【 Jungkook 】

He kept on chuckling softly while he gently reached over and placed his hand on your cheek, wiping some foam off of the corner of your lip, immediately licking it away from his thumb making your breath hitch as you blushed

God damn it heart, please calm down...

You looked away shyly as you cleared your throat speaking softly

Jungkook: I-I could've removed it myself if you told me... but thanks

This only earned another warm chuckle from him as you switched back to your own coffees, sipping them in a comfortable silence whilst watching Nari happily run around the place playing around.

Though you naturally found yourself glancing over to Taehyung to admire the fond smile painting his lips as he watched Nari and waved every now and then, and you couldn't help but smile as you looked down at your coffee cup

Jungkook: It must've been tough to suddenly raise her as your own after your sister passed...

He looked down at you in slight surprise, clearly not expecting your words of compassion but nonetheless nodded as he sighed softly 

Taehyung: Yeah... Mom and dad have been of great help in guiding me, but at the end of the day, I'm really the only parental figure she has left... I just hope I've done at least something right

The clear hesitation and uncertainty in his words nearly made your heart clench in sadness, and so you looked up at him, flashing him a warm and reassuring smile whilst gently placing your hand onto his arm

Jungkook: Trust me you have... You keep proving and showing just how much you care for her and love her, and that already speaks for itself, so please don't doubt yourself...

His eyes flashed a soft pink as he placed his hand on top of yours while smiling, but you quickly moved away from each other as Nari suddenly ran up to the two of you happily

Nari: Appa, Jungkookie look what I made!

She handed Taehyung a drawing she had made, displaying the three of you holding hands with your names written next to the characters, and she had also drawn in ice cream and coffee cups and hearts in different colors onto the paper, earning bright smiles from the both of you as Taehyung gently ruffled her hair making her giggle

Taehyung: Woah you made this? Appa will frame it when we get back home!

Jungkook: Awww you're a little artist sweetie!

As she crawled up into your lap, you gently wrapped your arms around her to ensure she wouldn't fall as she began to explain the drawing even more while resting against your chest

Nari: -and these hearts are the sprinkles from my ice cream that turned into hearts!

After the little cuddle break, she then hopped back down onto the ground while Taehyung patted her back gently

Taehyung: Alright hun, go play with your friends for a little more and we'll start going home okay?

You watched as she nodded happily before running off, making you giggle softly as you examined her drawing even more

Jungkook: How adorable... I've never had anyone draw me before

He held the drawing next to your face and smiled brightly as he nodded

Taehyung: Looks exactly like you as well!

You both burst out into a fit of laughter as he held onto the drawing dearly making sure to keep it safe so that he could frame it when they got back home.
