Jungkook slept peacefully, cradling Taetae in his arms, who was also fast asleep, clutching Jungkook's shirt in his palm.

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence, followed by the maid's gentle voice, "Sir?" The knocking persisted, but Jungkook, exhausted, didn't stir.

The maid returned to the dining area, where the other maids were setting the table.

"What happened?" they asked.

"Sir didn't answer, even after I knocked several times. He seems to be in a deep sleep," the maid replied. The others nodded in understanding.

"Let's wait for them to wake up," one maid suggested.

Just then, they heard footsteps and turned to see a disheveled Taetae approaching, rubbing his eyes and wearing oversized clothes. The maids couldn't help but coo over the adorable sight.

"Muu," Taetae muttered, pouting like a baby bear, making everyone want to scoop him up.

"Aww, how did he escape from my pocket?" one maid joked. The others chuckled, and another corrected her,

"You mean, how did he escape from Sir's pocket?" They all shared a laugh, and the maid nodded in agreement.

Taetae waved his hands to get the maids' attention.

"Hlw!" he said, tilting his head to indicate he had heard the knock on the door. "Chu door knob."

The maid bowed respectfully. "Dinner is ready, little master. Please bring Jeon sir with you."

Taetae nodded and headed to the room. He climbed onto the bed and gently shook Jungkook.

"Muu, wake up, muuu!" Taetae said, slapping Jungkook's cheeks gently to wake him.

Jungkook stirred, slowly opening his eyes to look at Taetae, who pouted his lips. "What's wrong, baby?" Jungkook asked.

"Food ready, Taetae hungry!" Taetae exclaimed, patting his tummy. Jungkook quickly sat up, checking the time.

"Sorry, baby, did you wash your mouth?" Jungkook asked, and Taetae shook his head.

"Come, let's wash our mouths, then we'll go eat dinner, okay?" Jungkook said, scooping Taetae into his arms. Taetae snuggled into Jungkook's chest, and they headed to bathroom together.

Jungkook fed Taetae, who sat on his lap, clutching his shoulder.

"Taetae full, no more," Taetae said, turning his face away as Jungkook held a spoon of rice in front of his mouth.

"Just one last bite, bear," Jungkook coaxed, looking at Taetae, who turned his head back towards him.

"Onlw last one, otay?" Taetae showed Jungkook his one finger, and Jungkook nodded.

Taetae opened his mouth, and Jungkook fed him the last bite of rice.

"Now no more," Taetae said, trying to wriggle out of Jungkook's hold, who quickly released him.

"Taetae play," Taetae exclaimed, pointing to his toys in the box. Jungkook nodded with a smile.

As Taetae played, Jungkook began eating his own food while chatting with Suga about their mission.

Despite the seriousness of their conversation, Jungkook's eyes kept drifting to Taetae, who was happily engaged with his toys, bringing a warm smile to Jungkook's face.

........................

The next day, Jungkook was getting ready for work when he noticed Taetae sitting on the bed, glaring at him with a cute pout. Taetae's arms were crossed over his chest, and his lower lip jutted out in a adorable sulk.

Jungkook chuckled at the sight, his eyes meeting Taetae's through the mirror. He walked over to Taetae and gently held his face in his hands.

"Why is my baby pouting, hmm?" Jungkook teased, pressing Taetae's cheeks together.

Taetae tried to speak, but Jungkook's grip on his cheeks made it difficult.

"Muu," Taetae muttered, his lips still pouting.

Taetae grasped Jungkook's wrists, and Jungkook released his cheeks. Taetae sighed, still glaring at Jungkook with a cute scowl.

"Why chu do that?" Taetae asked, holding his cheeks.

Jungkook chuckled and scooped Taetae into his arms, swinging him back and forth.

"Because you were too cute to resist, my baby boo," Jungkook said, showering Taetae with affection.

"Chuu stawp!" Taetae giggled, trying to escape from Jungkook's kisses.

"Okay, okay, bear," Jungkook said, still holding Taetae in his arms. "Now, tell me why you were pouting and glaring at Mommy, hmm?"

Taetae's pout returned, and he looked up at Jungkook with big eyes. "Cause Chu leaving Taetae here."

Jungkook's heart melted at the sight. "Aww, my baby, that's why you were pouting?"

Taetae nodded, and Jungkook sat down on the bed with Taetae on his lap.

"Aww, my bear, if Mommy won't go to work, then how will Mommy buy Taetae's favorite choco candies and toys, hmm?"  Taetae thought for a moment before nodding his head in understanding.

"Chu right."

Jungkook cooed at Taetae's cuteness, his heart full of love for his little one. "That's my smart bear! Mommy will be back soon with lots of goodies, okay?"

"Nuuu, but Taetae wants to come with Chu! Taetae promises to be a good boy!" Taetae exclaimed, holding onto Jungkook's shirt with a pleading expression.

Jungkook's heart melted at the sight, and he couldn't resist Taetae's charming smile.

"Okay, baby, you can come with me, okay?" Jungkook said, making Taetae's face light up with joy.

Taetae's smile widened, showcasing his adorable boxy teeth, and he bounced up and down excitedly.

"Yay! Taetae go with Chu! Taetae be good boy, Chu see!" he chirped, releasing Jungkook's shirt to throw his arms around his neck in a tight hug.

Jungkook chuckled and hugged the adorable boy in his arms.

.................................

Suga burst into Jungkook's office, where he was busy with work. "Jungkook," Suga said.

"Oh, good morning, hyung," Jungkook replied with a smile.

"Good morning, Jungkook. I heard you brought the boy to our office. Where is he?" Suga asked, looking around but not finding the boy.

"He's playing in the playroom," Jungkook said, and Suga nodded.

"Did you inform Taetae about our mission to another city?" Suga asked, and Jungkook shook his head.

"Jungkook, you should tell him we're leaving tomorrow; all arrangements are in place," Suga said, making Jungkook look down.

"Please, hyung, take Taetae with us. I've never asked anything from you before, but I'm begging you now. Please grant me this one wish. My mind cannot bear leaving him here alone; he's just a child, mentally fragile. Please, hyung, just this once," Jungkook pleaded, joining his hands together.

Suga was shocked to see the mafia leader begging in front of him for a mere boy who was not mentally stable. Suga had never seen Jungkook so weak, but one boy had become his weakness.

"Please, Jungkook, don't plead. Alright, we'll take him with us, but if anything happens, you'll be responsible," Suga said, making Jungkook nod his head.

"I won't let anything harm him; he'll always be protected. Thank you, hyung, thank you so much," Jungkook said, his face radiant with gratitude, as Suga left the office. Jungkook returned to his work, still smiling.
