The following day, they wanted to set out for an underwater exploration, as the resort was situated at the top of largely spread beach, with the waterline stretching along just its base, down the border edges.

A massive, open swimming pool at the resort was linked to the beach by a winding waterslide.

Excited for the adventure, they made their way to the outside of the lounge, the waterslide descending from the pool was a great excitement for Ara as she insisted on diving inside.

Hobi, being the cautious one, went first into the pool. Moments later, Ara followed, laughing as her father was already in the water, waiting to help her, since she was still getting the hang of swimming.

Not long after, the resort staff arrived, delivering a floating breakfast basket directly to the pool, setting the mood for a relaxing morning.

While taehyung was taking his time to enjoy the peaceful slumber, and jungkook was in his usual shirt and trousers, had chosen not to swim today.

Instead, he was lounged on one of the sunbeds by the pool, enjoying his breakfast while basking in the sun, eyes wandering between the stunning view and the joyful sounds of Ara and Hobi's laughter echoing around him.

Watching them enjoy the moment was feeling like a quiet kind of therapy, especially knowing how much they'd all been through in the past.

He just wanted to always protect this life of tranquility and happiness for all of them, for himself, and for Taehyung. A life where the outside world didn't intrude, and their past or present no longer mattered, only the here and now.

"Kookie uncle, come! It's rweally fun!" Ara called out, preparing to take another trip down the slide into the water.

"You go ahead my princess. I'm not in the mood today." Jungkook replied with a gentle smile, lowering his shades as he waved her on.

"we'll see when Tete gets here! Hmph~" Ara pouted dramatically before letting out a delighted scream as she slipped down the waterslide again.

Her words came in a blur and jungkook couldn't really hear what she exactly mumbled.

Or maybe he did.

Well, wasn't the little kid was getting sassier day by day under Taehyung's influence. She actually was.

Jungkook exhaled before bridging his shades on nose once again and began to enjoy the scenery while having another bit from the Apple pie on his breakfast tray. Well who he was lying too? When in actual he also was waiting for tae to appear and have breakfast with them but he himself wasn't going to wake him up at all.

He was being dramatic he knew, but it was also Taehyung's influence after all.

The sun glistening on the water's surface, casting shimmering ripples across the pool, while the soft sound of waves lapping against the edge of the beach filled the air. It was a calming backdrop for easing the mind as he was indulged in quiet contemplation.

Just as he was lost in view, Taehyung himself finally ascended the stairs.

One of the servant informed him of the breakfast setup in the pool, and that was all it took to brighten Taehyung's mood even more.

His face lit up instantly, he loved swimming, even with his asthma, he was easily one of the best swimmers among them. But he used to get a dive only once in a while because of jungkook.

Now watching the poolside scene from the patio brought an even wider grin to his face. This was exactly what he had been waiting for, a morning of floating breakfast, swimming, and sunbathing. But the idea of diving straight into the beach was irresistible yet dangerous for his breathing activity.
