STAY for a while (Taekook)

💜Chapter-20💜

Rays of past.

🍀🍀🍀🍀

In a sleek, modern office, the three Kim brothers sat together, their expressions serious as they discussed an upcoming project. The years had solidified the Kim name as a dominant force in the business world, with their influence stretching far and wide. Their success had made them both powerful and revered.

"Hyung, I think it would be great if we look into this further," Joon suggested.

"Yes, but I want our focus on the current project first. We need to complete it before moving on to the next," Yoongi replied.

Joon nodded in agreement. "Hmm."

Then, Yoongi turned to Tae. "I was thinking about the automobile project. I want it under Tia’s name," he added with a smile.

Tae’s expression softened into a smile as well. "As you wish, hyung."

Joon grinned. "So, our princess will be one of the richest baby girl in the world."

The three brothers shared a moment of pride and joy at the thought.  "Well, tonight's party needs to be perfect. Some important people are attending, and we all know how easily she falls ill," Yoongi said, his voice taking on a more serious tone.

Tae’s expression fallen , a hint of sadness clouding his features. Concerned,joon said glanced at him. "Bear,"  trying to get his attention.

Tae turned to him with a faint smile. "Nothing, hyung, just thinking about why she gets sick so often," he said, his voice calm yet tinged with worry. His fatherly instincts always made him anxious for his 'world.'

"She’ll be alright," Joon reassured him. Tae nodded in response, but the worry lingered.

"One more thing," Yoongi added, drawing the attention of both brothers. "I spoke to Hobi; he’s coming."

A smile spread across Yoongi’s face as he thought of their beloved brother. However, the news seemed to affect Tae differently. His expression turned blank, his eyes revealing a subtle glint of unease.

Yoongi noticed the change and exchanged a concerned glance with Joon, who was also staring at Tae. "Tae," Joon called softly. "Tae…"

Tae snapped out of his thoughts. "Hmm, are you okay?" Joon asked.

"Sorry?" Tae replied, slightly distracted.

"I asked if you’re okay," Joon repeated, his voice full of concern.

"Yes… Yes, hyung, I’m fine," Tae answered, but his brothers weren’t convinced.

"Are you sure?" Yoongi pressed, his eyes focused on their baby brother.

Tae forced a smile. "Yes, hyung, I’m good."

The two older brothers exchanged a look of concern, but before they could say anything more, Tae’s phone rang, breaking the tension. He answered it, his voice immediately softening. "Hello?"

"Appa…"

Tae’s smile returned, full of warmth. "Yes, my world," he replied, his voice tender.

Both Yoongi and Joon couldn’t help but smile, knowing exactly who was on the other end of the line.

"Okay, I will," Tae said into the phone. "And what else? Did you drink your milk?

Very good. My princess, I’ll be there soon."

After a few more affectionate words, he ended the call with a loving, "Appa loves you a lot, my tulip." His face was lit up with a beautiful smile.

"What was she asking?" Yoongi inquired, amused.
