___

"jimin-ah, think about it again, do you really wanna do this?"

jimin nods, making the elder sigh defeatedly for the n'th time after asking the same question again as if that would change jimin's answer. but the man was firm on his decision, leaving the rest of the members and the agency to panic after him once he announced he wanted to have kids.

having a genuine interest in the matter and with a lot of due concern, the leader asked him if he had a girlfriend that he wanted to marry. jimin said no, and the members gulped in fear, imagining just how mad the agency was about to get if jimin had already married someone. but when jimin denied that either, all that the boys could do was frown in confusion for none of them knew any magic that would bring jimin children without actually getting intimate with a person having a uterus. and as far as their brain allowed them to ponder, they knew no woman who jimin was that close to. he just had a lot of boys in his life.

that lead to the a third conclusion. jimin might have married a guy and now wanted to have kids! before taehyung asked him to confirm their thoughts, jimin had already killed the curiousity claiming that he wasn't dating anyone of any gender and he certainly wasn't married either.

"then how and why the fuck do you wanna have kids out of nowhere?!" taehyung had groaned, grabbing his best friend by his shirt, staring at him with a deep frown as though he was close to declaring the man crazy. that was when jimin showed him a paper— an advertisement template of an orphanage.

the members couldn't process it clearly until jimin, himself, told them how he went there a few days back to make donations and met some kids, all ranging from a few months old to sixteen or seventeen years old. realising that those kids were devoid of families and weren't being given the love and care they deserved, he decided he would adopt one, for he too, was lonely at home, not having anyone to hug him after a bad day or tell him numerous stories to make him smile.

taehyung, hoseok and jin had agreed right away, and their support showed through their wide smiles and the tight hugs they wrapped jimin with, making him smile thankfully. however a bit concern came from namjoon, yoongi and their manager, who weren't sure if they could do this or not. being an idol, especially in a group which is rising at it's peek right now, was a matter that deserved as much thinking as that can be done.

nonetheless the manager had agreed two days before the adoption day, saying if jimin wanted this and was sure of his actions, then no one else has the right to tell him otherwise. namjoon and yoongi agreed too, but their worry never lessened for jimin, who kept consoling and assuring them that he would manage everything.

"okay," namjoon sighs anyway, knowing there's barely anything left to do as the car stops in front of the orphanage that stole a part of jimin's heart. namjoon follows him out along with jin and walks towards the entrance, preparing himself for the big day as if he was going to adopt kids in place of jimin for he looked way more stressed than the younger.

"hyung, it's alright," jimin chuckles, glancing at the taller males, noticing how one of them is only trying not to freak out and the other one is trying to contain his wide smile as his eyes land on little kids playing in the backyard.

they enter into a hallway where there are a few people already, looking around and some talking to the children, while jimin makes his way towards the main office, earning confused looks from his hyungs. still the two don't question and follow him quietly between children and only children.

"oh mr jeon," a man exclaims, coming out of the office before jimin knocked on the door. he smiles, shaking hands with him, "so good to have you back, how can i help you?"

"mr kim, the last time i came here i couldn't meet the children. so i'm just here for that today," jimin says, glancing around with a smile, "and i might even take one home with me, if everything goes well."

"really?" the man gasps, breaking into a wide smile as he nods quickly, "sure sir, please have a look around. all of my kids are great and deserve to be adopted."

"i'm sure they do," jimin nods and steps aside, gesturing his hand towards his hyungs, "by the way this is namj–"

"i know, sir. who doesn't know you guys?" the man chuckles, "it's a pleasure meeting you in person." he bows, making namjoon and jin panic as the man is much older than them. having nothing else to do, the two bow as well, shaking hands with him and smile in acknowledgement.

"i can show you aro–" he winces at the sound of his ringtone interrupting him with such important guests and sighs in disappointment, "i'm so sorry, sir. i've to take this..."

"it's alright, mr kim. we can help ourselves." jimin smiles, "please take your time."

"thank you, please excuse me." the man walks away, leaving jimin, namjoon and jin standing as they take time to observe the surroundings. jimin breathes deeply, smiling at the little girl who just passed him with a doll in her hands that someone gave her.

