"Yoongi?" Jimin stuttered as he walked in.
"I was just--oh." Yoongi froze seeing Jungkook there, he saw how Jih was hugging him tightly. He clenched his jaw in anger and breathed out.

"Appa!" Jih smiled and went up to him. Yoongi picked Jih up and pecked his cheeks.
"Hi, champ! Just wanted to wish you luck for tomorrow!" He smiled at his son.
"Thank you, Appa! Are you not coming tomorrow?" Jih asked timidly.
"Of course I am! I was just passing by, so I came to visit you and dad. " Yoongi spoke without even sparing Jungkook a glance. Jimin gulped thickly, he saw Jih hugging Yoongi and smiling at him.

It reminded him of everything bad that had happened. Jimin never felt safe, but with loneliness taking over. His heart was becoming more and more vulnerable.

"I see you have gifts lying around." Yoongi arched an eyebrow at the many boxes on the couch which Jimin had just noticed.
"Who gave them?" Yoongi asked sarcastically.
"I did. Actually, my grandmother sent them for Jih." Jungkook said walking up to the trio. Jimin looked shocked but couldn't hold back a smile.
"She didn't have to!" Jimin chuckled lightly.
"She wanted to. There's no stopping her once she decides to pamper someone!" Jungkook laughed and Jimin subconsciously held his hand as they laughed. Yoongi wanted to slap Jungkook right across his face, but he had to be sneaky about this.

His grip on Jih tightened as he felt his jealousy reach a whole new level.

"Dad. I'm sleepy.." Jih yawned exhausted and reached for Jimin, who took him in his arms to take him to his room.
"Bye, Appa. " Jih waved at him, his eyes almost shut.
"Bye, Ironman!" Jih shot his head up briefly to give him a flying kiss and then fell asleep. Jungkook smiled affectionately and made a catching gesture in the air.

He looked back at Yoongi who was giving him the coldest shoulder.
"The favouritism... I'm jealous." Yoongi laughed but the way he said it had so much hate behind it that even Jungkook felt it. He couldn't call it out just like that, so he smiled back and shook his head.

Jimin returned shortly.
"He's so tired today " Jungkook breathed out.
"I know. He even refused dinner. I'll see if I can get him to eat something though..." Jimin smiled at Jungkook.
"Pizza maybe?" Jungkook teased him, Jimin hit his shoulder lightly and laughed.

Yoongi knew this behavior. Jimin would never hit anyone playfully unless and until they were close to him. His temper reaching the highest of it's boiling point.
"I'd better go. Take Jih on Monday." Yoongi said and gulped.
"Oh... Do you want to stay for dinn--"
"No, I can't. I'm really tired too.  But I'll see you tomorrow " Yoongi gave him a small smile. Jimin nodded and shrugged uncomfortably, Jungkook couldn't be more glad.

"Son of a bitch. " He cursed mentally.
"Goodnight, Jungkook!" Yoongi extended his hand and Jungkook shook his hand very briefly.
"Bye, Jimin-ah." Yoongi hugged Jimin, and then cupped his face as he left. Jimin bit his lip, confused by Yoongi's gesture. Jungkook stood there with his tongue poking at his cheek, his eyes glassy and breathing heavy.

"I'd better go too. You guys rest today. Okay?" Jungkook smiled at Jimin.
"I will. See you on Monday then?" Jimin pouted a little.
"Definitely! And wish my Jih lots of luck from his Ironman!" Jungkook beamed, his eyes shining bright. He looked very young again, so carefree. So beautiful.

They hugged briefly and Jungkook walked out. Jimin sighed as he closed the door with a slightly heavy heart.

"You can always adopt... It doesn't matter, honey." Jungkook's grandma said softly and he stroked Hoseok's hair as he cried hugging her.
"But..."
"If it's meant to be, it'll happen. Besides you said there's a slightest chance, so it could. Don't over think. As long as you're here to love a child, the moment you decide to raise one, they're yours. " Hoseok nodded and Tae wiped his years.
"Don't tell Jungkook now. Please..." Tae asked and Hoseok nodded.
"I promise I wo--" She said and then she coughed.

"Are you okay, Grandma?" Tae gave her water. Hoseok held her hand. Her hand was very warm and her skin looked pale.
"Of course I am.." he smiled at them lovingly and cupped their faces.
"My strong boys. " She chuckled.
Tae and Hoseok smiled brightly, she had called them this since second grade.

Jungkook went to Tae's place where Hoseok had fallen asleep and they watched a movie. They discussed about everything but problems.
"Let's go out somewhere.." Jungkook made plans, he just didn't want to be home. It was usually the same for Tae and Hoseok but now because of the fertility test results, they wanted to stay home and just relax.
"Sure.. how's your thing with Jimin now? " Tae asked sternly and Jungkook tried to avoid eye contact.
"All sorted. " He said casually.
"I hope so, buddy " Tae kicked him lightly. Jungkook knew he was lying but he didn't want to ruin anything with Jimin.

Besides, he wasn't in love.

Jungkook came home late, he saw that his father had fallen asleep on a chair while holding a picture of his grandfather. He grabbed a blanket, put it on him,  sighed and walked off.

The next morning, Jungkook woke up at his usual time, he showered, got dressed and went downstairs looking for his grandmother.

He wore a black shirt with black pants, he felt like dressing a bit formally just in case they went to a high end club.

