As Taehyung sleeps in his arms, Jungkook works on the outfit he is designing for the man he loves. While he concentrates on the design, he gently threads his fingers through Taehyung's soft hair.

By the time Taehyung stirs awake, he hears soft music playing in the background and Jungkook cooking. He sits up and happily smiles as he looks around the bedroom. Before he gets out of bed, Jungkook enters the room with a cup of juice in his hands.

"Good morning, Little Bird." Jungkook smiles when he sees Taehyung sleepily smiling at him.

"Good morning, Jungkookie." Taehyung beams and motions Jungkook to hurry.

"Did you sleep well?" Jungkook asks as he hands Taehyung the glass of juice and sits next to him on the bed.

"I did. Did you?" Taehyung hums as he enjoys the juice.

"I did. Sleeping next to you is a beautiful dream." Jungkook blushes and quickly averts his gaze.

"I agree." Taehyung softly smiles when he sees the blush lighting up Jungkook's cheeks. "What is for breakfast?"

"Uhm, I made egg and tomatoes to go with rice," Jungkook responds and gets up, reaching his hand out to Taehyung.

"That sounds delicious." Taehyung smiles and grabs Jungkook's hand, letting Jungkook pull him to the little table. With a happy coo, Taehyung sits down at the table and licks his lips as he takes a deep breath of the smell of the delicious food.

Jungkook watches fondly as Taehyung happily digs into the food. As they eat, Jungkook's phone rings. He frowns when he sees the unknown caller ID.

"Who is it?" Taehyung asks when he sees Jungkook's frown.

"I'm not sure," Jungkook mutters and rejects the call.

After rejecting the call, the same person calls him again. Jungkook frowns and blocks the unknown number. When Jungkook's phone rings again from another unknown number, Taehyung grabs his phone and answers it.

"Hello? Who is this?" Taehyung asks as he softly smiles at Jungkook.

"Jungkook, it's your Appa." Taehyung pauses when he hears the man's response. 

"Who is it?" Jungkook asks when he sees the frown on Taehyung's face.

Taehyung quickly mutes the call. "Jungkookie, he says that he's your father." He softly responds.

"My father? Why would he be calling me? How did he even get my number? He left me when I was in middle school." Jungkook mutters with a frown as pain flashes through his eyes.

"That's all that I needed to know." Taehyung hums and unmutes the call. "I don't want to speak to you. Please do not call me again."

"Wait! Can we meet up just once? I really miss you." The man desperately cries out.

"I am changing my number. Never contact me again." Taehyung hangs up the call and blocks the number. "We will get you a new phone number today."

"His debt collectors have tried to find me before." Jungkook sighs and picks at his food. "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong." Taehyung reaches over the table and gently holds Jungkook's clenched hand. "I'm here for you." He smiles and gently squeezes Jungkook's hand. "Now, eat your food. You made really yummy food."

Jungkook smiles and intertwines their fingers as Taehyung's presence comforts him. He wants to tell Taehyung how much he loves him, but he holds his tongue to save his confession for a special occasion.