"where do we have to go?" namjoon asks, pulling him out of his thoughts, and he looks around, shrugging his shoulders.

"i went that side when i came last time, there's the dining hall and nursery that way." jimin says, "let's go and see,"

jin and namjoon nod, walking in the said direction with jimin who pushes a door open, revealing a big hall with a long table that sits in the middle and chairs placed around it. most of them are empty as the children are already out, playing and meeting new people who may or may not be their new family. but still there are five kids here, having their meal. three teenagers, talking and snickering about something, but stop and give the three men a bow. which is when one of them recognises the world famous faces and gasps loudly, springing up on her feet.

"j-jimin oppa?" the girl whispers, "rm and jin... oh my god..."

jimin chuckles, entering the hall and nods, "hello," he says, "what's your name?"

it takes her a moment to snap out of it and gulps, glancing at her friends who are too busy staring at the idols as well, "uh yeah? my- my name? it's... uh what was it..."

jin chuckles at the panic stricken girl and raises his hand in the air, "it's alright, take your time."

"yoona," she says, staring at her feet in embarrassment, "lee yoona,"

"that's a pretty name," namjoon smiles, "and how old are you?"

"fourteen," she says, "will you marry me?"

the boys burst out laughing at the sudden proposal, finding it cute from such a young girl. namjoon rubs his neck, staring at her with adoring eyes, "i guess i could if you were a bit older," he says, "i'm so sorry, yoona."

"yeah, i guess... i'm sorry for saying that, i didn't mean to..."

"it's alright," he chuckles, glancing at her friends who are laughing at her, "and who do your friends wanna marry?"

"tae and hobi oppa!" yoona chimes, too excited to expose her friends and laughs at them.

namjoon laughs again, nodding his head, "alright, not bad. i'll let tae and hobi know," he says, gesturing them to sit and have their meal. but the girls shake their heads, leaving the room, squealing and whispering to each other.

jimin chuckles, turning to the other two kids who are unbothered by their presence and continue having their lunch. more struggling to have their lunch. it's a boy, not more than five years old and an even young girl with him who keeps pushing the spoon away when he tries to bring it close to her mouth and feed her. jimin watches him struggle a few times until the boy starts getting annoyed as well and hits the girl, earning a stronger smack from her.

"hey," jimin decides it's time to intervene and smiles at the two under his mask, approaching them slowly and pulls a chair to sit by the boy, "hello, i'm jimin," he says.

"hi..." the boy mumbles, glancing at his face which is covered with a mask and then at the other two who are also wearing masks. "are you sick?"

"oh, no," jimin shakes his head, taking off the mask and smiles at him, "it's so that people won't recognise us."

"why?"

"because... well, they come to us for pictures and autographs and stuff."

"why?"

"because we're idols," jimin chuckles, "tell me something about yourself now,"

"i'm jungkook," the boy says and holds up his hand, showing five fingers, "i'm five,"

"wow, you're a big boy." jimin says and notices how his words brought a smile to the kid's face. jungkook nods vigorously, slipping down from his chair and holds his arms up to show jimin his biceps, eliciting a chuckle from the elders, "hmm, i see jungkookie is pretty strong,"

"yeah," the boy nods, then points at the young girl, "she's aera, my sister."

"aw really?" jimin looks at the girl who doesn't mind his presence and continues drawing on the table with her finger dipped in sauce.

"yes– ri! don't do that!" jungkook scowls, almost whining to the toddler and pulls her hand back, then runs to grab a tissue and wipes the table clean, "you don't that, it's bad habit okay?"

"no..." aera shakes her head.

"no?" jungkook frowns, tilting his head, "...don't do that," he tells her again and aera nods, extending her arms out for him to carry her which makes the boy pout.

jimin keeps quiet, sitting back as he's curious to see what the boy will do. however he gasps, leaning forward to hold the kids as jungkook climbs on the chair and pulls his sister between his tiny arms, trying his best to carry her, ignoring his own small body. jimin holds his hand, taking aera and puts her down on her feet before helping jungkook down as well.

