The golden morning light spilled into the room, soft and warm, touching everything with a dreamy glow. The white curtains swayed gently with the breeze, casting shifting patterns on the wooden floor.

The air smelled like fresh soap and baby lotion, wrapping the space in a cozy warmth.

Taehyung sat on the bed, his back straight, his fingers working carefully as he tried to dress their little baby.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his lips pressing together in concentration.

The baby, freshly out of his bath, lay wrapped in a fluffy towel, his tiny hands waving excitedly in the air.

Jungkook stood nearby, his arms crossed, watching. A small-amused smile played on his lips. It was rare to see Taehyung struggle with anything. He was always so sure, so confident. But now, with their little one squirming and kicking in excitement, he looked adorably lost.

"You're taking too long," Jungkook teased, tilting his head. "Our baby might catch a cold before you even get that onesie on."

Taehyung let out a small huff, his fingers still fumbling with the tiny buttons. "It's not as easy as it looks, Jungkookie. He won’t stay still."

Jungkook chuckled, stepping closer. He knelt beside them, his hands reaching out. "Here. Let me do it."

But Taehyung didn't move away. Instead, Jungkook's hands covered his, guiding his fingers gently. The warmth of Jungkook's touch made Taehyung pause.

His heart gave a strange little flutter, something soft and unfamiliar curling in his chest.

The baby let out a happy gurgle, his brown eyes twinkling up at them. He was now dressed in his soft pink sweater, his chubby arms snug inside the sleeves.

Jungkook adjusted the beanie slightly, his fingers brushing against the baby’s soft hair. "There. Now he looks perfect" He said with a proud smile.

Taehyung didn't respond. He was still looking at Jungkook, his mind replaying the way Jungkook's hands had fit over his.

How gentle he was. How natural it felt.

Jungkook, unaware of the way Taehyung was staring, lifted the baby into his arms. "You're the cutest, aren’t you?" He cooed, pressing a soft kiss to the baby's round cheek.

The baby giggled, grabbing at Jungkook's hoodie with tiny fingers.

Taehyung swallowed. His chest felt full, almost heavy... but not in a bad way. It was... warm.

Jungkook turned to him, his smile still there but softer now. "You did well, Taehyungie . Dressing a baby isn't easy, but you did a good job."

Taehyung blinked. His lips parted slightly... as if to say something, but no words came out.
