Jeongguk's alarm went off at 8, waking up the boys. Their legs were entangled and Taehyung had buried his head at the crevice of Jeongguk's neck. Jeongguk couldn't help but sneeze when Taehyung's hair kept tickling him. It was too early for Jeongguk to get shy and flustered, so he shrugged off his sleepiness and went to the bathroom. He had helped Taehyung to brush his teeth because he didn't want to waste time explaining the importance of dental hygiene to Taehyung when he was in a hurry. Taehyung had been very cooperative since he was very sleepy, he just let Jeongguk invade his mouth with a mighty neon pointy object. Jeongguk said it was a toothbrush.

Jaegguk was already downstairs eating his breakfast when he called out Jeongguk with his mouth full of pancakes. "Taetae Hyung good morning! How was your sleep?"

"Where's my good morning you little shit." Jeongguk ruffled Jaegguk's hair affectionately (violently) while stealing his pancakes.

"Hyung! My hair! Ugh, I was supposed to go on a lunch date with Mina today!" Jaegguk punched Jeongguk's stomach with his little fists with no avail.

"I had a great sleep, thank you Jaeggukie. That's very nice of you. What are you eating?"

"Pancakes! The best invention in this world! Would you like some Taetae hyungie?"

And that was the beginning of Taehyung's obsession with pancakes. Jaegguk has introduced him to different syrups, jams, peanut butter, and Nutella. Taehyung loved them all. They talked and talked until Mr Jeon dragged Jaegguk into the car.

"Taetae hyungie I'm late for school, see you tonight!!"

"See you Jaeggukkie, good luck with your date, you look dashing!" Jaegguk showed his brightest smile, clearly pleased with the compliment. His smile reminded Taehyung of Jeongguk's bunny smile. He hadn't seen it on Jeongguk, just on some photos in his bedroom. Jaegguk didn't have the same bunny teeth, but he was still a really cute kid.

"Taehyung you should never lie to a kid."

"Who said I was lying? Your brother is a handsome young man. Your family has great genes."

"Does this mean I am a handsome young man as well?" Jeongguk smirked.

Taehyung stared at nothing and pretended he was thinking hard. "Well, to be honest, you don't meet my standard of beauty... you know, we merfolk have an eye for these things," Taehyung shrugged nonchalantly. "so, you're like a... five. Six at most."

"Five? What the fuck?" Jeongguk had received a lot of praise for his looks and body throughout the years, although he would not admit it boosted his ego, he's never a proud person. He wouldn't say he's super hot, but he knows he's not that bad. A five???

Taehyung chuckled. "Keep talking and it'll be a four." He splashed Jeongguk with several drops of water from the kitchen counter.

Namjoon had called the night before, telling Jeongguk that he and Seokjin will return from their business trip as soon as possible. As Hwasa was still on vacation, Jeongguk had to work. Today he had to treat the birds suffering from oil spillage.

Since Taehyung didn't want to be left alone in the house, he asked Jeongguk to take him to the lab, promising that he would help Jeongguk heal the injured animals. And that is the reason why Taehyung is now standing next to Jeongguk, using his telepathic abilities to aid Jeongguk. More often than not the injured sea animals are transferred to the facility, but Jeongguk didn't always know what problem they had internally. Sure, he could deal with broken fins or clustered fishing nets, but if the animal had internal bleeding or wounds, he wouldn't know immediately and it would lower their chances of being saved.