"do you often try to carry her?" he asks and jungkook nods.

"she my baby sister," jungkook says, holding aera hand as he takes her towards the sink to wash their hands. jimin follows behind the kids, smilling on hearing the boy's words.

jungkook helps aera up on the stool and then climbs next to her, turning on the faucet, "wash yo' hands and yo' mouth," he tells aera who nods and does exactly what her brother told. "good," jungkook praises when she does it nicely and turns off the faucet too, not leaving it for jungkook today.

jimin chuckles at that, turning to his hyung who are smiling fondly, "aren't they really cute?"

"yep, they're cuter than me," jin nods, and namjoon rolls his eyes.

"ignoring that, yes they're adorable." the leader says, "but they're two, jimin."

"i know," jimin sighs, "maybe we can talk to mr kim and also this child, i can take any one of these two."

"alright, great–"

"no," they hear the kid's voice as he tugs on jimin's pants, shaking his head, "don't take us please,"

"uh why not?" jimin crouches in front of him and his sister, "you don't wanna be adopted?"

"yes," he nods, "but- but e'ryone want one baby, not two. and i no' wanna leave riri... please don't take us,"

jimin stares at him, now understanding the five-year-old's concern and clears his throat, "i'm sorry for that, but can we uh–"

"noooo!" jungkook whines, his eyes brimming with tears as he holds his sister's hand tightly and hits jimin's arm, "i will not lea-leavin my sister! koo and riri don't have no' f'ends, only koo and riri are f'ends! don't take koo and riri away!"

"koo," aera looks at him, pouting with a confused look on seeing her brother crying. she steps near him, hugging his tiny waist tightly and looks up, "koo, why you cwying?"

"don't go with anyone..." he mumbles to his sister, hugging her tightly and glares at jimin, "he' bad... he's taking riri away..."

jimin blinks a few times as feels his own eyes getting teary on watching the siblings so young and afraid to get separated. so he sighs softly, rubbing his eyes and smiles, "i won't take your sister away from you," he assures, "i really like you both and i'll be very happy if you and your sister will go with me. i don't have anyone either, so we can be together right?"

"both?" jungkook tilts his head and jimin nods, slowly reaching out to wipe the boy's cheeks and pats his head. "you not bad?"

"no," jimin chuckles, "i wanna take both jungkook and aera with me, if you allow me to."

"mm?" aera looks at him.

"will you go home with me?" he asks again and aera looks at jungkook who seems to be thinking, making jimin sigh, "okay here's a deal,  i understand you don't really trust me, so how about you go with me for a week, live with me and see everything. then you can decide if you wanna stay forever or not?"

jungkook thinks more, then nods, "okay... but you- you don't take riri and koo away, promise?"

"i promise," jimin nods, linking his finger with the boy's, making him smile happily. jimin smiles as well, standing up and holds his hand, gesturing towards the door, "let's go then,"

"let's go!" aera chimes, holding jimin's hand with her one hand and with the other one, holding her brother's hand. namjoon and jin chuckle amusedly, following jimin and the kids out towards the office where mr kim is already standing and talking with a couple who look happy with a little boy standing beside the lady, holding her hand and his thumb connected with his mouth. 

"thank you so much, i wish you all a happy life," mr kim bows as the couple takes their leave. then he turns to jimin, smiling on noticing he's bringing two of the kids with him, "mr jeon, did you decide anything?"

"yes," jimin smiles, glancing at the kids and nods, "i wanna adopt jungkook and aera,"

"both?"

"yes!" jungkook nods, making jimin smile as he nods to confirm his decision, making the old man happy.

"thank you so much, mr jeon. these two have  been waiting here for long now. but nobody adopted them because jungkook didn't want to leave his sister alone, and most people don't want two kids at once."

"i understand," jimin nods, "and i'm glad they can be together this way."

"yes, certainly. please come this way, we can get done with the documents." he leads the way to his office and gestures for the men to have a seat. jungkook stands near jimin's chair, peeking on the paper he's signing on to, then looks at jimin's face just to see him smiling fondly as he glances back at him too.

