"oppah!" the toddler squeals, smacking her hands on the temporary wall that separates her from her brother. she jumps on her seat, cackling excitedly and stands up to peek at her brother on the other side, although it's still too tall for her little body.

"sit down, baby." the mother chuckles, patting her daughter's back as she squeals again, clapping her hands for taehyung has lowered the dividing screen between the seats.

lily leans towards him with arms extended over the little wall and taehyung lifts her off bringing her to his lap and attacks her face with a bunch of smooches. the baby squirms and laughs louder in her high pitched voice, having the time of her life with the best seat neighbour she could ask for. sunhee smiles at them, shaking her head and snaps a photo, which taehyung notices just like always, giving her a look.

"what? you guys look cute." she shrugs then presses the button to raise up the partition again. "now keep it down. i don't wanna hear any complains from other passengers, okay? and i'll be taking a nap. if lily needs anything just wake me up."

"cool." taehyung hums, laying back on his seat after reclining it a bit, letting his baby sister sit on his stomach while she plays with something on the wall beside them, occasionally glancing out of the window and gasping in surprise everytime she does.

they're flying to paris for a vacation, since jungkook whined about his family not going anywhere ever, and how his friends were going out this summer. sunhee had tried to explain him that his friends' parents taking off and his mamma taking off were as different as day and night. most of them aren't a ceo of one of the largest automobile company nor do they have half the political and social influence that sunhee has, neither are any of them a single parent.

however, her twelve-year-old boy didn't understand any of that and refused to eat until mamma planned a good vacation for him. so, sunhee called her managers and head of the househelp, asking for suggestions regarding holiday destinations with a baby, a tween, and two teenagers. after talking for an hour, she settled with the prime location in france, her main focus being the much worthy disneyland visit with all of her kids.

her managers took care of the reservations and accomodations that were needed, laying down a full fledged week-long vacation to paris. sunhee kept the news a surprise for the kids until she had made sure she got the flight tickets and had sorted out most of the work at the company. she can take online meetings from paris, too, and the rest her managers are capable of handling.

when jungkook came to know about the surprise, he couldn't have been happier, hugging sunhee as tight as he could and chanted repeatedly how she was the best mamma in the world. sunhee just smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the head, telling him start packing his things for his well-deserved vacation.

taehyung was happy as well, too elated for it to be lily on her first disneyland trip. he checked out all the best places that they needed to visit there, ordered a new camera and clothes for himself and his siblings, especially lily for he had declared that his princess won't repeat a single outfit.

jimin, unlike his brothers, was a little skeptical about the timing of the trip for he preferred not to miss his classes and practices. and even though it was a summer vacation for the rest, jimin still had taken a few extra classes alongside his soccer and martial art practices for a good recommendation letter and college application letter. sunhee had told him to relax for a while and use this trip to enjoy his young days a little, to which jimin had just smiled and hugged her tightly.

now they're flying to paris with two bodyguards, and one of sunhee's managers just to be on the safe side.

taehyung scrolls through his phone, not minding as lily slips down from his lap and looks around the space with her curious round eyes. her one hand is her mouth as she suckles on her thumb, before setting out for a little adventure across the aisle to her eldest brother, who's busy watching a movie. taehyung's head quickly lifts up to check that no one's passing by and watches the toddler waddle towards jimin on the seat just across the aisle.

she giggles against her hand, moving the other one in the air and jumps beside jimin's seat, drawing attention from him. he smiles down at her, quickly lowering his hand to hold her, in case somebody passes and bumps into her tiny body. lily babbles out gibberish, clutching on jimin's index finger and dances on the aisle for a while, grinning and waving at a man behind jimin's seat.

"hello, little angel." the man cooes, extending his hand for lily to shake it, however the baby just giggles sheepishly and turns to hide her face in her brother's arm. jimin looks back, exchanging a smile with the man, who's now holding out a cookie for lily. "she likes cookies?"

"she does." jimin glances at his sister, moving his arm to have her in front of the man and pats her back. "look, uncle has a cookie for lily."

"here." the man shows her the packed chocochip cookie that everyone was given with a beverage as a light snack before lunch. lily steps towards him, accepting the cookie and stares at it with her curious eyes, trying to eat it right through the plastic packaging since the picture on the wrapper depicts a cookie.

"cookie!" she chirps.

"we have to open it first, princess." jimin says and tears open pack for her, "say thank you to uncle for the cookie."

"cookie, u'cle?" she tilts her head at the man, offering him his cookie back, which makes him laugh silently and shake his head.

