Taehyung's day always starts at six in the morning. He slams his hand onto the alarm clock, rolling across the width of his bed to do so. He hops out of bed, hair messy and drool still staining his face. Then brushes his teeth, washes his face, and makes a cup of coffee, appreciating the calm before the storm. Then, grabs his megaphone, turns it on, and takes a deep breath.

"Rise and shine kiddos!" he exclaims, walking through the halls and knocking on a total of three doors in the process. "Good morning, good morning, good morning!"

He goes around for another few minutes, knocking on doors and singing morning greetings. Groans of displeasure can be heard from inside the bedrooms.

Finally, a door opens.

"Do you really have to do that every morning?"

"Well, if it isn't my favorite daughter," Taehyung says, easily embracing his oldest child and only daughter, ruffling her hair in the process. "Morning, Jinnie."

"Morning." She yawns, and then stumbles into the bathroom.

Next to wake up is Yoongi, who arrives with his arms already outstretched for the routine morning hug from his father. Taehyung picks up the five-year old with ease.

"I want to sleep more," Yoongi says, words slurring as he rubs his eyes.

"I bet you do, buddy," Taehyung laughs. "But you have that super awesome new pair of cat socks that you wanted to show off to your teacher right?"

"Mhmm..."

Taehyung smiles endearingly at his youngest child, taking him to the master bedroom to get him changed and ready for school. On the way, he knocks on the only unopened door.

"You have fifteen more minutes, Justin. You better be brushing your teeth when I'm done with Yoongles!"

The response was a childish, rebellious groan. But, when Taehyung was done getting Yoongi ready for school, Jungkook was, in fact, in the bathroom, groggily brushing his teeth. Taehyung smiled and went to the kitchen.

Jinnie was already there, pouring three glasses of orange juice and expertly setting out plates and utensils.

"Thanks, honey." Taehyung planted a kiss on her forehead as he set Yoongi down on a chair. "I'll take it from here."

Taehyung proceeds with breakfast: he cooks rice, heats up some seaweed egg soup, and then prepares some leftover side dishes from the fridge. Just when he's finished, Justin emerges from the hallway, fully dressed and ready for school.

The kids eat breakfast as Taehyung proceeds with their school lunches. He makes them simple sandwiches and cuts up some fruit. Just for good measure, he adds a bag of chips for them and of course, a note telling them to have a great day and that he loves them.

Once the kids finish, he drops Yoongi off at kindergarten, and then swings by the primary school to drop off his third and fourth graders.

Then drives to the grocery store to restock and buy Jisoo's favorite snacks. This is followed by a trip to the mall, where he picks up Jisoo's gift for their 15th year anniversary. It's a lovely pair of flower earrings. Sparkly enough to be dazzling, but not large enough to get in the way of work while she's not doing surgeries. It's lavender-colored, reminding him of their superhero days.

He chuckles to himself.

After returning home and doing some house maintenance and cleaning, it was already time to pick up the kids.

"Alright kids, do you know what day it is?" he asks once everyone is in the car.

"It's love day!" Yoongi declares, under the impression from last year that a day with roses and heart balloons everywhere simply must be called "love day."
