jangmi (장미) ● taejoon

Jangmi was waken up early at seven. It was a Saturday, so she could stay home and play with the maids for the day. She walked drowsily into the large bathroom that connected he bedroom with Taehyung's. Her room was next to her father's. Despite it being a big mansion, she didn't have much freedom to play in a bubble bath in the gigantic bathroom since she shared it with him.

She noticed him brushing his teeth. He was in a robe, messy bed hair, and stripped pajama pants. She always found it weird that he was always shirtless, wouldn't it be cold?

She pulled out a pink step stool under the sink cabinet and stood on it. Leaning over to grab her glittery toothbrush. They don't say a word to each other, only the sounds of their toothbrushes.

She looked over at her father in the mirror, mimicking the way he stood. He hand a hand on the sink counter, brushing his teeth aggressively till the white foam covered his lips and dripped down into the sink.

She does the same, having to open her mouth wide enough she was slightly frowning. Taehyung noticed, glancing back at her. They both make eye contact before looking away from each other.

Jangmi was so small compared to Taehyung, she was the little girl version of him. A carbon copy, she barely looked like her mother. Taehyung would say that was a good thing.

Randomly, Jangmi decided to do a little dance. She was bored, and if she left without brushing her teeth for three minutes Taehyung would lecture her and make her brush her teeth longer. She shimmed her bottom side to side, humming a muffled tune. Her hair tucked behind her ears, her face could be seen clearly. Her free hand was balled into a small fist.

Taehyung raised an eyebrow, looking over at the dancing girl. He doesn't say a word, listening to the song she was humming to herself. The man swipes a bit of foam off his lips and pressed it against Jangmi's cheek.

She stopped, watching the foam touch ed cheek. She grimaced, scrunching her nose. Toothpaste foam falls from her lips, "Ewww!" She tries to talk, "Papa! That's dirty!"

Taehyung chuckles, taking his toothbrush out of his mouth and spitting into the sink. He rinses his mouth with water, and when he looked back up Jangmi had wiped the foam off her lips and smothered his cheek with it.

"You have stinky breath," Taehyung says.

Jangmi gasps. "No I do not!"

"Smells like onions," Taehyung splashed water on her by flicking it with his fingertips. "That's why you need to brush your teeth everyday, little girl."

"Meanie!" She huffs, spitting into the sink and using a cup to fill with water and gargle. She wipes her mouth with her fuzzy pajama sleeve.

Taehyung ran his fingers through her soft long hair. "I'll be out for the day, you play with the maids today. I'll be home for dinner."

"Where are you going?" She asks. "Can I go?"

Taehyung sighs. "I'm going somewhere, and to adults only."

Jangmi puffed her cheeks, frowning.

It wasn't often Taehyung could act like a normal father.