"are you happy, jungkook?" mr kim asks, pulling on his drawer and picks up two candies, giving one to jungkook and one to his sister who never left jungkook's side, following him around like a little duckling.

"mm-hmm," the boy nods, opening the wrapper of his candy and eats the sugary-soury treat. "i'm happy,"

"and what about aera?" the man smiles at the little girl, lifting her up and makes her sit on his lap, "is aera happy?"

"riri happy," she nods, climbing up to stand on his lap and gives him a hug, "koo and riri mishin' you,"

"aw i'll miss you both too," he chuckles, patting her back and puts her down, looking back at jimin and his two hyungs who are all watching the child with a fond expression. "sir, are you done with that?" he gestures towards the papers, making jimin snap out of his bubble and nods, handing the papers back to the man.

"great, the kids are yours." the man chuckles, standing up and shakes hands with him, "congratulations, not everyone is courageous enough to take such big responsibility, especially at your age."

"thank you, i'm glad i can do it." jimin smiles and looks at the kids, "let's go, are you ready?"

"can i go to the toilet first?" jungkook asks, making the elders chuckle.

"sure, take aera too." jimin pats the boy's head and watches him, taking his sister's hand, talking to her as they both head out of the office.

"is there anything they need to pack? we'll help," jin says.

"not really, younger kids often get the handovers from the older ones. so that's all they have,"

"that's okay," jimin smiles, "anything i should know about the kids? they're both pretty young and i don't wanna miss out anything, y'know?"

"well..." mr kim thinks and nods, "aera has a slightly weak digestion, so she's usually fed baby food, porridge and food like that which is easily digestible. so you might wanna pay attention to that to avoid having her sick."

"oh okay," jimin nods, "and if i may ask how they ended up here?"

"jungkook was almost three and aera was a few months old when we took them in, their parents had a divorce and none of them wanted the kids." mr kim says, sighing deeply as if he was disappointed in the world, especially when it comes to treating suck tender kids.

"what?" jimin and the other two frown, not even ready to believe someone could do that to their own children. that's when jimin re-realised that he was taking a great responsibly by adopting these kids and he wished nothing more than to be able to love these babies the way they deserve.

the door opens and walks in the siblings, both giggling about something as they make their way straight to jimin, making him smile when the little boy holds his hand, gesturing him that they're ready to go. the men shake hands with mr kim, exchanging words of gratitude before taking their leave, and namjoon sighs deeply.

"so we ended up with two kids..." he mutters, staring at the children as jungkook climbs on the backseat of the car while aera still struggles to get up. jin smiles at her, helping her up and makes her sit next to her brother, then sits with them while namjoon shakes his head, sitting in the front with jimin on the driver's seat.

"relax hyung, it's gonna be fine." jimin assures him.

"i know," namjoon nods and points at the two, "but i just realised you're a father now!"

"holy crap! yes, you're right! jiminie is a father now!" jin squeals, "congratulations jimin!"

"right, thanks," jimin smiles widely, "i'm so happy,"

"the others will die when they come to know jimin got two kids and both of them are so cute!"

"yeah, especially tae," namjoon laughs.

jimin spares frequent glances at the back, loving how serene the mere view of the kids looked as aera is on her knees, standing close to the window with her tiny palms touching the surface gently, and jungkook is sitting next to her, gazing out just like his sister but he looks more sleepy.

now that jimin pays attention to it, they look pretty similar. in fact so similar that the only difference jimin could tell between them is their height and the fact that one is girl and the other is a boy. they have the same chocolate brown, doe eyes; thin, tinted lips; chubby cheeks with a natural blush over their persistent baby fat that showed on their rest of the body too. and it made jimin happy that the kids were healthy despite the harsh circumstances life threw on them.

the way was a little longer than when they arrived, for jimin made them stop by a convenience store, claiming that his kids might get hungry by the time they reach home and he should get some snacks for them and baby food for aera as the caregiver from the orphanage said. by the time they made it to the dorm jungkook was fast asleep, whereas aera sat as active as a bird, staring out of the car or trying to wake her brother up. and jimin learnt that jungkook was a heavy sleeper.

