Sugar Daddy [Taekook] ✓

Chapter 17

Friday arrived, and the Kim estate was bustling with activity. Maids and butlers are running around to prepare dishes and decorate the living room, making sure the spaces were filled with balloons, while the birthday boy, Jungkook, was busy fixing his outfit in front of the mirror.

He was wearing a white, sheer blouse with ruffled details along the collar and chest, matching it with a pair of black slacks. He had a shy smile on his face when he reminded himself that he's meeting Taehyung later.

It's been a few days since the 'my heart' thing happens, and Jungkook didn't continue the conversation after sending Taehyung a 'feeling embarrassed' gif. Right now when he thinks back the message, his heart will still flutter in happiness.

At the same time, his phone buzzed and he quickly check it, lips curving up more when he read the message from Taehyung.

Taehyung:
I will be here in 30 minutes, birthday boy.

Jungkook:
Oki!

Just when Jungkook put his phone down, he heard a knock on his door, and Seokjin came inside casually.

"Baby, Yugyeom is here, and someone you miss a lot is back too." Seokjin said, leaning against the doorframe, scanning Jungkook from head to toes, "Tsk tsk, my baby looks so pretty."

"Of course!" Jungkook replied proudly, flipping his imaginary hair, ended up giggling along with his father. "Who is here by the way?" He asked.

"Your favourite Yoongi hyung."

Jungkook's eyes widened up in surprise. "Yoongi hyungie?! He's back? I thought appa said he needs to stay in Paris until the end of the month?"

"Well, because it's someone's birthday today~" Seokjin teased, "He's downstairs now, with Yugyeom."

Jungkook didn't wait for a second before running past Seokjin, his ruffled blouse fluttering as he dashed downstairs. The moment he reached the living room, his eyes quickly searched until they landed on a familiar figure who was leaning casually against the wall, dressed in a simple but stylish black turtleneck, paired with grey slacks.

"Yoongi hyungie!" Jungkook rushed towards his brother like a mini rocket, while the older man catch him in his arms.

"Happy birthday, baby." Yoongi said, hand raised up to ruffle Jungkook's hair and hugged his little brother tightly.

Jungkook pulled back, beaming at Yoongi, "Appa said you will stay in Paris forever because you are getting married there. Where's my brother in law?" He teased, even though last time Namjoon said he lied to Jungkook.

Yoongi raised an eyebrow, staring at his father who stood behind Jungkook, while the older man just shrugged.

"I did find someone I like there." Yoongi said, "He's not here today. But he bought you a gift." He took out a small velvet box from his pocket, putting it in Jungkook's palm.

Jungkook's eyes lit up in surprise. "Thank you so much! I love him already!" He claimed.

"What about me?"

Jungkook turned around, finding Yugyeom, who was sitting on the couch nearby, rolled his eyes playfully. "You totally forgot about me, best friend."

Jungkook laughed, approached Yugyeom and hugged the sulking boy. "I didn't. Where's my gift?" He asked, again laughed when his friend shot him a glare. He immediately shows Yugyeom his famous puppy eyes, "I'm sorry..."

Yugyeom let out a small huff. "Anyway, you look so nice today, all dressed up. Your sugar baby is coming?" He whispered the last question, making sure it's only audible for the boy.

Jungkook's cheeks flushed slightly, and he glanced away, his fingers fiddling with the ruffles on his blouse. "Yes..."

Yugyeom smirked knowingly, nudging Jungkook's arm playfully, "I knew it. That explains why you look extra pretty today." He teased, leaning back against the couch.

Jungkook gave him a small shove, "I'm always pretty." He mumbled, glancing around to make sure no one else heard their conversation. Seokjin and Yoongi were distracted, engaged in their own conversation and Namjoon was busy checking his phone.

Before Jungkook can say anything further, Seokjin called out, "Birthday boy, it's time to cut the cake and make a wish~"

Jungkook jumped up excitedly, rushing to the dining room. A strawberry cake with a '19' candle in the middle was placed on the table, waiting for Jungkook to blow it off and make a wish.

He sat in front of the cake, with his parents, brother and his best friend surrounded him. They sang the birthday song for him and as soon as the song finished, Jungkook closed his eyes and make a wish.

I wish eomma, appa, hyungie, Gyeomie, and Taehyungie will live a happy life with me.

Then he blew the candle, clapping his hands. A wide smile decorated on top of his face as he spoke to Seokjin who's holding a knife, ready to cut the cake, "I want the biggest slice, eomma!"

"Alright alright, big baby." Seokjin replied with a defeated smile.

As Seokjin was distributing the cake, Jungkook felt a buzz in his pocket. He quickly fished out his phone, smiling as he reminded himself Taehyung will be here soon. But when he read the message, his face fell.

Taehyung:
Sorry, sweetheart. I wasn't able to attend your birthday party. Something urgent came up.
