Jungkook was not one to shout at his children for behaving badly or punish them for their misbehaving. But he could not tolerate them disrespecting their mother. Their pregnant mother.
Of course, he would not give them the 'belt' as he believed in peaceful 'negotiation' as he called it. Parenting is not easy. Especially if you want your children to grow as 'humans'.
"Well, Jeon Daejung." Jungkook said in a stern and clear intonation. The poor boy looked at his feet. Not brave enough to face his father.
He rarely seen his father getting angry at him and his sister. In fact, he almost never get angry. But he should know enough by now that those who rarely get angry will be distinctively scary once they are. So he would not want to add more to his anger.
"Look at your father, Jeon Daejung."
Daejung bit his lower lip. Poor boy looked as pale as a chalk, the white one of course. As his eyes landed on his father furious face, he could not help his pooling tears from dropping down his cheeks.
"I-I'm sorry." He managed to mutter despite his trembling sorrowful little voice.
Jungkook sighed. "Apologising is not enough. It is never enough. You need to show it. Show that you're sorry." His gaze softened.
"Your mother is beyond tired. She is carrying your siblings. Remember when you complaint about your backpack being too heavy?"
"Mhmm" Daejung nodded as he looked at his father's pair of doe eyes. Identical to his own.
"Well, imagine carrying that all the time, even while sleeping. Won't you be tired?"
Daejung started sobbing harder. "O-omma" He felt really sorry for disobeying his mother just now. What a terrible son he is!
Jungkook sighed. He let his son cried his heart out, glad that he finally realised his mistake.
Now he looked to his left. To his naughty mischievous daughter and unfortunately too cute for Jungkook to scold. But he won't let this one slide. He doesn't want to grow up thinking it is okay to do that.
The little girl fiddled with the hem of her shirt. Trying to avoid his father gaze. She had tried to act cute. As cute as she can but it didn't work magic for her this time.
"Jeon Yeseul. Do you k-"
"Ae sowy! Ae yuv mama~ Ae sowy... Papa Ae sowy~"
Jungkook haven't started with his 'lecture' and the little girl had started crying already. She doesn't like this version of him. She wants her father back. If it means that his father will turn into this unrecognisable persona every time she misbehave, she swears... She will never do that ever again!
"Listen. You are here because of your mother. Well, I had a big part in creating you guys too but... She was the one who carried the two of you for nine months. Can you pay her back for that? Never. You may give her everything in this world but they won't be enough to pay for her sacrifices. Do you understand?"
Both Daejung and Yeseul nodded as they cried their eyes out. The sounds of sniffling and apologies fulled the room.
"Oh my! What happened here?!"
The children looked at their mother who just came into the kitchen, puzzled with the condition of her children. They ran immediately into their mother's arms, crying like there are no tomorrow.
"What had happened while I went to the bathroom? Yeobo?"
Daejung shook his head. "I'm sorry, omma. I will not complaint about your foods ever again. I will not skip a meal! I will always be thankful... I'm so sorry, omma..."
Yewon gasped. Still confused. She looked at her husband for a hope of an answer but the man just nodded.
"Ae sowyy mama~"
The young mother nodded and wiped both of her children's wet cheeks. She sighed and give a look at her husband who looked like he was trying to hide a laughter. She knew he could never really get angry at their children.
"I forgive you. Whatever it was don't ever do it again or you will receive some scolding from your appa again. You guys sure don't want that. Right?" Yewon held both of their hands as she looked them in the eyes.
"We won't. We promise." Daejung and Yeseul hooked their pinky with Yewon's.
She nodded and pointed at Jungkook with her chin, asking the children to promise their father too.
Both of them were hesitant to approach him but they could not bear the burden of not being in a good term with their father so they ran to him as soon as he opened his arms wide. Pulling the bundles of sunshine into his embrace.
"We promise that we won't ever behave badly and we will listen to omma and we will eat our foods, we won't ever complain, we won't be picky eater... We will never talk back to appa and omma and we will-"
"Pinky!" Yeseul lifted his hand to do the pinky promise. His brother talked too much.
Jungkook didn't change the stern face he was wearing. It made the children nervous than ever before! He won't forgive them, will he?
