C H A P T E R : 11

The early morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains, casting golden hues over the pastel-colored room. A soft murmur escaped the tiny bundle curled up under the fluffy comforter. A mop of messy hair peeked out, followed by a delicate yawn.

Y/N-seventeen but still small enough to be mistaken for someone much younger-stretched her tiny arms before burrowing deeper into the warm covers.

From the doorway, Taehyung leaned against the frame, arms crossed, a fond smile tugging at his lips. His Y/N, his baby sister in everything but blood, still clung to her adorable habits like a child.

"Y/N-ah," he called softly, stepping closer to her bed.

A sleepy whimper came in response. "Nooo..." Her voice was muffled by the blanket. "Five more minsies..."

Taehyung chuckled, crouching beside her. "Cupcake, if you don't wake up now, there won't be any pancakes left for you."

At that, her eyes peeked out, wide and curious. "Pan...cakes?"

"With strawberries and whipped cream," he added, watching as her expression changed from sleepy to fully alert.

Within seconds, she shot up, hair sticking out in all directions as she rubbed her eyes with tiny fists. "Me wan' pancakes!"

Taehyung ruffled her hair, laughing. "Alright, but first, let's get you ready, yeah?"

Guiding Y/N to the bathroom, he helped her with her morning routine. She stood on her tiptoes, struggling to reach the faucet. "Oppa, me need hewp!"

Taehyung sighed playfully before lifting her slightly so she could rinse her mouth. "There you go, cupcake."

Once she was freshened up, she twirled in front of the mirror, looking up at Taehyung expectantly. "Me wooks pwetty?"

Taehyung crouched down, smoothing her hair. "You always look pretty, cupcake." He booped her nose, making her giggle....

At the dining table, a plate of pancakes was waiting for her, topped with a smiley face made of strawberries and whipped cream.

"Ta-da!" Taehyung presented it with a flourish.

Y/N gasped dramatically. "So pwetty! Fank you, oppa!"

As she dug in, stuffing her cheeks like a chipmunk, Taehyung rested his chin on his hand, watching her. There was something about the way she approached everything with pure excitement and innocence that made him want to shield her from the world.

"You're eating like a little chipmunk," he teased.

She giggled, covering her mouth. "Chipmunks awe cute!"

"You're cuter," he murmured, reaching out to fix her messy bangs.

Her cheeks turned pink, and she chewed slower, suddenly shy. "Me wuv oppa..." she whispered.

Taehyung smiled, ruffling her hair. "I love you too, cupcake."

After breakfast, he decided to take her to the park since she had been cooped up indoors all week.

Y/N's eyes lit up at the sight of the colorful playground. "Oppa, me go swide!"

"Alright, but be careful," Taehyung reminded, following her.

She climbed the ladder with determination, turning to wave at him when she reached the top. "Oppa, wook!"