"thank you so much for asking, little one. you can have it."

"cookie fo' baby..." she mumbles as she goes near her brother again and leans onto his arm, nibbling on the cookie.

"say thank you." jimin tells her again, stroking her head.

"t'ank-oo." she waves at the man with a cute smile, and he waves back. lily walks upto jimin's legs, standing in between and leans back on his thigh, looking around, while he has stretched his legs out so that she won't be able to leave towards the aisle again.

"oppa?" lily tugs on his pants, staring up at jimin, earning a soft hum as he lifts her off the floor and makes her sit on his lap. she hands him the half eaten cookie and turns to stand on the side of the seat, peeking over at a sleeping jungkook.

"you don't wanna finish this?" he asks, wrapping arm around her little waist and pulls her down again, hoping to feed the cookie to her. but lily whines in response, shaking her head in protest, mumbling out a 'no' for him.

"do you wanna sleep?" he asks as she faces him now, standing on his thighs holding his shoulders.

"oppa!" she giggles, swaying and dancing with him, suddenly happy again about something. jimin chuckles at her, pulling her down and pecks her lips a few times.

"let's get some sleep, hm?" he whispers softly before standing up and leaves lily on the seat, as he heads over to his mother's seat and gets lily's sippy cup with some sweet milk meant for babies. once he's back, he takes off her shoes and loosens her clothes a little to make sure she can sleep comfortably and reclines his chair back, stretching himself nicely on the seat.

lily lays on his lap, while he leaves the movie and admires his baby sister instead, smiling fondly as lily quietly suckles out her milk, frequently moving her arms and legs towards jimin's face, giggling every time she gets to kick him. the princess treatment she gets is so top notch that she doesn't even bother to hold her cup herself, for jimin is there is do that too, holding the cup in place or else she might spill a few drops on her cheek and clothes, and even on him.

"so much for my little baby, huh?" he chuckles, leaning down and nuzzles his nose against lily's, then sighs softly kissing her forehead. "i just know you're gonna become the cutest girl when you grow up. the cutest and the most spoiled." he chuckles to himself, "y'know why?"

lily's now staring at her side, scratching the side of the seat with her nails, when suddenly her eyes land on her socks. they're cute hello kitty themed, making her lift up her leg and reach out to hold the end of sock. she's lost in her own little world, while jimin holds his in his lap, feeding her so she can take a good nap.

"because," he whispers it to her like a secret, cradling her close to his chest. "my lily has three oppas who love her more than anything, and a beautiful mamma who takes care of her babies."

"mumma..." she repeats, letting go of the cup and grins at jimin, pointing at their mother across the aisle. "mamma dere!"

"yes, mamma's sleeping there." he nods. "is lily ready to sleep now?"

"lily s'eepy, oppa."

"alright then, lily can close her. oppa will put her to sleep." he says, laying down properly as he turns to his side, giving lily all the room she needs to stretch and roll while sleeping. he pats her side slowly, humming softly for her and watches how her eyelids get heavy soon, taking her to a fantastic world her imagination.

• • •

"yes, baby. mamma's here." sunhee pats her daughter's back, trying to calm her down for she just woke up from her nap, crying. there's another toddler a few seats away who started crying suddenly, which woke lily up and she just joined the other baby wailing as well.

she stands up from her seat, not wanting to disturb the rest of the passengers for she understands how annoying it can be to have a baby crying while one tries to sleep. she glances over at jimin, who understands the gaze quickly and stands up after the mother, "hold her for a second." she hands the toddler to him, while he tries to get her to stop crying, but it doesn't work.

sunhee quickly picks up the baby bag, she carries around whenever she travels with her toddler. her manager and one of the bodyguards get up as well, to follow sunhee on seeing that she's heading towards the lavatory. the flight attendant leads the way, opening the door for sunhee, and sends an apologetic smile on seeing a big bulky man, dressed in all black following after along with a woman.

"i'm sorry, ma'am. only one person is allowed with the child. preferably the parent or guardian." the girl says.

"that's okay." sunhee nods, smiling to herself as she gestures her manager and bodyguard to go back to the seat.

"i can be right here, ma'am." the man suggests and steps aside, standing straight by the wall.

"it's okay, dongeun. you can go back and sit." sunhee says, dismissing him which he accepts with a bow and leaves.

"let me know if you need anything." the manager beams at sunhee, earning a thankful smile in return, before she finally enters the children' changing lavatory and closes the door, settling lily down on the changing table.

