The night was heavy with the quiet hum of the baby monitor, a sound that had become a constant presence in Y/n and Jungkook's life. Their newborn daughter, Nari, had been crying on and off for what felt like hours. Y/n, her body sore and her eyes heavy with sleep deprivation, stirred as the soft wails grew louder. She made a move to get up, but Jungkook was quicker.
"I’ve got her, love," he whispered, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder to keep her in bed.
"But—"
"No buts, Y/n. You need rest. Stay here."
Reluctantly, Y/n settled back into the warmth of their bed, guilt gnawing at her. She watched Jungkook’s broad figure disappear into the dim hallway, the faint cries of Nari guiding him to the nursery.
Inside, Nari’s little face was scrunched up, her tiny fists flailing in frustration. Jungkook scooped her up with practiced care, his hand supporting her head as he cradled her against his chest. "Alright, princess, what’s all this noise about, huh?" he murmured, his voice soft and soothing.
As Nari's cries continued, Jungkook headed to the kitchen, balancing her with one arm while preparing a bottle with the other. Once it was ready, he settled onto the couch and adjusted her in his arms.
"Now, listen here, Nari," Jungkook began, his tone taking on a mock-serious edge as he held the bottle to her lips. "You’ve got to stop being so hard on your mummy, yeah? She’s amazing, you know that? Works so hard to take care of you, even when she’s knackered. You’re being a bit cheeky keeping her up like this."
Nari’s big, round eyes stared up at him as she began to drink, her cries subsiding into soft gulps. Jungkook chuckled, stroking her tiny head. "See? Much better, isn’t it? Now, let’s try to give mummy a break, alright? She needs her beauty sleep. Can’t have her running on empty."
When the bottle was empty and Nari’s eyelids began to droop, Jungkook pressed a tender kiss to her forehead. "Good girl. That’s daddy’s little star."
He padded softly back to the bedroom, where Y/n lay on her side, her eyes half-open.
"You’re supposed to be sleeping," Jungkook teased, climbing into bed carefully.
"I tried," Y/n murmured, her voice tinged with exhaustion and guilt. "But I feel like I’m failing her. I don’t know if I’m doing enough."
Jungkook shook his head, settling against the headboard with Nari resting on his chest. "Hey, none of that. You’re the best mummy she could ever have. Don’t let those thoughts take over, okay?"
Y/n sat up slightly, reaching out to gently touch Nari’s tiny hand. "She cries so much… I just feel like I’m not giving her what she needs."
"Babies cry, love. That’s just what they do. Doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong," Jungkook reassured her, his free arm wrapping around her shoulders to pull her close. "You’re amazing, Y/n. And Nari? She’s lucky to have you."
Y/n rested her head against Jungkook’s shoulder, her fingers tracing patterns on Nari’s little blanket. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice barely audible.
"Anytime," Jungkook replied, leaning down to press a kiss to her temple. He glanced down at the baby sleeping soundly on his chest and then back at Y/n. "See? She’s happy now. And that’s because of you."
For the first time that night, Y/n allowed herself to relax. She nestled closer to Jungkook, her hand resting on his chest over Nari’s tiny body. In that moment, despite the exhaustion and doubts, she felt a warmth that reminded her she wasn’t alone.
As the three of them lay there, cocooned in the quiet of the night, Jungkook whispered, "This is it, Y/n. My girls. My whole world."
And with that, the little family drifted into a peaceful slumber, wrapped in each other’s love.
