ROSE (Sequel To Fallen To Rise)

Four • Take It Easy

A little while later, the family finally broke apart because SJ's stomach growled loudly which indicated that he was very hungry. Miniko helped Yoongi to the couch (even though he said that he didn't need it) and told him to relax while she makes breakfast. And if he's up to it, they can either go out, or have him help her out. Yoongi protested and tried to get up to help her, but that was before Miniko sat on his lap and began kissing him. But before he could wrap his arms around her waist, she got up. Yoongi was about to begin whining, but Miniko ruffled the top of his head and winked at him.

At that moment, SJ walked into the room, a small book under his arm and a few toys in his hand. He joined his stunned dad on the couch, and put his favorite toys in his lap. SJ took the toys he liked less with him so that his dad could have the 'good' toys. "Appa! Let's play!" SJ said joyfully.

Yoongi looked at SJ and nodded his head, taking the toys from his lap. He heard Miniko quietly pat away and into the kitchen as she quickly fixed up breakfast. It took about thirty minutes for Miniko to finish cooking, much to the two boys' dismay. Both were very hungry by the twenty minute mark, divulging into SJ's new book to try and distract themselves.

"Yoongi! SJ! Breakfast is ready!" Miniko called out.

Yoongi quickly picked up SJ and ran to the kitchen. Though when the rush was over, he rested his palms on the table, feeling dizzy and his vision darkening. Miniko saw and immediately rushed to his side, helping him ease into his chair. He blinked the darkness away, but continued to hold onto the table until his dizziness passed.

"Yoongi-yah, are you okay?" Miniko whispered. She held onto his slightly trembling arms, pressing a light kiss to his temple. SJ stared at the two, not knowing what to do. He gently nibbled on some of the bread that was nearby, curious how the scene will unfold. "I told you to take it easy, babe."

"You're right, ah." Yoongi rubbed his temple in gentle circling motions. His eyes fluttered shut as he attempted to let his dizziness pass. He smiled though, when he felt Miniko's arms wrap tightly around him and anchor him in place. After a few moments of quiet peace, his dizziness passed and although he didn't want to, he untangled himself from Miniko's tight grip. "I'm okay now."

She kissed the top of his head, and went to go get then some slightly hot bowls of seaweed soup. They ate it joyously, chatting happily and explaining the plan for later in the day.

*Later*

"Are you sure you'll be okay walking so much, Yoongi-yah?" Miniko asked, sliding on her navy blue skirt that had little birds scattered around it. Yoongi licked his lips at the sight of her long (at least they looked long on her skirt) slender legs. He ignored her questions, walking up to her as she quickly braided her hair. "Yoongi?" She looked at where he was previously sitting on their bed, furrowing her eyebrows when she found no sight of him.

Yoongi wrapped his arms around Miniko's waist, peppering sweet little kisses on her neck. She smiled a little, comforted by the feeling of his warm arms and soft lips, honestly she wanted to stay there forever if she could. But their child was excitedly waiting for his parents.

"Yoongi-yah," Miniko murmured. She removed his arms from her waist and turned around. He stood with a little pout on his perfectly pale face. Smiling slightly, Miniko wrapped her arms around his neck and began kissing him. His arms returned to her waist immediately as he pulled her close to him.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Umma! Appa! Hurry up!" SJ yelled. He impatiently waited for his parents to get ready. Why couldn't they hurry up? It was a big day for him.

Miniko pecked Yoongi's lips before moving out of his warm embrace and grabbing her purse. He whined and made grabby hands at her waist. Miniko slipped the purse over her shoulder before looking at a pouting Yoongi. She chuckled softly as she walked to the door, waiting to hear Yoongi's footsteps coming after her.

But Yoongi isn't always predictable. She turned around when she heard the bed heave with added weight. He sat on the bed, arms crossed, bottom lip jutting out, looking as stubborn as ever. He made a grabby hand at her. "I want another kiss," he spoke firmly. "Or I will not leave this spot."

He isn't normally stupid like this, he has an energetic kid getting more upset by the second waiting outside for god's sake. But for some reason, he felt unnaturally clingy. All he wanted was to nap with Miniko in his arms, kissing him. Is that too much to ask for?

And apparently it is because even though Miniko isn't as stubborn as he is, she still has her moments. Yoongi's jaw drops when Miniko opens the door and walks out. All he's asking for is a simple kiss? Is that too much to ask for?

As his pout deepened into a frown, SJ strolled into the room, Miniko trailing behind him. SJ turned around and hugged his mom's leg. "Mine," he spoke. She chuckled softly, looking at Yoongi's shocked face. Scoffing, Yoongi walked up to the two, and took Miniko in his arms. He kissed the side of her face before capturing her lips in a searing kiss.

"Ewww!" SJ looked away making a grossed out face. "If you're gonna do that then just say it first," he said. He covered his eyes and jumped face first into their bed. Both parents chuckled at his actions. Yoongi kissed Miniko a few more times before jumping onto the bed, pretending to almost tackle SJ. SJ laughed and then began giggling when Yoongi began to tickle him.

Yoogngi looked at SJ's outfit before furrowing his eyebrows. "Hey, kid of mine," he spoke. SJ looked at Yoongi, cheeks red from loss of breath. "What're you wearing?"

SJ looked down to his dinosaur PJ's that he was still rocking before looking back up to Yoongi. His face reflected Yoongi's, furrowed eyebrows with judgemental eyes and a frowning pair of lips. Miniko smiled at their similarities, looking for a nice pair of flats to wear.

"SJ, before I go to help you change, tell Umma that she looks hot in heels and should wear them," Yoongi spoke with a smirk. Miniko rolled her eyes.

"Umma, you look hot in heels and you should wear them," the young boy spoke joyously.

Miniko chuckled quietly and shook her head, grabbing a pair of flats. Yoongi scooped up SJ and jogged out of the room. She slapped his butt when he ran past her. "Don't be a tease," he whined, running out the door. Smiling, she walked to the kitchen and packed a few snacks.

"Yoongi, you should've taken that turn," Miniko mumbled.

"Huh?" Yoongi looked at her from the corner of his eyes. "I'm going the right way."

"No, you should've taken that turn. Are you going the long way?" Miniko questioned.

"I always go this way, it's only like seven minutes."

"If you took the turn we could get their in three."

"Ah well, I already went this way so there's no point."

"True."

SJ sighed in relief. An argument had almost began to bubble but it cooled down before it grew too heated. He smiled when he saw Yoongi intertwine one of his hands with Miniko's. He smiled when he saw the two smile when their hands connected. 'Seokjin samchon is right,' SJ concluded. 'Umma and Appa do still love each other.'
