Unbinding Tradition

78. Celebration 🎉

Everyone do vote and comment a lot....

The house was in deep slumber. The cool night breeze swayed the curtains, and the dim glow of the oil lamp flickered against the walls.

It had been a month since Tae and Jungkook's son was born, and in just that short time, the little one had managed to turn the entire house into his kingdom. Every member of the household was utterly captivated by him.

But there was one tiny problem.

He was an owl.

Not literally, of course, but his sleep schedule certainly resembled one. He would nap through the day, innocent and angelic, while at night, he would wake up as if the world had just begun, demanding entertainment from his exhausted parents.

Sometimes, Tae would hum a lori (lullaby) to soothe him. Sometimes, Jungkook-who had never danced in his life-would find himself swaying ridiculously, much to his son's delight.

Other times, Mr. Kim or Raghu Kaka had to make funny faces, and when all else failed, Jung-guk's hair became the ultimate toy, as the baby loved tugging at it with a mischievous grin.

Tonight, however, it was a peaceful night-or so they thought.

2:00 AM - The Beginning of Chaos

Tae and Jungkook were fast asleep, lying on either side of their baby. The little one lay snuggled between them, his tiny fist gripping Tae's dupatta as she instinctively covered him with it. Her soft palm rested protectively on his chest, moving gently up and down with each tiny breath he took.

Jungkook, on the other hand, was sprawled on his side, mouth slightly open as he snored away-a deep, thunderous sound that echoed through the room.

Tae was used to it. After all, she had been sharing a bed with him for quite some time now.

But the baby?

The baby was not used to such loud disruptions to his sleep.

"Mmmnn... Eehhh... Ehhh... Aaaahhh..."

A sweet, tiny cry filled the room.

The baby frowned in his sleep, wriggling slightly before his soft whimpers turned into full-blown cries.

Tae, still half-asleep, instinctively patted his chest, murmuring,

Tae- Shh, shh... sleep...

But she was still in dreamland, barely registering anything.

The baby, unimpressed by his mother's lazy attempt to console him, let out another heart-wrenching cry.

"Aaaaeehh... Agoo... Mmmnnnn... Ahhh..."

Jungkook, the heavy sleeper, groaned at the noise and turned to his side, rubbing his face.

Jk- Tae... (he muttered sleepily) Handle your prince...

Tae, however, was too lost in her sleep to respond.

The baby's cries only grew louder.

And then-

"WAHHHHH!"

Jungkook's eyes snapped open.

He turned his head and saw their little one awake, tiny fists waving in the air as he cried dramatically.

Jk- Arre! Why are you crying at this hour? (he groaned, rubbing his face)

Yawning loudly, he sat up and reached for his son, carefully lifting him into his arms. He adjusted the baby so his tiny head rested against his shoulder, gently rubbing his back.