"calm down, baby." she cooes at lily, trying to talk to her while she quickly pulls her pants down to check the diaper, which is when she realises the problem. "aw, my little butterfly needed to get changed, hm?" she chuckles, taking the dirty diaper off and cleans the baby quickly, which makes lily quiet down now.

the tears become long forgotten as lily tries to sit up and picks up her pants, staring at them for a moment then throws them away, breaking into a giggle as sunhee gasps at her, smacking her bottom lightly. "don't throw your clothes around."

lily laughs at that, nodding her head and kicks her feet in the air, cycling them in excitement while her hands reach out for her mamma. "yes, my baby." sunhee says in a cute voice, leaning down and blows raspberries on lily's tummy, making her laugh loudly. "i love you." she chuckles and picks up the pants, inserting her feet in the holes before lily could throw them again.

"done."

"done!" lily repeats, clapping her hands. "mamma, go to- oppa."

"okay, let's take lily back to oppa now." she smiles, carrying her up after she disposes off the used diaper and washes her hands.

"mamma walkin'..." lily mumbles, and sunhee understands what the baby wants. so, she leaves her down, letting her walk back to the seat herself.

on the way lily sees a lot of people, and even a little boy of her own size. she stops by his seat, staring at him with her head tilted at angle, as he watches her back with an equally interested look from his mother's lap. lily steps towards him first, pointing at him as she turns to her mom, "baby!" she chirps, making the elders laugh for she herself is a baby and is getting surprised on seeing someone her age, calling him a baby.

"yeah, say hi baby." sunhee smiles, waving at the little boy, who ends up giggling and waves back.

"hi baby." lily mumbles, holding the side of his mother's seat and stands on her tippy toes to have a better look at the boy. the lady kindly puts him down, letting her son stand by himself and interact with lily.

"hi..." the boy mumbles out and steps closer to lily, reaching out to poke her cheek, which makes lily blink and in return she pokes him too, except that when she does it so spontaneously it hurts the boy and makes him cry.

"oh my god! lily, don't hurt him." sunhee carries her instantly, gasping as the baby boy is back in his mother's lap, who's just trying not to laugh and blows into his eye, hoping to soothe his pain. "i'm so sorry. she didn't mean to hurt him." sunhee says, glancing briefly at her daughter, who looks curious as though she's mocking at him for being so dramatic.

"no no, it's fine. it was an accident i understand. she's just a baby." the kind lady says, and sunhee smiles at her, nodding her head before she quickly gets back to their seat, letting out a deep sigh and stares at lily.

"you don't poke people's eyes as a hello, baby." she shakes her head.

"she poked someone's eye?" taehyung muffles his laugh, earning a look from sunhee.

"yes. that other toddler who was crying. she met him and i thought she could make a friend, but she poked him in the eye." sunhee sighs.

"well done, tiger." taehyung sniggers, showing his hand to lily and she quickly gives him a high-five with a mischievous grin.

"you're hopeless." sunhee scoffs, and turns to jimin, "hey, jim? listen."

"yes?" he arches up a brow, lowering his headphones from one ear.

"your sister just poked another baby's eye."

"i- what, how?" he frowns, then turns to lily. "no way she can do that, mom. she's small."

"babies are small. that's not what should concern you."

"right." jimin nods and gets up from his seat, crouching near his mother's and holds lily's hand. "we don't hurt anyone, princess. only bad babies hurt others."

"lily goo'baby." the toddler pouts.

"yes, and that is why lily won't hurt anyone now, right?"

"no' hurf anybun." she nods, holding her ears as she sits on her mother's lap.

"that's my good girl." jimin smiles and pecks her lips. he then looks at their mother, "see? easy."

"it's so cute to see you correcting her." sunhee pinches his cheeks and leans down to kiss them, which makes jimin cringe and sunhee laugh. "aw, my boy. you're not all grown up, okay?"

"not until you let me." jimin mutters, wiping his cheek and scrunches his face, and sunhee just chuckles, ruffling his hair.

"did you get some sleep?"

"yeah, like an hour?" he shrugs, and glances at taehyung, "tae, can you switch seats with me for a while?"

"is kook bothering you?" taehyung asks, getting up nonetheless with his phone and headphones, walking past his mother's legs and jimin, while the latter gets comfortable on the new seat.

"is he?" sunhee asks.

"no. he never does." jimin shakes his head. "he just woke up to lily crying, and is now playing a game on my phone."

"is he hungry? he hasn't eaten anything since we took off."

"oh yeah, i forgot to order something for him."

"it's alright. i'll just ask the attendant." sunhee smiles at him, letting lily slip down from her lap as she goes to taehyung and jungkook, who is up now, instead of bothering jimin to play with her.

