The Jeon&Kim mansion absolutely buzzes with life, transformed into a breathtaking wonderland for Taegukk’s grand welcome party.

Every corner bursts with vibrant floral arrangements, soft fairy lights twinkle overhead, and the air hums with excited chatter and the rich aroma of food.

This isn't just a party; it's a star-studded affair, with famous faces from the entertainment world mingling alongside beaming family and close friends.

Tae looks ethereal in a flowing, elegant gown, a soft smile gracing her lips as she cradles Taegukk, who is surprisingly calm amidst the buzz.

Kook stands proudly beside them, looking dashing and radiating pure fatherly joy, his hand often resting protectively on Tae's back or gently touching his son’s tiny head.

Jimin, ever the life of the party, zips around, making sure every guest has a drink. Jin, holding court near the magnificent dessert table, is already cracking jokes that echo with appreciative laughter.

Yoongi and Namjoon engaged in deep conversation with a renowned film director, but their eyes constantly drift towards Taegukk.

Aradhya helps the catering staff, ensuring everything runs smoothly, while Jennie, looking absolutely radiant and beautifully round in her ninth month of pregnancy, glows as she chats with friends, gently patting her own belly.

"He’s truly a little angel, Tae" Jisoo coos, her eyes shining as she takes a turn peeking into Taegukk’s crib, set up on a beautiful, flower-adorned display table. "Look at those little cheeks! And those eyes, definitely Jungkook’s."

"He is, isn’t he?" Tae whispers back, her voice soft with overwhelming love. "He’s been such a good boy. Mostly, when he’s not demanding cuddles at 3 AM."

Just then, a tall, familiar figure approaches. It’s Mingyu, Jungkook’s best friend, looking incredibly sharp in a tailored suit.

He offers a warm, easy smile to Jungkook, then his gaze shifts, lingering on Jisoo. There’s a familiar spark, a playful challenge mixed with undeniable affection, that passes between them, a silent language they've developed.

"Hey, Jisoo" Mingyu greets, his voice smooth, a teasing glint in his eyes. "I hope you didn't forget me but ofcourse only a heartless can forget a handsome face like mine." He gestures playfully at Jungkook.

Jisoo rolls her eyes, a faint blush dusting her cheeks that she tries to hide. "Who praise themselves. And you aren't that handsome, got it?"

Jungkook watches them, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. Tae glance at them with a confused gaze. She remembers jisoo complaining about mingyu few months back.

"You indirectly compliment me. Thank you!" "Shut up~"

But over time, through countless mutual friend gatherings and shared moments, their barbed banter had softened, transforming into something far more tender and genuine.

"He’s so tiny" Mingyu says, his voice surprisingly soft as he looks at Taegukk, a genuine awe in his eyes. "Hard to believe he’s going to be a force of nature like his dad."

"Hopefully with more common sense than his uncle" Jisoo mutters under her breath, making Tae giggle softly.

Mingyu shoots her a mock-offended look, but a genuine smile quickly follows. He then clears his throat, a nervous energy suddenly radiating from him.

He glances at Jisoo, a look of deep affection and a hint of nervousness in his eyes. Jisoo shyly nod at him, sneakingly. "Actually" Mingyu begins, his voice suddenly a little shaky, commanding attention.
