"Baby, what's going on with you? This is just an easy theory. Look here and try to understand, okay?" Taehyung said gently, though Jungkook could tell he was being a bit strict as he taught her. She pouted, nodding, realizing today just how serious and focused "Teacher Taehyung" could be.

It had been a stressful evening for Jungkook. Her first semester exams were coming up, and the pressure was already weighing on her. With all the stress, her brain seemed to just shut down, making even the simplest theory feel impossible to understand. Frustrated, Jungkook had whined her way over to Taehyung, hoping for help. He was a little amused, watching her struggle with something so basic after she had solved much tougher problems with ease before.

Jungkook listened closely as Taehyung patiently explained the theory to her, his deep, soothing voice wrapping around her like a warm blanket, easing the tension that had been clouding her mind all day. As he carefully repeated the steps, her brain started to clear, and she finally began to understand. Taehyung's dedication to helping her—even with the simplest theory—made her heart swell with affection.

But as Taehyung continued, her focus started to shift from the content of his words to the captivating way he spoke. She found herself lost in the gentle curve of his lips, the subtle intensity in his eyes, and the soft but strong way he carried himself. Everything about him seemed mesmerizing, even in such a simple, everyday moment.

Feeling a sudden rush of mischief, Jungkook leaned a little closer to him, pressing herself against his side. Taehyung, still in full teacher mode, didn't even notice. Smiling to herself, she turned toward him, wrapping her arms around his waist and placing her chin on his shoulder. Leaning in, she planted a soft, playful kiss right on his jawline.

Taehyung froze mid-sentence, his eyes going wide as he stared at her in surprise. Jungkook let out a giggle, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and reached up to squish his cheeks between her hands, tilting her head as she teased him, "Aww, Taetae, you're so cute when you're shocked! Look at you, my cutie!"

Taehyung blinked, still processing her unexpected kiss, before breaking into a grin. "Oh, so you think I'm cute, huh?" he asked, his tone deep and playful as he raised an eyebrow. "Trying to distract your teacher, are you?"

Jungkook giggled even harder, nodding shamelessly. "Maybe... you're just too adorable!" she teased, giving his cheeks another gentle squish.

Taehyung's eyes sparkled with mischief as he shook his head. "Alright, you asked for it!" he announced, pulling her onto his lap with one swift motion. Before she could even react, he launched a full-blown tickle attack, his fingers dancing over her sides and making her squirm and squeal with laughter.

"Ahhh! No! Taehyung!" she cried between fits of giggles, trying to push his hands away. "Stop it! Tickling monster!"

"Oh, so I'm a tickling monster now?" Taehyung asked with an exaggerated, playful growl. He paused for a moment, pretending to loom over her menacingly. "Alright, if I'm the tickling monster, then I've gotta finish my job!"

With that, he leaned down, "nibbling" playfully on her cheek as if he were "eating" her up. "Nom nom nom! The tickling monster is here to eat you up!" he teased, his playful growls and exaggerated chomping noises making her laugh even harder.

Jungkook squealed, wiggling in his hold, her face turning bright red from laughing so much. "Nooo, Taetae! Not my cheeks! They're mine!"Jungkook squealed, wiggling in his hold, her face turning bright red from laughing so much. "Nooo, Taetae! Not my cheeks! They're mine!"

"Who said that, huh? They are absolutely mine to cherish and love," Taehyung replied, tightening his grip around her waist and smiling down at her with playful determination. Jungkook giggled, her eyes sparkling as she looked up at him, and teased, "Really?"

"Really," he said firmly, giving her an exaggeratedly serious look. "These cheeks..." he reached up, pinching them gently, "are my favorite things in the world." He brushed his thumb over her cheek, his gaze softening as he admired her.

Jungkook scrunched up her nose, still grinning. "So, you're saying you'll keep them forever?" she asked, her tone filled with innocence and playful curiosity.

Taehyung chuckled and leaned in close, his voice dropping to a soft murmur. "Forever and ever, my love," he whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "And I'll protect every smile, every giggle, and every blush that comes with them."

