It was clear to Jungkook, Yuna was up to the task of babysitting Mihi. Through careful consideration and a lot of 'pleases' and puppy-dog eyes from Mihi, Jungkook decided for Yuna to take care of her while he was working on a new project at his company. However, Mihi would still go to daycare for the day and only spend time with Yuna in the evening.

Yuna didn't mind, after all, she was granted a whole day to herself before spending it with a child. Weeks had gone by like this, the three adjusting to this new routine. Mihi found it easy to adapt, claiming she and Yuna were best of friends now.

Yuna was okay with it as well but, now found it difficult to make her advances on Jungkook. She was still coping with the fact of him being a father but ever since Jungkook's assurance of it being nothing, she is trying her best to look past that. It was going to be difficult but, Yuna was determined to get a man like Jungkook. Even if it wouldn't be forever.

As she walked through a pathway of cherry blossoms towards Mihi's daycare, she begins to ponder over her options. She must gain a picture of her and him, her followers were slowly disappearing. Most were demanding to know her relationship status and Yuna cannot disappoint.

The daycare comes into view when an idea suddenly struck her. She comes to an abrupt stop, her eyes widening at the thought. It was simply foolproof! Sweet and easy.

Quickly, Yuna takes out her phone and dials a certain number. A smile creeps up to her pink lips while her eyes gleamed in mischief. Just as the other line picks up Yuna begins to shout excitedly.

"Sejun, you wouldn't believe what I just thought of!"

"I swear, if it's something stupid, I will reach through this phone and strangle you," Sejun threatens darkly with a tired sigh. Yuna brushes off her foul mood and smiles in glee.

"You know how Jungkook is like, the sexiest man I laid eyes on, right?"

"And how you're also babysitting his kid?" Sejun firmly reminds.

"Oh come on, Sejunnie!" Yuna laughs. "Babysitting doesn't mean anything. But I called to tell you I have an idea!"

Sejun rolls her eyes, her lips tugging down to a frown. Yuna was lucky they were speaking on the phone. She wouldn't be able to see the annoyed expression upon Sejun's face.

"Oh, do tell while I shove my head in a wall." Not recognizing the obvious sarcasm Yuna cheers happily.

"Great! But, I don't think shoving your head in the wall helps you with hearing me." Sejun groans loudly while shaking her head.

"What is it now, Yuna?"

"Well, you know I'm in serious need to please my followers, right? And how I told you I just want Jungkook and I take a picture like we're dating?"

"Yeah," Sejun replies with a scoff. "Are you telling me you're planning to give up?"

"Psh, quite the opposite!! I'm going to get that picture even if I have to use his daughter."

Sejun stops walking through the hall. Her body stiffening as she processes Yuna's words. Anger suddenly boils in her veins, redness filling her eyes. People steered clear away from their boss but, she pays no attention.

Stopping in front of the daycare, Yuna awaits Sejun's response. An exhilarating sensation washes through her, she congratulates herself for being so smart. She couldn't believe she didn't think of this sooner. After what seemed like long minutes Yuna's smile falters.

"Um, Sejun are you still--"

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?"

Yuna jumps at the volume of her voice, her phone jumping out of her hand. Panicking, she quickly fumbles for it just before it could collide with the brick road. Swearing loudly, Yuna places the phone back over her ear.

"The hell, Sejun?" She freaks. "This phone is the latest edition and I almost dropped it!"

"I can't believe you, Yuna! Just how low can you get?!" Disappointment washes over Sejun's face, her body boiling in rage. "Use his kid, the hell's matter with you?!"

"Oh my god, relax," Yuna groans with knotted brows. This was not how she imagined her to act. "What's wrong with my plan? The girl loves me, Sejun. All I need to do is influence her a bit then she can 'brainwash' Jungkook, telling him how amazing I am."

"Okay, fine. Say that works. What will you do afterward?"

Yuna pauses for a moment, her mind going blank. Seeing the doors open, children with caretakers rush out the building, huddling into the small buses or being picked up by their parents. Seeing Mihi just on the steps in front of the daycare, Yuna rolls her eyes.

"I don't know," she admits. "I bet it'll get pretty boring afterward so I don't know. . ."

"What? So you'll get what you want then take off?" Sejun questions irritably. However, Yuna doesn't sense her friend's anger and shrugs.

"Yeah, probably. I mean, why stay? I don't want to be in a long-term relationship with a guy with baggage. You know pitiful I'll look?"

Sejun scoffs loudly, "You're unbelievable." Yuna opens her mouth to protest but the line goes dead. Sejun hung up. Yuna pulls the phone away and glares at it in irritation.

"What's her problem??"

"Yun Yun!"

Putting her problems aside, Yuna looks up to see Mihi skipping her way towards her. Her bag bounced behind her as well as her pigtails. A bright smile plaster itself on Mihi's face causing Yuna to match it. She shoves her phone in her pocket and bends down to Mihi's height.

"How was daycare today, peanut?" Yuna flashes Mihi a warm smile.

A heartwarming sensation blossoms in the little girl's chest. Every time she saw Yuna smile the feeling came every time. She didn't know what it meant, why does she feel so happy around her?

She figured it was because they were friends but, this feeling was deeper. It came from the heart and down to her toes, that had to mean something, right? Mihi's smile became wider, showing off her bunny smile.

"Same as always, Yun Yun! I'm just really happy to see you!"

"Ah, I'm happy too, Mihi!" Yuna exclaims as she feels a small impact of Mihi's body colliding into hers. Releasing the child, Yuna gently pats her head. "Ready to head for the ice cream parlor?"

It took Mihi only a short moment to remember today was Friday. Excitement electrifies her body, little squeals escaping her lips. Friday's, the days she gets to go out with Yuna for ice cream. It became their own little thing ever since Yuna started picking her up. Every week, she looked forward to Friday.

