Taehyung went to his bedroom and sat on his bed. He took his phone and messaged Jungkook: "Hi love, I'm home now. Dad didn't expect a thing."

Jungkook responded, "That's a relief, babe. Please take care of yourself for me."

Taehyung chuckled and responded, "Dad says tomorrow we're going to church. Can we meet there?"

Jungkook replied, "I will come. I want to see my father-in-law, how he looks."

Taehyung sent a heart emoji, followed by, "Don't forget, when we meet at church, we need to pretend that we don't know each other. Is that okay with you?"

Jungkook replied, "I will do anything to keep you safe."

Suddenly Jin shouted from downstairs, "Taehyung, come! Dinner is ready!"

"I'm coming, Dad." Baby i have to go dad is calling me,Taehyung send message to Jungkook. And he went downstairs.

After some time, Taehyung and Jin sat and started eating. Suddenly, Jin said something that made Taehyung shocked, his fork paused mid-air.

"Taehyung, these days you're acting weird. Are you hiding something from me?" Jin asked.

Taehyung's fork hovered mid-air, his heart racing. "What do you mean, Dad?" he asked, trying to sound nonchalant.

Jin's piercing gaze made Taehyung squirm. "Don't play dumb, son. I know you. You've been distant, secretive. Is everything okay?"

Taehyung's mind raced. How much did Jin suspect? He forced a laugh. "Of course, Dad. Just stressed with school."

Jin's eyes narrowed. "School? That's not it. You're not fooling me, Taehyung. I know something is going on."

Taehyung's palms grew sweaty. Had Jin discovered his secret relationship with Jungkook? He pushed the thought away, desperate to maintain the facade.

"Dad really it's nothing," Taehyung insisted, attempting to reassure him.

Jin's expression remained unconvinced, but he let the subject drop. "Very well, but remember, Taehyung, I'm always here for you no matter what."

"This food is so good, Dad," Taehyung decided to change the topic.

Jin chuckled, relieved by the shift in conversation. "Glad you approve, son. I was experimenting with new seasonings."

Taehyung smiled, taking another bite. "You're the best chef ever, Dad."

Jin's eyes sparkled with pride. "Well, someone has to keep you fed and happy."

AFTER DINNER.

Jin says we need to now go to sleep now because tomorrow we need to wake up at
5 am, to get prepared for church service. Taehyung nodded, Jin went with him today I'm sleeping over Jin says looking for Taehyung's pyjamas.

Taehyung smiled, feeling a sense of comfort and security with Jin's presence. "You don't have to stay over, Dad," he said, though his eyes betrayed his desire for Jin's company.

Jin chuckled, pulling out a soft pair of pajamas. "I want to, baby boy. Now, let's get you changed."

After Taehyung changed, Jin laid him on the bed and snuggled beside him. Jin started reading from Taehyung's favorite book, "Father's Love, No earned."

Taehyung's eyes sparkled as Jin's voice brought the words to life. "'A father's love is not based on achievements, but on the simple fact that you exist...'"

As Jin read on, Taehyung's eyelids grew heavy, his breathing slowing.

Jin's voice softened, his words a gentle lullaby. "'You are loved, not for what you do, but for who you are, my precious son...'"
