"Taehyungie, meet Jeon Jeongguk."

The pretty blonde smiled and waved at Jeongguk, the small boy in his arms waved at him too.

"Nice to meet you, Jeongguk. I'm Kim Taehyung and this is my pride and joy, Kim Yeonjun." He smiled. Yeonjun was clinging onto Taehyung's chest and snuggled his face into his neck.

Jeongguk smiled softly.

"Nice to meet you too, Taehyung. Hello Yeonjun." Jeon said playfully.

The toddler turned his head and stretched his hand out towards Jeongguk in some strange greeting, and everyone in the room collectively cooed.

Yeonjun yawned.

"Awe Junnie, you must be tired." Taehyung cooed, kissing his little boy's head and Yeonjun pushed his face into his neck, looking for comfort. Taehyung softly patted his back in a calming manner, relaxing his child.

"M'gonna go put Junnie into bed now." He said, gently rocking him side to side. "I'll be right back."

Carefully, Taehyung shuffled towards the stairs, shooting a smile aimed at Jeongguk, before going upstairs.

********

Why the fuck am I so awkward? Tae cringed as he turned the corner.

"NiCe To mEeT yOu JeOnGgUk Im KiM tAeHyUnG" he mocked, trying not to groan in frustration.

"I've only gone and fucked it up with the literal sex demon standing in my shop." He sighed.

Taehyung stood in front of Yeonjun's room; a little cozy space with cream coloured walls and glow in the dark stars splattered around. His bed was navy blue with stuffies and teddies to keep Yeonjun company as he slept peacefully.

The young male pushed open the dark blue door and entered his son's room, gently laying him on the bed, before searching for his pyjamas.

"Ah-ha!" He exclaimed in excitement, as he closed the chest of drawers. In his hands, Taehyung held little black pj bottoms and a stripy black top to match. Taehyung scooped up Yeonjun who was overwhelmed with sleepiness, and placed him on his lap.

Carefully he dressed his son and lay him back down on his bed so he could sleep comfortably with his plushies. But Yeonjun whined and kept fidgeting, so Taehyung simply sighed and lay beside his son. Just this once, he smiled, not wanting his kid to get used to it. He was a big boy afterall.

He cradled his son and kissed him on the nose, petting his hair to get him to sleep easy.

"Appa." Junnie sleepily mumbled, curling further into Taehyung's warm embrace.

Taehyung cooed and kissed his head.

5 minutes passed and Taehyung was sure his son was sleeping well, so he gently detached himself. He slipped BunBun into Yeonjun's arms and smiled softly when his child hugged the bunny.

He jumped down the stairs - 3 at a time, somehow landing gracefully on the shop floor.

"Right." He grinned, "where were we?"

"Jeongguk's gone." Yoongi said.

Taehyung's smile dropped.

"Oh."

"Yeah. He got a call about 2 minutes ago. Work and stuff."

"Honestly how rude!" Jimin interjected, "he told me that we couldn't have the sleepover anymore. What a prick! He's literally too invested in his work. 'Oh JiMiN iM tHe cEo I hAvE tO dO a LoT oF wOrK'. Yeah, I get that, but it wouldn't kill him to take a break, before the work kills him!"

"Yeah." Yoongi agreed. "He's decent when he's not shoving work down his throat. Hell, I might even go as far as to say he's pleasant to be around, but only when work is the last thing on his mind."

"Oh." Taehyung said, "he's a workaholic?"

"No. He's much worse." Jimin said blatantly. "He doesn't even give romance a chance. How upsetting is that! It's kinda sad though because I totally ship you two already." He hummed.

Taehyung went brighed red and let out an awkward cough.

"I-"

"Jesus Minnie, you can't say stuff like that!" Yoongi scolded, "Taehyung's too awkward to handle things like that!"

"S-shut up Yoongi!" Tae blushed. "And anyways it doesn't matter if Jimin ships us two because we didn't exactly have a proper conversation to even say we get along well. All I did was embarrass myself and then put Junnie to bed."

"Ahh but Taehyung you should've seen how he looked at you and Yeonjun. Jeongguk may be a large dick, but he has a soft spot for family. He was looking at you two with heart eyes and it was absolutely adorable. Motherfucker thought he was slick!" Jimin cackled.

"Yeah, Tae's right Jimin. We don't have much evidence that Jeongguk and Taehyung have any chemistry. They kind of need to have a proper conversation first." Yoongi said.

"Uggggh. Let's just leave it." Taehyung sighed. "Me and Yeonjun are fine as a lil duo. What more could we possibly need?"

******

Taehyung was pushing the shopping trolley down the aisles, Yeonjun strapped securely into the little baby seat inside. He was bouncing happily, munching away on his biscuit.

The cart was filled with unhealthy looking things, like chocolate and popping candy, and everyone was giving Taehyung disapproving looks. He was deeply regretting his previous decision to come outside and use up his coupons.

"Shouldve ordered online." Taehyung thought bitterly, not liking the judgemental stares. "I'm not gonna fucking eat it all!"

He couldn't exactly wear a sign on his head that said 'Don't worry everyone, I'm not addicted, I just own a sweet shop!', so much to his despair, Taehyung just had to grin and bear it.

"At least Jeongguk isn't here to judge me."

He sighed and loaded butter into the cart, trying to ignore Yeonjun who kept whining for juice.

"Yeonjunnie I'm going to cry in a minute. Please just drink the water instead. I'm really not in the mood to deal with this. Any more nonsense from you and we'll be having peas for dinner." Taehyung begged. He was so exhausted and he just wanted to curl into a ball and cry.

But Yeonjun wasn't having it, and dropped the plastic cup of water out of the trolley and onto the floor. Taehyung sniffled, trying to not cry in public, to keep the little dignity he had left.

He bent down to pick the sippy cup off the floor but a large hand beat him to it.
Bleary eyed, he looked at the person's face, and took note of the dark hair and black business suit.

"B-Bogum hyung!" Taehyung sobbed.

"Hey Taehyungie, it's alright. Don't cry." The voice said, bringing the small male into his embrace.

"Oh Bogummie, I'm so fed up." Taehyung said, shaking and sniffing. "Everyone is so judgemental and Yeonjun's being a brat and I just-"

"S'alright Tae." Bogum consoled. "Let's just get everything you need, yeah? Talk about this at home."

"Mkay." The younger sniffed.

"You take the trolley and I'll deal with Yeonjun, okay? Did you bring your car?"

Taehyung shook his head.

"Then we'll be in my car, yeah? Just get what you need and take my card." Bogum kissed Taehyung on the head and hauled Yeonjun out of the cart. Yeonjun whined and reached out for Tae, but Bogum beat him to it.

"You had your chance, mister. And you blew it. So now daddy is going to have some alone time, and you can't go."

Yeonjun pouted and tears brimmed at his eyes.

"Daddy." He whined.

"Go with Bo for now, Junnie. We'll talk when I come back." Taehyung said.

He watched Bogum and Yeonjun leave the shop and Taehyung made a mental note to make a spare batch of cookies for his friend.

He was so grateful for Bogum.
