A Still Day or A Hurricane
"Jinnie, what flavor do you want?" Jungkook asks his daughter, adorable in her braided pigtails - that he did - as she tiptoes to look inside the ice cream display.
She'd insisted that she's a big girl now and doesn't need him to carry her around all the time, and Jungkook felt the tiniest bit of heartbreak at the thought of the little one slowly growing up.
"I want bubblegum!" She squeals, before briefly looking behind her and then back at her father. "Hyun-jung and Hyun-woo want chocolate chip and strawberry, dada."
Jungkook scrunches his eyebrows at the little one who looks back at him with the sweetest smile.
"Your brothers are babies, Jinnie. They can't even talk!"
"But I know they want to try it," she pouts.
"And they can't because they're too young," Jungkook answers.
"But... I want to try it."
She flashes those puppy-dog eyes of hers that she does whenever she's not getting what she wants, and Jungkook is about to give in until he hears you clear your throat to remind him that he has to stand his ground. You're standing nearby with the stroller where your twin sons are, watching in amusement as Jungkook and Heejin have another one of their stand-offs that you have too much fun being a spectator of.
"That's too much sugar, sunshine," he says, kneeling down to talk to her. "You already had nutella pancakes this morning. Just choose one flavor and then we'll get that in a cone."
"What if we get them in baby scoops!"
"They don't have baby scoops," he responds, hoping she doesn't call his bluff. "Because babies can't have them."
"But I'm a big girl!"
"Yes, and big girls follow their dada when he says that you've had too much sweets already."
"But you eat a lot of sweets," she crosses her arms now, cute little eyebrows furrowing in frustration.
"Because that's dada's job, sunshine. And I'm an adult."
"But mama calls you 'baby'!"
You snort, unable to hold in your laughter at your daughter's arguing prowess, prompting Jungkook to turn to you with a frown.
"That's a term of endearment, Jinnie, the way I call you sunshine or how mama calls you bubba. We call you those because we love you," he explains. "And mama calls me that because she loves me."
"Sometimes I call him a child, too, when he's being stubborn and acting like one," you chime in, with Jungkook glaring at you this time. "But can you listen to dada, please? We can come back here tomorrow and try the other flavors, is that okay?"
"Hmm, okay," she says softly after a while, jutting her bottom lip in submission. "I want bubblegum today."
Jungkook orders it then gives it to her, her smile already bright as she hums in satisfaction. But he knows he won't get over the look on her face from earlier, so he turns to the guy behind the counter and orders strawberry for you and chocolate chip for him. Heejin doesn't notice, as she focuses on her sweet treat that she's been looking forward to all day.
"Hey sunshine, do you want to try? Mama and dada got strawberry and chocolate chip, too," Jungkook says, anticipating her look of surprise.
It doesn't disappoint, as she turns towards him with her wide eyes and excitedly opens her mouth so he could feed her. She turns to you after, licking from the top of your scoop then giggling in enjoyment.
"You happy now?" Jungkook asks, wanting to hear it from her.
"Yes!" She squeals. "Dada, can you carry me on your shoulders?"
"I thought you're a big girl now," he counters.
"But I'm dada's big girl," she says, leaving Jungkook a giddy mess and unable to resist.
He lifts her up and shifts her so she could sit on his shoulders, something he doesn't want her to outgrow even if she's getting heavier and heavier, but it's something he'll keep doing for as long as she keeps asking for it.
Next to him, you're pushing the stroller and eating the ice cream you don't mind having on this sunny day. "She's a stubborn one, isn't she?"
"A good negotiator, too. I wonder where she got that from," Jungkook laughs.
"Definitely me," you chuckle. "But she's so sweet and so clingy. She definitely got those from you. Even those puppy dog-eyes and that adorable smile. Are you sure you're not the other biological half of her? What if you donated sperm and you just forgot?"
"Babe, I'm pretty sure that's something I would remember," he looks at you blankly.
"Just saying. She just takes so much from you and it's amazing," you smile, knowing it's something that Jungkook loves hearing.
He hums in satisfaction, laughing as Heejin calls for him and then you to feed her your respective ice creams. He thinks he did well, explaining things to her even if he eventually gave in. He won't deny it though, he lives for these banters with her; it's something he knows is pretty special about their relationship. As is when she's on his shoulders and she softly places her hand on his cheek, like now.
That is, until he feels something sticky on his skin.
"Jinnie, did you wipe your hands?" He asks, prompting you to look up at your daughter with smudged ice cream on her chin.
"Oops," she laughs. "Sorry, dada."