the elders step out of the cars first as they believed the kids needed to get along with jimin first before meeting more people, and even jungkook was already tired. so after dropping jin and namjoon at the dorm, jimin drove to his apartment, excited to start his new life with two precious people who he knew were going to complete him and fill his world with lots of happiness and contentment.

he pulls in the driving lot, parking his car aside and gets out, heading to the back seat where aera is asleep too now along with her brother. both the kids looking absolutely adorable and squeeshy to jimin as he watches jungkook's head resting on the toddler's lap while she's leaning on him. he lets out a low chuckle, capturing the moment in his phone and takes a deep breath before carrying the two in his arms, which is when aera woke up with a whimper.

jimin adjusts the girl in his arm and makes her lean on him, "hey, what happened angel? look we're almost at home." he smiles at her, "do you wanna see your new home?"

aera doesn't reply to his talks, instead a cry rolls out of her lips, sending a wave of panic to jimin's body as he tries to calm her down but nothing works. jungkook wakes up pretty fast on having the high-pitched crying right nest to him and pouts, staring at his sister.

"ri, don't cry," he mumbles, rubbing his eyes and looks around, finding jimin's face close to his, making him gasp. "did we come home?"

"yeah, we live in this building," jimin tells him, "do you mind walking? aera's a bit cranky i guess,"

"mm-hmm," jungkook nods and jimin puts him down on his feet, having his full attention on the crying toddler now.

to jimin's surprise as he's trying to make the baby stop crying, jungkook's intent gaze never lessens on him, as though making sure jimin wasn't going to hurt his baby sister. however once aera's quiet and closes her eyes again, leaning onto jimin'd warm chest, the five-year-old relaxes, making jimin smile.

"let's go," he says, grabbing the bag of snacks from the backseat and nods for jungkook to follow him inside building.

jungkook's eyes roam around the elevator and then the hallway of their floor while jimin makes his way to his apartment. glancing back, he makes sure jungkook is following him and opens the door, "hey, kook, come on in." he nods for the boy who runs to him, grinning and enters the place.

"wow..." jungkook mumbles, gaping at the living space with his doe eyes in pure amazement, "you live here?"

"yes, and from today, jungkook and aera will live here too." jimin smiles, ruffling his hair as he sighs in relief on seeing the boy happy with his surroundings. "do you like this place?"

"yes! i love it!" jungkook jumps on his place, "do you watch paw petrol?"

"uhm i guess i can start watching it with you,"

"yes!" the boy giggles, nodding his head as jimin sits himself on the couch and places aera next to him as she's awake and not crying.

"alright, now what do you wanna do fist? are you hungry?"

"no," jungkook shakes his head, leaning on the couch as he keeps rocking side to side from excitement and his eyes scanning the whole place with a fascinated shimmer that never fails make jimin smile.

"and you aera?"

"no," she shakes her head and stands up on the couch, not minding that she still has her shoes on. "where is this?"

"you mean where are we?" jimin chuckles and aera nods,

"where are we?" she repeats, stepping closer to him and gasps, "you pwetty wike a pwince!"

"ah really? but i think jungkookie is the prince, isn't he?" he asks, glancing at the five-year-old who nods vigorously, "yes, and aera is the princess."

"and you?" she asks, poking his cheek and jimin smiles.

"i don't know, we can figure it out later." he sighs deeply, standing up and brings aera down on her feet, "come, i'll show you around and then we should take a shower before dinner."

"okayyy!" the kids sing together, holding either of jimin's hands and follow him inside.

a week later

with a smile stretching jimin's lips and eyes crinkling softly into a smile, he pats aera's back and sighs deeply as both the kids are ready now and he can work on himself. jungkook springs up on his feet, giggling as he extends his arms for jimin to carry him which eventually makes aera whine as she's left behind and pushes her brother away to get near jimin first.

