Drabble (06): You're reminded of your past

##

"Daddy, I want to be a pink wolf!"

"I want to be yellow!"

"But what if you don't want to be yellow anymore?"

"What if you don't want to be pink?"

You've opened the door by the time your daughters yell out in unison, "daddy, can we change our colors when we get older?"

You gaze at a wide-eyed Jungkook as he sits on the living room floor with Eunjoo and Hayoon on his lap, his mouth open then closing, perhaps trying to figure out how to tell his kids that, no, they can't be either of those colors; neither can they change them.

He looks back at the 2 pairs of curious eyes and smiles. "Why don't we ask Amma later, okay?"

"Okay!" They both squeal, turning to face you with a greeting and then focusing on their works again.

Jungkook stands up and helps you with the produce-filled bags and places them on the dining table.

"We were just coloring and then they decided they wanted to be pink and yellow wolves," he pouts at you. "I didn't have the heart to tell them they can't."

"Yeah, so you're gonna let Amma be the one to tell them?" You chuckle. "Back in my day, it was the 'where did we come from' question that my parents didn't wanna answer. Amusing to think that now it's this."

"It's just them, though," Jungkook sighs. "I don't think any of the other pups in this town want to have bright-colored fur or something."

"They're 3 years old, Kook," you cup his cheek. "They're being creative and imaginative and that's normal when they have parents who read them stories every night. They'll eventually learn the truth and they would've outgrown wanting to become pink or yellow or rainbow-colored wolves by then. So you don't have to worry about disappointing them, okay?"

You know that's what he's more worried about - breaking your daughters' hearts. It's the one thing he can't bear to do, and so many times you've had to talk about him learning to say no to them, otherwise they'll grow up thinking that they could get anything they want, and that's not the kind of world they live in.

"Fine," he gives in. "But I'll really have them ask Amma so I don't have to answer and see their disappointed faces."

"Oh, Kook," you hug him, wanting to comfort your mate who's made it his goal to always make your daughters laugh and smile. "You're doing great, okay? We are. I mean, look at them. At that age, Baram was constantly bullying me."

You and Jungkook laugh as you both soften at the sight of your daughters who exchanged coloring books so they can decorate and draw on what their sister just did. They like sharing things with each other, and that includes their own creations. They like complimenting and hugging each other, too.

"Anyway, was your market run good?" He asks, walking to the kitchen to get the late breakfast dishes that he prepared for all 4 of you.

"Yes," you grin. "They finally have persimmons and oranges. I got more fruits and vegetables, too. All for half the price."

"Perks of being the Beta's mate," he winks.

"Obviously, although I think we would've gotten them for free if you were the one who went to buy," you laugh.

That wouldn't be far from the truth. The whole town loves Jungkook, especially those who work at the market because he's the one who makes sure that their harvests are safe from wild animals. They claim it's just right that he doesn't pay much for it; they earn due to his protection, after all.