"Yay, Friday, Friday!" She cheers. "We're going to get ice cream!!"

A bubbling laugh escapes Yuna's lips, she stands with a bright gleam in her eyes. Mihi was too cute, she was glad she was the reason Mihi was smiling so much.

"Well, come on then, let's hurry so no one takes our seat."

Mihi nods happily, taking Yuna's hand before skipping along the sidewalk. She beamed at every passerby, her cheery aura radiating off her. Yuna smiles happily, nodding here and there while Mihi talked.

This is nice, Yuna thinks cheerfully with a smile. Not only was her mood brightening each second but, her plan seems to work wonders. It was amazing to see Mihi this animated when it came to dessert.

Nodding along, and agreeing when needed to be her back pocket begins to ring. Yuna reaches for her phone and sees Jungkook's name. Confused, she answers quickly.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Yuna, how's everything?" Jungkook's deep tone emits from Yuna's line. Her eyes glisten in glee while her stomach starts to churn.

"Great! How about you?"

"Everything's good, actually," Jungkook chuckles. "Your friend is letting me get off early today."

It was the first in a few weeks since he started this gaming project that he was able to get off early. It was always nine-thirty, or ten when he arrived home. He was glad to be off for the rest of the day, there was well missed time between him and Mihi.

"We're off to an ice cream parlor."

"Huh? Why's that?"

"Just to have fun!" Yuna exclaims. "Want to join us? I'm sure Mihi will be surprised when she sees you." Yuna sensed Jungkook's hesitation. She could practically imagine him chewing his bottom lip.

"Ah, I don't know, shouldn't you just head over to my apartment and drop off Mihi?" Yuna rolls her eyes, scoffing at him.

"Oh, come on, Jungkook. You need to let loose for once. There wasn't a time I see you go out for fun."

"The fact you said seen, proves you're a stalker," Jungkook deadpans.

"Just come to the parlor," Yuna mutters, feeling her cheeks burn at his comment. "It's the one that's just three blocks away from the daycare."

The other line became silent, Yuna held her tongue for Jungkook to take the moment to decide. Both her and Mihi arrived at the parlor, the ring of the door emitting to Jungkook's line. He could barely hear the happy cheers from Mihi but smiled anyway.

Shaking his head with a smile he realized Yuna was right. When was the last time he went out of his way to have fun?

Too long, he answers his question. It was too long since he had fun. Maybe now was the time to do that.

"Okay," he caves. "You win, I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

\/\/\/\/\/

"Hm, so you think cookie dough is the worst flavor on earth?" Yuna inquires before stuffing a spoonful of vanilla ice cream into her mouth.

"Yes!" Mihi exclaims while slamming her hand on the table dramatically. Her little eyebrows furrow together, her eyes burning passionately over this simple subject. Her lips form into a frown as she tries to look serious.

"Cookie dough is for cookies! Not ice cream! Nobody likes chewy, disgusting cookie dough in their ice cream!"

Yuna chuckles at her statement but stops short when she hears the ice cream parlor door open. She had a feeling who it was but, doesn't bother to turn around. She pretends to be busy with her ice cream allowing Mihi to take a good look at who came in.

She cranes her head to her right, seeing a familiar statue of a man standing in front of the door. He looks around with a frown until locking eyes with Mihi. A gasp escapes her lips, her eyes shining in surprise.

"Daddy!" She hops off her chair and rushes to him. Jungkook meets her halfway and picks her up.

"Hey, little bunny!" Jungkook greets. "How was your day?"

"Fun!" She bubbles before waving at Yuna. "Say hi to, Yun Yun, daddy!"

Obeying his daughter's demand he strides towards the young woman. Noticing her bored expression, he flashing her a mischievous smile.

"Don't you think vanilla is a little bland for you?"

Yuna glances at him noticing the amusement in his eyes. Her cheeks puff out while she playfully rolls her eyes.

"Vanilla is not bland!" She pouts. "What's wrong with vanilla??"

"Oh, nothing's wrong with it," Jungkook replies nonchalantly. "Vanilla just doesn't seem the type you like."

Understanding what he was referring to, Yuna's cheeks flush red, her eyes widening. How could he say such a thing in front of her? They were less than friends but more than strangers, it struck her weird to hear him say such a thing.

"Well, for your information it's my favorite flavor! And there's nothing wrong with the type of ice cream!" Yuna sticks out her tongue causing Jungkook to laugh. He couldn't understand what gotten into him but, he felt more at ease now.

Mihi looks back and forth at the two completely lost by their odd conversation.

"I don't get it," she complains with a pout. "Vanilla is a good flavor, daddy."

Chuckling at her words Jungkook pecks her cheek.

"Yes, you're right, sweetie." Placing her back in her seat, Jungkook takes the chair beside Yuna. He smiles happily while watching Mihi eat her ice cream but stole glances at Yuna beside him.

He noticed the way she smiles softly at the taste of the ice cream. Her eyes lighting up each time Mihi conversed with her. It was still strange to see her not so forward or giddy around him.

Catching Jungkook's gaze, she glances at him with a small pout. There was something different about the way he looked at her. She could see his coffee-colored eyes weren't full of distaste anymore. They seemed. . .friendly.

Her heart jolts when he gives her a small smile before she does the same. Quickly she looks back at Mihi and jokes till she laughs. Jungkook doesn't speak a word, he only watched Yuna talk happily to his daughter.

He wondered if she lost interest in him but, would never inquire about it. Jungkook liked what he was witnessing, this sweet side of Yuna was mesmerizing. His whole body felt jittery almost, like his blood was running wild through his veins.

He had only one fear though, and that was if he asked then would only take it the wrong way.