"i'll go!" jungkook hisses, pushing the three-year-old and hugs jimin's arm, sticking his tongue out at the crying sister, "daddy loves koo more!"

jimin wanted to hug aera and make her stop crying, but jungkook's words hit him harder than he ever thought they would. he glances at the boy, smiling at him and wrapping his small arms around his neck, standing on tippy-toes on the bed to come near jimin's height. jimin gently wraps his arms around the young boy, smiling through glistening eyes and pulls him away slowly to look at his face, "what did you say? what did you just c-call me?"

"daddy?" the five-year-old tilts his head, staring at jimin, "you not daddy? you're so nice and- please be koo and riri's daddy. you said we is yo' babies,"

jimin breaks into a chuckle, nodding slowly and brings the boy in his embrace, "of course, i love you both a lot," he whispers fondly, then hears the cries of the toddler getting sharper as she's now squirming on the bed and kicking jungkook. "hey, hey, you don't hit your big brother," jimin chuckles, sitting on the bed and makes aera sit on his lap while the five-year-old still clings onto his arm.

"dadda..." she sobs, hugging him and mumbling something which jimin assumes she's complaining about jungkook. but more than that he wants to jump and dance in happiness hearing her calling him dad for the first time.

"yes princess, kookie wants a hug as well like aera wants." he tries to reason her, patting her back as he's holding her in his arms, "now don't cry, hm? your uncles will come in a while. you wanna meet them right?"

"uncle?" aera looks up with a confused face and so does jungkook, staring at jimin with a frown.

"uncle who?"

"my friends," jimin smiles, holding both the kids and kisses their cheeks, "they'll be riri and kookie's uncles."

"wow! riri wan' uncle!" aera claps her hands, grinning excitedly while jungkook stays quiet, pondering over the thought of having strangers at home. the pout never leaves his lips and eyes keep searching for some comfort and safety in jimin's eyes.

"are you not happy?" jimin asks the boy, standing up and chuckles as the five-year-old doesn't let go and extends his arms for him to carry him. "what happened champ?"

"why uncles?"

"ah okay, let's do one thing. kook can be with daddy all the time okay and don't do anything if he doesn't want to. is that okay?"

"mm-hmm," jungkook nods, "and riri too,"

"yeah, riri too." jimin chuckles ruffling the boy's hair before carrying aera in his other arm and heads to the kitchen, "why don't you both walk?"

"no," aera giggles, "daddy ho'ding baby,"

"ah i see, but that doesn't mean daddy will carry the baby all the time,"

"nooo!" aera pouts,

"which baby are we talking about?" jimin looks at her amusedly, breaking into a fit of laughter when she points at herself, smiling innocently. "okay, so riri's the baby here?"

"yea," she nods subtly, "and koo is big baby,"

"koo's also a little baby," jimin says and makes the two sit on the counter, "now stay here, no playing or pushing each other okay?"

"okayyy!" the two give a thumbs up and jimin smiles at them, putting on the apron before beginning with the cooking work. "daddy, y'know that day you said riri is princess and koo is prince?" jungkook speaks, earning a knowing smile from jimin as he continues working on the counter, nodding his head for the boy to continue, "and we said what is you?"

"are," he chuckles at the mistake, "what are you,"

"yeah," jungkook nods, giggling with his little teeth on display as he turns to his sister, whispering something in her ear and she nods vigorously, clapping her hands. "riri and i- i talked and y'know what we think??" he chirps excitedly with his lips parted into a wide smile that reaches his eyes too, shimmering in excitement and hands raised above his head, displaying how keen he was to tell this to jimin.

"what?"

"you must be king!" the boy almost jumps in his place and the three-year-old cheers, clapping her hands while jimin lets out an amused laugh, stopping with his work and stands facing the kids.

"i am the king? how?" he asks.

"because- because uhm you said riri is princess and i'm prince. and you're daddy so you're king!" jungkook explains with difficulty, taking a deep breath before smiling like earlier, happy that he could get the logic out correctly.

jimin stares at the two, about to melt on the floor with such adorable point and explanation from the five-year-old. he chuckles lightly, nodding his head and steps near the kids, "so because my babies are princess and prince, that makes me a king?"

