After spending some time at the beach, I returned to the house. The ambience here is so warm, cosy and welcoming. This house radiates love as if made by it. No doubt, Jungkook said it was Mr Jeon's and Mrs Jeon's vacation home. Moreover, they came here to spend some time together.

Hanging my coat on the hanger and wearing my slippers, I walked inside. Everyone was gathered around the fireplace. Nana sat in the recliner busy reading a book. Mr Jeon and Namjoon were playing chess, seeming immersed in it. Mrs Jeon, Laura and Katie were relaxing watching TV.

The kids were playing and running around. The only kid here was busy decorating the Christmas tree. Jungkook and Jin were playing a tag game. Jungkook is chasing Jin wearing a white beard looking goofy with an artificial big candy cane. I shake my head at them.

With steady steps, I approached Jun who had a cute, frustrated frown on his face. Before I could take a step, the wooden floor made a creaking sound, turning everyone's attention on me. I close my eyes, shit really.

Jungkook and Jun's eyes glinted at me, and both ran towards me. The first one to tackle me, almost making us fall backwards was Jun.

"I thought you left again. I woke up and didn't find you. Jungkook told me not to disturb you". Jun's voice came out as murmured as he hugged my legs tightly.

Looking up at me with pouty lips, his eyes glistened. My heart stopped for a second, how dumb I am? Jungkook picked Jun by his collar, lifting him as if he didn't weigh anything. Just like lifting a dumbbell with ease and grace.

I kept my hand on his chest, pushing him slightly as he leaned for a kiss. He frowned at me, I jutted my chin towards Nana's direction. That old woman is acting as if the book is the most interesting thing. I smiled only if the book was not inverted and from the corner of her eyes she was not spying on us.

"Keep it PG13". I smiled sweetly at him, our status update is in progress, so we have to do what we gotta do. At least in front of his family.

"Bueno, no estoy metiendo mi lengua en to Garganta, ¿verdad?". Jungkook said, darting his tongue out and licking his lips trying to prove a point. That would have been sexy if that beard was not in his way. But, goddammit, it was sexy as hell. (Well, I'm not sticking my tongue down your throat, Am I?)

That didn't stop him, he continued.

" 하고 싶다, 너를 통째로 삼키고 싶다. 난 그냥 지금하지 않습니다. "

I was stunned into silence by his words. (I want to, I want to swallow you whole, just not now.)

When he spoke in his native language and my native language, I almost pooled in the puddle of my lust. I didn't understand the second one, but the tone was promising. Promising me something.

And if I am not wrong, he is going to keep his promise to devour me whole with his previous statement.

"I am still here, you know?". Jun said, tugging Jungkook's beard. Jungkook yelped as Jun harshly tugged it again. We almost, keyword: almost.

Forget he or anyone was there in this room, and Lord, I was cringing in embarrassment only praying no one heard it.

Jungkook spoke in his low register voice, deep and low still.

I took Jun in my arms who scowled at Jungkook. What's wrong with him? Why is he so moody?

His little arms wrapped around me, "So, what are we going to do? I asked in a cheerful tone to lighten his mood.

Jungkook joined us in a minute

"Almost done with the Christmas tree, I couldn't reach up there. I didn't decorate that. "

"Okay so how about Jungkook will help you with that? How does that sound?". Jun seemed to contemplate the answer which he never does.

"You are not going to go anywhere, right?". He timidly said. I worriedly looked at Jungkook who mimicked my expression.

"No sweetie, I am right here. I am going to help you both". Jun never hesitates either, he never stops himself from doing something. He is always the kid of his mind, always speaking his mind.

For some time we helped Jun then put all the gifts under the tree. Just as a familiar voice cut through the room. My ears perked as I quickly followed the enchanting voice and Jun right on my toe.

I saw Jungkook rolling his eyes, but I didn't pay any attention. I entered the fireplace and saw Taehyung acting in his new drama show. My eyes twinkled. Katie waved her hand towards me, patting the space beside her. I even saw Nana having her whole attention on Taehyung.

I sat beside Katie as Jun sat on my lap mesmerised by Taehyung. We were all there, all the women present here aside from Jun who seemed invested in the drama.

"Here we go again". I heard Mr Jeon muttering, and collective sighs followed. We still didn't bother giving them our attention. He looks so much more handsome now. Each word, his voice pulls us in as a snake charmer plays the wind instrument.

"Hello". Jin echoed, we still ignored them. I laughed as Tae tripped a little."Okay, we are going to go to the kitchen to feed your asses".

If Nana was not so hypnotized by Taehyung she would have yetted Jin out of the window for his foul language. The queue for collective sighs. Including ours too for a different reason, for Taehyung being ethereal.

They left us alone seeing they are not going to get a reaction from us at least until this drama episode is over. No, Damn what the hell, girl, say yes. Enjoy the luxury of having Kim Taehyung with you.

I stretched my limbs sitting on this sofa with Jun on my lap for 1 hour. My legs are numb.

"Let's go, baby, it's shower time". Katie said, reaching out for Jun who was wailing. I laughed but stopped because Jun slapped Katie's hand away, jumping from my lap and running away.

