The days rolled on, and Taehyung and Jungkook found themselves increasingly immersed in their new life as parents. Jungkyung was growing fast, and with each passing day, the bond between the three of them deepened. They had fallen into a comfortable routine, one that involved juggling their roles as business owners and fathers.One afternoon, Jungkook had just returned from the office. Taehyung was sitting on the floor of their living room, playing with Jungkyung, who was attempting to crawl. The sight made Jungkook pause at the doorway, his heart swelling with affection as he watched Taehyung's gentle laughter as Jungkyung babbled excitedly.
Jungkook smiled to himself. He still couldn't quite believe how much their lives had changed in the just few months. Taehyung, once nervous about parenthood, had blossomed into an incredible father. He was patient, attentive, and endlessly loving. And as for himself, Jungkook found a new sense of purpose in being a father—a kind of fulfillment he hadn't expected.
"I see someone's practicing crawling," Jungkook said as he entered the room, taking off his coat and hanging it on the rack.
Taehyung looked up with a bright smile. "He's getting close! I think he's going to be crawling all over the place soon."
Jungkyung gurgled happily as Jungkook knelt down beside them, playfully ruffling his son's dark hair. "You're growing so fast," Jungkook said softly, a note of wonder in his voice.
"He's definitely keeping us on our toes," Taehyung chuckled, leaning against Jungkook's shoulder. "But I wouldn't trade it for anything."
Jungkook wrapped an arm around Taehyung, pressing a kiss to the top of his head. "Neither would I."

Later that evening, after putting Jisoo to bed, Jungkook and Taehyung found themselves curled up together on the couch, enjoying a rare moment of quiet. The fire crackled softly in the fireplace, casting a warm glow over the room.
Taehyung rested his head on Jungkook's chest, his fingers idly tracing circles on his husband's arm. "Do you ever think about how much things have changed?" he asked softly, his voice filled with reflection.
Jungkook hummed thoughtfully, his hand gently stroking Taehyung's back. "All the time. But it's the best kind of change, isn't it?"
Taehyung nodded. "I never imagined my life would turn out this way. But here we are, with a beautiful son and a life I never thought I'd have."
Jungkook smiled, his heart swelling with emotion. "I'm so glad we're doing this together, Tae. I couldn't have asked for a better partner."
Taehyung lifted his head slightly, looking into Jungkook's eyes. "Me neither. You've been incredible, Kook. I don't think I'd have made it this far without you."
Jungkook's eyes softened as he leaned down, capturing Taehyung's lips in a gentle kiss. "We've been incredible together. This is our life, and we've made it exactly what we wanted."
They stayed like that for a while, wrapped up in each other's arms, basking in the warmth of their love and the life they had built. Even though parenthood was exhausting and sometimes overwhelming, moments like these made it all worthwhile.

As the week went on, both Taehyung and Jungkook found themselves balancing their responsibilities with the business and taking care of Jungkyung. Fortunately, they had a strong support system with their parents always willing to help when needed.
One evening, Jungkook had just finished a long video conference call and was heading back downstairs when he found Taehyung feeding Jungkyung. The sight was as familiar as it was heartwarming, and Jungkook couldn't help but lean against the wall, watching them quietly.
"Everything okay?" Taehyung asked when he noticed Jungkook's presence, offering a soft smile.
Jungkook nodded, walking over and sitting beside them. "Yeah. Just... you two look so perfect together."
Taehyung laughed softly. "He's the real star here, not me."
Jungkook reached out, gently brushing his fingers against Jungkyung's tiny hand. "We're both lucky to have you, Tae. You make everything better."
Taehyung blushed slightly, the words warming him in a way only Jungkook could. "You say that, but you've been amazing too. I see how hard you work to give us the best life possible."
Jungkook kissed the side of Taehyung's head, his lips lingering there for a moment. "It's easy to work hard when I have everything I've ever wanted right here."
Jungkyung cooed softly, his eyes blinking sleepily as he finished his bottle. Taehyung carefully lifted him onto his shoulder, patting his back gently to burp him. Jungkook watched, his chest full of love and pride for the family they had created.
Once Jungkyung was settled, Taehyung stood up, holding him close as he swayed gently from side to side. "I think someone's ready for bed," he whispered with a smile.
Jungkook stood as well, his eyes soft as he followed Taehyung to the nursery. They took turns putting Jungkyung to bed, each one lingering a little longer to steal a few more precious moments with their son.

As they settled into bed that night, Jungkook reached out to hold Taehyung's hand, pulling him close. "You know, every day I wake up feeling grateful for this. For you. For Jungkyung."
Taehyung smiled sleepily, snuggling closer to Jungkook. "I feel the same way. We've got everything we need."
Jungkook kissed the top of Taehyung's head, whispering softly, "I love you, Tae."
Taehyung's hand squeezed Jungkook's gently. "I love you too, Kook. Always."
And as they drifted off to sleep, their hearts full of love and contentment, they knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, hand in hand, just as they always had.
