Single Father • Namjoon + BTS!Kids

EXTRA: TAEHYUNG

"So what?" Tae asked, rolling his eyes, but Jungkook squinted down at the screen.

"It also says...'comes mostly when you're in puberty.'" Jungkook stared at Tae suspiciously. "Are you in puberty?"

"No, he's in a house," Jin mumbled before laughing softly at his own joke. As the room fell silent, he looked back down at his phone and pretended that he wasn't eavesdropping.

"Answer me, Tae! Have you been holding out on me?!" Jungkook demanded, and Taehyung bared his teeth at Tae.

"I don't know! It's not like there's a fu-" He paused, looking over at Jin to gauge whether or not Jin was listening and would scold him for language. "fricking sign with an arrow saying, 'puberty dead ahead' or something.'"

"Really?" Jungkook asked conversationally. "I always thought I would get like a notification on my phone or something. Like it would be added into my calendar. You have puberty scheduled today from 8:00 AM to the foreseeable future."

"Maybe it is a phone notification," Tae said, smirking. "You wouldn't know though, would you?"

Jungkook glared at Tae before holding down the home button on his phone.

"What can I help you with?" Siri asked.

"Am I going through puberty right now?" Jungkook asked, blinking anxiously as he awaited Siri's answer.

After an agonizing five seconds, Siri delivered.

"Searching for pasta places within five miles of your current location."

Jungkook groaned and threw his phone against the wall, whereupon it slid down behind the bed and fell onto the floor. Meanwhile, Tae just laughed his ass off.

As Jungkook got on the floor to retrieve his phone, he thought of another idea. "Maybe Yoongi would know something about it?" Jungkook asked, snatching his phone before looking up at Tae to confirm his theory.

"Why do you think Yoongi's already gone through it?" Tae asked before making a face of distate and punching his chest. "Frick, it's stuck," he muttered. "Maybe if I- never mind, it's fixed now."

"Well, Yoongi's so grouchy now and stuff, that's because of puberty, right?" Jungkook asked, and Tae stared at Jungkook weirdly.

"He's always been grouchy."

"Ah, right." Jungkook's eyes widened immediately. "How long has he been in puberty?"

"Shut up- frick, it's back," Tae said, groaning.

"Wait," Jungkook said suddenly, horrified.

"What?" Tae asked, caught off guard. "Is something wrong?"

"Well, you're older than me by like a full two minutes, and Jimin is older than you, so..."

"No. No way," Tae denied, shaking his head. "There is absolutely no way that Jimin went through puberty before me."

Their argument turned into a petty squabble before they all went outside to play, and at night, Tae waited for the others to fall asleep before taking action.

They woke up the next morning, and Kookie was the last up, as he liked to lie in bed longer than the others.

Tae pretended to be asleep though, and he pretended to groggily wake up when he heard Jungkook shout.

"TAEHYUNG! IT'S REAL! I TOLD YOU!" Jungkook yelled, immediately climbing down the ladder and jumping into Tae's bed, landing on his ankle, and Tae winced.

"What's real?" he asked, faking a yawn, and Jungkook held his phone in front of Tae's face.

Calendar notification

You have puberty scheduled today from 8:00 AM to the foreseeable future.

"Would you look at that," Tae said, pretending to be amazed. "Well, check the calendar. How long is the foreseeable future?"

Jungkook excitedly opened up the app. "It looks like I'll be in puberty for-" He stopped, heartbroken. "Two weeks? Only two weeks? That isn't enough time for anything!"

"Shame," Tae muttered, rolling over so his face was pressed into a pillow to hide his smirk. "Better luck next time."

"I don't have a next time! This was my one chance! I was supposed to become muscular and tall and gorgeously attractive!" Kookie whined.

Tae knew that this was the perfect cue to be a good brother and flatter Jungkook by telling him You're already all of those things.

Instead, he went for the kill. "Well...I guess we can always place our hope on Jimin."

"What? No! NONONONONO!"

Tae laughed but stopped laughing when the laughter hit an octave far below his range. "You know what? I could get used to this-" Tae glared at the pillow as his voice regressed from the deep, seductive tone it had temporarily borrowed. "Not cool, puberty. Not cool."
