The car ride was painfully silent.

Taehyung sat in the back next to Yeonjun, and he couldn’t help but watch Jeongguk’s hard expression in the rearview mirror. His tongue was poking his inner cheek and his eyebrows were furrowed in annoyance.

And yet he looked so hot.

They were all still in their overnight clothes but nobody seemed to mind.

“Jeonggukie what’s wrong?” Taehyung asked tentatively.

Jeongguk’s eyes looked at Taehyung in the mirror and flickered back to the road.

“Nothing.” He said curtly.

“Are you sure?” He pressed.

“Yes, Taehyung. I'm sure.” Jeongguk replied unenthusiastically.

“Well I think you’re lying.” Taehyung pouted.

“I’m not ly-”

“You are!” Taehyung frowned, “You were fine a minute ago and now you’re being all grumpy. What's the matter Gukkie? Did I do something?”

Jeongguk sighed.

“I’m fine, Taehyung. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Mr Gukkie why are you sad?” Yeonjun asked.

“I’m not sad-” Jeongguk said again. “I’m just not in the best of moods right now.”

“We’ll sing you a song!” Yeonjun cheered.

“Happy Birthda-” He began

“It’s okay Junnie. I’m sure Mr Gukkie doesn’t want to hear us sing.” Taehyung whispered to his son. “Sometimes grumpy people don’t want to be cheered up.”

“I’m NOT grumpy!” Jeongguk sighed.

“Well you’re certainly not happy, that’s for sure.” Taehyung mumbled.

“Taehyung just drop it.” Jeongguk groaned. “What time does your husband want you to be back home by?”

“10 o’clock.” Taehyung replied absentmindedly.

“Okay then. We'll probably get-”

“Husband?” Taehyung asked suddenly.

“Yeah. 10 o’clock did you-”

“Jeonggukie I don’t have a husband.” Taehyung said confusedly. “Trust me, I wish I did.”

“Yes you do-”

“I think I'd know if I had a husband or not, Gukkie.” Taehyung snorted.

“Is he your boyfriend then?”

“Is who my boyfriend? Where are you getting this information from Jeon?Sadly, I’m completely single.” Taehyung sighed wistfully.

“B-But the guy on the p-phone. You called him babe.” Jeongguk said exasperatedly.

Taehyung thought for a moment.

“Oh.” He said, a wild grin stretching out across his face. “That was just my friend. Seokjin.”

“Oh.” Jeongguk said dumbly. “Well why’d you call him babe then?”

“Because that’s just our thing! Do you not call your friends silly names?” Taehyung shot back.

“I call my friend Beommie! I'm taller than him!” Yeonjun interjected.

Jeongguk smiled and thought for a moment.

“I do! But I don’t call any of them babe! How was I supposed to know it was a normal thing for you? You almost gave me a heart attack, Tae. I nearly died of sadness.” Guk pouted.

“Why?”

“Well it kinda sounded like you were married. You never really told me otherwise.” Jeongguk said awkwardly.

Taehyung thought for a minute.

“Oh.” He said.

...

“Is that why you were in a bad mood, Gukkie? You thought I was married?” Taehyung smiled cutely.

“M-maybe.” Jeongguk mumbled embarrassedly, “S-so you’re not, right? M-married, I mean. You're totally, absolutely single, right? Completely available?”

“Y-yeah. Completely available.” Taehyung smiled, a gentle blush on his cheeks.

“Good.” Jeongguk grinned, nose scrunching adorably. He drummed a light rhythm on the steering wheel, turning the corner and pulling up in front of his office.

“Good.” Taehyung smiled shyly.

“Good.” Jeongguk’s heart sang in relief.

This was all very good.

***

Except there was one small problem.

“Why have we stopped here, Gukkie?” Taehyung asked. “Do you need something from your office?”

“Nope. I just need to think for a bit.” Jeongguk replied. “I’ve only been to your store once and Jimin was the one giving me the directions. I can’t really remember how to ge-”

“I could drive!” Taehyung squealed, clapping Yeonjun’s hands in excitement. “Yeonjunnie wouldn’t it be fun if Daddy drove!?!”

“Yeah!” Yeonjun grinned, “Daddy you drive the car!”

“Yay!” Taehyung said, smiling with his kid.“Gukkie can I-”

“No way!” Jeongguk said with a horrified expression on his face.

“Why not?” Taehyung pouted. “I have my license and everything!”

“Yeah but-”

“I drive all the time! I wanna drive your car! It’s big and shiny and cool Pleeeeaassseeeee!” He begged, eyes shining with hope.

Jeongguk’s heart stuttered, completely in awe at the beautiful person in front of him.

He was so precious.

“Taehyung I really don’t want you to drive my car. This is one of my favourites and it’s literally my pride and joy.” Jeongguk whined, “Why can’t you just give me directions?”

“Because there’s no fun in that, is there Jeonggukie?” He grinned. “Pleeeaassseee? I promise I'll be good for you. The best.” He whined, knowing full well how Jeongguk would take it.

Jeongguk gulped, his mind immediately running to dangerous places.

“Daddy is the best driver in the world!” Yeonjun added for good measure. Taehyung grinned and ran a hand through his fluffy hair.