"yes!" aera nods, "daddy is a'ways king,"

"aw thank you my love," jimin chuckles, hugging the little girl and then jungkook, "sometimes i feel like bringing you both that day was the best decision of my life,"

"daddy wuv you," aera giggles, standing on the counter and pecks jimin's lips, then cackles playfully, sticking to him for a hug.

"aw i love you more, darling." jimin says softly, patting her back as tears pool his eyes, too happy with his life suddenly– actually too happy since the day aera and jungkook became a part of his life. "daddy loves you both to the stars and back, always forever."

"love you daddy!" jungkook grins as well, probably not understanding the depth of jimin's words yet, just like his sister but the fact that the kids started loving him, even called him daddy, and grew such a strong bond that jimin himself finds it difficult to even think about a day when these two won't be around him, although it's just been a week together warms jimin's heart.

the door bell rings, interrupting the family time and jimin pulls away, rubbing the tears away from his eyes. he quickly turns off the stove and puts the children down before going to answer the door with the curious little beans following him closely, both standing behind his legs and peeking from the side. 

"hey jimin!" there are a few men entering the apartment, all giving their dad a hug while both jungkook and aera have their perplexed eyes lingering on the strangers. their hands clutch on the fabric of jimin's joggers, tugging gently which gets them a look from him.

"ah my child, come," he smiles, taking their hands and brings them forward, heading to the living room with the supposedly uncles of the kids. "they're your uncles. i told you about them right?"

"uncle..." aera nods slowly, staring at them and frowns as she fails to understand why the men must be staring at her, all smiling like idiots. she turns to jimin, standing between his legs and leans on his thigh, not bothering to speak or anything as her hand is in her mouth, suckling gently on her thumb and fingers.

meanwhile jungkook sits next to jimin, observing the men carefully with his dark brown eyes. jimin notices the uneasiness of his kids and pats their backs, ready to break the ice, "okay let me first start with the introduction–"

"i'll do it first," the one with the boxy grin chimes, straightening his clothes and clears his throat, looking at the children, "hi, i'm taehyung, you can call me taetae."

"hi," aera says without any hesitation unlike her brother who doesn't look that comfortable with all this. "i' riri," she waves at him, making the men coo at her cuteness.

"good girl," jimin praises, patting her head making her giggle instantly.

she turns to taehyung again and points at jimin and then at jungkook, "this my daddy, and this my b'other',"

"ah we know," taehyung smiles and turns to the rest of the guys, introducing them one by one, "this is namjoon, you can call him joonie. then it's jin, yoongi and hoseok. you can call hoseok, hobi. and we are your uncles."

aera smiles at him, nodding her head slowly as she stares at each of them and giggles, pointing at the second last one, "kitty!"

the elders burst out laughing while yoongi alone sighs, shaking his head and leans forward on his knees, "it's yoongi, little one. say yoongi,"

"yoo'ki?"

"yoongi,"

"yoo'gi, yes," aera giggles and steps closer to touch his cheeks, "you pwetty yoo'gi, but no' my daddy mo-pwetty,"

"hm?" yoongi frowns in confusion, and glances at jimin, "you've got one too young, i can't even understand her."

jimin laughs, shaking his head going to translate the unclear language for his friends but jungkook's voice stops him in the middle. the five-year-old laughs, understanding his sister and nods, "she's saying yoo'gi is pretty but, daddy is more pretty,"

"ah i see," yoongi sighs, nodding his head, "well yeah, we can't argue on that can we?"

"no," jungkook laughs, slipping down from the couch and stands in front of yoongi, but still close to jimin, "hi, i'm kook, and i'm five years old,"

"you're small," yoongi jokes, scrunching up his face, making jungkook frown at him, turning to jimin who smiles, shaking his head.

"no, daddy said i'm big boy,"

"is that so? do you know what big boys do?"

"mm-hmm, i' taking care of my sister, that is big boy."

"oh that is indeed a big boy thing," yoongi nods, patting jungkook's head, "good job. but you didn't tell me your complete name."

