

Jungkook quickly hid his face again hearing a giggle erupt from the two-year-old sitting on the grass, Jimin chuckled slightly seeing the shy actions of his son, and patted his back in an encouraging way "Go and talk with him Kookie, papa has to go and meet taetae" Jungkook sniffed his nose a bit and looked up from the crook of Jimin's neck and blinked his eyes fast "Taetae? Uncle taetae?" He whispered to Jimin who nodded with a smile.

"Uncle taetae good, Seokkie bad" the baby Jungkook mumbled again and looked down a bit when Jimin glared at him "You don't say that about anyone kookie, be kind to everyone, go and play with him see your favorite car!" Jimin encouraged the four-year-old Jungkook and urged him to go play with the little Seokjin.

Jimin rose up from his position handing the little Jungkook over to the dry rough artificial grass and went towards Taehyung who was busy doing something in the kitchen "What are you preparing?" Jimin asked from behind startling Taehyung who was giving his utmost attention to the food he was preparing "Some vegetable stew for Seokjin"

Jimin raised his eyebrows and rubbed his little protruded belly and sighed taking support to the kitchen counter opposite the gas stove where Taehyung prepared the delicacy "Do you think he can eat it?" Taehyung put his index finger a bit on the vessel where the stew boiled deliciously giving out an aroma of the various spicy ingredients he had added in a small amount.

Taehyun scooped some stew out of the vessel and licked it from his finger, smacking his lips at the spicy flavor it got, and looked back to Jimin who was patiently waiting for an answer "He would love it, Seokjin goes after Namjoon in eating" Jimin chuckled as he heard the slight jealousy dripping in his friends voice "You are jealous he loves spicy food?"

Taehyung frowned and the expanse of his eyebrows lessened as he glared at the pregnant male in front of me "You know it looks like you have more mood swings than I do" Taehyung sighed at Jimin's words and went towards him, Taehyung bent a little and kissed Jimin's three-month-old belly "You are showing" Taehyung whispered seeing the little pooch.

"I guess it is a boy again"

"Papa instincts?" Taehyung said smiling and Jimin nodded with a wide smile, "What will you name him or her?" Jimin rubbed his hand over his belly and pouted "I didn't think about it, Hoseok has been sending me several baby names, I didn't open the phone henceforth"

Taehyun chuckled at his best friend's words and got up to turn off the stove "What do you think about another baby?" Taehyung turned around with his finger still inside his mouth checking the temperature of the stew for the two-year-old Seokjin and raised his eyebrow "I don't know about it, Seokjin is still not speaking when he should be able to speak, I am worrying enough for him"

It was true even though little Seokjin was two years old, he still cannot speak anything, nothing, Jimin nodded understanding his friend's worry, he straightened himself away from the counter and patted Taehyung's back "Don't worry he will speak soon"

Taehyung sighed his eyebrows creasing in anxiousness and worry for his son "Seokjin isn't even blabbering like Jungkook was doing, he does not even cry when he wants things, I cannot think of what to do with him"

"Not every baby is the same Taehyung, he needs time, give him time, he will be normal, don't worry" Taehyung nodded easing into the hug which Jimin provided him with just after his statement.

Jungkook peeked his eyes at Seokjin who was gurgling and laughing in his own world, he did not care that the four-year-old Jungkook sat beside him, Jungkook huffed and puffed his cheeks, he pushed the car with which he was playing and it hit Seokjin's leg.

Seokjin looked at Jungkook's face and put his fist inside his mouth seeing how the older four-year-old Jungkook was on the verge of a big breakthrough with his cries.

Seokjin smiled a toothless smile at Jungkook who looked away from Seokjin, Seokjin's smile lowered and his frown increased as he made a sound to put attention to him but Jungkook did not want to.

Seokjin put his hands front and crawled towards Jungkook when he saw how the older cried and a tear slipped from Jungkook's doe eyes, Seokjin held Jungkook's hands and stood a little on his small feet to come in height with Jungkook and rubbed his small hands over Jungkook's wet cheeks as Jungkook huffed and sobbed because of Seokjin who did not want to play with him.

"Ko-koo" Seokjin mumbled and muttered with a lot of effort rubbing his small hands over Jungkook's face but Jungkook stopped crying, he forgot about crying and he heard Seokjin calling him 'Koo'.

"Can you tell that again Seokjin?" Jungkook muttered in a stutter and held Seokjin for him to steady on his steps "Koo?" Seokjin mumbled again moving his head to the right and looking at Jungkook smiling wide.

Jungkook screamed "Papa! Uncle taetae!" hearing Jungkook's scream Taehyung and Jimin rushed out in a hurry thinking something worse had happened, but they saw Seokjin holding Jungkook's hand and standing in front of Jungkook with not much expression but Jungkook was crying and in contrast, his lips were stretched in a big smile.

Taehyung picked up Seokjin who whined because he didn't want to be separated from Jungkook, so he inclined from Taehyung's hold and stretched his hand towards Jungkook who was smiling, Jimin picked Jungkook and rubbed the tear streaks which were present along with the smile "What happened Kook? Why are you smiling like that?"

Jungkook pointed his small stubbed fingers to Seokjin who was frowning and trying his best and get out of Taehyung's hold and go to Jungkook "He spoke and told me koo!"

Taehyung was shocked hearing this and looked at Seokjin who was still trying his best to get out and made an angry sound when he turned around and now he saw Taehyung's shocked face "Speak Seokjin, tell me who I am? Tell me who Jungkook is?"

"Koo?" Seokji muttered shortly and swayed his head to the left looking cutely at Taehyung "P-pa" Seokjin mumbled gained swaying his head to the right and looked intently at Taehyung who had tears brimming in his eyes "Jimin he called me papa"

Hearing Taehyung's excited voice Jimin smiled along with Jungkook hearing his name come out of Seokjin's mouth again "I said to give him some time" Taehyung nodded as he kissed Seokjin's head, forehead, and everywhere on his face with joy, with immense joy.
