"What should I call you, uncle?" Little Ji-hu inquired, raising his head and looking at the face of the man on whose lap he was sitting.

"You can call me by any name you like." The elder smiled at Ji-hu's cuteness.

"I call you TaeTae then." He giggled, flashing his boxy grin, which was somewhere similar to his favorite idol.

"And what shall I call you, young man?" Taehyung responded with a question.

"Enough gelling up with my son. Can you just get out of here and let us have our family time?" Jia tried her best to not sound rude, but she failed at it miserably. She hated the man and his presence wasn't helping at all. Moreover, Ji-hu was so whipped for Taehyung that Jia was worried about whether or not her son would let Taehyung go.

"Eomma! Don't be rude. TaeTae is cute." Ji-hu stood up on Taehyung's lap, who was protectively holding the little one from his waist. Ji-hu quickly threw his tiny arms around Taehyung's neck and hugged him tightly, as if trying to shield him from his mother's wrath.

"TaeTae, where you live?" Ji-hu asked while tightening his grip around the aforementioned male's neck.

"Baby, come to your Uncie! That's so not fair." Yoongi stopped his nephew from asking further questions and tried to blackmail the other while pouting cutely, which amused Jungkook and Taehyung.

Well, it surprised Taehyung more because this was the first time he saw his Suga hyung act so cutely. Jungkook had been visiting them for quite some time and was trying to get used to Yoongi's sweetness around Ji-hu. Let me reiterate: he was still trying.

"See! Kookie and I came here just to meet you and here you're clinging to this rudie Taehyung. Not fair, my baby." Yoongi pouted harder. Ji-hu let out a sigh like a grandpa and jumped from Taehyung's lap to his uncle's.

"I wonder what you and Eomma do with ouwt me?!" The little boy shook his head like an elder before continuing. "She cry at night aftel I slweep. I wuv you Eomma. No cry!" He sighed genuinely this time and shook his head cutely.

Jia widened her eyes at the sudden confession from her son. She always assumed Ji-hu must have been asleep, so she would cradle him in her arms and cry as she reflected on how miserable her life had become. How mistaken she was in thinking that the small boy would never listen to her mother's cries.

"Kookie, plomish me. No Eomma cry?" He inquired innocently, tilting his head a little and staring Jungkook in the eyes with innocence.

"Of course, baby! I won't let your Eomma cry. Don't worry much, my little boy." Jungkook flashed his bunny smile to the boy as an assurance. Taehyung tightened his fist, poking his inner cheek with his tongue and staring daggers at the Maknae. He had no idea what was going on or how Jungkook and Jia were related, but it surely made him jealous.

Yoongi was pleased with Ji-hu and Jungkook's bonding. He is the right one for my sister, he thought.

Jia turned her head towards Taehyung, and the latter's expression made her smile a little, though she didn't show it.

She suddenly remembered how Taehyung got jealous of his bodyguard a long time back, but those were the days because of which she was suffering at the moment.

Jia shook her head a little and looked at her son who was the reason for her survival. She chuckled at how he was playing with the shiny rings on Yoongi's fingers, forgetting Taehyung. She was thankful that Yoongi wore rings that he had hardly worn before.

Taehyung stood up awkwardly when he felt like an uninvited guest. "I shall leave now. I have some work to do," he spoke, turning to face Jungkook. He hoped he could have been in Jungkook's place, but he couldn't. He had no right to even wish for it. Or did he have the right?

"TaeTae, can I take a pic? I not know if I see you again. Pwease~" Ji-hu showed his doe eyes as he looked at the man who was standing on his feet by now.

Ji-hu made grabby hands. Taehyung giggled at the boy's cuteness and reached down to take him up. "Sure, baby! Come here."

"Eomma, you click pic." Ji-hu declared. Jia decided not to over-react and do as her son asked her to. He was a smart boy for his age and she had no answers to the questions he might ask once they went back home.

"Sure, my baby!" She took out her phone and began clicking pictures of her son and his favorite idol, who was once her favorite idol.

Once the pictures were clicked, Taehyung gave a long kiss on Ji-hu's cheeks and gave him back to his mother because he was afraid of Yoongi and also he was upset or more like- jealous.

"Bye baby! I'll miss you!" He spoke while wearing his mask and waving at the boy. Before walking out of the cafe he glared at Jungkook one last time.

Jungkook would be lying if he said he wasn't scared of the gaze Taehyung gave one last time before leaving. Taehyung had always treated Jungkook as if he were his own brother, and he looked after him after he joined his Agency. Because Taehyung was the first to join, he was in charge of making Jungkook feel at ease. As a result, Jungkook grew accustomed to Taheyung's love and care, as he pretended to be his Kookie's genuine older brother. But Jungkook was now too terrified to confront the elder because he had no idea what was going on. He thought that they were on this little family outing, but it turned out to be something serious now.
