"hyungie, your Coffee~" Koo put the tray on the table and held the cup right in front of Taehyung's nose. The man had his eyes closed, trying to relax. The parents smiled at the sight. The scent of cinnamon forced taehyung to open his lids and he stared at the cinnamon stick dipped in the pool of coffee. He was about to call Rosita but, "hyungie, I made this for you today," Koo shyly uttered. His diluted orbs were looking back into the attractive almond orbs. The whiff of baby fragrance danced around Taehyung blessing and soothing his senses.

Taehyung carefully took hold of the cup, trying not to brush Koo's fingers.
"Thank you." His heart was beating faster resulting in deep and rushed breaths. The gesture Koo showed toward him by bringing him coffee was doing something weird to Taehyung's emotions and body. His face was gradually turning pink. He felt his cheeks and ears heated. He was blushing. Even his hands became a bit clammy so he clasped both hands tightly around the cup. 'how can he has this strong effect on me' Taehyung took a sip as well despite the cinnamon. He likes his coffee simply void of any sweets and spices. But if Koo brought it for him, he would tolerate it.

"It's..It's okie~" Koo tucked his lock behind his ear casting his eyes down to the floor and walked back to sit beside Namjoon who gently encircled his arm around Koo's shoulder, "Fast service, Koo,"

"Hehehe~" A giggle spread through the air and Taehyung felt euphoric. The odd taste of coffee dissolved in his mouth was replaced by the sweetness of Koo's adorable giggles.

"Baby, see what appa has for you,.." Jin showed the panda onesie to Koo sassily eyeing Namjoon.

"Omooo~ appa i's so pwetty...thank chu~~" Koo clapped his hands smiling wide. His inner baby came out for a while.

"Taebear, I selected it for Koo but your appa stole it from me.." Namjoon informed Taehyung who was busy gazing at Koo.

"Kookie, look here, tada~" Jin showed the color palette to Koo.

Namjoon skimmed through his shopping bags and shouted, "Yeah honey, You can't do this."

"Dada~ let appa be," Taehyung chuckled.

"Thank you so much, I,..I'm, I mean, I mean, thanks.." Koo was not finding suitable words to express his gratitude and the feeling of being cared for by the Kims. He never thought of his stay in Seoul to be this loving and affectionate. He felt significant. He felt swirling emotions in the depths of his chest.

"Now, it's dada's turn. What did you shop for Jungkook," Taehyung put the empty cup aside and scooted closer to his family. Namjoon sighed and took a set of onesies out of the shopping bag. One was a bunny onesie and the other was a dragon. He also gave Koo a diary, chocolates, and gummies, receiving a tight hug from Koo in gratitude.

"And what about me?"

"Do you also need a hug from Kookie?" Jin gave a new color to his son's intention followed by a loud laugh.

"Jinnieeeee..I'm sorry Jungkook, he is a little crack. Don't mind his words." Taehyung quickly explained to the boy with a set of burning cheeks.

"I don't mind..

"Of course, he doesn't mind hugging you, bear. Come on, let's have a group hug.," Jin was in a naughty mood. He hooked his arms around the youngers and brought them closer. Namjoon watched with heart eyes. It was a delightful sight. A shy Kim Taehyung. An innocent Koo.

The hug was awkward. Taehyung's hand hovered over Koo's waist without touching it. Koo clutched Jin's shirt in his fist when the man came a bit closer. It was for two to three seconds though but it felt like an eternity to Taehyung. "Wow, both my babies are friends now." Jin declared. Taehyung bit his lip to suppress the smile threatening to spread on his face. He collected his coat and flew to his room instantly. It was hard to stay under his parents' teasing eyes.
