The next days were important to Taehyung. This will determine his final paper on his final year in college. It wasn't mentioned before but Taehyung is taking up Fine Arts in college. Before Joowon had arrived in his life, Taehyung had dreamt of putting up his own art collection and maybe a museum to inspire other people of the things he only dreamt once. After Joowon had arrived, this dream has only gotten bigger as the child brought more art in his life.

"Mr. Jeon!" Taehyung quickly called out to his professor who was about to hop in his car.

"Yes, Mr. Kim?" The professor asked in surprised as he looked at his breathless student.

"I just want to ask about my final paper." Taehyung handed him his research.

"I will get back to you on this one, Taehyung. I'll send an email as soon as I'm done." Mr. Jeon tapped his shoulder.

As Taehyung watch his professor drove off, his phone vibrated signaling for an incoming call.

"Hey, Jiminie." Taehyung aswered as he walked towards the bus stop.

"Tae, we're in the park. Joowon insisted on playing with his new toy. He even got Yoongi outside his studio."

"Wow! You have to have kids."

"I think I'm good at being his baby. Thank you very much."

"Yes, but you told me you want him to take you out on dates other than in his house or studio." Taehyung hopped in the bus, holding his phone between his shoulder and ear as he tapped his card.

"Hey! We have a lot of things we can do inside his apartment which I prefer now."

"Make sure my child did not hear you say that. I'm on my way now. Just wait for me there." Taehyung said in which Jimin replied with a hum.

Taehyung smiled as he thought how the couple admire his son, especially Yoongi. As he arrived at the park, he saw Jimin and Yoongi sitting at the grass together while his son ran around chasing his helicopter which was controlled by Yoongi.

"I think you're both tiring him so much." Taehyung said as he walked walk up to them.

"Appa!" An excited Joowon ran up to him with sweats running down his face.

"Don't worry. We fed him ice cream. I think all those sugar will do the work." Yoongi said.

"Hey!" Jimin and Joowon exclaimed at the same time because the three of them were supposed to keep that a secret. Jimin proceed to hit his boyfriend's lip lightly to scold him.

"That's okay, Woonie. I'm just glad you had a great day with them but next time, do not just asked for ice cream. They have loads of money they can spoil you with." Taehyung assured his son which the couple protested with. Of course, all of them were joking because as much as Taehyung knows that the couple will do everything for him and Joowon, he doesn't want to burden them too much. He's already thankful that he can leave Joowon with them.

"Then, can I buy cotton candy?" Joowon excitedly exclaimed while he clapped his hands. Before Taehyung can argue, Yoongi handed Joowon money.

"Hyung!" Taehyung, who was ready to scold his friend, sighed as he watched his son run up to the cotton candy stand but then, he immediately stood up as he saw him tripped.

"Are you okay?" A stranger helped him stand up.

The child cried when he felt pain on his knees. The man carried him to the bench. He helped the child by cleaning his wound.

"Oh my! Woonie, are you okay?" Taehyung went up to his child, crying as well as he saw the wound on Joowon's knees. Yoongi and Jimin followed them. The man watched in amusement when he saw Taehyung crying too.

"Don't worry. That is normal. He always cry when his child is hurt." Yoongi tapped the young man's shoulder for assurance that the scene in front of him happens.

"Let me clean the wound for you." The man insisted, removing the dirt on Joowon's wound using his handkerchief. After doing that, he covered it with a bunny band-aid.

"Look, Appa. It's me." Joowon exclaimed in between his hiccups. He smiled at the stranger in which the young man returned.

"Oh my gosh!" Jimin yelled while hitting Yoongi as he saw Joowon's smile resembled the other one. Taehyung didn't even bother looking at Jimin because he was too focused on the young man smiling in front of him.

"I think we should thank him, shouldn't we, Joowon?" Taehyung asked his son.

"Yes, I'll treat you cotton candy, Mr." Joowon said happily as if he wasn't crying earlier. He proudly showed the money Yoongi gave him to the stranger.

"Alright. Hold my hand so that you won't trip again, handsome." The young man said, standing up and offering his hand to the child which Joowon immediately held.

"Let's go, Appa!" Joowon grabbed Taehyung's hand as well before walking to the cotton candy stand again.

"Why are you yelling earlier, babe?" Yoongi turned to his boyfriend who was now busy taking picture of the three. Jimin shushed him and promised to tell it to him later.

"Thank you for everything." Taehyung said while handing the man his cotton candy.

"Thank you, Mr...?" Joowon asked, looking up to the stanger in front of him.

"My name is Jungkook. What is your name?" The man, Jungkook, bent down to Joowon's eye level as he asked him.

"I am Kim Joowon, Mr. Jungkookie! Mr. Kookie!" Joowon giggled at the name he just mentioned. "I like cookies and your name sound like cookie so I'll name you Kookie!"

"I'm sorry. He just loves giving nickname." Taehyung apologized for his child's behaviour which he thought might offend the other.

"It's okay, but what's not okay is I haven't gotten your Appa's name yet. Should I also call him Appa?" Jungkook jokingly asked Joowon but his question was obviously directed to Taehyung.

"No! His name is Kim Taehyung." Joowon giggled again as he find the man funny.

"Well, then. I hope my services were helpful, Mr. Kim Taehyung." Jungkook stood up again. He offered his hand to Taehyung for a handshake.

"Yes. Thank you for that, Mr. Jungkook. Is it okay for me to call you by your first name? You haven't told me your last name yet." Taehyung asked, shaking the man's hand.

"It's Jeon Jungkook."
