Chapter 33: The Red Flag family

The following morning, the Jeons and Parks prepared to head back home. Namjoon and Jin, Jungkook's parents, were needed at Jeon Corps to manage the company's daily operations, given their roles as the owners. With the corporation running on their expertise and leadership, they couldn't be away for too long, especially during this busy season.

The Parks, Jimin's parents, also had commitments awaiting them. As respected figures in the real estate business, Mr. and Mrs. Park had several projects in progress that required their attention. Though they wished they could stay longer, their responsibilities called them back.

Before leaving, both sets of parents took a few quiet moments with their sons and sons-in-law. Namjoon pulled Jungkook into a warm embrace, patting his back as he murmured, "Take care of yourself, son, and look after Taehyung too. We're just a call away if you need us."

Jin, ever the doting mother, gently held Taehyung's hands and said, "Thank you for making our Jungkook so happy. We're incredibly proud to have you as part of the family."

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Park shared a heartfelt moment with Jimin, who was fighting back tears at having to say goodbye. Mrs. Park squeezed his shoulders gently, saying, "Take care of yourself and the little one, Jimin-ah. We'll visit again soon."

The farewells were bittersweet, filled with promises to meet again soon. After final hugs and warm wishes, the Jeons and Parks departed, leaving a sense of warmth and family unity that lingered even after they'd left.

As the house grew quiet, Taehyung and Jungkook stood together, hands intertwined, taking in the joyful memories of the last day. They felt immensely grateful for the love surrounding them and resolved to keep the bonds strong, no matter where life would take them next.

Jimin was sitting on the couch, his face buried in his hands, shoulders shaking as he cried. Yoongi, usually so composed and quiet, was kneeling beside him, his voice soft and gentle, coaxing him through the tears. "Jimin-ah, please don't cry," Yoongi said, brushing Jimin's hair back lovingly. "You know I'd do anything for you, right? Just tell me what you need. If you cry, our little one inside might get sad too. We can't let that happen, can we?"

Jimin peeked through his fingers, still sniffling but slightly calmed by Yoongi's words. "But... it's just... I don't even know why I'm crying," he whispered, his voice small and a bit embarrassed. "I'm just feeling... everything. And then nothing makes sense!"

Yoongi smiled softly, nodding as he listened. "That's okay, Jiminie. You don't have to make sense right now," he said, taking his hand gently. "You're doing so much for our little one; you can feel however you want. I'll be right here, every second."

Jungkook watched, a warm smile tugging at his lips. He'd rarely seen Yoongi like this-so open, so devoted, and clearly handling Jimin's mood swings like an expert. It was endearing to see how Yoongi's quiet strength had shifted to become gentle support for Jimin, who was slowly smiling through his tears, touched by Yoongi's words.

Yoongi wiped the remaining tears from Jimin's cheeks. "How about this?" he suggested. "We go out, get something sweet, or anything you're craving. And tonight, I'll make your favorite dinner, hmm?"

Jimin's eyes lit up slightly, and he leaned into Yoongi's shoulder with a little nod, a smile finally breaking through. "You're the best, Yoongi," he murmured.

Yoongi chuckled, pressing a soft kiss to Jimin's forehead. "Only for you and our little one, Jiminie."

Taehyung who was sitting next to Jungkook leaned in close, his lips just brushing Jungkook's ear as he whispered, "I'll take care of you like this too, okay?" His warm breath sent a shiver down Jungkook's spine, lingering right near his sensitive spot. Taehyung knew exactly what he was doing, his eyes glinting with mischief as he watched Jungkook's cheeks flush.