"lily," jungkook smiles at the sight of his sister and pulls her up on the seat with him, "hi, why were you crying?"

"lily cwying," she pouts, and jungkook waits for her to explain more, but nothing comes.

"yeah, why were you crying?" he repeats again, trying to get her to speak like she does sometimes non-stop until he has to cover her mouth with his hand, but that doesn't work either for lily thinks it's a game and she tries to cackle and babble more when he removes her hand.

"baby yucky 'iaper. mamma chan'ding yucky 'iaper... lily 'appy!"

"oh. yucky diaper. that explains a lot." he hums, earning a chuckle from the seat next to him, and jungkook frowns, lowering the screen. "what are you doing here?! jiminie hyungie was sitting with me!"

"well, surprise he isn't anymore." taehyung sticks his tongue out at jungkook, making lily laugh as she sticks her tongue as well, imitating him. "you monkey."

"mon'tey!" lily chirps.

"you are a monkey." the elder laughs.

"you' mon'tey!" lily taps on the partition between them, standing beside jungkook, facing taehyung as she argues with him.

"what is lily then?"

"baby!"

"right, and what is kook?"

"baby!" lily giggles, earning a look from jungkook.

"i'm not a baby, lily."

"koo no' baby?" she tilts her head, and jungkook shakes his head.

"koo is a big boy. say it. say, big. boy."

"beeg-boi." lily hums, and taehyung ends up laughing, giving a thumbs up.

"sir," a flight attendant interrupts them, presenting a tray of food in front of jungkook and one for taehyung as well. she places a bowl of baby food and a box of juice that's meant for babies. "please let me know if you need anything else. enjoy your meal." she smiles politely, and taehyung nods slowly, glancing over at their mother who, gives him a nod to enjoy the food.

"i wasn't that hungry..." he says, "but thanks."

"but i don't wanna eat." jungkook says, standing up and goes to his mother with a pout "my stomach hurts, mom."

"oh, since when?" she frowns in concern, carressing the boy's stomach and brings him in a hug. "my baby, is it hurting a lot?"

"not a lot. but it's hurting. before i fell asleep, it started hurting then."

"you should've told mamma, kook." she cups his face, realising now that his temperature feels a bit high, too. "okay, listen. eat your food, then i'll give you the medicine, hm?"

"can i sit with you? tae hyungie is nice too, but- but he's always so funny..."

"you don't wanna sit with him because he's funny?" jimin chuckles, and jungkook shakes his head quickly. "c'mere." the elder says, holding out a hand for jungkook, who obeys and ends up sitting on the small space next to jimin. "what's wrong now, tell me?"

"tae hyungie isn't bad. i didn't say that." jungkook starts.

"i know, buddy. i'm asking if you wanna sit here?"

"with you?"

"sure, if you want." jimin smiles, and jungkook's eyes light up, nodding his head. he gets up quickly, going back to his seat and returns with his tray of food, placing it in front of jimin.

"are you sharing with hyungie, kook?" sunhee chuckles.

"yeah, i can." he hums, and glances at jimin. "you can eat with me, hyung."

"thanks, champ. you can have it, though. i ate not too long ago."

"but we can take a coffee, right?" sunhee asks.

"yeah, sure." jimin nods, "it's not like kook can finish everything up. so, i'll have to eat anyway."

"right." jungkook grins, picking up the fork and knife.

"do you wanna watch a movie?" jimin asks, sitting back comfortably, draping his arm behind the younger boy as he selects a good one to watch with an under-thirteen kid.

"jimin." sunhee nudges his arm as the flight attendant brings his coffee, handing it to him with a smile.

"thank you." he says quickly. "no fast movements, kook, or i might spill my coffee. it's very hot."

"okay." jungkook nods, watching how spiderman saves the his friends and the city from an outer space monster.

meanwhile sunhee checks on the other two kids, frowning at the sigh. taehyung is eating his food, while he has tied a bib to lily's neck, which doesn't help at all for all she does is singing gibberish, holding the spoon in her left hand, using the right one directly to eat the mashed potatoes and cutlets. now she has potatoes all over herself and sauce smeared on her cheek and hands.

"oh my god." she chokes on her coffee, putting it down on the tray quickly and stands up to go to her daughter. "what are you doing, tae? you don't just leave her with food to feed herself." she scolds him and grabs some napkins to wipe off lily's hands and clothes, and lastly the seat.

