''One mint-Choco for me, two strawberry for Mumma and what about you uncle Chim?'' Taegguk asked teasingly making the silver haired boy glare at him while Taehyung chuckled. The mother son duo was on an ice-cream date as it was Sunday and both of them always goes out together to have dinner date or just an ice-cream date and today, Jimin also decided to join them.

Its not like that the silver haired boy had came on an ice-cream outing for the first time with them or if Taegguk didn't know Jimin's preferred ice-cream flavour, its just that he loves to tease the boy.

''Do I look like some oldie to you, Bunny boy?'' He asked offended making the boy nod his head, trying hard to control his laugh.

''You are my Mumma's best friend, Uncle Chim...that means you are in your thirties and I am just sixteen. What else should I call you if not uncle?'' He asked back making Jimin look at him extra sweetly which made Taegguk raise his eyebrow.

''You know I can pull your ears, Taegguk?'' He asked suggestively making the boy make a scared face.

''Oh no...please uncle Chim, I am scared.'' He replied still faking horror.

''Tae...your son is bullying me now.'' He complained to the blonde who himself was laughing at his best friend's whining face.

''He is a kid, Chim....''

''Your kid is a bully.''

''I don't think so. He is the most understanding and kindest soul in this planet, Chim.'' Taehyung also took Taegguk's side who smiled his infamous bunny smile making Jimin pout.

''You have changed, Taetae.'' He complained still pouting making Taegguk laugh while Taehyung shook his head as he tried to stop himself from chuckling.

''He is just messing with you, Chim....you know how much he loves you.'' The blonde said making Jimin look at Taegguk who shook his head.

''Not at all....'' The brunette replied offended.

''See...he is shaking his head.'' Jimin said making Taehyung turn to look at his son who smiled sheepishly.

''Gguk.... Stop bullying him son, or else your uncle Chim will start crying.'' He said making his son chuckle while Jimin looked at his best friend at the sudden betrayal.

''TAE!!''

''Ok sorry sorry....I was just joking.'' The blonde raised his hands in surrender while Jimin still looked at him in disbelief.

''Sorry, Jiminie....I'll buy you two ice-creams...but don't cry, okay?'' Taegguk asked standing up from the table making Jimin glare at him. The boy chuckled and ran away leaving Taehyung laughing. At last, the silver haired boy also couldn't stop himself from smiling looking at the boy hopping towards the counter.

''He has grown up.'' He said to no one still looking at Taegguk buying ice-creams for them.

''He grew up a long time ago, Chim.'' The blonde replied looking at his son now, eyes showing sadness just for a moment before he blinked it away and looked back at his best friend.

''When is Hyung coming to meet you?'' He asked changing the topic and Jimin knew it but he didn't tried to show it. He only smiled and shook his head.

''I don't know. He said he will surprise me.''

''You guys should settle down now. Its been years.'' Taehyung suggested making Jimin nod.

''Yeah...let's see.'' Both of them smiled when Taegguk placed their ice-creams in front of them and settled down beside the blonde.

''Tomorrow is my match, Chimchim. Don't forget to come.'' He started looking at his ice-cream and Jimin's eyes lit up.

''Oh wow.... I had been waiting for your match, my jock. I'll definitely be there to cheer you up.'' He said making the boy smile.

''Alright...just don't shout too hard to cheer me. I don't want Yoongi uncle to kill me if you died because of heart attack.'' Taegguk joked making Taehyung chuckle again.

''Gguk!!'' The silver haired boy whined.

''Sorry....When are you guys getting married by the way? You are getting old everyday.'' He asked taking a spoonful of ice-cream making Jimin look at him pointedly.

''I still look more younger than you.. okay?''

''And this, ladies and gentleman, is the biggest lie of the century.'' The brunette said raising his hands as if he was announcing it to the audience making Jimin hit him lightly and all of them chuckled together.

''But I have a question. Why are you in a relationship with a sleepy, lazy cat who can't even come to meet you every week?'' The brunette asked again making Jimin look at him as he nodded the boy to continue further.

''I am telling you Chim chim...you should marry me.'' The boy offered and Jimin made a gagged face.

''No thank you. I would have married you but I don't like that face of yours.'' He replied uninterestingly and Taegguk made an offended face.

''Excuse me!! Everyone is crazy about this face...Okay?'' He asked making Jimin roll his eyes.

''And that everyone includes?'' He asked raising his eyebrow.

''Oh you don't know, Uncle Chim-''

''Don't call me that.''

''Okay fine....You don't know but I am the hot topic of my whole school. Alright? So think ten times before you insult this handsome face of mine.'' He replied warningly making Jimin chuckle.