"kook– jungkook," he says, "jeon jungkook. and riri is jeon aera."

"and what's your daddy's name?"

"jeon jimin," he says and sits on his place again, letting out a small yawn.

"they're so cute jimin, i can't tell you how jealous i am right now." taehyung whines, "i want kids too!"

"go for it," jimin shrugs, "i would personally suggest you it's best decision ever. i've been so happy this whole week with them, this is like a dream." he says, glancing at the kids and notices jungkook is slouching against him. he sighs softly, bringing the boy on his lap and strokes his hair, "are you sleepy?"

jungkook nods, rubbing his eyes and nuzzles into jimin's chest who smiles, patting his back gently and looks at aera who is watching him putting her brother to sleep, making him chuckle, knowing that she must be jealous. "what? you wanna sleep too?"

"i' sitting wid daddy..." she mumbles climbing on his free leg and secures her place, pushing jungkook away, making the boy whine and break into a sob.

"hey, no," jimin stops her with a firm voice, "i told you not to hit each other right?"

aera nods slowly, her face dropping into a pout and guilty eyes while jungkook sobs out out of crankiness, hugging jimin tightly, "riri is bad... why she keep hitting me..."

"i'm so sorry, champ. she didn't mean to hit you. she just wanted to sit with us,"

"i don't like riri... go away..."

"we don't say that, kook. she's your sister isn't she? and you're the big brother, you should forgive her, she'll say sorry okay?" he says and turns to the three-year-old, "say sorry to kookie."

"sowwy koo," aera apologizes immediately, hugging the brother from the side, "no' cwy, koo. riri sowwy..."

"okay," jungkook mumbles, resting again like he did before and closes his eyes, not interested in talking more to the guilty sister. she looks at jimin and he nods assuringly, lifting her up a little in his arm and makes her rest her head on his shoulder.

"close your eyes and sleep if your sleepy,"

"no," aera lifts her head up and looks at him, "le's playing..."

"we'll play later when kookie is up, let him sleep for now." he says.

"okay," aera nods, leaning on jimin and closes her eyes too.

"they always sleep wth you?" hoseok asks, smiling at the cute kids, snuggling in jimin's chest.

"yeah, the second day they were here we were watching a movie and they fell asleep like this. they've been sleeping this way ever since," he speaks softly, glancing down at the kids and sighs softly, "they haven't eaten anything," he scrunches his face, shaking his head as he stands up once confirming that they both are asleep.

"why?" jin asks.

"they were playing after breakfast and then it took more than an hour to get both of them to shower. after that i was going to feed them–"

"but we arrived," namjoon laughs a little and jimin nods.

"it's okay, they'll eat when they wake up. i'll come in a minute," the boys nod and jimin leaves for his room, laying the kids on the bed and places a few pillows on either side so they won't fall down. he covers them with a blanket and and presses a kiss on top of their heads, smiling at the cute faces, "my babies,"

he returns to the living room with a smile, taking a seat after bringing some drinks and snacks for the guys. "they forgot us already," jin points out, laughing a little as he looks at jimin who shrugs his shoulders, sipping from his glass of wine.

"i know," namjoon hums, "i thought at least jungkook would remember us since we were the ones to meet him the first day,"

"yeah i guess," jimin chuckles, "he was asking about you the other day, like who were those people who came with you,"

"ah so you're the one who didn't tell them about us," namjoon scolds jimin fake angrily, making the boys laugh.

"but jimin on a serious note, how does it feel?" jin asks,

"to have them?" jimin smiles, "it's the best thing i ever did. i'm not saying my life was any bad before they came, but yes it's gotten much better. my whole day just passes with nursery rhymes playing or counting or singing a-b-c with aera and jungkook. i'm happy the kids have me now and i have them."

"i'm so gonna have kids now!" taehyung announces, "next father will be kim taehyung! note that!"

"adoption?"

"probably, yes," taehyung says, "because the birth procedure will take nine months."

"you're too much," the elders roll their eyes and taehyung laughs.

"okay okay, i'm just kidding. but i'm gonna make sure i love my kids a lot in future."