"Papa..." Yeseul's eyes started to water again. She is so not used to his father being like this.
When the young father's lips turned into a gentle smile, both Yeseul and Daejung cheer loudly. They couldn't be more relieve!
"Now, let's have a peaceful dinner shall we?" Yewon laughed out loud when all three bunnies get right at the seat and started digging in.
There sure is nothing easy about parenting. Especially for young parents like Jungkook and Yewon. People would not hesitate to show their doubt at them. But they think they will have it their own way.
That for sure.
.

.
"Yeobo? Do you think we should register aegi to kindergarten next year? Or wait till she's five?" Yewon looked inside the mirror at the reflection of her husband in it. Sitting on the bed, practising his guitar. The man looked so charming when he is focused and preoccupied with something.
Jungkook stopped moving his fingers and chuckled. "I am still not used to you calling me 'yeobo'. Though it thrills me every time!"
He got up and approached his wife who sent him an annoyed look but Jungkook knew her too well. She can't be annoyed!
"You are the one who asked me to call you 'yeobo', oppa." Yewon turned around and Jungkook kneeled in front of her.
The man put both of his palms on the either sides of her protruding stomach. Looks like the babies will come out very soon. Yes, if they are expecting a baby but they aren't. Twins are what they are waiting for.
The doctor said it is normal for her tummy to be that size at 7 months into the pregnancy as she is carrying two children at once.
"I love it. When you call me 'yeobo', it makes me realised that we are really married. Actually I still could not quite believe that we are married with childrens. Even expecting two more additions!"
Yewon put her hands over Jungkook's. "Neither do I. I sometimes wonder what if all of these are just a dream? What if I am not looking at you, now? If this is actually happening in my dream. What if Daejung and I are actually still sleeping in the small apartment and we're dreaming right now?"
Jungkook shook his head and brought her into a tight hug. He shouldn't started the conversation. He should had know well enough how emotional a pregnant woman could be.
"I would never want to wake up. Never..."
"Shss... This isn't a dream. I am right here. Everything is as real as Suga hyung's firery rap... Or Namjoon's hyung 148 IQ... Or Jin hyung's high notes... Or-"
Yewon started laughing and slapped her husband's broad shoulder. The man joined her. It is really easy to change a hormonal pregnant woman's emotion.
"It's late. Let's get you to bed."
Jungkook kissed Yewon's exposed forehead and lifted her in his arm. He was careful to bring her to their bed and pulled the cover up her chest before he get to his side of the bed.
It is a shame that he couldn't wrap her in his arms while sleeping anymore. The pregnancy wouldn't allow her to be in any other positions. It is too uncomfortable and stop her from sailing to dream land.
Jungkook turned off the light and lied on his side. One hand under cheeks, as his pillow. "About Aegi's kindergarten..."
Yewon hummed.
"I want her to be a careless little girl as long as we can allow her. School can wait. She's still a baby" Jungkook chuckled.
"I have the same thought." Yewon sounds so relieved.
Jungkook held her hand and caressed it with his thumb. "Did the parents at Daejung's school told you how to be a parent... again?" He asked.
Yewon bit her lower lip and tried to avert her gaze from Jungkook. The man sighed and closed his eyes for a moment.
"There's nothing wrong in listening to people's opinions but it doesn't mean that we should follow every single bit of it. We do what we think are right for us."
"I'm sorry..."
Jungkook brought his wife's hand to his lips and gave it a tender kiss. Symbolising his forgiveness and warning not to do it again.
"Now. Add me to the group and you leave."
Yewon frowned and laughed a little. "You sure you want to be added to that group? To 'Sun Flower Class Progressive Passionate Fashionista Mother Club (SFC2PF MC)' You want to join that group?" She laughed.
Jungkook rolled his eyes. "What kind of club is that?"
Yewon laughed again. "I know, right?"
And they both laughed. "I wouldn't mind joining the ladies if that means you won't be contaminated by their thoughts anymore." Jungkook said.
Yewon scoffed. "I don't think they would like that. It is clear and bold in the description that NO MAN ARE ALLOWED"
Jungkook rolled his eyes. "Well, promise me that nothing they say will affect the way of your thinking."
