"careful," jungkook mutters softly, holding jiah's hand on his shoulder and the toddler with his other hand, who is sitting in front of him almost on the oil tank, too excited from the second the two-wheeler started moving. jiah gets down, smiling at jungkook and her son as she steps forward to bring him out of his seat as well.

jihun, however, seems to love the place and the motorcycle, refusing to let go of the handles and tries to accelerate it into motion. jungkook chuckles at him, glancing down at his face and pats his side, "you don't wanna get off?" he asks, getting a look from the little boy, who stares at him for a moment then taps on the tank, mumbling something along the lines of 'dwive', making jungkook laugh. "yeah? should we take another lap round the block?"

"no, it's fine." jiah intterupts, lifting her toddler up, which makes him whine loudly, clutching onto the handle with all his might. "don't do that, jihun. we're here to meet your uncles. you can go on a drive some other day, okay?" she tries to reason him, but that only makes jihun cry.

"it's alright, baby." jungkook smiles, removing the stand of his bike and starts the engine, letting jihun sit back comfortably. he notices jiah's gaze and arches up a brow, enjoying the reddish tint around her cheeks.

"are you talking to me or jihun?" she asks awkwardly.

jungkook smirks at that, twisting his wrist which makes a loud roaring sound from the rear tire of the motorcycle, forming a cloud of dust behind them, and he leans closer to jiah with a teasing smile, "i guess you'll have to figure that out yourself." with that, he accelerates and leaves jiah standing in front of restaurant alone, staring at his figure speeding away from her, although he tilts his head to glance over his shoulder, making her blink a few times and turn away quickly, touching her heating face.

with a few quick steps, she heads inside the restaurant, making her way past the front desk and a group of people, towards the vip dining hall where they usually gathered. just like the previous times, the elder males are already there, sitting on the regular table, laughing and talking, having coffee or tea as they please. a smile reaches jiah's lips, approaching them almost excitedly to see them all together after a while.

"oppa," she calls with a smile, earning glances from the three, making them break into smiles at the mere sight of her. "hi, did i keep you waiting for too long?"

"ah, no no, we arrived early." seokjin says, standing up to give jiah a hug, which she returns then proceeds to greet namjoon as well. "how are you doing, jiah? it feels like ages since we last saw you." he says, pulling out a nervous smile from the girl.

"i know, oppa. things weren't that great with me." she scratches her head awkwardly and sits down.

"where's jihun?" yoongi asks.