''Aww....my cutie little bunny baby has grown up. Aww, my round, squishy baby is talk of the town now?'' Jimin asked pinching the boy's cheek's who groaned at the pain.

Both of them were bantering while Taehyung looked at his son talking to Jimin happily while eating that mint-Choco ice-cream. The blonde couldn't stop his mind from going to the person from whom Taegguk got everything....from his appearance to his habits.

He also has the same black, shining, doe eyes, coconut head, cute button nose, chubby cheeks, beautiful thin lips with a mole under it, silky hairs just the colour was slightly different, those bunny teeth and almost same height.....everything about his son reminds Taehyung of a person he loved with his everything at some point of his life.

He was a Xerox of his biological father.

His copy paste.

Not only the appearance, their habits matches to a great extent. Banana milk is Taegguk's favourite, just like a certain ravenette who he knew once in his life. Taegguk also eats like a hungry bunny, he also pouts like his father, the boy also whines like a certain ravenette.The choices of food, music, dressing sense...everything.

Every little thing he inherited from his father whom the boy had never seen.

The only difference was that Taegguk got the caring, kind and sweet nature from his mother. He knows his responsibilities, he knows his priorities.

The brunette knows the importance of people in his life.

And he knew how to cherish them. Unlike his father who never tried even once to search for them.

The blonde didn't realise the tears that formed in his eyes. He was taken out of his thoughts when someone shook him. The boy looked around himself and immediately blinked away the tears but that didn't go unnoticed by his son who got worried for his precious mother.

''What happened, Mumma? Why are you crying?'' He asked holding Taehyung's hand who chuckled wiping the tear from his eye.

''Ah....I-Its nothing, Gguk....I think something went in my eye.'' He lied but Jimin as well as Taegguk clearly saw through it.

''Are you okay, Mumma?'' Taegguk asked again making Taehyung look at his son and he immediately felt bad for tearing up. The brunette looked like he will start crying.

It had always been like it. Taehyung never got to cry after Taegguk was born. If his son ever saw his mother shedding tears, he would always start crying with him and that's when Taehyung decided that he won't cry anymore.

He will always be happy for his son.

But some scars on your heart never goes. Something or the other always scratch them making those wounds fresh and you feel all the pain from even years ago as raw as it had been in the beginning.

''I am fine, Gguk...I actually am. Don't worry.'' He replied smiling. Jimin squeezed the boy's hand making Taehyung nod towards him as well while the brunette looked into the distance angrily.

He was not naïve. He knew everything. Every little thing that Taehyung had went through. He had seen Taehyung crying helplessly in his bedroom one day when he came back from school. He remembered he had asked Taehyung about his father's whereabouts, why they live away from him? Why his father don't visit them? And all those questions had made the blonde feel so helpless that he couldn't control himself anymore and its then, when the brunette asked everything from Jimin.

Taehyung had always told everything good about Jungkook to his son , he had requested the same from Jimin and Yoongi as well but the silver haired boy couldn't control himself when Taegguk came to him with all the questions.

His own anger at Jungkook made Jimin spit everything to the brunette who was so devastated to know the reality of his father. He was just a kid back then but the boy was so mature to his age that he never asked about his father after that day.

Instead, he promised to himself that he will not let Taehyung cry again.

The boy loathe his father with his everything.

And Taehyung knew about it.

He had been mad at Jimin for telling all that to a kid but then he realised that he can't hide everything from the boy for long. Its better to tell him everything as soon as possible so that he don't hope much from his father.

And no one had talked about Jungkook in their household after that day. Both of them had cried hugging each other so that they don't have to cry again. It was kind of a silent pact and they were following it even today.

The boy will never forgive the human who was unfortunately his father, he had swear to God.

On the other hand, Jungkook was in his room at the hotel. The boy had cancelled his flight and decided to stay a little longer in the city to think what he should do now.

Right now, he was sitting on the couch and going through Taehyung's paintings on Google. There wasn't much information available about Taehyung's whereabouts apart from it that his name is V, which of course, he had changed, and that he is a very famous painter. No information about his family or friends was available because Taehyung was very reserved person. He liked to keep his personal life away from his professional life.

Only his paintings were available which were clearly showing what kind of a person V is. The use of vibrant colours with such precision and combination that anyone would get lost in the maze of strokes of brush instead of going into the deeper meaning of the painting clearly told that the painter is a deep thinker.

That he likes to keep his inner feelings hidden under a mask of colours of happiness and smile.

Every painting made Jungkook feel the things Taehyung would have been feeling while painting a white canvas with his mind thinking about thousands of things and the boy only got more restless to meet his husband.

So he decided to visit the museum again.

Maybe he can get some information about Taehyung from there.

Not knowing that his life is going to take the most unexpected turns after that day.
