[ seven ]

Taehyung never thought carrying a 6 year old girl was this exhausting! After playing a bit at the amusement center, Seolmi falls asleep again just by letting Taehyung carry her. He really doesn't know what to do with his own child anymore. She can still survive even if she sleeps for more than hours without eating or drinking. He swears to God, Jimin's right when he said his daughter is probably Yoongi's long lost daughter.

"Hey, you want me to carry her?" Jimin asks, snapping Taehyung out of his thoughts. He shakes his head, rejecting the offer because he doesn't want him to suffer because his daughter weighs like three sacks of rice.

"Nah. I can manage this one, Chim. I always do this at home and got used to it already so no need to worry," he assures him, earning a small smile from Jimin. They walk along the streets of Seoul, happily chatting and reminiscing memories that bonded them together before. They turn left for the last time and they reach NamJin's household. After they got married and before their honeymoon, Namjoon already brought the house and entrusted them everything that's inside of it. Jimin and Taehyung were the ones that designed the interior before the latter even went back to Daegu.

"Jin hyung, we're home!" Jimin shouts once they entered. Namjoon is inside his studio, probably concentrating on his mixtape because Taehyung heard they'll be having a comeback soon. And yes, JYN is still stronger than ever.

"Hoseok, Yoongi and Jeongguk are still coming over. Is that okay?" Jin asks us from the kitchen.

"Yoongi didn't tell me that he'll be coming over though. He should've joined us in going home," Jimin pouts.

"Maybe he's still doing something before we got there, Chim. And he just left it because he wanted to spend time with Seolmi," Taehyung explains to him. He sighs and excuses himself to get changed. Taehyung then decided to take Seolmi upstairs and change her into her PJs.

"Dada?" She whispers. He looks at her face and smiles at her warmly.

"What is it, baby?"

"Seolmi hungry.. wanna eat fried rice..." she pleads, using her charm. He melts into her cuteness and ruffles her hair before nodding.

"Baba Jin is already cooking it for you so you should eat a lot later, okay? And show your thanks to Baba Jin, hm?" He feels her nod against his shoulder.

"Seolmi play downstairs, dada?"

"Yes, you can baby."

With much enthusiasm, she pecks Taehyung's cheeks before dashing downstairs. He can't help but to giggle and warn her to be careful for she might trip.

"Dada, Uncle Yoongi!" Taehyung hears Seolmi shout below. His hands stop folding the clothes that they brought when he realizes that he's also here. Jeongguk is also here and he's seeing Seolmi for the first time... but thank God he doesn't know she's his child.

"Dada come down!" Taehyung sighs and puts on a facade, trying his best to look like nothing is bothering him and that he's delighted to see all of them, without exceptions.

"Yoongi and Hoseok hyung! Hello! Jeongguk, hi!" He greets rather bluntly. Yoongi squints his eyes before moving inside the kitchen while Hoseok makes his way towards Namjoon's studio, probably distracting Namjoon hyung.

"Dada, play! Boring!" Seolmi complains as she drops her favorite rag doll down the floor.

"Dada, huh?" Jeongguk whispers in Taehyung's ears which eventually sent shivers down his spine.

"Y-yeah. She calls me dada because I treat her like she's my own. So yeah," he says before picking Seolmi up and settling her on the sofa. He noticed his daughter staring at Jeongguk, like she knows him. Her eyes glisten in adoration as Jeongguk smiles at her before following Yoongi inside the kitchen.

When he was gone, Seolmi smiles up to him widely, her gums already showing.

"Dada, Seolmi happy..." she says to Taehyung before her little fingers make their way to grip his own.

"And why is my little snowflake happy?"

"Nothing... just... happy!" She squeals which made him laugh at her cuteness.

Evening passes by and Taehyung's quite shocked to see Seolmi warm up quickly to a stranger. More shocked to see that of all the people, it's Jeongguk.

He pulled Seolmi into him like he's some kind of a magnet. They are inseparable all throughout the night and here he was, overthinking things again because he is so scared of what might happen next.

"Dada? Uncle Jeongguk return tomorrow?" Seolmi asks him in the midst of the bedtime story he is telling her right now.

"Why? Do you want to see him again tomorrow?"

"Yes! Seolmi loves uncle Jeongguk!"

And Taehyung knew he's damned.
