**The Next Day in the Kim Mansion**

The morning sun filtered through the mansion’s grand windows, casting a soft glow over the polished floors. In Jin’s room, the eldest Kim stirred, rubbing sleep from his eyes.

Jin :- “Time to start the day,” (he mumbled, stretching, his morning routine a quiet ritual—brush, shower, a quick glance in the mirror before heading downstairs.)

Jin :- “Coffee, my love,” (he sighed, brewing a cup, the rich aroma grounding him as he settled on the couch, newspaper in hand, scanning headlines with a calm focus.)

J-Hope :- “Morning, hyung,” (he chirped, bounding in, his energy a spark in the quiet room.)

J-Hope :- “Coffee smells good,” (he grinned, heading to the kitchen to grab a cup, returning to plop beside Jin, his chatter filling the air.)

One by one, the brothers trickled in—Suga yawning, Jimin humming, Namjoon with a book tucked under his arm—each claiming a spot near Jin, their voices weaving a morning melody. But two were missing, still wrapped in the cocoon of sleep upstairs.

**Time Skip to 7 AM**

Jin :- “Jimin, go wake Kookie,” (he said, folding the newspaper, his tone gentle but firm.)

Jin :- “Joon, check if Tae’s up.” (His eyes flickered with a quiet worry, unspoken but heavy.)

Jimin & Namjoon :- “Got it, hyung,” (they said in unison, heading upstairs, their steps echoing in the grand hallway.)

**In Jungkook’s Room**

Jimin :- “Knew this brat wouldn’t be up,” (he sighed, shaking his head as he entered, spotting Jungkook buried under a pile of blankets.)

Jimin :- “Kook, baby, wake up!” (he called, nudging the bundle softly, a fond smile tugging his lips.)

Jungkook :- “Five more minutes, hyung,” (he mumbled, voice muffled, refusing to budge, a pout forming in his sleep.)

Jimin :- “Nope, up now, or you’ll be late, Kook,” (he said, pulling the blanket back, his tone teasing but insistent.)

Jungkook :- “Hyung, pleeease, five minutes, I’ll wake up, promise,” (he whined, curling tighter, eyes still shut.)

Jimin :- “Jungkook, get up, or it won’t end well,” (he said, voice stern, arms crossed, though his eyes sparkled with amusement.)

Jungkook :- “Kook’s up, why so angry, huh?” (he grumbled, sitting up, rubbing his eyes like a sleepy bunny. Jimin chuckled at the sight, heart melting.)

Jimin :- “Fresh up, be downstairs in twenty,” (he said, ruffling Jungkook’s hair. Jungkook nodded, stumbling to the bathroom as Jimin headed back down.)

**In Taehyung’s Room**

Hobi pushed the door open, the room dim, Taehyung already awake, sitting at his desk, laptop open, his focus razor-sharp. 

Taehyung :- “Need something, hyung?” (he asked, not looking up, voice cold as a winter dawn, cutting through the air.)

J-Hope :- “Just checking if you’re up,” (he said, voice soft, a forced smile hiding the ache in his chest.)

Taehyung :- “I told you, no need for that. I know my responsibilities,” (he said, voice flat, eyes still on the screen, a wall between them.)

J-Hope :- “Alright, fresh up and come down quick, you’re gonna be late,” (he said, forcing cheer, though his heart bled with every cold word. He turned, leaving as Taehyung rose for the bathroom.)
