“They can wait.” Taehyung declared while staring into your hazel orbs while you closed your eyes in frustration. As he traced your movements, you licked your lower lip, “No, they can’t.” You declared as he raised one of his eyebrows.

You nudged him away with both of your palms as he retreated a step back. You squinted, your eyes at him as he pulled the tip of his tongue from the fringe of his mouth and glided his hands back inside the pocket of his sweatpants.

“Go and freshen up. Guests won’t like looking at you in this state.” You ordered, making him crumple his eyebrows looking at you. “You know who’s it?”  Taehyung asked but you made your way downstairs before he could ask any further questions.

“Guests?” You both heard another bell ringing reaching your eardrums as you shouted, “Coming!”

Taehyung looked at your back as he sighed, “Did she call someone over?” Licking his lower lip, Taehyung was about to follow you down the stairs when he looked down at his half-naked torso as your sentence looped around his head, “Guests won’t like looking at you in this state.”

“I wouldn’t have minded but if she said-” He let out a huff before making his way upstairs into his room, hastily. “Who can it be?” Taehyung muttered, entering his room before he made his way inside the bathroom.

In contrast, you opened the door of the mansion you encountered with a mild smile on his plumpy lips before you looked up into his orbs as you declared, “Welcome, Seokjin oppa.” You reciprocated the smile as you turned to the side to look at the lady in her late twenties looking at you with her smiley orbs.

“Welcome here, Unnie.” You said as she smiled, “We are meeting for the first time. So here you go.” Yeji said, elongating the bouquet toward you. You glanced at the fresh white lilies in a matter black bouquet, “Beautiful.” You declared.

Taking a glance at Yeji as you have your mouth opened, you let out a giggle before taking hold of the bouquet, “Thank you so much.” You smiled as you heard her say, “Also congratulations on your wedding.” You muttered, “Thank you.”

You blinked once as you took a few seconds to adore the white lilies before you heard a cute and soft sound, “I am also here.” You crumpled your brows before you looked in the direction of the voice.

A genuine smile approached your visage as you looked at the adorable girl peeking her head out from behind Seokjin as he was hiding behind all this while, “Oo… Baby, Aunty didn’t see you before.” You said, crouching down in front of her.

You scrutinized the girl for probably about five years looking at you with her doe eyes as he leisurely scooted from behind Seokjin before taking a step ahead and looking in your orbs.

You stretched one of your hands out for her as a gesture for her to hold it.

“Aeri is quite a shy person when she meets someone for the first time.” You looked up at Seokjin as he said all this before giving him a light nod.

You felt a soft and ginger touch on your palm as you instantly looked down at the little muffin with her tresses wiggling with the light breeze of air.

You smiled as you rubbed the pad of your thumb on the back of Aeri’s tiny weeny hand, “Hi! Aeri…” You muttered in curiosity as you watched Aeri curling her lips in a bright smile, “Hi…” She sang it off in her low voice before she took another step towards you.

“Do you live here with Taetae uncle?” She was looking at you with her bambi eyes as you took a second to recognize the nickname she just called Taehyung, “Isn’t it a cute name for his personality?” You let out a chuckle as you nodded lightly, “Yes, I live here with your Taetae uncle.”

You licked onto your lips before you propped the bouquet on your thighs. You skimmed the back of your index finger over Aeri’s cheeks and you heard her ask, “Then… Then what should I call you?” She asked but before you could answer she answered her question by herself.

“Kitty!” Aeri declared as you blinked a couple of times as Taehyung’s visage rushed through your head, “Is some telepathy going on between these two, niece and uncle?” You thought to yourself as you looked into Aeri’s orbs, she was looking at you with her doe and hopeful orbs.

You smiled, making her smile widen, “Such a cute name. Just like you.” You tapped onto her nose with the tip of your index finger as you heard a fit of giggles from her while Seokjin and Yeji smiled looking at you both before you raised your feet.

“Please come inside.” You announced, grinning like a Cheshire cat as you took a few steps back, giving them space to step inside the mansion.

You could feel a warm grip over your palm as you looked over at your hand discerning Aeri holding your hand with her weeny ones.

She smiled looking up at you as you twinkled looking at her. Yeji took a glance at you two and smiled mildly, “Y/n is a nice girl.” Yeji thought as they took a seat on the couch while you and Aeri sauntered toward the couch. You looked at Seokjin and Yeji as they both took their sides on the couch across from each other.

