It was a disaster. Well wayyy better than how a disaster is supposed to be. At some point, Nari became quite verbal with her strong urge to stay together with her brother and niece. While on the other hand, Taehyung was passive aggressively trying to give reasons why should Jungkook (with Sarang) stay with him for now.

Well of course, all Jungkook's belongings were in Taehyung's apartment being the biggest reason and it was quite hurdle to shift everything so quickly. Taehyung tried to sound as rational as possible. But his possessiveness was dripping through his act occasionally. He even offered to Nari and their father to shift into his apartment but that was soon refused by Nari. Call him childish. Mindless. Whatever you want. He wasn't letting Jungkook go without a fight, even if the opponent was his family.

But one thing should be kept in mind that they were enjoying each part of this moment. It was more like a playful gesture to have fun. Jungkook seemed to be blushing at first but when it went further he looked so done with this two, joining his father in the kitchen with Sarang still attached to his hip.

"Kookie...are you... sure about him?"

His father's question made him come back to reality from his thoughts. At first he was a bit confused with the question but then it clicked.

"It's.. it's nothing like that appa.. we're just-"

Friends?

Were they just friends?

"-friends"

Jungkook's heart seemed to twist at the thought of them being just friends. But it was better than being nothing and even better than being something more, ruining their friendship.

"He likes you"

His father's words made him blush but he tried to hide that by turning to Sarang and feeding her the formula his father gave.

"We're supposed like friends and family anyway appa"

"You know what I mean Kookie"

Jungkook didn't know what to feel about it. The fact that his father was approving of a relationship that wasn't even legal in the country was indeed came as a shock to him.

He was thankful for his family being far liberal than the other people could ever be including the so-called educated ones too.

"It's not possible. He's got..a reputation to maintain. I can't just ruin it like that..."

He felt guilty. No, not for thinking to be with Taehyung but rather to diminish his value. He promised himself no matter what happens he would never let himself lower his worth, there was no reason for it!

But so unfortunate that it was becoming harder for him to stick to his own words.

"You like him too"

Jungkook suddenly turned to look at his father to see him gently smiling at him.

"Take your time but don't destroy the wonder of love...choose your freedom to be what you want, to choose what your heart desire... remember I'm always with you Kookie.. but don't sacrifice your happiness this time..I know you'll do great.."

Sarang's soft hand touched his cheek to let him know that she was done eating. Jungkook kissed her hand and wiped her mouth. She put her head in the crook of his neck and held onto his nape with both of her hands. It was an indication that she was sleepy so, Jungkook started patting her back.

"I don't know what to do appa...I can't leave Sarang..never even in my worst nightmare..."

"He didn't look surprised.. I'm assuming he knew about her?"