"Hey, beautiful!" He beamed at her.
"Hello, munchkin!" She kissed his cheek.
"Jih loved the presents! But was too tired to open them all but I'm sure he will!" Jungkook gave her a bunny smile.
"I'm so happy that he liked it. " She chuckled lightly.
"I'm off to Tae's. Might just stay there for the night. You better today? How's that fever?" Jungkook placed his palm flat against her forehead. She seemed better.
"Much better. I had a medicine last night. I am much better!" She beamed like her usual self but still a bit weaker.
"Okay.. Bye, Grandma! I love you!" He hugged her and ran off.

She breathed out and smiled as she saw her grandson run off, all grown up. Where did the time even go?
___________________________________
Tae had told Jungkook that Hoseok wouldn't meet them because he had a cold but in reality it was because he had gone to another doctor for a third opinion. They decided to go for a movie and then dinner, and finally home. Right after lunch they sat in the car and drove off for the movie.

"WELL YOU DROPPED IT!" Jungkook yelled at Taehyung.
"YOU FUCKER, I KEPT THE TICKETS RIGHT HERE!" Taehyung pointed at the backseat of the car.
"WELL THEN DID THE CAR TURN INTO A TRANSFORMER AND GO WATCH THE MOVIE!?" Jungkook yelled.
"YOU WANNA FUCKING FIGHT, LITTLE BITCH?" Taehyung yelled at him.
"LET'S GO, DOLL FACE!" Jungkook narrowed his eyes.

Taehyung grabbed him in a choke hold as he ruffled his hair up.
"WHAT MISTER, 240 PUSH UPS A DAY? HAHA!"
"YOU'LL FUCK WITH MY HAIR, YOU LITTLE BI--"
"Excuse me, sir. " Said a middle aged man looking terrified at the scene in the car. Two men dressed rather formally in a shirt and pair of trousers, fighting like hooligans.
"Yes?" Tae smiled still holding Jungkook.
"You left these tickets at our restaurant.." he gulped. Jungkook tapped on Tae's arm who then immediately let him go, out of embarrassment.

The two of them blushed and took the tickets and bowed to him.
"Well.." Jungkook said fixing his black shirt and Tae fixed his light blue one.
"Awkward..."
They both burst out laughing and finally composed themselves.

"Let's go somewhere... Noisy and just... Happy." Tae chuckled.
"Let's go see Jih perform for his annual day?" Jungkook arched an eyebrow at him.
"You know where he goes?" Tae smirked.
"Well, I can make a few calls to ask. " Jungkook called Bighit and asked about Park Jimin and if they knew where his son studied.

"Seoul National.." Jungkook smiled. And one look at each other and they knew, Tae drove off towards his school.

They reached at about 5pm and obviously, nobody stopped them once they gave their identities.

Jungkook looked around at the many kids and parents sitting around, he looked for Jih and Jimin. People staring at the two very handsome men, spouses getting jealous and teachers getting distracted.

Tae looked around at the small kids, it hurt his heart so much. But he just smiled.

Tae and Jungkook were actually very near the front rows when they heard.
"First grade lead by Park Jihyung!" And tiny kids filled the stage.

"YESSSSS!" Jungkook got startled seeing Tae cheering that loud. He kept trying to shut him up but his best friend was now gone.
"PARK JIHYUNG, MY BOY! YES! " Tae yelled and Jungkook felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Jimin!" Jungkook smiled.

He was dressed formally too, his blonde hair parted but still falling on his forehead and Jungkook's hair parted to the side. His eyebrows exposed and sleeves folded up till under his elbow, all black and that hairstyle was fatal at this point, a little messy but fatal.

"What are you two doing here?" Jimin laughed trying not to focus on how hot Jungkook looked.
"We--"
"JIHYUNG-AH!!!" Tae's deep voice now starting to scare children and adults.

Seeing Jih on stage made Jungkook so proud. He and Jimin clapped and cheered for him too and he danced cutely. He hadn't been able to spot Jungkook and Taehyung but when he did, he pointed at them and danced more energetically. Jungkook and Taehyung were practically getting chest pains from his cuteness.

After the performance, Jih ran up straight to Jimin and hugged him. Then he hugged Jungkook and bowed to Tae.
"You were awesome!" Jungkook beamed.
"Thank you, Ironman!" Jih blushed. Jih was now dumbstruck seeing Taehyung in person.

"Hey. " They saw Yoongi there.
"Appa!" Jih hugged him.
"You were amazing, champ!" Yoongi kissed his cheek.
"Thank you! " Jih beamed.
"What are you doing here?" Yoongi suddenly asked Jungkook.

"We're here to cheer for our best friend!" Tae intervened and Yoongi huffed. They both exchanged a greeting and introduction but Jimin could see how Jungkook's expression had darkened.

"Ready to go, Jih?" Yoongi smiled.
"Okay.. bye, dad." Jih said sadly, hugged him and waved to Tae and Jungkook as Yoongi picked him up and leave.

"That was fun! Let's all go for di--" Tae said when he felt his phone vibrate. It was Hoseok. Tae felt panic take over seeing his text and he told them he had to rush.
"I'll drop Jungkook. No problem!" Jimin offered quickly. Taehyung was barely able to think and he ran off thanking him even before Jungkook could put in a word. But he chose not create a scene.

"Let's go?" Jimin held his hand lightly. And Jungkook's heart raced, he managed to smile and walked with him.

Jimin and Jungkook sat in his car and Jungkook spoke up.
"Let's go to a club." He teased.
"Really? You should be home because...." Jimin rolled his eyes.
"Scared, Park? " Jungkook bit his lip challenging him. Jimin smirked at him.
"It's on, Jeon!" Jimin said and drove as Jungkook chuckled.