"I don't want to, especially with you". Jun yelled, skipping two stairs at a time. Things turned 180 so soon, one moment we were just sitting, and it's unlikely for Jun to throw a tantrum.

I saw Katie and Namjoon share a concerned look. Katie stood up to go after Jun. "No wait, I will check up on him". I said, Katie curtly nodded.

"I will come with you". Jungkook and I quickly ran upstairs to check on him.

"You know which room he might be in, so it can save time searching for him". I opened the door of the first room right beside the stair.

"Yeah our room, probably."

I didn't correct Jungkook that Nana wouldn't allow us to stay in one room together with our status being friends. This was not the time, so I just followed Jungkook.

Jun sat on the edge of the bed, his head down looking at his hands." Mom and Dad don't like me anymore".

Jungkook and I nodded at each other before kneeling on either side of Jun.

"Why would you say that, baby?" I pushed his hair back a little to see his face. Tears rolled down his eyes. I wipe his tears away gently cupping his cheeks, so he was looking at me.

"Mom forgot to pick me up from school because she had to go somewhere, even Dad yelled at me because I was playing with mom and jumping as I usually do. He would say be cautious, mom will get hurt. I understand, but I used to do this before, he never stopped me." Jun sniffled a little "Dad is busy, and when he is not, he spends time with mom".

Jungkook grabbed Jun's tiny hands, kissing his palm softly. "I stopped engaging in conversation with them, keeping it minimal. I didn't ask or say anything".

We didn't say anything, whatever we say won't change his mind. Jungkook looked at me knowingly. Katie is pregnant, she hasn't told this news to anyone. Maybe she wants to surprise everyone, but due to her pregnancy, Jun has been neglected.

I can understand kids don't come with a memo. There are many guidebooks about how to take care of kids, but every kid is different. I am not the one to judge this. I can be sure Katie loves Jun very much, so does Namjoon, and they would never hurt Jun. Not intentionally.

"You told, Mom and Dad, how you feel". I said it, Jun shook his head and burst into tears. Jungkook took him in his embrace, and I hugged them both. I kissed Jun's hair murmuring soothing words.

Once he calms down, we can talk or, better, if Namjoon and Katie do. Even his constant burst out they don't know they are worried about him too."Can I sleep with you both tonight, please?".

With those teary puppy eyes who can deny him. I sighed, caressing his cheek gently which was red because of crying. Jun jumped happily on the bed, Jungkook quickly tackled him, tickling him.

"Buddy let's take a bath first, you stink". Jungkook said, sniffling him and mockingly scrunching his nose. Jun blew a raspberry. Jungkook picked him up in the air like an airplane. "Let's go!".

The whole time a smile was present on my face seeing them so happy together. I couldn't help but think about us being like this with our kids.

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

"Thank you very much for yesterday". Katie said we watched Jungkook and Jun in cold water. I shivered, rubbing my hands on my arms. It's a bad idea, beaches in winter.

"No it's nothing". I said" Hm, Katie?".

She hummed in response."You should talk with Jun, he is upset and hurt by you, that's the reason he is keeping his distance from you both".

I tried to keep it as civil as I could. It's none of my business, but Jun is hurting, and he needs someone right now. Even with Katie's pregnancy, neglecting Jun unknowingly would push him beyond repair.

"You know". Surprising me, Katie said,"My guess was you noticed the symptoms or Jun's words gave it away."

I sheepishly nodded. We laughed lightly, my gaze travelling over Jungkook's figure. Hot famishing with sunglasses on. God did him good, no one looks so hot sometimes, I think he is unreal. Flipping his hair back, Jungkook walked towards me as if he came right back from a Kevin Calvin advertisement. The visuals make me fan my face even in this cold weather.

Jungkook let his sultry eyes trail, taking in my soft baby blue dress. He raised his eyebrows at my expression. Quickly picking up my jaw and dignity of the ground, I straightened my back and looked at Katie as if I didn't check him out or didn't want to just kneel down and.......

Katie looked at me with amusement. I gave her a pleading look to save me and say nothing to embarrass me further.

Jungkook stood in front of me with a smirk, not waiting for me to say anything, he grabbed me by my waist and threw me over his shoulder. I screamed in surprise.

"Later, Ciao". Jungkook's voice vibrated through me, I couldn't see their expression, but I was sure as hell they shared a not so subtle, eloquent gaze.

"Where are you taking me?" I banged my fists, wiggling a little so his shoulder was painfully poking me. God this is so uncomfortable.

"Quit moving". Jungkook said slapping my ass, I was stunned again, the stung burned, but Jungkook rubbed it to sooth it. My dress was short, so it rides up my thigh every time Jungkook walked. No one was on the beach, Jungkook seemed to notice as he pulled my dress down a little. I let him take me wherever he wanted. The blood rushed to my head, and I was feeling light headed.

"Hurry the fuck up, I am dizzy".

Jungkook turned his head to kiss my thigh before biting it."Okay, Ma'am".

Jungkook put me down in a room I haven't seen. Instead of looking around, I was busy stabilizing myself on my feet. I stumbled, but Jungkook held me.

Closing my eyes to have clear vision. I opened and gasped as I saw the room. A fully equipped gym room lights were dimmed low.