The young wife smiled and nodded. "Promise" She said as she brought her husband hand to her face, kissing it to seal her promise.
"Done with the talking. Let's sleep now shall we, dear?"
"Hmm..."
Jungkook let go of her hand and sat up half way to kiss her stomach. Saying goodnight to his children and lastly to his lovely wife.
"Goodnight."
.
.
.
All of her pregnancy were different from one another. It would be a lie if Yewon dare to say that this time's pregnancy is easier because of all the experiences.
The babies inside her are growing each and everyday limiting her from doing things that she usually did before. Apparently, she discovered that her legs and back are too sore to stand up for too long so Jungkook, being the sweetheart that he is, insist on having her a wheelchair.
Oh, she had never even imagine herself in need of the 'fancy' chair.
"I hate feeling so hopeless like this." Yewon complaint for the umpteenth times.
The girl in front of her smirk and wiggled her eyebrows. "Oh, Yewon. I know you love it! Your husband is so helplessly in love with you. Even going as far as to warn me not to talk too much when I come. He doesn't want me to tire you out. That man is really something!"
"I'm sorry, Yuna eonni. You know I love hearing you talk." Yewon's eyes soften as she looked at Yuna. "Don't listen to him"
"Right!?"
Yewon nodded as she giggled. "How's thing going with Taehyung oppa?" She asked out of the blue and perhaps, Yuna almost choke on her tea.
"Why, we're fine." She answered after coughing several times.
"I heard from Jungkook that you guys are planning on stepping up another level in your 'adventurous' relationship" Yewon said. Her voice sounded so excited as she waited for her best friend's confirmation.
Yuna sighed. "I don't know. We're fine as we're now. Don't you think it is too soon?"
"Well... I moved in with Jungkook when I was 15... So I am not the right person to talk about 'too soon'." Yewon gave Yuna a sarcastic look.
"I know I know... What were you guys thinking at that time? Where did you get the courage to do that?"
Yuna looked up to the ceiling as if the answer is there.
"We just want to be together is all"
"Because you guys are match made in heaven. Both of you are..."
The slight sorrow didn't get unnoticed as Yuna tried to think of the right words to convey her thoughts.
"... At the same 'level'..."
Yewon frowned. "Eonni, what are you talking about?"
Yuna shrugged. "He is a world superstar and I..." She turned her gaze down. "I am nothing. I don't even have proper jobs. He is world no. 1 handsome... And I-"
Yewon shook her head and tried to hold Yuna's hand but she pulled it away. "Don't you see this face here? Is this face even worth to be seen with Kim Taehyung?!"
Yewon nodded. "More than worth it!"
"Well, thanks for your kind lie, Yewon." Yuna said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
"I am speaking nothing but fact, eonni. Please, give yourself a chance. Follow your heart for once." Yewon held Yuna's hand and this time she didn't pushed her away.
"But..."
Yewon shook her head. "Stop thinking about all the 'buts'. I really want you and Taehyung oppa to be happy. This is probably the only time I would say this... Please be selfish for once!"
Yuna glassy eyes looked deep into Yewon's. She nodded and smiled gently.
"I will..."
.
.
.
"You are quite content now. I remember when you used to scream like your soul was suck out of you every time we watch BTS"
Yuna shook her head. "Stop talking to me or this shell that I tried so hard to built in order to content my 'fan girling' spirit will break."
Yewon chuckled.
"Appa!! Samchon" Daejung yelled as the screen displayed BTS again after a short ad break.
The four of them are currently sitting together in the living room. Their attention were fully on BTS' online concert that was going on right now!Daejung and Aegi right in front of the television, while Yewon and Yuna sitting behind them, leaning against the couch.
"Oh, look how dreamy they are~" Yuna begin. She had her arm wrapped tightly around a pillow. "Jimin oppa... Don't do this to me~"
Yewon smiled teasingly at Yuna, she knew the older girl is trying with all her might not to scream at the top of her lungs. She tried to be calmer, she stated one morning.
"Taehyung Oppa looks so charming." Yewon stated her remark.
Yuna nodded. "I know, right? He's a prince! He's so charming and amazing and spectacular! Only princess should be standing next to him at the altar."
Yewon frowned. "You are a princess eonni."
