"Mommy, why are we going to the hospital? Is someone sick?"

"No Jinnie, we're going to meet aunty Jennie and her lil baby."

"Oh! Then Mommy can you dress me up nicely, please?"

"Why? Your outfit looks fine, Jinnie."

"No. I want to look nice. We're finally meeting the baby."

"Sure. So what do you want to wear?"

"Hmmm...I choose this!"

"Are you happy, Jinnie?"

"Yes, Mommy. Let's go and meet the baby!"

"Aren't you going to hold my hand, Jinnie?"

"No Mommy. I am five years old now. I need to show the baby I am a big boy. I am going to take care of Aunty Jennie's baby."

"Sure Jinnie, you can show you're a big boy when you're with the baby. For now, you can hold my hand. I'll keep it a secret."

"Promise?"

"Promise, Jinnie."

Seokjin finally holds his mother's hand, as they exit their house and make their way to the hospital to meet their neighbour's newborn baby. Jennie has always been fond of Seokjin, who always comes by to keep her company especially when she's pregnant. One day, Seokjin saw Jennie speaking to herself while gently rubbing her tummy, and when he asked who was she talking to, Jennie said she's talking to the baby. Since then, Seokjin has been coming over daily to tell stories to the baby and making promises on how he's going to bring baby to all the playgrounds and Disneyland once the baby is out.

"Aunty Jennie!!! I'm here! Where's the baby?"

"Aww... Jinnie... The baby is here... Look"

"Hmmm... the baby is small... Can I touch?"

"Yes, sure. Come closer."

"What's the baby's name, Aunty Jennie?"

"Jungkook. Jeon Jungkook."

"Hi Jeon Jungkook. My name is Kim Seokjin, and I am five years old. I am going to take care of you and bring you to Disneyland."

*baby cries*

"Mommy. I think the baby doesn't like Disneyland. Where shall we bring the baby to?"

"Jinnie, the baby cried cause he's hungry. I'm sure he likes Disneyland."

"Ah! Jeon Jungkook, I have jellies. Do you want some? Mommy! He smiled!"

"Hahas. Jinnie, he smiled cause he likes you."

"Is it true? Aunty Jennie? Jeon Jungkook likes me?"

"Of course. You're adorable, Jinnie."

"Hmm... I like him too. Since I like him, I'll call him Kookie."

Two weeks later...

"Aunty Jennie. I think Kookie doesn't like me anymore."

"Why?"

"See! He's frowning at me again!"

"Hahas. He's not angry. He's trying to poop, Jinnie."

"Ahhh... Mommy always sing to me when I have tummy ache. Should I sing a song to Kookie?"

"Go on. I'm sure Kookie would appreciate it."

12 months later...

"Kookie~ Jinnie is here~"

"Ji- brrr- nii- brr"

"AUNTY JENNIEEE!!! KOOKIE CALLED MY NAME!!!"

"He did. I even recorded it for you."

"Kookie like me!!! I'm going to take care of him!"

"Ji- ba- ba- nii- niii"
