Silly

-Jeon Mansion-

Walking in after a guard, Jimin utters, "Thank you. You can leave them here. I'll take care of it."

"Yes, Sir." The guard places the suitcases down and exits out of the entrance main hall.

The house appears quiet, but then again, in this huge house, only a few people live here.

Jimin carries his suitcase up the stairs to the room where he wakes up in the morning. He returns downstairs to get Minkook's suitcase; not knowing where Minkook's room is, he brings it to the same room as his suitcase.

Inside the small bedroom, he glances around in wonder until his eyes land on the rectangular window.

He gazes at the evening sky, admiring its translucent colors. At this time of day, Jungkook should already be off work. If he has nothing else to attend, he should arrive home by now. However, something inside Jimin says Jungkook won't be home until much later tonight, and the reason is obvious. He doesn't want to see me.

Jimin goes downstairs, wandering through the floor looking for his little ball of delight. 

Following the noises, he strolls into a living area with a large window, showing another beautiful view of the evening outside. On a large, comfy sofa, Minkook sits there with his Grandma.

"Jiminie!" the little one greets excitedly. "Oops! Minkook mean Otousan!" He corrects himself while smiling cheekily, flaunting his adorable eye-smile. His father, in return, wonders if he will really stick with that silliness.

"Halmeoni is telling me a story about Papa. Do you want to listen?"

"Actually, Minkook should go with Jimin. Halmeoni is old. I need to rest after following Minkook around," Madam Moon says with an affectionate gaze.

"Halmeoni is tired?" Minkook looks up.

"Mnn. Halmeoni will tell Minkook the story later, alright?"

"But Minkook still wa—"

"Minkook-ah, say Thank You to Halmeoni," Jimin cuts in.

Compliant to his father's words, the four-year-old bows his head courteously to his Grandma. "Thank you, Halmeoni."

"You're welcome, dear." She pats his beanie-head.

"Thank You, Madam Moon," Jimin expresses his gratitude. "Minkook, let's go make something together in the kitchen."

Minkook hops off the sofa and scurries like a penguin to his father.

"Madam Moon, I'm thinking of making something for dinner, would you like to have dinner with us?"

"Thank you, but I'm all good." She returns a weary smile.

Jimin takes Minkook into the kitchen. The bigger puts together a quick meal, whereas the smaller assists with picking up the things he can and hands them to his father as directed.

After a short meal together, Minkook makes sure to save some for his Papa. He oversees Jimin putting a bowl together and putting it inside the fridge.

Soon, a maid enters the kitchen and informs that Jungkook is currently on the line of the home phone, waiting to talk to Minkook.

Jimin takes the little one to the main entrance hall where one of the home phones is. It is as he has expected, Jungkook calls, telling Minkook that he won't be home until later tonight.

The maids insist they will clean up the table, but Jimin wins with his words. He wants Minkook to clean up after himself. With no other choice, the little mister obediently does the chores his father assigns him.