Jungkook's giggles softened, her expression shifting to one of pure adoration. She melted into his embrace, her arms wrapping around his neck as she leaned her forehead against his. "Then I guess my cheeks are in good hands," she whispered, closing her eyes as she smiled, her heart fluttering at his words.

Taehyung gently brushed his hand along her back, his smile widening. "They definitely are," he promised, pulling her even closer. "And don't worry—I'll remind you of that every single day."

"By kissing it?" Jungkook teased, "yes," and she was pulled into a heated kiss.

They pulled away from the kiss, and Taehyung looked at Jungkook with a soft, loving smile that made her heart flutter. Just then, a light sound of rain tapping against the windows filled the air. Jungkook's eyes widened, and a huge bunny-like smile appeared on her face. She squealed in excitement and bounced on his lap, "Taetae!! It's raining!"

Taehyung chuckled and nodded, amused by her joy. But as soon as Jungkook saw the rain, she immediately shifted on his lap, her face full of determination. "Ahh... leave me, I want to go outside!" she whined, pouting and looking up at him with big, pleading eyes.

Taehyung gently cupped her cheeks, looking at her lovingly. "But you'll catch a fever, baby love. And your semesters are coming, hmm?" he reasoned.

Jungkook puffed her cheeks out and threw a little tantrum. "Noo~~! I want to play in the rain!" she whined.

Taehyung shook his head firmly. "No, sweetheart," he said softly but firmly.

Jungkook's eyes glistened as she gave him her last weapon—her puppy eyes, combined with a cute pout and a soft baby voice. "Pleeasee!! Taetae, let Koo Koo play in the rain," she begged, her lips slightly glossed and pouty.

Taehyung paused, staring at her for a moment, his expression softening. He sighed, sliding the chair back to give her some space. "But only for half an hour, not more than that, okay?"

Jungkook squealed loudly, her face lighting up with joy. She jumped from his lap and dashed towards the door. "Okiee-dokiee!!" she called out as she ran into the garden, ready to enjoy the rain. Jungkook jumped right into a water puddle, splashing water everywhere with a loud giggle. Taehyung stood in the garden, watching his adorable bunny jump around with pure joy as the raindrops fell on her small frame. She was so carefree, laughing and twirling, completely lost in the moment.

With her cheeks flushed from excitement, Jungkook turned toward Taehyung and yelled, "Taetae, see! I'm a water bunny, hop hop!" She hopped around, splashing more water, making Taehyung chuckle at her playful antics.

"Careful, baby love!" Taehyung called out, trying to sound a bit more serious, but his voice was filled with amusement. Jungkook gave him a thumbs up in response, her smile wide and bright.

Taehyung shook his head, a soft smile playing on his lips as he watched her carefree enjoyment. But then, his gaze shifted and his eyes landed on Jungkook's shirt—his own white office shirt, which was far too big for her frame. The shirt clung to her body like a second skin, the hem falling just above her thighs. The sight made Taehyung's heart race a little faster. Recently, Jungkook had developed the habit of wearing his clothes around the house, stealing them whenever she could, and today was no different.

She looked so cute and small in his oversized shirt, her movements quick and lively as she hopped around. Taehyung couldn't help but admire how effortlessly adorable she was, his gaze lingering on her as she continued her little water bunny adventure. "Baby, I am going to make dinner. Come after fifteen minutes, okay?" Taehyung called out, his voice rising over the sound of the rain. He was standing by the garden door, watching Jungkook still lost in her playful joy.

Jungkook, completely absorbed in the rain and her little adventure, barely heard him. She was lying on the wet grass, her arms outstretched as she felt the cool rain on her face, her heart light and free. She nodded absentmindedly, not really paying attention to what he said.

Taehyung smiled at her carefree spirit, his heart swelling with love for his cute, little water bunny. He was used to Jungkook getting lost in the moment, her world filled with nothing but pure happiness, but he couldn't help but feel a bit protective over her getting too soaked.

