The hour-long flight from Busan to the country's capital, Seoul caused my back to wince in pain. Something that still kept me enthusiastic about this unplanned visit was the weather. Seoul had always been famous for the abundance of cherry blossom during the season.

"I am so happy... eomma came back from heaven, dada." Taehee's distracting voice pulled my attention to the kid from the scenic beauty outside the car's window. We were on our way to his house from the airport.

The indirectly mentioned man's slight smile faltered. "I am happy too, but will you promise dada something?'' Taehyung asked trying to be as discreet as possible to the little girl. Taehee nodded her head in confusion. "Don't tell anyone that eomma went to heaven. Let's keep it a secret.'' Taehyung put his index finger on her soft lips and she emitted him. "Promise?" He asked extending his little finger towards her.

"Pinky promises are for kids. Grow up, dada." She chuckled while dismissing his pinky but his soft glares never left her eyes and his finger waited for Taehee's accompany. "Ugh! I wanted to tell my friends about it... but okay. Promise." She grudgingly agreed and they interlocked their fingers. 

5 minutes later...

The white gravel crunched under the weight of the SUV as Jungkook pulled into the driveway of the perfect-example-of-modern-architecture of a house. My eyes tried to take in the smartly-built home of Kim Taehyung. I excitedly turned to the latter and exclaimed. "Is this your house?! It's amazing!"

He flashed a boxy smile that was similar to Taehee's before shyly letting out, "Yea, I hope you like the interior too." It looked fresh out of some movie. I didn't know producing movies could buy houses like this one or I would have tried my hand at it too... 

The heavy wooden door opened automatically when Jungkook punched in some code. The sophisticated taste of the residents reflected well through the interior and little artefacts that decorated and not crowded the wall. The most prominent part was the pleasingly huge portrait of the separated couple, Minhee and Taehyung. 

Though Minhee and I look alike but her pictures were way better than mine. I don't know why maybe it was the expensive lens through which it was taken or maybe because it was probably taken by a professional and not a person like Yumi but I always look like a scarecrow in pictures.

"Should we get going?" Taehyung asked just when I made my way towards the floor to ceiling intricate glasswork that opened to the lawn with direct access of sunlight. I unwillingly turned on my balls and followed behind them. I lifted up my foot to take a step but soon stopped when I spotted a ball of fur darting towards us.

Turns out it was mini Yumi who would accompany me to hell even but bit a lot cuter. Just kidding.

Taehyung squatted down and started petting black brown-furred tiny creature. A pair of eyes sparkled up when the man lifted it up. Its affectionate licks made him giggle with joy. Taehee slightly pushed him away and said "Dada, move aside. Lemme play with Tannie." 

After enjoying its time in Taehee's company, the aforementioned dog made a run to Jungkook for his love too. ''Yeontan, how are you?" He asked and it barked in response as if saying 'I'm fine, sorry~'

A minute or two passed and it didn't even notice me standing there. Well, I think it doesn't really like me. Huh! I don't like you too.

I still remember that day back then when I was a kid. I visited my aunt and her dog bit me. That dog was so bitchy. And as if getting bit by a dog wasn't enough, they blamed me for doing him wrong! Yeah, it's amazing to be cheering dogs to have a bite of you.

Suddenly, it turned its gaze towards me and It didn't seem to recognize me. I faked a smile at it, trying not to present it as such because it can make people question my façade. As if understanding my fake love, it started barking at me continuously. 

It started running towards me but Taehyung reacted by pulling me behind him by my waist and stopping Yeontan in time. "Tannie, what happened? Why are you barking at eomma?"

Eomma !? As if having a human child wasn't enough, they reproduced a dog too!?

I don't understand why people call themselves their pet's parents. I mean that's so cringey.

Jungkook then asked a man standing a little far away to take the dog. "With the way he growled at Minhee, I assume he's hungry."

Taehyung moved aside and it was a cue for me to stop hiding behind him and prepare for a house tour which the other guys telepathically planned.

My pace was slow, partially to let my eyes capture the beauty of his house and partially because the other three who lagged behind could catch up with my steps but it seemed as though they walked slower intentionally. I could hear them whispering something amongst themselves.

I'm feeling kind of left out!

The walls were covered with magnificent artworks. I was observing the sleek, top-notch aesthetics carefully, but then... I tripped over the air and fell headfirst on the perfectly marbled floor.

Jungkook's PoV

I observed her as she walked in front of us when I whispered in Taehyung's ears, "Consider ourselves lucky for finding her. She's just like Minhee..." Taehyung wasn't as happy as he should have been after this almost impossible discovery. I always said I can understand but honestly, it was really hard to get this man. 

I rolled my eyes at his lack of presence and no response to continuing the walk. In a blink of an eye, the perfectly fine Y/N fell to the floor with a loud thud.

"Well, I take my words back.'' I tried to hold in the fits of laughter while Taehyung was clearly unimpressed.

Y/N's PoV

''Oh fuck!'' I cursed because of the pain caused by the sudden impact, which in return was caused because of me being as unaware of my surroundings as a fish.

"Fuck..." Taehee said to herself as if registering the word in her head. I could practically hear cricket's sound when we stared at Taehee but she never said anything else than just nodding her head.

"No, Taehee, make sure you never say that word again, okay?" Taehyung kneeled down to her level making his point clear in a slightly stern voice.

"But, dada, isn't that a word people say when they fall?" Her gaze landed on my figure that was still deprived of any help. "She said that too."

"Only adults are allowed to use it. Small, chicken-sized kids should not let that word escape their mouths." I reasoned while chuckling nervously. Taehyung gave me a disappointed look whereas it took every cell in Jungkook's body to not laugh his ass off.

Taehee just blinked once and her eyes were brimming with tears. "Dada, eomma called me chicken-sized..." A second went by and she was crying as if I cursed at her.

It wasn't even that big of a deal.

"No, baby, you aren't chicken-sized. You're a grown-up girl who's very beautiful and cute." Taehyung patted her back whilst cheering her. The looks he gave me time to time made it clear that he wanted to fire me right away. "Eomma is a bit dazed right now because she returned from heaven. Let's talk to her after some time. Why don't you play with Yeontan by the time we help eomma?"

Taehee stopped weeping and looked at me intently. She walked over to me and said: "Get well soon, eomma." A smile that hid her humiliation surfaced on her face before she ran away.

I already made myself comfortable on the floor as no one took the initiative to reach out to me but just then Jungkook extended his hand in front of me. I gladly took the help I deserved to get earlier. "Noona, you should be more careful while walking.'' He commented with a sigh when Taehyung just walked past us in utter dissatisfaction.

I was too flustered to snap at him for calling me noona. We paced faster to catch Taehyung's footsteps. "Taehee is just 5 years old. Kids pick bad habits faster and as a responsible father, I don't want my daughter to learn bad words. Please think twice before saying anything as long as you're with Taehee."

An hour later...

I actually quite enjoyed the tour of his city-sized house if we exclude the part where my legs turned to jell-O and I almost tripped again. The tour seemed endless with room after room but we finally made through the session. 

"Finally we conclude our tour here and this is our room." He said while pointing towards another beautifully decorated room.

Yay! At last, we are fin—wait, what? Did he say 'our' room?!
