It's a bright, summer morning and Yoongi finds himself seated at the table discussing plans for his next piece with Namjoon, his fellow friend and colleague. Maybe he should have seen it coming, but he honestly didn't. He didn't think the question would come up this soon at least, considering how young Taehyung was. But it does.
"Appa, where do babies come from?"
The question has Namjoon choking on his tea and thumping his chest like an angry gorilla at a zoo.
"You trying to save yourself from choking or kill yourself by breaking your ribs?" Yoongi asks as he casts an unimpressed look at Namjoon.
The younger looks up at his through tear-filled eyes and chokes out a "shut up."
Yoongi sighs. He doesn't even want to imagine what will happen to Namjoon when he has kids of his own and gets such questions thrown at him.
He turns to the toddler, who stands there with his teddy bear clutched in his hands, patiently awaiting his father's response.
See, in such a situation, Yoongi had two choices. He could either choose to answer the question or ignore it and distract the kid as most parents chose to do.
But the thing is, children are curious and ask questions to learn how the world works. The answers to those questions are of importance though because those answers stick with them as they grow. That's what helps them grow.
Distracting Taehyung would be easy but the question would pop up again someday and ignoring Taehyung's question or leaving it unanswered wouldn't help at all.
"Babies come from heaven," Yoongi answers.
"Heaven? How, Appa?"
"The God that created the earth, the trees and the sky, is the same God that created you and all of us."
"Appa, how did I reach here from heaven? Did God bring me here? Did you meet God?"
Yoongi smiled softly.
"When God made you, he already had a plan for you. He decided that you, Taehyung, would be a part of my family. He blessed your mum and placed you in her womb where you would thrive. God decided that me and your mum would be your parents."
Taehyung's eyes were wide.
"Appa, can I meet God?"
"Of course you can. Just as I have," Yoongi places a kiss on Taehyung's forehead, "what will you tell God when you meet him?"
"I want to say thank you to him."
Yoongi was surprised.
"You want to thank him?"
"For giving me the best appa and eomma in this world," Taehyung declared and hugged his father with a giggle.
Yoongi feels his heart swell with pride as he holds the younger boy against him.
"My sweet boy."
Namjoon sneakily takes a picture of the father-son duo, a wide grin on his face.
The end!