"I prefer to be a commoner. A farmer's daughter that is having a tragical adventurous romance with the prince. Oh, how dangerous does that sound." Yuna held her hand together over her chest and stared at the screen as if her prince will come out of it.
"Now that you put it that way, I think your relationship with Tae oppa do sound like a..." Yewon wiggled her eyebrows to tease Yuna. "... Tragical adventurous dangerous romance"
Both girls laughed.
"Ae papa!" Yeseul cheered when his father appeared in all black.
"It's the solo. Oh, Yewon~ how would you survive? Your beau looks so sexy and dreamy!" Yuna started again.
Yewon lips opened slightly agape as she saw the state of her husband. Doesn't that top looks a bit too revealing? Oh, his chest! He is showing his chest.
"O! O wo o wo o!!" Daejung and Yeseul started singing along their father's song. My Time.
"Papa angy?"
"That's passion, aegi-yah!" Daejung answered his sister. "Hana said when you do something with passion, your eyes will look like that!"
Yewon bit her lower lip as Jungkook started dancing seductively. He sure is sexy and dreamy! How come he never told her about this performance!? It was... Driving her crazy... Wait it's over?! It's too short!!
"Yewon? Hey? Are you alright?"
Yuna tapped her best friend's shoulder and she looked like she had just woken up from an enchantment. "Yes."
"Ginie samchon!! Oh, he has mini Earth!" Daejung and Aegi cheered.
"Worldwide Handsome, indeed. His voice sounds so sweet and gentle. I think honey will come out of my ears soon! His smile is the cure to many broken hearts. Oh, Jin oppa!" Yuna started again.
Yewon shook her head as she nodded to the music. She doesn't know what is better, Yuna fangirling like there is no tomorrow or fangirling as if she is a poet. Decorating her every words.
"Don't you think Namjoon oppa looks like someone you could put all of your trust in? His eyes, his eyes are the most sincere and honest eyes that I had ever landed my orbs on. The way he deliver the lyrics and accompany them with his beats. Oh, Yewon~ how lucky his wife is? If he is my partner in life... I would never have a sorrowful day?"
"Min Yoongi. Just looking at him send shiver down my spine. His voice, his words... He is painting his stories with his words... His voice is the colours~ the way he moved to the beat is his brush... Oh, Yewon! The stage is his canvas... Don't you think he is born to be on it? He is married to the music!"
"I had never seen anyone move so perfect. I am convinced that he is not a human being like the rest of us. His dance is perfect and so do his voice. Have you ever look at someone and you instantly bright up!? I want to give the world to him... No! I want to give the entire universe to him... Jung Hoseok... Maybe he isn't human after all... What a splendid creature he is..."
"I swear I am not drooling, Yewon. But I feel like I should. Why is he doing this to my caged heart? I have my prince but he is stealing me from him with his cold but gentle gaze... With his elegant yet sharp movement... Is he the definition of 'pied piper'? Because I am sure he is luring me into his eyes maze... Oh his voice. His voice is possessing me... Park Jimin, don't do this to me... This Choi Yuna is just a weak hopeless girl under your spell..."
Yewon doesn't know how to react. Choi Yuna had turned into a romantic poet. Is this new type of fangirling? It sure is calm but...
"MY PRINCE! Oh, Kim Taehyung. Your girl is not that strong to look at your shiny dazzling eyes. My ears are too weak to let your deep soulful voice in. My heart is too fragile to feel your passionate and charming aura! Oh, my soul is crying with your lyrics... This Kim Yuna is forever tied to you... How could I even think of other man when you are this perfect?...
Yuna sighed and her once excited eyes suddenly turned sorrowful.
... How could we fight against this social pyramid and entangle our fate?... I don't want to hide from this cruel world anymore, but I know... The moment I let go of this veil that protects us... Your castle will be ruined... Each block that you work so hard to stack over each other will be scattered all over you... I-"
"Eonni? Are you crying? Eonni..."
Yewon pulled Yuna into a hug despite her stomach getting in the way. The girl is crying painfully.
"It will be alright, eonni. I promise... Jungkook oppa and I did it... I believe you and Tae oppa can do it too..."
"It will be alright..."
