||JUNGKOOK'S POV||

It had been two weeks since Jungkook last saw you. Between endless meetings, late nights at the office, and the pressures of his projects, he found himself sinking deeper into the work that never seemed to end. Each day was a whirlwind of decisions, deadlines, and demands, leaving little room for thoughts of anything-or anyone-else.

Yet, no matter how busy he kept himself, Jungkook couldn't completely shake the memory of your innocent, gentle presence. It was as if a fragment of that softness had slipped into his mind, occasionally surfacing to disrupt his focus with unwanted thoughts. The image of your wide eyes, that soft, almost baby-like voice of yours, lingered in the corners of his memory.

"Y/N..." he mumbled to himself one evening, shaking his head, annoyed at the distraction. You were such a contrast to everything he was used to-a world of sharpness, competition, and power. But he shrugged it off, burying himself back into his work, channeling his frustration into what he knew best: control, discipline, and an unyielding drive.

His colleagues could sense the intensity he radiated, and his assistant found herself tiptoeing around him, wary of his short temper these days. Jungkook's mood was colder than usual, his mind clouded with the weight of his responsibilities.

A few days later, he was sitting alone in his office late into the night, staring at a cityscape blanketed in darkness. The city lights twinkled against the glass as he took a sip of his coffee, trying to clear his thoughts. But all he could think about was Taehyung's warning: "She's different. She's not like anyone else. Don't hurt her."

He scoffed, wondering why that memory even surfaced, but his jaw tightened in irritation. Different... Yes, you were. But he had no time for distractions, especially not ones that left him feeling vulnerable, thrown off, and, oddly, softer than he preferred to be.

Meanwhile, in Taehyung's world, you were the light that brought warmth to every moment. Your day was a blend of giggles, playful pouts, and baby-like chatter, all under Taehyung's watchful and caring gaze.

It was a lazy Saturday morning, and Taehyung had promised you a fun day together. After breakfast, he brought you to the living room, where he had set up a cozy little fort of blankets and pillows, knowing how much you loved little cozy spots.

"Surpwise!" he announced with a grin, spreading his arms dramatically as you gasped in delight.

"Oppa! Me wuv dis! So pwetty!" you squealed, running over to explore the fort.

Taehyung chuckled, kneeling beside you. "Only the best for my little cupcake! Now, are we ready for some coloring time?" He handed you a set of crayons, smiling as you eagerly grabbed them.

"Yeshhh! Me gunna dwaw oppa!" you said excitedly, settling into the fort and beginning your drawing. Your tongue poked out in concentration as you colored, making Taehyung laugh.

He sat beside you, watching as you carefully chose colors. "So, what is this masterpiece going to be, hm?"

You looked up at him with big, serious eyes. "Dis is oppa, and... dis is me... and we havin' cupcakes togetha!"

He felt his heart swell at your words, giving your hair a little ruffle. "That's the best thing I've heard all day! My cupcake drawing cupcakes for us!" He played along, making you giggle.

You spent hours in the cozy fort with him, your innocent joy infectious as you chattered away. You showed him each finished drawing, making sure he gave each one a "stamp of approval" (a little sticker he'd hand to you with pride).
