It's a bright sunny morning of winter. Two boys are siting in a beautiful garden. One of them looks like ten or eleven years old while the other one is rather little may be three or four.

There were papers, copies and colours scattered around them. Both of them seems to be engrossed in painting.

The older boy noticed that the younger one is pouting while he's trying to drawn a butterfly, the child seems to be distracted, little sad.

"What happened Taetae? Why do you look sad?" The older boy asked concerned.

"Becoz Taetae iz saadh" came the reply from the little cutie.

The older boy pulled Taetae on his lap "why is Taetae sad?" He inquired.

"Taetae can't come to Kookie hyung next week" the child finally told the reason for his sadness "Eomma said we ave (have) to go to Woobin untle's (uncle) malliage (marriage) next week"

Kookie too felt sad hearing it, he won't be able to meet his Taetae next week but he didn't want Taetae to know that he is sad because then Taetae will start crying and he doesn't want that to happen.

So Kookie smiled a little and said "it's okay Taetae you can come to meet me the week after next, I'll be waiting for you"

But Taetae is still not convinced "but Taetae don't want to go, Taetae will missh Kookie hyung" he said pouting.

"Kookie hyung will also miss Taetae, but your Woobin uncle loves you so won't he feel sad if you don't go to his marriage? Do you want him to be sad?" Kookie tried make the little angel understand.

Taetae nodded his head "no I don't, Otay I'll go" he agreed half-heartedly.

"That's my Taetae" Kookie smiled and kissed his fluffy cheek.

"Kookie hyung, what iz malliage?" Taetae asked curiously.

Now what should Kookie say, how do you tell a four year old what marriage is? Actually what he himself knows about marriage, he's just eleven after all.

Kookie saw how Taetae is looking expectantly at him, according to Taetae there is nothing that his Kookie hyung doesn't know.

"Umm.. Taetae marriage is" Kookie started "marriage is, when two people decide to live together for all their lives they do marriage, they marry each other" he somehow managed to explain it.

"Hmm" Taetae nodded his head, like he understood it.

Kookie looked at Taetae who seemed to be calculating something in his mind.

"What are you thinking?" Kookie asked curiously.

"So you can always live together if you do malliage?" Taetae asked and Kookie nodded his head in affirmation "Otay then I'll do malliage with you" Taetae declared with a big smile on his face.

Kookie was shocked hearing it "Taetae you shouldn't say something like that" he told the younger boy.

"But why" Taetae whined "I want to always live together with Kookie hyung, you don't want to live with me" he asked, tears ready to fall from his doe eyes.

Kookie can never see his Taetae crying, so he hurriedly said "no Taetae it's not like that, Kookie hyung wants to always live with you too" he told him and saw the child smile gleefully.

"Otay then let's do malliage now" he said.

"No Taetae we can't do marriage now, you do marriage when you grow up" Kookie explained.

"Oh" Taetae pouted "I need to grow up to do malliage" he said "Otay then plomish me you will do marriage with me when I grow up" he demanded.

"Okay I promise when you grow up I'll do marriage with him" Kookie answered and Taetae rewarded him with a big boxy smile.

"Taetae too plomish, Taetae will always be with Kookie hyung, Taetae will never leave Kookie hyung" Taetae promised.

Tae opened his eyes, waking up from the dream he just had. But it's not just a dream, it's a memory, a beautiful memory of his childhood, which his brain had hidden in it's remote corner, but today he finally remembered it.

It was dark outside, indicating that it's still night, the only source of light is the dim light of the nigh lamp in the room.

Tae peered at the face of the man, who was sleeping beside him, holding him in his protective embrace, his husband, his Kookie hyung. The light from the night lamp falling on Jungkook's face, it's illuminatng his handsome face, making him look ethreal "and he calls me Angel, does he even have any idea how godly he himself looks" Tae thought.

Tae started tracing Jungkook's face with his finger, his forehead, his shaped eyebrows, his eyes that speaks volumes of love for Tae, his cheeks that Tae loves to kiss, the scar on his cheek, the mole under his lips, his lips that always oh so passionately kisses Tae.

Tae traced Jungkook's lips with his thumb "you kept your promise but I didn't. I promised that I will never leave you yet I left you alone. How lonely you must have been for all this years." A tear fell from Tae's eyes as he thought this.

"Believe me you will never feel lonely ever again because I will never again leave you Kookie hyung" Tae promised and gently pecked Jungkook's lips. As Tae took his lips off the older's, he saw his Kookie's lips curving into a beautiful smile in sleep. Tae kissed Jungkook's forehead and placed his head on the older's chest, listening to his favorite music in the world, the heartbeats of his Kookie. Tae closed his eyes and felt Jungkook pulling him more into his arms in sleep and he smiled feeling it.

Jungkook found Tae all snuggled up to his chest as he opened his eyes waking up from his deep slumber. He smiled feeling his Angel's warm body close to him. His heart felt peaceful seeing his baby sleeping soundly in his embrace.

