"It wasn't me, Mom. It was Jungkook who was bathing." Jin says, his voice tinged with faux seriousness as he He points a finger at Jungkook with an exaggerated expression of innocence.

The elder male smiled in an attempt to calm the younger down but it only added more to the boy's rage.

"Choco, why will I call you fat huh? You already are -"

"Woah!" The boy sprang up from his seat and without a word swiftly closed the door behind him and made a dash to leave.

Jin called out urgently, his voice echoing with worry as he hurried towards the door.

"Perfect. I was saying perfect."