"i'm eating too. i was going to feed her once i was done." taehyung mutters.

sunhee sighs at that, shaking her head and sits down with lily on her lap, "when are you gonna start being a little responsible, tae? if you couldn't feed her right now, which is fine, you should at least keep the food out of her reach. she's too young to know anything."

"i'm sorry, mom." he mutters, "i don't know how to take care of babies. i promise i want to learn, but i just can't. jimin is so good at taking care of everyone, he's good at everything. but i just suck at this... lily might end up getting hurt because of me one day." he mumbles, lowering his head. "i can't even change her diaper. i must be the worst big brother."

"hey, no. you're not the worst, trust me on that." she tries to lift up his mood, which although doesn't work. so, she turns slightly on the seat and faces hin directly, cupping his cheek. "you love lily a lot and that's more than i can ask for. it's okay if you don't know some things. there's always tomorrow to learn, right?"

"yeah, but if jimin was sitting here right now, he'd feed lily and himself, and maybe look after kook, too."

"don't compare yourself to your brother, sweetheart. everyone's different, okay? there are things that you can do and jiminie can't. but anyway, that's not the point. i want my kids to be each other's support system, each other's strength. if you lack something your siblings help you with it, and if they lack something then you help them. that's what family is supposed do. we compliment each other in different ways and that helps us grow stronger as a family, and as an individual as well.

"and i know my sons well enough to know that they always have each other's back, and they love their little sister more than anything else. you, my little tae bear, are the cutest and naughtiest baby i've had. jimin used to hit you sometimes when you didn't listen to him." she chuckles, "and it's okay. some quarrels between siblings is normal, like you and jungkook have. but i know that you love him more than you like to mess with him, same with lily. so, don't worry too much, you're a fun elder brother to have."

"you think so?" taehyung smiles a little, feeling better on hearing his mother's words.

"i know so." she pats his cheek, and smiles at him. "i never planned on telling you this. but i guess you need to know. you're like my best friend tae, and it's so good to have someone like that. i can joke with you about almost everything, share about a bad day only to end up laughing about it in a few minutes. that's how you light up my life, and your siblings' too."

"so, basically i'm your favourite?" he grins, a smirk evident in his smiles.

"hey. i never said that. all four of you are my favourite." sunhee states.

"no, but i light up your life." he says dramatically, laughing at her words, which makes her roll her eyes.

"you're annoying. this is why i never planned to tell you that."

taehyung doesn't mind that and laughs harder, "you were so emotional and lovey-dovey, mom."

"shut up. you're not my best friend. you're a bully. grow up quickly and become responsible and start earning so i can marry you off."

"oh right," he sniggers, "find me a pretty girl, please. i want someone really beautiful, like an angel and she should know how to cook. that's all i ask for."

"i'll marry you to one our maids." sunhee mocks at him.

"fine. so, we'll set a beauty standard next time we hire." he laughs.

"geez. you have no filter on your tongue, kid." she shakes her head, "stop joking about that. it's not a good thing. people might take you to be a typical man."

"am i not?" he sniggers, taking a bite and sunhee, covers her mouth partially, mouthing something to taehyung that just makes him snort, falling back on his seat laughing.

"next time you share your sentimental shit with me, i'll know better than to talk you out of it."

"yeah, just get me a pretty girlfriend. it basically solves all the problems, do you know that? in fact, you should start dating again too."

"no, thank you. and, you need to stop taking me as your friend."

"but you are my friend, sunhee." he pouts, reaching out to pinch his mother's cheek.

"are you serious? behave yourself! i'm gonna smack you in the face if you-"

"aw, come on, best friend." he smiles, suddenly leaning down to lily and kisses her cheek. "aren't mamma and lily my best friends?"

lily bables something out, and taehyung holds her hand, chuckling softly as he tells her to say yes for him. lily nods her head, clapping her hands and cheers, "yesh!" earning another kiss from him.

"good girl." he praises, then looks back at the mother, "see, even lily agrees."

"fine." sunhee smiles, "but still, you pinching my cheeks is weird."

"it's not. you don't get to you do all the cheek-pulling, sunhee, aka mom. also, why are you so young? your eldest son is seventeen. look like that. guys in my school literally find you hot."

"you guys are weird." she makes a face, "but thanks for the compliment, even though you didn't really mean it like a compliment."

"no, shit. i did." he nods, taking another bite. "anyway, feed lily now. we're going to land in two hours."

"okay, dad." sunhee mocks at him, as it's his turn to give her a warning look.

"dada?" lily giggles, covering her mouth as she tilts her head to peek up at taehyung, who gasps and sunhee laughs.