Jungkook made Tae sleep on his back and started feeling his face and neck with his hand to find out if the boy has fever or something. But he sighed in relief when he found Tae's temperature normal. He placed a soft kiss on the sleeping boy's forehead.

Jungkook saw the time, it's 8:30am, he was going to get get out of the bed when Tae whined in his sleep and pulled Jungkook to himself by snaking his arms around the older's neck.

Tae tucked his face in the crook of Jungkook's neck "stay" he mumbled half sleepily "I want sleep some more, stay with me" he demanded.

Will Jungkook ever deny his baby? Well we all know the answer is no.

"Sleep my love, I'll be here with you" Jungkook lovingly said and caressed his hair.

Tae took his face off Jungkook's neck and pulled the older to his chest. He placed Jungkook's head on his chest and wrapped his arms around him.

"I want to sleep like this" he informed Jungkook who smiled at the cute antics of his baby.

Jungkook closed his eyes and almost immediately fell asleep as he listened to the steady heartbeats of his Angel.

It was twelve when the ringing of his phone finally woke Jungkook up from his sleep. He lazily opened his eyes and stretched his hand to the bedside table where his phone was kept. He took the phone in his hand and looked at the screen only to find Hoseok's name on the caller ID. He looked at Tae who was frowning in his sleep, clearly disturbed by the loud ringing of the phone. He decided to get out of the bed so not to disturb the younger.

But Tae didn't let him leave the bed "umm.. no..." He whined still half asleep and hugged Jungkook even more tightly.

Jungkook sighed and sat up leaning his back on the headboard and pulled the half asleep boy close to his chest, hugging him with one hand and received the call with the other.

"Hello Kook" came the cheerful voice of his best friend.

"H..hello Hobi good morning" Jungkook said in a gruffy voice.

"Good morning?" Hobi asked puzzled "did you just wake up?"

"Hmm" Jungkook answered while caressing Tae's fluffy hair, he just loves to run his fingers through those soft golden traces.

"Aah okay, I got it" Hobi said "btw it's not morning anymore, it's noon" he informed and that's when Jungkook noticed the time.

"Oh no it's noon already, looks like we really overslept" Jungkook told him.

"Hey it happens, after everything that happened you two indeed needed some rest, it's good that you slept more"Hobi continued "by the way are you guys still up for the plan we made for this evening? I called you ask that" he said.

Well it's 31st December and they earlier had decided to go to Daecheon beach celebrate the new year's Eve. That place is famous for the event that happens there on this day, beach party, live music performance, fireworks everything would be there. A lot of people attends it.

Actually Tae and Jimin wanted to attend that event for years but couldn't because for once they were minors so their parents never agreed to let them go there and they didn't have anyone to go with too. But this year when they aren't minor anymore and both have partners, they're adamant to go and Soomin too joined their team. And we all know how whipped the three best friends are for their loves, so they agreed to take them to that event.

Jungkook looked at his sleeping husband hearing Hoseok's question and remembered how excited he was for this event.

"Hmm we will go" he answered Hobi.

"Alright then we will pick you up at 7:30, be ready" Hobi told him.

"We will be waiting" Jungkook replied.

"Okay then I'll hang up now. See you in the evening"

"Okay"

Hobi ended the call.

Jungkook placed the phone back on bedside table and turned to Tae.

"Wake up my Angel" he softy whispered in Tae's year.

"Please Kookie a little more" Tae whined.

"It's already late, Please wake up baby" Jungkook again tried but the boy in his arms didn't budge.

"Alright, then I'll just call Hobi and tell him that we are not going to Daecheon beach because my baby wants to sleep and doesn't want to leave the bed" Jungkook told him in a fake serious voice.

Jungkook's words did the trick. As soon as Tae heard the beach's name all his sleep was gone, he sat up on the bed and glared cutely at his husband "Don't you dare Kookie, I'll really beat you up if you do so" he cutely threatened Jungkook.

Jungkook laughed seeing his cuteness and pinched Tae's fluffy cheeks "okay I won't but you have to get up too" he bargained.

"Okay" Tae agreed half-heartedly and pouted.

Jungkook looked at his pouty baby and placed his lips on his, kissing the pout away.

Tae hit Jungkook on his chest once he broke the kiss "why did you kiss me? I haven't even brushed yet, I have morning breath" he whined.

"Does it look like I care" Jungkook asked raising his brows and Tae felt his cheeks heating at the older's bold remark.

Jungkook saw his baby's face turning red and immediately kissed his cheeks, first right then left "okay enough of your blushing, now common let us get out of the bed and freshen up" he told the blushing boy who nodded his head and got down from the bed, Jungkook did the same.

Tae was going to exit the room when Jungkook called him "baby" and walked to him. Jungkook placed a loving kiss on his forehead "good morning baby" he said.

Tae stared at Jungkook and then pecked him on his lips "good morning Kookie" he mumbled and ran out, trying to hide his blushing cheeks.

Jungkook smiled heartily at the antics of his cute baby.

