——————

Euphoria: a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness. To Jungkook, his parents were his happiness, his excitement and as he drifted off to sleep after a long day at work and dealing with the stress that came with an adult life, he wished to turn back time to the moment when he lived with his two parents in a warm and peaceful home, and who showered him with love.

"Mommy! Mommy! Can you read me a bedtime story?" Six-year-old Jungkook excitedly asked, while his mom tucked him under the comforter. It was a rainy and stormy night, and Jungkook was feeling jittery because he hated the sound of thunder, so to help him fall asleep on such a horrible night, he asked his mom to read him a bedtime story, in hopes of her soothing voice lulling him to sleep.

"Of course, sweetheart. Which story would you like me to read?"

"Hmm, I got it! I want you to read me the Little Mermaid!"

"Oh, excellent choice," his mom said to him, walking to the bookshelf and picking out a red and blue book, which he immediately knew it contained the story he eagerly wanted to hear. The little mermaid had become one of his favorite bedtime stories for the past few weeks since the bravery of Princess Ariel really fascinated him. How could someone sacrifice their voice and legs to be with the love of their life? Jungkook was just happy that Prince Eric was able to recognize Ariel's voice as the person who saved him, and not fall for Vanessa's trick before it was too late.

"Ready?" Jungkook's mom asked him, and he nodded in agreement, pulling the blanket closer to his neck and making himself comfortable.

"Deep beneath the sea lived a little mermaid named Ariel. She loved exploring her underwater home with her friend flounder but dreamed of living on land as a human," his mom began to read. Jungkook could relate to Ariel in some aspects because he wished he could tell everyone about his Alpha parents, but he knew it was never going to come true, due to his parents strictly forbidden him from speaking about their family's dynamics.

"Ariel's father was King Triton, ruler of the sea. He thought humans were dangerous, and when he learned that Ariel had been to the surface, he forbade her to ever go again! Then he asked Sebastian the crab to keep an eye on her." Jungkook's mother continued to read.

"Mommy, why are the humans dangerous?"

"Well, it's not that they are dangerous. It's difficult to explain, but sometimes people don't like to be open-minded about certain topics. Humans don't want to realize that not everyone thinks the same way, and that applies to the different kinds of love in the world. The Little Mermaid's dad never interacted with humans before, so he acted based on what his parents told him."

"Oh," He softly replied, trying to process what his mom just told him.

"Ariel pulled Prince Eric to shore and sang to him. Then she swam away. Prince Eric only caught a glimpse of Ariel's face, but he knew he would remember her beautiful voice forever."

"How can prince Eric be positive he'll recognize her voice?" Jungkook curiously interrupted. He needed to know the answer.

"Love works in mysterious ways." Jungkook's mom said to him.

"What is love?" He asked.

"Do you love being around Mommy and Daddy?"

"Yes."

"Do you miss us whenever we are not around?"

"Yeah."

"Are we always on your mind?"
