Some weeks later...

"Tae will pick her up on his way home tonight," Jin tells Jimin while giving him some things for Minji, who was going over to his house. Jin and Taehyung were going out on a date.

"He is?" Jimin questioned, looking at Jin, confused as he had heard something completely different from Jungkook. It was his understanding that Minji was going to be spending the night with them and more.

"Yes, after our date, he will drop me home and pick her up. We should be done early so he won't pick her up late if you are worried about that."

"Oh, no, I am not worried at all. The baby keeps me and Jungkook up anyway, so we will be up whatever time he comes to pick her up." Jimin smiles at his brother as he looks through the bag Jin gave him. A frown appearing on his face when he realized there were no clothes in the bag for Minji.

"Minji, sweetie, do you want to go get some clothes, just in case you spill something and need to change?"

Minji got up from watching her movie, "Jinnie, should I? Minji turns to Jin for permission before doing what Jimin told her to do.

"Yes, go ahead, Jimin has a point."

"Gosh, she sees you as a parent," Jimin murmurs to Jin as Minji runs off to her room.

Jin didn't respond; he only smiled. Things were surprisingly going well in his life; his relationship with his brother was getting better. He and Taehyung were growing as well, although he had confessed to Taehyung he loved him, a couple of weeks back being overly happy, he never mentioned it again. Still, Taehyung would tell him every night before he went home and when he saw him in the mornings.

He wasn't sure if he had done the right thing in admitting it, but Taehyung hadn't made him feel wrong about it, and he didn't want to doubt himself, but he still wondered at times. He recognizes he shouldn't, but he could not help it.

"Jinnie, can I bring these?" Minji held the clothes she wanted to bring with her in her hands, to show Jin.

"You only need one shirt and a pair of shorts and maybe underwear, that's it. Nothing more." Jin says as he takes the extra clothes from her hands.

"Okay. Here Jimin." Minji pushes the clothes that Jin told her were acceptable to Jimin.

"Thank you, princess, now put on your shoes and tell Jin bye; we need to go." Jimin told Minji then turned his attention to Jin, "I wish I could stay longer, but I need to go cook dinner."

"You can cook?" Jin looks at Jimin in astonishment; he knew his brother was not the most skilled in the kitchen.

"I am learning more and more each day, Jungkook does not like food from outside, as he prefers his meals cooked at home, so with that, I have been learning to make stuff."

"Interesting. Well, that's good. I suppose marriage can bring you new skills." Jin tried to hide the laugh that wanted to escape because he was relatively sure Jimin was burning half of whatever he was cooking for Jungkook. He was going to make sure to ask Jungkook the next time he saw him how he found Jimin's cooking.

"Very funny, I will have you know its a skill I had before marriage."

"Right, whatever you say. Just make sure you take good care of Minji, and if she doesn't want your food, here is money to get her something she wants. She is very picky about her food, and I don't want her eating anything she does not want to eat."

"You don't need to give me money for her; I will buy her what she wants," Jimin says, rejecting the money Jin was giving him.

Jin slid the money in Jimin's bag when he gave him a hug to tell him bye. He kissed Minji and warned her to listen to Jimin and Jungkook before bidding them goodbye.

Once they left, Jin was shocked to see the time and cursed to himself as he realizes how upset Taehyung was going to be if he was not ready when he got home. He rushed to the bedroom to get himself prepared for their date tonight.

"I am guessing Jin is not informed of your plans?" Jimin says to Taehyung as he picked up the phone.

"No, no, it's a surprise. I gave Jungkook her stuff for the weekend; please take good care of her for me. If she wants anything, Jungkook knows to buy it for her, and I will reimburse him. She has a series of shows she likes to watch as well, Jungkook told me you have a spare t.v. in the guest room, let her use it please as I don't want her meddling with that you guys like to watch. Jin normally make her bath twice per day, so make sure she does that, and she does not skip meals, and-"

"Taehyung I got lectured by Jin, I don't need it from you too, and he lectured me thinking I was going to be keeping her for a few hours. I wouldn't want to know the lecturing I would get if he knew I was keeping her for a weekend. I have a child myself, I know how to take care of kids, I will make sure she stays safe. You know my husband; you know he will take care of her too. She is in good hands, I promise you." Jimin tried reassuring Taehyung.

Taehyung sighs on the phone, he knew for sure he could trust Jungkook with Minji, it was the only reason why he was okay with doing what he had planned for Jin and him.

"Okay, thank you, Jimin. I will call Minji later. Tell her that I love her." Taehyung says before hanging up the phone.

"Everything okay?" Jin startles him by asking. He turned to face Jin and nod, "yes, everything is fine. I was only checking on Minji."

"Oh, okay, is she okay?"

"She is fine." he smiles at Jin and pulls him by his waist towards his body. "Is dinner ready?" he touches his forehead against Jin's looking him in the eyes.

"Yes, they started bringing food out to our table, and I know you don't like your food cold, so we should go in."

"Alright, let's go then." he places a tender kiss on Jin's nose before leading him back into the VIP room of the restaurant he had reserved for them.

"So, I have a confession..." Taehyung hesitates as he watches Jin suck slowly on the strawberry he was eating.

"What's your confession?" Jin asks while he deliberately twirls the strawberry between his lips.

Taehyung clears his throat and lets out a cough. "You are doing that intentionally, aren't you?"

"What are you talking about?" Jin pretends to be oblivious to what Taehyung was referring to.

Taehyung shakes his head and clears his thoughts. "You are aware of what you are doing."

"I have no clue what you are talking about. Now, what was your confession?"

"Minji is staying with Jimin and jungkook for the weekend-"

"What do you mean? Why?" Jin drops a half-eaten strawberry onto his plate and looks at Taehyung, confused.

Taehyung reaches his hand underneath the table and squeezes Jin's thigh as he leaned into his ear, "Because this weekend is about us. So, don't be shy, you can keep teasing me with the strawberries. I am sure I will have my turn."

Jin's heartbeat picked up, and he turned to look at Taehyung, who was smirking at him, enjoying the look that Jin had on his face as his hand inched further up his thigh.
