"Stay with me...forever"

For a moment everything stopped for Jungkook. He couldn't believe his own ears. But then Sarang's constant squealing noise brought him back to reality. Slowly the realisation hit him that he mist have been dreaming of Taehyung saying those words. There was no way whatever he heard was actually true. Yes! It must have been his imagination only!

"Huh?.."

Not knowing what to answer to something he didn't hear properly, a confused Jungkook only blinked his eyes.

Jungkook's expression made Taehyung understand the gravity of his own words. He must have made Jungkook so uncomfortable! Shame! Why did he even do that?!

But...

There was now no going back...!

But.. what if Jungkook misunderstood him..? What if he thought Taehyung was only helping him with a motif! Would he start hating him then..!?

All these questions surrounded Taehyung's mind until until Jungkook called him.

"Hyung?.."

Jungkook's eyes kept searching for clarity in Taehyung's. So, Taehyung, having understood that, decided to clear it out.

"A-ap-pa..?"

Just right at that moment, Sarang decided to interrupt Taehyung before he could even start saying something. Jungkook's attention diverted to his daughter looking at him with wide doe questioning eyes because of the lack of attention she was getting from her father.

Taehyung might or might not have thanked Sarang for doing so. Because even he was not sure what he would tell.

Jungkook smiled at Sarang's tilted head, she was looking so cute! How could he not?!

"Yes love?"

Hearing the word love, Sarang broke out into a toothy smile. She knew she was being called by her appa and somehow it made her so happy that she started clapping.

Neither Jungkook nor Taehyung could actually comprehend the reason of her happiness but little Sarang knew one thing that as long as her appa was smiling at her, there was no need to worry about anything. He wouldn't let her go this time.

She then slowly turned to look at Taehyung who was smiling back at her through his glasses.

"D-da..da!"

Sarang broke into another fit of laughter pointing her sleek, little fingers at Taehyung as if showing her appa that he was also there with them.

But she was unable to understand the situation she caused! Jungkook's eyes widened hearing her words. What did she just call Taehyung? What happened to him? Why was he hearing words that weren't being spoken?! Or were those..

He looked at Taehyung to apologise immediately, "Um s-she..". His words got stuck in his throat. How would he justify his daughter's words?! How did she even learn this!

"It's alright..I..um taught her to call me..uh Tata.. but since T is difficult to pronounce for children, she made it D.."

Taehyung smiled awkwardly, hoping it wouldn't cause any trouble..

While Jungkook felt like his entire system would go haywire. This was definitely a new side of Taehyung. He never knew Taehyung could be a bit un-serious or childlike. He knew him to be more of distant and professional and just social when needed but definitely a lot helpful. This made Jungkook understand that Taehyung had several layers of personality hidden underneath that no one including himself decided to explore or discover.
