JUST FRIENDS | THE SEQUEL

"Daddy, can you read me this book tonight?" She brought a book to the dining table.

Taehyung picked it up, reading the title and asking, "Didn't I read this one last night?.."

"Yes, but I like this book."

"Hmm.. Okay. Here's your food. I've already cut it up for you so it won't be too hot." He always took the extra precautions to make sure she was happy. Especially as she only had one parent and no comfort of a mother.

"Where's your dinner, daddy?.." She took her spoon, scooping up some peas and putting them in her mouth.

"Just over here.." The man placed his plate on the table, "Put down your spoon, missy. You can't eat before I start. AND you need to pray, don't you?"

"Sorry, daddy.."

"It's okay." He smiled, putting his hands on his lap and lowering his head - mumbling a quiet prayer.

"Amen."

"Amen."

"You can eat now, baby."

"Hmm.."

"Daddy, can you help me with my shirt?" Every night, she struggled with the buttons.

"Of course. Come here.." Taehyung knelt on the floor and Hwa-Young hopped towards him.

After buttoning her shirt, she giggled, "Storytime?.."

"Hop into bed, I'll get your book from the table." He kissed her cheek and walked out of the room, swiftly grabbing the book and walking back in to see her in the bed.

"Come sit next to me, daddy.." Hwa-Young announced.

"Always."

Half-way through the book, he stopped for a moment to look at the girl's precious face. Fast asleep. She was only a smaller, cuter version of Taehyung.

"I love you so much, princess.." The man kissed her forehead and got up carefully. He turned the light off and closed the door.

However, he couldn't go to bed yet. There was still so much to do. He had to clean up after dinner. There was laundry to sort, toys to tidy up and wine to drink.

He started by washing the dishes and wiping the dining table. Then, he moved to the stove, cleaning any food he had spilled and moved the pots and trays to the sink.

He emptied the dirty water down the sink, filling it with clean, soapy water.

Afterwards, Taehyung rushed around, picking up all the toys spread around the house. Soon, he was finished.

Then man walked to the cupboard that Hwa-Young didn't know about - He picked out a bottle of red wine and took a glass from the cabinet. Then, made his way towards the couch.

Hwa-Young's bedtime was eight o'clock and so he still had plenty of time to watch television. Usually, he would go to bed at sometime between eleven and one; then wake up at six.

This bottle was unopened so he uncorked the top and poured himself a large glass. He tucked his feet up, turning the TV on and watching the newest episode of Queer Eye.

Taehyung sighed, laying back, "I better get to bed.." He mumbled, getting up slowly and steadily.

Tipsy, the male stumbled to his room and closed the door.

When he was like this, tired and slightly drunk, he always just stripped into his boxers to go to bed.

Taehyung felt the cold sheets hit his skin and it was amazing.

(a/n: just a question.. Do y'all sleep naked, in underwear, fully clothed (meaning full length trousers and a shirt) or with a shirt and shorts? Personally, I like the feeling of the cold sheets against my skin, so I sleep with my underwear. I would sleep naked but I have parents that come in my room and wake me up..)