"Don't stay out too long, okay?" he added gently, his voice softer this time, as he turned to head inside to prepare their dinner.

Jungkook, still unaware of his concern, let out a squeal of joy as she rolled in the grass, the rain continuing to pour around her. She was in her own world, enjoying every second of her playful rain moment.

Taehyung returned to the kitchen with a light bounce in his step, humming a soft, random melody as he set to work. The warmth in his heart spilled over into every little movement, a contented smile tugging at his lips as he moved around, preparing dinner for himself and his baby love.

He started chopping vegetables, the rhythm of his knife tapping the board matching the tune he was humming. Every so often, he'd pause, glancing toward the window to catch a glimpse of Jungkook outside, her figure barely visible through the rainy blur. She was still lying on the grass, completely absorbed in her little world, and he chuckled softly to himself.

"She's like a little rain fairy," he murmured with a grin, thinking of how the rain seemed to bring out her playful side. He added a sprinkle of spices to the pot, the comforting scent filling the kitchen as he stirred, occasionally tapping his foot to his own melody.

Once everything was simmering, Taehyung took a moment to wipe his hands, a fond smile still on his face. He poured a glass of warm tea, setting it aside for Jungkook to warm up with when she finally came in.

As he set the table, he couldn't help but whisper to himself, "You're going to be all chilly and drenched, my little rain bunny." He chuckled at the thought, shaking his head as he lovingly folded a napkin by her plate, knowing that even these small acts would make her smile. With a mischievous grin, Taehyung quickly darted upstairs and grabbed his small camera, his heart thumping with excitement at the thought of capturing this perfect moment. Quietly, he made his way back down and slipped outside to the edge of the garden, staying hidden as he lifted the camera to his eye.

Jungkook was sprawled across the wet grass, her face turned up toward the falling rain with pure joy radiating from her expression. She was completely oblivious to Taehyung's presence, laughing as raindrops tickled her cheeks and made her hair cling messily around her face. Taehyung's eyes softened at the sight—she was so beautiful, so carefree in her own little world.

Click. He took a shot, his smile widening as he checked the preview on the camera. The image captured her mid-laugh, her eyes bright and cheeks flushed, a true "water bunny" moment.

Unable to resist, he snapped a few more photos: her feet splashing in a puddle, her hands outstretched to catch the raindrops, and her adorable, childlike grin. Every photo was a memory of her playfulness that he could look back on whenever he missed her smile.

Satisfied with his secret collection, he slipped quietly back inside, his heart full and warm. He already knew these photos would have a special place in his album, capturing a piece of her innocent joy that he cherished more than anything.

Time slipped like sand from hand and half-hour slipped, but Jungkook was nowhere inside the warm, cosy house, she was still playing, while Taehyung was busy with a new case. He stretched his arm and sigh at the sweet pain and looked at the time, his eyes widened as he took in the time, he hastily went down stairs. As Taehyung approached her, Jungkook was still blissfully splashing around, her cheeks rosy and lips tinged with a reddish-blue from the chill. Taehyung's brows knitted with worry as he took in her soaked form and the cold, shivering she hadn't even noticed.

"Baby, come inside, it's been half an hour already," he called firmly.

But Jungkook, too lost in her world, didn't respond. Concerned, Taehyung sighed and waded into the garden himself, ignoring the rain soaking through his clothes. Reaching her side, he wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her up like she weighed nothing. Jungkook yelped in surprise, grabbing his wrist to steady herself.

"Taetae!" she squeaked, trying to turn and flash him a grin.

Taehyung didn't budge. Instead, he gave her a light but firm smack on her soaked bottom. "Did you hear me calling you?" he asked, his deep voice low and stern. "What did I say about staying out too long?"

Jungkook pouted, looking down as she wriggled in his hold. "But...but I was having fun," she mumbled, attempting her usual puppy eyes.

