3rd Person POV:

After that incident, days passed just normally. Day by day, Taehyung became an idol to Jungkook, while with Taehyung, it was totally the opposite.

Jungkook couldn't see the changes in Taehyung's behavior because he was new. But the hyungs could see the youngest Kim was always agitated and irritated nowadays. It was shocking to see him lose his calm. They knew Jungkook was the reason, though. They were grateful that at least no fiasco had happened until now.

But Jungkook was becoming desperate to see his youngest hyung. Jungkook was a naive and easy-going guy when it came to family. He always wished for brothers, and now that he was getting one, he didn't want to lose them.

While Taehyung avoided Jeon like a plague, Jungkook could see it, and he felt really hurt.

Today, Jungkook was having a free period. Thanks to God, his math teacher got typhoid at the right time. Otherwise, he would be sitting and writing the math test, which he had no idea about until last night.

Jungkook was roaming the school hallway when suddenly he saw Taehyung in a painting room. He quickly hid behind the door and observed his youngest hyung looking attentive towards a painting.

Suddenly, he saw a teacher coming towards the painting room with a little girl. She was shocked to see Taehyung there and bowed to him, and Taehyung just nodded towards her. He noticed the little girl and looked at the teacher questioningly. The teacher understood his confusion and answered.

Arin's mother: "Ah! I apologize, I forgot to introduce my daughter to you. She is Lee Arin, my 5-year-old daughter."

Taehyung nodded and said, "Hello," in a cold tone.

Arin: *Glancing up at Taehyung, then quickly looking away.*

Arin's Mother: *Chuckling softly* "I apologize, Mr. Taehyung, but she is wary of new persons, hope you don't mind."

Suddenly, a phone call broke their conversation.

Arin's mom apologized to Taehyung and answered the call. Suddenly, she looked over the call and said she would come immediately.

After cutting the call, she seemed to be in a big dilemma and finally decided.

Arin's Mother: *Approaching Taehyung respectfully.* "Mr. Taehyung, I apologize for interrupting your time, but I have a small request."

[Taehyung looks up, his expression neutral but attentive]

Taehyung: "Of course, Mrs. Park. How can I assist you?"

Arin's Mother: *Hesitant.* "It's about Arin. I have an urgent meeting, and I was wondering if you could watch over her for a while until I return. I understand if it's too much to ask..."

[Taehyung considers for a moment before nodding]

Taehyung: "I'll take care of her. Don't worry."

[Arin's mother thanks Taehyung gratefully before leaving, leaving Taehyung and Arin alone in the room. Silence fills the space until Arin becomes interested in Taehyung's painting.]

Arin: *Eyes lighting up as she looks at the painting.* "Wow! It's so pretty!"

[Taehyung smiles faintly as Arin inches closer to him, eventually standing beside him to get a better look at the painting. After a while, Arin's legs start to hurt, and she pouts.]

Arin: *Pouting sadly but remaining silent.*

[Taehyung notices and lifts Arin onto his lap while continuing to paint. After a few minutes, he finishes the painting ]

Arin: *Gazing at the painting with wide eyes.* "Is that your mommy, Mr. Taehyung?"

Taehyung: *His tone still cold, but his gaze softens slightly.* "Yes, it is."

Arin: *Looking back and forth between the painting and Taehyung.* "She's so pretty, just like you!"

Taehyung: *His expression remaining neutral.* "Thank you, Arin."

Arin: *Curiously.* "Did your mommy like to paint too?"

Taehyung: *In his usual calm voice.* "Yes, she did."

Arin: * Excitedly * "Wow! So you got your painting talent from her, right?"

Taehyung: * Nodding * "Maybe."

Arin: *Looking up at Taehyung with admiration.* "I wish I could meet your mommy someday."

Taehyung: *His tone softening slightly* "Maybe one day."

[Despite Taehyung's cold demeanor, Arin's innocent curiosity manages to bring a hint of warmth to the conversation.]

Arin: "She's so beautiful! Just like you!"

Arin: *Grinning mischievously* "Mr. Taehyung, do you think your mommy would like my drawings too?"

Taehyung: *Surprised by the question, but a small smile tugs at his lips.* "I'm sure she would, Arin."

Arin: *Eagerly.* "Can I show her my drawings someday?"

Taehyung: *His tone softening a bit more* "Of course, Arin. I think she'd love to see them."

Arin: *Giggling.* "Yay! I'll draw her the biggest rainbow ever!"

[Taehyung chuckles softly, caught off guard by Arin's infectious laughter. Despite his usual reserved demeanor, Arin's playful spirit manages to bring a genuine smile to Taehyung's face.]
