Parenting 101

Chapter- 13 (Maknaes' mess Part-2)

It had been silent for quite some time now. Jungkook could hear the shuffling downstairs and Taehyung calling him for lunch but he chose to ignore it. He wasn't going to go down there.

Not after all that happened.

Weirdly enough, after his anger outburst and when his nerves calmed down, the first thought he had was of how sorry he was to his elder brother.
Was this how his brother felt when they got in a fight and his mom said he wanted to talk to the elder only?
It was an ugly feeling.

Being lost in his thoughts, he didn't hear the door open, or little steps in the direction of his bed, until a hand came to rest on his foot. Jungkook was sure he jumped a feet or two in the air, sitting while hugging his legs as he stared at the hand.

And then who it belonged to.

His posture slumped as he gulped, looking at Mira with bored eyes "Oh, you." He mumbled, watching the younger smile brightly, trying to pull herself on the bed.

"Oh no no." He swiped his hand on the bed, smacking the little ones away. Mira looked up at him, holding her hands together.
"I don't wanna be shouted at.... Not Again." Jungkook muttered, internally screaming at himself for his childish behaviour. Mira blinked up at him, before sighing, settling on the floor and patting the space next to her, inviting him to join.
He refused, lying on his stomach as he looked down at Mira. The little one, fumbled with her fingers, "Kookie angwy?"

Jungkook wanted nothing more than to punch himself in the face and then yeet himself out of the window. Preferably jump in the Han River and never come out again.
"I'm.... Not angry.. I just got... Upset." He didn't even know if that made any sense. But maybe it did with how Mira's eyes lit up and her lips curved up "No angwy?"

"Nope. No angry." He chuckled, smiling down at her. He would be damned if he were angry at such a cute little bean. "Are you okay, though? Did you get hurt?"
Mira nodded at him, pointing at her red elbows and back "Hurts, little. But okay." She stated, looking at him with a kicked puppy look "I'm sorry Kookie."
Jungkook looked away, breathing out, "I'm sorry too. I... I was stupid."
"Kookie stupid." Mira copied, nodding lightly.

"You little-" Jungkook made an attempt to catch the younger in his hands, making her shriek as she scurried to the other side. Mira stuck her tongue out at Jungkook, shouting a loud yes to Hoseok who was calling for the both of them for lunch before bolting out of the room with a giggle.
Two minutes later, she rushed back in with a frown. "What?" Jungkook raised his eyebrow at her, lying on his side with elbow supporting his head. Mira scoffed, pulling the arm under his head "Lunch." she mumbled, tugging at the limb. Jungkook chuckled, she wasn't going to make him budge an inch.

Or so he thought.

Having grown frustrated with the elder's play (And the smug look he had), Mira had taken her deep breath. She had seen it on the cartoons she watched, Tae and Jimin had taught her this.

When an enemy comes, take a deep breath and channel your inner strength.

Mira huffed, opening her eyes and grabbing the limb again, pressing her feet strongly on the mat as she tugged with all the strength she had.

And it worked!

Kook made a yelp of surprise, his arm went straight as his head went off the edge of his bed, body half down half up. He looked at Mira who stood there looking prideful of her doing. "Lunch." She said again, this time, confident as she started walking away. Jungkook grumbled, pressing his palms on the floor and doing a handstand before (not too quietly) landing on his feet. Mira turned around watching Kook give her a sinister smile, as she let out a small noise of surprise and dashed out.
