The morning after the heavy thunderstorm was serene and tranquil, much like today. A soft morning breeze carried the fresh scent of rain mixed with the earthy aroma of trees and gardens in the lavish mansion. The white curtains in his room fluttered gently in the cool wind as he lay in bed, cocooned under the sheets, lost in his dreams.

The tender touch of a soft hand massaging his scalp was enough to bring a smile to his delicate lips. His pretty almond eyes remained closed, savoring the soothing sensation and unwilling for it to stop.

The best part of his mornings.

Jungkook's lips curled into a handsome smile as he gazed at his adorable, baby-soft bread cheeks, looking even cuter in his sleep. Unable to resist, he leaned down and placed a tender kiss on tae's forehead.

"Wake up, cubsie, it's your first day of college," he whispered softly. Taehyung's sleepy smile turned into a lazy pout, followed by a cute, prolonged whine. He buried his face deeper into the pillow, trying to hide from the emerging sunlight filtering into the room.

Jungkook chuckled to himself, and with a mischievous glint in his eyes, he deliberately slowed his hand in tae's hair until it stopped completely.

It took only a couple of seconds for taehyung to emerge from under the duvet. His barely open, baby eyes, pouty lips, rosy cheeks, and sleep-tousled hair made him look utterly endearing as he sat up in bed, blinking at Jungkook and his playful smile.

"You want to be late for your first class?" Jungkook teased.

Tae responded with another long whine, and straddled Jungkook's lap.

Sitting near the headrest, Jungkook barely had time to react as Tae crossed his knees on either side of his torso and buried his face in Jungkook's neck, still cocooned in the duvet. "Just 20 minutes more~," he mumbled sleepily.

Jungkook's arms instinctively encircled Tae's waist, steadying them both to prevent a tumble off the bed. The suddenness of Tae's move made Jungkook chuckle.

"Not really," Jungkook softly warned, pulling Tae closer into his embrace, cradling him like the little baby he was. "I'm giving you five more minutes, otherwise, I'm carrying you straight to the bath like this."

"Mhm~ 15," Tae mumbled into Jungkook's neck, his muffled whine making Jungkook shake his head with a smile.

"Only 10~" Jungkook announced.

Tae lazily nodded in agreement, settling comfortably in Jungkook's lap for the extra ten minutes. Jungkook let him be, gently rocking them both while holding Tae close. His smile was as serene as a gentle breeze, reflecting the tender affection.

._._._._._._._.

"You're making me proud with each passing day," Jungkook said, tightening Tae's tie with a wide, proud smile, envisioning the future. "That day isn't far when I'll be making your tie just like this, when you'll own 'Jeon's multinational' and be the CEO that I want you to be."

He could see the passion for hard work and the upcoming responsibilities in Tae's eyes, knowing it would lead him to become the best businessman Jungkook envisioned him to be.

Tae felt shy at the proud sparkle in Jungkook's eyes but nodded softly. It wasn't just Jungkook's dream; it was theirs.

Tae was mostly positive but at the same time he was nervous. But of course the excitement to breathe in a new air that he dreamed of since he had completed his middle school and served his day and night for hard work in high school, just to be able to live this day, level of that excitement was bigger that anything else.