“Thanks, Junnie.” He smiled. “Is that a yes then, Gukkie? I can drive us there?” Taehyung asked hopefully.

“F-fine.” Jeongguk relented, still flustered by Taehyung’s words. “But only because I wanna sit with Junnie. He's cooler than you, Tae.”

“Yeah!” Yeonjun whooped triumphantly.

Taehyung got out of the car and stood outside the driver’s door. He had a big grin on his face and if Jeongguk wasn’t shitting his pants in fear, he’d be enamoured at his smile. He got out of the car as well and laughed softly as Taehyung immediately slid into his seat. He kicked his legs in excitement
and marked the pedals with his feet. His fluffy blonde hair curled up slightly against the headrest. His hands gripped the red leather wheel with confidence and Jeongguk felt himself relax a bit as a warm smile spread across his face.

“Where’s the on button?” Taehyung asked with a serious expression.

Jeongguk’s smile dropped.

“I-you w-what?” Jeongguk gasped.
“I’m kidding, Gukkie! Just trust me, okay? I won’t crash your car.” Tae laughed, closing the door and watching as Jeongguk got in beside his son and buckled them both in.

It was cute.

They soon set off again, and everything was going well. Jeongguk was trying not to think about how he had entrusted the bubbly and carefree male with his £130k Maserati, but other than that, it was smooth sailing. He was having fun with Yeonjun and he could tell Taehyung was happy as they all conversed back and forth.

“Watching you drive is kinda hot.” Jeongguk mumbled to himself, but judging by the way Taehyung’s face turned a soft pink, Guk guessed he wasn’t quiet enough. Luckily, Yeonjun was too busy singing to himself to even hear what was going on, and Guk was greatful for that.

“We’re here!” Junnie said, wiggling in his seat in excitement as the multicoloured sweet shop came
into view. “Daddy we’re here!”

Taehyung laughed. “Yeah Junnie, I know. Relax a bit though, okay? You're making too much noise.”

“Mr Gukkie we’re here!” Yeonjun shouted at the exact same volume. He couldn’t wait to see BunBun again.

Jeongguk also laughed, ruffling the kid’s hair. It was long and messy and it reminded him of his own hair when he was a child.

Taehyung parked the car outside the shop and they all got out.

"I don't know how I feel, leaving my car on the side of the road." Jeongguk said dramatically.

"Shut up you big baby." Taehyung laughed, opening the door and leading them both inside.

"Junnie will you go upstairs and brush your teeth please?" Taehyung said.

"Okay Appa!" He agreed, running up the stairs and disappearing out of sight.

"Do you want a cookie, Jeonggukie?" Taehyung offered.

"Sure. I've never actually had anything from your shop, you know. I wanna see what it tastes like." He smiled, taking a bite of the gingersnap cookie.

He smiled.

"It's really good, Tae. You're so talented." Jeongguk smiled.

"T-thanks." Taehyung mumbled shyly.

"Ah shit." Taehyung groaned.

"What?" Jeongguk asked.

"You don't have any new clothes. Do you wanna borrow something of mine?" Tae offered.

Jeongguk thought for a moment.

The truth was, he was planning on going back to his office after dropping the two off, but this was basically an invitation to stay a bit longer. Who was he to refuse?

"Yeah, Tae. That'd be great." He accepted, following Taehyung up the stairs and into the housey bit of the shop.

“This is cute.” Jeongguk smiled, looking at Yeonjun’s framed pictures and drawings that lined the walls of the hallway. “And this is really, really cute.” Guk said, admiring a picture of Taehyung. He had blue hair which was parted nicely on his head. His eyes were shining and a bright smile was on his face. The bright lights of the Ferris wheel behind him were blurred into one giant rainbow mess and it only
served to make Taehyung stand out that much more. His hands were covered in white mittens and he held a small snowball in the palm of his hands. The snow falling around him was ever so gentle and made the whole image look that much softer. It was mesmerising.

“I didn’t know you had blue hair before. It's cute.”

Taehyung stopped and turned around to see what Guk was looking at. A strong blush rose to his cheeks and he squeaked in embarrassment, dragging Jeongguk by his muscular arm and into his bedroom.

“I-it’s not that cool.” Tae mumbled, “My friend took the picture and hung it up. I keep forgetting to take it down.” Taehyung said, flopping down onto his bed.
“Yeonjunnie when you’re done can you go and pick out an outfit for school? Daddy will help you with the zips and buttons, but just put some trousers and a shirt on, okay?” Tae called out.

A sound of comprehension came from the bathroom and Jeongguk and Taehyung smiled.

“What do you want to wear? You can just pick whatever you like from my wardrobe.” Taehyung said, “Nothing in there is designer or anything like that. They're just regular people clothes. I don’t own anything ceo worthy, sorry.” He apologised softly.

“Don’t be silly, Tae.” Jeongguk said kindly, “It doesn’t have to be designer for me to wear it. Clothes are clothes so as long as I’m not naked, what’s the problem? I’m honoured to wear something from your snazzy closet.” He smiled, holding up a tie with a bunch of smiley faces on it and laughing with
Tae. Guk picked up a plain black top and examined it.

