The Arrangement | Taejin ✔️

Sixty-One

"Here, please take it," Jungkook said, pushing forward the small pillow he held that the ring for his dad was resting on.

Taehyung looked at his son with disbelief. However, before he could say anything, Yoongi stepped in and grabbed Jungkook, pulling him towards himself from behind Taehyung.

"It is not yet time to give your dad that."

"I am feeling tired. I want to take a seat." Jungkook expressed his frustration with a pout on his face. He had been standing, and he didn't enjoy it. Furthermore, he was promised milk and snacks but has not received any for some time.

Yoongi let out a sigh, understanding why Jungkook was causing a commotion. Reaching into his suit jacket pocket, he retrieved a Ziploc bag containing a milk box. He removed it from the bag and used the attached straw to puncture the top. Then, he handed it to Jungkook.

Jungkook happily handed the pillow with the ring to Yoongi while taking his milk box. He quietly thanked Yoongi and leaned against his leg, enjoying his milk.

As Jimin stood next to Hoseok, he observed the scene unfolding before them. Looking up at Hoseok, he couldn't help but ask, "Can I have some cookies now?"

"No, sweetheart, you will get it after the wedding."

"When is it after the wedding? Why is my appa not here yet?"

"He will arrive shortly; your dad has gone to get him." Hoseok looked towards the aisle where Taehyung had disappeared as he spoke to Jimin.

"I don't like the wedding," Jimin mumbled as he looked down at the ring he held on top of the small pillow in his hand. "I also don't like this ring."

Hoseok sighed and asked, "Jimin, do you recall your promise to your appa?"

Jimin nodded, "Yes, I said Jimin would be nice and a good boy today."

"Okay, well, stop saying not-so-nice things."

"What am I saying that's not nice?"

"There will be a big cake at the end of the wedding." Hoseok attempted to shift the topic, fully aware that he would not come out victorious in an argument with Jimin.

"Why at the end? I want to see the cake now."

"Jimin, do I need to tell your appa you were being mean?"

Jimin shrugged, "I don't know, do you?" he questioned as he looked up at Hoseok.

Taehyung's face lit up with a cheerful smile as he caught sight of his little princess, adorned in a beautiful dress and clutching a delicate flower basket in her tiny hand.

"Daddy," with her rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes, she confidently declares, "I am pretty." Taeri twirled with a joyful smile, delighting her father with her elegant spin.

"Yes, you are! The prettiest princess there ever was."

"Queen."

Taehyung initially felt confused but quickly recollected and responded, "As you grow older, you will eventually become a queen. At this moment, however, you are still a princess. Princesses are more adorable."

"Queen," Taeri responded with a pout.

"I am sorry, you are right. You are a Queen, but only today, and don't ask your brothers to bow to you. Your appa does not like it when you do that." Taehyung said as he quickly tried to remind his daughter.

While he didn't personally object to her desire to be a queen, it was evident that Jin was not particularly fond of it. This was because Taeri had begun asserting her authority over her brothers by making requests and issuing commands, firmly convinced that she held the position of queen within their household.