Your eyebrows crumpled, looking at them, “Why didn’t they sit together?” You came out of your reverie when you felt a tug on your hand making you look down at the tiny figure of Aeri, “Let’s go.” She whispered as you smiled before walking with her.

Sliding her hand out of your grip, Aeri trotted toward Yeji as she twitched her head to look at Seokjin before looking back at Yeji who passed her a smile and patted the material of the couch beside herself as a gesture for Aeri to sit on.

You could notice all the things happening between these three making you befuddled with their behavior, “Did they both fight? Should I ask them? No! It may offend them. Maybe, it can be some personal issue.” You thought.

“Taetae!” You came out of your reverie when you heard Aeri shouting as you wiggled your eyes from the little girl trotting at her full speed toward her Taetae Uncle who was stepping down the stairs. You scrutinized his eyes which had a tint of befuddlement and the rest was amazement.

You traveled your orbs at Taehyung’s clothes as he was donned a black t-shirt tucked inside a cream-colored jeans.

It would be an understatement if you said that your heart skipped a beat looking at his breathtaking physique.

All you could think of was him, nothing else as everything seemed blurry to you, just his clear view in front of your eyes. You could feel butterflies encircling your heart while your stomach churned at the jiffy, “Hunky.” You thought.

The sudden eye contact with him made your heart flip over its place but you couldn’t take your eyes off him, “What is happening to you, Y/n? This isn’t you. Get your shits together.” You licked onto your lower lip as you clamped the lower lip within your teeth but couldn’t stop staring at him.

You watched him stepping down the last stair as you both broke eye contact with him when he lifted Aeri into his arms with her armpits as if he were lifting a doll to play with.

You gulped down a lump in your throat before you traced the fringe of his lips curved upwards into a genuine smile.

“Taetae, I missed you.” Aeri said, wrapping her tiny arms around Taehyung’s neck as Taehyung held her with his left arm, “He does know how to smile genuinely. I can’t say that his smile is as bad as his nature. He looks cute and smiling.”

“How is my baby?” You all heard Taehyung's soft voice as you raised one of your eyebrows, “Did something happen to him? Does he have a fever again? I haven’t heard him like this. Or does he talk to kids like this?” You thought.

“Nice.” Aeri said in her baby language as her voice came out muffled because her chin was nudged on Taehyung’s shoulder.

Taehyung took a glance at you before he looked around to discern Seokjin and Yeji who were looking at him already, “Did she call them here?” Taehyung thought, wiggling his eyes from them to you. You could discern his orbs were questioning you but all you could do was to stay silent.

“How come you are here?” Taehyung asked before Aeri broke the hug and looked at him, “Me and Momma came back to Grandma’s house yesterday.” Taehyung licked his lips as he tucked a strand of Aeri’s tresses behind her ear before he placed her figure on the marble floor.

Taehyung bowed to Yeji which she reciprocated before Taehyung turned to look at his brother who was already looking at him.

Aeri trotted toward Seokjin as he twitched his orbs to Aeri as she was whispering something in her father’s ear.

Turning his head to look at you, Taehyung started taking steps toward you but before he could talk to you he heard you say, “You guys talk. I will bring something to drink.” He looked down at you with his clenched jaw.

You smiled at Seokjin and Yeji as you took a glance at Taehyung and made your way to the kitchen, “She did it on purpose.” Taehyung thought before making his way behind you he followed you into the kitchen while Seokjin took a glance at his broad back.

You stepped inside the kitchen as you walked toward the pantry, “Barley tea must be here.” You muttered as you opened the huge door of the pantry before starting to look for the packets of Barley tea. You heard sturdy yet light footsteps approaching you.

You gulped down as you licked onto your lower lip before saying, “Taehyung, you should sit with them-” Your sentence was interrupted when you felt him halting his steps just an inch away from you.

Your back was facing him yet you could feel his hot breath trickling your exposed nape and shoulder, “You called Seokjin hyung on purpose.” He declared, straight coming to the point. You let out a light sigh as you turned a deaf ear to him while you could feel shivers running down your spine.

“Go and sit there. I am coming.” You declared, probing the box of barley tea inside the pantry before you felt Taehyung’s chest touching your back making your breath hitch and heart flip.

Your movement ceased as you blinked when you watched him elongating his hand to the upper shelf of the pantry.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” He whispered against your ear, making your heartbeat race.
