"jungkookie! your dad said hurry up, he's waiting outside for you outside!" mina calls out for jungkook as she walks back into the house to get the said little baby. she closes the door behind her and looks around the foyer for jungkook but then remembers he went upstairs to apologize to the other boy.

"jungkook!" mina softly out calls coming up the stairs to get him, to already be met with him atop of the stairway. with a big smile on his face and his hands hid behind his back as if he were trying to hide something, jungkook responds to her.

"here i am ms. mina!" he giggles afterwards, making grabby hands up towards his soon-to-be step mom as she walks closer to him. "ah there you are~!" she playfully growls like a monster, happily picking him up, booping his nose so playfully. she then places him on her hip, kookie's happy little giggles brings joy to her heart. jungkook has to be the most adorable little boy she had ever laid eyes on.

the happy atmosphere and the laughter dies down... jungkook begins to pout which mina immediately noticed. what was the sudden drop in attitude? "what's wrong kookie?" 

"hmm...i tried to apologize to taehyungie... but he told me to get out....." his words were slurred by his little sad pout. he even looked down at his hands while he fiddled with them. really in the back of his little head, he knew taehyung would easily get in trouble from his lies. he already picked up on the way mina treated taehyung. 

like she obviously didn't like him.

mina smiles at his cuteness, "aww~ it's ok, taehyung can be difficult at times, im sure he's just upset right now."

her words actually made jungkook feel guilty....it wasn't true for her to say, of course jungkook knew it wasn't true. however, he still chose to take a vindictive route. he wanted to hurt taehyung. he couldn't forget it. it was fun.

"he's not a good big brother." jungkook said pouting as if he were going to cry. keeping up the act however he mentally smiles to himself. cause he still decided to lie on taheyung. 

"ooh~ don't worry koo, he'll be the perfect big brother in no time." mina confirmed pinching jungkook's cheek, eliciting a little giggle from him.

great. good. fantastic.

they finally made it out of the door to the running car parked in the driveway.

jungkook was giggling at ms.mina until he noticed his daddy in the driver's seat, seemingly thinking hard of something. which jungkook didn't like too much. his dad knows his every move somehow. they can read each other like a book. whatever the important subject that was floating through namjoon's mind blocked him off from reality. he didn't even notice mina had walked out the house with kook on her hip. it was until mina had said, "baby, i'll buckle jungkook in" did namjoon snap out his thoughts, jumping back to present time and day.

"o-oh thankyou." namjoon mumbles unlocking the door of the car just before mina pulled the handle. looking over his shoulder, he watched mina carefully put the seat belt on the small boy, the father and son made eye contact exchanging a silently serious stare.

"ok you boys be safe now." she spoke closing the door of the car then going to the driver's window to kiss namjoon on his cheek, "i love you, see you tomorrow."

"i love you too, and tell taehyung i said goodbye." namjoon responds back and jungkook cringes.

mina smiles softly at the request, "i will. bye now." she waves to him as she walked back into the house and namjoon waits for her to safely get inside of the house before driving off.

the vehicle was deathly silent. not one word was spoken but somehow the two knew exactly what was on each other's minds. namjoon knew his son all too well to know something wasn't right. he knew jungkook had to provoke taehyung to lash out like that.

it was enough of thinking; it was time for namjoon to get to the bottom of it.

"what was that about kook? why did taehyung get upset like that?"

jungkook was looking out of the window, he acted as if he didn't hear his dad's question but still responded with "i dunno, he just did." he shrugs up in his shoulders. nothing further than those simple words.

"ok son. let me ask this differently, did you bring up his dad even though i told you not to. i warned you he is fairly sensitive of hearing about his father before you met him." namjoon knows of taehyung's father passing away and taehyung never wants too bring it up beacuse it makes him sad. namjoon never even spoke about taehyung's father to him or mina. 

jungkook's heart sped up, he didn't want to get caught or disappoint his dad right now.

but since he knew his father so well...

the little boy pokes out his bottom lip avoiding looking straight at his father thought, "y-yes.... but it was mistake... i just asked about his toys... i didn't know his dada gave them to him...." in between his words he already begun to cry, tear droplets roiling down his cheek. of course not telling the whole story.

jungkook did way worse than what he is confessing.

his son's confession made him feel bad especially since he is about to cry... namjoon didn't mean to come out so harshly when asking about what happened. namjoon just knows his son, he knows how jungkook can get with other kids. 

that wasn't what made taehyung have an outburst like that and namjoon knows it. namjoon can say he knows taehyung pretty well also. unfortunately, as soon as jungkook began crying all suspicion was thrown out of the window. just as jungkook thought it would be like.

"i'm sorry koo... i didn't mean to scare you. look at this, how about as soon as we get home, we eat ice cream and watch frozen together?" namjoon felt so bad that he honestly forgot the real reason he asked the question, in the first place. 

jungkook hiccups out a few more cries and sniffles, "y-yes p-please..."