This time, Taehyung wasn't swayed. "Fun or not, you're freezing out here, and you need to take care of yourself." He swatted her bottom again, this time a bit more firmly, and she winced slightly, then fell silent, recognizing that he wasn't going to let her charm her way out of it.

Without another word, Taehyung carried her inside, holding her close to his chest as she instinctively snuggled into him for warmth, trembling and pressing herself against his body. He could feel her shivering, her small form seeking his heat in response to the chill.

Once they were inside, Taehyung placed her down gently but kept a firm grip on her shoulders, inspecting her face with concern. "Look at you, you're as pale as a ghost," he murmured, brushing his warm fingers over her icy cheeks. "Your lips are turning red and blue—do you see how cold you are?"

Jungkook gave him a guilty smile, teeth chattering as she tried to play it off. "I-I'm fine, really—"

"Enough," Taehyung interrupted, wrapping her tightly in a large towel and guiding her toward the warmth of the couch. "You're trembling like a leaf," he muttered, kneeling down to rub her hands between his palms to restore her warmth. She looked up at him shyly, but her cheeks flushed as his stern gaze softened.

"Stay here. I'll make something hot for you," he whispered, stroking her damp hair back gently, his voice now filled with gentle concern. Taehyung walked back into the room with a steaming mug of tea, holding it out to her like it was a lifeline. Jungkook accepted it eagerly, wrapping both hands around the warm cup and taking a tentative sip, looking for all the world like a bunny nibbling on her favorite treat. Taehyung's stern gaze didn't waver as he stood there with one hand on his waist, eyes narrowed slightly in that classic "I told you so" look.

She peeked up at him, sensing his disapproval, and flashed him a sheepish smile. Taehyung sighed, shaking his head, but softened as he grabbed a hand towel and knelt beside her. Without a word, he turned on the heater and began gently drying her damp hair, his fingers working carefully through each strand as he focused on her comfort despite his earlier frustration.

"You really don't listen sometimes, do you?" he muttered, still using that deep, steady voice. "Playing out there until you're freezing, even when I told you it was time to come in."

Jungkook pouted, lowering her head as her lips curved into a tiny pout. She looked up at him, eyes wide, her expression so adorably apologetic that he almost caved instantly. "I'm sorry, Taetae," she whispered, her voice sweet and pleading. "I just... I just got so happy with the rain, I didn't want it to end."

Taehyung's gaze softened, though he tried to keep his stern demeanor. "That's not going to work this time, sweetheart," he replied, though he couldn't help a slight smile tugging at his lips. "You need to take care of yourself, bunny."

Jungkook reached out and gently tugged on his sleeve, flashing her big puppy eyes and biting her lip in the most charming way she could muster. "Pretty please, Taetae?" she asked in a small voice, giving him her most irresistible pout.

Taehyung couldn't resist her, and his resolve crumbled. He chuckled, reaching over to gently squish her cheeks. "You're too cute for your own good, you know that?" he murmured, brushing his thumb over her pouty lips. He wrapped the towel around her, pulling her close, and kissed her forehead.

"I have you, so I don't worry about myself, because my hubby will take care of koo koo, right?" Jungkook asked in her sweetest baby tone, her big eyes looking up at him expectantly.

Taehyung couldn't help but melt at her innocence. He cooed, his voice soft and affectionate. "Of course, hubby is here to take care of his koo koo, especially when she's being a brat." He chuckled at the teasing tone in his voice.

Jungkook's lips immediately pushed into a pout, her brows furrowing as she corrected him. "Koo is not a brat," she huffed, crossing her arms in mock defiance.

Taehyung smirked at her cute display of attitude. He placed the towel aside, leaned in, and effortlessly swept her into his arms in a bridal carry. With a playful grin, he darted toward their room. "Whatever helps you to sleep at night, my love," he teased, his voice full of amusement as he carried her, his heart swelling with affection for the little bundle of energy in his arms.

Jungkook couldn't help but giggle, relaxing into his embrace as they made their way to their room, her pout fading into a satisfied smile.
