Married to a Prankster

50. Busy night

Taehyung was wrong. Jungkook was wrong. 

Junha didn't 'not miss' his parents. 

He just didn't realize that they weren't going to return until Taehyung and Jungkook took him to their house that night after signing the adoption papers and making him officially theirs. 

Taehyung was almost in tears as he rocked Junha continuously, doing everything he possibly could to stop him from crying. 

He put him against his shoulder and patted his back continuously, tried walking around, tried showing him the moon, tried jiggling toys in front of him, tried feeding him, tried swapping places with Jungkook, tried taking him out of the flat.....

But nothing worked. Junha just didn't stop crying.

His face was red and puffy with all the crying he had done in the past two hours. 

"Please stop crying, tiger! Shhh, shhhhhhh" Jungkook said, holding him against his shoulder and swinging from side to side. 

"See? You are making Appa cry. Don't cry, baby, shh" he said, pointing towards Taehyung, who was sitting on the couch with tears in his eyes. But Junha neither understood what he said nor bothered to look at what he was pointing to. 

It took another hour for Junha to exhaust himself and fall asleep. But the second Jungkook lowered him into the crib, he woke up and started crying again. 

"Okay, okay, okay, I'm not going anywhere" he said and picked him up. 

"Looks like we will have to sleep with him tonight" Jungkook said, looking at Taehyung. 

"No problem" Taehyung said, taking Junha from Jungkook. 

The two of them fell asleep with Junha in between them, only to wake up a couple of hours later to the sound of their son's cries. 

That was how they spent the whole night - waking up once every couple of hours to soothe Junha down and rock him back to sleep. 

"Congrats, Kook. You officially look like a jackbutt now" Jimin said the second he saw Jungkook the next day during lunch. "Shut up, hy-" "No, he is right. What the fuck is wrong with your face?" Seokjin cut him off. 

Jungkook sighed heavily. "It was hard last night, hyung. Junha wouldn't sleep. He kept crying the whole night" he said, rubbing his eyes roughly. 

"Oh......he might be missing his parents" Jimin said. "Yeah, that's what we thought. But it was hard to see him cry so hard. And Taehyung took all the 'baby matters' into his own hands today in the morning. I feel bad about that cause he is as new to it as I am" Jungkook said, making Jimin snicker. 

"What?" Jungkook asked, narrowing his eyes at Jimin. "Sorry. It's just....I still can't believe Tae is sitting at home with a baby in his arms. He has completely turned into a typical wife" Jimin said, trying to hide another snicker by stuffing his mouth with food. 

"Shut up, jackbutt" Taehyung snapped at him. 

"Oh?! Tae!!" Jungkook exclaimed and stood up to peck his lips. "Did you throw Junha out of the window already?!" Jimin asked, looking horrified. 

Taehyung rolled his eyes and waved his hand at him dismissively. 

"How's everything with Joon hyung, hyung?" he asked Seokjin. 

"He is still very pissed about the whole thing, but he is at least talking to me now" Seokjin said happily. "Oh, that's great" Jungkook exclaimed. 

"Bring him home when he is free, hyung. Junha will warm him up" he said. 

"Sure. I was actually planning to come tonight. I didn't get to know Junha because of all the stuff that happened yesterday" Seokjin said. 

"But that won't happen" Jimin said sadly. 

"Why?!" Seokjin asked while Taehyung rolled his eyes again. 

"He threw him out of the window" Jimin said. 

"Midgy face" Taehyung muttered as he smacked Jimin's head. "I just dropped him at our house so that Harabeoji could meet his great grandson" he said. 

"Ohh, he isn't crying anymore?" Jungkook asked. 

"No. But I think he will start again at night" Taehyung said. "Aishh" Jungkook sighed. 

"So, hyung, will you come too? Tonight, I mean" he asked Jimin. "I was going to come right after logging out, but Junha is at our house right now, right? I will go home and play with him and come to your house with Taehyung" Jimin said. 

"Okay, fine" Jungkook said. "I'll go and continue my work. Jin hyung, don't disturb me today no matter how urgent the matter is. Tae, come and help me" he said and got up from his seat. 

"They are not gonna work" Jimin said once they left. "Of course not" Seokjin said. 

"How old is the baby again?" he asked. "Six months old" Jimin said. "Did he start crawling yet?" Seokjin asked. "I don't think so. When I called Tae in the morning, he said he was going to try putting him on his stomach" Jimin said. 

"Ohh, that's soo cutee" Seokjin cooed. "Ohh, wait until you actually meet him, hyung. I didn't interact much with him and I love him already. You are gonna fall for him too" Jimin said. 

"Really?!" Seokjin exclaimed. "I can't wait to see him" he said. "Me neither! He has huge-ass cheeks, hyung! I think his cheeks take up more than half of his face. Huge eyes, a cute little nose, huge chin, smoollll lips and a huge forehead" Jimin said, ticking off each feature on his fingers. 

"Oh my god, oh my god" Seokjin cooed. "Wait, I'm not done!" Jimin exclaimed. "He is about as long as your arm, his arms are about as long as your huge palm, his feet are about as long as your middle finge-" 

"STOP, STOP, STOP!! Are you trying to kill me?!" Seokjin asked. "No! WHY?!" Jimin asked. 

"This is too much! I will see him myself!! Don't describe him and make me go crazy" Seokjin exclaimed. 

Jimin chuckled. "Okay, hyung" he said and got up. 

"See you tonight" he said. "Yeah, see you too" Seokjin said and left.