“It’s very big on me.” Tae told him, “I never really wear it. Too skinny for it to look nice on me. You can wear it Guk.”

“You’re not too skinny, Tae. You're absolutely perfect the way you are.” Jeongguk smiled, taking off his shirt and standing there shirtless as he tried to figure out which way the top went.
Taehyung squeaked, covering his eyes slightly but still looking nonetheless.

Jeongguk’s muscles flexed
attractively and Taehyung’s mouth began to water slightly. God he was hot. His back muscles made butterflies swarm in Tae’s tummy, and his heart rate increased. Unfortunately, Jeongguk put the shirt on, but Taehyung wasn’t left too disappointed. The shirt was a
tight fit on Guk, contouring around his abs and biceps. He looked criminally good.

“What do you think, Tae?” Jeongguk asked, turining around and catching a flustered Taehyung off guard.

“G-good. It looks g-good on y-you, Jeonggukie. Good.” Tae babbled.

Guk smiled, completely oblivious, and turned back to find some trousers. Meanwhile, Taehyung got up to go help his son get dressed.

The bell from the shop below rang, and Taehyung cursed softly.

“Jeonggukie could you go and see who that is, please? Tell them I’ll be down in a minute!” Tae called.

Jeongguk complied, walking down the stairs and greeting the customer with a friendly smile.

“Hel-”

“Who are you?” The voice interrupted.

“W-what-”

“Where is Taehyung. Does he know you’re in his shop? Do I need to call the police?”

“Huh?”

“Oh I remember where I’ve seen you before. You're the ugly guy from the JJC company! Jeon Jeongguk. Why are you here? What are your relations with my fiancé?” The voice said rudely.

“Fiancé? Wait I’m not ugly!” Jeongguk defended. “And you’re the guy from the shitty company on Thursday! Bogum, wasn’t it?”

“Mr Park is better.” Bogum said.

“Good for you.” Jeongguk laughed condescendingly. He didn’t know a guy could be so stuck up. “Well if you’re here to buy some sweets then Tae-”

“I don’t like sweets. They're a waste of time.” Bogum interrupted.

Jeongguk was finna spin this guy’s jaw in a second.

“Well then I-”

“I want to see Taehyung. Where is he?”

“He’s upstairs with his son. Why do you ask?” Jeongguk qizzed.

“I’ll have you know; I'm supposed to take ‘his son’ to school. Not that it concerns you anyways.” Bogum spat.

“Well in that case, you can fuck right off back to Dickhead-land because you’re not needed here. I’ll be the one taking them to school.” Guk said triumphantly.

He certainly wasn’t a fan of this Bogum dude.

“How can Taehyung associate with such a barbarian?” Bogum said to himself loudly.

Jeongguk opened his mouth to argue but Bogum continued talking.

“Anyway, if Taehyung has arranged something else for his child then that’s fine. We still have an appointment together at 12:15pm, so it’s not like he’ll be spending time in your unfortunate presence for much longer of the day. I'll just meet with him later on. It wasn’t a pleasure seeing you here, but we have to see each other more until the deal is finalised, so I suppose I should leave on a good note. Your socks are mis-matched. Good day Mr Jeon.”

Bogum smirked, exiting the shop and leaving Jeongguk standing there dumbfounded.

Taehyung came down the stairs about a minute later.

“Where did the customer go, Gukkie?” Taehyung asked.

“He wasn’t-never mind.” Jeongguk stuttered, “Never mind at all, Tae.” he turned around and his heart melted at the sight in front of him.

Taehyung had a green polo shirt on and it was tucked nicely into his ripped denim jeans. His black shoes completed the fit, and honestly he was so cute to look at.

“You’re so fucking adorable.” Jeongguk breathed in awe.

“S-shut up.” Taehyung said, moving out the way as Yeonjun came down the stairs.

“Are we going now, Daddy?” Junnie asked, walking over to Jeongguk and taking his hand.

“Junnie, Mr Gukkie isn’t comi-”

“It’s okay, Tae.” Jeongguk interrupted, “I have an off day today so it’s no rush.”

“I have an off day too!” Taehyung smiled, “I wanted to go get icecream but I have something else I have to do inst-”

“Let’s do it.” Jeongguk blurted.

“Jeonggukie I cant-”

“Let’s go get icecream together, Tae. C’mon. We have to make the most of our youth. I doubt your plans are as important as icecream. Ditch your plans and come with me!” Jeongguk begged.

“O-Okay.” Taehyung smiled.

Sorry Bogum he thought.

“Yes!” Jeongguk cheered, “You won’t regret it. It'll be a date to remember.”

“D-date?” Taehyung said.

“Y-yeah. If you want to. No pressure or anything like that. I just thought it’d be ni-”

“It’s a date.” Taehyung grinned happily.

“Thank god, cuz I’ve been waiting to take your cute ass out on a date for a looonggg time.” Jeongguk laughed, taking Taehyung’s hand in his other one and leading both Kims out the door and to the car. Everything was finally falling into place and he couldn’t be happier.

He was going on a date with Taehyung!

He was going to make sure that absolutely nothing went wrong.