After Tae went to freshen up in his room, Jungkook did the same too. Once he was all freshened up, he exited his room. He didn't find Tae in the living room, the younger was still freshening up. Jungkook decided to order lunch for them, well it's already late and cooking will take time and he doesn't want his Angel to stay hungry so long, so he ordered from outside.

After sometime Tae came out of his room, he was still wearing Jungkook's hoodie with a pair of his own sweatpants. Jungkook smiled seeing his baby in his dress. He looks so cute like this, he thought.

Tae and sat beside Jungkook on the couch "Kookie I'm hungry" he told him.

"I know baby, just wait a little, the food is on the way" Jungkook informed the younger.

"Hmm" Tae hummed and sat there leaning his head on the older's shoulder.

After a while the doorbell rang. Jungkook went and got the food from the delivery boy. "come baby let's eat" Jungkook called Tae as he was going to the dinning table. Tae followed him.

They were washing the dishes after eating when once again the doorbell rang. "I'll see it" Tae said to his husband and went to open the door.

As he opened the door, he saw his father's driver and another guy standing there holding gifts in their hands. Those are the gifts that Tae received in his birthday party.

Tae sighed looking at those gifts "is this all or you have more?" He asked to which the driver answered "we have more in the car."

"Okay bring them too" Tae told them and they did bring them.

When Jungkook came to the living room after being done with his tusk, he found Tae standing in the middle of piles of gifts.

"What is this?" He asked shocked.

"Gifts from the party" Tae informed him.

Jungkook scanned the pile and then looked at his husband again "do we need to open them all?" He asked.

"No" Tae said "we need to sort them first" he informed his husband.

"Sort them?" Jungkook asked puzzled.

"Yes, sort them" Tae said "come help me, put the gifts from our family and friends in one side and others in other side."

"Hmm okay" Jungkook nodded and started helping the younger.

As they were sorting the gifts Jungkook saw one that had no name on it "baby what do I do with this one? It has no name written on it" he asked.

"Keep it separately Kookie, we need to open it to see if it is a gift or bribe" Tae told him.

"Bribe?" Jungkook questioned feeling puzzled.

"Hmm bribe, the things from all those business associates of appa. They just want to impress us with those expensive gifts, to be in appa's good book. According to Eomma these are actually bribes" Tae explained and Jungkook nodded his head in understanding.

"Those are only expensive things on which I have no interest, so waste our time opening them" Tae further added.

Jungkook felt proud of his baby hearing these words. He is not interested in materialistic things, he values the feelings more than things.

After they were done with the sorting "let's open the real gifts" Tae said excitedly going to the pile that contained gifts from their family and friends.

"What about these?" Jungkook asked pointing to the huge pile of what Tae called bribes.

"Oh don't worry, I'll ask Eomma to send someone to pick these up. He will later donate them to somewhere." tae told Jungkook "now come on let's open the gifts" he said excitedly.

Jungkook smiled seeing his excitement "okay, let's do it" he said.

The couple sat on the floor and started opening the gifts. Those are the gifts from Tae's parents, Jungkook's best friends, Jimin and his family. They all know how Tae is, so they didn't give him some stupid expensive things, rather the things that will make the boy genuinely happy.

Jin and Namjoon has gifted Tae a backpack from Tae's favorite brand Gucci. The bag was in black colour with embroidery on it. The sides had flower designs and there was a tiger in the middle. While Park family has gifted a set of bags and shoes all in red colour, it has one backpack, one clutch and a pair of shoes.

Hoseok and Soomin has gifted him a trendy pair of earrings made of platinum. Yoongi gave a long phone clutch wallet made of leather, it has floral design on it.

"Wow I got so many bags" Tae said. He then started opening a big gift wrapped box that has Jimin's name written on it. Inside it he found a pair of plushie dolls.

"Oh it's tata" Tae said and picked up the doll that has red heart shaped head and blue body.

Tae showed the doll to Jungkook "see Kookie it's tata" he said excitedly.

"Tata just like you are Taetae?" Jungkook asked smiling and Tae nodded his head.

Tae then picked up the other doll that was light pink in colour and looked somewhat like a bunny. There was a sticky note on its back. The couple started reading it.

"Hello, My name is cooky. I'm tata's husband" this is what was written on the note.

"Aww Kookie look it's you" Tae said excitedly showing Jungkook the doll "Jiminie is so cute, he got tata a husband" Tae exclaimed and Jungkook grinned seeing his baby getting all excited over a plushie. He is still a child in heart, he fondly thought.

After opening all the gift Tae finally started opening the one that has no name on it.

As he opened the box and saw the items inside, his face became bright red and so was Jungkook's. Both were blushing and weren't able meet each other's gaze seeing them.

Well you all must be wondering what was there inside the box that turned the couple into blushing mess. So let me tell you, inside the box was laid,

A bottle of lube and a big box of condoms.

Now you all must be thinking who gifted it, for that there was a note too inside the box, that read,

"Dear Taetae,

We hope you like the gift. Use them the next time you decide to "have Ramen together" with Jungkook.

With Love,

Park Soomin & Park Minyoung"
