" Appa ?" Jungkook whispered confusely looking at the man infront .

Meanwhile , Hanuel darted towards Taehyung happily , wrapping his tiny hand around around Taehyung in a tight hug .Taehyung swept him up , cradling him in his arms, and gazed at him with warm concern.

Taehyung held Haneul close. "What's wrong, littleone? Why so grumpy"

Haneul's face scrunched up in a scowl, his finger wagging accusingly at Jungkook. "That bad bunny over there! He was fighting with someone, and I told him to stop, but he yelled at me instead!"

" Wait bunny hyung ? Hey kiddo I'm not a bunny ok ! "  Jungkook scoffed . He was shocked to hear such a nickname .

Taehyung looked at Jungkook. "What happened boy ?"

Jungkook's expression was defensive. " He was poking his nose in my business. I told him to back off, but he wouldn't listen."

Haneul chimed in, "And you yelled at me when I tried to stop you!"

Taehyung's gaze turned cold. "Boy , you shouldn't have yelled at Haneul. He is right , Apologize."

Jungkook took a deep breath, his eyes softening. "Haneul, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. I was just frustrated with Minsoo."

Haneul's scowl slowly faded, replaced by a small pout. "Okay... But don't yell at me again. I am forgiving you because of my appa"

Moving his gaze from Jungkook , Taehyung spoke to Hanuel in a soft voice "Hanuel , dad have ome work at office okay ? Today Joonie hyung will take care of you . " To this Hanuel being a obedient boy, he nodded happily .

Haneul's parting shot was laced with sass, "Bye, Bunny Hyung! Don't get into trouble without me!"

Jungkook's eyes rolled heavenward, his smile tinged with exasperation. "I'll try, little pest. But no promises."

Taehyung's gaze flicked between the two, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes before he turned to leave, Haneul's tiny form bouncing on his shoulders. As they walked away, Haneul's voice drifted back, "Dada, why is Bunny Hyung always so grumpy? Does he need a nap?"

Jungkook's retort was swift, "I'm not grumpy, I'm just allergic to annoying little princes!".

On this , Taehyung's chuckle was low and soothing, "That's enough, you two. No more bickering."

Jungkook's gaze lingered on the disappearing figures of Taehyung and Haneul, their silhouettes slowly consumed by the warm sunlight. His mind was a maze of thoughts, trying to place the familiar face that had sparked a sense of déjà vu. Suddenly, like a puzzle piece clicking into place, it hit him - Kim Taehyung, the enigmatic CEO of Vante. But Jungkook's confusion deepened; he was certain that Taehyung's private life was a closely guarded secret, with no rumors or whispers of a child or marriage. The inconsistency nagged at his mind, refusing to let go.
